Any upgrade to 3.2 and now having studdering with 720p High Profile files using stock and Dice player?
yes, they have to update a fix for diceplayer asap. playback of mkv on bs player however is still smooth.
Not Good!
I have contacted the developer about this. He had no idea and said it’s just the Galaxy Tab. He has no timeline on a fix and offered me a refund. He doesn’t have a galaxy tab to test with.
Interesting. For me, with the stock player, the experience is opposite, I can now playback the stuff I had previously encoded for iPad 1 just fine. With 3.1 it would lose half of the frames and fail to playback properly (aspect ratio issues etc...). 3.2 fixed that.
I talked with the Diceplayer developer too (juami) sending him a private message instantly after discovering the issue with the 3.2 update. The problem is only for 720p H264 encoded files, so it's not depending on the file format (mkv / avi / mp4). I can confirm that XVID 720p files are still working fine.
He said he does have a galaxy tab 10.1, but with koreean firmware. Which reminds me that koreean specific firmware was 3.2 from the begining. So how did he not encounter these issues until now??
They keep pushing updates doing small fixes, but nothing notable, sometimes breaking what's useful. For example, latest versions do not show the type of decoding in the upper left corner (HW, SW). I don't know why they are ignoring important issues like correct 6ch AAC decoding or the H264 HW acceleration on this new UEKMM firmware.
It seems the Diceplayer developers forget that a great boost of their sales came from the moment when Samsung upgraded the Galaxy Tab 10.1 to the TouchWiz firmware. The previous non-TW 3.1 firmware was pretty capable of playing any H264 files with the native video player or other players using the multimedia API of the OS (so called stock player).
When the TW firmware appeared, the only choice remaining for playing 720p H264 files with hardware acceleration was Diceplayer, because suddenly the stock player started to show "Sorry, this file can't be played...". I even suspected that one of Samsung programmers intentionally broke the stock video player in order to make some money from selling other player (Inisoft is also a koreean company).
OK, I was wrong...
Now, with 3.2 Android, even Diceplayer is not working. What the hell is Samsung doing with the OS? They keep improving the fluidity of the UI (like the only thing to do with a tablet is swiping the icons grid left and right) and in compensation they break the multimedia experience... Good thinking!
Reverted back to 3.1 because of this issue plus hd YouTube videos not working anymore...

I concur. I also did test playback on 720p [email protected] and Diceplayer play it well. 1080p XVID also works well. I was previously on Overcome ROM based XXKI1 and playback was choppy.

"Sorry, this file can't be played.." I only get this when trying to play 1080p mkv/mp4 file. No problem for 720p mkv/mp4. Can you share with me if you are on custom rom? If you still on 3.2, cold you share with me your build.prop file?

I don't have this problems either. Basically I'm happy with 3.2.
could use the kernel pershoot!
Arg. Saw this thread after my post.
I've never had smooth video on the tab without dice. Now even dice is borked. RAGE.
Its obvious to me goog and samsung dont care about the media experience. If they did the outnof the box suck wold not be as pronounced.

It seems like this problem applies only to the Wifi versions. Does anyone experience this video problem with the 3G version?
Nope, i can confirm mine plays high profile 264 without any lag on dice.
Watching big bang theory high profile 264 @720p, file size 550mb for a 20min show
Therefore Probably only lags on wifi versions??
I've got the same problem on wi-fi version, it's like a slowdown every 1/2 second. To be honest it looks much the same as when I play it in software on my Nexus One. Do we know it's definitely using Hardware acceleration? Before the update it was buttery smooth in diceplayer.

Some mkv's have multiple audio channels, click on the musical note icon in the upper right while playing your video to try another channel.

Count me into the list. Tried watching one of my Breaking Bad MKV's last night. No sound. Been using BS player since then. Works great!
I know this is a Nexus 7 thread but I was plagued with the same issue with my Samsung Galaxy S2. I have always used a TouchWiz based ROM whether it was official or a custom ROM as it comes with great video codec support so pretty much any video player app would play anything I threw at it. However, I have recently moved to a non-TouchWiz ROM as I wanted the Jelly Bean goodness. The only problem with this is that my favourite video player app would no longer play my video files. I tried some of the popular video player apps that do software decoding (MX Player, Vplayer) but they all had issues. MX Player wouldn't play audio and VPlayer's video was stuttery and audio/video was out of sync. I was about to give up hope and considered moving back to a TouchWiz ROM even if that meant going back to ICS but then I read this thread and gave BS Player a go. I'm so glad I did as my videos play awesomely perfect again.
I'm not sure what BS Player does differently. It seems to say I am using hardware decoding (BS Player engine) but whatever, it is working great and I love the feature to be able to speed up the video along with audio. Watching some stuff that is fairly slow paced on 130% is a great time saver and hardly makes a difference to viewing experience (depends on what you watch though).
Anyway, just wanted to convey my experiences and hopefully help someone else out in future.
I have tried several players (MX, Dice, BS, QQ), but only MX and QQ do hardware acceleration and none of them plays really smooth.
For testing, I used a 720p 24fps Blu-ray rip which plays smoothly on my Galaxy Nexus using MX.
On the N10 it's only *almost* smooth, it looks a bit like if it cannot update the screen fast enough (maybe because of the resolution).
Developers probably need some time to update their app to support Nexus 10's hardware decoder. I would shoot them an email for status.
BTW, I also tried that Timescape 1440p video and I tried the Google Movies Player. Same problems.
Vlc player?
Sent from my Nexus 10 using xda app-developers app
Thanks for the tip. But VLC does not finish scanning at start. Have to force close it.
Also tried VPlayer, but it shows a black screen when HW decoding is enabled.
Try mx player. And dont forget to download mx player decoder based on your procie.
Yeh I'm sorta disappointed at the player also cannot find a video that can display this screens potential and run without dropping frames' I'm sure software can help with this and app updates. Also every website image looks so bad on this screen due to websites not having hi red images lol I'm sure they will fix that for the iPad and in turn for us lol

Already tried MX. What codec should I download? I thought MX displays a message, if you should download a codec.
Maybe the problem is related to 24p. I will have to find something in 60p.
Would be interested in this also as I currently can only use S/W decoder on MX Player.
Give MoboPlayer a shot.

I have yet to recieve an update and all files I try and play I get "Cannot play this file with H/W decoder", and S/W I get like 7 FPS.
I watch a lot of animes, and many animes these days are encoded using 10-bit H.264 (Hi10P).
720p 10-bit is very laggy on my galaxy S3 when using MX player. Can someone test it on galaxy S4 and tell me if it handles ? Also, please use mx player which can be downloaded for free from google play
Also, keep in mind the S4 sold in my country is GT-I9500 which uses samsung exynos processor
Did you try with VLC ?? (I don't know if it runs better with VLC, just asking)
VLC uses the same decoding libs and the performance wouldn't be much better.
10bit can only be decoded in software right now so you simply need more CPU power (and the GS4 might have enough power).
I'm quite curious if 720p 10bit can be decoded myself.
I'm curious about this as well, apparently S4 uses the same GPU as iPhone 5 which plays 10 bit videos flawlessly with no lag at all. Can anyone confirm about this?
Im getting my S4 quadcore in about 2 hours and use mxplayer. Ill be happy to try it if no one has done it by then. Where can I d/l a video to test that is the right format/rate?

Sorry to have taken so long. I tried to d/l it after I got the phone, but didnt realize it was a torrent. Then I saw it was 341mg and I
only had slow 3g. D/L it when I got home and just watched some of it.
I have never watched anime, so I will simply tell you that it seemed normal to me. Using MX player I had to switch it to software decoder, as the hardware decoder played the audio but there was a black screen. Switched it to software and everything played fine, and the a/v seemed synced. It seemed smooth, I saw no choppiness or halting issues. Screen was clear and bright and crisp. Audio was loud and clear.
I didnt do anything to the phone (stock) and only made the hardware to software change in MX. Otherwise it was straight outta the box.
Hope this helps you.

Thanks a lot for you reply, sounds like a perfect player after all. I definitely have to buy a S4
btw, is MXPlayer better than the stock one ? AFAIK, Samsung and LG appear to be the only ones on the markets that have the best codec support in the stock player! Nexus 4 have serious lag when playing the file above but Optimus G drives it smoothly even though they have the same hardware support (benchmark was lower on Nexus 4 though).
Even Xperia Z has issues when dealing with 10-bit video, and I doubt that HTC One is capable of playing video files well as the codec supported is rather limited (according to GSMArena).
My point is, if galaxy s4 were to have CM10.1, I'm curious whether its ability to decode film still retains by using MXPlayer

Please test it with MX player. Don't forget that you need to use S/W instead of H/W to play 10-bit
MX player is not the fastest player to play 10-bit. Archos Video player can play much 10-bit faster.
However, mx player is best player I've tested when it comes to rendering subtitles. The other video players can only display subititles at the bottom, but mx players can display the subtitles that appear in middle or top of the screen that appear in many animes. Thats the reason why I'm asking people to test using mx player.

I did run it with MX Player first. If you go back a couple posts I used that first for silversun92. You are right and it ran very well. I did have to change it to S/W, but after that it worked without any problems. Silversun92 asked me about the stock player, so I tried that next and it didnt work. Sound did but video did not. Can anything correct that?
FWIW, I also ran it with BSPlayer (which I like and use). It seemed to run slightly jittery, but it automatically showed subtitles which MX didnt when I ran it. That might just be a setting issue though. Regardless, I think MX ran better than BS.
Is there anything else that you all need tested ?
anyone know how to get DTS video to work on S4? I have 1080p mkv videos with DTS audio, but it wont work at S4 video player.. there is no sound
@ben3003
DTS only works in H/W+ mode afaik. (Testing with MX Player) on S4 this is a ARMv7 Neon FFMPEG custom distribution example
I find that the experience for 720p 10bit playback is not yet satisfactory. But the device may be capable of more due to its unique hardware support (HEVC). I think we can expect improvements to playback in future.
As @maroon1 mentioned Archos Player is almost satisfactory experience with 720p hi10p playback (I believe this is software rendering) however it lacks the Styled subtitle support that I have grown to love MX Player for. I can get over this lol but would be nice to have in future.
So you guys disagree on the results....
So, @roninep you say that 720p 10-bit mkvs played smoothly with MX Player on your S4, but @sh4z you say it wasn't satisfactory? Would both of you mind posting a short ~5 minute video clip of your results for comparison please?
I'm debating on buying an S4, since I watch a lot of video on my phone. Currently I have to manually re-encode (with handbrake) all my videos and anime from 10-bit to 8-bit before I put them on my phone, so a phone that plays 10-bit and saves me this extra step would be great!
Thank you for confirming!!
----
My first post on xda!
@CDB-Man
I made two videos to compare MX Player and Archos Player on GT-I9505 S4.
I pretty much agree with @maroon1, I think Archos is the smoothest so far out of the players I've tried. MX Player has better subtitle support so If it's not 10bit I would use that.
Same video is used no special optimizations default settings. Streaming over WiFi G. (Plenty of bandwidth for 720p) @roninep might have a GT-I9500... Haven't tested MX Player on that yet. Will give it a go tomorrow. Maybe its okay with that device.
MX Player

Archos Player
https://vimeo.com/67198799
Apologies in advance these videos are a bit blurry at some points as they were taken by my Galaxy S GT-I9000. It doesn't know what to focus on lol. Anyway the frame rate I think is visible enough in each example (I think that's what is important right ?)
Some other 720p 10bit mkv Tests (In Reverse Order *worst first*)
1. Mobo Video Player constantly played intrusive ad's and crashed when attempting to playback,dumped that like a **** ...
2. VLC Does not play properly v.choppy got about 3 frames out of it (It's beta after all and may kill your kittens (lol wtf vlc thats the warning you get when running the first time )) audio came through okay.
3. QQ Player was worse than Mobo Player laggy video and out of sync audio, did not properly understand styled subtitles and output incorrectly.
4. VPlayer - Constantly playing catch-up (video; fast,slow,fast,slow)- Subtitles displaying correctly at beginning but then later disappeared
5. MoboPlayer (Audio playback no video on H/W) Software playback was good but artifacting (think twice compressed jpeg, probably just not proper 10bit support) faster than MX but archos is better(faster no artifacts), subs displayed correctly but not styled
Any others people have tried that are good let us know! its useful. Cheers :good:
Thank you @sh4z for posting the videos! And you're right, framerate was what I was wondering about! And coincidentally, I'm currently using an I9000, want to upgrade to the I9500. And yeah, I currently use MX Player for everything, including those animes I convert from 10 to 8 bit.
Before I forget and go on, @sh4z how did you get the fps to show in the topright corner on MX Player? I couldn't find it as a menu option in MX Player...
----
So it seems that MX Player framerate is watchable, but when compared to Archos player, Archos is much more enjoyable. Hopefully MX Player's dev will be able to improve his codec! (with MX Player having much better .ass subtitle support)
It's good that you pointed out you tested on the I9505, I had forgotten about the different chipsets. From a few places I read around, I've heard rumours that perhaps the I9500 with its Exynos 5 Cortex A15 will perform much better than the I9505's Qualcomm Krait 300.
Just looking at their comparison on Wikipedia's page for the Krait CPU, it appears (at least on the surface) that the I9500's Exynos 5 should do better? Hope we find out later!
--------
Hopefully, we will soon get an android device + app combination that rivals the iPhone 5 in terms of playing 10 bit videos.
For reference: From what was said on Animesuki's forum thread "iPhone 5 and 10-bit MKVs" , there's a video that proves that iPhone 5 with "HD MKV Player" app can easily handle 10 bit videos.
--------
I had tested some of those other players on my I9000 too, and I agree that MoboPlayer probably performs best out of them, in terms of framerate. Like you said, it's too bad that it artifacts on colours and doesn't fully support .ass styling.
------
From his signature, I'd caution a guess that @roninep has the North American I9505 like you do, so no Exynos core. If anyone else here has an I9500 would you mind testing this out please? Thanks in advance!
I tested on I9505 S4.
Was watching a 720p 10 bit anime video with MX Player and find it pretty smooth except scenes that has lots of movement, action where the video stutter a little (No problem though).
But do take note the CPU does heats up a little... Mine was at 55 degree C after a full episode.

@psycovirus thanks for testing! Would you say the performance was about the same or better than the video sh4z posted with MX Player on I9505?
And yeah, it's unfortunate but expected that the CPU would heat up since it's all software decoding.... I don't think any consumer hardware will get hardware accelerated h.264 hi10p, especially with the release of h.265 "HEVC".
Hello. What is the best combination for playing hd videos wihtout lag? Which app works the best and which rom-kernel?
I have rooted nexus 10 and i have stock kernel-rom. However the hd videos lag a little.(refering to 720p)
I have tried mx player and bsplayer with our cpu addon.
I just use regular bsplayer. Never had an issue and I was just watching HD stuff this weekend. I am on RasSaber ROM, but I never had issue on AOKP PUB, AOKP, or CM10.1 stuff either.
I would bet it is more about how the player is set up, whether using CPU or GPU, and how easily the clock speed for whatever the player is using ramps up.
More or less. Most of these ROMs have the appropriate CPU/GPU drivers already, so your main concern should be making sure that your player is using H/W decoding...and that you've encoded your file properly too.

Where do you download RasSaber? I can only find rasbeanjelly, etc. Is there a thread?
I do not have a link, I am not sure if it is available anymore or not. I am running a build from may 12th, and the latest build I have is from may 28th. You could ask sparksco or Rascarlo if they can give you a link to one of the builds.
Using hardware the video lags more. I tried an mkv file. Can i change any other settings in the programs to make it smoother?
Maybe i will flash another kernel, but i want 1 week to try the stock kernel in order to be able to tell the differences..

Then your player is (probably) badly built. There are really no circumstances under which a S/W decoder should be able to beat a H/W one. I personally don't have issues using MPlayer or stock.
Dice and MX Player. Dice can pla some videos on H/W that MX can't.
I used a few kernels and roms and never had issues with mxplayer. The thing is you have to turn on in options h/w+ (so u have 3 ways to play your video h/w, h/w+ and s/w), then turn it once in top right corner while playing movie. I mostly run mkv 720p files.
Yes i am using hw+ in mx player.. I also use bs pleyer with the neon cpu plugin. I will try another movie and dice player and report.. Thanks.
Edit: i tried dice player and works flawlessly with hw! Also i tried again mx and seems to be working better...

I use MX Player without hw+ enabled on stock, unrooted Android 4.2.2, haven't noticed lag, and I play 1080p trailers all the time. If you really want to stress it, here's a 1440p trailer you can try out (third link, which they incorrectly label as 2560p). That video drops frames like crazy if I don't use hardware decoding, but plays fine with it. Better than my HOX+, which just plays the audio and drops the video altogether.
I wanted to find a video that would actually use the full resolution of my Nexus 10 and that's the only one I found that comes close. :laugh:

I use MX Player without hw+ enabled on stock, unrooted Android 4.2.2, haven't noticed lag, and I play 1080p trailers all the time.
