If 90% of my time on my tablet is spend watching anime
They are 10 or 8bit mkv videos with subtitles
I don't want to have problems with them like before.
With H/W Decoder, I experience problems with weird problems with the display like a bunch of different colored pixels and it bothers me...
When I tried S/W Decoder, the pixel problem stopped, but then the audio and video would get out of sync or stop and skip frames...
idk what to do to fix this.
So i tried recording my screen on the nexus 5 using adb...everything worked and set bitrate to 8000000, however, the playback on the phone and my pc is a bit laggy :-/ any help?
EDIT: only playback on the device, and playback via VLC on my laptop produces this lag...used another player and it worked fine... sorry for making this thread...
Has anyone else seen an issue with 4k video being played back rotated as if it were recorded in portrait (and yes it was recorded properly)? See attached screenshot.
This playback occurs in all players I have tried except VLC. Playing back in VLC isn't always an option so I'd like to get this fixed without having to go to 4k editing software for every clip that has this issue.
I have see this issue on about 20% of the videos I have shot in 4k. The details of the files look like they have the correct width and height, just like the other files that playback fine.
Any ideas?
Device Manufacturer & Model: LG Nexus 5
Android Version: 5.0.2
Rom Info: CM12 02/28 Nightly, tested also on CM12 02/15 Nightly
Detailed Problem Description:
Hi. I have encountered a very specific issue with MX Player. When I am playing full HD portrait video and next video is full HD landscape, the Android video driver seems to completely crash in the event when videos switch. E.g. when portrait one ends and landscape one starts playing. Sometimes the device freezes with corrupted graphics, sometimes it recovers, but graphics are shifted and reboot is needed to resume normal operation.
I have reset the settings to default when reproducing the issue and only setting I am using is Display / Settings / Screen / Orientation : Auto rotation. I am holding the phone in portrait, so basically the first video should be full screen on my phone and the second should be scaled down a lot to fit in portrait. It happens with both HW and HW+ codecs.
I have recorded two short videos which can be used to reproduce the problem. I have also recorded the behavior on the phone using another camera (this time the phone "kind of recovered").
Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Install MX player.
2. Set Display / Settings / Screen / Orientation : Auto rotation
3. Play attached videos when holding the phone in portrait, the crash should appear when the first ends and the second starts.
See recorded video for details.
Logs from MX Player
Video 1 - portrait
Video 2 - landscape
Issue recorded using another camera to show what happens on the phone
It works in default video player and does not cause anything similar. I did not have a chance to try it on stock ROM yet. However, I have a lot of videos with different sizes and switching between them does not cause the issue. Just full HD videos.
Let me know if any more details are needed.
It happens on stock 5.1 too. Very annoying if you have mix of portrait and landscape videos recorded.

It looks like ROM issue if HW has same issue.
FYI, HW is default media player actually which is provided by the OS.

I did some more testing. It happens on all factory images I had for Nexus 5, 4.4.4, 5.0.1, 5.1. All of them exhibit the same problem. I tried also the SW decoder, but that did not tell me anything, as SW does not follow the tag for portrait orientation, so the portrait video showed up as landscape anyway.
Now the interesting part is that default player does not crash like that, when switching between the videos. But it takes longer to switch. It seems that it deletes the whole drawing surface and starts it again. Contrary, when switching videos in MX Player you can always see last frame of previous video stretch to the following video size before it starts playing.
When I play my videos using HW decoder so I get DTS and Dolby 5 pass through to my audio amplifier sometimes the video runs about 20% slow. The video pauses for about half a second every 5 seconds. The audio runs slow and frequency is shifted lower pitch .
I have an Android TV box with optical output to my amp. Model RK3188, Android ver 4.4.2
-Problem is only when I pass thorough DTS or Dolby audio.
-Software DTS Dolby codex runs the correct speed. (But I lose my surround sound.)
-Problem is intermittent. Some times (75%) MX Players starts OK and sometimes it starts into this slow mode.
-Restarting MX Player or just going from HW to SW mode sometimes (75% chance) fixes the problem.
-Problem occurs with many other players that have pass through except the “Built in Android Video Player” or “Archos” Video player.
I really like the features of MX Player . Just this bug is an nuisance.
