Note Unable to play MKV Files. - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi. I Flashed my note a month back with the Checkrom v5 Rom, suddently my stock video player is unable to play MKV files and the MX video player can only play them in SW mode. I tried to reflash, and everything seemed fine at first but after a day I exprienced the same problem, now im thinkin maybe I must go back to stock Rom, its really annoying cuz i liked that ROM, any suggestions?

Yea I noticed this as well, didn't bother me too much to play it in SW on MX but I could never find a fix for it. I just moved to ICS and was done with it lol.

Try BS Player Light or Dice Player - both are capable of playing mkv containers HW accelerated, handling dual audio, embedded subtitles and play HD content.

what Rom are you on, and are you experience any other bug?

not many problems
Teamrocket v1.5 beta but it's not straight forward flash and it's tricky to go back to GB.I get an odd short freeze with skyfire browser but not with ics browser.

BSPlayer - A good video player, but with a quirk.

BACKGROUND STORY NO ONE ASKED FOR FIRST:
I was using MX Video Player for awhile, but was kind of annoyed at how it would drop a frame every now and then with some of my video files (even using the Motorola sanctioned x264 encoding options of no CABAC, no B-Frames, no weighted-P or 8x8 DCT) and wanted to look for a new video player.
I was turned onto both Dice Player and BS Player. Both of these players seemed to play back video much better than MX Video Player, with no stutter or frame drop in my 720p files, so I was mostly happy. However, both of them had an issue I didn't like. Dice Player's software was only available in Trial form since their checkout account was suspended. BS Player wouldn't seek in some of my MKV files.
I scrapped Dice Player as there was no workaround for the BIG ASS CLICK HERE TO BUY BANNER AT THE TOP OF THE SCREEN at the moment, but I started to investigate why BS Player wouldn't seek in some of my movies yet seek in others. (Dice Player seeked no problem, same for MX Video Player.)
My investigation concluded with BS Player having some sort of seeking problem with any movie file that was over 2GB. (That's 2,147,483,648 or 2,048MB.)
Other than that and what some say an interface that needs to be worked on, I think it's a great program. Just wanted to give a heads up to anyone who uses this player or is looking for a good movie player the quirk I found with it...
Most of my encodes with the proper baseline profile at CQ 22/AAC 160 are usually under 2GB, but I s'pose for the 3 movies I have that have issues, I'll try for CQ 23/AAC 128 and see if it is under 2GB and acceptable quality.
Hope this helps someone!!
Yea man - I agree. I was having issues w/ my MKV files - found Dice player and it worked fine - went to buy it but nogo. Found BS Player - works great as well.
Interface is a bit clunky - but I can live w/ that!

I'm stock.
New version of this app in the Market today. Fixes my quirk plus adds ICS support. What what!
I must issue a warning... don't download the latest update to this software. Although it fixes seeking in files over 2GB, it breaks hardware acceleration so videos now play back in slow motions.
Very disappointed.
EDIT: Attached the old version as well as the old plugin for those who upgraded and didn't have a backup of it!! Old version works nicely minus the >2GB seek bug.
Will give it a try thanks.
Luckily I bought the Dice player before the market went down. One thing that is not mentioned a lot about it though.
I work in Africa every other month, no wi-fi. So after two weeks Dice player stops working as it cannot call home. This annoys me.

[Q] ICS i9000 Native video playback

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

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 ....

+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..

QQPlayer is capable of playing any video file extension..its a free tool available for download in market.

[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.

[Q] Crazy audio distortion

When I watch some 720p MKV files with Dice and Stick It players, the audio is pretty badly distorted. It will sound fine for a few seconds, then make crazy bleep-bloop robot noises.
I found the the VLC player nightly actually will play the videos with sound, but it isn't really suitable for use because of lag/sync issues.
AVI and MP4 files work fine.
I've been using CM9 for a long time and haven't had this problem before. I moved back to older builds when it worked fine, yet the issue persists.
I can't blame the players, because they haven't changed. Can't blame the ROM, because old versions that used to work now don't. Can't blame the sound hardware because other videos work fine. Did a system wipe/factory reset as well.
Any ideas?
Try MX player .It plays all my files Inc MKV.

MX Player is great, it plays all my files also. Don't forget to get the codec (Armv7).
MX is a another player that used to work for me and doesn't anymore.

The only thing I can think of is to run acmeuninstaller, then install android again with acmeinstaller 3.
Good luck..
