Mxplayer hw+ on padfone s - Asus Padfone X and S

Dear All,
I am padfone s ww user with latest lollipop. When i use mxplayer to play video, most of the time it will use software decode. If hw is availabe, the beginning of the video will have a broken image for few seconds. In addition, when i use ds file to access my nas and ply video on the harddisc, it won't allow me to fast forward. Does anyone know how to enable hw+ on padfone s? It always said hw+ is not support. Anyway to get it works? Thx

Your Lollipop is the unmodified ROM from ASUS? Did you do SKU conversion (i.e. switch between TW and WW)? Your app is MX Player or MX Player Pro? The description in the Play store says that the Pro version is ad-free so I am guessing the functionality otherwise is the same. Mine also has ASUS' latest LP ROM loaded and I use MX Player Pro and this allows me to select HW+ decoder:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
To get it to work I just install the app and launch and then open decoder settings and select HW+.
I used to own a New Padfone Infinity (A86) and with that phone neither HW nor HW+ decoders would work. It allowed me to select these but the playback was very choppy.

Thank you. I am on 12.2.2.43 official rom and hard reset has been made after rom upgrade. The phone is come with ww version and i never change it. Just using the free MXplayer. I selected the option as in your screen cap. I can play the movie as normal. Just when i see a moive, I see that it is using software decoding. In that case,movie play fine. Just wonder it will consume more battery. In some case, it allow me to use hw, as I mention, it has 2 second broken screen at the beginning and don't allow me to do fast forward even I move the time bar to the middle of the moive. It never allow me to choose hw+. I am on 1.8.4 beta. But tried 1.7.x and 1.8.6 beta but result is the same.
By the way, i am using the app ds file to access the file in my synology NAS. Don't know if it is a cause this problem.

When I'm watching a movie it shows HW+ switched on. I also have a DiskStation but I use DS Video for watching movies off it. In the screenshots attached here I am playing a movie directly from a microSD card inside the phone and another movie via DS Video.

I have MX Player Pro version 1.7.40 installed and the phone is running KK from ASUS ROM version 11.10.7.11.
This is the version that the phone came preloaded with and also the version I've found to be most stable with least bugs. I have tried LP and MM and haven't found them to be giving good enough new features to balance up for the greater number of problems that comes along.

I think my problem is caused by LP then . I did not aware that whether this issue exist before i upgrade. Thank you for your help these days.

Your problem may be something else. Today I played around with LP and MM, just to try these out for a few hours. HW+ decoder works in both in MX Player Pro.
But these ROMs are so bad - bitter and angry tears - a sigh of relief when I'm back on KK again.
I wish JB was available for the PFS. This was the best ROM on my previous Padfone, the NPFI.
