When I want to play a 576p (16:10 anamorphic) PAL file, I get these blocks on my device.
i.imgur.com/zFFauHW.jpg
Sound is fine. If I switch to S/W it hiccups but without the blocks. I can't use the H/W decoder because it's on my NAS. When I download this file onto my device, it plays fine in H/W mode, in VLC and in my stock player. I have multiple files like this, but all have blocks. PC plays it fine. I don't get these blocks when I try to play files with an 572p anamorphic PAL setting. I've tried tweaking my Handbrake settings, but I get these blocks every time, only in MX.
I'm using the latest MX Player and custom codec on a Samsung Galaxy Tab GT-P1000 with Android 2.3.6

Would you share one of your videos?
Thanks
The original files are about 800-1000 MB, so here is a 50,7 MB (68 seconds) sample. Same problem happens

Are you using stock ROM? I've tested your video in my Galaxy S which has Hummingbird platform and running Android 2.3.6 just like yours.
But cannot reproduce this issue. I will try again if I have a chance to try Galaxy Tab. For the meantime, please use HW decoder instead.
BTW, custom codec may not compatible with test version (beta version). Does it happen even with default codec?
Thanks.

The original ROM when I bought it had Android 2.2, but I updated it via Samsung Kies to 2.3.6. With the original ROM, H/W+ videos were impossible to play.
I have no idea what you mean with beta version, but I've tried it with and without the custom codec. Same result, even when removing the one(s) downloaded from the Play store

I've tried a few, but the blocks still appear.
About a year ago I had a similar video that displayed that problem but I didn't think to report it at the time. Also a PAL anamorphic widescreen video

So, there's no blocking with HW mode when the files is stored on device?
Also curious, does HW+ work or does it block?
bleu, think it might be to do with the 25.000 fps? This is just a guess on my part.

There is no blocking in HW mode. I cant test it when not stored on my device because HW only works with mp4
H/W+ only blocks with these videos on my NAS, external sd and internal storage
I have other 25 fps videos that play just fine, same handbrake settings
After encoding all my files, I found one file that didn't block like the others. It uses the same handbrake settings except for a extra 2 pixel crop on the right side (36 instead of 34)
Also I noticed something missing that does occur in every blocking file: the Original display aspect ratio is missing in this one. Might that be the reason of the blocking?

It is hard to resolve without device.
I will try to get one.

I would give you mine if my device wasn't so hard to replace,
Thanks for the time you're spending just for one problem,
I am using HTC E8 and as snapdragon 801 supports HEVC playback on HW decoder, it is perfectly playable for mp4 videos. However, if the same video is encoded into a MKV format with all the encoding settings the same what so ever or just remuxed into a MKV, mx player just says HW decoder is not supported, forced to use the sluggish SW decoder. Below are the media info for the videos to refer:
This the mp4 version, which is playable through the HW decoder smoothly.

Welcome to the club, many thread about this bug but no response so far
@CHEchenyu @lieuliau
H/W decoder basically uses android mediaplayer to play the video. If there is any problem in H/W, it might be from the system itself.
How did you converted the video to mkv?
If you have re encoded with same parameters, kindly try to remux the mp4 video with "mkvtoolnix" instead of re encoding.
If you still have issues, kindly collect the logs immediately after playing the video & upload here.

Same problem as above, using MeGui to encode it to HEVC mkv.
I just remuxed the same encoded file to mp4, now it works on HW decoder. Weird.
During long videos that I watch, over the network from a device hosting the tablet's network connection, MX player will randomly go to the next video in the directory without warning in the middle of the video.
The Device is the Nexus 7 2013 edition, going by codename flo. I have it running Stock AOSP 6.0.1 with SuperSU root installed. I have had this issue with both the 1.7.39 build and 1.8.3 build.
As with my last report, I will include the information of the media file I used. However, I had the same issue with a mp4-contained 8 bit video with aac.

Problem:
Any media file that has HE-AAC or HE-AAC/LC audio codec loads for more than 30 seconds before playing without audio. The volume is on proper range (that is 12). You cannot forward the video when this happen. If you gesture your to forward, time to forward appears but after you stop sliding the frame will go back to your last frame before gesturing.
Conclusion:
Any video with HE-AAC or so codec fails to play. HE-AACv2 plays smoothly, AAC/LC and other AAC Family codec plays nice. Only HE-AAC won't play. Already tried everything I could but nothing works. Even if I use other type of Cellphone/Tablet, GPU, CPU, or different android OS version, it's still the same Hoping you'll kindly fix this problem. Thank you.
