As the topic suggests. Why is dice player the only player we can use on the tab to watch mkv files natively straight from download?
Have they just got access to a certain code within Android that the people of moboplayer or the many others don't know about?
Just trying to understand why dice player is the only one on what I thought was a open source system.
Many thanks
Dan
I bit the bullet and bought it. Crashes a few times but just assume it's due to a bad mkv file. Still don't get why diceplayer is the only one who play stock mkv files from download.
I'm a developer of diceplayer.
We have very good relation with many vendors and carriers.
we can access to some devices before their release and get some help from vendors.
but I can not say anymore, because we have a lot of NDAs..
I've bought Dice player, but have just learned that BSPlayer lite (free) has now also HW acceleration. I've tried it and see no differences to Dice player. Made a quick test with 4 MKV files, a southpark and a simpsons episode (played fine on both) and the Another Earth movie and a Harry Potter trailer (about 3-5 second out of sync on both Dice and BS, plays fine with any Windows player).
Although I love Dice Player and it plays all my HD files, I couldn't watch my films when I was recently in a spot with no internet connection - because it needs to go online to verify the license
I also noticed that it failed to work if I didn't have my phone tethered. Seriously tho can I not use the program if I don't let my tablet go online?
Because thats outrageous seen as tho I've paid for it!

Sorry for inconvenience.
That problems comes from google license server.
we'll improve license check method.

It works without internet connection, just long timeout during attempt to check license or something...
I'm not sure if something else has changed in my setup, but the last release doesn't seem to be working as smoothly as before with the combination of Twonky Media Server, and Bubble UPnP. Xvid files often stutter and break up, and as far as I can determine nothing has changed in the other components - only an update to Dice.
Has anything changed in the latest release that might potentially cause this behaviour?

But can you tell us when multichannel AAC streams will be properly demuxed?

That depends on the movie. I've tried also BSplayer and Diceplayer and there is no doubt that Diceplayer's performance is way ahead on several files.
It is almost as good as the original video player from the non-touchwiz firmware
Sometimes I'm thinking that a Samsung developer was hired by Inisoft and he intentionaly ommited HW acceleration for 720p from the included video player of Touchwiz firmware in order to boost sales of Diceplayer...

Mobo can't use HW video decoder & renderer.
SW decoder drains your battery too quickly.

What problems did you fix? The latest version is 1.7.2 and still the channels are not correctly downmixed.
Usually the 6 channels are combined in the file like this (channel positions): Front = L C R, Side = SL SR LFE.
What Diceplayer is doing is sending the L + C + R channels on the right speaker and SL + SR + LFE on the left speaker. Which is completely wrong, all the main sound of the movie is heard from the right speaker and very often the sound is distorted.
A correct downmixing is (see http://www.ac3filter.net/wiki/AC3Filter:Mixer_page):
L’ = 1 * L + 0.7071 * C + 1 * SL + 1 * LFE
R’ = 1 * R + 0.7071 * C + 1 * SR + 1 * LFE
Or there are other options like Dolby Pro Logic:
Lt = L + -3dB*C + -3dB*(-Ls -Rs)
Rt = R + -3dB*C + -3dB*(Ls + Rs)
But I think you know about it, because 6 channel AC3 is correctly downmixed.
Also, a good option whould be to have a "swap L/R speakers" command in the menu. It is useful when watching movies with the tablet upside-down.
Thanks!
So the diceplayer can play MKV, XVID AVI etc much better faster than the Mobo? Or does it play it the same, but just use less battery?
I downloaded the trial version. I Also tried to play a MKV file for NBC's show Grimm. It was very choppy. Am I missing something here? Is their a setting I need to change on the Tab?
i cant install
i cant install the latest update for my galaxy tab.. sorry.. im kind of a noob... hehe
Oh, no! The latest update UEKMM for the US tablet, with Honeycomb 3.2, broke the fluidity of Diceplayer with some 720p movies. I hope the developers will fix that soon!

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.

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.
So I finally got ext2 SD Micro cards working thanks to this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1184767
This allowed me to test playback with my largest mkvs. What I found shocked me.
My largest 1080p mkvs play back perfectly on our phone. Smooth as silk.
The only issue is that tracks with DTS give no sound in the default player, so I invested in Dice Player that completely fixed this issue. Dice Player works well with the MHL cable so I am able to play the 1080p mkvs on my TV at 1080p.
This phone really is a dream!
I use my xbmc server to stream 720p mkv's with no problem here. Love it!

this player is perfect, nothing I have used can come close to matching its performance. 8 gig high profile 1080p movies play flawlessly with no lag at all skipping to any point in the movie. very cool
played 11gig movie from mxplayer over DLNA still smooth
I was trying to play some 1080p stuff on my prime and it was lagging and eventually just quit. It was a x264 mkv file with ac3 codex for sound). When I try to play it in mx player, so it's smooth with h/with acceleration but has no sound. The I tried running it on my pc and it worked fine.

I just hooked the USB cable up to my computer and navigated to the internal memory and dropped the file into the "Movies" folder. it took almost an hour to transfer it.
Oh, and in the Market there's "DicePlayer plugin for tegra2". I have that installed. See if that works.

Just use ES File Explorer on the LAN tab create entries for your samba shares, navigate to your media collection and when you tap to play the movie you can choose which player to launch it with. Works great with DicePlayer.

Did you copy it to internal memory or an SD card? If to an SD card how is it formatted? You may need to format the SD card as NTFS to properly support large file sizes on the Prime.

Tried ES File Explorer, but the load time was too long to start a large file. With BS it is instant.

Load time may be a little longer (by like 3-5 seconds) but BS Player is noticeably choppier when actually playing high def content (yes I have HW acceleration on).

There, both Dice and MX has an advantage that they have multiple settings for the subtitle.
Hi
i have use mx player for a while on my tablet.
but since they removed the DTS audio codec i have switched to vplayer
but my issue on my prime is that when i play for instance an episode of game of thrones or breaking bad on 720p .mkv version it starts ok...
but after a minute... the audio decoder doens't work anymore and it seems like you can hear only the background noise...
i used to have the same problem with mx player, but there i had found an easy option make the audio normal again. I use to switch form hardware <--> software decoding. And then it would be ok.
the odd thing is that this doens't happen with HD movies...
But for the vplayer i haven't found a sollution. Is there anyone who had te same issue?
thanks
I had issues with MX player when trying to play 1080p .mkv files and the best solution i found was to download and use BSPlayer and go into settings and set it to use Hardware decoding (BSEngine).
Never had any issues and 1080p .mkv files play perfectly - even on power save mode

Third! It's what I use!
Tried different formats?
I've only had my TP for a short time and have only tried a couple of movies on it. Not knowing which format was best I chose to rip to MP4 format and it hasn't given me any trouble so far. Is there some advantage to .mkv?
mkv is more of a losless wrapper, better quality, no compression, much larger file than mp4
The thing with Diceplayer or most players doesn't render embedded subtitles. MX Player renders it fine though. So even thought I get artifacts on MX Player when playing 10bit MKV or 1080p MKV animes, I stick with it. Yes I messed with the settings on those other players.
Well I'm getting issues with Dice not wanting to open files with DTS audio. If I open the video through file manager and choose Dice, it'll play the video no problem but no audio. If I try to open inside Dice, it crashes. Vplayer works with audio, but drops frames even if I choose 'hardware acceleration' I'll try mx and see if that works.
EDIT:
Nope, MX won't play the audio either. It at least shows me that their is an audio track, and that the audio is DTS track, but it won't play it. Any suggestions besides transcoding the audio?
i believe it was when MX player got updated to 1.6 that they removed the DTS codec. If you never had problems before they removed the codec and prefer mx player just google MX player apk X.XX and find the version with the codec in it. I would tell you the website to go to, but it's a no no on XDA.

Hey thanks!! Downloaded 1.5a and bam! DTS playback is perfect! Thanks again!
FYI
Dice version 2.0.5 also has DTS intact. You can find it somewhere on google, and plays HD files better in my opinion.
The latest version of MX Player that still supports DTS audio is 1.6f, and for Dice Player it's 2.0.6.
I've heard these versions are incompatible with Jelly Bean, so it looks like we'll have to find a new solution once the update comes out. (likely switching to BS Player)
I've always been an advocate of Dice, and with the majority of my stuff in Xvid or more recently, mp4, all stashed on a server that was smb shared, it worked a treat.
However, I've never been able to get HD mkvs above 720p to play well, and even those had the occasional laggy or jerky moment. I always put that down to network speed, though.
However, I've just tried the latest BS Player and all I can say is wow. It has just played all of my 1080p stuff over the LAN without breaking a sweat.
I am jumping ship. Very recommended.
So awhile back I sent an email to both BSplayer and MXplayer devs.. Asking if they could implement something in their app that gives full screen hdmi like Google play movies does, where it goes in to "hdmi mode" and the output is full screen...
Long story short MXplayer got back to me and had me send them some pictures of the Google app at work as well as what it looks like using mxplayer...
They just emailed me this morning saying they figured it out and it will be implemented in the next major update!!
Woohoo!!
I still think google needs to implement full ui scaling... But this is a great step
If this belongs in the apps section feel free to move it... I put it here because it is more about the hdmi than the app to me

It's great they fix this. However I would prefer a system wide setting before individual app. Now we need to fix this for every app we want it.
But I'm very greatful to mx player developers who fix it on their side.

I totally agree... It should have been system wide from the beginning...
Beware of the latest update. It doesn't like tablets apparently, definitely the N10. It will force close trying to load any video. I had to restore the previous version to get it working again.
Update: Problem fixed by updating the custom codec to the matching version.

There are other apps that no longer work with 4.3 which will need updates (e.g. full!screen, ServeStream, Superuser ... etc). All told this is a temporary blip with some devs playing catch up. Unfortunitely MX Player Pro plays a central roll in my N10 usage so that is a pain. In the mean time I'm using Plex for HD content and VLC for my transcoded NAS content.

LOL Yes VPlayer Works but in Software only mode (h264 mkv files) and just barely (video isn't very smooth) - which I suppose is a testimony to how powerful the processor in the Nexus 10 is - it can decode h264 video and audio reasonably well in software - problem is, your are maxing out the processor to do this, so just about any other process will cause the video to periodically slow - and I can only imagine what software only decoding will do to battery life when watching videos...
The built in player seems to have two modes: choppy and unwatchable or smooth and silent ( no audio ) so it appears useless as well
I suspect transcoding everything to mp4 might work, but seriously? Back to that again?
The Nexus 10 had spoiled me. Its been working so well for so long I've lost patience with all these stupid format games and transcoding - just want something that works at this point.
I'm surprised - this was touted as a minor update - sure has broken a lot of things for a minor update....
For me BSPlayer is working for 1080p mkv videos. Both VLC and MxPlayer don't work.
