Hi there!
When I try to play 720p, 1080p and other resource-intensive videos (software mode for them very laggy) - there is only black screen in MX video player and BSPlayer.
I have tried cyan alpha 3, alpha 3.5, last xronified versions - still no luck.
As of what i have read - hw video decoder is broken when SoD fixed in kernel.
Logcat is here - pastebin . com / r23jkQzP
Maybe developers can look to this and fix this problem? Cyanogen is much better than WebOS, the only serious problem is that I need to reboot to WebOS to play HighDef videos. If I can help to fix it by any way - I'm ready to help.
I have insufficient posts to post directly in develoment forums, so doing this in general.
What type of video are you playing? Videos are playing pretty damn well for me using Mx Video Player. The videos that are hardware decoded in Mx Video Player are flawless and the software decoding does a pretty good job as well. Take for example this torture test video:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9502388/Planet.Earth.720p.Sample.mkv
High Class h.264 @ L5.1 720p mkv file with 6 channel AC-3 audio. Pretty much the toughest 720P file to play that I have seen. With Software decoding, MX Video Player flawlessly plays it up until the bird scene when the bitrate spikes up over 21000Kbps.
Not bad for an alpha release. . .
Hi everyone i have an issue about Xperia z2 i have a Lot of Videos movies 1080p 2 gb mp4 format when i play in movies app or bs player or mx player videos are laggy fps is normal not slow but frame is jumping lag my firmware stock. 167 but I downgraded. 69 version videos are normally not laggy perfectly normal played...

Well heating is normal when you have glass back ,but i dont get it that videos are laggy, was working perfect for me when i was on KK.
Thank you for replying I think decoding problem. And yes this laggy inconspicuous way not to much It's only have hw mode playing but old firmware 69 version it's not happened in hw mode its not laggy it's only 167 firmware version laggy videos and only 1080p format not 720p works fine so my friends phone is z2 and same problem have but he doesn't care that's problem.because camera videos not laggy 4k videos not laggy or 1080p record just fine it's only has downloaded videos from torrent. And avi files just fine I think not device problem it's just Sony firmware problem because like I said old firmware 69 version hw mode torrent videos or any 1080p convert videos playing just fine not laggy or jumping frame it's perfect
Hi guys
I have galaxy Alpha with stock rom 4.4.4 France (last bulid number ) and i have tested any rom
Why Galaxy alpha dosen't support HW+ decoder and can't Playing FullHd Video?
It can't because its display is only 720p not 1080p, try "VLC" or "MX player" (but even that may not be stable)
I am using MX Player and it's playing Full HD with HW+ decider without any issues. Of course the display on the phone is only 720 as you know
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.

yeah the stutter needs sharp eyes .. you can notice it in panning sequences like the one with the boats .. anyway thanks sanjay for the trial .. and wish they could fix it soon
MiUi 10.0.6.0

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
https://4kmedia.org/sony-camping-in-nature-4k-demo/
also it is quite evident in this video at the 1st in the 1st 10 seconds where the dots splash just try it on both player to spot the difference ) file manager and mx player

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
Hi all, does anyone have any ideas why I'm getting these colour artifacts when playing back 10 bit 4k video on my laptop ? It plays fine on the phone but not on laptop. Also it's not due to having a kite version of resolve as the only player that plays it properly is Kodi (struggles a bit).
It's a Shane because I can't edit and grade the footage in resolve. 8 bit works flawlessly.
Many thanks
