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.

Stock Video Player

I just flashed my GT-P6800 with QuickSilverCM 0.2 ROM and I found that there's no video player. I tried most of the video player on Google Play but none have the tile preview like the stock video player. How can I get the stock video player back or any other stock system application that I like back? Thank you.

Sorry i am at work without my tab I just wanted to say it would be awesome if we could get the sgs3 stock video player with the pop up video play
edit: I just remembered the stock ics rom posted here didn't have a video player included in it either. Maybe samsung is trying to get the pop-up player to work and isnt there yet.

I can pull the apk from my tab for you, but seeing that you are using a CM9 rom, the app won't work since it needs touchwiz.

Nevermind then. I just reflash with stock ICS for now until I found a better video player. (Have to do this since my 2 years old daughter always play with this tablet to watch videos)

MX player
Try download MX player form Market , it's awesome

Try Zeta 3.0

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.

[Q] MX Player 720P Decoder changing from HW/HW+ to SW midway

Already have the neon decoder installed, the problem I keep running into is that a 720p video will play beautifully with HW or HW+ when I open a new video. But if I do something like fast forward/backward, turning on the subtitle during the play, the player seems to reset itself with the screen going black for a short moment. When it comes back, it will play the video from the very beginning again but with SW only. I will get the HW/HW+ not supported message if I choose those two decoders. Anybody knows why?

All formats or only one or two?

Hi mate,
Download freemake video converter to your pc and convert them! It can convert just about anything and then simply copy over to your sd card always works for me Although mx player can play almost anything so that should just play them.....what are you format are u converting from/to?
Thanks

What kind of error message do you get when you try to play them?

Hiya,I get can't play video,the strange thing is I have 3 other videos I put on ages ago one is an avi,the other two are mp4 and they play fine. I've tried to replicate there format by reencoding using same settings such as frame rate bitrate ect but still no joy. I'm using imtoo ultimate to encode
Sent from GT-19000 CM 10.1. stable

Right. CM10.1 (in fact all ICS/JB builds) don't support .avis by default (not entirely sure why). Have you tried alternative video apps (and codecs if you need them)? When I used JB roms using other apps played my .avis fine...

I've used the default video player and mxplayer and vlc. What confuses me more is like I said I do have some videos on my phone already which play in all 3,Avi's and mp4. Can u recommend any good encoders at the moment I use I too video ultimate. Having tried any other but there so many. Thanks for your help by the way.
