[Q] How to read MKV movies (x.264) on Kindle Fire HD - 7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi !
I've just have a Kindle Fire HD for Christmas and i tried to read a MKV movie on it. I can see video but there is no audio.
So i tried to read my MKV movies with VLC. VLC can read AVI but with MKV : no video nor audio (black screen).
So i tried MX Player but the app crash.
I don't want to convert my MKV to MP4 or other.
How can i read my MKV ? Is there a player working ?
My Kindle Fire HD 7" isn't rooted but i can if i'm certain that i will work.
Thanx for help !!!!

Mxplayer should still work. But toggle to sw mode before loading the movie. That usually works for me on movies that don't load right initially.

Have you tried VPlayer (on Amazon App Store) or looked at sideloading DICE Player?
EDIT: NVM just seen you latest reply

need mkv player for CM7

while i love CM7 it's a pain that i can't use mkv files like i could when i had samsung based rom.
is there anyway to solve it?
or do i have to use some other player do watch mkv files with subs
Try rockplayer.Its in the market the free vs comes with ads but work flalessly
Using rockplayer is what is recommended on CM7 FAQ but I never got mkv to work with the player either. I tried hardware render but it crashes out the phone and software render lags. This happened on any version of CM7 from last Feb. to testing out build 22 - 26.

[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 know, i was just saying 1080 is just wasting your card space.

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!

it does play everything, but software decoding lags, doesnt it?
Im currently using mvideoplayer and run really smoothly.
480p(640x480) works perfectly.
No playback lags.
And your video format should be .mp4 H.264 for best playback!

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.

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.
