[Q] Is HTC One able to play HEVC aka H.265? - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey folks,
i saw an advertisement of the Galaxy S4 and one of the features they advertised was the ability to play hevc videos. Does the HTC One also play such videos?
Regards
Fil

No one?

Just tried it in mx player with a 1080p mkv, it seems there's no hardware hevc decoder since it'll only ise software. It was choppy with audio cutting out, unwatchable.

Can it play 1080p rmvb?

Can it play 1080p rmvb with rockplayer or other player?
I've tried a few 1080p trailers etc. and Rockplayer seems to have serious issues when it comes to 1080p playback of any sort, very laggy etc. I've had mixed results with the inbuilt player. Som 1080p material just flows, and it shows true 1080p through the HDMI cable. But some trailers had some lags. It varies a lot. I got two pre release samples and I can totally see that the issue is definitely with premature software or software which can't quite yet use the full power of the Nvidia dual core architecture...
But man am I impressed when it works!

Does nexus one can playback 720p High profile videos?

LG's Optimus Q(LU-2300, only for south korea) has same snapdragon 1st gen 1ghz cpu. But it can play h.264 high profile 4.1
Both devices are using snapdragon.
It is possible that play high 4.1 videos on nexus one?

LG probably has licensed codecs and a modified kernel to take advantage of said proprietary codecs. I did a quick check online and couldn't find any mention of h.264 playback. The only mention of 720p is for the camera.
Quote from Wikipedia:
"There is built in hardware decoding for H.263, H.264 and MPEG-4 video"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nexus_One
It can also be seen in device specs.
So yes, most chances that the will be some video player that will play h.264.
hi,i used modaco's desire port for nexus one rom,and it surprised me with playing 720p in realtime,and also great camcroding on720p,i tried to play some youtube's 720p videos(downloaded FLV file from youtube)and it played it really really great,smooth,realtime!

did you install mx player codecs for tegra 2? (you have them on play store as well)
yes i installed MX Player Codec (ARMv7) these are the ones anything else i can't believe that i am the only one who is experiencing this problem
Same problem... Codecs are installed for tegra 2 but video framerate is catastrophic.

Try to clear memory, hold home button then 'stop all'.
You made the mistake of buying this phone.
Anyway try Dice player, I find it superior to all other players

Did you try with standard LG Fotocamera? I never had fullhd problems with froyo/GB/CM7/ICS
Nvidia tegra 2 cannot decode x264 or h264 formats @ 1080P resolution. Try converting the videos to MPEG-4 @ 1080 Resolution.

You must be blind if you didnt read where I gave him a possible solution to try Dice Player

No problems with fullhd videos, recorded on camera. We are talking about movies downloaded to phone i.e. mkv or mp4 fullhd movies.

Yes, i do encode and decode movies. SO AFAIK, tegra 2 cannot decode h264 codec.
Tegra 2 can decode 1080p coded in low profile. Medium and commonly used high profile are not supported. You can google what choices you can set up to have low profile video. Very good SW for recoding videos is handbrake. I wish you good luck with searching best encode configuration.
i downloaded the iron man 2 trailer 1080p hd video here's the LINK
i'm using mx player, temasek final build rom and stefan final symbiosis kernel
the video is sluggish to play and the sound is not matching when stark open his mouth for now i didn't using ICS rom or cm10
i also try to play the video in different decoder included on the mx player but it doesn't work
You can run 720p or 1080p fluid.. spawndk from the eepad transformer forum:
"The Tegra2 chipset are designed as a mobile sollution chipset - to support web 2 standards. The highest encoding profile used here (Youtube 1080p) are 1080p baseline and this the Tegra2 chipset will both record and play with no troubles. As well as 720p baseline and main profile - but only upto L3.1 with some limitations. It doesnt matter which container is used (mkv, mp4, m4v, avi etc) and it doesnt matter if resolution are 1080p - its only a matter of the encoding profile used to encode the supported video format H264
Tegra2 will NEVER be able to decode High profile L4.1 encodes - it's not a software issue, neither in terms of Honeycomb or Nvidia libs, its simply a limitation of the abilities of the hardwaredecoder in the Tegra2 chipset and this will never change. It is also not a limitation in the Transformer specifically, but a limitation in ALL Tegra2 based tablets and mobilephones.
This is the same reason why some mediaplayers like the Boxee Box that was originally intended to use the Tegra2 moved on to an Intel chipset before launch.
In short the Tegra2 chipset will support playback of videos encoded in 1080p or 720p resolution, using the H264 video codec and AAC audio codec - as long as the video are encoded after the baseline profile standard
It will not now or ever - play 1080p/720p encodes encoded after the high profile standard."
So basically, you have to reencode videos just like on ipad..
you should reencode to low profile, high profile is for blu-ray device or PC. don't know maybe exynos 5 can play high profile [email protected] with handheld.
Thread moved. Please post all question threads here in Q&A in future where they belong.

[Q] Can HTC One handle 10-bit video ?

I have galaxy S3 and it can handle 10-bit 480p, but 10-bit 720p video runs slow
Is HTC one powerful enough to handle 10-bit 720p video smoothly ? Can someone test it ?
Note: The default media player probably won't play 10-bit videos. So, download MX Player from google play, and make sure you use S/W (software mode) for playing 10-bit video.
Also, you can easily find countless of 720p 10-bit animes if you use google. So, please someone test it for me.
Anyone ?
I doubt many of us are familiar with 10 bit video. Try asking the int'l One forum, they already have the phone available.

Yes, it works fine. I didn't see any stuttering, which happened on my Nexus 7.

Okay, I take it back. There are still some frame drops, mainly when panning, but in general it's pretty good.

4K videos on Nexus 6

So yesterday I got challenged by a friend if my nexus 6 can play pure 4k videos on it or not, I thought that it can play those easily since I've been playing hevc videos on mx player and vlc on my nexus for sometime and it's a powerful phone but I was disappointed when neither mx player nor vlc was able to run it, no hw was supported on mx player and vlc couldn't run it either, so any of you guys have ever played 4k videos on Nexus 6, not converted 4k videos but pure heavy 4k videos, tell me if android lollipop was able to play it and marshmallow can't
All depends on the codec, the higher the efficiency generally the more work the CPU has to do. So H.264 might be easier to view but given the N6 doesn't have a 4k screen, being able to actually view 4k video is kinda worthless. The S805 doesn't even support 4k natively anyway iirc that was a new thing about the 810
