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

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
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.

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?

H.264 it's pretty heavy maybe xvid can do better with 1080p.

Hi! I'm trying to find a way to play 720p videos smoothly on my Tablet S but I can't find a proper bitrate for it. I tried 4000 but it's still laggy. On some tutorials I found they were saying to use 1500 as bitrate but that is ridiculous. A 720p video with bitrate 1500 will result in a lot of dead pixels. So what can I do?
I'm using Format Factory to convert the MKV videos to MP4 H.264/AVC 720p
Help please :crying:

The best video format for the Sony Tablet S is MPEG-4 (mp4) encoded using a H.264 CODEC with a pixel size of 1280 x 720, a bit rate of 1500 kbps, and a frame rate of 29.97 fps. The video's audio should be stereo AAC with a sample rate of 44100 Hz and a bit rate of 96000 bps. I use and recommend Handbrake for converting videos and MX Player Pro for playing videos.

Try QQPlayer. I had a lot of problems with video playing slower than audio when using Dice and MX, but QQ seemed to clear them up. Other than that, try using a video converter (such as Handbrake) and use the Apple TV preset. Works for me.
I'm also disappointed by the Tegra 2 performance in video. Here are some thoughts and questions.
From my personal tries, all video players (MX, BSPlayer, Dice) have about the same performance (perhaps BSPlayer with ARMv7 plugin is a little better). Does every video player Tegra 2 video playback implementation are based on the same library?
Is there some way to make some low-level (asm) optimization that would help? I would gladly take a look if there was a way to do it.
I've noticed that even 720P High profile have some lag! Not very serious, but noticeable!! For example, Rise of the Silver Surfer 720P-HP trailer (see h264info.com/clips.html) lags at several points in the video. It may be clearly seen with BSPlayer, when displaying FPS information ('(i)' button during video playback).
1080P Baseline Profile seems to play smoothly (and H/W acceleration is enabled).
Video players disables H/W acceleration for High Profile 1080P so, of course it is terribly laggy. Is it a technical requirement? Isn't there a way to force H/W acceleration for Full HD High profile videos, even if that wouldn't mean full speed?
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.

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.
I ripped an UHD Bluray disc and copied the 52GB file to a MicroSD card. When I tried to play it on my V30, I found:
1. the internal video player recognizes it is HDR10, and showed a HDR10 tag.
2. the fast forward functionality is disabled. I can't FF and if I paused the movie and opened it later, it played from the start.
3. even though it supports HDR10, I noticed there is some black crush on the OLED screen.
4. it does not support the embedded forced subtitle. It does support external subtitle like a SRT file.
5. tried the MX player. It supports the embedded subtitle, but still no fast forward. It does not support HDR10, so picture quality is worse.
The biggest issue is #2, as I will only watch a segment of the film at a time. No fast forward means I have to start from the beginning of the film every time.
Exactly same issue here. The bug is known. You can use all normal features such as fast forward with VLC. HDR officially works, but doesn't work because of v30's software bug, the image is brownish in every player you try it with,no sign of HDR. They'll fix it with oreo I think.

It seems the FF-disable bug is in the hardware decoding. Every player that uses the hardware decoding has the same behavior. I hope they fix it in Oreo.
The hardware acceleration theory is interesting. Youtube HDR Videos works perfect tho on every v30, looking gorgeous.

It is not my rom, which is T-mobile. The HDR10 video will play in HW and HW+ mode in mxplayer, but the HDR metadata is not processed, resulting in a washout picture compared to the internal video player, which handles the HDR metadata correctly. In both players, I can't do fast forward, or jump to a specific time in a movie, on my ripped UHD HDR10 mkv file.

i have tested it with "Sony Bravia OLED 4K Demo", it's a 724MB mp4 video file with lenght of 1min and 23 seconds.
it plays the same with MX and intenal video player. i can see the washed colors u talk about when i switch to SW decoder.
i advise you to CHECK your MXPlayer's hardware decoder settings

It is playing in HW. SW mode does not work due to high bitrate HEVC. Anyway, that is not the main issue, the main issue is the player cannot jump to a specific time on the movie, so I cannot pause and watch later. I suspect it is the limitation or bug of the mediaplayer API from android.

i can asure you that i can jump to specific time with MXPlayer on the video i specified
LE: i just downloaded some more samples and they work perfectly (i can seek, no washed colors), i can use either HW or HW+.
they aslo play in SW but with washed colors, no contrast and very laggy.
something is wrong on your end for sure. try a CLEAN rom install and try playing hdr10 videos without installing or configuring anything else, not even magisk, root, viper or wahtever. just use CLEAN rom.

Well, my finding is on a ripped UHD bluray mkv. Until you can test one (think 50GB+ with full UHD bluray spec) on the mxplayer, and can fast forward and jump to specific time, it is not relevant to my issue.
By the way, the fastboot cmd is disabled in the T-mobile version V30, and root is not achieved, so it has no "magisk, root, viper or whatever." It is in the factory original ROM state.

give me a link or upload it somewhere
After the first updates to Oreo and the next, the phone never plays perfectly smooth movies, even FullHD is already slightly stuck what you see after the full-length movies (mp4 and mkv) and more so in the recordings from FullHD and 4K. I returned to Nougat and it is perfectly smooth.
This is confirmed by other users in Poland and my tests in stores - phones from oreo do not play the material from the camera smoothly in fhd 60fps and 4k, you can always see how every 0.5s there is a clasp on the prison cage.
what's worse at dynamic movie scenes, it bothers me where the 24fps film is torn up to 22fps because a few falls for a second ...
