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?

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.
I've Tried paranoid and slim bean roms, but HD video playback is choppy(720p). Does anyone got a fix ?
You need to either play it with a video player with compatible hardware acceleration codec, such add MX Player. Otherwise you need to encode the video to a compatible codec like h.264.
Or you can download the older MXPlayer version 1.6 which has a play back feature called Software Fastmode which can playback everything.

I'm a new user so I can't post to the Android dev forum. I've successfully flashed two different CM10 ROMs to internal storage -- both of these:
[ROM] [WIP] CM10 PURE AOSP 4.1.2 JBV06.1-Hashcode Buildbot Says Hi!
[ROM] SGT7+CM10+Cherry Picks,By meghd00t. New 09/12 Multitouched!
I've actually tried the most recent two builds of each. In general, things work great, with one problem: I've never been able to get hardware video decoding to work, in any of the ROMs. Other people seem to be having hardware video decoding issues on some builds but not all, so I thought for sure I'd hit on one that worked, but no luck.
Any ideas? Do I need to flash a different kernel to get hardware video decoding to work? Thanks!
what player you using?
hw acc is working fine for- as far as i know- all of them
mx video plays HW+ mode fine for almost all my videos i stream
I'm using MX Player also. Can't play anything in HW or HW+. SW mode works.
Also, for what it's worth, I just tried installing CM7, and hardware acceleration works fine.
Symptoms that I'm seeing in CM10 that lead me to believe that hardware acceleration isn't functioning:
* Can't play videos in HW or HW+ mode in MX Player
* Can't play videos at high quality in Vevo
* WatchESPN app can't play any video
MX Player, Vevo, and WatchESPN are all fully functioning in CM7 though.
Try the 24/11 build of SGT7+CM10+Cherry Picks,By meghd00t. Both MX Player and Youtube HD playback work better than in the latest version.
sometimes you have to restart your tablet to get hw accel on videos to kick in.

Try going to settings and start over picking which plan and your user info. I stumbled upon this by accident but it works quite nicely and I am running the CM10.1 from Kuzma30. It worked whether I was using SGT7, Alien, or the stock CM10 ROMS. MXPlayer is working as well for 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).
