[Q] Best video player for OB?

I was trying to play MKV files on my OB but it seems that the original Video Player doesn't support it. So I downloaded the MoboPlayer on the Market to play it(since it can play almost all codecs), but it lags for a while, or the audio doesn't sync with the video for a delay of 3 seconds. The quality is definitely good but is there a better Video Player out there? What are you guys using to play videos of other codecs??

try MX Player

Is it possible to play in OB If mkv is coded in 720p or 1080p?
Thanks. ;-)

I think the point is not to reencode.

Been using Rockplayer for a while its pretty solid.

but none can play 720p X264 smooth. i've got the best results with mx player but still not very good. i don't think the hardware is good enough.

try diceplayer.
My Optimus Black(Korean version KU-9500) can play some of 720p H.264 MKV files.

I watched some 720p H.264 MKV files using QQPlayer, everything worked fine, no desync, subtitles were on spot.

H.264 suport only to 480p....720p is lagy..not enough GPU power.

This player is sucks...i repeat the optimal player for OB is "daroon playe"

I use Moboplayer. How is Daroon better?
Nuno

i prefer moboplayer

Tested QQplayer, Daroon Player and MoboPlayer to play a 720p MKV file. Moboplayer produced the best results in terms of Audio and Video Sync.

MoboPlayer is the best for my OB!

I just bought VPlayer through Market...seems to be the ranked 1st video player on the market...should be pretty good!

HD videos lagging on CM10

whenever i play HD videos specially mkv file 720p, the video playback lagging. but when i play lower resolution videos, the playback is smooth.
I use CM10 rom, and MX player . how can i fix this lag?

I think it's because of the screen resolution. Remember, your screen is only 480x800 and the minimum resolution to play HD video is 1280x720.

The problem lies within your original intentions.
I am assuming MX Player is running the video codec through a software decoder (SW) so you shouldn't be expecting considerable performance, especially when you are pushing the device past its intended playback capabilities.

Nah its the kodecks. Stock could play 720p vids smooth because it has samsung codecks,CM10 has not. They are somehow registered by samsung and belongs to stock roms. I read about this long time ago when I flashed CM7. For 720p videos i suggest you to use any good 3rd developer media app such as any other than mx player. Sw decoding will never be as good as hw but samsung got the hw drivers so we are in problem
P.S. Remember to download the codeks for ARMv7 for mx player.

i find mx player does the job for me...also using vlc player to stream my movies to my phone is good. your rom depends on what rate the video plays at....cm7 is the best i have found so far!

Vlc works for you? Could you give me the version that worked on our divice, pls

Are you sure that HD 1280*720 that plays back??A lot of people's ROMs back on the Wildfire S forums mentioned 720p and then it turned out it's something stupid like 720*480 What CPU settings did you use??

Earlier when i tested ....the sd card booster was set at 128kb
Then i changed over to value 2038 and still theres lag while playing videos.
I again mention..these are .flv type 320p videos.
thnk u.

Mx is the best u will get. Playing vids at high Res like 720 is hit or miss so guys please lay of it this. Were all experienced enough to know it struggles to play. This post is old enough to say this. I myself have tried all video playing apps and have gone back to Mx. I stream vidoes fine in normal Res so why the need for 720. If u want to play 720 get a top spec phone from the shop.

Does the Nexus 7 play 720p or 1080p videos flawlessly?

Does the device play .mkv videos smoothly?
I'm thinking of getting the device for video playback, just want something which can play my collection of videos.

1080p?No problem

hell yes i watched avengers full 1080... so smooth... these days I don't even use laptop for videos any more. Anything I want to watch I put it on my nexus

Nice!
All the more reason to get it!

MX Player with h/w acceleration plays 1080p videos flawlessly. Just finished Cloud Atlas 1080p and it was incredible.

I use bsplayer for playback. It's excellent

Plays my BD rips in MKV just fine, but I downsize them for the N7 because there's no appreciable difference in quality and a huge difference in file size.

I usually will use mp4 instead of mkv so my thumb drive will work in my Xbox360 as well. I haven't had any issues with it running from a thumb drive in 1080p
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk HD

You can play 1080p but the N7's resolution only goes up to 720p

I dunno about mkv, but I've played 1080 mp4 with no issues. Used MX Player.

As long as you use the ffmpeg plugin for your video player... diceplayer, Mxplayer, the archos player... the nexus 7 will play all videos, even 1080p, with HWA using very little CPU. Usually staying in the LP core.

No problem with 1080 using H/W decoding but I loose audio sync with S/W decoding.

If its encoded in Hi10 then no, it will play in software mode and drop frames. This isn't the devices fault, the available media players and codecs just don't support it yet. otherwise it runs other encoded 720/1080p just fine and smoothly.

Seems I am only facing slow problem while playing such HD movies..its not flawless for me..I am using MX player..any suggestions ?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium

I never bother with 1080p since the screen only displays up to 720p. I change all my mkv files into mp4 and play them inthe stock video player without issue though. Play perfectly smooth. Watch at least 2-3 movies a week. If i'm lazy though i have MXplayer installed for when i don't want to change it into an mp4 format. Sometimes need to use software decoding to play certain files well. But it always plays them no matter what without a problem!

Did you set the hardware decoder to HW+? I because with only HW you can have slow playback.

i would also like to state.
This is a 720p screen, and i have no issues playing 720p video. The screen will not display 1080p resolution, so 1080p video is worthless on the device.
They may work but they are down-scaled versions of 1080p, to 720p.
There is no purpose for 1080p video on this device. Also, the screen is too small to really notice the clarity of a 1080p resolution anyways at 7". 720p looks and plays wonderfully on this device!! 1080p video >.> if you have a codec, it will play at 720p. Dont waste yo space!!!

480p video playback

Hello. May I know how to play 480p videos on our ace WITHOUT LAG? I have read somewhere that ace can handle and play videos lower than 720p. I tried to play 480p vids on MX Player with the original and a custom codec, but it lags like hell and h/w decoding doesnt work on 480p vids
