I own Samsung Note 4 with Snapdragon 805 Soc that supports HEVC or H.265 video with hardware decode upto 4K resolution I. Each 3840X2160
but if we are trying to play a HEVC HD video with HW mode it can only play Audio not video. With SW mode it can play HEVC HD video but when playing HEVC 4K video it's not able to play on HW mode but when playing on SW mode the video is playing with extreme lag.
Kindly fix it as Snapdragon 805 SOC is capable to play HEVC upto 4K without any issues.
Kindly Assist.

If it's supported natively it can be played with stock player.
Have you tried in stock player?
If it can be played by Stock Player, it suppose to be played in HW decoder of mx player.
If stock player can play, kindly collect the log after playing in HW decoder & attach here.
Regarding SW decoder, Your CPU is powerful enough to play HEVC HD video. But, it will obviously lag since it needs enormous CPU power to decode HEVC 4K videos.
HEVC HD and 4K on S805 SOC HW Decode Not Working on Note 4
Hello ktsamy,
No the stock player present in Note 4 LTE model is not able to play either HEVC / H.265 files natively in stock player only audio that can be played from those videos. Only HEVC HD contents AUDIO can be played in stock player (no video) and HEVC HD content can only be played on SW mode in MXPlayer almost 95% lag free and HEVC 4K is playing in SW mode only but it lags every Milli second.
Gionee S 5.5 is able to play HEVC HD on HW mode is mxplayer but Snapdragon 805 SOC is not, its such a shame. But I don;t think its a CPU fault as per my understanding. It is related to Samsung Media SDK they used and it looks MX player can also be altered with the MX team so that they can leverage the real potential of Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 SOC 2.7 Ghz Quad Core .
You can see below lines :
"4K playback with H.264 (AVC) and H.265 (HEVC) formats
4K capture with H.264 (AVC) format
Hollywood Quality Video™ technology (in HW) for post-processing DASH supported"
Check the above mentioned lines:
on Snapdragon Website as I cannot post link here as I am new member
Also check brief pdf file saying native HEVC support by S805 SOC Also attached here:
Please check and advise

If you look at the media_codecs.xml, all HEVC related entries are marked as comments ( Will starts with <!-- and ends with --> )
so, Samsung has disabled HEVC decoders (May be a licensing issue).
That's why MX Player (even Stock Player) can't decode natively. So, You have to use S/W decoder in order to play HEVC and Playback may not be smooth at higher resolutions since it needs extreme power to decode.
HEVC and S805 SOC and Note 4 HW mode
Hello Ktsamy and All Respected Members,
Can you please suggest is there any way we can enable teh HEVC entries to provide hardware decode of HEVC files HD and 4K both without rooting of the device and without warranty void.
I have also escalated the issue to Samsung India Support Team. They have asked me to send everything via email and with details.and bill copy of Note 4.
If its a feature of CPU it should be enabled by Samsung in Note 4.
Please also confirm if S805 SOC is capable of decoding HEVC 4K with HW mode ?
I also own Ginonee Elife s 5.5. mobile and it can play HD HEVC file with HW mode in mxplayer but not in HW+ mode and also it is not abale to play HEVC 4K video file.
Please revert.

There is no way to enable it until or unless Samsung includes the decoders.
According to the Specification Snapdragon 805 SoC supports HEVC 4K decoding.
But, I think even if chipset has the support, Samsung must obtain license to include the decoders.
That could be the possible reason.
Regarding the Gionee s5.5 HW+ issue,
can you play the video in HW+ when it fails, it will automatically switch over to S/W.
Now close the video & Goto Help >> Bug Report.

mx player plays hevc files
Anyone wants to plays hevc video file on mx player . First rename the video files (there will be two video files the other one will be like '0') with an .mkv or .avi format whichever the file belongs to in your file manager then the mx player will be able to play hevc videos.

Yes, it's completely depends on device.
If the device natively supports HEVC, you can play HEVC in HW decoder. Else, SW decoder is the only option. But, it needs very powerful processor.

If I want to play it in SW, then how much powerful processor is needed?

It depends upon the quality of the video.
Just try yourself. If SW is laggy, your processor is not powerful enough to play that video.

Any Device, with CyanogenOS 12.1 / CyanogenMod 12.1 Can play smoothly in HW for 720p hevc/x265 8bit (10bit, not sure) @ 25fps.
With the same codec & resolution above 25fps, You need a device Display of 720p Resolution (Must).
For PC (Windows Platform Only), The Best of The Best - K-Lite Mega Codec Pack ( Much better than VLC ) URL :-

Deblocking feature would be great for that. We can disable deblocking for highly compressed videos to achieve a better decoding.

You are completely wrong...!
Eventhough rom configuration also plays a vital role in multimedia performance, it's mainly depends on the processor. If I am not wrong to implement HW acceleration for HEVC the chipset must support HEVC.
In device with unsupported chipset can't be HW accelerated even when you use Cyanogen(Mod/OS) 12.1.

Hi i have wonderings, concerning HEVC on phones.
I can play my H265 videos on my phones enough smoothly (i used to have a Honor 6, and now it's a Oneplus X) - tryed VLC or MX Player Pro (+AC3&DTS Codec).
Yet i can't move inside any video. if i try to, the video always restart from the beginning. It's really annoying to me.
Concerning the HiSilicon processor, i thought there was some incompatibility, but with the OPX's SD801, everything should be fine, shouldn't it ?
Thanks in advance for your help

SW or HW decoder? Also, sounds like your video may have container wrapping issues, if you cannot seek.
OnePlus One should have more than enough power.
I've tried sw,hw, and hw+.
The behavior keeps the same.
As i mostly watch downloaded mangas, i've tried different ones, from different groups, but always impossible to seek inside a video...
What i understand from you is that it is not normal, and not a known issue... Crap!

@ktsamy, I Just Forgot That.
Thanks Mate.
@CDB-Man do you think it is something you can reproduce/investigate? (in OPX we have SD801 version aa i think...)
i truly believe that very few people use H265 for now, so such problem may keep marginal.
i haven't mentioned that i have tried every video reader i found on google play, all behave the same.
Or maybe does it come from the manufacturer's implementation/drivers in its rom ? (what about SD801 with samsung's S5 phone?)
I haven't encountered any seek issues specific to HEVC; what I have seen before are videos not in a proper MKV or other container, and therefore you cannot seek it.
A raw .hevc video stream file, you may not be able to seek.
Hi.
Recently bought H96 Max TV-Box and installed MX Player Pro on it.
But player can't play HEVC H265 videos in HW mode.
When trying to switch to HW mode it says it is not supported.
HW+ option is greyed out(not available) at all.
Currently using SW method but video playback is very bad with this method and it is impossible to watch with this method.
TV-Box based on RK3399 processor that claims full H265 hardware decoding support and I know it does because built in players can handle this file without problem with smooth playback.
How can I get smooth hardware decoding in player at this device?
hi, I'm going to receive this TV Box as well,
have you solved this problem? I'm a bit afraid of that...

Hi,
Actually, the issue is that system decoders in your device do not report that they can support HEVC 10bit profiles. So, MX Player does not try the hardware accelerated playbacks as several devices are known to crash when force decoding 10bit HEVC & H.264.
Based on some feedbacks from the users like you, we have decided to make this logic as optional. From 1.9.19, even if the device doesn't explicitly report it's capabilities, MX Player will list the HEVC 10bit & H264 10bit on HW+ Video Codecs list on Settings > Decoder. It can be enabled with a warning. Once you enable the HEVC 10bit or H.264 10bit, it will be tried in both HW & HW+.
We have already started rolling out the new version in stages. If you haven't received yet, you can manually grab the apk from our wesite & try yourself. Kindly leave a feedback after testing the same in your device.

Hi,
It depends. Not all HEVC files are same. For example your device may only support HEVC main profile upto 1080P @ 30fps.
In such cases, you can't play any HEVC 4K file or an HEVC file encoded with the Main10 profile or a video HEVC video with 60fps (in HW+, it may lag).
If you can't upload the logs here, you can share the link after uploading to anywhere else (like Google Drive, Dropbox, etc.,).
If you have issues with links as well, then just mask it ( Like replace http with h**p)

There is no log about the playback. Maybe some other app is generating too many logs.
Kindly Increase the log buffer size on developer options on your system & collect the log again immediately after attempting to play in HW & HW+.
Never mind, I've figured it out. The problem was that the videos I tried to play were encoded at level 4, while my phone only supports hardware decoding up to level 3.1.
Again, thanks for your help.
hi,
I have an Minix U9-H box (android 6.0) and when I play full HD streaming files from my ip tv provider using HW+ decoder, the video quality is poor. It's working fine with HW or SW decoder (The codec used by mx player is ARM V7 NEON).
I checked also in perfect player and when using HW+, it seems the player downgrade the video resolution to SD format.
Any clue ?

It should be a bug in the system decoder. In HW+, MX Player passes the frames to the system decoders to directly decode. Probably, the resolution of the decoded frame might be low. We have encountered a similar issue in the past especially when the stream is interlaced. If it's the root cause, then it has to be fixed on the firmware. You will notice similar issues with all major video player apps which makes use of similar technology.

HW and HW+ uses GPU for H.264 decoding. They performance much better from SW which uses CPU for decoding. HW can perform better than HW+ in most of the Cases, but there is a chance it does not work smoothly on many devices.

It may happen when the Hardware Accelerated Decoders implemented on the device itself is buggy. Can you please contact us with screenshots of the playback on HW/HW+ and SW along with a bug reported collected from MX right after playing the file? It will help us to confirm the same.
There is no error, just low quality. HW and HW+ is same. SW is good.
The problem only occurs when viewing iptv (multicast - udp), watching the file on the hard disk is ok

It is one of the known issues on Xiaomi's TV boxes with Oreo and Nougat firmware. Based on our past investigation, it has been found that the hardware accelerated decoder's output resolution of the video frames is much lower than the actual frame size. As both HW and HW+ relies on the decoders shipped with the device, you can notice the issues on both. Request you to contact the device manufacturer so that they can fix the same on their firmware.
If it is possible, kindly share a link with us on PM or at [email protected] so that we can also escalate the same from our end.
I also tried on my phone (Mi Mix 2s - Android 9, MIUI 10) and it gave same results.

Let me guess a bit: The format of the service provider is 1080i, this issue relates to the deinterlacing algorithm. With HW decoder, resolution halved.
maybe recode your video?
Please create support for hevc(h265) which highly effective and efficient codec video format for video and has gain lots of popularity. There is also issue for hw+ not supporting and compatible with h264 and h263.

It depends on the device. Most of the modern devices can play HEVC Main profile videos in the HW & HW+ decoders. We will be able to assist you better if you can share a bug report from the MX Player help menu.
IN general, HW & HW+ decoders make use of the hardware acceleration provided by your device chipset. If the chipset doesn't support hardware acceleration of HEVC or it is not implemented by the manufacturer, there is no way to play the same in the HW or HW+ decoder. It is your hardware limitation. The only way to play is to use SW decoders. But, it may lag if your CPU is not powerful enough to handle the decoding load.

Can you analyze my report file?
I think most devices now support h264 decoding. I know for sure my Fire Stick 4k supports 264 and 265 decoding by hardware, and it starts playback fine....but then after a while it jumps from HW to HW+ to SW, saying not supported.
I'm very happy to see that MX Player now streams 1080p HEVC 10-bit MKV flawlessly to my Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1 2016! I have literally tried to get it to work for years. HW+ option did not bring better results (stutters and hickups), heck, even transcoding from my Synology Disk Station was a pain in the a. I am curious to know what you changed in the recent version 1.10.51 (I will archive it forever and keep it in my heart) or if I was just too stupid or my device was too slow.
