What video player are you using. Try VLC that thing will play anything.

Install the codec pack that comes with Kies, or use a community maintained codec pack like CCCP (Combined community codec pack).
I have CCCP installed and videos play without any difficulty in WMP, VLC and MPC

what codec does the skyrocket natively record in?

Here is what MPC (Media player classic) says about a quick vid I just shot. (Using a rogers sgh-i727r, your experience may vary)

[Bug] Odd / poor network streaming behavior.

I've been a fan of MX Player as it plays anything I ask. I purchased the pro version some time ago. Unfortunately, network streaming has taken a turn for the worse as of late on all my devices. I've done the usual stuff like uninstalling & reinstalling, clearing app data, wiping the android cache's ect but nothing seemed to help. Almost all my usage is network streaming so this is causing me some frustration.
I ran some tests and found that when playing the same test file from either my DLNA Server or SMB Share, MX Player would pull a constant 40-60 Mbps while other media players (VLC, VideoPlayer, VLC on PC) would only pull 40Mbps bursts of data every 8-10 seconds. I'm wondering if this could be causing the stuttering playback & very long seek times I'm experiencing with with MX Player. I can let MX Player sit there and try to play for 5 minutes and it will pull enough data to have downloaded the test file several times. MX Player does play the test file wonderfully from my SD card.
I've attached graphs of the network traffic, each represent a 120 second portion of time beginning with the start of playback. I see the same results with a Nexus 10 running Android 4.2.2, HTC M8 running 4.4.2, and HTC One X (Evita) running 4.1.1.

I really like the variety of file types that MX Player can play but if it can't play them smoothly over the network it isn't of much use to me.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

What are you using for DLNA? If you're using something like BubbleUPNP, I would expect that app and it's server software to be able to give MX a complete stream without problems. SMB share lag is a known issue of MX player, as highlighted in my list of bugs and feature requests sticky thread.

Interesting; @bleu8888 could you take a look please?

Does it happen on all decoders? HW decoder typically uses more traffic if software audio or embedded subtitle is used.

HW+ and SW decoders were the only ones available with the test file I used. The bandwidth consumption was the same on both.

I will check it out.

[Resolved] Low sampling rate compatibility issue on Android 4.4.2

I have a number of old Canon camera MJpeg movies. MX Player plays them flawlessly on my Defy (cm7 android 2.3.7) and on Sony lt22i (stock android 4.1.2) but on my HTC One (M7 stock android 4.4.2) they have no sound and the sound track cannot be selected. The sound tracks are recorded in 11024hz 8-bit PCM. I tried software decoding but it didn't work either.
I have a MJpeg movie sample file here.

Edit:
I have checked your file. I can reproduce the issue. In HW mode It can play audio. But, not getting any video since it's not nativity supported. But, In SW mode video playback is smooth. But, unable to select the audio track. That's why audio is not played. Otherwise ffmpeg can play the same. I have checked with the other ffmpeg based players & it's working fine.

You must have mistaken it with another movie file. My sample file is a mjpeg movie with pcm 8-bit 11024hz audio. Yes the sampling rate is the strange 11024.
If I convert its audio part to aac 11025hz, it plays well.

It seems that the issue appears only with kitkat. I have tried in my ACE with 2.3.6. There is no problem at all. But, It appears in S5 with 4.4.2. Something is broken.
I have attached the logcat collected using adb.
@bleu8888
Can you look at this issue

Hi,
This may be fixed on latest beta version.
I just setup Google play beta testing feature.
Please visit following link to become a beta tester and try beta version.

Question, could this be related to the HTC One issue we identified more than a year ago?
EDIT: have a direct link to the beta page? Usually, you have to link to a Google+ community page or something if you want people to join the beta.

Actually I abandoned using Google play beta app with MX Player 1.x, instead uploaded apk directly.
This feature will be used from MX 2.0 beta testing because of caveats found while testing beta app feature.

Could you provide the mediainfo of a sample video? Also, if you could record a short sample video to show the problem, that would be great. I get the feeling it has to do with the metadata orientation flags.

> Rotation : 270°
This is the issue. For whatever reason, the stock camera app (Samsung's app?) has over-rotated the video... you might want to check your camera app settings.

ha ha well somewhere in the csc? or am i gonna have to take the apk apart?

Unfortunately, I don't know much in the way of camera apps. The only thing I can tell you is that the 270° is what's causing both MPC-HC and MX Player to rotate it vertical but upside down.
In terms of why the stock player seems to be fine, that's probably because it never properly interpreted rotation past 90° in the first place.
In terms of why MX HW/HW+ works, that's because HW and HW+ use the hardware's stock logic, which is the same as what the stock video player would use.

so honestly i looked it up no real fix other then crop save with no changes, thanks anyways.
what you think of mpc hc for pc?
i like mx player over most other players cause of codec support, and can load custom codecs for android,
while i like the k-lite codecs (MPC-HC) package for windows.
and cccp for linux(no longer really into)

Dunno what "crop save" means, but you can change rotation flag (without reencoding the video) this way: http://stackoverflow.com/a/15336581/4358088

MPC-HC doesn't support rotation flag, that's why video is displayed as it is (and it's "sideways" since width is greater than height).

wat.
I've checked portrait recoding with my phone:
1) rotation is 90
2) MX in S/W mode doesn't rotate video (means it's "sideways")
So are you sure that on your phone MX actually rotates video in a "wrong" way rather than display it as it is?
P.s. you have 5 posts know, you should be able to post any links.

after testing, yea, rotate tags screw with S/W but not h/W or h/w+
your forums requires 10 to post links so no i can not yet
also Rotate Has no effect on MPC-HC, while mx player it does
now if i tilt my phone to left side rotate is corrected during that recording, so i will just tilt my phone to record in feature, easy enough fix
and then my mpc hc plays the tilted records right. so now it will have no rotate tags, now if i hold my phone upright, and record, the rotate flags come in. witch is correct i guess. changing the rotate degrees only messes up the rotate in stock player and H/W H/W+ same effects while the S/W and MPC-HC remains tilted as was never changed, the MPC-HC does not look for rotate Flags. and the reason i am saying this, is that i created 5 same videos 1 being 0 degrees other being 90 other being 180 other being 270 last being 360
mpc-hc wont change angle on any of them

HW video acceleration is broken on Pixel 3a with Android 9

Hi,
I've noticed that the HW video acceleration is broken on Pixel 3a.
Most of my recordings are in 1080i (interlaced) and the Pixel 3a can't play the Videos with hardware-acceleration, unlike all other Snapdragon devices.
Steps to reproduce the problem:
Download the test-video to your Pixel 3a and start the video-playback with hardware-acceleration (HW/HW+ decoder)
(for example with VLC or MX Player)
What happened:
Showing only green pixel mud.
What you think the correct behavior should be:
Should show a clear video-picture.
Link to the Google Issue Tracker and Test File :
Code:
https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/140328649
It would be nice if someone could test the Video and verify the issue
best regards

Update: the same issue exist on Android 10 Build QP1A.190711.020
What happened:
The device is showing only green pixel mud and becomes unstable.
Device becomes also unstable if you store the video-file locally and you just open the gallery ( e.g in whatsapp etc )
btw. the file is just a recording of a european satellite television channel
Is nobody here who can confirm the problem?

I get the same issue with your video file on the Pixel 3a.
Are you sure the video file is OK?

Yes i'm sure, i have the issue with all channels in 1080i, recordings or live streaming makes no difference.

Well, .ts files are usually MPEG-2, which is a really CPU friendly codec and HW decoding is not really needed. I believe most modern CPUs don't even have HW decoders for MPEG-2 anymore.

Ok, my bad. Hope you get a response on the bugtracker.

I got the same results with original TS file. The playback was green and blocky. I trans-coded the TS file to MP4 all while keeping the video's original resolution, and it played fine. I used Google Photos for playback in both cases. There is a table that lists Android's supported video format here.
