I have the same problem. I guess i is a change in the way of ripping the audio or more exactly the codecs they are using lately, At first it happened in just a few of videos, but week after week they are doing that way in much more that a few movies or tv shows. The worst news is that although the people works and share the codec file did not solve that issue and now either they use other codec to workk with the audios when thry rip the video or have found a different way and it caused us defness. And do not take it wrong, the people that works in the codec we use are doing a hellova work, but the reapers run fast. My advise, download X Video or Playit, wih tthose players you can cue the deafness until a new updated codec arrves to MX.

Hi,
I've been using trial version of Dice Player and I'm almost ready to purchase the full version. However, I just noticed 3 other players that might worth considering:
- MX Player
- PowerDVD Mobile
- VLC (free)
- Seaman Player
I'd like to take comments from people who are using these. Which one should I go for ?
I personally use Dice Player. Plays everything smoothly.
MX Player: good alternative for free, but doesn't play some 720p MKVs with crisp frames.
VLC: Very early stage, not daily-use.
Rest... I haven't tried them.

I can't make up my mind what I like best, Dice Player or MX Video Player so I paid for both apps. The developers of each seem to be going head to head on what they can and cannot do. Both do HW playback which is what I like most about them. You wont be disappointed with Dice Player the least bit. They both seem to be the two best video players to date for Android.
thanks for your comments.
is there any experience with PowerDVD ?
that's a nice app on Windows. So why not the Android version...

Well for one thing, PowerDVD Mobile is $20 and Dice Player and MX player are just over $5 and can play just about every video file type. So you weigh the odds. With Tegra 2 video is barely starting to break free of it's constraints so I wouldn't want to pay out the nose for a video player that might or might not play back my videos. IDK, that's just how I feel about it.
If you do wind up getting PowerDVD let us know how well it plays HW and SW video playback with multiple file types. I was reading and I didn't find if it will play .mkv files or not.
Personally, I would normally talk up Diceplayer, but after the last couple of updates, we've taken about 5 steps backwards. Whatever happened, it's gotten worse than it was before. I'm not sure what that's due to, but 720P videos no longer play as smoothly as they once did. Videos that used to play fine are now choppy and have bad audio. And these are the same videos, the only change is what version the player is running. I'd actually go back a few versions if I had made a backup of some kind.
Either way, I don't generally recommend Diceplayer anymore. I used to talk it up and down because it WAS a very good player, but things have certainly changed alot apparently.

Yep very true. I have had the exact same findings. I've been talking to the developer and just sent him a 720p mkv today that used to work and now doesn't. He's testing it on his transformer to see if he can find the issue.
Power DVD is too expensive. Mobo is so far the best
Hopefully DICE player can fix it's recent bugs (he has been issuing updates like crazy anyway).
MX has mich better gui, but dice player still has much better playback. There is noticeable difference in frame drops between the two (dice being much, much better, even though both use hardware decoding).
i use vplayer and it does all videos and even allows streaming
Dice Player with tegra addon . Nothing to me is smoother.

Hi,
I've tried PowerDVD mobile.
It has a very elegant GUI and nice features.
It serves music and photos in addition to videos and it also includes a DLNA player.
However, videos are not as smooth as MX Player or Dice Player.
Probably it does not support as much codecs.
bs player
i just found BS player for android its in beta right now but it works great
I wish I could get DICE player to work. Everytime I open it, it says "Sorry, this video cannot be played." I haven't even picked a video yet!
Having endless issues trying to play 720p mkv videos I have dice player, mobo player, and mx video player. When the video is smooth i get no sound and when sound works the video gets choppy during action/ fast scenes... any advice?

I can't seem to get HW decoding to work with MX player. Is anyone using any custom kernels .. overclocking?
MX Video for me
i started with Mobo since the stock player only reads internal files. but i wanted full screen with no icons on the bottom. i tried dice trial and liked it so i bought the full version than i saw mx video and bought it too. i like both, but dice player on lets me choose (ie: /Removable/MicroSD don't even try microsd).
whereas mx video lets me add several locations that i can browse too and i get full screen. i haven't had any problems with any video incls so far.
i just wish i could connect a protable dvd player.
i also like the easy way it handles subtitles and .vob
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.

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.

Pretty damn annoying - DICE can no longer play most of my videos for the last couple months. Ever since I upgraded to ICS (tried 4 different roms, no change). It used to play MKV's with hardware accelleration and decode the audio in software. No problem when you're overclocked to 1.7
Installed the new nvidia codecs, still no change. Any ideas?
You might want to try the new version of dice player there are 2 apps one is labeled (old) now so maybe try the new one and download the tegra 2 plugin

which firmware are you running?
MX Player removed DTS playback a couple of months ago due to licensing issues.
Maybe if you found a old release of the app you can play your videos again

Thanks for the work around. It works but a bit buggy. Each time you want to switch movies you have to uncheck and recheck the external codec. Also movies do not forward in dice player properly.
BSplayer still decodes DTS audio.

You can try with the VLC beta on the Playstore. As far as I remember, it has DTS support and it's smooth (at least on my Galaxy S3).
I'm having trouble with the libffmpeg.so plug in.
The DTS files would cause the player to kick back out when libffmpeg.so plugin was enabled. Without it enabled, it'd just say that the video file can't be played.
I had to download Diceplayer 2.0.6 with the Tegra Plug-in in order to get the DTS movies to work.
Is anyone able to get libffmpeg.so working on their Transformer TF101 ?
I'm back on my 2 year old Galaxy S for a few months while I wait on a Galaxy Note II. I wanted to point out that while this thread offers a solution, I was still not able to find the best solution for a slower phone.
Dice Player (latest). Obviously doesn't work.
Dice Player with external plugin, is forced to do software decoding. Very choppy on a Galaxy S.
(stock) Video Player. Sound doesn't work.
BS Player (software decode), works, but very slow framerate.
BS Player (hardware decode), buggy. Screen blanks out every second or so. Too annoying to watch a video.
VLC Player (software) too choppy
VLC Player (hardware) video and sound is good (won't load subtitles)
I felt like Mario looking for Princess Toadstool.
So I've been on this quest. Finally found a working solution. Dice Player 1.8.2. Old version. Works perfectly without any tweaks.

I laready fixed it, found this player that actually does what it is supposed to do, Dice player. It did the job.

Mine too apart from some AC3/5.1 codecs is cannot play the audio, I at least get a picture on everything I have thrown at it. Your video must be an obscure codec of some sort.

It would be interesting to know which codecs are used.
Maybe the OP could find out and post? I use MediaInfo on pc to see details but Potplayer play everything anyway on pc.
I wonder if mxplayer will work with it?
BS Player (free) is also a good program to use for .mkv files as it has more audio codecs then some other players.

It plays every .mkv player alright BUT it cannot play 10bit hd mkv videos and other players play it with some stuttering. The best you can get is BSPlayer but it also cannot play it as smoothly as it does 8bit videos. I, personally, convert my anime to 8bit beforehand.
I use MX Player and it plays everything I threw at it even 10bit MKV 1080p stuff. Though 10bit files stutter. I have to use the software renderer in mxplayer because for some reason the HW one will work with 8bit files, but only show a black screen with 10bit. The HW+ renderer doesn't work very well at all on 10.1 so I just stick with software rendering for everything. My favorite feature about mxplayer is that the embedded fonts in the subs and their positions is preserved so it's like watching on my PC using mplayerhc. I haven't tried any other players yet because I don't think I need to at the moment. The only thing it doesn't play are MKVs with DTS tracks. Licensing issues made them remove it .
If the HW renderer would work on 10bit files I'd buy the adfree version in a heartbeat.
+1 MX Player
it works fine on many videos playing.
Hopefully someone can help me with this error I can't find a solution anywhere. I'm using xbmc on my transformer and it's set to use MX player to play most of the video on it. My only issue is that for all youtube videos mx Player keeps giving me "can't play this video" all other types of videos work fine. Is there a fix that I can apply that will allow mx player to play youtube streams? If not, is there a way I can set in the playercorefactory.xml to use the internal DVDplayer for only youtube streams and mx player for everything else? Is anyone else experiencing the same issue with MX player and youtube streams? Any help would be appreciated

I couldn't view any You Tube videos, so I sideloaded flash onto my transformer. This wasn't too successful, so then I downloaded the new YouTube app which is working fine.
As for your xbmc problem - I don't have the app, just know it is a multi media center/player.

Sorry, no. I was able to see video in the YouTube app whereas before I couldn't get any video to play in any browser. I know I had to sideload flash onto my TF101 - so whether it helped may also be a factor.
alright, so i find myself in same boat. Only thing is, I cant play Dailymotion videos which gives me same error using xbmc+mx player combo. have you found any solution?, I tried BS Player, Dice Player and making sure they were the external players by changing playercorefactory.xml file. but still no luck. I also tried switching decoder under mxplayer and all other players to only use hw decoder or sw decoder, but no luck.
