I've recently installed Wet Dream 1.4.3 ROM in my atrix and I'm loving it, but i noticed it has lost video hardware acceleration. If I want to play .mkv files on MX player they stutter a lot and I cant chose HW acceleration. I've tried many diffferent players with the same result. Is there any way this could be fixed?
Thanks in advance.

Hi y'all
I dont know if my transformer is hard ware damaged or if i have a software problem.
Problem description:
I just exchanged my transformer prime for a replacement unit since the HDMI was broken on my old unit.
I reinstalled MX player and started playing a video (H264) and it keeps crashing. The player will kill itself and once, it even went into a weird stripe crash and had to be hard rebooted. I uninstalled the codec pack for MX player, did it on software encoding, no hard crash, but MX player keeps dying.
I tried vplayer, which doesnt seem to crash but the audio/video sync is off. Now I cant remember having this problem on my old unit.
I then proceeded to download the glowball demo to 'tickle' the tegra cores, in case its a cpu/gpu issue, and that worked fine without crashing.
unrooted, locked bootloader with all software updates from Asus.
i am out of ideas, any pointers what could be wrong / how i can locate the issue?
cheers

I have similar problem with u on the video playback, however I manage to play MP4 and MKV files without crash.
MV Player stops when I play any rmvb files which is quite annoying as most of my video are rmvb.
I wonder if it crashes the codec when we try installing different Video players.
saw a new video player on the forum and gonna try it tonight ~ hope this will work~

lets keep talking about this issue and I believe some other users have the similar issue too...
wow VLC build for ARM, impressive
What REALLY is annoying that i get a "not supported" from the stock player. How come the standard Android 4 player does not know the h264 codec ?
Did it work?
Try moboplayer out too and see if that is any different.

I will next, cheers
I just tried the VLC port. it does the same thing of crashing (but its alpha, so hey )
edit:
just tried a xvid file with moboplayer, same crash
all the apps just stop playing the video and return to video select screen
i have seen a couple of Tegra 2 optimized players, nothing for tegra 3 yet?
edit 2:
mx player has an experimental build where you can increase the cores to 4 for sw decoding, havent tried that yet
cheers

I have the same on Tegra 3 - tried MX player, MX player with ARM 7 codec, Mobo player - they just kill themselves during the playback....
Will try more players, not sure if that will help at all...
Dice player seems to have the best interface other then mx.
But no crashes and everything runs with hardware decoding that I've tried.
I too am am having lots of mx player crashes after the jellybean update on my stock uprooted transformer prime. The stock player also crashes.... This never happened on ice cream sandwich. Anyone fi d a solution to make video playback more stable?
Try S/W decoder.
I had a similar problem just a few minutes ago. I deactivated H/W+ decoder and it worked perfectly.
Sometimes, hardware can't play everything. You should try and play these videos with S/W decoder.
I might be wrong. I just said what helped me.
HI ,
I have installed most Custom roms available - and one thing that annoys me is how the videos play.
Now i am not being picky or choosy about this but did u notice without the hardware acceleration (SW , SW fast mode) the videos have a microsecond delay to load and then to move scrolling is slow.
In fact on MKV and FLV the video takes more time which is not there in ORiginal Firmware
Ok

Same here
I have the same problem too! Especially because I mostly use my phone in watching anime, being able to play using hardware acceleration is a must-have feature to have longer battery life and avoid unwanted heating of my phone due to software encoding.
I hope this can be updated or fixed soon!
Try dice player from market
Dice Player mostly does the job, but the only thing that makes me use MX Player is support for advanced subtitle formatting. Thanks for the fast reply!
Hi there ppl.
Any1 notice that HW decoder for video dont seem to work properly with some of the ICS rom?
In my case,AOKP and offical CM9 nightlies work fine when playing my .avi .mkv file in HW decoder mode whereas for ganbarou ICS ROM and SGT7 ROM, they can only be played in SW decoder mode.
I also try using DICE player and MX player to get the HW decoder to work but they gave the same result. Any1 in the same situation as me or have found a fix already please help me?
Hello. My firmware is e97020j
I just noticed that in many players (including a default video player) a video quality isn't good enough .
See attachments for example.
The only good result I got is with a software decoding in a mx player. But I think a software decoding is not a good solution.
In other players like a Dice player or a BS player the picture quality is the same bad as in the MX player with a hardware decoding. So I think maybe after an official JB update something went wrong with a hardware video acceleration. I watched the same video on a samsung GS3 with the same mxplayer with a HW+ decoder and the playback quality was OK. It was the same as in my OG with a SW decoder.
So guys do you have any suggestions?
I have the same problem. Any idea ?
When I installed a SnowJB over the official 20j firmware the problem went away. But the att-JB was much nicer for me, so it would be great if there's any way to fix the video playback on it. I tried a ME's kernel on the stock jb and it didn't solve the problem. Also I tried to lgnpst back to the official ics and the playback quality there was fine, just like in a snowjb and some other android devices I have.
I got the way to fix the problem on stock jellybean. All you have to do is turn on disable hw overlays option in developer options.
Everything seems to point that HW video acceleration should be working, but when I play an mp4 (encoded using handbrake) with MX Player with HW enabled, the program freezes. I need to use SW to play the mp4. Also, the Android galley program also freezes when I try to play the mp4. Am I doing something wrong? Does anyone else have HW video acceleration working on a NT8 with CM10.1? I'm running the RC build by the way.

I'm running 10.1 RC2 as well and while it didn't work a couple of days ago the newest version of MX Player (and the ARMv7 Codec) seems to be working fine with hardware acceleration. The new version added a new "HW+" decoder as well which seems to work fine for me when enabled (not sure what the advantages are though).
