Galaxy Tab A7 (SD662) hardware acceleration hvec missing - Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello.
I'm not able to activate hw decoder in VLC or mxplayer with my new Galaxy Tab A7 with snapdragon 662
VLC activates but h265 4k videos plays like crap or get stuck.
Mxplayer says that hw or hw+ decoder is not supported
Does not the SD662 has hw decoder? What's going on? It is possible that it's too new and drivers are not supported yet?
FYI, Galaxy tab A 10.1 with exynos works perfect with the same videos and MX player for example wont fail to activate HW decoder
Thanks

yes i find Mobo player is by the far and the best and is still being updated
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.clov4r.android.nil&hl=en
just download it and install it
im only getting 20fps on hd files tho but probably just because its bit rate is 6000 and i only have a class 2 card
but anything sd plays perfectly especially for all your 700mb back ups
+1 for mobo player, it's great!
Sent from my Incredible S using XDA App
Diceplayer
try diceplayer.
diceplayer can use hw video decoder for mkv,m2ts,avi,mov....
it use less battery than sw decoding player ( mobo / rock / vPlayer / QQ )
diceplayer can play 720p H.264 High + DTS/Flac/OGG/AC3
(H.264 profile are depending on HW decoder .. ) and have better video quality.
Diceplayer doesn't work well on my incredible s using virtuous unity 1.27. Crash when trying to open settings.
+1 for mobo player
QQPlayer and vPlayer both worked perfect for me even with HD files with the SD card I received in the package.

Mobo player use ARM's VFP/NEON instructions.
it is not HW video decoder. it is SIMD instructions like MMX,SSE.
HW video decoder is not ARM core.
Diceplayer use SoC's Video decoder and HW renderer like a Stock player.
but Diceplayer can handle many formats(MKV/AVI/MTS/MOV) and audio codecs (DTS/AC3/FLAC/OGG).
no for the IS

[Q] Hardware Acceleration and video decoding

Hi all,
I have samsung galaxy s and i switched to ics rom from GB 2.3.6(very stable and awesome) and found there no built-in video player while gb has samsung video player which plays all format with hardware decoding and MX player hw decoder also works but in ICS there is no hardware decoder also MX player hardware decoding not works. sw decoder is very lagy and useless and live wallpapers is also lagy. While in Team ICSSGS RC4.2 says Full Hardware Acceleration so where is hw acceleration???
I'm using Dice player and it seems to handle most of the formats I have with HW acceleration. Give it a try.
I recently installed dice player, it only show HW icon like MX Player bt actualy does not do hw decoding. U can feel the result of, video is very lagy and sound is chopy. In GB there is no issue and i often watch HD movies, I don't know why anybody feeling this basic issue. Without HW acceleration ICS there is no fun thats y i was using GB with ICS moded them
I use BSPlayer lite + BSPlayer ARMv7 VFP CPU support
Now i tried this, player is very pathetic and if i m using its hw mode of bs engine then video works else system mode does not work. Y u r using BSPlayer ARMv7 VFP CPU support while only bsplayer lite playing mkv files?
I'm running CM9 + semaphore 1.2 kernel, Moboplayer and MX player is working only in software mode, but Dice player hardware mode is working!
I use MIUI.4-SpeeD rom and no problems with live walpapesr. Default player, integrated in galery, play mp4 without problem, mkv play withoot sound, avi not play. BSPlayer play all formatss what i need. Wen using software decoding, mkv drop some frames, wen using system HW decoder, screen is OK but no sound, when using BSPlayer HW decoder screen and sound is normal.
Thanks for all gud replys, Dice player is working good. But i came to point that ICS has not built-in support for HD videos or doesn't have HW decoder. Every player is using its own decoder and produce different result. I just wana know what is technical missing in ICS comparative to GB, because GB has everything built-in(hw decoder and codes) to play every type of file?
Was interesting and i flash phone back to GB rom XXJVU. Default video player not play avi, mkv play withou sound, mp4 play good. The same results I obtained with MIUI.4-SpeeD rom withou any external player and codecs.

[Q] HW accelerated video playback

Has anyone succeeded enabling HW decoders in BS player and MX player on droid/milestone?
I installed both of them, installed the ARMv7 codec packs for their respective players, and tried many different videos. It always renders in SW mode. Is it possible at all to enable the HW mode on this chip?
Forgot to mention, I am using CM9 (9.1.0b) which afaik does support HW accelerated decoding.
I only managed to enable HW+ decoding in MX Player using CM7.
In CM9 and 10 it somehow doesn't work :/

HEVC Video Support?

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.

1080p HEVC decoding

I'm thinking if this tablet could be a good choice, but I would like to know if the device support smooth playback of 1080p HEVC 8-bit and 10-bit video?
Any ideas?

Unfortunatly, there is no hardware decoding for HEVC on this device and the cpu can't handle the load for HEVC software decoding.
To choose the right device, look at the supported codecs by the gpu.
As an example, galaxy tab s5e seems more suitable with its snapdragon 670 whitch support both HEVC 8 and 10-bit (according wikipedia, qualcomm wesite does no mention bit depth).
When i use MX player with transvoding SW or HW (i forget), hevc works without freeze
