My device is a Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 using Lollipop 5.02
I use MX Player Pro for decoding RTP-Streams from the ip-tv platform t-Entertain in Germany. These RTP-Streams uses MPEG-4 AVC/MEG-4 part 10 Codec.
I also own a NAS containing all my videos. Streaming videos from NAS using HW+ Decoder to MX Player works fine. But videos from RTP-Streams to MX-Player
do not! The reason is: MPEG-4 AVC/MPEG-4 part 10 have to decode in software mode on my device! But both streams (Nas-Videos and RTP-Streams) come from network.
There is no option in MX Player to set NAS-Streams to HW+ and RTP-Streams to SW! A workaround will be to set both to SW. But this is not state of the art!
So please give MX Player an option, to set "network streams" separate to SW or HW+ mode.
Best regards to the developers and to the Forum

We will try adding option for selecting decoder based on network protocol.

I need to work with my nas
Tnx
Is it working by now with the individual streams from http://iptv.blog/artikel/multicastadressliste/ ?
Or does MX Player even handle one of the playlists (more akin to DVB bouquets actually) provided there (FKA http://grinch.itg-em.de/entertain/downloads/playlist.php?ETV&xspf etc.).
I have a number of videos with the following properties. Their video frame rate is 30 at 720p with codec of H.264 part 10, using Lavf57.27.100 to encode. The audio is AAC at 48kHz..
I played these videos on different number of android devices using MX Player with HW decoding. The video is delayed by a second or two. But with HW+. things seem ok.
I played these same videos on the same android devices using BS Player. The video and the audio are perfectly in sync.
How come? Please help.
BS uses a implementation similar to HW+ as default. So, you will get the result like HW+.
In HW decoder, MX Player uses the mediaplayer implementation from android itself. MX Player's control on it is very limited.
If HW+ works fine, you may just use it. From 1.9.0 HW+ will be enabled by default for all users with android 5.0+. But, HW will be the default one as usual.
hello,
I might buy the Galaxy S8 Plus ( Snapdragon Model ) soon but need to make sure it can play an h.264 10-bit video using hardware decoding.
name of the video: [1080p][16_REF_L5.1][FLAC_5.1]Suzumiya Haruhi no Shou****su BD OP.mkv
this is a link for the sample video:

I really appreciate the help, thank you.
I tried them on my Verizon 8+ and get "unsupported video codec" using the default video player.
I have not tried d/l VLC or an alternative to see if that works, it may.
could you please check using mx player h/w+ or h/w
MX Player hw+ doesn't seem to have a problem with any of the sample video decoding, got a complaint about unsupported audio (AC3) on one of the files though.
thank you for your help, I just purchased the phone ( G955U ) and it isn't working on hw+, is there a Rom or kernel you are using?
I'm using bone-stock as provided by Verizon, with all current system updates.
Videos d/l to local SD card and played off that from within MX Player. I noticed some traffic where spawning video playback via file explorer may not work in some cases so I opened the file directly in MX.
The MX Player I used was the free edition, freshly installed.
I have since bought MX Player Pro, and of course it works on my device.
System performance settings are at the default, no tweaking so far (phone is 4 days old).
Good luck, sorry I don't have more help to offer, still new with the device.
thanks for all your help, I really appreciate it.
If you haven't installed their codec pack, get it. I think it will fix your problems: MX Player Codec (ARMv7 NEON)
hello, tried it and didnt work, it does run 4k hevc 10-bit using hw but cant run h.264 10-bit unless I use sw (works well but fast battery drain).
thank you
Runs smooth and without problems or lags with the mx Player pro with the sw decoder. The hw decoder doesn't Work.
i use hw+
along with a custom codec for ac3
Yep custom MX codec canm be found here on XDA forum - use search.
It's up to 1.9.0... Anything older will get an "update codec" message....
I tried but no luck, it works on sw only, what is your phone's model?
mine is G955U Sprint Unlocked. all other codecs work ( even hevc 10-bit 4k ) but h.264 10-bit is only working on sw.
How do you setup the custom codec for AC3 (I recognize I'm being lazy by just asking...but I have a headache...)?
For C0derbear
Put on root directory of phoner or sd card and start MX player. Go to settings, and select "custom codec at bottom of list in decoder settings. Select codec with browser it opens.
That's if it doesn't detect the custom codec and ask to use it.
It will restart to apply codec...
Hello all,
I am trying to make my new Philips TV play 4k HEVC videos but am having no luck with smooth playback.
MX Player seems to do the best job but stalls eventually. HW+ decoder kicks in to do the playback.
Short version of TV specs:
SoC Mediatek MT5596A
CPU ARM Cortex-A53
GPU ARM Mali-T860 MP2
Android 6
I collected MX player logs while the video was choppy and can send if required.
Can anyone tell me if my device is supported or am I wasting time on MX Player ?
Thanks

What about HW decoder?
HW & HW+ decoder basically uses system decoders which are built into the firmware.
If HW decoder doesn't work and HW+ lags, probably your system decoders couldn't decode the video at that particular encoding profile. Can you share the logs here? We may have to look at the logs in order to understand the issue better.

Hello and thanks,
The thing is that built-in TV video player does not work with x265 videos. I have tried VLC which performs terribly. I guess it uses SW decocoding and can't even play 1080p smoothly with x265 encoding.
Archos is really slick and works well with 1080p x265 but lags on 4K. The speed of 4K playback with Archos is the same as for MX Player with HW decoder. Only HW+ will play smoothly but it eventually stalls to a point of 1 frame per seconds as if some error is encountered (always at the same point in movie). Any attempt to rewind will kill 4K playback smoothness and menu operations often result in MX Player crashing.
Here is my report file
*h*t*t*p*s://1drv.ms/u/s!Av9g--Caxs7ogzkI5M_WUWgfOp3D
Hi there, I was understanding how the MX Player handle the Decoding settings for various types of Video Formats.
I figured out that on default settings all videos are played by HW DECODER And if it fails then SW OR HW+ DECODER is used.
Android Media Framework supports H.265 VIDEO IN ONLY MPEG-4 CONTAINER as
https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/media/media-formats.html
So when I play H.265 Video in MKV CONTAINER It is still played via HW Decoder in MX Player.
How??

Thanks for sharing your findings with us.
In most of the modern Android devices, android media framework can handle HEVC videos streams on Matroska container natively. It seems that this documentation is not updated to modern android versions or it is applicable only to nexus and pixel devices.
Oh.
Ok.
Thanks for solving the query.
