My galaxy s2 crashes and reboot when playing .mkv file it plays for a minute then hangs (no response) then reboots. It happened using stock rom and villian rom so it might not be the issue. I suppose since the stock video player doesnt support this format but isnt the s2 capable of doing so?

The stock SGS2 is capable of playing MKVs. Have you tried a few different MKVs from different sources to see if it may just be something it doesn't like with that particular video you are trying to play?
I haven't had the problem yet on my SGS2 but on my previous phone (Captivate) there were times when a certain MKV I downloaded it did not like and would stop playing. But it was rare
I'd definitely try some other MKV videos just to see if this always happens. An MKV file from somewhere else or totally different (not from the same source as the one that does not play) just to narrow it down. I play MKVs nearly daily during my train commute to work and haven't had any problems on stock player
You can also try Mobo player - its free. Just to see if it happens on that too
Actually i used mobo player and orher player but same issue in pc it plays fine il try differrent file with mkv format il see how that works since i only tried one file so far since it supports mkv it should be the file issue but it works fine in pc thanks ill let u know if it works

Its usually a sign of unplayable format of the file .
MKV is a container with many formats .

Thank you guys, its just as you guys said some formats of mkv doesnt work but others does. Tried another mkv file and it works in the default player unlike the the former mkv where the default player said that the format is not compatible. Just to note the mkv with subtitle crashed but the one without subtitle worked. Not sure if that could be the reason
Btw how to use the thanks meter?

Hi guys, was just wondering if anyone had any issues playing videos (of any type) to play properly on their tab and if so if they have found a way to fix it..?
Recently bought a tab 10.1, and no matter what file type I upload - avi, mkv, xvid, divx, mp4, m4v etc none will play without pixelation on playback.
I've converted with 5 different converters, played using moboplayer, vplayer, rockplayer, diceplayer and mxplayer.
Youtube playback is fine, I'm going to try streaming tonight see if that's fine.
Don't really know what else to do. So any help or suggestions is greatly appreciated!

What quality of vids are you playing? 720p should be fine with those player especially mobo and dice
I'm not playing HD quality. Most of my video files are normal quality avi's. Really I'd really like it to just play them but it won't play them without the pixelation.
K well I tried streaming a video from my MacBook Pro to my tab via wifi and it works perfectly...
Thoughts anyone?
How are you transferring the files onto your tab? I have a MAc book pro also and the only way I was able to transfer quickly was via the USB adaptor...
I'm using Diceplayer and have encountered no issues with play back and most of my files are downloads and avi, mkv etc. I just plug and play, no converting or anythign and not encountered any pixilation or play back issues.
Seems what works for some doesn't work for others...but if streaming worked for you, try the adaptor for getting your video's onto the tab.

I'm using Kies, and that seems to transfer at a reasonable rate. Not too painfully slow.

Have u tried transfer it manually using usb data cable from pc to tab?
i'm not suprised you're getting pixalation issues if you're trying to transfer using Kies. I found it an absolute joke but then again I am using a MAC.
Just suck it up and buy the USB adaptor...and transfer files via a USB stick or use WIFI explorer
Ya, Kies is as absolute joke on Mac.
Didn't think that it was the program that was causing my problems. I searched and searched for days and converted god knows how many types of files when all along it the useless program.
I just transferred some files via the hubby's PC through File Explorer and it's now playing perfectly.
Total fail of a program. Can't update firmware on Mac, can't upload files, it can't even update itself.
Cheers for all the help guys.
Why not instead of the USB cable, download SwiFTP and setup an FTP server on the tab? Then just FTP files to it using FileZilla on the PC or something?
Hi All,
I've read a bunch of thread but none of them has resolve my problem.
I was used to play MKV files with my Galaxy S2 without any problems with the default player.
But since I've made a restore of my phone, I'm now unable to play the same MKV file. There's only sound, no image. (I have tried some other player, none of them have worked)
Anyone has an idea of what's going on here? Am I missing a codec or something?
Thanks a lot for your help.
Are you on stock Samsung ROM?
Yes I'm using the original ROM
Model Number: GT-I9100M
Android Version: 2.3.3
Baseband Version: I9100MUGKG2
When I connect my device to Kies, it shows me that it is up to date.
No idea what could have happened?!
No .
You could try factory reset again .
You could try copy a new file and see how that plays .
jje
Ok thanks, I'll save everything and do a reset and see what will happen.
Still doesn't work, I really don't know why, that pisses me off.....
This is the movie I'm trying to play with my phone.

Thanks for the advice, but it still doesn't work.
I'm wondering if there's any kind of limitation inside the new Virgin firmware or ROM that doesn't allow me to play MKV files, cause I've tried with other MKV files in 720p and this is not working either, so it's not a corrupted file or anything.
Update:
I took a look at diffrent Galaxy S2 spec from Canada and United States
Here's what I've found:
Canadian (Virgin):
Video format supported: 3GP, MP4 and WMV (unprotected)
US (AT&T):
Video format supported: 3GP, AAC, AAC+, AMRNB,AVI,eAAC+,H.263, H.264, MP4,MPEG4, QCIF, WMV; Video, Streaming
I think I'll need to unlock my phone, do you guys think it will allow me to view my files?
Thanks again

Have you tried MX Video player? I think it's the best videoplayer available on market and it supports almost all file extensions.

Hi All,
I've already tried MX Player, mobo, and some others.
It can play in S/W decoder mode but its unwatchable it lags so much
Thanks again

Is there something to do when you have problems with MKV files?!
I didn't find a solution for that.

Hi all,
I am using MX player to watch videos and it seems to lag with some MKV files. There is no lag on avi/mp4 files, and sometimes even some mkv's work. Recently though I am unable to play any MKVs without lag. I'm unsure if this is how the system works, but I am unable to use the HW/HW+ decoder on any MKV files.
Today I flashed a custom rom onto my galaxy tab 2 and tried overclocking, but I haven't noticed any difference. ( I may be doing something wrong). It seems that I have the same issue with other players too.
If someone could help me out, that would be great. I'm not sure if I need a settings change, new player, different overclock values, etc. Hopefully it's possible to watch my MKV files
Edit: If someone could also suggest if there is a certain rom that helps too I'd appreciate it.

I don't know, but i could suggest you to post this in the right section, this is for the galaxy tab 10.1 (gt-p75xx) not the tab 2 10.1 (gt-p51xx) lol
Hello guys, I'm new so I can't post in the thread of the cyanogenmod rom. Not knowing what to do, I opened a new thread hoping you can help me. I installed the CyanogenMod 11 cm-11-20140907-NIGHTLY-i9300 (yesterday) in my galaxy s3 i9300 but I noticed a problem: avi videos don't work(xvid codec). In the stock version of my os (4.3 stock) I had no problems with any video (worked all videos, avi, mkv, ...) with any codec. I tried to install other players such as VLC or mxplayer but nothing. Avi movies do not start (the mkv instead work). It is a problem of CyanogenMod? You also have the same problem?
Thanks

in Mx player just before the movie starts press pause. and change HW decoder to SW decoder or vice versa and try.
Remember to install the mx player codes (armv7) and if it still doesnt work change the decoding method to software as that always works even though it's less efficient
