Recently I tried playing a video in my phone that had been on here for awhile and now I get ac3 not supported then got the codec and theres audio but it sounds corrupt and staticy. Anyone else haveing similar issue or know of a fix
Here's some info
Moto z force Android 7
Latest MX player

If you have installed custom codec it should work properly. If you are getting poor audio quality the issue might be with audio itself.

Ok, I've been struggling with this and doing all sorts of research, but I can't seem to piece together a definitive answer. This is what I know (or think I know anyhow)
1) H264 will play just fine from more or less any video player as long as you have the decode mode set right. this seems to be why so many people swear to their particular player (and I've tried so many, moboplayer, dice, etc etc.)
2) H364 is just pure crap because Tegra2 just can't handle it. Something with proprietary codecs or some such.
Now, experimenting with different HD files over the time I've owned my TF, some play and some don't. I've heard others claim otherwise. If anybody can guarantee they can play ANY , really ANY HD mkv file (H364 without re-encoding included) I'd like to know what ROM/app you're using (and I'm sure a lot of others would too). I'm sick of having to pick out/convert my movies all the time.
I'd really like to put this thing to rest.
I hear ya I dont want to re-encode my library either but becuase I cant stand not knowing I have been doing some testing to see what the problem is with not being able to play all files. I have discovered that that the Transformer does not like 5.1 channel AAC audio. I can encode any video to MP4 and it plays great when I set the audio to stereo but when I try with 5.1 AAC MP4 files it no worky. 5.1 AC3 seems to be ok. I too have tried many players from the market and get different results with each one using the 5.1 setting (such as stuttering or lagging or I think it was BS player would only play the rear channel audio) but setting my encoding output to stereo they all play fine. I was on the Google Android Developers site and it stated stereo only was supported for honeycomb so maybe the ICS upgrade will fix this issue? In the meantime I plan on continuing testing different bit rates and audio settings to try and get to the bottom of this. Sorry in advance if this did not help you.
MX player- plays anything i throw at it. make sure you get the Arm7 codec pack too.

I like very much the MX player and it is true it plays mkr videos fine but I do not have sound... I have the ARMv7 codec pack (only this one) do you get sound?
Instead, to play and hear mkv I use DicePlayer Ad. with Dice player plugin for tegra2.

Use software for audio (but hw for video)

The problem with this is that most players out there only let you use one decoding mode for both video AND audio. what player lets you do what you're saying?

Mx video with the codec pack as said previously.
I'll be sure to try it once I get home.
MX player will play the movies just fine but the issue is with the audio. The Transformer has a problem playing audio encoded with 5.1 & 6.1.

It worked great! thanks a lot!!
I am experiencing A2DP lag of about half a second on all ICS roms that I have tried. Anyone else have issues with bluetooth stereo lag?
edit: A2DP works fine in stock Honeycomb.
yes, I also experience this lag on Team EOS nightly #45 (umts_everest) when playing videos using mx video player. The lag in music isn't really noticable (since there is no visualisation) and I haven't tried anything else (as my A2DP-Device is my car stereo and I usually don't do fancy stuff while driving...)
Yes, I believe there are some audio issues to resolve. The a2dp is likely tied to the new wifi driver, simply put. But I think there are larger audio issues yet to be addressed.
Bluetooth Lag Solved !
I had a same problem and I was playing with it for a week . I think I figured it out . Here goes . To play PERFECTLY synchronized Audio video on BLUETOOTH , your video has to be converted in such manner that no extra codec is needed to watch it . Meaning your original video player has to recognize it with original HARDWARE ENCODING . When you Convert video it has to be COMPATIBLE with xoom NOT .AVI and MP3 . It has to be h264 mp4 video and AAC audio . ( That's the one that works perfectly ). You can convert it to other formats and play it with other players with they own codecs and Software decoders but Bluetooth will be out of synch .
What's the best option for playing MKV DTS movies on the TF300? All the new players won't do DTS audio, but I hear that older versions of some software, like Dice will. But, I'm not sure that the older versions will support/use the Tegra 3.
Thanks in advance.
Found solution, but shuttering: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34649108&postcount=16

Says it does multi-core decoding. I'd like know how well it plays your mkv files.
MX Player with h/w+ decoding plays mine just fine. I use DSP Manager for all my Audio.
Thx, but VLC doesn't play MKV DTS videos.

So you have no shuttering issues even with 1080p KMV DTS videos?
The shuttering is probably network related as I'm streaming it over WiFi, especially large files.
There's also XBMC for Android, I haven't tried it yet, but going to now: http://xbmc.org/download/
XBMC for Android works but isn't great at playing MKV files, really slow, shuttering.

Have you found a reliable option mate? I tried MX, Dice, VLC and all have problems with DTS. There is an option to use external filters in MX, but its unreliable. I tried several files, with bitrates from 2-3k to 20+k. MX with HW+ encoding plays smoothly, but no sound.
I think I tried SopCast player and it might have played DTS, don't really remember, maybe you can give it a try.
I'm using Galaxy Nexus. If you've found a solution, don't hesitate to PM me.
I have a 3.25gb 1080p mkv and I have problem playing using mx player pro.
I have tried to switch to different mode - HW, HW+ or SW, video is fine but I got no sound at all.
If I use a different player like BS Player it works perfectly.
Note: I'm using Nexus 5 w/4.4.2 kitkat + Mx player pro 1.7.28 Armv7 Neon

Can you post the mediainfo of the file?
If it has dts audio track then you have to use custom codec.
thanks, it's dts.
I have downloaded the custom codec and now it's fine.
However, may I ask why this codec didn't include in mx player in the first place?
Also the one from the google play doesn't work. I had to use this:

The detailed answer is in the first post of the custom codec thread...!!!
In short DTS people is not ready to negotiate with SW players. So, to avoid copyright issues it's dropped from the official version.
Trying to play my videos with my new Honor 8 using BS Player and some of them don't have sound (missing AC3 codec?) video plays very slow too (seems to be like 5 fps).
I Assume the stock ROM doesn't include the necessary codecs?
NOTE: These same videos played just fine out-of-the-box in my old Note 3.
Any suggestions? Is there anything I did wrong?

Try a factory reset
Are these MP4 files? I haven't tried BS Player on my H8 yet, but I haven't run into any issues with VLC yet.

For AC3 support you need MX Player with Custom Codec that has AC3 included. Google it and download the ARM v7 neon version.
I suppose the fps is low because you're trying to play H.265 videos which aren't supported by most Mali GPU hence they are software rendered and will continue to play like this. There is no solution for it.
