Just updated my MX Player Pro (to the current latest version 1.7.19) which is arguably the finest Android media player - it plays everything you throw at it. I figured since the HTC One has the best full HD smartphone display with the industry highest PPI in the world right now, i should at least enjoy the maximum it offers. So, i played a full 1080p MKV video but it was lagging a little on my HTC One M7. I disabled power saving mode to unleash the full power of the Snapdragon 600 SoC, but the slight lag persists. By the way, i'm on stock Sense 5.0 with Android 4.2.2, never rooted and my AnTuTu score is 26511 so i doubt if my M7 is being slowed-down because of bloatware, defects, etc. I also closed all other running games and apps, but still the issue remains.
The specifications of the 1080p MKV video that i've tested:
File Size: 9.83 GB
Video: MPEG4 Video (H264) 1920x800 23.976fps
Audio: Dolby AC3 48000Hz 6ch 640kbps
Subtitle: VobSub [Subtitle]
My current settings on MX Player Pro: i'm using S/W decoding for both video and audio. I disabled H/W+ for video, audio, drawing subtitles and aspect ratio correction. Basically, i turned off H/W+ everywhere in the settings. But then, i also tried enabling H/W+ for video only, and then for both video and audio. But still, the slight lagging didn't go away. I also downloaded a custom codec ARMv7 Neon from XDA forums directly from the Settings of MX Player Pro itself. Still, no luck.
So, i want to know what are the best MX Player Pro settings that you personally use to achieve a smooth viewing experience (without lag) when playing the most demanding videos, like 1080p? FYI, i have zero issues with 720p videos.

Try playing MP4 1080p files..they just play fine
and may be its because for both video and audio (5.1) you need S/W decoding and this may be the reason for your lag too
Even with S/W decoding too it should work but causes a lot of battery drain
I reset the settings and using S/W decoding everywhere. I restarted my phone and now it's working fine. I guess a good ole reboot did the trick.
I'm also using RGB 16-bit. I tried RGB 32-bit mode and haven't noticed any slowdowns or noticeable differences.
The original video file was actually in MP4 format but i wanted to mux the subtitle into it to end up with only one MKV file (instead of an MP4 file and its corresponding .sub subtitle file), so i used MKVtoolnix to merge the .sub file into it. Maybe it's the .sub file giving MX Player some extra work. Usually, .srt subtitle files are much lighter in terms of file size and for decoding as well.

the solution to your problem is simple,... you should try to play with s/w decoder in your mxplayer and it will go fine, it also offers much more loudness adjustments compare to h/w decoder,. you will see the option in front of you! xD
Personally i use hw+ decoder for every supported format. It plays 1080p videos very smooth here. For all the other formats you should try sw with yuv instead of 16bit or 32bit rgb.

very nice, you don't read but give advice..., dude he said already use S/W
@topic i recommand use h/w instead and test with other video files also.
hw vs sw decoder?
I thought hardware is the only way to go and software is for last resort. My AC3s are playing back in stereo and now I'm trying to figure out why...
Thanks in advance...
Hello, in trying to play a 4K video on this tablet, searching in youtube and the official webpage i see that the X98 tablet must play 4K videos.
This is my tablet trying to play a 4K video in windows 10 with media player classic. My tablet its on 2.02 bios
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=paaE5-hhXso
You can see that the mouse its ultra laggy in windows 10 when i open the video file, youtube video in 4K its laggy too.
i dont know to put youtube links sorry
If i try to play the same video in android 5.0 with mx player i have the same results.
And this is the 4K file that im trying to play, this file works fine on my desktop PC with media player classic:
https://mega.nz/#!RoYVHDrA!ADmPpQAGIuFH29aqkAd47gB0oSoA1nzaR7hMs5ArDtY
Anyone have another video file to test my tablet in 4K? Maybe my CPU its broken or something?
Have you turn on gpu acceleration for video in the player ?
PS : I checked that video - this is hevc codec ( h265 ) and 4 k ... - the tablet to run it smooth had not even a chance .
Try something with h264 codec and 4 K ...
Thank You, ok i will try with h264 códec instead h265.
Hi can anyone test video playback of h.265 10 bit video on this tab
wont work... even with mxplayer pro with custom codec play it slowly... the device is capable but the codec is not.
I played hevc 10 bits vids on a t815 tab s2 today.
Sweet as pie.
Hi guys,
Just wanted to share with you the fact that MediaPad M3 Lite / Snapdragon 435 does not HW handle H.265 / HEVC 10 bits files. Just got one for this purpose, watch movies / series and it always goes to SW decoder in MX Player (and others) for 10 bits files.
I am able to HW watch a HEVC [email protected]@Main 8 bits file, but when I use a Main [email protected]@Main 10 bits file, it switched to SW decoder. A file around 2000 kb/s bitrate seems to be processed fine, but a 3627 bitrate stutters a lot and the sound is no longer in sync with the video... Might look to get another one now.
Hope that this message will help someone.
Same thing happens on the regular M3 with the Kirin 950 processor. Noticed it some time ago but eventually gave up on trying to watch these videos on this device.
In my case they all play fine on sw decoders (mx player for example) but after a while the device heats up and throttling happens, and the video desyncs or starts to stutter badly.
Hello, I'm going to be upgrading from my Midnight Black Snapdragon S5 to the Ocean Blue 512GB Exynos Note9 and would like to know if it supports HEVC x265 video files (in .m4v & .mkv formats) ? I can play them on my PC via KMPlayer but would be great if the stock Video Player & Gallery on the Note9 support them as well so I wouldn't have to download MX Player instead. Any info is appreciated, thank you for reading
PS: Please quote my post when you reply as I don't check Note9 forums often (yet ).

I haven't used this feature but tried to answer your question on my Eyxnos Note 9
It seems to have the option to select hevc in video recording settings of standard camera app.
A short test video , recorded on Note 9 with hevc option enabled was playable in both native gallery app and MXplayer.
Both players seemed to confirm hevc encoding

I mainly would watch series in HEVC but if it plays recorded HEVC from the camera I don't see a reason not to play movies etc. Thanks for confirming
isint hevc just the encoding for the file container?
logically anything that has H.265 support can play it( which all modern players should be able to play/read)
btw file extensions(container) are almost meaningless eg: mkv, mv4,mp4 and dosent regulate if the actualy decoding is possible or not. they are just a name that allows the correct app to start and open the file. the header in the file probably is the important part.
