hi,
i am thinking of upgrading to Galaxy s2 from Galaxy s
the most important thing i am looking forward to is 1080p video
especially the streaming part
so i am asking wether MKV streaming is flexible and achievable
i am currently using Diceplayer to play HD Videos
but i am not sure if it will decode 1080p
what do you think?
Says on DicePlayer page "Samsung Galaxy S2 : 1080p H.264 [email protected]/MPEG-4,1080i AVCHD MTS." I have diceplayer also and with or without it, plays 1080p mkv w/ subtitles fine except you can't use stock with flac audio unlike Diceplayer.
how about streaming 1080p?
Hello !
Yesterday I was very much surprised when I downloaded all mp4 HD video from my SGS2 to the TAb and neither file couldn't be played on stock player. After hours of rush in the Internet I tryied almost all other known players but the bext I achieved was slow motion video in dice player. What is your expereience? Did anybody run smoothly HD videos on his device?
720p is fine. 1080p is not. You can grab bsplayer free from the market, very nice player.
I believe the only hardware accelerated codec is H264 so any video not in that format would have issues with 1080p. I personally played a 720p Xvid, over the network, using MX Player last night. DICE had speed problems with it.
In my experience DICE is better for MKV and MX is better for AVI etc.
there's discussions and recommendations about this in this thread

If there is any app that would do it if the hardware was up to spec it would be Dice Player. It eats all my 720p MKV's for breakfast but still can't do 1080p.
I've uploaded a suite of 720p and 1080p MP4 clips to test for the OMAP 4430's video playback performance. These should be playable with the standard video player. Please try them out and give feedback in this thread.

How to play 720p and 1080p videos full screen in nexus 4?
If they are supported file formats it should work with the stock video app. For other formats, especially mkv I head to search for I while. I came up with this one, works without problems:
RockPlayer2
It can also handle most music formats, including flac Drains the battery like crazy though, when playing HD mkv videos. Not that that would be very surprising...
