Which Version Of MX Player Do I Need - Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime

I have a SGII and I installed just the regular MX Player app, however I'm looking at this list of different versions with ARM tech. I'm wondering if there's a better version to pick for the Transformer Prime, or just get the standard version?

No ideas?

Those aren't different versions, but software components for the MX Player that are codec packs.
Just install the standard version or buy the pro version and the app itself will determine if you need to install one of the codec packs. If you have to install one, the app will direct you to the appropriate codec.

AVI player for cyn9 m4

Trying to watch avis. Sideloaded video players from previous roms but no good. Installed mobo player run and it says instal codec ARMV7... which I do and still doesn't work. Any other players? I'm in china on business so alot of stuff on store isn't available tho apktops works and most download sites.
Bump
I have had good luck with MX player so far on the stock rom, on Task14, and CM9. This one too needs a codec DL'ed and installed. And for a few videos I had to switch it from hardware decoding to software decoding, but it has so far played anything I threw at it.
That said, if I am not mistaken, .AVI is only a container, it can "hold" a variety of different encoding types. It is possible that you have run up against something out of the norm, but my guess is that with the right player and settings, it will play. You might try checking the settings in the app you are trying to use now, see if you can switch from HW to software decoding.
Good Luck,
Jason

[Q] Mkv player

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:

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

[Q] Video Player that supports DTS audio...

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

MX player can play dts audio i believe. You have movies downloaded that play without sound right? Go into mx players settings and under decoder set everything to hw+ After that It should start playing them no problem. If that doesn't work here is a quick quide on how to install DTS codec into MX player

Will need a custom decoder which can be downloaded from the play store. For mx player it is the arm v neon... but like the poster above me mentioned, mx player will play anything you can throw at it.

I had the same problem. After trying several apps, i found the solution with vlc.
VLC for Android Beta. (As a new user I can't post links outside... :laugh: , so you have to look for in in the Playstore)
Currently it's even my favorite video player. Good luck. :good:

[Q] VLC for Android Beta doesn't show srt subtitles?

The latest version of VLC for Android Beta (version 0.9.10) downloaded from Google Play doesn't display srt subtitles anymore on my device (Sony Xperia Z2 D6503). I'm running the latest version of Android available for the device (4.4.4) and the latest available firmware version (23.0.1.A.0.167). The VLC application correctly detects the SRT file and it can be chosen as a subtitle track. However, when playing video there's no subtitles to be seen. I've tried this with a large number of different video files in different formats and with different SRT files stored in both internal and external storage or USB stick with no luck. The video files and SRT files are not corrupted since I've been able to play them with no problems on my device by using other video playback software such as BSPlayer for Android or Sony's built-in video player on the device. I've reinstalled the VLC application a number of times, rebooted the device, soft-resetted the device, cleared the media database and history in the application's settings, and cleared all application data in the system settings with no luck. I've also tried older versions of VLC and the nightly build.
I also posted this problem on the VLC's official help forum and I had a discussion with one of the developers there. From the log file I sent him (available here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/jclfbs2a7hbha2o/VLC debug.txt?dl=0) he detected that the problem is somehow related to system fonts or text rendering modules as can be seen from the following lines in the log file linked above:
freetype spu text: Using /system/fonts/DroidSans-Bold.ttf as font from file /system/fonts/DroidSans-Bold.ttf
freetype spu text: Using /system/fonts/DroidSansMono.ttf as mono-font from file /system/fonts/DroidSansMono.ttf
freetype spu text: file /system/fonts/DroidSans-Bold.ttf have unknown format
core spu text: no text renderer modules matched
Unfortunately the developer wasn't able to help me any further than that. So that's why I'm posting here.
I'd also like to point out that this issue wasn't there in the previous firmware version (17.1.2.A.0.314). I'm currently experiencing this problem running the firmware posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/development/stock-4-4-4-23-0-1-0-167-bug-free-t2929402 As a friend of mine who also owns a Sony Xperia Z2 and uses the exact same firmware is experiencing this exact same issue, one could think that it has something to do with the firmware and Android build in question. Of course it could be any number of things affecting the subtitles but other Android devices I've tried have had no problem with displaying the subtitles in VLC.
So I'm just wondering is anyone else experiencing this annoying problem with VLC and Xperia Z2 and would someone have any idea of how to fix this? Of course meanwhile I can use other video players such as BSPlayer to watch videos with srt subtitles, but I prefer the interface of VLC.
I actually don't know anyone personally that uses either VLC or BS player anymore. You'd be best getting MX player instead, it has native support for everything that's thrown at it, including stylised subtitle support.
Are you sure you're trying to use SRT subtitles? The only time you should get warnings/errors about TTF font files is when a MKV with embedded ASS subtitles can't find a suitable substitute.
Of course there are other viable media players available, I'm aware of that. And as I pointed out VLC is the only media app misbehaving this way. And yes, I'm absolutely sure that I'm using srt subtitles. Same subtitles that have no problem playing with other media players on my device or with VLC on other Android devices. I specifically pointed out the location of the subtitle files for VLC manually. I was just curious about this error. This misbehaviour with VLC started instantly after updating firmware and the same happened to a friend of mine so that got me thinking if there's a possibility of something being different in the fonts department FW- or OS-wise. But I happen to know a couple of other apps as well that are not currently playing well with Android 4.4.4 so it's not that exceptional to find an app not fully compatible with that version of Android. Oh well, maybe I just have to move on and start using some other media player as you suggested. Using VLC was just an old habit for me and after all there's a saying that old habits die hard. And now that you mentioned MX Player as a better alternative. Well it seems that it no longer supports AC3 audio due to licensing issues so in that way it's unfortunately less functional compared to either VLC or BSPlayer. :/ And I happen to play quite a lot of media with AC3 audio on my device. However, there seem to be workarounds available for getting MX Player to play AC3 again.
One year later I suffer the same on a Asus Zen pad 540 and newest firmware, so it seems there are sensible parts of Android, mine is 5.0.
I wish I could use Ac3 with Mx player
