No Audio in MKV after update - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

After I received the last update on my Samsung s3 I noticed that there is no audio when I play MKV format. Usually I use Mx video player and it was working fine. Even the default video player was playable but now it give a message" play video data only"

What happens when you put mx to s/w instead of h/w?

I hope I don't get banned for this since I'm not doing anything wrong but perhaps you downloaded a warez version of MX Player Pro and the update invalidated your copy? or you don't have the Pro copy and got the standard basic version instead. The only player that I know which plays HD MKV files is MX Player Pro so far.

MX Player does not have a DTS codec any more. Download VPlayer from play store. However it will be a 7 day trial, after that it can be unlocked for $2. It works flawlessly.

Thanks it works with VPlayer!!!! and u were right it was from DTS codec. Too bad MX player removed DTS codec because it was the best video player there any way I will check this and I will consider buying it.
I notice slowness when I change it to HW

You can find older versions of mx player on their website. I think it is 1.6f which was the last version to have the dts decoding.
Works okay on my s3.

I looked up Vplayer and saw that it uses less battery usage at better perfromance than MX Player Pro, I'm a bit skeptical but I'm going to check it out thanks for the good suggestion.
EDIT: I tried the trial version and it had alot of bugs, the subtitles are everywhere instead of horizontally aligned at the bottom and it only has a H/W decoder sometimes there's no video only audio. It fixed OP's problem but I was right at being skeptical I can't say that it's better than MX Player Pro. Most of the time it says it's not responding, wait or close but thanks for the suggestion though.

bringing this thread back just to say Mx Player 1.6f (Neon) works perfectly.
Have to get it from the website in the download section, make sure you scroll down and click on the link that says download previous versions.

Based on what I read above I eagerly downloaded MX Player. It was in no way as smooth as Zimly media player.
I picked up Zimly initially just to play music, I don't like bothering with playlists, I just wanted something to shuffle tracks.
Since I don't want to start another thread. I'll just ask it here ..
Is there a video player that can play mkv files WITH subtitles? Like Anime videos?
Thanks in advanced.

Hi. codecs ARMV7 suits defy. No need to instal the others. I`ve tested almost all video players on market and have to say that in my opinion MX rulez. Perfectly works with my web browser, local movies, dlna. Has touch screen brightness and volume control, adjust the image size...etc. Never failed.
Did the player ask you install automatic or you just did it manually.

hi guys, i just got myself this tablet and im loving it, im trying to play mkv files on the tablet but the player i have been using on my phone doesnt work that well on the tablet, (QQplayer)
what do ye recommend to play mkv files
MXplayer.....
and witch codec is it? or you dont install any codecs?
No codecs needed
I think BS Player Lite is better then MX Player. MX stopped support for DTS decoding and MX plays AC3 on SW mode and not HW. BS Lite has it's own HW engine and play AC3 on HW mode.
I agree, Bsplayer also have lan mode to stream without problems from my pc
Tried BS Player and it works fine! Plays Mkv without any problem and with sound
thank you for the suggestion

Videos not playing correctly on MxPlayer?

Just got a Galaxy SIII, and I've been trying to watch videos on it. Some work fine, but a few don't, and I don't know if it's the format, but they look like this
i.imgur.com/PZwwA.jpg
i.imgur.com/HiQWY.jpg
i.imgur.com/O6v6w.jpg
That's an MKV file, I also had videos I took on my iPhone that I moved to the Galaxy, and those were MOV format, and none of them work. When I plug the phone into my computer and go to my SD card and play them off of there on my computer, it seems just fine, so I don't know, what could the problem be?
bump, would really appreciate some input
Some video files still have to be converted, or u could try using mobo player. Thats better than mx player

Oh really? Damn, I thought I could just drag and drop, it's why I didn't bother watching videos on my iPhone since I didn't like converting lol

MX Player not really hardware accelerate (certain MKV file got sound issue and can only software render) for Nexus 10 at the moment. I am using BS Player now, it work nicely at Nexus 10.

I still get the 'DTS unsupported Audio Codec' error when I play HD mkv files on MX Player.
The videos plays just fine, but I don't get any audio.
BSPlayer on the other hand works perfectly. I would use that.

BSPlayer works fest for me, MX Player is a bit slower and has problems with some files.
This is in newest update already. I like MX's Interface Bettler though
Even with the update MX player still slightly stutters with mkv files I have tried 720p and 1080p
For me MX better (smoother) plays mkv 720p on software decoding.
