Hi,
I want to play tv-show 720p MKVs on my droid 3.
However there's a problem.
The stock player plays MKVs fine (very smooth) but there's no audio.
I then tried rockplayer and moboplayer.
Both play the MKVs fine too in hardware mode, but again no sound
In software mode, both players produce sound however now the video is very choppy.
What player WILL play MKVs properly?
Thanks
Have you tried the VLC alpha?

Just tried it (neon version).
It has sound but like the others..very choppy and corruption too.
Read some good things about dice player. Tried the beta but it doesn't even show video (all corrupted colors etc).
I had the same problem with stupid-ass DICE player, big disappointment. Mobo is good for standard def, but not for hi-def/MKV.
The .MKV standard was invented by the guys at CoreCodec IIRC, which would explain how I used to be able to play 720p MKV's on my old 528MHz Tilt2 with CorePlayer; the player is naturally a master of its own codec... Do they make CorePlayer for Android? I bet it would totally play anything MKV better than any other player.

The thing is, it DOES play the MKV just great! It's very very smooth on hardware acceleration.. If they could just add the sound from software decoder mode..
All TV-shows use Dolby AC3 48000Hz 6ch audio. I know it's not the most simple, but how hard can it be to convert 6>2 channel and play this?
Hrm... Have you tried CorePlayer? I think they have a demo/trial version.
[EDIT] - Well crap-sticks. Looks like they don't have it for Android yet. It's $30 though, so not a cheap app anyways. It would have been a surefire method though...

Ill try that file, btw atm I dont have any mkv smaller than 4gb so no way to play it w/o splitting.
but I tried a 1080p mov on d3, and it plays silky even with the default player.

the file you linked was removed (teporarily I presume) while I was downloading it.
It has the ac3 audio, i tested other ac3 6ch audio and they are working.
BTW, just in case, trans coding just the audio of a video file, with avidemux, is matter of a couple of minutes, practically on an actual pc, it takes less than copying the file on the phone.

What? The file is still there. None of the MKVs work..
I don't want to convert my files.. ALL tv shows are in this format.
It's not like its rocket science.. MKVs like this have existed for a long time and are used a lot. I don't see why it's not supported?

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.

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

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.

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 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..

Anyone having issues playing movies where there's no sound? Every time I open a movie that's on my SDCard, I get an error message saying "Unsupported Audio Codec." However, the video plays fine.
Not sure if it's a Note 3 issue or not but when I had the Galaxy S4, the movies played fine.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Are you using the stock program to play it? Are you open to use a third party player? I found mx player to be the best one out there or ive heard vlc is good too

Stock. I've never had a problem with the stock player but worst case scenario I can give MX a try.
Definitely seems to be a difference from the stock video player on the Note 2. My pirated mkv files with dolby 5.1 tracks indicate "unsupported audio codec" on my new Note 3 but played fine on my Note 2.
Fortunately, the files can still be served to my Sammy TV from the Note 3 and my surround receiver still gets the Dolby bits to decode.
Guess I'll use a different player for playing them on-device.

Was shocked to find that audio in regular Divx and mkv files don't even play on the Note 3, while they played fine on the Note 2. That was one of the most important features for me, god damnit.
The reason most, if not all, aftermarket players suck is they have BT audio lag. Only the stock apps have ever worked flawlessly for me. The video app on the Note 2 was fantastic.
---------- Post added at 04:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:44 PM ----------
Here's the problem:
Note 3: MP3, AAC/AAC+/eAAC+, WMA, AMR-NB/WB, FLAC, WAV, Vorbis
Note 2: MP3, AAC/AAC+/eAAC+, WMA, AMR-NB/WB, FLAC, WAV, MIDI, OGG, AC-3
See AC3 support in the Note 3? Neither do I. It's a very popular audio codec, and Samsung (or Qualcomm) decided we didn't need it. Even the Nexus 4 supports AC3. This is god damn infuriating.

AT&T is even falsely advertising it with AC3 support: http://www.att.com/shop/wireless/devices/samsung/galaxy-note-3-jet-black.html.
Same problem here. Very disappointed. Coming from the N2, and the Optimus G pro, both stock players played all my files with no issues.
The N3 player seems very stripped. I also have Mx player, but that does not support DLNA, which is very important to me.

sucks that the onboard player is so stripped down compared to the N2.
I am also disappointed in the stock player's lack of support for ac3, but I've discovered it can still be used as a source server to play mkv files on my phone to my Samsung TV and surround sound receiver.
While the audio track cannot be rendered by the player on-device, the Dolby bits are correctly sent to and seen by the Samsung TV via the wireless connection to my phone and then passed to the receiver by the TV.
This was my primary use case for the player software on my N2, so I'm not as bummed by this loss as some others may be.
I feel sure that somewhere some Samsung engineer will read this post and add "Break Dolby pass-through" to the to-do list for the next N3 software update.

Work around for now...
Download mx player from play store. Open mx player and go to settings/ decoder and scroll to the bottom and download custom codec that is recommended. Use a file manager like root explorer and extract the custom codec. Then go back to mx player settings/ decoder scroll to the bottom and install the custom codec then set mx player to use s/w decoder (local) and s/w audio then start the movie over and there ya go. Took me a minute to figure out but at least I can watch my movies with sound again. Good luck

Hello,
Bad surprise for multimedia user like me : there is no more support of AC3 audio format and other codecs :
Galaxy tab 7.7 :
audio : MP3, AAC/AAC+/eAAC+, WMA, FLAC, AMR-NB/WB, Vorbis, AC3, EVRC
vidéo : H.264/H.263, MPEG-4, VC-1, WMV7, WMV8, Sorenson Spark, MP43, VP8, HEVC
Galaxy tab S :
audio : MP3, OGG, AAC, AAC+, eAAC+, WMA, WAV, FLAC
vidéo : H.263, H.264, MPEG4, WMV
Bad, yes. Surprise, no. They've been gone for almost a year starting with the N3.

maybe you already knew about this, but just download these files and the stock video player now plays AC3 sound just fine.

just put the media_codecs.xml in the etc folder and libsac3d.so and libsomxac3d.so in the lib folder, then reboot the tablet
BSplayer has been able to hard decode every codec you can think of for several years now on sammy devices, stereo and multi channel, if plays everything I have thrown at it from AVI to MKV to MP4 in all sorts of different formats, even on their free version, there really is nothing that can touch it, it even has network access.

Hi da.trute,
I was a fan of BSplayer too, I even bought the pro version, but on the Tab S 10.5 (S 805) I notice a lot of micro stuttering in hardware accelerated mode.
I had to go with MX Player and I can say it is much smoother (H/W+ enabled).
I do miss the internal SMB support of BSPlayer, but I flashed the excellent SkyHigh TW Kernel 1.9 by @UpInTheAir and now I can mount my SMB shares from my NAS with CIFS Manager.
I can use then the internal playlist function of MX Player (play next randon movie basically) as all the files in the SMB share mounted by CIFS Manager are considered local files.
BSPlayer PRO is still working great on my Note 10.1 (2012 version).

It is probably only due to my specific configuration. .
AC3 and DTS audio seems to be ok, but I have not tried listening with headphones so I'm not sure about proper stereo downmixing.
Anyway I'm on stock 4.4.2 ANF6 build with a custom skyhigh kernel and MX player is buttery smooth.
I can play mkv 1080 files perfectly (roughly 8gb) and my extensive collection of series and cartoons (mostly in xvid sd) plays fine.
God knows. .

Hi guys,
as soon as I froze ANT+ stuff, BSplayer came back to life again!
Now it is buttery smooth, and frankly, better than MX Player.

Default, haven't gone too crazy trying much. I tried Poweramp over a year ago. It has some very nice features but I personally like to just play my music and not have to mess about with it.
I've tried Shuffle and as much as I want to like it, I end up hating it. I like to be able to easily pause, replay, or skip a song. On the lock screen, it doesn't have a replay button and has the possibly most annoying button I've ever seen which is the 'x' that stops and closes the player. It's tiny and very close to the skip button so I've frequently accidentally hit this button and then I find myself having to unlock my phone, open Shuffle, and restart my music. This is very aggravating when you're on the go.
MX Player can play music? I love it for video content!

MX Player can play music? I love it for video content!

It has got a cool ui, also the Dev did a pretty awesome job doing this app, it can be found in cyanogenmod 12.1, a KitKat port is also available in Google
I used to prefer foobar2000, it's really a great lightweight player, but nowadays I just use the stock media player (Windows), because it's also quite lightweight and I'm lazy to reinstall everytime I format my comp. But I miss foobar2000 a bit, I may reinstall it... The only grudge I have against it is that it's not opensource (just freeware, which is already very cool). There's a thread on reddit about an opensource alternative, but so far there's none:

They also are working on a mobile version that should work on Android.
I've been using shuttle because stock hated my phone, but I am annoyed it doesn't play WAV files. What's a good music player that does play WAV files? I've tried a few, but they all sucked.

U may try Poweramp, MX Player, N7 player, KM Player as music player which support almost all file formats. WAV is also supported.

On Android VLC is my favorite player.
Among the reasons why is that VLC brings its own codecs.
On PC I somehow dislike all players. I dislike JuK least.
Poweramp is the best....

Yep, bought off a random Asian from Gumtree. Only just unbricked (my fault) it last night, hence my signature.

Are you kidding!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? Stock always crashes on me, and when it does work, there's better players I've tried such as shuttle.
@most people on this thread, thanks for your suggestions. Will try some tomorrow.

Buy you can try eleven music player if you hate the stock that much, I am pretty sure you will love it
Google Play Music
I dont love it but i use iTunes
back in the days there was Sonique....
i loved that
I quite like N7Player. Sure, the UI is a little confusing at first.. But no more so than most UI's these days. I love the extensive EQ.
Also, my internal geeky-Game-nerd always does a little happydance due to the name. :laugh:
For Video I like VLC, but the new versions can't properly handle MKV's... So I'm still using the Beta version.
Why don't use MX player? It's the only fully functioning ( as far as I have seen) and yet one of the best video player around!
MX, like every other player that listens to lawsuits, ripped out the mkv h264 codecs. For copyright reasons. To 'combat piracy'. As if that would stop us.
I have MX installed, the paid version. Bought in the days when h264 still worked, a purchase I now greatly regret. If I load up any of my series or films, be it Person of Interest, Sherlock, Lord of the Rings or whichever, all I get is a 'video not supported' error.
Trust, no. Not until it works.
Also, there is no way in hell I am clicking that link. You could just as easily have posted the Google Play link instead of some myserious redirect.
Have you tried installing a codec?
