[Q] video quality/compression

Hi,
I am trying to play HD MP4 videos on the transformer suing mxplayer. I have noticed that as the video plays the textures become slightly blocky until the screen refreshes every few seconds. I tried Dice Player as well and a similar thing happens. This doesn't happen when I watch the same video on VLC on my PC. I was wondering if there was anything that could be done about this.
Thanks

Guevor's kernel has some accelerated drivers and the new Nvidia codecs which all made my tf watch videos extremely well, you could give that a shot.

I use MX Player with MX Player Codec (ARMv7), according to the description, it provides optimization for Tegra 2.

The app itself wouldn't be the issue, it would be the kernel/decoding under the app itself.
See the system as a several layer cake, with the app on a higher layer than the kernel, so no matter what the app can't fix it. If that makes any sense.

Thanks for the suggestion, and your last explanation makes sense.
I think I have gotten used to the way the videos are displayed - it's stopped bothering me. What has started is Gmail and Chrome instability... Oh, Asus...

[Bug Report] [SOLVED] App crashes when subtitles are enabled

[Bug Report] App crashes when subtitles are enabled
ASUS MeMo Pad FHD 10 (WiFi), Android 4.3, MX Player (pro) 1.7.35, also tested with 1.7.36 (beta) version.
Each time I play a video with subtitles enabled, MX Player crashes after 1-3 minutes of playing. I've tried it on different videos (codecs, 720p and 1080p, 8bit and 10bit), using HW and SW encoders. Results are always the same: if subtitles are enabled (internal or extrenal, with or withoud hw acceleration), player crashes after a minute (or so) of playing a video.
I haven't used it for nearly a month, so I don't know for sure when this weird behaviour has begun.
Here are three reports on google drive: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B8SONyEPcSqvWW9fX3FjRWJ5MVU&usp=sharing
The last of them has been generated after video suddenly closed with no warning or error generated.
If you need any additional details that could help, or if I can perform some extra tests, I'm eager to help.

Since there's a lack of spacing in that post, in case anyone missed it, the error logs were given here: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B8SONyEPcSqvWW9fX3FjRWJ5MVU&usp=sharing

Partial solution:
Enable Android 4.0 compatibility mode. It works with .srt subtitles. Subtitles in .ass files still crash the player.
(NOTE: I don't have the MeMo Pad anymore, I've returned it to the store, so I leave the thread. Good luck with the bug.)

Would you try test version? https://sites.google.com/site/mxvpen/translation/test-build
Please don't forget install x86 codec together.
This issue might be fixed.

No video / black screen on philips android TV

Hi,
I just bought a Philips 32PFS6402 Android TV (version QM164E.).16.102.24).
Unfortunately the default video player, didn't have the possibility to adjust the subtitles, so I had to look for alternatives. Your MX player was highly recommended and the features I was looking for seems to be in place (remember where you stopped a video stored on USB and continue from that point on the next time. And adjust the timing of the subtitles while playing the video.)
so far so good. But unfortunately, not all video's are shown correctly. For some video's I only see a black screen. There is audio and ther are subtitles, but the screen stays black.
The codec info for the specific file:
MPEG-4 Video (XVID)
1920*800
Strange thing is, I can play the same movie using the default player.
Any suggestions?
thanks in advance,
Matthijs

First of all, thanks for your reaction. How do I collect a bug report? I didn't see any options for that.
For you info. I tried Kodi today as well and experienced the same problems. No video image, while there is sound and there are subtitles. I find it to be very strange, since the same movie does play in the default player (no idea which one that is).
Today the movie I tested yesterday on MX Player, resulted in some kind of freeze. no response what so ever.
thanks,
Matthijs

Based on the information you have shared, it seems that your device's hardware-accelerated decoders are buggy or broken. Request you to tap on the HW button on the playback screen and check other decoders. It may work for you.

Question MX Player Pro full screen

Hi everyone,
When I watch a video using MX Player Pro, the screen stops before the notch and nothing I do will bring it over it.
Youtube is able to go over so it seems it's a software issue, has anyone been able to solve it?
Thanks!

I commented on a similar question in another thread....
Play full-screen video?
Hello. I just saw that apps like Prime Video or HBO Max, do not play the videos in full screen leaving the area where the camera is with a large black margin. On the contrary, YouTube or Netflix do occupy the entire screen. Do you know if there...
forum.xda-developers.com

I also bought mxplayer pro but i switched to vlc waiting developers to correct their mistake

if your phone is rooted you can use Aspo Mods and turn off ignore the camera cutout and all videos etc now have full screen
