I've asked this q. earlier in the ROM thread, before we got a separate forum, but didn't get any answer, so I'll try now in a dedicated thread.
I have a problem with some (not all) videos playback on Folio (foliomod 1.3b). Some videos don't play audio in standard media player or toshiba media player.
GSpot says audio in these videos are encoded as 0x2000 (Dolby AC3) AC3 - 48000Hz 384 kb/s tot , 6 chnls (3/2 .1). Video codec is XviD ISO MPEG-4.
I installed Rockplayer and when I try to play those videos in Hardware mode, they don't have audio as well. In Software decoding mode I do have audio, but video playback seems a bit 'creepy-crawly'/laggy.
I also tried several other video/media players from the Market, but none of them can reproduce audio in those video files.
kaivish had a remark about video playback earlier, I don't know if it's relevant:
but if u will use the folio for regular media playing like me, it might be better to reduce the dalvik cache to 32MB.
i have tested using rock player, and with current 64MB cache, it laggs and seeking is not working in both hardware and software decoding. there are audio issues as well with that kind of huge dalvik cache. but putting it down to 32M makes everything more fluid and media playback is at its best IMHO.

If yes, would changing dalvik cache help me with audio in these videos? And how do I change it?
I have the no sound problem too with rockplayer!
I didn't had it with the other foliomod editions, i think its software related?
I play my movies in hardware mode (it's better for the battery as far as I know..)
The wierd thing is, after restart I do get sound sometime, also I sometimes get sound after a couple of seconds.

Sound issues come from the cache size. Like I am quoted above, u have to tweak the folio to your personal use. For me those numbers work best.

Changing dalvik cache will increase performance of already supported codec videos. Some codecs are not really supported and they might play but will have video and audio issues. It will not matter what cache size you have if the codec is not really supported on tegra2 platform.

thanks for reply.
So the answer is that we can't do anything about it?
I mean, on Windows you can install any codecs you like. Can the same be done on Android?
If the only possibility is to use Software mode in Rockplayer, then dalvik cache can help make it not so laggy, can't it? How do you change dalvik cache in Android?
Sorry for stupid questions, I'm not an advanced programmer.
It may also help other users, I hope.

I am no advanced dev either. you can use a free app called vmheap on the android market. In android, there are no codecs pack which is installable, the codec needs to be built in support. So the answer is that nothing can be done, just optimise currently supported codec playback.
Hope that helps you.
Perhaps our best bet is to wait for CoreCodec to release their Android player CorePlayer which should have support for Tegra. I got an email yesterday saying that they are demoing their software including the CorePlayer for Android at CES.
So perhaps we do not have to wait that long.
On another note, I just saw a video on Engadget showing Toshibas next tablet and in that video they demoed an application which scales up sd video to HD...
Here's the link to the video.
thanks, mddsd. Let us know if you hear anything about the android coreplayer. I used that program on my old windows mobile 6.5 phone and it was very good.
kaivish, thanks for explanations. I tried that app and changed from 64 to 32, but didn't see any difference in software mode playback in Rockplayer. Audio is there, but picture doesn't move very smoothly. So, dalvik cache is probably not a solution for this particular problem.
Another option could be the announced VLC player that seems to be in development vlc have always been known to be able to play alot of video/audio formats out of the box

I saw an interesting youtube clip about the LG Optimus 2x which has the same Tegra 2 SOC as the Folio.
The LG had an app which could force the resolution output on the HDMI port to e.g. 1080p, 720p, 576p, 480p or do it automatically based on content. This is something we should have for the Folio.
I just read some interesting news, LG showed off their Optimus 2X phone (which has Tegra 2) at a press event in Sweden. According to the site www.swedroid.se which was at the event, LG demoed the phone playing a movie in H264 1080p in the container MKV. So perhaps LG has a player which can use the Tegra 2 chip and play MKV in 1080p... The playback was smooth according to the article.

lets have the firmware, then we get the pleasure of the functions
i'm still waiting for new mobile devices and the XOOM tablet to appear..
The other tegra2 tablets are pretty much chinese made tablet, and those are pretty similar in code, so not much to share between those.
So let the revolution of new tegra's come and we probably get better codec's and nice new features maybe..

I have a SE x10 mini wich has a MSM7227 processor, wich is ARMv6 VFP CPU with Adreno 200 GPU. Like HTC Legend, and some other phones.
I've tried rockplayer, vplayer and moboplayer (in all versions when other build than arm6 vfp was aviable) and I have this problem:
1. If I use normal hardware decoding, the video does not play (blank screen) and the audio sounds bad and plays like 3 times faster.
2. If I use software decoding, the video and sound plays, but synchronization is lost and the framerate is not smooth.
Tested with several normal avi (xvid mp3) files.
download vital player..its really good u can also try qq player..both r free and available on market..
Thanks.
qqplayer lags too. Vital Player works, keeps audio and video synchronized, but has some framerate issues.
Any other options?
It seems to be a problem with your decoding when you convert your videos. The absolut best thing to do is to use Format Factory and use the preset for iPhone. Then just modify the pre-setting a little regarding screensize and boost the framrate a little. When it´s converted into *.mp4 it will run fine even on the mini´s stock player.

What folder do you have to put the videos to be listed in the default player?
I have my videos in a folder called "video" on my SD. I´m not sure if I made the folder myself or if my player made it...

Thanks. It's true, it plays really smooth. Another thing I've noticed is that a lot of video players creates artifacts, like scanlines. I think it is because the qvga resolution.
XY plays smooth and cristal clear. Vital player is the second best, with some framerate drops and artifacts. I really hate the XY interface, but it works, so...

Meridian player is my favourite both for in 2.1 and 2.2 ROMs, stable to both firmwire, and a click on the power button will turn the screen off, and thus we don't have to convert those mp4 files into mp3 format to listen to.
but the recent update is NOT good. it just adds ad... So I have to downgrade it manually to get grid of those annoying ad.
QQ Player is good too to save battery life by lowering the video quality, who care decoding 720p video in such a tiny screen, no I don't ;-)
Rock Player for V6 ARM processor was used to be my beloved, but it's NO LONGER a freeware, so I gave it up.
Hope these may help.
I've had a look around and this issue has been brought up a few times, but then just brushed over without a concrete answer.
I have a few MKVs that I want to play on my phone, but that don't have sound.
I've tried with the stock player and with Mplayer.
I've spent the last few hours googling how to convert MKVs to AVIs and whatnot and tried a few times all unsuccessful.
I don't really want to covert them anyway, they all work fine, just not on the phone.
The video plays smoothly, and subtitles show up if it has them, just no sound.
How can I fix this?
OGG Vorbis audio track? Try Moboplayer. I just found out it'll read and play it, subs included.
That's what I'm using, Moboplayer and the stock player.
No sound from either.
I just noticed Moboplayer has a bunc of codecs in the market, do I need to install one of them? Which one?
well i have sound with stock player and mkv.... what sound is it ? DTS, DD ?
i use Vplayer, works fine for me. shows picture sound and subs

Most mkv's contain an ac3 soundtrack.
The SII doesn't like that.
I convert mkv's to mp4 now with avidemux.
With these settings:
- video: copy
- audio: AAC
Works like a charm!
Edit: it's a 'cheap' conversion, it goes very fast because only the audio track is converted.

The Mobo Player app should have an option to point you to the correct codec.
If you don't install the codec then it will only play the same formats as the stock video player.
I use mVideoPlayer, works fine for all of mine.
But I think DicePlayer has the best support for audio codecs, though it's only free for a trial period and doesn't support embedded subs (AFAIK).
I have these installed permanently as one of them usually does the job, I usually try stock first followed by mobo, then rock with Act1 and QQ as backups.
Dice is probably the best but isnt free.
Dice
mobo
rockplayer
act1
qq player
I have tried pretty much all other players, honestly dont waste your time or money on any of the others.
EDIT - sorry I forgot, since moving to this Phone I hace scrapped qq for everything and rock for HD stuff as it doesnt seem to decode as well as stock or mobo, always try stock first.
On my GS2 I do not see any option Mobo Player to point me to the correct codec, any clue?

I like this idea best, it means I can play through the stock player, so I don't need to have unnecessary apps. I do like the stock player.
Is there any quality loss when doing this?
Will embedded subtitles carry over?
Edit: I just tried this, and the file it pushed out had a really low framerate. I could see jaggeddyness in frames.
Mobo is good. it's free.
Mobo's ffmpeg codec support almost all codecs.
but ffmpeg sw codec use CPU more than HW codec.
when playing 720p H.264+DTS mkv. mobo ( or rock ... ) sw codec use almost 100% CPU power.
Stock Player and DicePlayer use only 20-40% of CPU power. ( Audio codec use cpu.. )
SW codec players use lossy color convert and resize routine.
dithering or color loss will occur. ( you can see when playing dark scene )
HW Codec's Pros.
1. Performance ( Can Play 1080p )
2. Battery
3. image quality
Cons.
1. Codec compatibility ( but SGS2's HW codec is AWESOME. )
2. not supported codecs ( RMVB, VP6/7.. )
** dice player 1.1.2 add mkv embedded subs.

Generally I get good results, but haven't tried it with movies yet.
Only 720p series with 25fps, no subtitles.
Back at my desktop tonight I will try a movie with subs.
The file I tried was a movie, 720p, no subs.
I don't know what it's framerate was, but it's pretty damn high. It looks seamless.
When I tried loading it with the app, I got this error. Maybe it is actually important and not to be overlooked?

I answered no every time without much problems. Forwarding in the stock player seems a little slow sometimes but that might be normal.
25 is pretty standard for series I believe.
Converting gives the advantage of hardware acceleration and I do not want to loose that.

Diceplayer give you hw acceleration without converting.
As promised...
Promised a follow-up with an mkv with subtitles.
I must admit I didn't get it to work yet.
Unclear to me if it is even possible, I found some info that the stock player will accept separate subtitles like .srt but I have not confirmed that yet.
Ran across another problem that put me off track.
Tried a conversion to mp4 with a movie but didn't think about the size restrictions.
Could not connect in Storage mode for some reason, so I tried to use SD-cards / usb-otg. No succes with 4 Gig+ files yet ~ using windows which has exFAT and NTFS, neither is working.
Possibly there is a filesystem that will do the job on Win7 and Android 2.3.3?
My research tells me that exFAT is not really available for Android, too tired atm to look for alternatives from the Win side.
Like USB-OTG very much, would like a way to get 4G+ files to my SII that way!
As I said, got sidetracked seriously ~ apologies if I got too far offtopic.
Hello all,
I have copied an .mpg file (which has been created from miniDV camcorder 1440 X 1080 50i 25mbps) into microSD card.
i tried to play it with many video player with no luck.
I found one player (Rockplayer lite) which work BUT with problem.
At the horizontal pannings there is a deinterlacing issue, (horizontal lines) which is no normal. Except of this problem, the video plays smoothly.There is a setting called Software Decoding/ Hardware decoding.
If I select hardware decoding I take an waring message: The file cannot be played with system player , so the video does not even start!
Do you know if there is a video player which support Hardware decoding?
Thanks in advance
Horizontal lines in interlaced video are normal. Player has to have special deinterlacing algorithms to suppress that.
I have also tried moboplayer with no luck

There is no decoding-hardware for MPEG1/2 in Exynos (nor in any other recent SoC for mobile-phones), so hardware-decoding is not possible.
You need a software-decoder that does deinterlacing as well, but I´m not sure if the CPU is powerful enough to do this in HD-resolutions, but it could be possible, as MPEG2 isn´t that demanding.
But it definitely will need a lot of energy, so to save power it is probably best to convert the video in format with hardware-support, and do the deinterlacing on your computer as well. If you just plan to watch it on your phone, you could simply throw away one field. Each field still has a high of 540 pixels, which is way over the 480 pixels of the display, so you won´t see any quality-advantage having both fields available to display on your phone, it would just burn more battery.
thanks for the reply. I have hundreds of family videos in .mpg (converted from miniDV) which play smoothly with PC or any Media Player.
So, I don't think it worth converting all these videos for watching them to phone.
P.S. I think it's time to get a new camcorder using card for instant drag 'n drop playback.

Are you sure of that? You may try this: open a player (i.e. moboplayer) take a screenshot (home+power) of a video file i.e. mkv. You 'll see that the entire picture will be black (blank) because of hardware acceleration. If you select from the settings of moboplayer, software decoding and take again a screenshot , you 'll notice that the picture is OK (furthermore you'll also notice that there is a stuttering in video playback).
I believe that this is a proof that the phone can handle a hardware decoding.

Well, I have to disappoint you again. New camcorders which use cards to store the videos usually use AVCHD. The media-framework currently doesn´t support the TS-container which is used (in different variants) for example on BD, for DVB-broadcasting and AVCHD as well.
There is currently no way on Android to use hardware-acceleration if the container is not supported.
So you will have to use software-decoding as well, which certainly can not be fast enough when using MPEG4-AVC in HD-resolutions.
So, there will be no instant drag-and-drop either, but at least we can hope for some firmware-update to include support for AVCHD, and of course you can always remux AVCHD-files in one of the supported containers, like mp4 or mkv, because the codecs are already supported.
friend1 said:

Of course there is a DSP in the SoC to accelerate decoding of several media-formats.
But the video-processor decodes several types of MPEG4, it certainly can´t decode MPEG1/2.
Assuming that you want enjoy MPG files on Galaxy S II, S III, S IV, you'll need to get some help from 3rd-party video player app like mxplayer or 3rd-party video converter software like Brorsoft's Video Converter to convert MPG files to H.264 or MPEG-4 encoded MP4 videos for Samsung Galaxy.
Nice find on digging out this thread. And four years later, that was a quick response. :facepalm:

What type of 720P video is it? Perhaps it's your SD card not reading fast enough. The Quallcomm SOC is capable of playing back 1080P videos with no issues, so I'm not sure why 720P video is choppy.
Are you playing back in Software or hardware mode? Have you tried moboplayer on it?
well
i was playing from the devices memory, not an external SD. so its not that.
i dont know what software/hardware modes are
but i tried V player and it works ok for now. thanks
720 and 1080 both record and play back beautifully for me.

Hi, I just tried to play a ripped copy of a 720p bluray video, and realized that this laggs pretty bad when trying to do this. I am currious if there would be a way to play 720p on these, I know archos can. I have tried several apps, all of them lagging, even tried overclocking. Google don't turn up much.
Maybe it's because your using a blueray video?
Use matroska format.

I actually am using an mp4 file but I think we have the same general problem.
If you are rooted, you can try editing /system/build.prop. Open it with text editor in root explorer and add "video.accelerate.hw=1" without quotes to it (make sure you back up the original file first!). That line is supposed to let the GPU render videos. Reboot your device, and see if video playback is any better. Also, there are many other build.prop tweaks that you can use found here:

I use MX Player, easy to see whether GPU acceleration is working in that program. It has a lot of other nice features too, recommended in general.
The Wifi-5 plays the 720p trailer files I've tried without lag. Sometimes a few home-made files may seem to lag, but this is more likely to be due to incompatibility/ non-standard compression codecs than a lack of power. It doesn't seem to have problems with high-profile files or high bitrates in general. This is under Froyo, by the way.

Thanks for the tip, I tried it, then used Mx video player with hw rendering, but it still lags. My next mission is converting to 480p, witch is the actual resolution of this screen.
Two possibilities are either:
1) Resolution is too high or

I have several files loaded onto my Droid 3 that play fine. But, when I load them onto my Samsung Galaxy Player 5, I get the error message: "Cannot play video, sorry, this video cannot be played". What format do I need to use for the Samsung Galaxy Player 5 to get the videos to play? I have tried MP4, WMV, M4V, etc...

Hi, I just tried to play a ripped copy of a 720p bluray video, and realized that this laggs pretty bad when trying to do this. I am currious if there would be a way to play 720p on these, I know archos can. I have tried several apps, all of them lagging, even tried overclocking. Google don't turn up much.

my 4.0 plays 720p and 1080p without lags, the formats I use are wmv avi and mp4. Maybe its audio coding my player can't play AC3

no AC3 audio is perfectly fine, its definitely the container. google Handbrake and DL it, its the greatest encoder I've ever used. Sure there is a slight learning curve but once you know how to use it your 720p videos will play flawlessly on your preferred video app (imo mx player is the best one out there)
