[Q] ICS i9000 Native video playback - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone got a list of the codecs ICS roms will play natively? Seems mkv will only play in software decode [and not at all via gallery] where they worked fine in GB

I use MX video player it plays mkv files without any issues except when the file size is more than 2GB

Yes mx is the only player that seems to work but if you look top right its using a software decoder. All gb roms were working in hardware hence better battery performance and playing right from gallery.

ive been using 2 different plays and find them quiet good
1 mobo player
2 rock player

I am NOT looking for a piece of playback software! I am trying to work out if we have a missing driver issue or a kernel flaw. No new software should be required to playback content that worked fine in GB

MKV Player with Internal Subtitles Support

Is there an MKV player with internal subtitles support?
I've tried many different players already. It seems the Optimus 2x has no mkv hardware decoding support, so those other players just play audio and display a black screen.
The closest I can come to is RockPlayer but I have to extract the subtitles out for it to be able to load them.
vplayer?? may be?
OX2 plays MKV well since Baseband/ROM/RIL 606
and which player, play's that files good?
i use CM7 and rockplayer it works good

"Tegra chip only support up to [email protected] for 1080p and possibly [email protected] for 720p"
i converted my mkv from hp 4.1 to main 3.1 and it plays fine on latest stock rom v20l. 45min tv show took about 22min on my i5 2300 machine from mkv ac3 to mp4 aac , i connect the phone to an old sony bravia tv via hdmi cable , and play from my NAS which run NFS server with mx video player 1.5, ( i'm able to turn on hardware acceleration after conversion, before conversion it can only use software decoder and basically can not be watched, it stuttered a lot)
i used mobo player, and its works good.
this is market link for mobo player :
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.clov4r.android.nil
then you install codec ARM V7_VFPV3 for O2X : http://www.moboplayer.com/decoder/down.php?ID=6
this is a official web for mobo player : http://www.moboplayer.com

problem playing divx with cyannogen

Hello everybody ! In first sorry for my english i'm french
I have a problem my 2x run cyannogen kang, it's all good except divx playback, the image pixelize And the Sound is horrible.
do you have an idea for my problem ?
Nobody for help me ?

Maybe its just a bad video file, try a different divx file and see if mx can play it and use software decoding not hardware.
i'm sorry my problem is not what i can't divx only, today i see what every media i put in the phone with cable using mass storage option, don't working. every files are corrupted but when i transfer everything by using a card reader, it's ok. i don't why and i don't know what i'll doing for resolve this problem
I have 2 players for playback namely Mobo and Rockplayer. They can handle videos like MKV and DivX. Maybe the video you are trying to play is encoded differenly or 1080P (other formats) which regular players can't handle.
And try "Soft Decoding" if Rockplayer does not work
try mobo player...
Try MX Video Player. Has specific codec for Tegra 2. If it doesn't work, try Soul Video, another good option.
If your device has GB rom, try diceplayer trial version.

[i9001] 720p mkv playback problem

Guys, i have a problem with my i9001.
My phone is rooted and i installed the gpu "new" drivers from the development page. I have upgraded from 2.3.3 that comes default when i buy it to 2.3.5 through KIES, not through ODIN, so it's with vodafone ****s or whatever.
Anyway, the problem is the following:
I want to watch some mkv .720p tv shows on it (like dexter, supernatural, etc) and i tried with a couple of players but every single player will decode the mkv in "SW mode" not hardware, so it won't play properly and it will lag. I tried with bsplayer, mx video player, mobo player pro and even DICEPLAYER (the full version).
So, any ways of playing 720p smooth ? i guess it's because of Adreno 205 which is weaker than Galaxy S gpu.
Come on, 130 views and no replies? sorry for double posting.
Oh, and i didn't installed any "speed" scripts like adrenaline shot or whatever.
Fact is i just bought the phone and i don't want to lose my warranty already. Do i lose it when i install adrenaline shot for instance ?
Update: My actual ROM is I9001BUKP2, which is Vodafone branded and my phone is simlocked (most likely).
Can this be the problem ?
Update 2: Very weird thing happened. I put an episode from The Walking Dead, 350 mb .avi to run with MX Video Player and surprise, even .avi LAGS in hardware decoder, but i'm lucky that MX Video Player got S/W Decoder FAST and it played almost smoothly (95%, still little fps drops).
After that, i tried with an episode of Grimm, this time 720p, .mkv but WEB-DL (even more better than normal 720p releases of groups like IMMERSE, CTU, etc) and the HARDWARE DECODER went AVAILABLE this time, but it lags terribly. I tried with S/W Decoder FAST and lol, it worked almost smoothly.
So, what the hell is the problem ?
Could it be my I9001BUKP2 firmware ? it's official, updated with KIES, i guess it's the same as this one on XDA.
bumpy ^^ ........
still bump .... come on :|
Update: I am now with XXKPS 2.3.6, still the same problems. MKV 720p are laggy, and every single .avi movie is laggy in hardware decoder as well. only softare decoder can decode avi movies to be smooth, but 720p still be laggy.
hey guys .. i curently have feamod v.1.3 based on CWM 5 0 2 7 .... what change if i flash 1.4 ? i use cranium RC7 update 1 with kernel v6 cranium 1900 ghz
but i wanna flash broodrom RC2 final but i don'w know what kernel to use... is v6 1900 cranium ok wit broodrom ?
Well then, how about re-encoding your movies using e.g. xmedia recode or SUPER or whatever? Choose a lower resolution. That's a phone, don't expect it to play HD content - on the small screen that does not make any sense at all.
Well, for others it works perfectly, only i seem to have problems. And anyway, samsung is reporting that this phone can run 720p movies without a problem.
@arialth, GET THE **** OUT.

same issue here, i tried a 720p movie on my i9001 and it used SW decoding in mx player.
I noticed one thing though, after installing mx, it didnt ask for any codec to be installed, i expected it to ask me to install the ARM7 codec??
Same problem here, the moment you want to watch a 720p mkv video you can't use HW decoder.
I am using 0.1.0 cm10 ROM from Ivendor with 3.0 Kernel.
Use VLC, it supports hardware decoding of all media formats.

Already tried that, I've done some search around and I think it just can't handle a 720p mkv.
Bear in mind that the I9001 has a better CPU but a worser GPU, so it's possible the I9000 is able to handle 720p mkv better.

Also, Samsung does indeed report that the device can run 720p movies in mp4 or whatever format.
Seeing as they're own video player doesn't have a mkv codec it is possible there just isnt mkv hardware support.

Best Video Player for Huawei X6 & FBO variants ??

Please recommend a video player + Version that we can play .mp4 with H264 codecs and .flv files on our FBO devices smoothly.
I believe we have ARMv7 type CPU... Ive tried a few players but most struggle with large .flv file size.
My devices and firmware are
1x WellcoM A99 (850 UMTS) running the awesome Bumble bee 101-3
1x WellcoM A99 (850 UMTS) running Stock 2.3.4 WellcoM Rom Rooted/unbloated
1x Cherry Mobile Magnum HD (900 UMTS) running Bumble bee 101-3
respect xda rules please, no links to warez
Download Mobo player from market.. Its free..
Set its setting and set it to default Soft decoding..
It is the best..
For Any video...
+1 to Mobo player .... its beast amongst the all

You where on to something here
Spent half the day installing uninstalling various players and their versions.
Mobo player lagged on .flv files
Rockplayer lagged on large .flv or couldnt use hardware encoding.
MX Player latest version kept giving me FC
then i read about MX Player v1.5 being stable and compatible for CM7 so i gave it a try... it works FLAWLESS!! and it even Hardware Encodes when it needs which none of the others did.
thx to those that recommended.

DL 1.3.0 now.... will give it a try!
nope still cant play this one file i have, its a 1080p 140mb MP4 .flv music video... i mean it plays but is laggy as hell.
BUZZ player is good, but still not as good as the MX Player v1.5
thanks tho
I use a combo of bsplayer lite and mx player. Best of all, they're both free! Grab em, on the play store. install the arm v7 codecs if you're having trouble playing files.
I like to use MX player. easy to navigate to fast foward, to increase/decrease volume while driving. hehe
Have You Tried QQPlayer??
Guy's Have you tried "Dice player" it's also very good player
I still recommend you Mobo player.. Don't use "Mobo Player Pro"..
Go to settings and set it to default "Soft Decoding"..
I myself played many .flv files of more than 1GB data......
Because I love watching movies on our device...
As we all got ICS update with new developer we have conclude again which is best Video player as above all are not working flawlessly over ICS.
I think BS player is good one ....
Any one else want to post there view...

+1 bro.. ithinks MX Player 1.5 is still #1 for me when using CM7 bumblebee + the awesome ICS-Gingerbread theme loaded from the CM7 Theme Chooser app. And like what natsuke said just swipe up/down for volume so easy!
FYI i still keep trying new video players when you guys recommend them so keep the recommendations coming in if you find something
cheers
has anyone tried vital player it can play videos smoothly which other players lag(audio & video syncronisation) including mobo and mx player.

I tried the latest Vital Player Pro, and it wouldn't play some of my .flv music videos where the MX Player would. It wouldn't even hardware encode so its a fail from me

I tried this yesterday, the latest pro version 2.04... omg every .flv file i tried to play the screen went crazy with different colors and i couldnt see the video.
edit.. this only happened while using the ICS Codename Rom, once i put MacDragon Rom back on the App played all files nicely. It even switched to HW encode
bs player is good player..it performs better than rockplayer.those formats which are not supported by the stock player ar played with softwaredecoding.thats why at higher resulutions those players can not give good performance.i've tried h.264 hd file it only gives 20 to 21fps..but the mp4 version gives 31fps..only reason is hardware decoding instade of s/d..by the way rockplayer can play any format..

[Q] Galaxy and playing 720p .mkv movies

hi
First of all i want to say that i don't wana to use players like bsplayer, dice player or mx player.
I want to watch a movie in built-in player or m video player.
The thing is that these movies are working good on stock 2.2.1.
And one time is working for me on 2.3.6 (but i forgot on what rom and now i can't find it)
Maby some one know what to do to watch that type of movies.
MX player play this only in Sw mode.
One developer say's that this is maby kernel feature.
I think this could be some video drivers.
I recall that GamerzRom was able to play 720p mkv very well, but not with a stock player, it was with Moboplayer rather.
I don't think any stock player will be able to play 720p mkvs, due to the lack of hardware decoding support without proper codecs (Samsung does slap in quite a few already, but unfortunately not for MKV IIRC, presumably due to it possibly sucking too much RAM).
I guess your best bet would be to try that ROM with a 3rd party player like MoboPlayer, Dice player or MX player.
ok, i like the rom , video speed is little better but it still lagging and played in software mode
look at the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dz-mh1RzmpA
It works just fine for me. On ICS CM9 with mx player. Very smooth and clear!

maby more info?
becouse i don't think that .mkv is playing smoothly for u.
Try this: http://www.nyaa.eu/?page=torrentinfo&tid=322020
Diceplayer
i'm using devil kernel with XL memory and without any problems. 720p videos work perfectly with Video player and Diceplayer.
So try and see if devil kernel helps you out too.
Good Luck
for me on CM9+devil's kernel 720p movies runs smooth without any problems, I'm using MXplayer.
slim ics + devil3 +mx player or dice player and video playback (.mkv,anime) is terrible.
