So, I have a problem with my Remix Mini (it's the whole reason why I even made an account).
My Mini can play most HEVC files, but there are a few that (depending on the player) either won't play or stutter really bad.
If it's any help, most of the files start with the letter G (which is probably just a coincidence, but still...), at least one of them is 10 bit, and one of them has an Opus audio codec.
Most of them were downloaded from the same site (but possibly different encoders).
I've tried tweaking around with Kodi, MX Player, and VLC Android (both versions, the beta version plays any video too quickly).
Any suggestions?
Anyone?

Will do, thx!
Didn't work! Please help!
For some files I've been able to use MX Player and make it work by switching to HW Decoder... However for these certain videos HW Decoder won't work and you can't even select HW+. When I choose HW Decoder it just says, "HW decoder is not supported".

OK, I've read every thread I can find on XDA on the subject, and it appears that the LG phones have a GPU-optimized video player, but otherwise there is nothing out there that really takes advantage of the Tegra 2 for playback of MKV files. Is that correct?
Most of my files are 720 or 1080 MKV with embedded subtitles. So far the best response I have gotten has been from QQplayer. I tried Moboplayer with the ARM7 codec it sends you to, but could never convince it to show the subtitles.
So what are YOU using to play such files (if anything)? Please also share your settings in case the problem is user error at my end
TIA!
I use PLEX to stream my 720p and 1080p mkv files.
If I need to stored the files on the xoom, i normally convert them to mp4 format using HandBrake.
i havent found a good mkv player for the xoom yet.. i am a VLC kinda guy on my PC and i havent found anything that compares to it...
I use xilisoft ultimate to convert to mp4 for native playback on the xoom
If you haven't bought Plex you have no idea what its like to play MKVs on your device
Plex provides better quality and performance than any other app.
I use Plex but the quality is not the same as if I play the same video (4GB 720p MKV) on the PC.
But one thing is sure, gets the job DONE.

I have found that 3.1 actually does contain enough matroska container parsing (Probably due to WebM) to play any MKV files that would normally play when re-muxed to MP4 however the mimetype and file extension don't appear to be plumbed in. So as long as the audio is AAC or MP3, the video is h.264 and the bitrate/profile/resolution is ok to play then simply renaming the file to add on .mp4 (so the native video player doesn't object to the filename) then launching the video file from a file manager and just choosing "Video player" plays just fine.
Plex is a streamer, we need a local player that's better then Mobo or Rockplayer.
Plex is awesome, but it still won't the display .srt subtitles. I've tried RockPlayer, but it won't play everything.

I tried this in 3.01 and it didn't work but I'll give it a go on 3.1. If this works...!!
I started with rockplayer but then I moved to Vplayer.
Vplayer is awesome all the mkv files with subtitles that rockplayer couldn't handle, vplayer played it like a champ.
Plus i use remote potato to stream my stuff from my home PC and vplayer has been the only player to handle the task.
I still do Moboplayer it works for everything I need. When the MKV files I have don't show the subs I back out and long hold on the file and select Soft Decode which always kicks the subs in for me. Try that and see if it works for you.
Is my Xoom the only one that stutters when it's playing 720P movie on either MoboPlayer or RockPlayer?
I have not found any player that can play mkv file perfectly!
Yesterday, i tested with 1 mkv file, 720p, ac3 audio, size=1.5 Gb, both rockplayer and moboplayer could play that movie very smooth and showed subtitle correctly, but there was no sound!
When i switched to "software decode" mode, sound was fine, but video was very laggy!
Unfortunately none of the players allow mixed mode rendering, as hardware for the video is a go, but there is no hardware (or OS level) support for AC3 audio. Honestly, Android still has a ways to go as far as video codec and container support is concerned.
Just got a Xoom yesterday and have tried about 10 different players...
BS Player was the ONLY one that worked well.

Nobody uses MX Video Player? Found it last year when I wanted to play some anime on my Evo 3D, worked like a charm, and has a separate plugin for device-specific support. Works flawlessly using software decoding, only played 480p videos so far though, supposedly works perfectly using hardware decoding on 720/1080 videos, somebody give it a shot and lemme know
I use Mx Video Player its got best interface and plays most videos and h/w support for 720p videos 1080 is pushing to the limits for Xoom.
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 all
SGS IV looks like complete s*it. So now the only thing that stops me from buying HTC One this year is format support. Heard that it can't hardware decode mkv, is it true? I dodn't mean out of the box but any player like MX or BS. They both have hardware+ decoders that may somehow help with mkv.
MKV is not a video format but a container so I guess it depends on what type of format it was encoded.
Regarding full video formats supported HTC said it is
3gp, 3gpp, 3gp2, mp4, avi(dix, vidx), h264, webm & WMV
I know mkv is a container, but h.264 video decoding is implemented in many previous htc flagship chipsets (e.g. in HTS One X), though mkv can't be hardware decoded on these devices even with 3rd party players (judjing by responses on One X). The same in apple devices. There are no apps that could simply on the fly demux mkv and hardware decode h.264 video stream. Are there anybody who already owes the device and could run the test with any 1080p rip or beter BD remux in mkv?

sorry I would like to revise my previous statement it doesn't support xvid, divx And yeah doesn't also support MKV. But Xperia Z does.
My stock video player won't play .mkv files correctly (no sound), nor will DicePlayer which I'm very surprised about.
MX Player works perfectly - in the Settings I have the video set to H/W and the audio set to S/W - and now my 720p .mkv files run buttery smooth and are pin sharp.

Well yes, that I figured out as well, that MKV, and AVI (divx-xvid) is not supported, but only those which are encoded with AC3
Because of this, some youtube videos are not played, or sorry..played but without any sound....furthermore, when I try to stream anything via DLNA (samsung allshare runs on the pc and or Router) then I cannot watch them...its kinda annoying....
do you have any solution for this? like installing codecs?
Thanks ...only because of this I would not choose the galaxy s4...and I dont want to convert any video I have...
Thanks !

Sure, I found out as well, but my main problem is:
When I am trying to play video on my HTC ONE using DLNA (which is hosted, operated on my PC) the videos which are using or coded with AC3
audio, they...just won't play....
As far as I know mxplayer does not have DLNA support....but correct me if I am wrong... and also what would you do with the youtube videos ?#
After contacting HTC, they just told me sorry these formats are not supported.... I hope it will be only a matter of an update...cause its kinda annoying that you can put any files on a galaxy s4 or galaxy s3...and just play it with the default app...
A little update on this... I manage to make an mkv movie play on the stock player. However the audio codec is not supported. So I think MKV is supported. DivX and Xvid are the only codecs that's not working.

well playing mkv, or avi is not an issue, but it plays without sound (due to the missing AC3) codec, mxplayer must be installed and its good to gooo with hw+ and its perfect, I even found a solution for the DLNA thingy.
Now I just need to get use to the camera, which is perfect on the display, but less perfect on the pc
I got Moto X recently, and I'm addicted to watch series, movies and some stuff on my Smartphone.
So I installed MX Player like usual and his Codec for ARMv7.
I did the configuration thing to use only H/W mode (local and network), but everything I play on it goes to S/W, if I try to change it says that isn't supported.
My 1080p movies play with "lag", making it impossible to watch.
Anyone knows another player (tried BSplayer and Dice Player, but no success) or a workaround to make it work?
Forget about it. :silly:
I managed to fix it, by downloading MX Player Neon, the ARMv7 Neon and the DTS Codec, installing it all, then restarting my phone.
MT8127 Seems to have capability for h265 decoding, but every h265 file I tried, HW decoding didn't work. Is there any way to get it to work?

FireOS 5.1.1.
Why? is it enabled on any other rom?
Any ideas?
Oddly I can get HW playback on sample video files without any audio in mx player but the ones with audio knock it dead.
Which files did you try? I tested the 5mb file from here both with and without audio, and mx player pro 1.8.1 reverts to SW on both.

Hang on, I meant to leave that window open in case asked, but closed it.
Hmm I do note that the page mentions x265 now though properties in mx player didn't show that, only noticed the HEVC before. So might well be my mistake there.
https://x265.com/hevc-video-files/
How did you make it play without audio as don't see any audio free files there?
I used mkvmerge to remove the audio track.
I did some testing.
Turns out it can HW decode h265 but it's buggy.
First I tried encoding to h265 with handbrake and it worked, but only in mp4/m4v. If I encoded in mkv container it fell back to SW. so that's pretty weird, container having that much impact.
After this I decided to move streams from downloaded 720p h265 mkv file to mp4 without touching the streams themselves. Extracted them with mkvextract, and put them in mp4 with mp4box. (file contained hevc video, aac audio and srt subtitles).
I tried playing it with mx player and voila, video played with HW, but now audio didn't work. I turned audio decoding to SW and that fixed it. BUT now seeking the video put decoding back to SW. I decided no big deal, and tried the same trick with 1080p hevc. but it just didn't play with HW, then I tried the previous file again and it too didn't work. And I haven't been able to play it with HW decoding since then. Not in MX and not in stock player.

That is decidedly odd.
Update from SlimLP rom.
Every 720p hevc file works with HW decoding, audio and video, regardless of container!!!
One 1080p file I tried went to SW decoding and said HW wasn't supported.
Other 1080p files loaded with HW without any warnings, audio played well but video was black. This turned out to be part of an issue of only playing a few frames than freezing at that frame, when you rewind the video you can see it more clearly.
I tried MX player 1.80 Nightly and Stock player, same results. HW+ decoding doesn't work but I think that's MX player's issue.
I think this is great news. The problems seem to be mostly software related and this gives me hope that maybe 1080p will also be fixed in the future.
