Mkv and Mx Player? - 7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

With the code for a $30 discount on the Kindle Fire HD 8.9 I am thinking about picking one up. But I would like to know if you can download the Mx Player from the Google Store and play MKV or AVI files with the Kindle?
Thanks

You can download MxPlayer. Dunno all the files it will play on the kindle fire hd 8.9 though.

Have an 8.9 and use MX Player to play both avi and mkv files with no issues. MX Player has worked better for me than any other player. Rock Player 2 is another good free player.

Just tried MX Player on my new Xoom 2, because VPlayer wasn't working, and I find it great so far. Have you tried it?
vplayer and daroon player are the best for streaming but dice is best for local hd content

MX is the best non-proprietary video player I've used . I wish Google incorporated all of the standard video codecs and made a solid video app. One of the few things I miss from Touchwiz is that the stock video player could play any file without having to re-encode. Also, the video never stuttered or pixelated. MX is the closest thing I've come to the stock Samsung app.

MKV are slow and laggy

I was extremely surprised that MKV do not work on the HTC Raider. My old SGS could do it I wonder why HTC did not make codecs for it.
I tried MX player and it loads both subtitles and video but is so laggy and slow since it software decode.
I tried to get the arm7 codecs but they did not work. Anyone know more on how to get MKV on the Raider?

thank i will try it.
Convert them with handbrake to mp4, pay for the pro version of mx player and use it to play the files.

Too much unnecessary converting, mkvs can play, and you just need to search for the one you like best from the market.

I bought streamers specifically with MKV support so i don't have to convert otherwise I would have just used Handbreak and used my Xbox/PS3. When i had the the SGS i never had issues since it natively supports MKV, to bad HTC does not include this. I never want to convert formats ever again.
Funny thing is the few anime episodes i tried where high bit encodings, tried some regular 720P and it played it just fine.
Mxvideo player works with subs when i watch bleach anime (720p mkv format)
Yeah MX is very good, I have some anime that is very laggy. I guess it varies from encoder to encoder.
Dice player is not polished and i hate the ads, plus it still lagged when playing that MKV.
After trying about 10 players with the same laggy MKV. The 2 best players I find are:
MX Video Player by MX TECHNOLOGIES
MoboPlayer by Mobo Team
The troublesome MKV lagged badly with MX but played perfectly with Mobo.
Bsplayer is the best I've found so far.plays 720 visa no prob

I am trying to use BSPlayer (latest) on a HTC Vivid with 720p MKV streaming from my NAS, it's not even watchable. Yet on my SGS3 plays no problem. Same player, same MKV file, same NAS.

what is the best video player out there for my 8.9?

that play the most codecs and able to play most of the formats from the web? name your app. some of the porn videos i downloaded to my 8.9 from my pc can't play...lol.
I find bsplayer has best hardware decoder support. I prefer the ui of mxplayer
I bought and use MX Player Pro. I like the swipe controls to adjust volume and position.

I can second this. BS player can hw decide files that mx player only sw decodes. But the interface for mx is much better, so I end up using mx must of the time.

mxplayer has been updated couple days ago, and now has a better HW+ decoder. It does hw decoding on files it didn't do before...

[Q] How to read MKV movies (x.264) on Kindle Fire HD

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.
