So awhile back I sent an email to both BSplayer and MXplayer devs.. Asking if they could implement something in their app that gives full screen hdmi like Google play movies does, where it goes in to "hdmi mode" and the output is full screen...
Long story short MXplayer got back to me and had me send them some pictures of the Google app at work as well as what it looks like using mxplayer...
They just emailed me this morning saying they figured it out and it will be implemented in the next major update!!
Woohoo!!
I still think google needs to implement full ui scaling... But this is a great step
If this belongs in the apps section feel free to move it... I put it here because it is more about the hdmi than the app to me
AW: MXplayer to support full screen HDMI!!

Sv: MXplayer to support full screen HDMI!!
It's great they fix this. However I would prefer a system wide setting before individual app. Now we need to fix this for every app we want it.
But I'm very greatful to mx player developers who fix it on their side.

I totally agree... It should have been system wide from the beginning...
Beware of the latest update. It doesn't like tablets apparently, definitely the N10. It will force close trying to load any video. I had to restore the previous version to get it working again.
Update: Problem fixed by updating the custom codec to the matching version.

See: "MX Player alternatives for Android 4.3" dosn't look like there is a working player for HD content yet (as of Jul 25th 12:30PM EST) issues throughout various players are dropped frames (HD content) to no audio.

Wait a minute: Are you saying that with a single update Google has managed to render ALL HD video players non-functional on the Nexus 10?
That's hard to believe.....
And I think, that would have to be considered a significant problem.....
Oh well who wants video on a media consumption device anyway.....I'm sure Google has it all figured out...

As of (Jul 27th 8:20PM EST), MX Player Pro still does not work but:
> VLC arm7 Nightly from git 0.1.3+ works but not on HD content even with HW acceleration enabled the audio is out of sync
> I am reading that VPlayer works but have not tried it myself
> Of course Google's own Movie player works
There are other apps that no longer work with 4.3 which will need updates (e.g. full!screen, ServeStream, Superuser ... etc). All told this is a temporary blip with some devs playing catch up. Unfortunitely MX Player Pro plays a central roll in my N10 usage so that is a pain. In the mean time I'm using Plex for HD content and VLC for my transcoded NAS content.

LOL Yes VPlayer Works but in Software only mode (h264 mkv files) and just barely (video isn't very smooth) - which I suppose is a testimony to how powerful the processor in the Nexus 10 is - it can decode h264 video and audio reasonably well in software - problem is, your are maxing out the processor to do this, so just about any other process will cause the video to periodically slow - and I can only imagine what software only decoding will do to battery life when watching videos...
The built in player seems to have two modes: choppy and unwatchable or smooth and silent ( no audio ) so it appears useless as well
I suspect transcoding everything to mp4 might work, but seriously? Back to that again?
The Nexus 10 had spoiled me. Its been working so well for so long I've lost patience with all these stupid format games and transcoding - just want something that works at this point.
I'm surprised - this was touted as a minor update - sure has broken a lot of things for a minor update....
For me BSPlayer is working for 1080p mkv videos. Both VLC and MxPlayer don't work.

Has anyone tried playing any HD MKV's through the Rezound? If so, does it handle it better than Tegra 2 and utilize the screen well?
i've got a bunch of 720P .mkv files i've tried out. for the most part they play fine, but occasionally there's a slight "out-of-sync" issue. it seems the 2 best apps to use for playing these files are Dice Player and MX Video Player. the weird thing is, sometimes when a sync issue occurs, for instance if it's in MX, i'll try playing in Dice instead and it'll play fine... but there's times it'll happen the other way around to. of course, considering that the OS isn't really designed to take advantage of multi-core CPU's + the b.s. Sense & bloatware on the phone don't help either.
I have seen the same type of files play on the Galaxy Nexus as well(but through the stock player) and the GN had similiar issues as well though.. so... hmmm.. !!

What's your video properties? I just tried to play Transformers: Dark of the Moon and it stutter forever.
I saw the videos in the gallery that come preloaded on the device and they look amazing. I want to be able to take my HD MKV's and have then look good and play as fluid as the pre-loaded ones. Any suggestions for that or conversion?
There is a vlc media player beta floating around in the nook color threads. It works pretty fing good, mobo seems to do the job as well. I have found that it depends on how, or what it was encoded with. I will try and post a link to the vlc file in awhile. Good luck.

ok here's one that'll play slightly "out-of-sync":

Audio: Dolby AC3 48000Hz 6ch
New Transformer Prime owner. Just about to take it out of the box and get up to speed on this device. I'm a media nut who has tons of videos in 720P and 1080P mkv format. Was wondering whether it was worth waiting a few days for ICS to be available so the default video player could play them with HW acceleration or if I should install one of the ad-supported players like BS.Player or DICE?
I can wait the 3 days until the 12th so no big deal there. I have a lot to learn on this tablet but look forward to discovering what it is capable of.
How obstructive are the ad-supported features or DICE and BS.Player? Would prefer to not have to deal with ads.
ICS is supposed to have HW acceleration and MKV support if I'm not mistaken, but let me know your suggestions.
Thanks.
Dice Player
I have 20tb of mkv content, and a set of samples representing that content shows me I can play 99% of that content in Dice Player.
If you want to play mkvs, Dice Player should be the first app gotten out of the box.
I don't know how intrusive the ads are though. I bought the ad-free version for my SGS2 months back before it was pulled.
ICS is reported to support MKV, but that's just a container. Will it have HW decoding for all codecs?
I also bought Dice player. The free version (back when it first came out) only lets you use it for 3 days. You can reinstall to keep using it but that's just annoying. The software is worth the $4-5.
One thing to note:
The default player on the Prime does seem to support mkv. The issue is that the default player is not robust enough to play the many types of encodes you find in the scene. Only Samsung's stock SGS2 player can do that in my experience of having tested over a dozen Android devices with my samples.
With Dice Player, you get a robustness to play 99% of scene content.
Yeah, I'm kinda stuck in no mans land because they pulled the full version of DICE off the market. My only option is to get the ad-supported one or BS.Player. Both have HW support and will play back 99% of the scene related mkvs out there.
Seems the board is split on DICE vs BS.Player for the Transformer Prime, so I will install both and give them a test run to see which one I like better. It's a shame that we don't have a paid version available to avoid ads at this time. Don't know why the pulled DICE player off the market.

True both have HW support, but Dice Player has superior container support and BY FAR superior DTS support. Since many 1080p mkv use DTS tracks, it is the best option.

I will install both. I'm disappointed that I don't have an option to use an ad-free version of a media player with HW acceleration. The root of my question was weather ICS and the default player would solve my problem or will I require a paid app or ad-supported free app to play back my media. I'm new to Android so I'm not sure how the OS plays with installing and removing apps vs keeping a clean system as much as possible. If anyone could confirm that ICS can play hw accelerated 720p & 1080p mkv files that would be the information I'm looking for. I'm capable of testing this out for myself in 3 days time when ICS comes out, but I figured I would jump the gun to see if one of the sharp people here on the boards could answer my question.
It is hard to answer your question without ICS on a Prime, but I will try.
The only device with official ICS now is the GNex. Someone tested a GNex with my samples and said they failed with the stock player. Yet the Gnex can play all of the samples with Dice Player he said.
Extrapolating from that, I assume that you will still need Dice Player to play most scene content, especially when you add in the fact that nothing has been said that ICS will get DTS support.

Don't bring your hopes high. HW video decoding acceleration is already present in Honeycomb (at least H263 H264 VC1/WMV on the TF). And yes, ICS should bring MKV (limited) support which is to finally give Webm container support. But you will not be able to play any of the movies that have DD or DTS sound with any of the built-in players (guess it's licensing issues). They need software decoding provided by third party apps like Dice and BsPlayer.
I have the full version so can't say about the "demo" ad-supperted one. But they should be very obtrusive. Why not give it a try?
Anyone from ASUS reading this? Please give us MPEG2 video hardware acceleration support. Pretty please
I don't know about all of you, but I love VLC - it's exciting to have it on android.
That said, I downloaded VLC-20120226.apk [Cortex-A8, NEON] [Latest] and installed it on my ICS Alpha 2 Touchpad and it works great.
Just in case anyone was wondering what build to use.
Here's the beta thread in case you missed it:

I was also able to enable hardware acceleration in vlc player, and I didn't have any issues. I played a 720p mkv with no problems perfectly smooth.

Hi guys,
Been using VLC for a couple weeks now. Works great, with one exception I was hoping someone could give me some advice on. When I go to play mpeg's, it starts and within 10 seconds it crashes. I can play avi's all day long with no issues.
Any ideas?

VLC is an alpha and not really even an official one as it was just user compiled from the source. So for now you are stuck either converting them to a format that works or using another software to play them.
The A8 version worked fairly well. The A9 version didn't.
VLC is looking very promising. Still not as good as Dice player though. VLC fails my 720p stress test video and Dice player passes.

Sweet, never knew about Dice Player until now. Looks like it plays a wide variety of formats and supports streaming. Will probably become my player of choice until an official VLC player is released.
I've loved VLC on both PC and iPhone (seen the light and abandoned Apple for the SG Note) but it'll take a lot for me to change from MX Player now. Its played everything I have thrown at it, regardless of codec and including full HD videos.
Hi all,
I recently jumped the bandwagon and installed ICS leak on it. Tried Dagr8 Alpha 1 and 2. I also tried Collective. I really love those leaked roms (except maybe Alpha 2, so much lag in my case).
I need help with MX player. One of the biggest reason I bought the note was to watch a lot of my anime series when in the bus going to work/from work. I download animes in MKV format and the subtitles there are embedded. The anime I download are usually 1080p and 720p. I download this video size because sometimes I watch it on my computer too. So I just download it at large sizes so I can watch it anywhere with good quality.
Anyway, when I installed ICS and installed MX player, I'm having horrible out of sync with audio/video. It also gets worse when you watch the video longer. Sometimes out of sync takes a 4-second difference.
If I change from Hardware acceleration to Software, out of sync goes away but the playback is sooo laggy that you can't watch it too. ** Oh maybe not totally go away, as I just experienced right now (while typing this) that I had an out of sync issue even in software decoder. **
I never had any issue with GingerBread. All my anime video plays fine even in 1080p. I have not tried converting to Mp4 but I don't think it will make sense because it was working before with GB. I have a lot of anime and converting it would be a pain for me. Maybe there is a trick that I can do in ICS to fix this issue.
Are you guys also having out of sync issues with some videos in MX player? If not, please try playing videos in MKV with embedded subs and let me know.
I really want to stick with ICS. This is the only reason I'm going to go back to GB before I get to work on monday Please help, I really don't want to go back to GB anymore.
Thanks
bumping thread.
or maybe others can suggest a player that is like MX that uses hardware acceleration to play clips.
Mobo Player does not and I can't find any other player out there that uses HW accel for playback.
Thanks

Thanks. That would be awesome. I'm actually looking for a 1080p mkv movie video (even trailers will do) so I could just test it without subs. Surprisingly I can't find one .. lol.
If you are going to download, try mkv animes + embedded subs. I did other test with some other animes and noticed that not are all the same. Although all of anime have audio/video/subs sync issues but some of them only has .5 seconds lag. Some 2 seconds, extremes are 4 seconds. I would assume that whatever is causing this, is how the anime was encoded but when I play it with Gingerbread, not a single sync issue happens. So its either the ICS leak or MX Player.
Thanks again. Looking forward for your test results

Ok so I downloaded ghost in the shell 2.0 and it's 720p mkv format. The mx player would not use hardware encoding to play it, but it played via "sw encoding (fast)".
I loaded up the subtitles and let it run. I skipped several places every 20 minutes or so to test. It played with no issues, audio and video were in sync with the subtitles.
You may want to try software encoding (fast) on your mkv files, maybe that'll work for you as well. You can adjust the encoder in the settings.

Ok I will try to do it. Maybe tomorrow since I already flashed back to GB. I only used software decode (not the fast one). But its weird that you don't have HW playback. hmmm. All my videos played in HW acceleration fine, of course except the audio/video sync.
Hmm ..
I actually found something interesting. MX player has issues with some subtitles with our leak ICS.
I tried Dice Player which also uses HW acceleration and I don't have any issue with the same video.
I also tried other ICS video players that use HW and there are no issues.
So, i think its just MX player.

I've found that default player is laggy for mkv movies at 1080p. I tried poweramp (which I think is one of the best players) and I couldn't get the video to show up.
Then, I tried the VLC beta app, and like on my desktop is the best player for mkv files. No lag at all on a 1080p movie. Btw on a 90 minutes movie battery only ~20%

Did , VLC vomited and stoped working after attempting to open.
But i did some digging and i learned that the issue is with 10 bit color coding. Hardware codec only works with 8 bit and so 10 bit needs to gets processed by software putting all load on cpu. Its easily confirmed by running 1080p 10bit that starts losing sound due to the load.
However 720p @10 doesn't lack much to be smooth so i think with oc it would go fine. But first i went searching for alternative to MX player.
Bs player got option to skip frames when behind and it smooths out video but audio goes out of sync after a while. After some more dead ends i found someone suggesting Archos player. And it works :victory: . I can't see any lag on my test sample anymore , another file also worked fine.
Guess im saved :]

I use BSPlayer on my Samsung S2 and I think it's the fastest out there. Can you try it?
EDIT: oops... you have already tried it...
Use bs player or the archos video player plus the free codec pack.
I found MX player struggled with some of the MKvs I had until I turned on hardware Decoding. Everything's been fine since then.
TBH it's a shame the Movies app doesn't have all the audio codecs or gestures as it's quite a nice interface and can see all my XBMC uPNP content.
