I tried a bunch of video player and the stock player. My mkv files play fine without any sound. they all have sound on my Note 10.1... any ideas? I didn't expect this
P/S: just found the solution. issue solved with BSplayer... meh I didn't expect this at all. Samsung note tablet can play everything nicely tho.
Having the same issue and experimenting now, so far neither SD or HD h264 mkvs are playing nice through hardware decoding (I either only get software with sound on a low frame rate or hardware with smooth frame rate and no sound). My guess is we are going to have to wait for some folks more talented then myself to put together a custom kernel/codecs to get things running properly.
Edit: tried bsplayer solution, it works decent enough for now, playing 720p mkv smooth enough (around 28fps) with software decoding, sure that's going to eat battery but great workaround in the meantime

Keep in mind that Samsung has the best native codec support of any Android vendor, and will pay the licensing fees for those codecs to be installed on their proprietary devices like the Note or Tab or GS line.
Stock Android as found on the N10 is 100% open source, and Google doesn't necessarily pay for third-party codec support, they leave that to the end user and third-party applications to deal with.
NO PROBLEM (Hakuna Matata), just download BS PLAYER, it plays everything, if the sound is a little bit low for you, then purchase the BS PLAYER PRO version , it increases the sound by 200%.....
I rooted and installed MXPlayer with DTS libs. 1080p MKVs with DTS works great.
Now I wait for CIFS, OTG, and XBMC.

VLC.
How about MX Player? It's what I use primarily for .mkv videos, and it seems to work nicely, in my experience anyway.

MX Player is usually my go-to player, but it does not decode DTS audio due to licensing restrictions. VLC does decode DTS audio, which is why I suggested it. If you are in the USA you have to download the nightly version from the site since it's blocked on the Play Store.

Google Play videos do not play via HDMI cable to my TV. They play fine on the tablet screen, but not via HDMI. All other videos play fine via , e.g., YouTube, Netflix, Crackle, etc. Even my first tablet (Vizio) works fine via HDMI with Google Play videos. Anyone else having this issue? Yes, my TVs are all HDCP compliant.
Same Issue
I'm having the same issue and can not for the life of me find any information on it. It worked fine prior to 4.2.1 but now it just shows as loading regardless of the media being located on the device or coming from Google's servers.
First no Miracast and now this?
I guess I wont be updating to 4.2.1 just yet then as its working fine on my n10. Stock non rooted.

This has been a issue with every tablet I've had. I've been told that they don't play out of the HDMI out for security and licensing reasons.

Have you tried playing previews from the play store bazbazbaz? Through the HDMI out that is
Both of the free movies I've had (Transformers: DOTM and Ice Age) play fine via HDMI. I've not purchased or rented any other content so I can't comment further than that.
I'm on rooted 4.2.1, but it works fine unrooted too.
I've noticed though that the previews play as a mirrored screen, whereas the actual movies play as an additional external display with the tablet display having the video controls on.
I'm in the UK if it helps at all; not sure if its worth tracking to see if it's an issue only affecting certain countries?

I tested last night and have the same issue, I can mirror just fine, but when I get the "HDMI Screen" page for Google Play videos it just stays there with the spinner and won't play.
Can those of you who have this working chime in on this one; Do you guys have your bootoaders "locked"?
The only difference I can see is that I'm rooted (others say it works for them rooted), modified kernel (anyone else?) and my bootloader is still unlocked.
I'll make a Nandroid backup tonight and relock to see if that has any effect.
My television (Samsung 46" LED) is most certainly HDCP compliant. I do have the tablet connected to the ARC (Audio Return Channel) which could potentially be an issue, but I'll swap that later too, just to make sure.
Darn
anyone able to shed any light on this? I have relocked and temp unroot but nothing, it just completely refuses to play while HDMI is connected, it just still is at a page that says "HDMI Screen" with a spinner and a picture of a TV and that is it.
Just to make it worse, the latest update to YouTube won't let you full screen a video while HDMI is connected. You have to full screen it then plug HDMI in to get full screen.
I am 100% stock and unable to play anything out of the play store on my n10, however I still have my transformer infinity around and that is able to so I don't think it's a play store issue...

I purchased an episode of a TV show from the Playstore. It won't play on my TV either. Everything played fine on my old Acer Iconia. Now I purchase an actual Google device and it doesn't work?
It plays on my tablet, but the instant I plug the hdmi cable into the tablet it goes to some "hdmi" screen and won't play. Has anyone found a fix for this? Google support was useless. Their only suggestion was to download instead of stream. Neither works. Very disappointing because my "old eyes" enjoy things much better on my 46" TV as opposed to my tablet.

Agreed, still no fix found here, but I absolutely refuse to buy or rent anything until I know I can play it on my 46" TV. It's just obsurd.
I'll keep my fingers crossed for a fixed in the next Android release, otherwise I'll just forget Google Play movies exists entirely.
I just wish I knew of a player that would full screen my own content on the TV then it wouldn't be an issue.

Didn't see a post with this, this is the main reason I backed the ouya.

Not a big deal, even my Galaxy Nexus with the XBMC hardware accelerated test build stream 720p over UPnP smoothly. I went ahead and bought an MK808 stick, but might get an Ouya when it's released for better hardware and quality control.
Sent from XDA app
Cool video. This is my main reason for buying the OUYA as XBMC is the only way I have found to stream movies to my kids PC while preserving the DVD menus and subtitles. I would rather my 6, 8 and 10 year old sons not handle my DVDs directly so I store all their movies on a 3TB hdd... can't wait for this to get in in June.
Awesome to have xbmc, that will go great with an external HD for offline media. I wonder if a usb DVD or Blueray will work in the OUYA?
I am interesting in OUYA because it has a slim body. I dont want to play video game on it. The only thing I want to do is to play movie. I have a lot of movies stored in my laptop. The current way that I use is to connect my laptop to HDTV by HDMI. Can OUYA replace my current method? I can play 720P movie(MKV or RMVB) on my cellphone(Galaxy note 2). Ouya has the same equipment(Tegra3 with 1.7G). So I think it can play 720P movie smoothly like my cellphone. Did anyone here try playing moive on OUYA?
Yes the ouya plays 720p movies well. I use xbmc at the time. I was thinking about the ouya or the raspberry pi and I am glad I bought the ouya. The ouya, for my use and purposes, is an awesome media center. The internal storage is small but it has a usb port. Xbmc has support for a network attached storage (nas) which is what I use. The ouya also has the added benefit of games. For only $99.99, I recommend the ouya for your current situation. It also has low power usage and it is highly portable.

if you want to use your ouya exclusively as mediacenter you can start xbmc with a autorun-app, don't know what it's called tho.
only culprit is that the button layout isnt quite optimal when using ouya controller but i'm using my cellphone with yatse installed and as a media-solution this couldn't be any better.
not only 720p but even 1080P movies (shared from my nas) are being played like a charm and if you*'e into 3D the ouya should be able to handle most formats, too...but didn't try that, since my tv doens't support it

Ouya can play 1080P movie? It sounds great. My laptop doesn't support 1080P very well. Not smooth. If ouya really can play 1080P movie(MKV) smoothly,it really exceeds my expectations.

i didn't have any issues with fullhd-mkvs yet. for all i know there are some culprits with surround sound, but didn't notice anything major up to now.
you can without any problem plug your sd card reader/usb-harddrive/etc to your ouya. the device will be mounted to /media/usb
if you want you could even use a dvd-drive for your ouya, as long as you are willing to compile the needed module for your kernel.
didn't try it yet, but atrix with tegra 2 was able to do this, so ouya with tegra 3 should be able, too

Short answer: Better get an raspberry pi with Openelec.
Longer Answer:
yes, i do have 2 and did use one as mediaplayer using mostly XBMC (connected to a linux fileserver) at my home and using it with VLC when beeing at my girlfriends place with an 2TB HD.
Unluckily i really cant recommend it atm because the XBMC version for android/ouya is still lacking CEC support, means you cant use your TVs remote for controlling it and it cant do AC3 audio passthrough over HDMI (if i remember correctly). The XBMC for android still cant play a lot of movie files my Raspberry PI does play without problems. Therefore it makes a much better media player if its ok for one to not use the most fancy XBMC Skins. (I recommend Bello Skin)
In addition to this the Ouya lacks support for direct flashing and a lot of poeple find the companies politics highly questionable. The not acceptance of the last TOS locked my Ouya Console completely and not just the market. Its softbricked now. It has been sold as an "open" project but turns out to be as closed as "a nuns arse". Therefore its unluckily unlikely that we will see an Openelec port for the Ouya. Someone did port Debian to Ouya so there might be a solution using Debian and XBMC but AFAIK there are not all drivers and libs working atm.
ยจ
cheers,
Tycho
Dont mean to be rude but i dont think you are objektive here.
I dont know what files you are unable to play but i am using mine a lot for Multimedia and didnt have any issues with audio at all. I know that some special dts Formats are incompatible for now.
Surly there are some things about ouya that many of us don't like but that's not the point here. Some are codec support and cec which are still under construction and might always be, but seriously: raspberry?
I really wouldn't want to have such a laggy interface and long folder loading times.
If you really want sth fully compatible with all major Codecs and cec and so on get a finished product like little black box or sth similar. Else be happy to have sth. to tinker with.

Losing faith if I'm honest. I have been giving this project my backing because it seemed to have an enthusiastic following.
I'm not sure there is the focus on the issues that matter to ME, I'm not sure how many people wanted this little box specifically for XBMC but I suspect it was a few. I know the DTS/AC3 issue is an XBMC problem and nothing to do with OUYA but the several other little niggles that affect it are not being addressed.
I think I am going to sell it, I am done waiting for it.. the time multi audio is comming if it even is comming the ouya will be old. The lack of support and community is the other reason.
Sent from my HTC One S using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Ok what I experienced so far is this :
Normally I have my ouya plugged into my TV which is set up to pass aby audio signal through to my home cinema center via optical output. There I never had any issues up to now. Lately I had plugged the ouya into the TV of our bedroom and with xbmc I get audio issues as well.
But vlc and I guess plex as well are able to play ball those files without any issue.
So i guess it's also up to your setup which audio technologies are supported.

I use xbmc on ouya and I have dts and DD passthrough at least on my sony 5.1 home theater. It seems that it depend also from your home theater and/or TV as if you connect the ouya directly to TV and TV doesn't have audio pass through, it will work only analog 2 channel audio.
Good to see someone agreeing to my experiences.

Really? Xbmc on ouya can decode DTS and output 5.1 channels to home theater? I saw a lot of people complained of decoding DTS failure. Be honest, I am frustrated when I saw these comments, because I just ordered one from Amazon and I have a lot of 720P DTS MKV movies. My original thoughts is that connecting ouya to 5.1 home theater. I did saw ouya can output 2.0 or 5.1 surround sound effects on their website. Hoping XBMC V13 could be more perfect.
For some ppl it is working indeed, by switching of amp and turn it on again.
But not for everyone... When I try it I just get same static noise as before...
I never had 5.1 working whatever I tried.
Tried several options in xbmc but it would not change anything

Ouya can decode DTS mkv, I just tested it and my home theater received a PCM audio stream (analog settings on xbmc audio output) and then tested the same mkv with digital signal pass through to my home theater (digital HDMI audio output in xbmc settings) that decoded it fine.
Only thing is that if ouya decode the DTS signal, I have PCM 2 channels audio, if my home theater decode it, I have DTS 5.1 channels audio (my HT is only 5.1).
For the records, I use xbmc 13.0 alpha6 from july 14 2013.

You get static noise because your ouya is passing through the digital signal to your TV or HT to decode the signal. And clearly your receiver is not able to decode the audio stream. You have to change the audio setting output of xbmc to "analog" in order to let xbmc decode it before sending it out to your TV or HT.
