MoboPlayer updated with Tegra 2 support

I haven't tried it yet but a new version of MoboPlayer is available with added Tegra 2 support:
http://moboplayer.com/moboplayer_en.html

yup, works great. Gotta get the codec (but you have no choice, when you open the app it tells you you need it and gives you market link, so you can't miss it!)

This has quickly become my video player of choice; however I'm honestly amazed that it doesn't play *.divx files like VLC does.

Is there any better playback for MKV?

Hmm I just re-downloaded Moboplayer with the codec it recommended from the market and now sound isn't working on anything...

I haven' tried a MKV yet but I will in a few, the market download gave me the same issue with no sound so I uninstalled everything and did a manual codec install from within mobo ... working perfect now

just tried with a downloaded MKV of a TV show...
Video played, but no audio. VIdeo was a little jerky...

the problem of your file is the high profile, tegra 2 doesn't support high profil that's all

I think this is an Android limitation rather than a Tegra 2 issue. Either way its hit and miss for me. One enccoder works flawlessly at 4500 while anything encoded by handbrake at that bit rate is choppy.

I thinking the "base only" profile was an h.264 limit...
and got a little confused by the CODEC ID: V_MPEG4/ISO/AVC thinking it was MP4, not x264 inside...
Funny the video plays fine, but the audio doesn't.
The ones I've run through Handbrake to turn into MP4's play a little smoother, at least on the Xoom's screen... HDMI out to my TV is still a little jerky

Can someone mirror the codec file please? I can't seem to hit their site.

As well as the Moboplayer.apk please. I have a serious issue where any file from the market will download and as it comes to install MyApps FC's and the app just won't install. Don't know what else to do, I've cleared data and caches from Market and MyApps, but still no joy.

I also have this problem when playing h.264 MKV files. However, there is a work around.
Within Mobo Setting, there is an option called "Default using soft-decoding" under Playback section.
The video will have audio playback, but it might be jerky or there is lag between video and audio depend on video file.

Glad I stumped into the Moto forum. The player works good with my Iconia A500 with RMVB files.!

I'd guess the audio doesn't play because it doesn't support hardware AC3 (DD) decoding?

This works for me, but I don't really understand why it's necessary. I have an mkv file with mpga audio and it plays the video just fine, but no audio. Isn't there a way to play the audio without taking the performance hit?

Yeh the lack of hardware audio decode is a real shame, means we have to switch to soft decode to get audio, hopefully there is something the mobo player team can do about it, maybe we should try get in contact with them?

Just to clarify, this does _not_ use Tegra hardware acceleration, its just optimized for the ARM core (Like using an SSE optimised binary on a PC)
The _only_ way we will get usable 720p+ h.264 (main profile) and/or use an MKV container is if the _platform_ gets updated with support for the MKV container and Nvidia update their OMXs for the platform.
No app will improve of the default playback

[Q] MKV playback on optimus 2x freezing

Hey forum!
As of recently the standard video player on android can play .mkv format and I have been using it a lot. But suddenly yesterday when I was playing an episode of "Death Note" it froze on 5 minutes.
What happened is:
-the video and audio froze
-the trackbar kept "playing" the seconds as they continued
-if I dragged the pointer to another position in the video, even the trackbar got stuck
-then after waiting it would say: "Active Video Helper is not responding"
*force close*
-it would return to the list of videos
-there I wouldn't be able to do anything as well
-giving me the same message and a force close option again.
*force close*
-the image where the video froze just flashed in the background out of nowhere (althoug it was already gone)
-then returned to home screen, which also froze and required it to be closed and started again.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The way i got "around" this issue:
-reboot phone
-open video again, it would work fine and freeze on another part of the video
(had to reboot multiple times for some videos and not at all in others - it seems to occur randomly)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now I'm asking you, has anyone had similar problems to this?
And can someone tell me if this is sw or hw related?
Or is it just possible my SD card copied some bits of the videos in the wrong place (giving faulty .mkv files?)
small edit, the specs:
stock ROM, latest update for unbranded devices: LGP990-V10c

Had the same problem with some MKV files. You should just download another version of the video or convert it

Thanks, gonna try it right away.

I've tried only 1 mkv file at the moment.. though the video and subtitle are running fine, the audio is really bad (scratches n hisses)
I actually have quite a library of mkvs but haven't got the time to test the others
I'll update when I've tested the video player with other mkvs

I guess it depends, I have played Far Cry movie with srt subtitles, it ran smooth and fine (even sound) and I played Rambo 1 with srt (kept hogging the video, got blurry). so I removed the subtitles and it ran smooth again.

Got really bad sound with some other player, think it was MoboPlayer. With stock player it ran nice and smooth, but tried only one mkv 720p movie with ac3 5.1 sound and subtitles.
With microHDMI-HDMI cable sound goes to TV (stereo downmix) with unexpectedly good picture quality. Unfortunately my AV receiver doesn't have HDMI so I don't know will the phone give real ac3 stream out.
Latest 622 stock.

Tried other videos yesterday, played another mkv full length movie just fine.
Only the episodes of Death Note I have seem to have the "random freeze" to them.
Any idea what's causing this?
Bad download? (they play fine on pc)
Or something with the MKV decoder on the phone?

Well that isn't phones fault, it's just badly compressed or damaged file.
Download again, or try some mkv fixing/scanning tools. Like this one: http://www.fanhow.com/knowhow:Fix_MKV_Video_Files_27725469

Problems with playback of "mkv" files are caused by the encoding profiles used when encoding the video inside the mkv file.
mkv are just a container - usually containing a video and an audio track
the container itself doesnt make any difference regarding the playback, but the way the video track inside was encoded does make a difference.
the video inside are often compressed using so called h264/mpeg-4 compression format, when encoding this there are several different encoding options which are organised into something called profiles and levels.
read more about these here
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H.264/MPEG-4_AVC
The nvidia tegra chip in our mobiles only support up to a certain profile level, namely up to profile level called baseline L4.0 - so any video that is encoded with options that result in a higher profile level will have problems with playback on the phone.
use the software "media info" to check what kind of video and audio track are inside your mkv file and at which encoding settings they were encoded
http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net/en
If a video is encoded with settings not supported by the tegra chip, then your only option is to either reencode the video using supported settings, or try another version.
Stuttering, skipping, break ups in video with colored macroblocks, slowmotion playback etc. are all signs of a video compressed with non supported settings. Not an error of the phone.

make sure the profile if you want to play mkv on the phone, because many mkvs have high [email protected](it's only for pc) and you have to downgrade to baseline [email protected] / baseline @4.0
and make sure to see the video bitrate don't get too high
also the audio has to downgrade from dts 6.1 to stereo 2.0(but make sure to test first because it can be wrong )

Death note video:

is it that Format profile [email protected] ### I should be watching for?
although obviously 3.1 vs 5.1 should explain why.

Yes, the profile "High" is not supported, neither at level 3.1 or higher (allthough with the latest firmware some [email protected] videos may play of other encoding settings are relaxed)
some of the encoding settings here causing the videos to be profile [email protected] or [email protected] - are these:
Format settings, CABAC : Yes
Format settings, ReFrames : 5 frames
The baseline profile do not allow the use of CABAC encoding, and only 1 ReFrame - in these cases video are compressed using both CABAC and 5-6 ReFrame settings, causing them to be part of the higher profile levels.
if you look at mediainfo for video files you record with the videocamera in the phone you get a pretty good picture of how it should look - for instance like this for 720p video

Guess it's time to learn a bit about it.

glad that i can help

Thanks for this information. Sorry to resurrect this thread, but does the latest firmware v10e support [email protected]? How would we know?

Yeah I did. I tried to play it (on v10D) and only sound played. No video.

search mxplayer in android market it plays all codecs and allows you to switch from software to hardware decoding if your hardware support it and will use that automatically if it does, its free and is optimized for dualcore and tegra devices.
Playback with mkv on software decoding using this player is very smooth no lag or sinc issues so far.

Question about mp4 files

I had in my sdcard some videos I had shot with my desire hd in mp4 format which the Note refuses to play
Funny thing is that the same videos won't play through ES File Explorer even though they played fine in my desire hd.
Any ideas?

Videos HD on Note
I have same problem neither mp4 of avi , not playing at all , you can find solution at least

Download MX Video Player from the Marketplace. This app should play those files with ease.
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Note using XDA Premium app.

I have a ton of music videos from some iTunes albums. They all play fine. Anyway I can check to see if there special code or something.
I've been using stock video player since original galaxy s.
GALAXY NOTE

you need to keep in mind, not all mp4s are the same. mp4s are just a container. the video inside the mp4 could be using any number of potential codecs. generally i'd just say find an app that converts videos to suit the ps3. if it runs on the ps3, it will run on the note.

Use Rockplayer. Great player, good interface, easy to use and will play ANYTHING
you throw at it.

Record as MP4 rather then 3gp

Whats the deal why would hTC use 3gp for its videos anyway to change this to MP4?
MP4 is very standard i know 3gp in mobile phones but come on. I like to store my home movies on my NAS and stream to my TV and more streaming devices play MP4 rather then 3gp. MP4 is just easier to share as well.
I know there are other hTC devices that got a different apk to change the extension. Can anyone hack the stock Vivid apk and allow MP4?
3gp is so 1998

3 things:
1. Don't bump. It's not like this is a fast-moving board.
2. Search. If it's an APK, it's most likely compatible with multiple devices.
3.
Personally, I just use Handbrake on the PC when I get home. Downconvert the 3GPP and its higher bitrate to H.264 and AC3 audio from the 3GPP feed.
It's pretty much the same thing that I've been doing with my camcorder, which uses the AVCHD MTS file format: Dump in Handbrake, convert to H.264 AC3 MKV, then store.
MP4 is so mid-2000s; MKV is where it's at now.

yeah but i don't want to convert. MP4 is fine for home movies, sure i would love a mod that coded to mkv but that's asking to much. I bought streaming devices so i never have to convert a file again if i wanted to now it'd just be a waste of money.
MP4 is nice and simple and most devices out there support it natively which is why i wanted a mod. Sure MKV is the new HD standard but for home movies MP4 is more then enough better then 3gp.
Sure there are different camera apk files out there but they are not for this devices and don't want to flash random apk files and mess up my camera/gallery.

Have you loaded the 3gp in VLC to get the Media/Codec information? I haven't done it on the Vivid, but I once had a phone that actually saved in MP4 with a 3gp filename extension -- I'd rename the files and they'd play just fine on my TV (which can handle mp4 on USB devices but not 3gp).

worked on the pc after change the extension will have to check on my TV.

while editing some files, i came across an xml that states the camcorder app DOES record in MP4, so i am curious as to where you are seeing 3gp files. i just tested myself and indeed, when i record in QHD or HD, it records as mp4 (although, this is all in the Telstra base mind you...i dont mess around with AT&T base)

Thanks for pointing that out! Whole time, I thought I was still recording in 3gp and have just learned to deal with it. Now i checked on some christmas videos I took with the phone and they are in fact mp4! ^_^

Just checked some videos I did a couple weeks ago and it does give them a 3gp extension. This is on AT&T base.

Could just be an at&t thing then. I will look at it tonight and see if that can easily be changed.

That's my thought too. Can't imagine why though unless 3gp uses higher compression than straight mp4 to save bandwidth? Who knows. I was going to try and look at it as well if I could ever get time away from these damn dying servers.

Im on stock Bell Canada ROM and yes they are in fact 3gp. So maybe they changed in with sense 3.5?
PG if you can find a simple patch that would be much appreciated, since ICS is not that far away i'm going to stick with stock until ICS is released then flash a good custom firmware.

digging through the stock AT&T and it appears the same.
curious, what setting do you have your camcorder set to? which resolution?

Code:
i tried 1080, 720 they where both 3gp.
EDIT
Confirmed again, full 1080P and the output was was a file with extension of 3gp, changing the extention to mp4 does not seem to break anything. Here is the log from media info.

More than likely it's because media messages are compatible with more devices using 3gp than mp4 or m4v.
A simple rename from file.3gp to file.mp4 should work.
They are recorded with mp4 encoding but given the 3gp extension.

recommend video player that can handle high bitrate (HW decoding)

i've tried multiple players (so far the best being mx vid player pro), but it seems to lag on my galaxy note - when i play files recorded by my vDSLR (550d), edited in Premiere pro cs5, exported with exact same settings. it switches to software decoding mode which is probably the main reason why it lags.
here are the details of a sample file that lags :

any idea what player on android can play this smoothly?
in the meantime, i need to do double encoding ( one 1080p original version, one downscaled for my note), as follows :

Bit rate : 24.3 Mbps
That is extremely high bitrates, 3megabytes per second. It will have to lag unless you have an sd card or internal storage that can read that fast. Technical stuff aside, I guess a storage device would need to read at 25Mbps to view that video smoothly. However, all of the class 10 microsdhc cards I seen only rate up to 20Mbps read speed. I did a benchmark for the Note internal storage and it clocked at about 17Mbps for sequential read.
You'll have to reencode the video to lower bitrates, such as 5-10Mbps.

yes i understand the bitrate is high - but that aside, it isn't even running in HW decoding mode to begin with, which taxes the CPU more than it should.. and i guess that should be the main reason it lags?
i tried the same vid on an iphone4 and it works well btw.

I prefer, QQ Player, I use it very frequent does quite good job for me

Test MX Video Player. If there's no sound try enabling audio software decoding.

I use Dice Player... It uses HW acceleration on a great quantity of video codecs.
I think that's the best video player actually

Dear dylansmith,
You can try bsplayer lite. It is also as good as dice player...
Kind Regards,

hi,
other than all these players - dice, MX, BSplayer, moboplayer,
any other super capable players that can handle high bitrate and support the most formats? i tried to play a 1.4gb MKV and all these players were lagging like hell on my Note.

for me moboplayer is very good (with hw decode of course)
besides it has some fun features (animated cover-flow is unique)

i'm afraid you got it wrong mate about sd cards speeds.
read speeds for nowadays sd cards are just 8 times faster (ie: speeds you mentioned are logical in bytes not in bits).
any class 4 (4MBps = 24 Mbps) should be able to serve the mentioned file without any problem.
which leaves the lag origin only as the decoding...
