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..

I just ran across ROCKPLAYER... for far it looks like an excellent movie player for the Samsung Epic 4g.... free version has some restrictions (but you can live with them).... paid version $9.99 removes the restrictions... am watching an avi movie now... sounds like it supports multiple formats... avi, mkv, etc.... just posting this for anyone who may be looking for a good movie player for their phone.
The stock player plays all those formats fine. Do you think there is a need for a player app?
Word,no need for another player,i tried a few and to me stock is the best.Maybe for wmv,rmb files and such rockplayer is usefull.Does stock play wmv?I havent tried it.Rockplyer is nice for phones that don't have native support.
Epic 4G natively supports a wide selection of codecs. Rockplayer uses its own for playback and doesn't run that well in a lot of situations. The stock player works perfectly for anything except MKVs, where it doesn't support subtitles. However, mVideoPlayer takes advantage of built-in codecs and supports subtitles flawlessly.
Stock player doesn't play flash video rock player I recommend this app its my favorite
i personally like act 1 the best.. ive tried mplayer and rockplayer.. they are all good.. i just stuck with act1

mVideoPlayer only plays movies that your phone supports natively. So if the Epic can play m4vs, mVideoPlayer can.
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 ?
Have you tried playing the video in a different player, such as mxplayer?
yes i have tested many players. it's the same result

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.
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.

Yes the 720p is silky smooth too but then I don't have audio! (in default player or other play on hardware mode)

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?

I am. I just ticked "show fps" in rockplayer. Im averaging 13fps in software mode. I find it very hard to believe your droid 3 magically adds another 11fps (nearly double!)
try qqplayer, it usually works for people incompatible with rock player
Sorry for starting a new thread, but I searched and couldn't find answers.
I'm trying to play 720p mkv files and they are all stuttering in my CM7 kang and etana kernel. Youtube 720p videos are ok, but the only way I could find to play my files was converting then to 640x480 (someone wrote that in some thread).
Is there any other way to play these files?
Maybe not enough ram. Tuurn off some apps

which player are you using? Try using MX Video Player or Mobo player.
Try bs player lite

The built-in player (and all other players usig "hardware acceleration") works for some videos, for some others software-decoders work (mx player has a pretty good one).
BUT, you will not be able to play everything on this phone. "Hardware decoder" only supports up to a certain specification and "software decoding" is limited by the processor (overclocking might help a _little_ here).

Weird, I have same rom and kernel right now, plays ok even in HDMI the only problems this have is with 1080p with high profile, or some main (see bitrate), simple profile plays good.
when i play 720p mkv files i get a little stutter and audio-video sync problems. A 720p mp4 files plays perfectly though.
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...

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.

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.

+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

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..
