HW decoder Ghosting Effect - MX Player

Hi. I bought a Mini M8S II TV BOX with Amlogic S905X CPU and Mali-450 GPU. Then I installed MX Player Pro from Play Market. I tried different decoding modes .
Sound output is hdmi passthrough or spdif.
In HW+ mode sound output is stereo only. The picture is excellent.
In HW mode sound output is normally 5.1. But the picture has problem. There are ghost images from all moving objects.
Examples:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

The reason why HW+ can't do 5.1 passthrough is likely due to proprietary drivers than MX can't access. It works on HW as HW calls the system to do the decode, whereas HW+ uses MX's own logic to do so (and therefore no access to the proprietary SPDIF passthrough). As to whether it can be fixed, I'll leave to someone else to answer.

Thanks for the answer!
But what could be reason for ghost images in hw mode?

HW mode is based on the android native media player api. MX Player have very basic controls over it. In General anything on HW is basically from your ROM. It seems to be a bug on your ROM.

Kindly read my reply just above your post.
In General most of the issues with HW decoder will be from the system. Try HW+ or SW. It may work better.
Kindly share some screenshots & bug report from MX Player whenever you report an issue.

It looks like a interface layout issue rather than decoder issue.
Would you try Android 4.0 compatible mode under Settings > Player > Android 4.0 compatible mode?

[Q]Yuv\rgb16 color format problem on (some) x264 10bit files

yuv works absolutely fine on every hi10 i tried , x265 , everything with 99% stable fps
except some of the x264 10bit , it generates black artifacts on white backgrounds like this one​

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
only fix i know is to switch to rgb32 , 16 doesn't solve this
and on my xperia z3 , no roms , 4 months old it runs slow , with cores up to 4 and it sucks to keep changing the color format depending on what i'm watching​
RGB32 is the superior format in terms of picture quality. Based on how the colourspace is defined in the hi10 profile, it's expected that artefacts may occur on YUV and RGB16; I don't think that anything can be done about this...
It is true that RGB32 is more processor intensive; unfortunately nothing can be done about that.
It looks like artifacts from some HW/HW+ decoder.
Please try SW decoder if HW/HW+ was used.
It was with s/w , cant run it with h/w
I dont mean anything bad really but other video players with yuv ran good -no artifacts- with the same fps
-But they're audio was far inferior quality and loudness also the 200% boost so..-
Is this something to be fixed in future updates or by custom codecs or something?
Thanks for the replies

Hi,
It may happen due to various reasons.
Internet access is restricted to MX Player. If you are using any firewall apps or if your system has some kind of data control settings, kindly exclude MX Player.
If you have any adblocker app or patched the hosts file, there is a chance that MX Players update check URL (j2inter.com) is blocked. Kindly check whether you can ping it or not.

Ok, the problem was solved!
But why the version on the official site still stuck in the 1.9.10 while the play version has been updated to 15?

Question HDR10+ Pretty wonky?

Can't play any HDR10+ videos on my phone for some reason. It can only play HDR10+ videos recorded by the phone. When I open the "Video" app I can see a small HDR10+ icon.
However, the mediainfo says it's HDR10? And when I load any HDR10+ video it says it's HDR10 only??
The clip I downloaded was from this site.
The media info of the HDR10+ Test Video and the Video recorded from the phone. And of how it looks like in the Video app, Pic
You can see how weird it is, would love some insight
Plays good, no problem here.
S908E One UI 5.0 Soul ROM VIP10
I Downloaded the video from the link your provided and it played ok on S22 ultra Android 13 stock one UI 5.0, snapdragon model. Are you on stock Android? Are you using the stock video player? Did you install other video player that could be interfere with it?
Played fine for me.

I'm using stock android. I used the stock video player, MX Player, Just Video Player/Just Player, MPV and VLC. All of them have the same output. The Increase contrast has no difference with the output and the decrease brightness one decreases the brightness of the whole scene, nothing like what the demo pics showed. Also, I'm using the Vivid screen mode which unlocks DCI-P3 which would be great for HDR content, still getting nothing. I'm posting the photos of what I'm getting and what I expected to get over here.
What I expected :

Question Does it have support for aptX HD audio?

Hello,
In google specification sheet it's not specified, and in gsmarena specification sheet it's missing (although 7 and 7 PRO has it)
Gsmarena comparision of 7a / 7 / 7 PRO
Could someone who has the 7a check if it has aptX HD audo support?
To check it: Settings -> System -> Developer options -> click on Bluetooth Audio Codec to see all available codecs.
Thank You in advance.

Thank You for checking!
If I am not mistaken you must have a compatible Bluetooth device connected for it to be available. I know the options do not light up on my phone until then but I do not have aptx hd headphones to answer this question myself.

Can confirm aptX and aptX HD are available in GrapheneOS once compatible headphones are connected, surely they are available in stock as well.
For some reason AAC is not available though (on GrapheneOS at least), despite my headphones (SoundMAGIC P23BT) supporting it and it being available on other devices.
My aac lights up and works on my headphones on paranoid.

I see, thanks. Probably just not on GrapheneOS then for the time being. I use aptX anyway, so no problem there.
Thank You all for responses.
I did buy the pixel 7a and can confirm now too that it has BT HD support and it works fine
Tested with Fiio BTR3 (using stock Android 13 and 14 beta)
