Some questions about DLNA

Hi guys, I have some questions about DLNA on GalaxyS.
I have the device that you can find in my signature.
I use the DLNA withTv-out to see films on my 37'' FullHd Tv, but I noticed some problems, hope that you can help me to solve them.
The player does not open MKV files.
The player does not keep the aspect ratio of the films. 16:9 videos have no problems, but the 2.39.1 (2.40) movies are distorted
If these problems can't be solved with the standard player (there aren't aspect ratio options, instead the classic video player of the SGS) there are better players that can replace the standard one?
Thanks

I think these are the very annoying limitations of dlna. You have to use avi afaik, i'm not sure about mp4 though.

Uhm, i don't understand what is "avi afaik". Should i convert the mkv films?

afaik - as far as I know
avi is container for audio video, like mkv

Aaaah sorry
DLNA supports all kind of codecs under avi (divx, mpeg4, etc) but not MKV.
I think that there is no solution about this problem

Actually I think it is a limitation of the tv set. Because the other day I went to bestbuy infront of the television section. Fired up dlna and found tons of tv sets there to use it with.
Long story short I had a 720 mkv video of tottenham vs real madrid and was able to play it on a LG tv. As a matter of fact everything was able to play on the lg tv. But on samsung only avi's was allowed to play video.

Video Player that can play .wmv

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.

The VLC Media player is now available on the play store for android
It Can play every video format.
Hope this will help u

Video player?

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.

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

Actually our galaxy y is able to play mp4 format type videos,but I am thinking why they are not playing on your sgy......
Sent from my GT-S5360

best thing to do? convert the video and audio to SGY and also screen resolution, you can get the most of it by doing that

our devices can play mp4 with max resolution of 640x360 and max framerate of 25. use mx player to play other resolution videos and to reduce the fast or slow audio select sw decoder for audio which comes up on top right corner while playing the video

try mxplayer it will play all file types

Sgy plays mp4 only if tge resolution of the 360p or 480p...any higher than that and it wont work
U could try other players from the market to try it out
I recommend
1)Mobo Player with the armv6 codec
2)Mx player with an armv6 codec
If these two cant play the video...u probably have to download the video in a lower resolution

okay okay

The galaxy y cannot play video encoded in mp4 x264 - It will play but the video is very laggy
solutions
1- Find or convert to xvid avi format
2- Use cm7 and enable hardware acceleration in mx player (does not work for every video and definitely not on stock/stock based)

There are two common type of videos
1- avi encoded with xvid
This plays fine on galaxy y with mx player
2- mp4 encoded with x264
This will not play on stock based roms without lag
You can use CM7 roms and then enable hardware acceleration in mx player but due to limited hardware libs for this device it will not work for every video

Use mobo player, download it and the amrv6 codec in play store.
Sorry for bad english

I suggest you to download Mobo player and its codec on play store or else download Rockplayer2 from play store Rock player2 can load your phones compatible codec inside his APK.

Can i refer everyone to my post above
It doesn't matter what player you use - result will be the same
convert the video to avi encoded with xvid if you need to play on phone but you will need to use a pc to do it - would take days to convert via our phone

Have you tried to wipe cache or data or format your phone ? i think ur problem is ur phone.. try uninstall other app that contains to much memory .. or clearing ram before playing can do also.

Does anyone read my posts
it's impossible to play high definition videos encoded with x264 on galaxy y without lag although some may play a little smoother on cm7 with hardware acceleration turned on in mx player but due to limited hardware libs it doesn't work for all videos
you can try every video player in the world it's not going to make any difference
the only video type galaxy y can play smoothly is avi encoded in xvid & non hd video eg low res mp4 not encoded with x264 3gp mpeg
so convert the video if you want to play on phone or see if there is an avi xvid alternative
