I'm using stock 4.0.3 and Glados 2.4 and whenever I try to play a MKV video on MX player (or any other player cause I tried them all basically) ITS REALLY LAGGY!
Back on gingerbread I used to watch videos like this one and they were butter smooth..
What can I do to solve this crime?
(Needless to say I used the HW decoder when I played those videos)
THANKS!
try BS player or Dice player
I use dice no problem and BS player works great also
both were recently updated to work with 4.0.3 sounds like MX needs to be updated

What rom do you use? Or what kernel?
You can try the recently updated build of RockPlayer. Force hardware decoding.

Guys it's not a player problem nor a rom one..
I flashed 200 different ICS roms already and they're all lagging even when I use BSplayer, MX Player, DicePlayer or RockPlayer..
On gingerbread it's flawless but on ICS it keeps lagging! Any of you really tried playing 720P videos on ICS?
fine for me 4GB 720p mkv (h264)and 3gb 720 avi on stock 4.0.3 play just as smooth as in GB using diceplayer

software decode lose of quality compared to hardware decode also the H.264 and other hd codecs will not play as smooth as hardware and will run into sync issue with audio
should use dice or other one thats true hardware decode players like BS
rockplayer mobo and most other are not true hardware players they only capable of hardware decode on codecs already supported by default those players add codecs but will only play with software
dice actually adds codecs and plays with hardware support
Hmmm interesting
for me some mkv 720ps videos play fine and some don't but I guess it has something to do with the bitrate

Is there a good video player that everyone is using? I can't play .avi videos on this. I use mplayer on my HD2 but if I install it on here the ratio is soo small. Any advice?
I'm using qqplayer.

I forgot about Plex. If you're trying to play external media on some other device, Plex will work quite nicely.
Still trying out video players. Will update you soon.

I too find this the most useful one out there. Plays almost everything.
I'm using Vitalplayer. Plays avi mpg and mp4. Thats what I have tried and I'm unsure whats in the containers but it plays it well I think. The avi-file is a 720p file and it looked good with no sync-problems. The mpg is a recording made with Mythtv with highest quality. Flawless playback.
I use Mobo by default but there are times Rock does a better job.

Just tried rockplayer. It made me happy in ways I did not believe were possible.
so after playing with a few of them I think I have settled on mobo player. Its free in the market and seems to work quiet well.
mobo rocks lol...pun intended. both update very often.
yea but is mobo or any other player playing without saving the video first? like you open a email and click preview....

MP4 and x264 but still lacks allot of audio codecs ...this player has everything now can play MKV with DTS without the use of converting that ultimately degrades overall quality

Flac encoded files are too large.

We have tested flac enabled version, but it is hard to find flac movie under 4GB.

I thank you for adding the support. However, it seems that the audio playback is a bit choppy. Here's the video information if it helps.
Width: 1280
Height: 720
FPS: 23.97
Video Codec: h264
Audio Codec: FLAC
Audio Bitrate: 48000
Audio Channel Count: 6
Data Size: 2.49 gb
Also, when I tried playing a file with an AAC codec it caused an error stating "W/AACDecoder( 856): AAC decoder returned error 30, substituting silence". I attached a logcat if you want to look at it.

That's probably because it doesn't support hardware acceleration with other codecs than H.264.

Which codec is the AVI using? There are h264 codecs that you can use in AVI files, but as stated, the usual h263 ones (divx, xvid, etc.) probably aren't hardware accelerated.
The new Vplayer offers 1080p video playback on the nexus s and galaxy nexus running ics

Try BSPlayer
720p video on a ~480p display?
I tried vplayer last night video playback with hardware acceleration were distorted but playback seemed smooth. Tested despicable me 720 MKV with DTS and RIO 720 AVI (old movies but great for showing off the SAMOLED)
but then again im using on icecream so maybe not supported and hardware acceleration is in experimental atm.
diceplayer has matured overtime also supports DTS a common audio format for MKV videos- offers everything you need for 5 buck. $5 is chump change considering the caliber of the app also the dev is great, really quick to fix problems and response quick to emails
also from what i hear BS player is also hardware but ATM don't work correctly on IC
also 1080 cool if can be played with hardware acceleration and playback is smooth. but not practical with only 16gb memory ..you might e ables to fit one movie with quality reduced since a decent quality MKV is like 9-12GB plus the SD is used for more than just media...its not worth it

believe it or not it looks better than a 480x720 even if not running at 720P
also most HD movies online are at 1280x720 so it save the hassle of resizing and also reducing the quality of the video

I've always used MX player, but i'm hoping to see good things from VLC for android once it comes out of beta.
I also use MX Player. If the video or sound isn't working, switch between the H/W and S/W decoding modes. I haven't run into any problems yet.

MX Player here as well. It's on all of my devices. MX for video and Mixzing or Ubermusic for tunes.
BSPlayer all the way. The best out there. Can play even my baddest, biggest 720p mkv videos from a mounted cifs share on my NAS over the network, absolutely smoothly. And hides the softkeys. Well, most times

I use BSPlayer too and also stream from a networked hard drive flawlessly. I also like the fact that when I play a new movie, it would automatically search, suggest a list of and download subtitle files for me if I don't already have one. :good:
I have a 6.5 GB 720p mkv file. Here's my experience on the Nexus 7:
Dice Player: Surprisingly doesn't recognize it. It used to play everything. Oh well...
VLC player: Crashes.
Real Player: Cannot recognize it.
BSPlayer: Plays is flawlessly, except the audio is a bit on the low side. Not sure I'd hear it with headphones on a plane.
MX player: No audio.
I hope that helps. BS Player is what I'll be using from here on till someone has another suggestion that works.

I've tried many players including DicePlayer, VPlayer Video, RockPlayer, QQPlayer, MX Player, MoboPlayer, etc...
ALL above players lag when playing 1080P MKV files. The only player that JUST about manages to play 1080P MKV files close to smooth is VPlayer, the rest lag and the movie appears to be playing in slo mo...
Other problem is that every couple of seconds the movie buffers which results in a split second pause which is annoying. Audio is slightly out of sync too...
It is not my memory card as I'm using the 32gb Sandisk ultra class 10 micro sd card which is specified to play full HD movies without a problem...
Read/write speeds are 30MB/s so I would of expected it to perform better...
I've read something about increasing memory card speeds in the Tab by using some application which boosts & gives you the absolute maximum read/write times from the memory card.
Could anyone guide me on a good application which gives you the best performance out of your Micro SD card?
Also, what else can I do to make HD 1080P movies play smoothly on the Tab 7.7?
Thanks in advance.

I tried the above player and there will still lag. However, I found THREE different versions on the market place. Which of the 3 should I try?
I've tried the mVideoPlayer OId edition - https://play.google.com/store/apps/...6a2wuZGV2ZWxvcG1lbnQubVZpZGVvUGxheWVyLm9sZCJd
Then there is the mVideoPlayer Pro version - https://play.google.com/store/apps/...6a2wuZGV2ZWxvcG1lbnQubVZpZGVvUGxheWVyLnBybyJd
And finally there is mVideoPlayer - https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wiYWZ6a2wuZGV2ZWxvcG1lbnQubVZpZGVvUGxheWVyIl0.
I've tried the very first edition (old edition) and the lag is still there.
Which version are you using?
Thanks.
Update - Just tried the latest Pro version & the lagging persists...
Could it be anything to do with the bit rate of the blu ray rip being too high?
It's 5.2Gb in size and full HD 1080p...

I don't know if I'm missing something here but, why would you want to play 1080p files on a 7 inch screen? My 1080p movies in mkv format are anything from 10gb to 30gb.
I transcode with dvdfab or similar which brings an HD movie down to not much more than 1gb at the quality is still brilliant! And there are no problems in read speeds and loads can be stored.
Or did I miss the point somewhere?

Or I could do 720P HD rips, keeping a high bitrate keeps higher quality. And as you said, on a 7'' screen there's not much difference in 720P & 1080P...
Even on my 32'' LED IPS 1080P TV, comparing 720P & 1080P can be difficult at times...
There's your problem. Only the default stock samsung roms have proper 1080p playback. Not to mention HW decoding of WMV.
