Hi. I Flashed my note a month back with the Checkrom v5 Rom, suddently my stock video player is unable to play MKV files and the MX video player can only play them in SW mode. I tried to reflash, and everything seemed fine at first but after a day I exprienced the same problem, now im thinkin maybe I must go back to stock Rom, its really annoying cuz i liked that ROM, any suggestions?
Yea I noticed this as well, didn't bother me too much to play it in SW on MX but I could never find a fix for it. I just moved to ICS and was done with it lol.
Try BS Player Light or Dice Player - both are capable of playing mkv containers HW accelerated, handling dual audio, embedded subtitles and play HD content.

what Rom are you on, and are you experience any other bug?
not many problems
Teamrocket v1.5 beta but it's not straight forward flash and it's tricky to go back to GB.I get an odd short freeze with skyfire browser but not with ics browser.
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...
+1 to Mobo player .... its beast amongst the all

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.

DL 1.3.0 now.... will give it a try!
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.
I think BS player is good one ....
Any one else want to post there view...

+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
has anyone tried vital player it can play videos smoothly which other players lag(audio & video syncronisation) including mobo and mx player.

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..

I recently bought a new Sony Xperia SP C5302. Problem is MX Player crashes directly to the start screen (the one with the SONY logo) while playing MKV files, not right away, but after I'm some time into the video.
Sometimes this happens just as I start a video, sometimes when I'm midway, and sometimes it doesn't even crash on one video but crashes on the next video of the exact same kind (like two episodes of a TV series).
On the first run, it didn't ask for any codec, so I didn't install any. But after this problem, I've tried installing ARMv7 & ARMv7 NEON codecs in every combination possible. I've also tried messing around with the settings, H/W, S/W decoders, etc. Nothing solves it.
This problem I've experienced only while running MKV videos. The stock player from Sony (Movies player) runs the entire video without any problem. It has been able to run all MKV videos I've thrown at it perfectly without any problem. However, it has no support for subtitles.
An even greater problem is, not only MX Player, but other Android players like DicePlayer, BSPlayer, MoboPlayer, all of them crash in the exact same manner as MX Player does, while playing MKV files. I've tried them all, with and without the respective ARMv7 codecs, wherever available, in both H/W and S/W modes.
Since the stock player can play the same MKV files that crash MX Player, without any problem, I assume it's not a hardware defect, but some software or codec problem.
Please advise what to do...

Ofcourse its not a hardware problem. I having MX and Dice Player. I am a movie lover. always watching my favourite movies in my SP only. All are 720P and 1080P. I did not faced a single problem like u mentioned.
Try to update ur Phone. In video players make sure u activated hardware decoding options..
And yea stock video player is good. But it have some minus points too.. Did u try new VLC beta?
If ur using . 211 firmware means update it to . 284

Same here m using MX on my C5302 ulocked bootloader and rooted. Have played files of 720p and 1080p upto file size 4gb+ and never crashed....please try re-installing MX player.....
Okay, I'll upgrade to .284 ASAP.

You're most probably right. Right now, I'm on .211. It'll probably solve itself once I upgrade it to .284. I'll do it within 20 days, since I don't have access to a reliable PC and internet connection right now.
And for all who asked, the player crashes while playing MKV videos of any resolution, not just 720p or 1080p. Foot example, I first encountered this problem nearly a month ago while watching episodes of one TV show, in 720x404 resolution (from one source). And right now, I'm facing the same problem again while watching episodes of a different TV show, in 624x352 resolution (from an entirely different source). The file is H.264 / AVC / MPEG-4 AVC / MPEG-4 part 10, and frame rate is 23.97602.
Thank you all for trying to help. I'll upgrade to .284 within the next 20 days, as soon as I go home, and get my hands on a reliable PC and internet connection. I'll monitor my posts here and in the MX Player forum in the meantime. So long...

thanks for your suggestion, however my set was C5303, too lazy to flash back the LTE baseband. and if i do recall in fact some forumers do experience freezing while they are on .284. as i mentioned, im not too keen on this problem happened in my primary phone, i just disappointed on sony's firmware engineers. cheers.

Hi guys,
before Android 4.3 I used to watch video with MxPlayer with H/W+ codec (the only one that can stream 1080p video without annoying freezes).
Now if I try to use that decoder the app crashes with a: "native error".
Exactly the same happens with customized codec or with vplayer.
Am I the only one with this problem?
With stock Android 4.3 is it ok?
What can I/we do?
