I use Resco's Pocket Radio -- sometimes to listen to streaming music before bed, sometimes just for its sleep timer, while listening to music in Windows Media Player.
Way back when, there was a PHM Power Toy that gradually faded WMP then turned the device off, which was perfect. But those apps haven't been updated in years.

Best converter for Touch HD with subtitles - WMP/Album

After more than 10 converters, I finally found one perfect.
Only thing what it doesnt have is 2pass option, but thats not a big problem.
total video converter 3.14
first : It is not freeware (who cares ? ) .
inputs :
[Support Files]
All=All Support files|*.m3u; *.cda; *.avi; *.dat; *.3gp; *.f4v;*.qt; *.mov; *.mpg; *.mpeg; *.m1v; *.wmv; *.asf; *.ogm; *.mkv; *.dsm; *.vob; *.mp4; *.ra; *.rm; *.ram; *.amr; *.3gp; *.3gp2; *.3g2; *.3gpp; *.swf; *.flv; *.fli; *.flc; *.rmvb; *.gif; *.mp3; *.wma; *.ac3; *.wav; *.aac; *.aiff; *.au; *.mp2; *.m4v; *.m4a; *.mmf; *.awb; *.flac; *.dv; *.ape; *.mpc; *.cin; *.ts|

Looks like enoght. I only need .avi I tried .mkv but it has problems with sound. Dont know if it is problem of program or of my computer.
- You can set a lot of containers and codecs
-you can set your bitrate and other things, resolution, pad etc.
-you can burn in subtitles, it supports many formats like .srt and .sub and few more like .ass lol

about 3rd picture : dont press activate high quality settings. If I did, my encoding crashed when started.
about 4th picture : I put 800*440 because of aspect ratio and I want to play it in Album. If you want to play in WMP, you got 2 ways :
1.) stretch it to 800x480
2.) set 800x480 but also set pad 20 bottom and 20 top, so your aspect ratio will be same as input.
I prefer this program because of .srt subtitles support. If you dont need subtitles, then you can choose from many converters. I would suggest handbrake which is free and also has 2pass option.

I get superior results to MP4, if I:
Select Pocket Player -> iPhone -> iPhone AVC H264
Select "iPhone H264 high quality" from the drop-down menu
Push "Settings" link and set:
Audio to double channel 128 kbits/sec​Video to 1024 kbits/sec​
And happy converting
Very smooth playback (in WMP), virtually no compression artifacting (blocky ****, which is what you get going through just MP4, apperantly MP4 is not the same as iPhone MP4). Currently trying to find the limit of kbits/sec on the video, 1500 is just a little too much, get choppy playback, 1024 is just too little, get very minor blockiness.
Hope this helps and love to have some feedback.

nice
Thank you
Nice tool !!

I really got to say million thanks to you!!!!!! And I finally found a perfect video converter for everything!!!! It is truly H264 converter, and the quality is absolutely good!!

Subtitles not displaying in HDMI

Like the title states. I tried dice player,.mobo, etc. Anyone know of a fix?
Btw movie is mkv if it matters.
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using Tapatalk

honestly, I do not understand your problem:
-subtitles are displayed correctly on-screen and not on the TV via HDMI ?
-subtitles (inside MKV containers) are not displayed at all, neither on-screen nor on TV?
have you tried external subtitles?

What I mean is, on the a500 the subs are displayed, on the TV they aren't present.
I tried BSplayer in software decoding mode, which worked, but video was very slow & out of sync with audio.
I tried external subs with bsplayer, no success.

hello, i had the same issue because the HDMI output is somehow a cropped version of the tablet display. the Lower part is cropped and hence subtitle are not displayed on the TV. Good news is there is a trick to overcome this issue: if you use mx video player there is an option to resyncrhonize the subtitle. when you use this options subtitles are displayed a bit higher in the frame and are not cropped out any more on the TV display. Hope this will help.

The subtitles are definitely not being cropped. I can see the full picture on the monitor & tablet.. Here's a pic:

Could you please post step-by-step instructions to turn on subtitle re-synchronization? I think I found it but it's not working so I want to make sure.

hello
yes i can see on your photo that sub title are not cropped out so my trick will not help you
here it is though (work for me with srt sub titles)
open you video in mx video player
click on top right menu icon
select sub title menu entry
"voila" sub title are now shifted up in the display.

I just flashed back to Thor's honeycomb ROM v14.2, this subtitle bug is not present so it was an ICS issue. hopefully when Thor incorporates the leaked drivers & etc into his build of ics, these issues will be fixed.
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using Tapatalk

after the ICS update I got the same problem: subtitles are not dipayed on the TV (via HDMI)
I think it's an ICS issue. It's soo frustrating: one step forward, two steps back.
any known workarounds?

It's a known bug. Please vote(star).
Same issue across all players on Asus TF700T / ICS and H/W decoding.

I am amazed - Kudos!. :good:
I tried to like walkman but the bare-bone appz interface makes it impossible even to organise a playlist.

Usb-C Dac gain control without root - tutorial

Tutorial
Using Neutron player and it’s custom Usb driver to play Google music.
Requirements:
Neutron player
Bubble Player
Working tethering if you are not in a wifi zone.
Rational:
The current android usb-c audio driver defaults to max digital gain of the dongle, causing higher distortion than if it was set to a lower gain. The Pixel Gain control app addresses this. If you have root, this is the way to go.
If not rooted, there is a bit of a workaround that will be discussed here.
Basically we are going to use Bubble player to expose the Google music library/playlist for Neutron player serving as the front end. Neutron will play DLNA streams and will see Bubble as such.
Advantage-custom Usb driver to minimize distortion and allow custom sample rates not available in android (Pixel at least) such as 44.1 or 96 Khz if the Dac supports it.
All the great features of Neutron-up to 20 band parametric equalizer, crossfeed, surround.
Disadvantage- cumbersome workaround, you will lose headset non music audio while the Neutron driver is active (system notification, ringtones, phone).
Install both apps.
It is best if you have some playlists in Google music or radio stations already set up.
Bubble setup:
Enable local media server and advertise on lan.

Under Google music, enable + remote browsing.
Under Cloud, Google Music- refresh and choose playlists.
Set media volume ¾ of the way up in settings.
Open Neutron
Audio hardware:
Choose generic driver, not 32 bit out, Direct USB Driver
Tap on Direct Usb driver and make sure Volume control is off.
Choose follow source frequency
Go to Sources
Hit the + button
Choose DLNA:
Choose Bubble
Choose Stations
Choose Playlists
Hit the check button
Back out to Neutron Playlist menu
Here they are
Choose a playlist and start playing.
Go to the gain/equalizer screen.
Note the Dac setting bar on the right. That is the way to adjust the Usb Dac. Keep the slider less than 2/3 down from the top if possible.
Keep android volume high to compensate:
After a quit/reboot, you need to be on a wifi or hotspot, restart Bubble, open Neutron, go to sources. It may also be necessary to repeat the process of adding the DLNA server and all that follows
You may need to refresh the Google playlist/files from Bubble if anything changes in your Gmusic.
Proof of concept
Elimination of distortion playing a streamed 1kHz sine from Google on line, with Neutron:
Stock:
Neutron driver:
I am probably forgetting a fair amount of detail.
Will add to instructions as needed.

I guess it is worth mentioning, the only way to change the volume is via Replay Gain button. Maybe I pressed something wrong, but changing volume with a button does nothing.
I also could not find and do "Set media volume ¾ of the way up in settings." in BubbleUPNP. Any chance you can point this out.

The volume slider on the equalizer screen controls the Dac gain. I thought that the volume rocker would handle the Android volume but it doesn't appear to.
Let me speak to the developer for clarification.
Thanks.

I was interested in using the pixel dongle both for portable use and for travel from a laptop. Is the digital gain controllable from windows / linux? Is it simply the volume on that device, or something else? How about forcing selection between 3 impedance modes?

You can't force the voltage change to my knowledge, it depends on the headset impedance. If you are using linux, then you can adjust the digital gain with Alsa (that's what I do in my app on the Pixel).
You won't find a better Dac at this price either.

Nice, would love to find a way to do it on Windows as well. I'll look around as well
