Playback of Ogg Vorbis doesn't work on LineageOS. I've tested this on a Oneplus 3, a Oneplus 3T and a Oneplus X. I'm unable to find any help on this matter. It seems to be a known issue over a month now on their JIRA.
Is there a way to fix this? Note, I don't want to re-encode my music to mp3.
Also a problem on Lenovo P2
Ogg playback stopped working some months ago. If somebody know how to troubleshoot, I'd like to give it a go.
I'm using the mobile version of foobar2000 for music playback now, which works fine with ogg files.
Edit
I can add that it works with VLC. So the interesting question is what is the difference. I have asked BlackPlayer support.

The difference is that VLC (and presumably foobar2000) have their own codecs built-in. Other players use Android APIs to play music. The issue is with the Android APIs.

Flayers stock music player didn't recognize flac files, and I decided to go for MortPlayer I am using on my Galaxy S. Unfortunately, while Mort did play other music files, it didn't play same flac files it does on Galaxy S. I am even suspecting some system problem with flac playback, but don't have any evidence to support this claim.
As I really love MortPlayer for three major things: flac playback, folder playback and it's free, can anybody recommend working flac player for HTC Flayer, with folder playback if possible?
I found app, name is Player . It is not as polished as Mortplayer, but it does play flac files, and can play everything from specified folder. If somebody a have better suggestion, please share.
PowerAMP hands down is the best music player
AndLess
I use AndLess, simple, and works great! I haven't really tried others so no comments on those.
PowerAmp has some unusuall high cpu usage spikes, it's a bit to shiny for me, and isn't free.
AndLess worked great on my Galaxy S, I like its simple and effective interface. Will try it on Flayer, thx for the tip

Very interested in this phone for my next upgrade. However, using it as a music player will be important to me and most of my music is encoded in AAC format. The official Sony site doesn't list this as being supported by the Xperia S, whereas GSMArena claims that it is.
Does the Xperia S play AAC music files without a problem?
Even if it's not supported by the stock player, you can always use any ffmpeg powered one.

I thought as much - thanks for the confirmation. I'd still be curious to know if the stock player does it, though.
I have some AAC music in the m4a format in my phone and the stock music player is compatible with them. It plays and shows the tags/album art without problems.

Hello to everybody! I have an Xperia U and I try to reproduce podcast in m4a format with chapters ( Release yourself by roger sanchez) but all the app I've tried played only audio part, without chapters support.
Anyone can give me a suggestion?

Deadbeef I think. Try the free version before buying.
Thank you I've just tried but it work only in audio reproduction
After so many apps finally I found one that reproduce mp4 with chapter: RockPlayer Lite.
The only disadvantage is that it cannot work in background!
Guys mx player has updated and removed dts codec, due to. A licence problem so now mkvs play without any sound, does. Anyone have the apk for the player before it got updated or know of a player that will play mkv with sound. Your help would be greatly appreciated
Here's the link to MX Player's official site if you wish to download older versions:

Dice player seems to work fine for me, as an alternative
wow. that sucks, I use mx for mkv animes all the time, saves on mobile data also
here you go

this one mate?
Codec (ARM6 VFP) 1.6f
No you want the Arm 9 variant as that's what the Exonys 4 cpu is based on. VLC works like a charm, living watching full 720 res stuff on my phone

Well, since DTS obviously don't want us to use their codec for free, the eaiest solution would be to simply not use it. This way we won't have to bother with their licensing, and we could keep using our preferred players. I don't think this is the solution DTS wanted, but it works for us.
Since the main issue would be to re-encode everything, I have created a tiny little script to do this easily:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
ffmpeg -i "$1" -vcodec copy -acodec ac3 -scodec copy "$1-dtskilled"
Save it as plaintext to ~/bin/dtskiller and make it executable (chmod 755 ~/bin/dtskiller), then simply use "dtskiller <inputfile>" (e.g. "dtskiller movie.mkv") from the bash prompt. A new file will appear with "-dtskilled" appended to the source filename.
It's a quick and dirty script, but it only depends on bash and ffmpeg, which should make it usable with cygwin as well. It fills the gap as a proof of concept.
It works by re-encoding the audio to AC-3 and just copying everything else, which should make it fairly light on the CPU compared to a normal re-encode. If someone were to make a licensing claim on AC-3 we could easily move to Vorbis, which is a completely free format and virtually any FFmpeg based player should handle just fine, but most people seem to prefer AC-3.
If there is enough demand I might make a GUI version with more features (like audio codec and output file selection) in python, possibly even windows compatible.
i would much prefer a transcoding feature from dts to ac3, rather than an outright re-encoding.
so you would have mx player pro work with a third party plugin that transcode dts audio sources to playable ac3 audio format. is that possible ?
i'm currently using the older mx player pro which still has dts, but it doesn't have the latest jelly bean support as well as other features/fixes. so would love a fix for this :/
dts audio mkv 1080p
Galaxy S3 here.
Im not too clear what im required to do to achrieve dts audio playback...
I uninstalled all refrences to mxplayer, then installed 1.6f as suggested. Then installedvthe main program from the play store.
Was that the right order of doing things?
I use MX player & I love it
I just bought a 9205 and coming from using my Note 2, I miss playing all of my videos with the default player rather than using MX player. I don't know how or why it works but originally I couldn't play such files on the Note 2 with the audio working, but all of a sudden it did. Now, I would like to do the same with this 9205. How is it done without another player (since I sometimes stream my files to my Samsung TV with Allshare) and without remuxing the files? Thanks.

Bump cause I'm also interested.
The Note 2 stock video player supports AC3 but not DTS audio. The Mega doesn't support either of them (So that Sammy could save on the license fee).
On my Note 2, I have to use Dice player and a DTS plug-in in order to play MKV with DTS audio.
I plan to use the Dice player with the appropriate plug-ins to play MKV with AC3 or DTS audio on the Mega. Maybe you could try that too. You could find those plug-ins on XDA.
Try Archos media player.
Thank you for the replies. I am going to have to do some further research. I was looking at my video files and the audio codec embedded are saying DTS, yet they are playing correctly within the default player. Because of the allshare feature, I do not wish to use a third party player. I actually like using allshare more so than miracast since it streams files without stuttering, but that is a different topic. Thank you again for the replies.
mx player supportet.
The latest version of VLC for Android Beta (version 0.9.10) downloaded from Google Play doesn't display srt subtitles anymore on my device (Sony Xperia Z2 D6503). I'm running the latest version of Android available for the device (4.4.4) and the latest available firmware version (23.0.1.A.0.167). The VLC application correctly detects the SRT file and it can be chosen as a subtitle track. However, when playing video there's no subtitles to be seen. I've tried this with a large number of different video files in different formats and with different SRT files stored in both internal and external storage or USB stick with no luck. The video files and SRT files are not corrupted since I've been able to play them with no problems on my device by using other video playback software such as BSPlayer for Android or Sony's built-in video player on the device. I've reinstalled the VLC application a number of times, rebooted the device, soft-resetted the device, cleared the media database and history in the application's settings, and cleared all application data in the system settings with no luck. I've also tried older versions of VLC and the nightly build.
I also posted this problem on the VLC's official help forum and I had a discussion with one of the developers there. From the log file I sent him (available here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/jclfbs2a7hbha2o/VLC debug.txt?dl=0) he detected that the problem is somehow related to system fonts or text rendering modules as can be seen from the following lines in the log file linked above:
freetype spu text: Using /system/fonts/DroidSans-Bold.ttf as font from file /system/fonts/DroidSans-Bold.ttf
freetype spu text: Using /system/fonts/DroidSansMono.ttf as mono-font from file /system/fonts/DroidSansMono.ttf
freetype spu text: file /system/fonts/DroidSans-Bold.ttf have unknown format
core spu text: no text renderer modules matched
Unfortunately the developer wasn't able to help me any further than that. So that's why I'm posting here.
I'd also like to point out that this issue wasn't there in the previous firmware version (17.1.2.A.0.314). I'm currently experiencing this problem running the firmware posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/development/stock-4-4-4-23-0-1-0-167-bug-free-t2929402 As a friend of mine who also owns a Sony Xperia Z2 and uses the exact same firmware is experiencing this exact same issue, one could think that it has something to do with the firmware and Android build in question. Of course it could be any number of things affecting the subtitles but other Android devices I've tried have had no problem with displaying the subtitles in VLC.
So I'm just wondering is anyone else experiencing this annoying problem with VLC and Xperia Z2 and would someone have any idea of how to fix this? Of course meanwhile I can use other video players such as BSPlayer to watch videos with srt subtitles, but I prefer the interface of VLC.
I actually don't know anyone personally that uses either VLC or BS player anymore. You'd be best getting MX player instead, it has native support for everything that's thrown at it, including stylised subtitle support.
Are you sure you're trying to use SRT subtitles? The only time you should get warnings/errors about TTF font files is when a MKV with embedded ASS subtitles can't find a suitable substitute.
Of course there are other viable media players available, I'm aware of that. And as I pointed out VLC is the only media app misbehaving this way. And yes, I'm absolutely sure that I'm using srt subtitles. Same subtitles that have no problem playing with other media players on my device or with VLC on other Android devices. I specifically pointed out the location of the subtitle files for VLC manually. I was just curious about this error. This misbehaviour with VLC started instantly after updating firmware and the same happened to a friend of mine so that got me thinking if there's a possibility of something being different in the fonts department FW- or OS-wise. But I happen to know a couple of other apps as well that are not currently playing well with Android 4.4.4 so it's not that exceptional to find an app not fully compatible with that version of Android. Oh well, maybe I just have to move on and start using some other media player as you suggested. Using VLC was just an old habit for me and after all there's a saying that old habits die hard. And now that you mentioned MX Player as a better alternative. Well it seems that it no longer supports AC3 audio due to licensing issues so in that way it's unfortunately less functional compared to either VLC or BSPlayer. :/ And I happen to play quite a lot of media with AC3 audio on my device. However, there seem to be workarounds available for getting MX Player to play AC3 again.
One year later I suffer the same on a Asus Zen pad 540 and newest firmware, so it seems there are sensible parts of Android, mine is 5.0.
I wish I could use Ac3 with Mx player
