Hello,
Has anyone been able to play 720p movies with dts audio fine on there iconia?
I've tried several media players. DicePlayer plays the sound fine but video lags. Moboplayer & rockplayer struggle both with video & audio
Try MX video player using s/w fast mode.
thanks will give this ago and report back!!
Tried out MX video player. video is very jittery.. Probably better than the other ones i have tried
i guess we have to convert them
Hi,
anyone else having trouble with mkv files with AC3 audio?
Tried MX player, BSplayer and vlc.
MX player has no sound and smoth in HW and sound in SW (audio only) but really choppy.
BSplayer won't play in hw at all and vlc has horrible quality (artifacts).
Is that working for anyone or is that a general problem? (codec?)
Anything that i can try?
thanks
Try sending the MX Player dev a message mentioning the problem, it's likely something to do with the cutting edge hardware in there not being 100% supported just yet. MX Player is a great app, and I'm sure the N10 will be supported in no time at all.

I am using MX for MKV with AC3 - in the Decoder tab in settings, set the decoder to HW+ and in the Software decoder section, tick the box 'S/W audio' to force software decoding for Audio - then you should get smooth HW accelerated video playback with soft-decoded audio.
I also use MX with EZ Usenet to stream these types of files directly from Easynews, and it works perfectly with HW+ setting, software for audio
tried using a vlc nightly? What version did you use?
VLC: used the armv7-android-neon nightly from 2 or 3 days ago
MX: with hw+ its stutters even worse than with hw when i have software audio
i stream directly from files on my computer, can that be the cause?
VLC works intermittently for me and MX Player works pretty good, the only issue I've had is what seems like missing frames or slow playing video but then the audio is ok. To me VLC seems smoother but it's very tempremental.

is that a general assessment or specifically to AC3?

No problem use a custom code:
"Custom Codec v1.7.32 is fully compatible with MXPlayer 1.7.33
As Usual supports all codecs incl DTS & DOLBY (AC3)
(Old Custom Codecs are not compatible with the latest MXPlayer v1.7.33...!!)"
P.S. the version of MX Player that has AC3 support removed is v1.7.33 so you need to at least refresh the codec you have installed or install the latest ones.
Here is the post with all the various devices compatible custom codecs and installation instructions. I just did a successful before and after test. After installing this AC3 audio is a non-issue.
Too bad both the owners of DTS and AC3 need to such dicks about their decoding software. I have no issue when they charge for encoding.
MX AC Problem
Hi, I just wanted to say thank you. You guys worked successful and it is easy to follow through. Thanks once again. I am Karuhiu from Kenya
Is the stock video player supposed to display subtitles from .srt files (named the same as the .mpt file)? If not what format should the subtitles be in the mp4 container? I know one can burn them in but I'd like to have the option to turn them on/off - not sure it's even possible as I don't see any menus/settings in the stock player but maybe I'm missing something obvious.
Don't think you can man. I just installed VLC from the play store. It's beta but it works best.
I know there are many choices of much better players (MX Player, Dice, Mobo, BS, VLC, etc.) I'm just trying to understand how "crippled" the stock player really is, that's all.
A lot of peoples told me to use MX Player as it's the best player out there for the Nexus 7.
So far it's fine, but the biggest problem i got is when playing WMV files. The video picture is fine (nothing weird like mosaic or strange colors going on), but most of the time the video would play slowly and the audio would get out of sync, so after a while the audio stop and resume when the video is back in sync, but then goes out of sync again. And this happen all the time.
I can't switch MX Player to H/W or H/W+ while playing WMV files, it seem to be forced to play them in S/W mode.
Is there a way i could, somehow, fix this problem? Should i download an optional codec for it?
I tested MX Player on my other tablet (Ainol NOVO 7 Elf II) and MX Player said it needed the ARMv7 NEON codec plug-in to be downloaded. And the WMV files seem to work just fine, and it use H/W mode. (unable to play in H/W+ mode though)
I'm not sure if this is the right forum to post this in, or instead the MX Player forums, but I keep reading persistent claims that people are successfully bitstreaming lossless (TrueHD and DTS-HD-MA) audio to their AVR via the MX Player app on NVidia Shield.
My library consists of uncompressed Blu Ray rips made using MakeMKV. I take the lossless audio codec whenever available.
For the life of me, I can't seem to get proper playback. If I enable HW+, video plays with no audio. If I disable HW+ in favor of "HW", I get neither audio or video.
I haven't downloaded or installed any extra codecs specifically for MX Player yet... currently, within settings, it says I have "Use ARMv7 type custom codec".
Anybody having success with this care to expound on what settings are making this work?
