Hi
First I want to thank everyone here for this useful forum,
I want to play HD videos in really full screen mode (without black margins in the top and bottom).
I tried alot of video players and they can crop the video to fit the screen but in S/W mode and the videos are so creepy and too slow.
when I change the aspect ratio in H/W mode I can only starch the video but I cant crop the video to fit the screen (without change the aspect ratio) like in S/W mode.
The new version of MX video player has the option called "correct H/W aspect ratio" but it's not work in my phone.
Can anyone find the solution for this,
I have rooted xperia mini.
Thanks in advance...
Sorry for my bad English...
HD or FullHD?
My Live with Walkman is able to play videos, but can't remember which format these were. Oh and I used MX Video Player also.
Will post more info when I try/find.
MX video player
Mx video player pro is the best you can even pinch to zoom ina video, I think there's a free version

Thank you for your fast replay..
I mean HD (720p) in MP4 format
I know that xperia phones can play this format but when I play HD in 320x480 screen there is a big difference in aspect ratio so the video is too small and pixels appears in the video.
So I want to cut the video to play in whole screen and use all screen surface to make the videos looks a lot better.
I can do it with MX video player in S/W mode only not in H/W but the video looks too slow and without Bravia Engine enhancement.

why do you want a zoom option in a video??
and if im not mistaken, there is an option to fit the screen or movie style
you just have to look for it harder

Same as mx video player
It can't keep video in the same aspect ratio using H/W mode
And S/W is too slow and worse quality than H/W mode and without Bravia feature
Tested yesterday my LWW, mx video player.
1080p movie was a bit laggy, sound and video did not match always.
720p movie ran completely without problems in S/W fast mode. I didn't have problems with aspect ratio, I was watching in a dark room.

yup. i have tested 3 bluray/1080p videos and it lags on any video player out there in the market. including mobo player.
It's the phone, that cannot play 1080p video.
RAM amount is too low, 512MB RAM, which only about 100-150 MB is free, depending on ROM and settings.
Maybe you have a slow sdcard.What class is it?

1080p but in which format?I observed that xvid plays very smooth.H.264 on the other hand it's kinda heavy.Maybe 1080p xvid can play without lags haven't test it though.

Actually first question was for Ahmed Abbass, i messed up the quotes
H.264 it's pretty heavy maybe xvid can do better with 1080p.
seriously why would you want to waych hd/bluray/1080p videos on a 3.2 inch screen.
why not view it on a pc/laptop/hdtv/ps3 instead?

S/W fast mode is worse than H/W in terms of quality and smoothness
It's even worse than normal S/W mode
Try to use H/W and watch the deference
Anyone can fix aspect ratio in H/W mode???
(I'm talking about normal 720p video not 1080p)
Hi All
my rom is official rom ICS build75
my question is why my movies ( 720 , 1080 ) are choppy in movie app and mx player and etc app ?
I test my movies in GB and JB and not choppy and are very smooth .
also my movie use HW for display but are choppy . SW is also very bad .
there is fix or tweak that my movies playback be smooth like GB and JB ?
Maybe that is an issue with ICS? Because it was doing the same thing on mine. The only videos that played smoothly were the 480p ones.

Nobody have'nt way to fix this problem in ICS ?
I Love ics 75 build and my only problem is video playback .
what is cause this problem ? Please Help

The cause of the problem is The ICS does not leave much RAM for processing the video codec.
The HD videos will make the playback choppy. You can try and stop back ground process and run the video file again.
But not much can be done.
Run videos of lower resolution and things will be fine
720p mkv that need software decoding lag (doesn't play in default player). Mx player seems to stop for few frames then jump forward and then play normally. In Vplayer video slows for a bit then seem to go faster then normal and then slower - repeat.
This is bad...

Are the videos on an external SD card? If its a slow card, this may cause your lag. Make sure you have a class 10 sd card for these high bit rate files.

Try VLC Media 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.
Please Help ,
When i play any video 360p , 720p Mp4 or mkv , the video plays smoothly but i am unable to hear sound

Works fine for me on hw decoder
Sent from my XT1022 using Tapatalk
720p mp4 files works fine on both sw and hw, but I faced some issues while playing mkv files with hw decoder but worked alright when I switched to sw.
AFAIK on moto e sw mode is much more smoother than hw

i have a bunch of hdr 4k hevc 10bit 60fps demos for the tv .. i tried them on the pocophone internal media player (software miui version 9) and these demos played flawless with correct colors
i found an update for miui 10 .. so i updated and i wish i didnt .. now the hevc files are stuttering and has washed out colors
i installed 8.11.15 beta rom today and that fixed youtube hdr color issue but still hevc files played at internal media player stuttering
these files plays flawlessly on note 8 and xz2 which is sd 835 ???!!!!!
so any hints ?!!!! i also tried multiple 3rd party apps like vlc and mx player and they showed correct colors but they are stuttering
so any hints here ?! can i return to miui 9 without unlocking boot loader ?!!
do anyone have explaination for the stuttering on such strong cpu and gpu ?!

YouTube 4k 60fps hdr videos play nice on 1080p .
If u can link where 4k60fpshdr videos can be downloaded I can test. Small videos please
I am on 8.11.27 presently so can test if it has been fixed after 8.11.15

thanks sanjay
here is the demo
https://4kmedia.org/the-world-in-hdr-uhd-4k-demo/
please try it on file manager player and on mi video player
using the file manager media player the file plays well with minimal stutter at 8.11.15 but washed out colors .. before on miui 9 it worked flawlessly with correct colors
mi videos on the other hand play the video with correct colors but it feels like the file is played at 30 fps with lots of stutters not 60 fps
you can always compare this file to the hdr youtube video with the same name
there is larger files and bigger bit rates and they should work flawlessly but this file is the smallest in size
@mustafa811
Played the file in diff players
1. File manager played with washed out colours
2. MiVideo, photos, xplore video player and vlc all played the file with correct colours, not sure about the stutter though , video looked quite smooth.
Can't take screenshots or screenrecords of hdr videos so cant post anything.

there is definitely some dropped frames on mx player too lockhrt but since it is 60 fps many ppl will not notice if frame dropped to 30 as it is still watchable
just compare the smoothness of the video on file manager media player vs mx player and you will spot that there is lots of frames dropped
you can try this one .. you will see the cars at 1st driving smoothly at the file manager player in comparison to mx

I'll try new videos when I get home. I played the first clip. It's definitely 60fps in MX player, the smoothness is unmistakable. I tried in SW mode and it played very slowly with washed out colours.
Tried es file manager media player, it played at 60fps without washed out colours
Tried file manager player, it played at 60fps with washed out colours.
Are you sure you are using HW+ mode in MX and your phone isn't in power saver mode?
Playing a 60fps video at 30fps is actually difficult for phones as it may ask for more computing power. In case phone can't keep up with the 60fps video, we get dropped frames.

well thanks lockhry you participation is hugely appreciated .. i am on 8.11.15 right now and i am not using battery saver (it is not marked)
i defintely have dropped frames on mx player and it is using the hw codec .. the hw codec+ has much more dropped frames
i thought i almost tried all the 3rd party media players but i never thought if es file manager could have its own player
the es player is excellent it has a few dropped frames every while other than that it plays in 60 fps .. it is the best player right now that can play hevc files with minimal stuttering and correct colors
i am waiting for the alleged 8.11.29 update .. on 8.11.15 touch is a bit better than miui 10.0.6.0 but youtube hdr is not wotking correctly .. i eish there is a firmware that could address touch issues ,youtube hdr and hevc file playback
but i think now after trying lots official roms and updates there is a hardware problem with the touch and it is non fixable whatever they do .. writing with keyboard is not flawless as other phones
i use tempered glass i am thinking of removing it as a last resort
thanks again lockhrt for your contribution
