Any of you experience some Distortion or blockyness in HEVC playback
It plays smoothly but I see a lot of Big pixels on the screen here is a comparaison between my NP and VLC on my macbook.

It's totally watchable but not perfect like it could be.
Could a custom rom or a revert to Lolipop fix this since the decoding is software ?
I tried MX Player, Kodi and VLC on the NexusPlayer with the exact same result.

Hello,
I have been trying to watch some TV episodes that I have put onto my Streak in an AVI format but the framerate is horrible. The video is really laggy and it's unwatchable. Just in case it matters, I am running DJ_Steve's 1.4.6 on my white streak.
-Edit: I have tried Rockplayer and when I try and select hardware decoding it gives me an error message of "this file cannot be played with system player."
Any suggestions?
Use Rockplayer, but enable software decoding.
Rockplayer works fine on mine on 2.2... and Most of my AVI's are 720p quality
Wouldn't I get better framerates from hardware decoding?
avi is container file type. and results may depend on what was used to encode it. divx, xvid, mpeg. some people will be able to watch 1080p videos with no problem while others struggle with 240p. i dont think the streak has a decoder chip to do hardware decoding. ill have to look that one up.
Put the newest build i could find for this guy. Bought him off ebay for a cool 135 free shipping and has turned out to be amazing. Using him with my old Tzones plan running NexusHD2-ICS-4.0.4-CM9-HWA.
Everything runs great except videos. If I am streaming an MP4 its like an 80% chance the file will just be green and blurred like scrambled cable. Sometimes it will play just fine. Even crappy 240p files will be green in both the regular android player and MX Player.
Now I'm trying to see which type of 720p files the phone can play. After a couple of handbrake encodes it will play the 720p in MX Player but it will be frame ratey. The stock player wont even touch the file.
I check the decoding options in MX Video and only software decoding is enabled. Is there an ICS build capable of playing videos with Hardware Decoding.
Your thoughts guys !

Tried with Mobo Player and still the same error.

Install MX Player and install the Armv7 addon for MX Player (it will be in the related apps or something in the play store) and use software decoding. I have also found 720p playback to be atrociously laggy, but I tried Inception at 480p and it plays great.
Installed and it definitely seems to be working with the green videos but 720p seems like a no go...
Is it the rom or is it the phone ?

Hmm, 720p playback is usually listed as a working thing but I don't see how NexusHD2 is in any way inferior to the other ROMs, it definitely has a comparable performance.
Has anyone had any luck in playing H265 on their Nexus Player?
I am using the stock ROM with KODI 14.2rc and H265 content is unwatchable. I thought I'd ask around here before trying the Lollipop ROM and other versions of KODI in case this was a known issue.
is it the x86 build of kodi? because only the x86 build will play h.265/hevc., the arm build just can't (the same goes for h.264). oh - and you'll need to be using software decoding, not hardware decoding.
i've been able to play hevc completely fine on my np. i'm running 14.1 x86 stable.
Few media players online can afford H.265 directly. You'd better encode H.265 into H.264 mp4 first so that you can play the videos.
Works for me
I just tried an H.265 video on my stock NP today using Kodi Isengard (15.2). Worked great!
MX Player works. I recommend you google to download the all in one codec zip file to use with it.
Oos version: oreo open beta 3
I'm trying to play a x265 mkv video but there is random micro stutters everywhere.
I've tried mx player, xplayer and vlc. Vlc works best but some minor stuttering is still there.Any solutions?
Have you tried to use the HW+ converter on MX Player?
The fact that you are using a beta software, I would flash the a rom with stock 5.0.1 and stock kernel to test. It could be a bad rom+kernel combo.
Also test with other x265 MKV videos as well (as in from a different source entirely).
i have a 4k h265 hevc video that i;m trying to play, but it doesnt work. using MX player, and it only works in SW but that means it is very veyr laggy and choppy.
HW and HW+ doesnt work. does anyone have this issue?
is there a special codec i have to install?
thanks!

Supposedly it does support 4K playback at main profile.
Qualcomm's marketing does say yes.
I don't have any content so I'm not sure about codecs an players.
