Hello!
DicePlayer is OK for me (AVC videos, including 720p).
I am using the mx player with the codec for neon on the mediapad.
When playing a video file I can choose among h/w, h/w+ and s/w decoding.
You may want to give it another try.
Cheers!

I bought the Nexus 10 mainly for movie playback, I have downloaded several 720p mkv files and 1080p mkv files. The 720p mkv works fine in MX Player, but 1080p mkv does not work at all. (not only the sound but also the video), Ive also tried VLC player , BS player, Dice player, nothing works.
Its weird because Ive seen several clips on youtube where 1080p mkv files do work, but I dont understand how.
Can someone please help me???

MX player and BS player are the best... try with sw/hw decode.
I don't know how relevant this is but...
I got "The Tunnel" free with uTorrent awhile back. Legally. I went to watch it on my older, last-gen A500 (720p mkv file) on MX Player. Didn't work with H/W at all. S/W, would play video and audio. Audio'd desync around 1 minute in with video slowing down. 2 1/2-4 minutes in, audio dies permanently. Didn't work through the HDMI or on-board screen. Could it be similar causes?

Can only someone who owns a Nexus 10 reply.
Use dice player with the custom DTS plugin (guessing that's why its trying to force software playback). Its called libffmpeg.so - do a Google search for it, put it in root, then activate it in the settings menu in dice player. Should play in HW mode. No matter what peeps say, I keep using dice player (can stream over ftp shares!)

Isnt DTS only for sound? the problem is also the video, there is no playback at all, so are you sure it will work? what is "put it in root" ???
Never try a 1080p mkv

why?
The mkv is made of two or more parts: the video, and the audio(sometimes multiple streams). If the audio is unsupported by the hw decoder, it will try to play via software (slower). Root directory /sdcard/
I recently started using dice player because it plays my mkv videos 1080p with dts sound.
Default settings used and no custom codecs.
Mxplayer doesnt support dts audio due to some licence issue otherwise I prefer Mxplayer

You did that with a Nexus 10?

Did you try mxplayer with the custom codec from this thread? 1080p mkvs work for me with this. Using h/w+ decoder , s/w audio decode and 4.0 compatibility mode in the settings.

BS Player works fine for me on my Nexus 10. Have you ticked the "Use alternate HW decoding mode" under playback preferences? Sometimes when I do get the odd 1080p MKV file not working with this, I swap it to software decoding which then works fine.
Dude, HW+ and Software Audio Decoding in MX Player does the Trick... I even created a 2560x1600 h.264 mkv video (25fps) with high preset, and it works smoothly - however, you must have the exact pixel count. If the Nexus 10 has to do rescaling, e.g. because of the navbar, you will get horrible stuttering. Nevertheless, this is pretty impressive. It is all about proper usage.
Edit: 1080p can be scaled up without stuttering, of course.
i don't know what it is you're doing wrong, but MX Player and BSPlayer both play 1080p perfectly fine as long as they're in HW decoding mode. I prefer MX Player since BS is having issues with A/V sync when playing a lot of the smaller 720p videos i have tried. make sure to enable HW+ decoding in MX Player, add the custom DTS codec for the current version and get some proper 1080p mkv files and it will play pretty much anything perfectly.
What is the bitrate of your mkv?
I encoded the video using Handbrake at High Profile (CRF20), which produced 19mb/s in average, with peaks at up to 70mb/s.
My source file was "Redwood National Park" by Jacob+Katie Schwarz (you can find it on YouTube). I avoided letterbox with a combination of cropping and resizing.
Keep in mind that you have to match the native resolution if you want to enjoy insane video playback like this without stuttering. If you create a 2560x1604 file for example, you end up seeing one frame every three seconds...
Does anyone know of a video player that lets you use hardware decoding for vc1 hd videos? ive tried mx player, diceplayer android vlc, all use sw decoding so the video Is jerky and slow.
Wasn't sure where to post this.
I finally got CM 11-20141009-Unofficial-venturiinstalled. So far things seem pretty stable. Except for video playback with MX Player. It will not play wmv or avi files. Any work around?

Have you tried using the HW+ setting?
HW+
I have 4 H/W+ options under HARDWARE DECODER
The first two are checked , Use HW+ decoder and HW+ decoder (local)
The other two are not checked- HW+ decoder (network) and HW+ decoder (10 bit)
Under SOFTWARE DECODER neither SW decoder (local) nor SW decoder (network) are eneabled.
What about codec packages? I have seen these as being available but I don't if they are necessary.
Hello,
Could any owners please test hardware playback for the following files and post their findings? I think MX Player and maybe VLC should support HW playback.
Thank you

Works after installing the ARMv7 codec for MX Player using HW+ decoder/VLC with HW decoder. The last 3 links didn't work, so I just chose other 10bit videos (jellyfish-10-mbps-hd-hevc-10bit.mkv,jellyfish-60-mbps-hd-hevc-10bit.mkv)
Nice, are you in stock firmware? android 6 or 7?
P.S : I fixed the links, thank you.
I can play it on stock 6.0.1 but the 10 bit video is colored like a rainbow in both VLC and MX player in comparison to the normal colors in the second video. I'm using the custom codec for DTS and AC3 support
First link play fine in MX player and MM only with SW decoding. With HW & HW+ colours are wrong.
Second link play always fine.
