Can we have Youtube videos with HW acceleration ?
The way I play some youtube videos with mx player, I have hardware acceleration.
What way do you use?
Oh, for me all youtube videos play in SW, and the HW mode gives me an error.
I thought MX player didnt play youtube videos with HW, so it must be my tablet that doesnt make it.
Youtube uses H.264 and VP9. H.264 can be h/w decoded on any device, and there's only few SoCs that can decode VP9 (not sure if there're even real devices with them).

Thanks for the reply, is there any way I can set youtube to use h264 only?
How are you playing youtube videos in MX player? If you're downloading there's usually choice (mp4/H.264 and webm/VP9).

do you just use the youtube url (youtube.com/watch?v=videoid)? i can't get MXP to play these links ... would be great if you can describe how you're setting it up
the only way I've been able to get MXP to load the urls is if I get the googlevideo url with signature
use tubemate ( m.tubemate.net ) to parse link and open from mx player. You can choose different quality of videos accordingly to your choise.

EDIT: I apologize, the title should have been "Best 720P MKV Video Player"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dice Player so far seems to be the top player for 720P .mkv video files. Handles them flawlessly and there's never a sync issue. The only down side is the free version is only good for a few days and if you want to keep using it you have to pay $5.
If you are looking for something free, the next alternative is Kascend Video Player. It also does a good job with 720P .mkv files just that the menu system is a bit screwy and it ignores your brightness settings and will play videos at full brightness.
Additionally, as far as just a regular .mkv player goes(non 720P), RockPlayer is really nice.
Other players as you guys listed below; MX Player, Mobo Player, QQ Player, etc... all of those are decent to but will not handle 720P properly. they'll either play and not show the video or play out-of-sync. You have to use Dice Player or Kascend Video Player for 720P.
have you tried v player? I don't usually play 720p, but for all the t.v. shows and movies I watch it works fine.

that doesn't handle 720P either.
if you don't care about 720P, but want to play .mkv, RockPlayer is very good.
if you don't care about 720P or .mkv, then Seaman Player is great.
MX Player and MoboPlayer work great with MKV...try those.

Mobo player hands down best I've seen.
tbolt ^_^_^
QQPlayer is good for mkv or pretty much anything else you throw at it.
Drunk texted from my Thunderbreaded Bolt
Just downloaded QQplayer seems to work great on GG Anime releases. I will test out some other mkv's I have thanks a bunch
sorry dudes, the thread was supposed to be for 720P .mkv playback. i edited the original post but it won't let me change the subject title.
dice use less cpu ( it uses HW video decoder ) so, you can save your battery..
and dice gives better picture quality.
I wanna use Dice I might try the trial and see how well it plays then buy it 5 bucks is alot lol
Does Dice Player uses HW decoding on divx/xvid files too?
Is there any video player for Samsung Galaxy R that can play 720p H264 videos with high profile of encoding [like any TV series release that can be found on the web]? I heard that Tegra2 is not really good with such kind of videos, but i really did not have any luck with finding any program that can play them back [they all stutter badly].
Also, if no solution can be found, can you recommend me some pc server/android client that can transcode that type of videos and stream them over the wifi?
Thanks.
DICE Player, MX Video Player. In my play very smoothly, without jamming.

I laready fixed it, found this player that actually does what it is supposed to do, Dice player. It did the job.
Strange, the default player plays all the .mkv files I've thrown at it... Not that I don't have a few extra's in reserve if something doesn't...

Mine too apart from some AC3/5.1 codecs is cannot play the audio, I at least get a picture on everything I have thrown at it. Your video must be an obscure codec of some sort.

It would be interesting to know which codecs are used.
Maybe the OP could find out and post? I use MediaInfo on pc to see details but Potplayer play everything anyway on pc.
I wonder if mxplayer will work with it?
BS Player (free) is also a good program to use for .mkv files as it has more audio codecs then some other players.

It plays every .mkv player alright BUT it cannot play 10bit hd mkv videos and other players play it with some stuttering. The best you can get is BSPlayer but it also cannot play it as smoothly as it does 8bit videos. I, personally, convert my anime to 8bit beforehand.
I use MX Player and it plays everything I threw at it even 10bit MKV 1080p stuff. Though 10bit files stutter. I have to use the software renderer in mxplayer because for some reason the HW one will work with 8bit files, but only show a black screen with 10bit. The HW+ renderer doesn't work very well at all on 10.1 so I just stick with software rendering for everything. My favorite feature about mxplayer is that the embedded fonts in the subs and their positions is preserved so it's like watching on my PC using mplayerhc. I haven't tried any other players yet because I don't think I need to at the moment. The only thing it doesn't play are MKVs with DTS tracks. Licensing issues made them remove it .
If the HW renderer would work on 10bit files I'd buy the adfree version in a heartbeat.
+1 MX Player
it works fine on many videos playing.
So MX player is great and all, and I download videos from youtube. Recently I downloaded one that MX player cannot really play using HW or HW+ and I'd like to find out why. Interestingly, the program I use to download videos from youtube (on PC) lists all the formats the video exists in, and there are two "1080p60" versions of different sizes. After opening them up with a program called MediaInfo, they seem to use different codecs/formats. One is AVC, the other is VP9.
When I said "MX player cannot really play" I mean "one video will show the first frame, audio will play normally, frames do not advance" (the AVC one). The VP9 one plays like a slide show with a frame updating every couple seconds, occasionally playing 2-3 frames at a time.
So yeah if anyone with more know-how could take a look at the video files in question, that'd be great. Here's the youtube video in question if you have your own way to download videos: SfjYhQ0dfCk
I WAS going to post dropbox links to 1) the two versions of the same video and 2) HTML files of the MediaInfo output and 3) The URL of the youtube video, but the forum is touchy about that apparently. Thank christ it doesn't complain about youtube video IDs.
H/W & H/W+ decoder uses android's internal decoder.
Looks like you device doesn't natively support playback @60fps.
S/W may play. But, it may be laggy if the processor is not powerful enough.
Ah okay. I thought it would at least play it very choppily but the video does not play at all. If I seek a few frames will play but then it will freeze again.
I'm also an idiot and forgot to mention that this is on a Galaxy S4. quad-core 1.8.

Would you share download link of both videos? Your link 'SfjYhQ0dfCk' is actually not a link.
There are many reasons why video not playing properly or not supporting HW acceleration.
Sometimes bug or limitation of device's media framework, sometimes bug of MX Player, sometimes corruption of video file, and so forth.
Is it possible to play youtube videos by streaming using mx player?
Using kodi with the youtube plugin and configuring MX as an external player, the youtube videos cn be launched directly in MX. But I´d like to do this with only the MX app, without needing kodi
Can this be done???
Thanks
Yes. I'd also like to play YT videos in mxplayer. Are you going to add this feature?

Unfortunately, MX Player doesn't playback of the webpages with embedded videos. However, we will explore the possibilities and make it possible in future if found viable. Meanwhile, stay with us and show your continued support to MX.
