[Q] 1080p mkv/ts/m2ts refusing to play

so here's my issue. it seems the video player itself has issues displaying 1920x1080 video. 1280x720 works fine, same video. same bitrate, same everything. this seems crocked.
do we know of any workaround for getting a 1080p to work. i've heard of people pulling it off, but i've spent three hours on this and i really believe it to be the player. i've tried third party clients and they're about 5fps. it's irksome.
help plz?

You know we have two different video players right? We have video player, and we also have movie player or something else like that. Try it.

What do you expect to get from playing such large videos on the Cappy? I transcode mine to 720X480 in .mkv and they are simply stunning with zero playback issues. The Cappy supports the low end HD resolution of 1280X720, not the Blu-Ray rez of 1920X1080. And it supports that rez in shooting video so that it can be played back on a larger screen. There's no benefit to playing back videos that size on the device. Resize them, you won't notice any difference in picture quality and you'll save a ton of storage space.

I have 315 bluray movies half are 1080p other is 720p so half of my media is watchable on my cappy and my tab. I use Tversity to stream to my ps3 and everything but if there was away to make it only transcode 720p to mobile devices or have a player that will resize it for us that would be awesome.

May be more of a codec problem than anything else.
While I never put anything bigger than 720p on my phone (since 1080p has no appreciable visual increase in quality on the phone screen, but a MUCH larger file size), I definitely have played 1080p on my phone before. Hence why I think it may simply be that 1080p MKV w/ certain codecs might not work. Remember that media files *legally* downloaded from the internet will often have slight variations in the parameters used when converting to MKV w/ x264/VC1/etc codec. Hence just because 2 files are "720p x264" in a Matroska container doesn't mean they are actually identically encoded. And the Galaxy S can sometimes be a bit picky about what formats it "automagically" supports and which it doesn't.
And by the way, as you clearly noticed, the "Video Player" app in Android is the only one to use the GPU to accelerate video playback. Other apps might work, but they will run the CPU way harder, and give you worse battery life. Monitoring the "time_in_state" to see what the CPU is running at, I can play 720p x264/MKV files with the CPU at only 400 MHz. Obviously, sometimes the default player won't play what you want, but it's much better to use it if at all possible.

This is the main reason I stick with the built-in player. I was on a flight from Ft. Lauderdale to St. Louis to L.A. on Tuesday and I watched 3 movies of close to six hours total length. Landed in L.A. with 31% battery still remaining.

my reasons for wanting to play 1080p is irrelevant to the scenario, i'd just like to see it done.
i considered a codec issue shammy, but i extracted a 60second sample from my crank copy and left it in 1920x1080mkv and tried it. no dice. i handbraked it to 1920x1080mp4 no dice. i once again handbraked it to 1280x720mp4. worked fantastical without any change in any settings except res. hence why i think its a limitation on res rather than codec/bitrate.
i am just IRKED all around at this. time to hit the irc and start screaming at people until somebody gives me an answer huh lmfao

Square peg, round hole. Hope you find a big enough hammer.

Yea man I feel ya, why should you convert your movie to a realistic resolution for a 4" screen when you can ***** at other people to make it work. Doing anything yourself is for chumps.

How do you lose quality by resizing for the device you'll be playing on? All those extra pixels of HD resolution on a 800X420 screen do not yield better quality, they just require more CPU/GPU to process and more storage space. Nothing is gained by playing HD-sized videos on the Cappy. Absolutely nothing.
I own a small HD video production company in L.A., but don't take my word for it.

I was talking about playing the same media file from my Ps3 on my tv. I'd rather not convert my 1080p files to 720 just for my hand held I'd rather have a better way to do all of it using the files I currently have. Tversity works good but not perfect for over 3G but when I had my iPhone it would play pretty good using airvideo over 3G but there has to be something to make it all work

It would be nice to be able to do this I suppose..but if you don't mind...Why ?
If you play it on any other thing but your phone..you will not really benefit from having it this way..and also..you won't really have enough storage to hold it to be able to watch a full featured film.
Until Samsung gets off their asses and fixes the issue with making the usb-hdmi cable you will never get the output capable of seeing any difference than what you can easily do right now at 720p...If you want to ***** about something...that is what I would ***** about..They had those cables available for 1 month..and not many was ever shipped out to the stores when they introduced the phone...I've e-mailed them every week since October and the only reply is they are working on it...so...I'm not holding my breath on seeing it anytime soon since they are working on the next line of phones already..

Clienterror:
I was doing my best to not "*****" at you "other people". If I wanted to ***** i'd be obviously *****ing, not laughing about it. How about I send you my 12TB of video and you can convert it all into 480p, would that suffice for you? since you have such an issue with what I do with my device and provide absolutely no helpful solution, you do it! I sure hope you have couple dual 12core opterons sitting around, because it's gonna take you awhile. currently, encoding crank.mkv time remaining: 1h5m. now realistically i'd never convert my entire collection, just whatever video I want to watch at the time. but guess what? When i'm leaving or doing something I do not have an hour to wait. It's almost faster to download a 480p copy, you realize that right. converting while dealing with 1080p is not fast, nowhere near it. I find it unlikely you have any experience in the matter, i'm sure i've put more time and effort into this than your useless 30 second out of line response, so "chump" take the attitude and leave my thread please.

Why? Because I can. Everyone should want to do. You all see me trying to play 1080 on my phone as insane, and to me it's insane for you to NOT want to watch it on your device. I wont have enough space? i've got 32gb in my galaxys, i can fit three 1080ps. I am not stupid, and you all should not assume I am.
it's very irky that you all jump on a question without any real input on the scenario, except for the basic obvious simplest answer which really isnt helpful to the situation rather than putting in some thought and trying to solve the issue.
now: has ANYONE else made any progress with it. any input regarding 1080p on the galaxys could help solve this issue. please and thank you.

alright ive been doing some more fiddling and came up wiht the following results.
using container mkv, and AVC as codec.
i started with 1920x1080 crank 60s sample gone through handbrake reducing it to about 6mb.
1920x1080 through
1282x726 do not play. at all. unknown file.
1280x720 and below play without issue, and play damn well.
the file is exactly the same codec and container, just resized. so i believe it to be an issue with the player.

does this play on ANYONES device inside video player.

Ooh, my internet shorthand has revealed me as a fraud. You got me.
Your insistence on trying to play HD videos larger than what the device is designed for brought to mind a good analogy. You sound like a guy who bought a nice sports car and is appalled at finding out he can't run it in the Indy 500.

Could it possibly be that your video is simply beyond what the player and/or the device is designed to handle? Square peg, round hole, I say. 1280x720 is indeed within the scope of the HD specification, so there is no fraud in saying the device can play HD content. It just can't play the high end of the HD spectrum. Live with it or get another device.

He's just trying to find away to not reconvert 3,000 hours of videos... if there was away for the computer to transcode to 720p to the device but leave it 1080p for the ps3 but not make 2 files for one video.... how hard is it to want that??? Tversity works for that but it don't detect the device as a mobile device that wants 720p it either does 1080 or goes way low and looks like crap... we want it to do both 720p for they device Ans 1080p for the ps3 at the same time.

I understand that, but it's like complaining that his old tube TV won't display HD signals. Or that his DVD player won't play BD discs. It just wasn't designed to do it. For a device to transcode 1080p to 720p on the fly would require a lot more horsepower than what the Captivate has under the hood. Accept and move on.

First, I understand why you want this; it's a matter of convenience and I don't blame you.

It may be the same codec and container, but what is the bitrate? A lot more data may have to be pumped through the i/o system and larger frames are going to have to be resampled. I'm not saying it is impossible on the hardware, but it might be. I seriously doubt that it's just a matter of some bug, oversight, or intentional disabling of 1080p without good reason.

[Q][DEV] camera mod for recording full hd -30fps? and activate autofocus in video?

Is it possible to make "mod" for camcorder to record full hd - 30fps ( now is 24fps) ?
and activate autofocus in video recording?

Another good mod would be to rise the encoding bitrate of the videos. It is definitely too low. Cam quality is good enough to get much higher quality videos, but a huge part of this is lost during compression, especially if there is a lot of movement on the screen.

Yeah the .3gp isn't the best compression i would of thought for 1080p, but the video quality is still very good.
Do you think you will see the difference if you get the extra few fps?

1. theres no need for recording video at 30 fps instead of 24 - 30 fps doesnt make it look any better only more difficult for the sd card to handle thus giving a higher risk for stutter.
2. .3gp is not a compression format and have no influence on quality. .3gp are simply a container, just like .mkv or .mp4 is - it makes no difference to the recording quality which container is used. The video compression does, and this is done in H264, just like HDTV and Bluray - and if you dont like the .3gp container when recordings are moved to the PC (allthough it plays just the same as any other container using the same filters that plays .mp4) then you could simply remux it to another container of your choice, like .mkv or .mp4 without altering the video inside in any way.
no offence - but modding to be able to record at 30fps or into an mp4 container instead of 3gp are kinda waste of time.
The only advantage you could possibly get from recording at 30fps instead of 24 would be less stutter if you have to view it on a tv that doesnt support 24p (for instance a US 60hz tv) - but most modern TV's today are prepared for bluray playback and thus support 24p (which bluray also use)

I agree, would be appropriate to raise the bitrate in 1080p video recording and in 720p video recording.
And activate Autofocus

24fps pretty much suck. Too much stuttering. No way anyone* would prefer 1080p @ 24fps quality over 720p @ 30fps

agree everything... but i also think that an higher bitrate would be a good choice, reading around, who uses lgcamer, and gets higher bitrate has much better results...
it would be good to get it higher a pair o mbit on fullhd and 3 or 4 in 720p
they say that lgcamera has audio volume problems...
so it would be good to mod the original camera software bitrate...
i think we wouldn't have performance problems... higher bitrate means also lesser compression, so less work for cpu (but higher for sd cards.... but a 14mbit bitrate is enough for a class2 sdcard...)

up for autofucus

It's pretty easy actually, just change the media_profiles.xml file. I upped the bitrate to 20mbit/s for 720p compared to the 7mbit/s that's std(cm7). I find it quite a bit better.
I guess I can upload it as a zip if ppl dont wanna fuddle around with adb?

Okay, that shouldn't be that difficult to do, I mean bigger bitrate.
I managed to decompile Camera.apk and I am seeing this:

which seems that if edited, rebuilt and pushed back to phone could improve video quality. However I'm not experienced dev so if someone could try to help me or give me a hint how to compile it back and push to phone again, I could try it and see what happens

No,no, you just need to change media_profiles.xml. I'll throw up a mod for CM7 in a few mins. It also enables 1080p recording(at 15fps, though).
EDIT: Oh, you're talking 2.2 stuff, sorry. Yeah, I have no idea.

Playing around with the media_profiles.xml didnt have any effects for me with videos, this has to be done in the camera app itself im guessing since lg doesnt use the stock camera app for froyo.

Resolution for Ripping DVDs for Nook

What resolution and file type is best for the Nook Color? I tried one at 1028x563ish and it won't play. I have another that is like 420x800 or something like that and it plays but picture quality isn't quite as good as it could be (worse than streaming content viewed on the nook). What have you guys had work well for you? I have been using mp4 files cause they will play on my nook and my wife's iPad

The search function is your friend...there are whole discussions on this subject. To sum up...854X480 is the Max resolution for hardware based playback. There are multiple links to various handbrake presets...the one I use is set to 1k kbits.
Sent from my NookColor using XDA Premium App

MoBo Player is also your friend. Works well with just about anything.

Try 512x300 (a quarter of the Nook screen) at 600 kbps with 96kbps audio. More than sufficient!
I know it's not as good as the max res the Nook supports but it allows you to put many more movies on it at the same time...

I usually use 852x480... I didn't know about the 854x480 limit - I'm not sure where I got 852 from. I use ffmpeg to rip... the most important thing is to have -vpre baseline in the options or the video may not play. Mp4 supports a ton of different options when encoding, and baseline makes sure that nothing is included that the nook can't handle.

I realize this is beyond the max rez, but with Mobo it is gorgeous for playback.

Just note that your battery life will suffer considerably compared to encoding the video so that the DSP can handle decoding.

I use Cucosofts dvd ripper ultimate.this software is capable of converting to just about any format out there.I've had great success with mp4 itouch settings. Set to maximum bit rate for the best picture quality possible.Rips and converts any dvd I've thrown at it.Audio and video quality is great.

Video Playback on the Nexus 4

Hey guys I plan on getting a Nexus 4 soon and I would like to know how it handles videos beforehand.
If possible could you guys treat the following:
High bitrate 1080p mkv playback (BD encodes if possible)
720p 10bit mkvs
1080p 10bit mkvs
You could try to play 1440p ones but I don't really mind.
What formats does the player in 4.2 support?
Does it support subtitles?
Had any problems with specific audio codecs?
I'm concerned about this because sadly the Nexus 10 can't handle 1080p 10bit mkvs, that was to be expected though, however I think that the superior CPU in the Nexus 4 might be able to do just that and the Exynos 5250 with it's Mali T604 was able to play 1440p (or 2600k as some of you may call it) and I was wondering if the Adreno 320 could do that.
Thanks.

What do you mean " can't handle it"? The nex 10 has one of the most powerful CPUs in any tablet. That dual core is amazing.

According to the guys in the thread in the Nexus 10 general it doesn't play smoothly, it drops frames as it's SW decoded, it was to be expected, while the Nexus 10 has a better CPU than any other tablet the difference is not by much (as each A15 is a little more powerful than 2 A9s at the same frequency) and quad A9s can't handle 1080p 10bit mkvs, the Nexus 10 does a bit better though doesn't play them with a watchable frame rate.

Why use a format that needs PC to run? Can't you convert those to a more usable format?

Just tried a Bluray rip of Cars and it played perfectly in MX player minus the sound of course since it was lossless audio. I don't have any 10bit videos at all but if you can point me to a short clip of one I'll be gald to check it out.

I used them because 10bit looks better and it's a pain to convert them
Here man, that's weird I thought MX handled most lossless audio formats, could you try BSPlayer too?
1080p 10bit ones: http://android.tnonline.net/Software/Video/Hi10P Software/

Don't mistake me, it IS amazing but 10bit, while superior, isn't used much so GPU makers don't make it so their can decode them leaving that task to the CPU which isn't designed to do it.
What happened with the hotd video? Was it choppy? Did it play at all? Thanks

10-bit videos cannot be played without using software decoding. The OP is asking if the CPU on the Nexus 4 is powerful enough for that. The vast majority of mobile devices fail at this task. Only a few phones can even come close to playing a 720p 10-bit file, and even then they aren't perfectly smooth. I, too, am wondering this OP. When I get my phone tomorrow, this is one of the first things I will be testing out.

What about MX or BSPlayer? They play 10bit videos in my TouchPad and SGS2 but as they lack the raw power they are choppy. (they have also proven to be the best players on Android, at least for me)
Edit: Exactly what IAmAN00bie said.

It IS incredible for videos... I've watched Timescapes on it in 2560p and it is fantastic. Quality is just amazing.

Yeah, i'm getting one as soon as they restock on the 32gb one, does anyone know anything about when that might happen?

You won't be disappointed. Don't think anyone knows, just speculation at the moment.

Yes, I will post about it here tomorrow! I will try one 720p 10-bit file (this one should do fine) and one 1080p 10-bit file (highly doubt this will run smoothly).

Problem with the Nexus 10 is the resolution is more than the GPU can handle.

Anyone tried XBMC on the Nexus 4 or Nexus 10? I literally know nothing about XBMC for Android right now, but I have never had a bad experience with XBMC on any platform.

That isn't related to the video playback problem in with 10bit videos, the Nexus 10 plays videos that take full advantage of it's resolution without hiccups when the GPU is handling the load, 10 bit videos are not HW decoded and thus all the load is thrown at the CPU (which isn't made to decode videos)

2560p?
You mean 2560*1920 resolution?
Or
you mean 2160p which is 3840*2160 resolution

4K HD Resolution

Heard it is compatible with this device. How does it work and where can we see samples of it, working on the TF701T?

Just to clarify: Are you speaking about 4K HD output via hdmi? If so, I could test this function this weekend and upload a video later.

Well I'm not sure. I don't know exactly how 4K works on here. Are you saying we can only access 4K via hdmi? It doesn't work on the device itself.
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T using Tapatalk

The product page on Asus says it's capable of 4K on the display with movie playback but CNET says it's only possible on the HDMI ouput to a 4k capable display. Only way is to view a 4K res vid... Would be a good time to test out the GoPro Hero3 Black 4K recording XD
I'm getting the tab as soon as best buy has it available in stores. Will test it out if no one gives feedback by then...

4K support
I can confirm the video logic does have 4K decoding support. Or at least it's the first SOC that is able to decode 5Mpix h264 streams from my IP cameras. The tegra3 and snapdragon600 fail horribly. It looks brilliant on the screen, no clue about HDMI.

How did you view the 4K? I want to test it myself. Thanks!

I do not understand your question. My post says literately what I did to test it. If you also have a video source (such as my IP Camera) above 1080p you can test it yourself.

Oh OK. Have to excuse my ignorance. I didn't recall what an IP camera is..

Just look around for 4K material, youtube has a lot of it (but I do not know if the Android player supports it) but you should also be able to find some sample files you can download.
A good test would be: Sintel which was rendered native in 4K. Should be awesome, you can find a torrent with the 5GB here. Some other stuff you can find over here which they used to evaluate the Nexus 10 it seems.Downloads for that are here.
Last but not least, here you can also download some stuff. Now go forth and use the power of google to find more material! It's not that hard. Analyze the results and report back your findings!
update--
I tested some of the movies listed above and they played back just fine. 4K Samples did and the TimeScape 2560x1440 preview also played back without a problem. Very nice quality! So yes, the Tegra4 can play 4K HD, I cannot test the HDMI port since I have no 4K display. But on the very high native resolution of the tablet it already looks very nice.

Ok, the torrent finished so I tried the Sintel movie. It's a full 4K movie and I tried playing it back with XBMC for Android which worked fine untill I tried to skip a part. But if you don't skip it plays perfectly. Using MX player it played fine and I was able to skip without problems.
So that confirms that this tablet (and the Tegra4) is fully 4K capable in hardware decoding h264. I saw bitrates up to 80Mbit without problem or skips.
Only thing this Tegra4 doesn't seem to handle is 1080p Hi10 anime rips because it cannot decode them by hardware. But since no other chip in the world can do this either, I guess I can hardle fault it at doing so. Software wise I think 720p Hi10 works, but 1080p Hi10 will skip frames.
When the Tegra4 comes out in 'HDMI stick' form it will make the ultimate media player combined with XBMC for Android! XBMC runs quite well on it, fast menu' s and everything.

Does TF701 capable of displaying high (4K) resolution photos and video on the screen?

Hey thanks,
I am trying to decide on Asus 701 and Samsung 10.1 2014 Edition and both have 2500x1600 resolution.
So, if the 4K content can be display on the Asus 701 with even this 2500x1600, then the picture quality will still be sharper than the 1920x1200 resolution, right?
But Asus can also use the microHDMI cable to export video or photo with 4K resolution to a larger external display device and that is good.
Frankly I have the 700 and I use the keyboard a lot and can be use for almost all of my needs during any trip. The spare extra battery pack, the full USB and the full size SD card slot is a plus for the keyboard dock and most people did not take these into account. Yes, I like the S Pen and I used it only once a while for screen cropping to be sent via email. That is good. Can you do that with the Asus 700 or 701?
BTW, a bit studder is fine for browsing for me.
Any suggestions or inputs.
Tx again.
Michael

Mine won't play 4k videos at all. It basically shuts the browser down. I've also just tried playing dead trigger 2 and had major frame drop and freezes.
Think I'm going to return mine to best buy and wait for something much better to come along.
My son is playing dead trigger 2 on his iPad air right now and it plays amazingly on it. I can't stand apple products. May have to try the fire 8.9hdx.

Hi,
I am not sure this is the way to reply and I just follow the prompts.
Can you be more detail "won't play 4K video at all"? Have you try to play 4k video from Youtube - the demo or test videos?
I also do not like Apple product for many reasons but their iPad is a great product with 4:3 ratio. Just need a replacement for my laptop like the Asus tf701. I have the tf700 now with key board dock which I used all the time to type and to replay my laptop. Just want the best display 2500x1600 for HD movies or higher. I can also see my photos better with higher resolution.
Torn between the new Samsung 10.1 and Asus 701. Prefer to have extra battery life of 4 added hours from the keyboard dock, full size USB for any hardware like mouse, backup USB Drive, etc; full size SD card slot (for micro SD card adaptor as well) and I can use the keyboard to hold up the tablet so it is like a stand as well.
The tradeoff is the S-Pen which could be used more often as I learn how to. The 4K HDMI output from the micro HDMI out port is a plus to connect my photo editing and video watching on a larger TV or in a hotel. Try to do than on iPad without memory card slot, HDMI out, etc.
Any suggestions or input that I should consider??

I got my tf701t today and I can confirm that it plays 4K (3840 X 2160) videos with the normal android player fluidly. I played a couple of 4K video demos from youtube including Sony, Samsung, LG and videos from personal users. The details are excellent and definitely sharper than FHD (1920 x 1080) videos.
