Does Xperia S plays DivX/XviD/WMV/MP4 without installing external player from Google Play
I didn't try, but who what's the problem with installing external player ? MX Player is a beast .. it's the VLC for android !
It just plays everything .. !
It does play my divx avi's and mp4 files with the stock player. Don't know about WMV.
If you need an external player I recommend diceplayer which plays everything I have tried.
I really need this info, Because if the stock player plays all these files then there would be no issue in connecting the XPeria S through DLNA
Xperia s supports only h264 mp4 format under hardware acceleration natively.
Wmv,mkv,divx all require external program, and playing any content with 720p and above via software encoding causing lags and audio sync issues. Hope Sony can fix this..I have tried mxplayer, rockplayer etc. with all those problem still persist. I don't have any problem like this with my optimus 3d (wvga) probably Xperia s have hd screen ?
I just made a test and plugged USB stick to my phone
with .avi movie inside, and played it perfectly fine from the XPlore, apparently it was native video player which played it.
I also have a Dice Player which is said to support most formats and play them with hardware support.
The Xperia S also does XviD in .avi containers just fine with the native player. I was quite surprised personally.
BSPlayer is godlike, i think its even better than mx player, thanks if you think so

Yes I can confirm this, my xvid had 5.1 surround sound though, which the Xperia S understandably couldn't play.
hi
can anybody mod the inbuilt video player to play ac3 audio?
Guys why does the audio not play when playing mkv files on the default player?.it runs the video smooth just without audio which is annoying ,when i use m x player it plays the video then i have to change the audio setting to (audio track 1 english )to hear the audio why is this!! does it need a update or is there a way round it ,or is it user error .your help would be greatly appreciated thanks.
The default player doesn't play DTS Audio (which I think is the case), try another player from market like bsplayer or dice player
Oh this is a shame as pop up play cannot be used thats the reason i wanted to use the stock player hopefully it will get an update to support it.
I've Tried paranoid and slim bean roms, but HD video playback is choppy(720p). Does anyone got a fix ?
You need to either play it with a video player with compatible hardware acceleration codec, such add MX Player. Otherwise you need to encode the video to a compatible codec like h.264.
Or you can download the older MXPlayer version 1.6 which has a play back feature called Software Fastmode which can playback everything.

Hi
I'm using the Archos Video Player with the Archos Video All Codecs plug-in. On my Nexus 10, with Lollipop, the Video Player with the all-codecs plugin works fine when playing MKV files with AC3 streams. On the Nexus 9, even after installing the all-codecs plugin, any movie with AC3 refuses to play the audio track.
Anyone facing this issue ? Any idea if it's the Nexus 9 somehow ?
TIA
Just found out I'm having the same issue... Anyone got thus working?
No player I've tried can play AC3...
Edfit: screap that. The all codec pack for archos on the market fixed it...
+1
MX player with customs codec
I play ac3 just fine
