Hi everyone,
When I play 720p.BluRay.X264 mkv file on my Galaxy S2 there is no sound. I tried the integrated player, mVideoPlayer and MoboPlayer. The sound track on MoboPlayer is shown as 1:6CH, 48000Hz. Do I need any audio codec to play the video with sound or there is nothing I can do to whatch theese files on my new Galaxy S2? Thanks for your answers in advance.
there is a test done before for mkv files playback..
dice player plays it the best..

Thanks sumeshd,
Unfortunately it is a trial version and not free. Do you know free player that will play the audio?
Check if it has DTS audio, the S2 has some trouble playing DTS audio. You should probably convert the audio to AAC or get video files that don't use DTS.
Yep, its probably DTS audio, in which case Diceplayer is what you need. Its well worth the price I think.

Most likely the audio-stream is encoded with DTS, which isn´t supported by the Galaxy S II.
It can play AAC, MP3 or AC3.

You can´t install any media-codecs on Android, like you can do it in Windows.
Obviously mediaplayers can bring their own decoders, but this means decoding on the CPU, which is slow and eats much more battery-power.
So it is best to encode the audio-stream in one of the supported formats
Thanks everyone. I will purchase Dice Player, tested and the audio works great.
Lol, but dice player is lagging... tried to watch another movie with dice player.. it lagged again

You mean video and audio is not synchronous?
That´s because, it plays video and audio separately. Basically the Player uses the media-framework to play the video without sound, so it can use the DSP.
Then it plays the sound separately, using a built in software-decoder.
This most likely also means reading the file twice, although some caching maybe prevents the need to actually read it twice from the permanent storage.
So it is a quite inefficient way to play the video. The player doesn´t know the internal timings of the media-framework, so it doesn´t really know when to play the audio. But most players should allow to set a custom audio-delay.
It is also possible that there simply isn´t enough CPU-power left to do the decoding in software.

could you post your movie file info? and what is the diceplayer's version?
There are some known problems to play HD MKVs.
1. 24bit Flac Audio is not supported
2. microsd card class ( transfer rate ) issue.
3. Wrong MKV time stamp issue.

i think that lag is not sync problem.
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
I have tried the default video player but it cannot play .mkv movies with DTS sound track.
I can see the video part of the movie but so sound can be heard.
Is there a solution to this or do I have to convert my .mkv movies?
Edit: Actually DicePlayer and MX Player can play .mkv movies with DTS sound track.

Shouldn't this be in the Q&A section?
use mx video player , it worked perfect when I played 1080p mkv /w dts video.
Dice Player does this too (and is a better player for the Tab 7.7 overall with better hardware decoding, not much in it though so pick whichever).

Just wondering what makes you think dice has better hardware decoding. I have not tried Dice yet but i have not run into a single problem with mx video player

On my Note and Galaxy Nexus some files don't play smoothly with mx player (they are very watchable, just not perfect like with Dice Player).
Glad to see you here NZ... Haven't try the video part thoroughly... Anyway, MX is still good for me as of now... Thanks for the input about Dice...
You can also try BSPlayer.
I found this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vDN-RilC1k
It can also play my AVCHD camera files. (.mts)
One BIG problem is that the player can't play from my ntfs formatted sdxc card.
(Dice+ Mx works)
I have all three installed, but I usually use Dice.
I am having mixed results on my 7.7 - vids with DTS stored on the SD card play nicely when using MX player when the audio stream is set to SW.
However, when the same videos are accessed over the network they are choppy if they play at all. Anyone else experiencing this? I've done some network analysis and the wifi isn't being maxed out or anything.
Maybe I'll start a new thread on this.

@sladey,
There is another thread "wifi connections" that documents some slow streaming prob.
I had to experiment with wifi-g to wifi-n (both 2.4 & 5.0 ghz) to get a steady stream.
No fixed answer at moment as all above settings still hv some intermittent stutter.
Try wifi-g and slowly move up speed.
Cheers

What version Exactly?
MX Video Player v1.6f. You'll have to google for the apk as it's an old version that supported DTS software decoding prior to it being pulled.
yeah I tried them and they aren't supported on jellybean so I got diceplayer and used the special codec file and I can playback my 15GB .mkv's with DTS with no problem even running the cpu at 300mhz on my note 2 it plays back flawlessly on my 64gb ntfs microsd card. So it's DicePlayer that does it for JellyBean.
I appreciate your help though.
Since a bought the MHL adapter 2.0 (11 pins) from Samsung I have been trying to replace my WD TV mediaplayer by playing movies through the phone instead but every 1080p mkv file I try to play is choppy.
Players I have used are:
VLC player Beta
Diceplayer
BSplayer
Archos Player Pro
MXplayer
MoboPlayer Pro
None seems to work, my reference mkv file is:
"Escape.Plan.2013.1080p.BluRay.DTS-HD.MA.7.1.x264"
Size: 11.9 GB
Video: 1920x800
Bitrate: 9497 kbps (x264 [email protected])
Audio: English DTS-HD MA 7.1 Ch 5046 kbps
Thanks in advance!
From my experience DTS files have problems with playback as they are a proprietary codec. Try to find a 1080p version with AC3 audio.
Also, did you download the extra codecs on mx player?

I dled a mkv with ac-3. It lagged on BSplayer but not on Archors so I will stick with that for now. Just going to take time to replace all those with DTS
Thanks for the help.
You should download mx player codecs. Just go in the options menu within mx player and there should be an option to download them directly to the device. Once you download the codecs even dts should work

Hi
You may don't know but AC3 sound is not supported any more even via MX player. With this guide anyone can fix the AC3 sound issue.
