I have tried to play streamed HD 720p clips using Ice Stream app with both Dice and MX. Both of the players stutter severely. Dice claims that it cannot enable HW decoding when it launches from within ice stream. I have the power profile set to normal mode. Is the network streaming causing problems?
if it stuttering and its streamed that makes me think its not the player its the stream.. I use UPnPlay and I have no issues with streaming

Hi,Does we have any chance to watch and hear a movie with dts audio played by stock player?
Thanks.
Any help

You'd have to ask Samsung about that one, it's their player, not open-source.
I doubt they'd want to put the work into a feature that would be used by very few people though. You'd be better off using a 3rd party player.
The only app I know that plays DTS audio is DicePlayer...but it's not powerful like stock player.
Some of the movies played with lags in DicePlayer

I have watched a video file with DTS audio using MX Video Player and it is more powerful then the stock player.
Hi,about MX Video..
In HW (Hardware) Decoder mode - When the phone connected with HDMI to TV,the subtitle(srt file with the same name as movie) don't show at TV.
SW Decoder - When the phone connected with HDMI to TV its show the subtitle in TV but the player don't fill all the TV screen,it leaves black frame that in it the movie plays.
Does we have any chance to add DTS ability to stock player? because the stock works perfectly with HDMI connection.
Thanks.
I would recommend BS Player Lite.... I tried DICE, MX, Mobo, Vplayer and many others last night and BS was the only one that would play everything (even 1080p) smoothly, even over a network connection from a local share. Best part, it's free!!
Market location: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.bsplayer.bspandroid.free&hl=en
Tips for best playback:
- If you use it over a network, go into BS Player and use its LAN mode. The decoder must be the BSEngine Hardware Decoder to stream.
- For local playing content, change the decoder to the system hardware decoder and not the BSEngine hardware decoder. Works so much better.
So far I have been able to play (both locally and streaming from a network share), 1080p and 720p video including DTS Audio from the following formats: MKV, WMV, AVI, F4V, MP4, FLV, DIVX and M4V.
Just tried it on an 1080p file. System HW decoder- video looks great but no sound. BS Player HW decoder- video looks like crap but audio works. Having the same issues with mxplayer. Very dissapointing.

Dice player seems to be king of media players. just make sure if you watching movie from internal memory/external or removable(micro SD card) that its using HW decoding.
I Agree with the OP ... BSPlayer has been flawless for every video bar 1 for me ... Dice player isnt free but the trial was the same as BSPlayer for the files i tried.
How do you connect in lan mode? When I go in LAN MODE my ip adress is already in. I cant change it. I put in user name and pw and i get an invalid host message.

New Prime owners who want to watch video on their shiny new tablet will be pleased to know that a full version of Dice Player (ad-supported) is now available on the Android Market.

Your file is to blame.
TF201 | XDA Premium
I use the BSPlayer as well. Works perfectly. I also use the Lan mode and stream from my Windows 7 machine. 1080p .mkv movies are sometimes laggy, but sometimes they aren't. I think it differs from file to file because of its size and my local network isn't fast enough.
Did not play my mp4 version of a high res movie only really slow! Tried multiple settings and now I am back to mx

I'm using DICE + ES File Explorer to stream 720p videos on my Galaxy Tab and it works great. Can't wait to try the same combo with TF Prime
I also tried it on Prime and it works. Full HD sometimes still lags on wifi streaming (smb through ES explorer) but pausing for a minute sometimes help. The best player I tried, and I tried a lot of them.
thank you very much, dude it helps me
Any video players with tegra 3 support?

BIG EARS!!
Bsplayer in hw(Bsplayer engine), mode works great.

I have found, at least with my media collection, that Diceplayer works better across all types of codec configurations.
I normally use BsPlayer, since it has built in samba client and therefore no need to use ex file explorer to start dice player. If BsPlayer does not cut it, then I switch to Diceplayer.
Mx video player does not currently decode all formats i hardware on the prime, so wait a little while with that.
I am finding the default video player after the ICS update to be quite capable. Haven't had to download any codecs, or anything.

Yes, I also have been impressed by the built in player but it has had problems with playing audio on many of my files.

I don't believe there are any of yet. I currently use Dice Player which has played 99% of my videos on HW. For the other 1%, MX Player seems to have the fastest SW decoder. I know Dice has a Tegra 2 plugin (tried it on my Prime to no avail). I wouldn't be surprised if we see Tegra 3 optimized decoding before long. I can't imagine it would be too difficult to do, but since Tegra 3 is so new, there just haven't been any attempts yet.

I agree. The video playback is much better but do not have sound on many MKV 720p high profile. DICE Player is the best for me so far with BS Player second.

I find that the default ICS player is bugged out. Instead of a menu for play,pause and stuff it just shows colored squares (looks like my screen is melting form the inside out) and is obviously bugged out, it doesn't play half the stuff dice player does.
mx player has been treating me the best since I can select hardware or software for the video and the audio separately, allowing me to play 1080p videos and for those that the audio isn't working I can select software decoding of audio. Also MX player is so far the only player that has been handling multiple audio tracks and multiple subtitle tracks well.
@all
OK, sorry, I stand corrected. Just tried out an .mkv on the built-in player which gave no sound at all! Ugghh...
i no this is a bit random
does any one how i can open the default layer app without going through gallery, because am having problem finding my video files through the numerous files on the gallery, thanks
Use the videos app and select the option for personal videos on the top left tab

No players are perfect, I keep four players and usually one of them will work.
I thought there wouldn't be a problem playing any video with this device. Disappointed it's such a pain in the ass.

Everything is playing, but not everything is playing well. I still get some lag and audio problems with 1080p mkvs.

Can you upload a sample? I have different kind of mkvs and i have no problem.
There are a few encoding settings with make problems (like 10bit) but overall i didn't found many h.264 mkv videos which are not playing.
Is there a way to play movies that I have on my computer already on my prime? Is there an app that will play movies in any format with out converting them or do I have to convert the files?
Already answered your other thread. Try BSplayer

MX Player is also great.
to get to the files on your network share I like using es file explorer.. choose the file and then pick your video player. nice n easy.
mx player is good, but a lot of times uses software rendering. and more and more my videos would just stop and go back to the list screen.
I've switched to dice player and haven't had one that isn't using hardware rendering. and no closing out for no reason.
the main reason hardware rendering is going to be better is if you have it plugged into HDMI. software rendering still displays the video on-screen, draining more battery. whereas on hardware the screen is black and its only putting it out via HDMI.
UPNPlayer is a nice app to STREAM from your computer...

I can't echo my experience with MX Player. I have plenty of H.264 encoded mkv videos (High-Level Profile 4.0/4.1). MX Player for some strange reason hiccups with the sound and video when I start a video and then as I'm playing, will also skip randomly. I use Dice Player. Once BSPlayer modifies their app to "minimize" the action bar with dots like Dice and MX player can do, I'll switch to that, since Dice seems to cause random reboots at times.
So, for those who don't know what subsonic is it is a streaming media server run on your home computer for live transcoding music and video.
That being said, it started using mxplayer for streaming video and I've had nothing but issues watching mkvs. First I had no audio but video worked great. Then I updated to the arm7 neon codecs and now audio works but it doesn't work at all 90% of the time. I haven't used my phone to play mkvs before so I don't really know where to start. I'm using HW+ btw.

Do normal hw not hw+ I've had issues with audio on that before. Even software sometimes works better.
Tapatalked from my HTC DNA - ReVolt
HW doesn't work at all. I've got HW+ working but it starts to stutter badly after about 10 secs.
Do you have the bandwidth? Is your server transcoding? If so, is it powerful enough?

I'm 99% sure its the phone. Streaming to another pc outside of my lan it works perfectly. If it was a bandwidth issue it would buffer not stutter.
