Hi. Why rewind works differently with a different codec. Android MX_player.
When the video is encoded with the mpeg-4 codec, the video is rewound (we swipe the screen), rewinds smoothly in frames. That is valuable, it seems to be accelerating, but every frame is visible.
When we rewind a video that is encoded with the x264 codec, the video is rewound (in jerks) in pieces of 5-10 seconds.
How can I fix the rewind on x264 so that the rewind is as smooth as on the mpeg-4 codec?
Mpeg-4 codec, smooth rewind:
x264 codec, rewind in pieces for 5 seconds:
lol I never thought of that the codec has something to do with it. Interesting
Mpeg-4 codec, smooth rewind:
x264 codec, rewind in pieces for 5 seconds:
Developers, can you tell me why such a rewind only with the mpeg-4 codec?

I am able to play this particular video file, but am not getting any audio. Is there a certain audio codec that I need to download?

It is because Galaxy S can't playback audio with 6 channels , i did not try this my self but that is what others observed.
Yes, I think it's limited to 5.1 channel audio encoded videos.
Also, that 4608kbps audio rate is awfully high.
Try using rockplayer and see if it works.
Was having a hard time w a video, wouldn't work in act1 nor the stock video player, worked great on rockplayer
Free on android market
Keep in mind Rockplayer is purely software player , it will not take advantage of phones Hardware acceleration , it will not play high resolution with good bitrate without dropping frames like crazy.
It would be better just to recode audio track.
I was just curious, because this was the same file that I had on my SD card that was in my BB Bold, which was able to play it???
Do .webm videos playback with hardware acceleration on your o3d i think they supposed to en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebM but i get video format not supported but it has thumbnail is it the codec or container .The Only Way to play them is through mx video player
Hi all, I've got a Flyer 10.1 which has been upgraded to 3.2 Honeycomb. What is the best format to convert a movie to, is it MPEG or MP4? any help would be much appreciated!
Basically you are referring to the same format since .mpeg is MPEG-1 and .mp4 is MPEG-4. These are just different versions.
I think there isn't much of difference in which one you use.
Put any format, like mikpel said over me
But for watching the movies try to use the MX player... for the PRO version, just google it
If you get some lags on the video, switch to S/W and its gonna work better but just if the video gets lagy
There is a difference as an mp4 can be in various codecs such as h264 or xvid whereas a standard mpeg video cannot.
Most common mp4 formats use xvid or h264 video codec with mp3 or aac audio.
Flyer supports mp4 in h263, h264, divx and xvid codecs with mp3 aac or wma audio.
Best for quality yet smaller filesize is h264 video with aac audio but an xvid avi mp4 with mp3 audio can be played on pretty much any thing and is similar in quality though produces slightly larger filesizes.

[Bug Report] MicroDVD subtitles don't work on MKV videos after in version >= 1.7.33
After updating to version 1.7.33 or 1.7.34 the MicroDVD subtitles on MKV videos aren't showing.
SRT subtitles wok well, MP4 videos with MicroDVD subtitles work well too.
Example video file:
Video stream:
Sub type: H.264/MPEG-4 AVC
FourCC: AVC1 (H.264/MPEG-4)
Bit planes: 12
Dimensions: 1280x720
AvgTimePerFrame: 417083
FPS: 23,98
Audio stream:
Major type: Audio
Sub type: DOLBY_AC3
Channels: 6
Audio tag: 0x2000 (Dolby AC3 / FAST Multimedia AG DVM)
Frequence: 48000 Hz
Bitrate: 1536000
Are you getting sound? Did you install any custom codec?
It depends on the device. On my TV Dongle (Rikomagic MK802IIIS8G(B) - RK3066 procerssor) I have sound but MicroDVD subtitles don't work.
On my phone (HTC One S Z520e - MSM8260A procerssor) I don't have sound in H/W mode,
must use S/W audio (custom codec v7 NEON 1.7.32) but the MicroDVD subtitles don't work either...
Does the subtitle file have the same name and is in the same folder with the video you are trying to play?
Yes, it is... I've reverted back to 1.7.32 and everything works ok. On 1.7.33 and 1.7.34 it doesn't.
I've noticed that when I jump a few minutes forward on the movie a random subtitle is shown, but it doesn't change for correct one.
One important thing. I'm streaming this videos from Windows share on my computer.
I'm doing this with ES File Explorer using Samba protocol. Nevertheless the SRT subtitles work well in this config...
Did you check settings>subtitles>enable subtitles?
Yup, it's enabled. I've tried different settings with my TV dongle. In pure S/W mode the subtitles work, they also work in H/W+ mode.
But in H/W mode the don't. I don't have custom codec but I have sound so I presume that my dongle has AC3 codec built in the firmware.

Does MX Player lists the subtitle when you start in H/W decoder?
If it's loaded it will show a symbol.
If it's not showing, do the following
Start playing in HW decoder (you won't get subtitle as per your statement), then try in H/W+ (you may get subtitle). Now close the video & immediately goto Help | Bug Report. Save the logs and upload here.
For what container formats do the MicroDVD subtitles not show? Mp4? Mkv? Both?

@devshin Would you send me subtitle file (or video file is subtitle is embedded in a video file)?
I've checked some MicroDVD subtitles file but could not find any issue.
Dear MX Player community,
This video has track #2 in AC3 format (44.1kHz, mono). When I switch to this audio track it starts lagging (voice trebles, some sounds are dropped). I have tried enabling/disabling S/W decoder (Menu→Audio→Audio track→Use SW audio decoder), but it does not help. Perhaps it is related to the fact that both audio tracks are muxed with 1/2 stretch ratio into MKV container. Nevertheless AAC track #1 is played correctly. Both tracks are known to play correctly on Media Player Classic v1.7.13.112 (LAV Splitter v0.70.2.80) on Windows 7.
Is given AC3 track playing smoothly for anybody?
I use MX Player Pro v1.9.16 with ARMv7 NEON custom codec on Samsung Galaxy S5.
The issue might be related to this thread, but I am not sure.
