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.
Hi folks, I have a problem with the Razr's video capabilities.
On the Galaxy SII I've used Dice Player to watch 1080p mkv video files but on the Razr Dice Player only shows a scrambled coloured picture. I got in contact with the developer and he said he failed to support the chipset.
Other players like MX Video only play in Software decoding mode which means it's far from fluid.
Do anyone know a possibility to have HW-acceleration for 1080p video files?
None yet that I know of.

Did the developer tell you why he failed to support the chipset? I have the exact same problem you do with DICE too. In fact, on the SGS II, the stock player also plays mkv just fine.
Will hardware acceleration in ICS solve this problem?

This is the answer from the developer:
Hi,
I have tried to fix the issue, but I have failed to fix. Currently I can't support the MOTO devices with OMAP4 and you can only play with Software Player. I'll try to fix it, but I can't say when it is fixed.

On the SGSII I never had problems with 1080p mkv. Maybe it's a problematic file.
Actually it is. SGS II is the only Android device i know of that can play 1080p mkv without problems with even the stock player.
Of course, if you flash for example, Cyanogen 7.x over it, then the stock player is unable to do that. Only DICE can of course.
I figure it has to do with the way the player itself is programmed to support the chipset too and of course, the chipset's capabilities.
Lets hope the DICE developer gets it right for the Razr soon.

More about DICE here and it's limitations(or rather, those of some chipsets).
I got a reply. I told the dev that the OMAP 44XX chip in the Galaxy Nexus is supported so why can't this work. He said it's due to the lack thereof of hardware acceleration natively in Gingerbread.
Once the Razr gets ICS, he'll be able to get that to work too.
Vital player from the market should work no worries
MX player with sw audio decode
Software decoding of mkv = horrible video playback performance.
software for audio only , for some reason mkv dont have sound with hw decode
audio pass through
I want to connect RAZR to Audio-Video receiver with HDMI and have option in video player "audio pass through" to listen 5.1 audio channel in ac3 or dts format in video files.
Does anyone know video player with this option?
You guys should try mobo player. I've used it on my evo, 3vo, Thunderbolt and razr. Works great!

MX player doesn't play mkv with sound... BS player does
Are you sure mx player doesn't play.mkv in either HW or SW Decoding mode? I know i have to switch it over to SW to get audio on. avi files but the default is HW which does play audio on. mp4 and. wmv. Pretty sure I've watched. mkv with sound before using mx player....

mx player?
what video support is there with the latest version (3.5 alpha)?
What video player app should I install or should I use stock video app?
What video codecs/wrappers are supported? I have tried playing h264 mp4, mkv, and normal xvid (not 720p), and none of them worked.
Dice player, it's the best video player of Android, but on TP it works very randomly
Try MX player.

What plugin if any do you install with mx player?
I am getting video stutter on every video
ARMv7 NEON. Even with the codec pack, the APQ8060 could still have trouble with anything more than 720p HiP h264.

I have nothing higher than 720p high profile h264, but everything is stuttering especially with pan scan scenes
I've been using mobo player without any problems. Haven't tried anything higher than 720p h264.

Moboplayer or Mobo Video Player?
Also, which codec plugin did you installed?
The irony is that all the movies that these struggle with play beautifully on WebOS with Kalemsoft Media Player. Will they ever be able to port this over to Android?
For now, I guess i can reboot to webOS to watch a movie, but it is a pain since WebOS takes forever to boot up.
Ok, I finally found one player that plays most files pretty well. It is VLC player beta:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1517415
The trick is to change the aspect ratio to "Center" so that it doesn't have to resize. Works great with 720p but will make anything less like 480 smaller.
Otherwise, you will get pixelation.
Still don't understand how you guys get MX player to work great. I get video stutter like crazy with high profile 720p videos.
I dont get why you are having so many issues.
I just downloaded mx player, nothing else and it plays my 1080 and 720 mkvs flawlessly..
I've been using rock player since my nook color days. It opens everything I can throw at it.

What has Bravia engine to do with sound in MKV files?

It will work if you run the player on HW decoding!
MKV= not working well on the default player (there are no sound) but seems DICE Player handle it well!

Well I cant use the stock player to play my MKV films because I get no sound, so I need an alternative player that the bravia engine will work on.
Whats the point in having a hd bravia screen and not be able to use it to its full potential?

Any update about mkv players who support B-engine? And witch support HW-video and HW-sound?
Dice player and BSPlayer support Hardware mode for the most videos. As long as you play your videos in hardware mode, they will play with the Bravia Engine.
Some mkv files lags badly on HW/SW and HW can't utput subs o.o
Fringe.S04E15.720p.HDTV.X264-DIMENSION
Fringe.S04E16.720p.HDTV.X264-DIMENSION
laggy and two players said "do not support this format"
Try MX Player, they recently added SSA/ASS support with embedded fonts.
I tried an mkv file with x264 codec (1280x720, profile [email protected], aac sound, embedded ssa file and fonts), working perfectly. HW mode.
I bought the Nexus 10 mainly for movie playback, I have downloaded several 720p mkv files and 1080p mkv files. The 720p mkv works fine in MX Player, but 1080p mkv does not work at all. (not only the sound but also the video), Ive also tried VLC player , BS player, Dice player, nothing works.
Its weird because Ive seen several clips on youtube where 1080p mkv files do work, but I dont understand how.
Can someone please help me???

MX player and BS player are the best... try with sw/hw decode.
I don't know how relevant this is but...
I got "The Tunnel" free with uTorrent awhile back. Legally. I went to watch it on my older, last-gen A500 (720p mkv file) on MX Player. Didn't work with H/W at all. S/W, would play video and audio. Audio'd desync around 1 minute in with video slowing down. 2 1/2-4 minutes in, audio dies permanently. Didn't work through the HDMI or on-board screen. Could it be similar causes?

Can only someone who owns a Nexus 10 reply.
Use dice player with the custom DTS plugin (guessing that's why its trying to force software playback). Its called libffmpeg.so - do a Google search for it, put it in root, then activate it in the settings menu in dice player. Should play in HW mode. No matter what peeps say, I keep using dice player (can stream over ftp shares!)

Isnt DTS only for sound? the problem is also the video, there is no playback at all, so are you sure it will work? what is "put it in root" ???
Never try a 1080p mkv

why?
The mkv is made of two or more parts: the video, and the audio(sometimes multiple streams). If the audio is unsupported by the hw decoder, it will try to play via software (slower). Root directory /sdcard/
I recently started using dice player because it plays my mkv videos 1080p with dts sound.
Default settings used and no custom codecs.
Mxplayer doesnt support dts audio due to some licence issue otherwise I prefer Mxplayer

Did you try mxplayer with the custom codec from this thread? 1080p mkvs work for me with this. Using h/w+ decoder , s/w audio decode and 4.0 compatibility mode in the settings.

BS Player works fine for me on my Nexus 10. Have you ticked the "Use alternate HW decoding mode" under playback preferences? Sometimes when I do get the odd 1080p MKV file not working with this, I swap it to software decoding which then works fine.
Dude, HW+ and Software Audio Decoding in MX Player does the Trick... I even created a 2560x1600 h.264 mkv video (25fps) with high preset, and it works smoothly - however, you must have the exact pixel count. If the Nexus 10 has to do rescaling, e.g. because of the navbar, you will get horrible stuttering. Nevertheless, this is pretty impressive. It is all about proper usage.
Edit: 1080p can be scaled up without stuttering, of course.
i don't know what it is you're doing wrong, but MX Player and BSPlayer both play 1080p perfectly fine as long as they're in HW decoding mode. I prefer MX Player since BS is having issues with A/V sync when playing a lot of the smaller 720p videos i have tried. make sure to enable HW+ decoding in MX Player, add the custom DTS codec for the current version and get some proper 1080p mkv files and it will play pretty much anything perfectly.
What is the bitrate of your mkv?
I encoded the video using Handbrake at High Profile (CRF20), which produced 19mb/s in average, with peaks at up to 70mb/s.
My source file was "Redwood National Park" by Jacob+Katie Schwarz (you can find it on YouTube). I avoided letterbox with a combination of cropping and resizing.
Keep in mind that you have to match the native resolution if you want to enjoy insane video playback like this without stuttering. If you create a 2560x1604 file for example, you end up seeing one frame every three seconds...
