Hello,
at home I wanted to show my family a movie made with my new Sony a6000 (NEX-6 like) camera.
I copied the movie on to the micro-sd of my lg gpad 8.3 (running cm11) and started to play the video file using mx player. The video started just fine, but right after about 2 seconds the viedeo stopped and just the audio continues.
Jumping to any other time gives me the same result.
Even after recoding the video the playback had problems, too.
I use hardware decoding:
I filmed in:
50fps (Europe)
1920x1080
AVCHD (Sony)
recoded into: .mp4 (H265 @ 3000bits)
Maybe you guys could find a solution.
Here is a link to a short (22MB) video file that has the same problem:

@cybercrash
I have faced some frame freeze very rarely on HW mode. In HW+ decoder I have noticed some frame distortion on the beginning of the playback. I think it's because of Higher frame rate.
Have you tried on SW mode?
SW decoder uses mxplayer's internal ffmpeg library. It's works fine for me without any problem.

Hello,
thanks for your feedback.
I've just tried without HW+ and it works...kind of.
The video is played all the way, but at a much lower framerate. The video seems to stutter.
Which device you are using?
SW decoder uses CPU to decode. It need more power to run. When it's not enough the frame will fall behind audio. To avoid audio video sync frame will be dropped.

I use the LG Gpad 8.3 with the CyanogenMod 11 Android 4.4.4
Snapdragon 600 CPU
Qualcomm Adreno 320 GPU
2GB of RAM
To me this seems powerful enough, or am I wrong?

It depends upon the hardware.
I have tried the same video on my another device with 1 GB ram & MTK 6589 @ 1.2 GHz quad core. In HW decoder mode video plays well. But, in SW decoder I can see the effect like low frame rate. In HW mode it uses native hardware decoders. That's why it's play well. In SW decoder CPU will be used for decoding. MT6589 @ 1.2GHz Quad core is not enough to decode. That's why it's fall behinds.
Where as In my first test S5 has exynos 5 octa core processor, which has more power & working well.
If you still have any problem kindly run mx log collector after playback & post the logs here. So, the developer can look at your problem.
Can you tell me how I can save this log?

I tested your video on my Nexus 5. It suffers lags with sw decoder but not with hw+ decoder.
Are you sure there is lags even with hw+ decoder?
If so, check following settings;
1) Turn off subtitle in the subtitle selection window. (Click speech balloon button on the right upper side of the screen)
2) Turn off software audio in the audio track selection windows.

Did all that. Still stuck video.
My problem is lag during SW decoder and a video stop (paused) video while audio is still going.
HW decoder gives me an error message:"This video can not decoded using HW...". Then it switches back to HW+ and after 0,5-1sec the video stops/lags again.
Same problem with VLC.
I guess 50fps is too much.
I just tried that sample with a snapdragon 400 SoC (xperia m2) and for me it plays fine with h/w+. No stuttering/hang, no a/v desync. S/w mode is stuttering though.

This looks like CPU computing power limit. Which means CPU is not fast enough to play this video.
Typically 1080p 50fps video is too heavy to decode with SW decoder in current mobile CPUs.

Your video is 1080p mpeg4/h264. Most of the modern device can natively play 1080p @50fps. So, I think your device can play the video in HW mode. There might be a problem with your custom rom.
Can you post the log?
It will be helpful to identify the problem.
(You can easily collect the log either by Menu> Help > Report bug or by running the seperate mx log collecter app after playing the file. As of now there is no way to save it. When it asks save the log in your mail. Then you can easily download & attach here)

What I was meaning to say is that if my snapdragon 400 can play it with h/w+ (plus downscaling it to my 960 x 540 resolution), then @cybercrash's snapdragon 600 should be easily able to play it back at the native 1920x1200 resolution. I prefer to use the h/w+ decoder anyway, so I'm not worried about my CPU not being strong enough to decode it in s/w mode.

Thanks for all your help and suggestions.
I've got the solution. It was a fault in the cm11 version.
After updating today to the latest nightly the video plays smoothly using HW+. No framerat dropping or stuck video.
I was just about to go back to the original LG firmware.
Right after it worked just fine a mxplayer update came out and after installing it the video hangs again.

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

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.
Hi. I recently upgraded to v. 1.7.33. Unfortunately, video playback is no longer smooth using hw+. In fact, now I cannot tell the difference between sw, hw and hw+ playback.
I have hardware acceleration on. I have installed the custom codec and the mx player codec from the android store.
My phone is a Nexus 5 running Lollipop.
In previous versions the hw+ playback was extremely smooth, and there was a real difference between it and sw. Now they are the same. The playback occasionally stutters and some sort of interlacing lines often appear.

There are lot of video lagging issues reported around the world. It's not limited to MX Player. Many others also facing.
Many people has reported that even it can't play videos smoothly with H/W decoder. There are some occasional stuttering. H/W decoder uses android native mediaplayer interface to play the video. If any problem on H/W decoder, mostly it will be from the rom. So, my conclusion is tgat it looks android 5.0 itself has issues.
There was a similar report earlier. But, developer can't reproduce it in his nexus 5. If he can reproduce the issue, then there is a chance to find a workaround.
Can you share the link of any video that has issue?
I was watching 'Only Fools and Horses', season 6, episode 5, 'sickness and wealth'. I downloaded it from here:

Hello
I recently updated MX Player Pro to 1.8.10 and was also prompted to update the custom codec to 1.8.6 . Not the best decision i ever made as now MKV is virtually unplayable and choppy .
If i open the same files in XBMC on my MINIX Neo U1 everything plays smoothly including large MKV .
I hope this can be fixed . And as its my first post , i'd like to say hello to all of you and to thank you in advance .

Basically HW & HW+ will be very smooth if it's supported by your device. SW uses CPU instead of GPU. So, it will be laggy if the processor is not powerful enough.

I personally prefer HW+.
Enable HW+ from Decoder Settings. If you are on Lollipop (5.0) or newer android version, enable Alternative HW+ as well. Most of the time, HW+ works better than anyother decoder.

Thanks both for the tips .
The only problem I sometimes have on my Minix Neo U1 is that when a video plays , unless I choose sw decoder at the top of the video screen I will occasionally get the audio playing very echoed unless sw decoder is used .
The videos play smooth with HW + but audio isn't played right .
Bh ghe wqy , The Minix is a great player and can handle files 8gb plus and also 4k easily.
So not sure why the audio likes sw decoder !
Anything i can try ?
Thanks again .

If it's so, just enable SW audio in decoder settings. It will enable SW for all videos.

Hi.
Recently bought H96 Max TV-Box and installed MX Player Pro on it.
But player can't play HEVC H265 videos in HW mode.
When trying to switch to HW mode it says it is not supported.
HW+ option is greyed out(not available) at all.
Currently using SW method but video playback is very bad with this method and it is impossible to watch with this method.
TV-Box based on RK3399 processor that claims full H265 hardware decoding support and I know it does because built in players can handle this file without problem with smooth playback.
How can I get smooth hardware decoding in player at this device?
hi, I'm going to receive this TV Box as well,
have you solved this problem? I'm a bit afraid of that...

Hi,
Actually, the issue is that system decoders in your device do not report that they can support HEVC 10bit profiles. So, MX Player does not try the hardware accelerated playbacks as several devices are known to crash when force decoding 10bit HEVC & H.264.
Based on some feedbacks from the users like you, we have decided to make this logic as optional. From 1.9.19, even if the device doesn't explicitly report it's capabilities, MX Player will list the HEVC 10bit & H264 10bit on HW+ Video Codecs list on Settings > Decoder. It can be enabled with a warning. Once you enable the HEVC 10bit or H.264 10bit, it will be tried in both HW & HW+.
We have already started rolling out the new version in stages. If you haven't received yet, you can manually grab the apk from our wesite & try yourself. Kindly leave a feedback after testing the same in your device.

Just tried 1.9.19 and it works Thanks for implementing this. Will wait it to appear in Google Play Store for Pro version that I have purchased.
