Guys mx player has updated and removed dts codec, due to. A licence problem so now mkvs play without any sound, does. Anyone have the apk for the player before it got updated or know of a player that will play mkv with sound. Your help would be greatly appreciated
Here's the link to MX Player's official site if you wish to download older versions:

Dice player seems to work fine for me, as an alternative
wow. that sucks, I use mx for mkv animes all the time, saves on mobile data also
here you go

Moboplayer has always been adequate for my needs.

Codec (ARM6 VFP) 1.6f
No you want the Arm 9 variant as that's what the Exonys 4 cpu is based on. VLC works like a charm, living watching full 720 res stuff on my phone

Well, since DTS obviously don't want us to use their codec for free, the eaiest solution would be to simply not use it. This way we won't have to bother with their licensing, and we could keep using our preferred players. I don't think this is the solution DTS wanted, but it works for us.
Since the main issue would be to re-encode everything, I have created a tiny little script to do this easily:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
ffmpeg -i "$1" -vcodec copy -acodec ac3 -scodec copy "$1-dtskilled"
Save it as plaintext to ~/bin/dtskiller and make it executable (chmod 755 ~/bin/dtskiller), then simply use "dtskiller <inputfile>" (e.g. "dtskiller movie.mkv") from the bash prompt. A new file will appear with "-dtskilled" appended to the source filename.
It's a quick and dirty script, but it only depends on bash and ffmpeg, which should make it usable with cygwin as well. It fills the gap as a proof of concept.
It works by re-encoding the audio to AC-3 and just copying everything else, which should make it fairly light on the CPU compared to a normal re-encode. If someone were to make a licensing claim on AC-3 we could easily move to Vorbis, which is a completely free format and virtually any FFmpeg based player should handle just fine, but most people seem to prefer AC-3.
If there is enough demand I might make a GUI version with more features (like audio codec and output file selection) in python, possibly even windows compatible.
i would much prefer a transcoding feature from dts to ac3, rather than an outright re-encoding.
so you would have mx player pro work with a third party plugin that transcode dts audio sources to playable ac3 audio format. is that possible ?
i'm currently using the older mx player pro which still has dts, but it doesn't have the latest jelly bean support as well as other features/fixes. so would love a fix for this :/
dts audio mkv 1080p
Galaxy S3 here.
Im not too clear what im required to do to achrieve dts audio playback...
I uninstalled all refrences to mxplayer, then installed 1.6f as suggested. Then installedvthe main program from the play store.
Was that the right order of doing things?
I use MX player & I love it

so i'm confused, mainly because I don't know anything about video codecs, but what is the best video player for the Atrix. With the Tegra 2, I assumed video playback would not be a problem. However, I've had issues playing AVI files as well as MP4 files downloaded through TubeMate. I've tried the default player, Mvideo Player, Act 1 Player, QQ player, and YX player. For my MP4 files, some play and others lag while the sound plays without issue.
Any suggestions?

Act 1 Player for me.
The problem is that a lot of these players are using a "software decode" method instead of a "hardware decode" method. Rockplayer worked like a charm on the captivate for mp4 mkv... etc but for some reason rockplayer does not work well with tegra chip. I have contacted them about this and they gave me a version that was supposed to be for our device but it did not work any better. So hopefully a tegra vid player with hardware decoding will come out soon.
I was wondering about the whole "software decode" over "hardware decode". Hopefully Rockplayer releases an updated version. In the meantime, I'll try Act 1 again.

Well since the Tegra doesn't have hardware support for high-profile H.264 you're not going to *get* a video player that handles hardware decoding any better than the default app. There's a reason the default "Video Player" won't play those files.
Try Vital Player. I've used it to play a few files even up to 1080p using Software Decoding. It's not perfect but it's one of the best I've tried. Software decoding is the *ONLY* way to play most H.264 videos.

Just tried Vital Player, its great thanks!

I am trying out Vital Player myself and I can't get it to see my sdcard. It keeps going into my internal storage. I set the root directory in the settings area for /mnt/sdcard-ext/ I tried several variations but it keeps looking into my internal storage. I don't keep videos in there cause they take up too much room. Any one know how to get it to look in the sd card?
Instead of using the built in file browser you can select the video file in the motorola file app then select it then Vital Player.
So far it works excellent for me. Seems smoother and the on screen controls are useful.
I have been using the file app but if I like the player I was thinking of getting the pro. But no sense paying money if I can't use the built in file search. I don't mind spending a few bucks on something good.

Your best bet at encoding for the gTab is here http://www.dvdvideosoft.com/download/FreeVideoToAndroidConverter.exe and it's free. When installing, pick custom install & uncheck ask homepage & toolbar (unless you really want those). The Free Video to Android Converter has a built in preset for the gTab and has 3 quality settings (Economy(.75Mbps), Standard (1.5Mbps)& High(2.5Mbps) and encodes in .mp4 format @ 1024x600 resolution. It also has profiles for other Android devices & you can create custom profiles that convert to other formats, quality & resolutions.

will the high setting be too difficult for the g tab to play?

I'm running Calkulin+Clensyn Combo v6 (Froyo).
Video from my wife's Flip HD (1280720) converted runs great at 2.5Mbps.
I've converted DVDs @1.5Mbps (not using the free android converter since it doesn't do DVDs, but a separate free DVD convertor that you can get from DVDVideosoft.com) and they they look/play great. Converted DVDs look good in Rockplayer using software decoding but look a little better using hardware decoding.
Don't have any recordings to test @ 2.5 right now, but I'm converting a DVD to test now @ 2.5Mbps. I'll let you know how it turns out.

Encoded Soul Surfer @ 720x400, 2.5Mbps. Rockplayer plays it fine with hardware decoding but it won't play on software decoding.
So, you should be able to encode with the standard gTab profile (1024x600, 1.5Mbps) and play fine.
I finished converting and watched the movie! It makes the original .mp4 look way better. Thanks
Basic Profile
The key to avc h264 playback is to use BASIC profile. You can jack up the bitrate really high and it still works. Main profile with a low bitrate will also work, and high profile will never work. I would say just use a basic profile and jack up the bitrate for guaranteed quality and compatibility.

With the free converter, I would recommend MX Video Player from the market.
Be sure and download the accompanying codec for the tegra also.
I'm using 3.3BL1.2 and I'm running mp4 full screen videos and even super high quality MKV formats with this player.

This is true on 3.3BL1.2Beta for me also. But the SW decode seems to be a smooth playback for me. I believe HA isn't working yet with this ROM, or Adobe flash with certain apps & browsers either. For now I'm accepting that as this ROM is running smooth for me with little but acceptable glitches for a Beta.
MX is a good player though.
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.

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.

Anyone have a favorite video player? I want something that will play all types of files, like MP4, AVI, MKV.
Aside from finding the 'best' one, a problem is when I download something like MX Video Player, I see all these add-on apps like codexes that are for specific processors. Which should I choose?
Thanks for any help or advice.
I think this question was already answered in another forum... but I downloaded MX Player and didn't have to install any codecs. For my atrix the mx player app prompted me to download... i think the armv7. But for the note, everything just played fine. I didn't get to try mkv's though.
MX Player can play 1080p mkv's just fine in hardware mode.
I use that in conjunction with file manager with samba support to stream from my NAS.
Another vote for MX player. I've even uninstalled the stock video player and just use the MX player for my main video player.
MX player will automatically prompt a codec download if needed. You don't need one with the Note.
Dice player is another good one but it had some slight lag when I was watching a movie which was disappointing. That never happened to me before with dice.
Loving vlc alpha. No pros in software or hardware mode with a 720p movie for 3+ hours.
I find MX to be jittery in HW mode on many video files (doesnt happen to me on my international Note). I run in SW mode but the quality appears to be slightly worse..?

Yeah MX seems to be a bit jittery with my .MPG files... it wont even play them in HW mode, i have to use SW mode.. and even then i have to use SW Mode Fast Decoder to get it to play properly
however the quality looks excellent to me. I'm still amazed by this f*ckin screen. 1000x better then my atrix.
Anybody know the best conversion settings for Handbrake? I read on another site that these were good choices, but seem to be for International version:
Video
Codec- H.264
Resolution- 1280×720/1280×800 (HD)
Bitrate- 1500kbps
Framerate- 30fps
Audio
Codec- AAC
Sampling rate- 44.1khz
Bitrate- 160kbps
Channel- stereo
I use Moboplayer and it seems to work fine. I wish vlc would be final.

MX Player has been working great for me...
Rockplayer and dice play everything I need.
Mx player will attempt to play anything you throw at it. I used it until I realized that's not necessarily a good thing. It will play files that it can't play well...with no video, with audio sync issues, at half desperate, or down-scaled. Not what I wanted.
I use CIFS Manager to mount windows shares locally. This give you access to more players. If you have issues, a TVersity install may be an option.
So apparently there's been a big stink about DTS support and it's a hassle coupled with a headache to get working. Anyone know a quick guarantied way to get video files with DTS audio working?
Dice Player is the only one that I have found to really support DTS Audio files. It also has nice features like a video pop out window similar to the stock video player.
EDIT:
Looks like Archos Player does it as well.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.archos.mediacenter.videofree
If you grab the free codec pack it plays everything I throw at it including DTS, AC3, etc.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.m4rk3t.libcopy2
As an added bonus, the Archos Player pulls in meta data for movies and tv shows on your device. Pretty slick, just purchased the "Pro" version after playing with it for just a few minutes, and it looks to become my new default video player.
After playing various media files of multiple different codecs via my networked media server... I now say forget about Dice Player, and go with Archos. Can't do cool stuff like pop out video, but it plays EVERYTHING (if the codec pack is installed)!
i bought to archos pro the day it came out. i loved the player on my 101it and couldn't wait for a version to come out for other tablets. that free codec is just icing on the cake.
it's like combining mizzu and the old bs player into one. there haven't been many movies that it can't play. i've even put it on my daughter's memopad hd7. none of the other players can handle the files as well as the free archos (she didn't get the pro version).
Thanks guys. Archos did indeed work out very well. The video is a little big grainier than it is on MX Player but having sound is a very nice trade off imo
Is there any other reason to buy the pro version besides it being ad-free?
i haven't noticed problems with the free version, but i haven't used my daughter's tablet a lot and she hasn't complained about any problems.
Never heard of this program before but I like the layout of it and it works well w/ the things I am trying to stream
