Hi all ,
Has anyone tried to play 4k videos?
The videos them self play just fine but , when I check the resolution in both console and mirror mode, my tv says it 1080 .
The spec do list 4k ready.
Hi,
the latest versions of VLC are able to play with no issues 4k contents, you can get the nightly builds directly from here: http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/android-armv7/
Otherwise the new version MX Player Pro v1.7.31 supports now the K1 natively but it crash often, I tested it.
As far as I see some video are played directly smoothly with the built-in player.

it plays 4k video but does it display in 4k? i have a sieki 65 4k tv and when i connect my shield tablet to the TV it says 1080p 60hz when i press display button on my tv, this is outside of any video player. I know it can play the some samsung 4k sample clips i have but its not true 4k since it crops some of the video.
Hi,
As I've seen on gsmarena's review, this phone ONLY records 4k with h.265 codec.
Right now, this is a problem because many phones can't play h.265, google chrome (desktop and android) can't play it, and youtube, google drive and google photos can't process it. (I've tested it)
Do you know if there is a way of recording 4k with h.264?
I didn't find any problem playing my UHD 4K recordings. I transported a recording to my LG G4 as well and I could play it with all players.
Just my Samsung TV reported wrong codec.
Full HD recordings didn't have problems at all.

Any snapdragon 8xx, greater than 800, supports h265 playback. I currently have a Galaxy Note II which features an SD 800 and it can't decode h265.
And, about not having problems with 1080: Mate 9 only records with h265 on 4k. On 1080 resolution it uses h264.
But the point is... Google is not supporting h265 uploading on any of their services (photos, youtube and drive), even when youtube sometimes outputs h265. (On Drive you can upload it, but it can't make the video "streamable")
So... Is there a way to make Mate 9 record on 4K using h264 instead of h265?
My guess is using another camera. I imagine the 265 is there to keep filesize and perhaps iops down.

Since this device is getting a lot of popularity and some updates where launched, I'll bump this post up.
Any news? Has Huawei updated their camera to disable h265 on 4k?
I hope Huawei can give us an option to switch 4k codecs. I dont mind having larger sized 4k videos as long as its a format that is widely supported. One of the reviews stated that recording at 1080/60 produces larger file size than 4k. 4k shouldnt be compressed too much. Or at least give us the option not to

Yeah, VLC doesn't support it. You have to use the regular windows media player, and it will work. I'm using Windows 10 home, and the regular media player plays it. I tried all the known ways for VLC to work such as placebo and slowest in the codec info settings, and they don't work. It's a known issue with VLC to this day.
Ok thanks. I'll try.
You can also use "MPC-HC" which old name was "Media Player Classic" (it's not the old microsfot media player), there are bundles with a lot of codecs like https://www.codecguide.com/
I personally use the "Mega" variant. I love it because it suports shaders (it's gorgeous to watch 720p and 1080p reescaled to 4k and with 1 or 2 filters of "sharpen complex") and it also has a TON of options.
I've just realised this is a problem for me. I bought the phone also for video recording possibilities and low and behold my 4K won't play on YouTube, let alone upload.
This is a massive flaw IMO with this phone and I'm gonna have to look at offloading it. Shame.

I wouldn't call it a flaw though, your device is using the most advanced 4K codec. Blame Google for not adopting the greatest and latest. But I see your point, you'll have to conform to whatever YouTube supports.

Hello,
I copied the video files from my mate 9 to my pc. I can't play them even after installing klite codec for x265.
Any solution?
Hi.
I got a Tab S3 2 days ago.
I've tested with MX PLAYER all heavy HEVC HDR videos, 10 bits UHD 2160p @60fps, and of course all other formats and bitrates.
EVERYTHING WORKS GREAT. All in HW or HW+.
Even the AVC h.264 UHD 2160p @60fps "Big Buck Bunny" works perfectly and fludly in HW+ (jonathonalexander told it didn't work fluidly???).
This Tab S3 is a must!
Also tested European version of Galaxy S8 with Exynos 8895 and it's able to read excatly the same video files as Tab S3 with absolutly no jitter.
Both Tab S3 and Galaxy S8 claim to work HDR file formats and it's true.

while you're right that it "works" in HW+ mode, it appears that MX player doesn't support HDR10 playback. it's easy to test if you play the same file in stock S8 video player which has no problems with local HDR playback. in fact, i wasn't able to reproduce HDR in any available 3rd party players.

Do you mean that MX Player can't reproduce the wider color space of HDR10 video files?
Unfortunately I was not able to make many tests on Galaxy S8 because it wasn't mine. The owner has only installed MX PLAYER which was working very well and we didn't test native S8 video player.
Question: is it the same player as TAB S3? (this one's version is 7.2.81 in French TAB S3)
TFor information there's only one video that this Samsung player can't play the video but only sound track: LG_4K-View-the-Felling.mp4
This video is played by MX PLAYER without any problem.

like i said, playing the file itself is not a problem but looks like MX doesn't pick up any HDR metadata so you're not getting the proper contrast range and luminance levels in specular highlights along with wider color gamut.
edit: i looked through the thread but didn't see the answer: does MX support HDR metadata at all?
Samsung tells that S8 and Tab S3 are HDR capable, is it true or not?
On my Tab S3 I've tried HDR videos from demos UHD 3D website with native Samsung player and Mx Player, and to tell you the truth I didn't see any difference...
So which player should be able to play HDR videos with visible difference?

on S8, native video player definitely supports HDR metadata. MX has issues with some HDR files (as in, doesn't pick up the metadata).

those look great and play in HDR in both native and MX player on S8. however, i can only speak for Jazz demo since i don't own any Dolby Vision equipment and while the Dolby ones do look HDR i'm not entirely sure if they look right. not sure why would Dolby HDR be supported on S8 to begin with either.

I have asked this as you have mentioned that MX doesn't pickup meta data.
So, what's the exact issue?
can you add some snapshots?
If you can add more info, it will be better. I will forward the issue to our devs team.
I can confirm that my s8 plus exynos version can play HEVC 1080p 10bit HDR in HW and HW+ mode on mxplayer. Also played it in stock player and couldnt find any difference between both apps. Seems to be working well with HDR in both. Also played a 12bit 720p HEVC video but Mxplayer could only play it in SW mode.
Havent tried 4k yet.

i'm not sure how to submit this info to you.
video players (on Galaxy S8) behave the same way as HDR capable TVs pretty much, they boost brightness and contrast once metadata is detected. however, there's very little technical data provided regarding HDR capabilities of these mobile screens/devices. officially, Samsung only supports their own HDR10+ format which operates with dynamic metadata but there're no HDR10+ videos in the wild (i'm not entirely sure about this either) since it's new and targeted at streaming resources. most (all?) of the files out there are HDR10 (like that Jazz demo posted above) with static metadata only but the phone has no issues playing them and display proper HDR. why files marked as "Dolby Vision" "work" i have no idea either.
i tested MX player with random files and few didn't boost brightness and looked non HDR while stock player was able to reproduce HDR.
I can understand the how it will look with / without HDR.
In general the stock mediaplayers are based on mediaplayer api. So, technically MX Player's HW Decoder (not HW+) should be able to replicate the behaviour of stock one as it's based on mediaplayer api. If it doesn't work with MX's HW & works on stockplayer, we really need to check whether the issue is on our side or nit. samsung may not be using mediaplayer api or dynamically adjust the brightness values externally based on the metadata.
We do not have a S8 device to test. It will be better if you can provide some information like what are the videos (may be some links) working & what doesn't. It might be helpful to understand the issue better.

720 and 1080 10bit HDR files? no such things exist
also how do you know you're playing HDR? do you have a reference HDR capable TV? does the phone boost brightness and contrast automatically when you play them (not to be confused with Video Enhancer)?

720p wasn't HDR. 1080p was a sample of a movie in HDR(atleast the guy i got it from said so). And it looked to have high contrast/brightness. Not Sure if it was HDR or just looked like it. I dont have HDR TV.
If u got a small size sample of HDR 1080p or 4k 10bit HEVC video, please provide me a download link and i will report back to you.

For info 4k HDR 10 bits videos read on TAB S3 with MX Player or native Samsung player have very high contrast, plenty of details and vivid colors.
Mxplayer
Stock player
Played the jazz video on Both players, looked same and it looked to have more brightness then the other non-HDR videos, but not enough like the other 1080p hdr video i played before. Colors looked great too. Played in crop mode on stock and 100% on mx.
Im unable to upload all the screenshots due to my slow net.
Hello everyone,
I have a few questions regarding 4K videos. I tried playing a 4K H265 10bit video on the phone using the native Sony Video app and, although it did play, it was slow as heck. Does the phone support such videos natively (i.e. Hardware Accelarated playback)? Is it an issue of the app itself? Since almost all 4k content, with or with HDR/10bit, is in H265 are we limited to Youtube and Amazon for 4K playback? Do I have to transcode all my 4K Blu-Ray movies to H264 in order to play them? Are there any third party players (e.g. bsplayer) that can play 4k videos (and utilize the phone's 4k resolution, not just play them in 1080p). Thank you all for your time.
I downloaded a 4k test sample encoded in x265 and played it with MX player app with hardware acceleration.
Worked perfectly. Smooth as butter.

use mx player
Thanks a lot for your time. It seems that mx player does not use the phone's native 4K resolution though and displays a 1920x1080 image so there is no point in using it. My question is whether a video player app exists, besides Sony's native one, that is able to use the phone's 4K resolution, not just play 4K videos.

Kot5nik, in my opinion, changing the resolution that android runs is not the proper way to go. Since XZ Premium is a device that supports 4k/HDR i shouldn't have to resort to "adb" to watch a 4k video in another app. Plus, by doing that, battery drain increases a bit, phone dialer app does not work, app switching does not show thumbnails etc.

FartyParty, I stand corrected. You are absolutely right. I took screenshots of both MX and Sony apps and the look identical. Only one difference though. It seems that MX Player doest not utilize HDR. There is a noticeable difference in contrast. You can see the attachments if you want to.

Here is what i found from testing the device for 4K HDR videos
the device can and will play 4K H265 10bit and even HDR videos but there are things that need to be done to play perfectly
first you need to check for the containers to be mkv or mp4
second using sony app will not allow to play surround sound file like dts, ac3, AAC 5.1 or AAC 7.1
third which i think is very odd and stupid from sony is that how such a powerful device can't play mkv with AAC sound track no matter what stereo or surround.
The trick for this to use software where they can switch container without the need for converting the whole file from mkv to mp4.
Hi everyone,
I have to also agree with @Liltman and say that the MX Player does play video content in 4k however there is a very noticeable difference between the stock Sony album player and the MX player.
Sadly the Sony video player doesn't support truehd aac files so the video will play flawlessly without the sound :crying:
The MX Player on the other hand WILL play the sound but the quality of the video seems to take a small hit as it's not as vibrant as the Sony album player. This is because MX Player supports 4k but not HDR
I hope that Sony added codecs to make TrueHD sound files compatible with the Sony gallery player on Oreo but I am not very confident about that.
I would appreciate it if someone can find a way around this annoying issue. What software is @HYPER-RX referring to?
Thanks!
Try VLC guys. When I played an HDR video in VLC it tried to force my brightness to max like YouTube does. However, it had to ask for som system write permission to do it and it didnt work completely. See if VLC does a better job though I found it to be pretty good.
MX Player definitely does support HDR. You can tell because in HDR videos, if you try taking a screenshot, the screenshot will simply come out as black, whereas in SDR videos, you'll get a normal screenshot.

Hi I just tried VLC and you was spot on. I can see that it actually does support HDR however I'm still having audio issues with the sound. Especially the HEVC Atmos 7.1. Do I need to download a codec pack or something?
It's a shame because the video quality is incredible!

PGS .sup files?
3. BD or UHD movies use 23.976Hz. Will MX Player Pro support 23.976Hz? Will it auto change to this framerate?
Thank you in advance for your help and support.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to BT.2020 to BT.709 without any loss. BT.2020 is capable of handling a much wider range of colours than BT.709. So, obviously, there will be some losses.

I realize that, there will be loss in conversion BT.2020 to BT.709, but there is application for PC called madVR, which is also doing such conversion from HDR to SDR and movies with HDR looks amazing on SDR capable display, no washed out colors at all. I would be glad, if you will add such feature to your MX Player Pro.
I have not installed yet MX Player Pro on NVIDIA SHIELD, I have just ask about such feature support. So you have a big +, because Kodi doesn't support external PGS .sup files.
It also would be good, if you will add auto framerate settings. It's hard to change display settings to 23.976Hz everytime I would like to watch such videos.
I forgot to ask about support of audio bitstream of Dolby TrueHD/Dolby Atmos, DTS-HD Master Audio/DTS:X? Is it possible with MX Player Pro?
Thank you in advance for your great support.

In general, there is no need to change the frame rate until or unless you face some issues. MX Player uses the VSYNC methods suggested on the android documentation. So, rendering should be seamless in most of the conditions.

In Kodi for NVIDIA SHIELD, there is Mediacodec and Mediacodec Surface, if both of them are disabled, then HDR to SDR is perfect, no washed out colors, but the movie playback of 2160p 23.976 BT.2020 10bit is choppy, not smooth. Maybe this will be a tip for your Team.

Yes. MX Player supports the audio passthrough. It will be automatically enabled if the receiver reports it's audio capability properly.

Thank you very much, I have already tested Dolby Atmos.
As for your last statement with support of external PGS .sup files, there are some .sup files, that are not recognized. I have tested them with MPC-HC on PC and everything is OK with them, only MX Player Pro has got such problem. All of them are extracted the same way via MKVToolnix.
Sincerely
