Hey, if anyone is using CM9; n their device and want to watch video, you might have noticed flash works fine. That's because flash uses.a software decoder, whereas most video apps use the hardware decoder (battery? No stuttering? Idk ) but if you want to watch videos, you could try the MX Player for android on the market. It has a setting to use a software decoder, therefore giving you proper video colour playback.
Ah ok. For me vplayer is better

Hi,
In my phone i have MX Player, Real Player, Zimly, Mobo Player and Easy Video player. But any one of the above are able to play >wmv video files?
Can some one suggest me a video player that can play .wmv files smoothly.
Thanks in Advance.
our p500 cant play some video files smooth..because we have low h/w acceleration..
Smoothly....idk but I believe mx video player has support and its free on the market....download the video player and the armv6-vfp codecs

Yes I can confirm that. I played a 720p wmv file with MX player weeks ago (but of coz it's not smooth on my ICS rom)
I already tried that. MX player plays only audio, it doesn't shows video for .wmv files.

Did you try software decoding(SW) mode?(on the upper right corner while playing).
Otherwise video probably has big resolution and you need to convert it.(480x320)
I tried to play through software decoding but it say "this video can't play using software decoding".
And the video resolution I am trying to play is 640x480. Is this resolution is compatible with our optimus one?

Yep.,640*480 videos are playable on p500.
But if you are on ics rom then it is lagging. Try to play on any GB rom, it's playing smoothly.

Rockplayer shows most of the archive formats, but don't play some of them smoothly.

Hey guys, any idea about a good video player , which one should I chose ?

I'm using MX Player, it's perfect!
> if your on ICS.. and you only play videos on your local storage.. use MOBO player.. better soft decoding playback than Mx.. hd videos plays no lag... but if you use youtube.. Mx is will be appropriate.
> and one more thing.. if your asking questions.. post it on Q/A section here.

I recommend MX player with ARMv6 VFP codec.. you will find both in play store!!
Dude,practically it is impossible to play any hd video on ics on our device.
So don't confused on video players choice.
The main problem in ROM;not in lg p500.

Devs have already tried a lot to hack omx and got partial success, that's why we are able to play videos on ICS!
If in future there would be any full hack, we'll get to know

The mx player is perfect for lg p500,other option for u might be moboplayer both with arm6 codec.
I've been using mx player for the last year and there has NEVER been a bug or problem and plays every format.

MX player is the best. the new update brings a new feature h/w+ which works on p500 and makes it the best video player
I'm having a hard time playing certain videos that I had made on my tablet like some avi files and some mp4 and I'm using mx player is there a codec I have to download to use on here

There is a arm7 codec available in the market for the mx player. I am running avi files without issues.

The arm7 codec is for Tegra 2 processor. It will install the codecs but if you don't have a Tegra2 processor theres no real point. I know this as I need to install the arm7 codecs for my Acer A501 but have installed them on my SGS3 too. I deleted them with no difference in playing videos from the S3. They are not needed and aren't used by anything other than the ARM7 cpus... Waste of space and time installing them...
MX Player is great! Have you tried switching to software mode? Usually if it doesn't play in HW mode then SW mode fixes it.
I've stopped updating it since version 1.6f. That was the last version that still had DTS audio support and it still works great!!

Yeah, software decoding is good but I prefer HW decoding for video and SW decoding for audio. Works brilliantly well... :laugh::good:

I have yet to run across any video to stock video player will not play. What type of problems are you running into you with a stock video player?
I have had a few where a weird rip has happened for audio. Video plays and audio won't on stock player. I tend to use avi, mp4, matroska(mkv) and other video files but depending on how they were ripped I find certain players work well and others don't. I've also found some of the larger files use the cpu intensively for video and audio goes out of sync. Software for audio seems to fix this...
Most files work on the stock player but it's annoying to find one you can't play...

Anyone happen to have a custom codec that is able to be loaded into the latest MX player so it will play DTS audio? Reason I ask about this is because MX player works the best... BS player the audio becomes out of sync from the video if I pause and restart/resume video. BS player for some reason won't allow me to FF either. VLC beta is very nice but it is just a beta and also has some really crappy bugs. If I FF the video or pause/restart the audio becomes out of sync with the video. VLC lets me FF but that also causes the audio to become out of sync.
So alas, the best (current) way to play videos is MX player. Everything works perfectly BUT the DTS audio. Does anyone have or know of a custom FFmpeg codec that works with the Nexus 10? Thank you!

Nah it does work just takes some fiddling. Enable h/w video only in preferences > decoder. Disable s/w and h/w+ video decoding. Select custom codec. Then when you play video click music icon in top right and uncheck use "H/W audio decoding" and done.

I assume this is the arm7 neon off the play store?
Where does it download to, when I try selecting custom codec it gives me a filepicker, but I can't figure out where in the directory structure it might be?

Alright.
Was thrown off by that being from a different device forum and that there was a NEON codec available in the play store.

ive recently realised that when i play videos on my nexus 4 majority of the video is pixelated. which makes any movie or anyting completely useless to watch.
at first i thought maybe its the video file. so I tried it on my Xperia T, but it was fine no pixelation whatsoever. I tried it on my pc, no pixelation. I tried it on my ps3 and ps vita again no pixelation. Also BTW its not just a specific video file, anything i try to watch on the nexus 4 goes pixelated through majority of the video.
Then I thought that maybe its the media player that im using on the phone. it wasn't. i tried MX player, vlc for andriod, ES player and even the default video player. same thing on all of them; it pixelates in exactly the same places.
something that i also noticed is that on MX player when i play the video it doesn't play using the HW decoder only HW+ and SW, which is even more mind boggling because on my Xperia T it plays fine on HW.
can someone please help me with this. i would like to avoid factory resetting the phone if possible but if all else fails i may have to do it.
any help is appreciated.
THANKS
