I'm currently using non rooted galaxy s duos. my devices is unable to play hd videos.whenever I try to play a hd file via mx player it is unable to use h/w+ decoder while h/w+ decoder works fine while playing non hd content. so what is preventing it from playing hd files? is it Samsung or the hardware specifications.will rooting the device help in hd playback? please help as I have seen devices with lower hardware specifications that are able to play hd videos like xperia neo v.
waiting for some good answers.

no i'm trying to play a 720p video.
looking at the specs of your phone it must allow at least 720p playback. have you tried other video players like vlc or dice player?

i tried most of the apps bt none of them has helped.my friend's hcl u1 tablet also doesn't support hd playback by default but when i tried playing a 1080p movie in mx player by enabling h/w+ decoder it played flawlessly so i'm wondering why i'm unable to select h/w+ decoder in my galaxy s duos while playing specifically hd videos only otherwise h/w+ decoder works fine fr non hd content.
if you want you can root and use scripts like thunderbolt to boost your phone's performance.
h/w+ codec doesn't work for all videos. so its no use thinking about it.

In gallary of galaxy s duos it should run 720p video of avi and mp4 smootly but the other for the format we need to install player
But u have installed the mx player it should had detected video format to run smooth
Try different player like Bsplayer or go to setting of Mx player and switch to s/w decoder for all the video It should work

i have tried every thing but nothing is helping me out...
it works
changing the decoder from hardware to software in mx player did work! Really!
1080p runs like a charm, at naturally smooth frame rate.
answer is simple, graphics hardware in s dous is not capable of handling the video on its own and with full hardware acceleration. point of shame, though, ace 2 can even record camera at 1080p. on the other hand, processor is good enough.
my guess is, class of sd card also matters. there may be other apps using the card and for mx player, it only gives a fraction of the full read speed which makes the frame rate look bad.
I used class 10 scan disk, 16 gigs and s/w encoder in mx player, it runs as smooth as the screen can bear. not as robust as my galaxy s2 does. but it goes to the better screen quality, instead..
Hi, Recently I've downloaded video 1080p from youtube but when playing it, the video laggy but the audio just playing properly fine...
I thought it because the decoder set to H/W, but when switched to S/W both video & audio become laggy, then try switched to H/W+ it become worse (doesn't support this kind video it says...).
When I see media info of video, it use VP9 format video.
Here is the video: www[dot]youtube[dot]com/watch?v=aE2GCa-_nyU
I've tried on 3 devices; Asus Zenfone 6, Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1, and LG G2, all of it have the same issues...
And tried on PC to check if the video has errors or something, but the video is playing perfectly fine.
Is it something like bugs so the video didn't play properly? Or android can't play video with format VP9 properly?
Because I've tried other video 1080p, it can be played properly.
Oh FYI, I've tried using few other video player, and none of its can play the video as good as MX Player. That's why I've been using MX Player as default video player.
Hope there will be improvement on the next update so the video VP9 1080p can be played properly
MX Player is the best
All 1080p videos are not same.
It may lag at various parameters like higher frame rate, bitrate, color depth,....etc.
For example if you consider a video 1080p @ 30fps inorder to display 1 sec of videos it needs to decode 30 frames. Where as in 1080p @ 60 fps it requires 60 frames to be decoded. So, It will require the double power. Like wise various encoding parameters matters in video playback.
Second, H/W uses your hardware's native decoder . If the codec is natively supported by your device, H/W decoder will be the best option.
In case of S/W decoder, it supports more video formats since it depends on the ffmpeg. But, decoding will be completely done one CPU. So, it needs very high cpu power. That's why it's more laggy.

VP9 isn't a widely supported format. That's likely why HW and HW+ don't work well with it; most devices don't have VP9 hardware acceleration.
SW rendering of a 1080p video is very demanding. Even on the most powerful devices, since there's no hardware acceleration, expect performance to be sub-par. Currently, devices on the market can only SW render 720p smoothly.
This being said, for SW mode, try Settings > Decoder > use speedup tricks. See if that helps a little bit on SW.
Ultimately, the best option is to reencode the video to something like H264/AVC mp4.
VP9 on KitKat+

Can you explain more where you're trying to playback the video? VP9 support is built in to Android from KitKat+ and should not have an issue playing back. Additionally, can you try playing back the video on Chrome on Android and see if there are still decode issues?
Thanks.

I see... So the point is the problem because most devices don't have VP9 hardware accelaration yet, especially for 1080p VP9...
Well... I've tried using SW speed up trick, it didn't much help...
Yeah...maybe the best option is to reencode the video to H264...or download 720p version..., cause the 720p VP9 can be played perfectly fine.
Still... I hope the MX Player developer team has plan to improve playback for 1080p VP9 video
Btw thanks for your answer bro

As I said before, I'm trying to play 1080p VP9 video (that I've downloaded from youtube using IDM on computer) on my Asus Zenfone 6, Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1, & LG G2 using MX Player.
But when I playing it, the video is laggy on all devices...
Surely you can streaming it using youtube app & chrome android and it plays well till the end cause the available quality option in those apps is up to 720p (the 1080p quality option is hidden on those apps so I can't select it to test if it plays well or not).

That would be something you would have to ask the ffmpeg team to do, since MX uses their codecs. Unless the MX dev has a magic trick up his sleeve, I don't think there's much else MX can do to further improve SW playback performance for a video that exceeds the CPU's capabilities...
Likewise, on a hardware acceleration, it's limited by the hardwaree put in place by the manufacturer... so this aspect would need a new device.
Hi, i bumping this thread because i encountered the issue on some youtube vids too, but it's mostly playing fine, i think that with a few updates it will be good my phone is getting hot fast though.. (oneplus one)
VP9 1440p https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNNfZuIA1GQ : fine
VP9 1080p with a lot of "motion" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGyZY4HNumw a bit laggy
I think I have already answered.
Read the second post. Video encoding parameters matters.
If you can't play in H/W or H/W+ decoder, Don't expect the smooth playback on S/W. It fully depends on CPU. If is laggy then your processor is not powerful enough. Sometime enabling the speed up tricks may reduce the lagging.
One more thing, using CPU will drain your battery faster than H/W. When CPU runs it's maximum speed for long time it will emit more heat which may lead to issues.

The chance of that happening, I can't see to be high. The MPEG consortium probably pays a lot to lobby chipset makers to only support MPEG formats, such as H.264 and H.265.

Lolno, it's just that industry is not interested in VP9. Even if they don't have to pay royalties they still have to develop asics (and h/w engineers are saying that it's not h/w friendly) and include them into the chip. It still costs a lot.
And what is the point of supporting vp9? It's an ugly google toy that they're ready to abandon (say hello to vp10 in 2015).
Ah yes, ASICs. I don't think manufacturers would be very happy at making more dies for new ICs. They already aren't happy with being forced to support Hi10p in H.265.
Forced? I would be happy if they were forced, but, at least Qualcomm, have no plans whatsoever

Well, this sucks. Looks like we'll be waiting another generation... Where did you find that support chart?
Edit: We should move this discussion to the 10-bit thread. I'm going to quote you over there. http://forum.xda-developers.com/app...layer-10-bit-video-discussion-t2725241/page12
abput supporting vp9 1080p and undeleting files in mx player p higher andrpid version
first of all:
"Most probably you’re on Android marshmallow 6.0 API. If you’re trying to delete a video that is located on the external storage then its not possible due to some bug in the file system and mx player.
If you’re on the internal storage then MX player has only read only rights on the directory on which you’re currently on."
or just delete on your internal system file manager application.
Second answer about playng videos vp9
becayse you can't play vp9 if you download youtube videos with IDM (internet download manager)
because it is bull**** and its newer versions used idmmkvlib.01 codec.so when downloadimg it not only download andit convert into ist bull**** special format.so won't play withx pr others.try another downloader or manual download yt videos i recomend.
I own Samsung Note 4 with Snapdragon 805 Soc that supports HEVC or H.265 video with hardware decode upto 4K resolution I. Each 3840X2160
but if we are trying to play a HEVC HD video with HW mode it can only play Audio not video. With SW mode it can play HEVC HD video but when playing HEVC 4K video it's not able to play on HW mode but when playing on SW mode the video is playing with extreme lag.
Kindly fix it as Snapdragon 805 SOC is capable to play HEVC upto 4K without any issues.
Kindly Assist.

If it's supported natively it can be played with stock player.
Have you tried in stock player?
If it can be played by Stock Player, it suppose to be played in HW decoder of mx player.
If stock player can play, kindly collect the log after playing in HW decoder & attach here.
Regarding SW decoder, Your CPU is powerful enough to play HEVC HD video. But, it will obviously lag since it needs enormous CPU power to decode HEVC 4K videos.
HEVC HD and 4K on S805 SOC HW Decode Not Working on Note 4
Hello ktsamy,
No the stock player present in Note 4 LTE model is not able to play either HEVC / H.265 files natively in stock player only audio that can be played from those videos. Only HEVC HD contents AUDIO can be played in stock player (no video) and HEVC HD content can only be played on SW mode in MXPlayer almost 95% lag free and HEVC 4K is playing in SW mode only but it lags every Milli second.
Gionee S 5.5 is able to play HEVC HD on HW mode is mxplayer but Snapdragon 805 SOC is not, its such a shame. But I don;t think its a CPU fault as per my understanding. It is related to Samsung Media SDK they used and it looks MX player can also be altered with the MX team so that they can leverage the real potential of Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 SOC 2.7 Ghz Quad Core .
You can see below lines :
"4K playback with H.264 (AVC) and H.265 (HEVC) formats
4K capture with H.264 (AVC) format
Hollywood Quality Video™ technology (in HW) for post-processing DASH supported"
Check the above mentioned lines:

If you look at the media_codecs.xml, all HEVC related entries are marked as comments ( Will starts with <!-- and ends with --> )
so, Samsung has disabled HEVC decoders (May be a licensing issue).
That's why MX Player (even Stock Player) can't decode natively. So, You have to use S/W decoder in order to play HEVC and Playback may not be smooth at higher resolutions since it needs extreme power to decode.

I have also escalated the issue to Samsung India Support Team. They have asked me to send everything via email and with details.and bill copy of Note 4.
If its a feature of CPU it should be enabled by Samsung in Note 4.
Please also confirm if S805 SOC is capable of decoding HEVC 4K with HW mode ?
I also own Ginonee Elife s 5.5. mobile and it can play HD HEVC file with HW mode in mxplayer but not in HW+ mode and also it is not abale to play HEVC 4K video file.

There is no way to enable it until or unless Samsung includes the decoders.
According to the Specification Snapdragon 805 SoC supports HEVC 4K decoding.
But, I think even if chipset has the support, Samsung must obtain license to include the decoders.
That could be the possible reason.
Regarding the Gionee s5.5 HW+ issue,
can you play the video in HW+ when it fails, it will automatically switch over to S/W.
Now close the video & Goto Help >> Bug Report.

mx player plays hevc files
Anyone wants to plays hevc video file on mx player . First rename the video files (there will be two video files the other one will be like '0') with an .mkv or .avi format whichever the file belongs to in your file manager then the mx player will be able to play hevc videos.

Yes, it's completely depends on device.
If the device natively supports HEVC, you can play HEVC in HW decoder. Else, SW decoder is the only option. But, it needs very powerful processor.

It depends upon the quality of the video.
Just try yourself. If SW is laggy, your processor is not powerful enough to play that video.

Any Device, with CyanogenOS 12.1 / CyanogenMod 12.1 Can play smoothly in HW for 720p hevc/x265 8bit (10bit, not sure) @ 25fps.
With the same codec & resolution above 25fps, You need a device Display of 720p Resolution (Must).

Deblocking feature would be great for that. We can disable deblocking for highly compressed videos to achieve a better decoding.

You are completely wrong...!
Eventhough rom configuration also plays a vital role in multimedia performance, it's mainly depends on the processor. If I am not wrong to implement HW acceleration for HEVC the chipset must support HEVC.
In device with unsupported chipset can't be HW accelerated even when you use Cyanogen(Mod/OS) 12.1.

Hi i have wonderings, concerning HEVC on phones.
I can play my H265 videos on my phones enough smoothly (i used to have a Honor 6, and now it's a Oneplus X) - tryed VLC or MX Player Pro (+AC3&DTS Codec).
Yet i can't move inside any video. if i try to, the video always restart from the beginning. It's really annoying to me.
Concerning the HiSilicon processor, i thought there was some incompatibility, but with the OPX's SD801, everything should be fine, shouldn't it ?
Thanks in advance for your help

SW or HW decoder? Also, sounds like your video may have container wrapping issues, if you cannot seek.
OnePlus One should have more than enough power.
I've tried sw,hw, and hw+.
The behavior keeps the same.
As i mostly watch downloaded mangas, i've tried different ones, from different groups, but always impossible to seek inside a video...
What i understand from you is that it is not normal, and not a known issue... Crap!

@ktsamy, I Just Forgot That.
Thanks Mate.
@CDB-Man do you think it is something you can reproduce/investigate? (in OPX we have SD801 version aa i think...)
i truly believe that very few people use H265 for now, so such problem may keep marginal.
i haven't mentioned that i have tried every video reader i found on google play, all behave the same.
Or maybe does it come from the manufacturer's implementation/drivers in its rom ? (what about SD801 with samsung's S5 phone?)
I haven't encountered any seek issues specific to HEVC; what I have seen before are videos not in a proper MKV or other container, and therefore you cannot seek it.
A raw .hevc video stream file, you may not be able to seek.
(Yes, I know i already asked about this in the Asus Zenfone 3 subforum.)
The title says it all. Basically MX Player plays HEVC encoded videos on this phone using software decoding, even though this device has hardware decoding support for that codec. Can anyone explain it to me why?
I will attach a bug report as soon as I figure out how add attachments.

Hi,
It depends. Not all HEVC files are same. For example your device may only support HEVC main profile upto 1080P @ 30fps.
In such cases, you can't play any HEVC 4K file or an HEVC file encoded with the Main10 profile or a video HEVC video with 60fps (in HW+, it may lag).
If you can't upload the logs here, you can share the link after uploading to anywhere else (like Google Drive, Dropbox, etc.,).
If you have issues with links as well, then just mask it ( Like replace http with h**p)
Thanks for the reply!

There is no log about the playback. Maybe some other app is generating too many logs.
Kindly Increase the log buffer size on developer options on your system & collect the log again immediately after attempting to play in HW & HW+.
Never mind, I've figured it out. The problem was that the videos I tried to play were encoded at level 4, while my phone only supports hardware decoding up to level 3.1.
Again, thanks for your help.
