any advice or will the gtab running vegan rc1 7.0.0 kernel 2.6.32.41 not play .mp4 i have mobo player playing everting else so far any help is appreciated
Have you tried soft decoding? Long press on video and select soft decode. I haven't come across a video that Mobo couldn't play this way. Also Mobo has a codec pack which it should have prompted you to download at first start up.
movies are on my ext sd card..when i long press i get option for hard decoding no soft coding option,
bump ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,any ideas
I use Rock player and it plays mp4 files fine. maybe give that a try?
ok now i am able to get mobo player and rock player to play them but video is off and kinda slow mo like frame for frame but advancing quicker then if u were trying to play it in slow mo ,,,this is driving me crazy
any thoughts or a rom just as good that plays all video formats
Have you tried re-encoding the video with Handbrake? There are lots of settings in the forums that I've had great luck with.

beastlys plays almost all since theres full hw accelaration
I can't for the life of me get this to work i have this 1080p AAC/MP4 harry potter movie- works fine on my laptop and desktop- but wont play on this tablet.
Initially when I got the tablet i was excited and installed the gtabcomb rom (for 1.1) this was AWESOME, but obviously no hd video support (which is really what I am after...)
Ive tried CM7, Gtab TNT lite 4.40, Calkulins, and im about to try the vegan rom.
I have the 1.1 boot loader.
Ive tried like 5 different video players, none have worked except for the software decoding on rockplayer... HOWEVER this was 10 fps, and distorted.
What do I do here? I really want decent hd video.
Thanks!
EDIT: Vegan is clear and the audio is working properly all with the default player BUT the FPS is less than 15...
Now what ?
What player have you tried? For me, between qqplayer, mvideoplayer, and arcmedia, I can play just about everything under the sun.
:<
Going to try some other players now, i will make a list.
strangely - after having the video work (sort of ) in the vegan default player... I tried rock player again.
That fails- when i click hardware decode it just flashes and goes back to the video list... software decode does nothing... just black screen.
SO i uninstalled it.
And now the default vegan player doesn't work at all- just says " can't player this video" (or something like that).
So frustrating
EDIT:
Rock Player : Clear video but 15fps or lower, audio but jumpy.
QQ - Clear video imagery but 15fps or lower, no audio.
ARCMedia - Choppy video at 15ps or lower, choppy techoy - audio....
mVideo - "Cannot player this video" (exiting... then im back at the video list much like the default app)
Try moboplayer, but I dont think the gtablet can do 720p or 1080p unless properly encoded specifically for the gtablet - not powerful enough (ie stuttering).
Same
Mobo player with soft decoding works but still 15fps or lower.
What is the absolute best container, format for a 1080p file to be encoded?
Moboplayer plays almost everything I throw at it with very little stuttering while streaming from my home network using UPnPlay but the audio from the gtab is way to low. When I plug in headphones the volume is OK.
I have gone into sound settings on the gtab and the set device volume is always at 50% even after I increase it to 100%.
Suggestions?

Weird. My gtab's sound is the loudest out of the tablets I have available to me (ipad, iconia, and transformer).
Froyo
Are you running Froyo? Had the same problem until I upgraded to honeycomb. Now its nice and loud.
I thought there was absouletly no HD video support in HC :/ Is it possible to get smooth, quality 1080p playback with 1.1 BL + HC (I guess Gtabcomb?)
And how?! DO WANT!
:/
It would seem that even the stock rom does not play my video Guess it might just be the damn video lol.
Media info is saying MP4 container, h264 and acc audio.
:/
zzz
Someone please tell me what is going on, I can't imagine everyone is using these tablets without any video support...
I nvflashed to 1.2 BL - stock. bone stock, no new apps nothing.
and then i downloaded some trailers from here
http://www.h264info.com/clips.html
Now, the damn viewsonic site even says this the gtablet supports these:
S1080p H.264/H.263/ VC-1/MPEG-2/4/WMV9/DiVX 4/5 Video Decode, 1080p H.264/MPEG-4 Video Encode, Supports multi-standard audio formats, including AAC, AMR, WMA, and MP3
AND- the video (for instance the serenity hd dvd trailer on that page above) is:
Video Codec: H.264
Trailer Resolution: 720p (1280x720), High Profile (Xbox 360 Compatible)
Audio Codec: AAC LC
Resolution: Stereo, 48 kHz, VBR 128 Kbps
Why is that not playable?! I tried multiple other formats and nothing works...
I want to see this device in an out of the box way play hd video as it suggests... i can can't it?
Really frustrated, spent 4 hours tonight flashing pretty much every 1.1 rom and then nv flashing to 1.2 and flashing like 4 different 1.2 roms (including illuminate, which looked really promising but just gets stuck and the "Illuminate Android" screen...
Flash videos player (snotr.com) but youtube.com videos do not. (error occured).
EDIT: Just managed to get VitalPlayer installed (downloaded apk on computer and installed) - plays all of the above videos BUT still they are terribly slow frame rates... what am i doing wrong?
So encoding in MPEG-4 makes everything work... smaller file sizes, smooth frame rates... AAC audio seems good too.
Set bitrate at 4000 and I guess this is how ill have to do everything :/
I am currently running C&C 1.5 v6.
Streaming over UPnPlay.
Most .avi files play ok using the stock movie player - sound and picture
When I try the same file with Mobo the volume goes way down.
When I press the volume button up the on screen volume indicator gose from 50% to 100%, but there is very little change in the volume. The gtab volume indicator does not appear.
When I go back to gtab settings the volume has gone from 100% to 50%.
I have gone into the UPnPlay settings and switched between volume and volume DB with no change.
Look i know your trying to help but if you had read a single thing I have posted
* I HAVE NO ISSUES WITH VOLUME *
Just trying to get an hd video (preferably 1080p) to play at a decent frame rate (23.976+).
Thus far no h264 video works... they are all 15fps or lower.
I have found that a 720p h264 re encoded to mpeg4 @ 4000 kbps does play smooth.
However a 1080p h264 re encoded to mpeg4 @ 4000 kbps is (better than just h264) still sluggish, and the audio doesn't quite sync up.
I really just want to know what video container/codec will work best on a stock 1.2 BL T&T Rom.
I was replying to roberto188 regarding my ROM.
Didn't mean to hi-jack thread, I was just sharing my experiences and looking for help.
Well apologies accepted I am sorry for my mini-rage, just really frustrated trying to get some hd videos working on the thing.
Seems I am just going to have to deal without them...
No worries.
For what it is worth, I just switched to GtabComp 3.2 and the audio issues disappeared.

Try using this to convert your videos for the gTablet. http://dvdvideosoft.com/download/FreeVideoToAndroidConverter.exe
It's free and it has a setting for the Viewsonic Viewpad 10 (1024x600, 1.5Mbps, 128kbps AAC, 48khz, standard quality) and they play perfectly on my Caulkulin+Clemsyn Combo v6 (Froyo).
Thanks will do! I found that mpeg seems to work best but i def got hw acceleration working with caulkulin+clemsyn combo not sure if h264 is working but at least the videos are clear and crisp - I will see about this software thanks!
edit:
FYI Just tried the program, it converts them to mpeg-4 anyway just does it really clean, and faster than handbrake.
Good find TY!!!
so does this mean that when ViewSonic says the Gtablet can play 1080p....are they really saying if you convert your existing movie file into another format with different bit rates and special settings then the Gtablet can play 1080P?
My daily driver will do 250 mph and use no gas.......if I push it out of an airplane....
Hi,
If i watch a movie that takes longer then 1 hour, the sound starts over. This usually happens when i get past 1h15min of playtime. The video continues but the audio starts over to the beginning of the movie.
I have tried different players including mobo and mx player.
In mobo i have noticed that it doesn't happen when i use soft-decoding, but then it lags. It isn't watchable on soft-decoding.
I have tried multiple files, mostly mp4 or m4v. Every time the outcome is the same, short movies (less then 1h15min) are alright, long movies give me trouble.
Does this have something to do with ARM v6 ?
Any ideas?
Thank you!

Hi there,
I have a panasonic camcorder that records videos in 1080p to MTS file, I have tried several video players but video is stuttering like crazy in all of them. In my opinion Note 2 cpu is more than enough to play smoothly any video at any bitrate. I don't want to remux or reencode the whole library (200 gigs of videos) so is there something that can be done to play mts files smoothy?
Thanks

The bitrate is around 16 mbps, do you know of any places where I can upload a big file for free?

Don't worry just grabbed some high bitrate samples to test brb
I just grabbed the panasonic 50p sample file from http://www.dvinfo.net/forum/canon-xf-series-hd-camcorders/478223-xf300-compared-panasonic-hdc-tm700.html#post1524096
its 24.3Mbps 1080p 50fps
using MX player
HW+ mode it chugged and was extremely choppy
HW mode it didn't support
SW mode played fine with the odd dropped frame
Try MX player as your videos are lower spec they should play fine

Thanks for the sugestion, in SW mode it drops massive amount of frames, the video looks like in slow motion.
what is your camcorder? can you upload a test video (10 seconds or less) in mediafire to check it?

It is Panasonic HDC-SD60, will upload something tomorrow, thanks guys for your help
Just checked the specs, and I think the problem is that it records the files in 50 fps, which the current phones dont have the power to play it.
Try to check if there is a 30/25 fps limit and try to record in that format and test it on your device.
If there is not an option or you dont want to decrease the fps, then I guess your only choice is convert the videos to 30/25 fps.

But my girlfriends asus tf300t plays them just fine. Does that mean that downclocked tegra 3 is faster than exynos in note 2?
I will do some other checks later. Maybe its not picking up the hardware acceleration correctly.
I have uploaded a 20 seconds sample, also it looks like the video is in 25 fps !
http://www.mediafire.com/?02p5dgd4y9j3160
Yup still lags for me, I even remuxed it to mkv to see if it was the file format causing it.
Looks like you are going to have to convert it all!
Dear brodzik,
I suggest you to try bsplayer from google play... AFAIK, bsplayer has its own rendering engine and this may solve your problem...
Kind regards.

I've tried that already and it is stuttering like crazy
Is it because it's interlaced? Not 50fps but 25/25 interlaced. Does the phone have problems with 1080i stuff?
So any ideas as to why Tegra device has no problems playing this file and Note is strugling?

BS software mode plays it smoothly.
Hi
I have a Xperia tablet z with android 4.2.2 , with the latest mxplayer and armv7 neon codec pack installed. All default settings.
I have downloaded some HFR video files (60 fps, 48 fps etc) locally but I cannot play these hfr video clips. Example: The Hobbit trailer at 48fps.
Content from here: http://www.hfrmovies.com in the download examples section.
Anyone else have issues? The playback was choppy and many sections were cutoff.
Thanks for any help and advice...

I have downloaded the video (An Unnexpected Journey, High Quality) and I will transfer them to my XTZ soon (internet speed isn't helping to stream) and give an feedback
The samples showing the 24 fps vs 60 fps runs smooth after the devices kinda buildthe cache for them. The video I mentioned earlier, skips quite a lot, the audio sometimes stops and comes back again later, and the video when isn't skipping, runs a bit in slow mo.

That's the same kind of issues I am seeing.
I cannot tell if it was caused by hw limitations or the mxplayer. I did try to muck around with settings and found that sw decoding gave slightly better results.... not a whole lot better tho...
Which player are you using?

MXPlayer also. Even the Sony movie app was able to reproduce well the short 60fps bike video I told you, but no luck with the movie trailer...
The best would be to ask someone with a S600 and S800 powered device to run those videos.
