Hello. My firmware is e97020j
I just noticed that in many players (including a default video player) a video quality isn't good enough .
See attachments for example.
The only good result I got is with a software decoding in a mx player. But I think a software decoding is not a good solution.
In other players like a Dice player or a BS player the picture quality is the same bad as in the MX player with a hardware decoding. So I think maybe after an official JB update something went wrong with a hardware video acceleration. I watched the same video on a samsung GS3 with the same mxplayer with a HW+ decoder and the playback quality was OK. It was the same as in my OG with a SW decoder.
So guys do you have any suggestions?
I have the same problem. Any idea ?
When I installed a SnowJB over the official 20j firmware the problem went away. But the att-JB was much nicer for me, so it would be great if there's any way to fix the video playback on it. I tried a ME's kernel on the stock jb and it didn't solve the problem. Also I tried to lgnpst back to the official ics and the playback quality there was fine, just like in a snowjb and some other android devices I have.
I got the way to fix the problem on stock jellybean. All you have to do is turn on disable hw overlays option in developer options.

Maybe its just me, but I've been having some odd issues with video playback on my new Tablet S.
Basically, anything that the Tablet natively supports works just fine. But anything that requires using a Software Decoder (like MX Video Player, or QQPlayer etc) goes weird. The audio and the video will become unsynced as the video playback framerate is much lower than the original file while the sound plays at the normal speed, sending it far ahead of the displayed video.
Does anyone have any suggestions on better ways to play non-supported video files?
Dice player has worked for me without any problems. I've heard of problems with sync on MX but who knows, give Dice a try and see if it helps...

I'm using BS Player lite, had no problems with avi or mkv.
Hi y'all
I dont know if my transformer is hard ware damaged or if i have a software problem.
Problem description:
I just exchanged my transformer prime for a replacement unit since the HDMI was broken on my old unit.
I reinstalled MX player and started playing a video (H264) and it keeps crashing. The player will kill itself and once, it even went into a weird stripe crash and had to be hard rebooted. I uninstalled the codec pack for MX player, did it on software encoding, no hard crash, but MX player keeps dying.
I tried vplayer, which doesnt seem to crash but the audio/video sync is off. Now I cant remember having this problem on my old unit.
I then proceeded to download the glowball demo to 'tickle' the tegra cores, in case its a cpu/gpu issue, and that worked fine without crashing.
unrooted, locked bootloader with all software updates from Asus.
i am out of ideas, any pointers what could be wrong / how i can locate the issue?
cheers

I have similar problem with u on the video playback, however I manage to play MP4 and MKV files without crash.
MV Player stops when I play any rmvb files which is quite annoying as most of my video are rmvb.
I wonder if it crashes the codec when we try installing different Video players.
saw a new video player on the forum and gonna try it tonight ~ hope this will work~

lets keep talking about this issue and I believe some other users have the similar issue too...
wow VLC build for ARM, impressive
What REALLY is annoying that i get a "not supported" from the stock player. How come the standard Android 4 player does not know the h264 codec ?
Did it work?
Try moboplayer out too and see if that is any different.

I will next, cheers
I just tried the VLC port. it does the same thing of crashing (but its alpha, so hey )
edit:
just tried a xvid file with moboplayer, same crash
all the apps just stop playing the video and return to video select screen
i have seen a couple of Tegra 2 optimized players, nothing for tegra 3 yet?
edit 2:
mx player has an experimental build where you can increase the cores to 4 for sw decoding, havent tried that yet
cheers

I have the same on Tegra 3 - tried MX player, MX player with ARM 7 codec, Mobo player - they just kill themselves during the playback....
Will try more players, not sure if that will help at all...
Dice player seems to have the best interface other then mx.
But no crashes and everything runs with hardware decoding that I've tried.
I too am am having lots of mx player crashes after the jellybean update on my stock uprooted transformer prime. The stock player also crashes.... This never happened on ice cream sandwich. Anyone fi d a solution to make video playback more stable?
Try S/W decoder.
I had a similar problem just a few minutes ago. I deactivated H/W+ decoder and it worked perfectly.
Sometimes, hardware can't play everything. You should try and play these videos with S/W decoder.
I might be wrong. I just said what helped me.
Hi there ppl.
Any1 notice that HW decoder for video dont seem to work properly with some of the ICS rom?
In my case,AOKP and offical CM9 nightlies work fine when playing my .avi .mkv file in HW decoder mode whereas for ganbarou ICS ROM and SGT7 ROM, they can only be played in SW decoder mode.
I also try using DICE player and MX player to get the HW decoder to work but they gave the same result. Any1 in the same situation as me or have found a fix already please help me?
I am looking for something than can play wmv/ogm/mkv/xvid/mp4/etc supporting multiple audio streams and multiple subtitle tracks
Any suggestions? I would prefer something that is accelerated so the phone's specs will help video run well as the resolution and file-sizes of the video files are quite large
Dice player....

Works well, but my MP4 video 5.1 sound files have a horrible crackling noise when it gets to loud parts. Decreasing volume doesn't help.
Ack double post! Just wanted to update on my progress:
Mobo player - won't open video for some reason, says it "can't open /mnt/sdcard/extsd........" error. Doesn't seem to be codec/decoder related as it does it regardless
MX Player - Works only in software mode, regardless of which decoder I use the video switched to "SW (FAST)" mode and shows HW as unavailable
Dice Player - Like I said above works GREAAAT except for popping/crackling audio. Software decoding works with audio but makes the video horrible and slow and laggy.
[EDIT]
RockPlayer Lite - Will not play the video file
VPlayer - Crackling audio, slow video playback even with codec/decoder
[EDIT 2]
Dolphin Player - Will not play the video file
[EDIT 3]
QQ Player - Will not play the video file
Shameful triple-post thread BUMP
Desperate for a video player with HW acceleration that decodes 5.1 AAC without terrible crackling noise.
Other alternative is to re-encode all videos but that is waaaay too much work, and is only a last resort.
Must be something in the encode it doesn't like. Stock player should play mp4 just fine, dunno how it handles 5.1.

I was quite shocked when I found out that DTS Support under Android has recently become a nightmare. Seen many people trying to find out a workaround to this by using external decoders, but after testing many different players I think, it seems this might not be necessary to go through all this. Let me share my findings:
VLC Media Player: Does support DTS. Pixelated video on high bitrate movies. Crashed when selecting a secondary audio track. HW Acc Support.
DICE Player: No DTS. Crashes when selecting a secondary audio track.
MXPlayer: No DTS. Everything else works fine.
XBMC: Recognizes every codec out there but there's no HW Acceleration for S3 and most phones. It's initially intended for Android Based Standalone Box Players but support for mobiles will arrive down the road.
Mobo Player: No DTS Support. Selecting a secondary DTS Channel would take me back to the Primary non-dts track and there's no way to switch it back.
QQ Player: Does Support DTS but there's no HW Acceleration support for my device. Pretty decent SW decoding support... (Far better than XBMC) enough for 720p movies but not for 1080p. Battery eater.
VPlayer: No DTS Support.
BS Player: Virtually everything works perfectly. Smooth DTS support (clean audio) Secondary tracks are properly recognized (Though it switches back to the primary track when you switch apps) You will need to adjust your subtitle coding setting for proper non English subs decoding. Try ISO 8859-1 for Spanish subs. Velvet Smooth HW Decoding for movies up to 1080p - high bitrate.
Hope you find this helpful!
Cheers!
Tested on Samsung i9305.
MX Player can support DTS if you use an external FFmpeg build with it enabled. I built my own, so I haven't tried these myself, but the NEON build listed here should work.
EDIT: I should've read the first line of your post. Sorry.
very helpful...
I found the lack of DTS in MX Player annoying.
This article turned me towards BS Player.
Works for anything that I threw at it on my Nook HD+. Thus bought the full version.

+1 for mx player plus custom codec. Infact the bd20 player menus now takes you to that thread to download the codec. No problem playing MKV with DTS even over the network

BSPlayer is best for me. i tried to play some 7.2GB mkv ac3 with mxplayer and many other players and it didnt play, just black screen for a while and skip back to menu or other issues. Then the BSPlayer played this video great. Im so sattisfied with BSPlayer that i bought full version to support them.
+1 BS Player tested with 8gb 1080p mkv file.
