Hi
I am about to buy an optimus 2x, but before that i have to know once and for all-
does 720p mkv work with dice player/mxplayer with hardware decoding at least decently?
i sold my i9000 to replace it, how are the video capabilities of the 2X if you compare it to the i9000?
i'd appreciate a fast answer- the deal is supposed to be done tomorrow
thanks
The o2x can only hardware-decode a very limited number of 720p videos (some tv shows you "find" on the internet works, other do not, most movies lag), however with software decoding (for example with mx player) it can play another bunch of videos, still not all though. Do not buy this phone for it's video playback capabilities.
wrong forum
Guys.... this is wrong section for you...

Really?
Haven't had a problem yet.
720p with dolby digital (software audio decode mode), DTS (software decode mode).
MP4 with CABAC and 3+ ref frames, shouldn't be possible but it works fine and in hardware too.
HDMI output is clean and has no issues, even with 25ft cables.
Maybe I'm lucky, maybe ergoen wasn't...
I really haven't found a movie that I can't play, I even stream them from my PC/router by mounting the drives in cifs manager and playing them in either mx player or quick pic player.
640x480= 480p
Screen Res= 800x480
SD space=limited
Hardware mode seems to get better battery life,software decoding a 720p movie used around 95% battery over 2 hours with airplane mode on
Hardware decoding a 480p TV show used 25% in 50 minutes, airplane mode on.

specifically, hardware acceleration was working now doesn't
it was working perfectly fine, then, sometimes it would switch the sw mode, and going back to hw mode freezes mx player
updated to latest player
now, hw mode isnt even an option anymore
(on a2)
What type of video file is it. I know this happens with .wmv but other files like .mp4 work just fine when you changebetween hw/sw decoder.
Same issue. Stops playing when I use HW acceleration. It's a 720p .avi file...not sure what codec it is (probably .h264?)
Just tried it with the latest nightly (I know it worked a few weeks ago) and it seems to work sometimes.
hmm ok. Will try updating. Does it also work with mkv files? (for some reason
Same happened to me. Switched to Dice Player and it plays all my videos in HW mode.

yes, i just discovered this 2 weeks ago
shame, mx player is alot better, it can actually full screen a video
I'm having troubles with stuttering when I'm trying to play 1080p blue ray content over HDMI. I have tried stock 2.3 and CM7 both with similar results. I noticed that when I overclock to 1.4ghz stuttering is less. My question is how is possible to play without stuttering?

to me it worked with no problem
i have a friend who works in a service shop who tested it for me
he tested on an LG TV
maybe it`s because of the TV?
i also put a video filmed with the phone on my Samsung TV worked ok also
Well I think "1080p Blue Ray" is too much.
I usually convert my vids to 720p mp4, it plays flawless that way. The phone is not a dedicated video player
O, wait, I'm assuming you're using the stock video player, no? Cause if you're not, that may be the issue.
Other players in the market use software decoding, while LG's stock use hardware decoding. Given LG has full access of the Tegra's code, it allows the player to make full use of the chipset's power.
i think i might know. it`s stuttering because the amount of data needed to be processed by the phone is too big. since you said it`s blue-ray.
also the vid is probably big. more than 8GB. since the standard format used by the phones is FAT. you probably converted it to NTFS or exFAT?
My HW acceleration has broken, I have my videos encoded in h.264 and i can't h/w decode them. vplayer is fine on the other hand.
bumpity bump bump anyone else having this issue?
This is a codec issue on their end. Change the acceleration to S/W fast or similar for video playback. Of course, it's software, but it still works.
Is it a bug on their end? I tried playing some videos in the 'gallery' player and it still stutters, unless the OP's videos are completely broken?
I could have sworn it was working before i had to factory reset it..
nook HD+
I've been trying to get some videos to work on it.
highest resolution video is 960x540.
Anything higher, even 720p, it will say, "we cannot play this video".
This is a huge disappointment. doesn't the hardware itself boast 1080p playback? So why this limitation?
It looks like the only way is to root it.
Yes, it can play 1080p w/o problem, in fact many of us even STREAM 1080p video off from a PC/NAS w/o problem. Most likely the culprit is the player/codec. I prefer and many have agree that BSplayer is probably so far the best video player on android.

I have found the culprit.
It turns out the nook is very sensitive to audio input.
Basically, it needs stereo AAC. Cannot take 5.1 anything. Cannot take MP3 either. Needs to be AAC.
instead of handbrake, you can just use avidmux to passthrough the video input and transcode the audio to stereo AAC. Even for MKV files.
Ithink 5.1 is fine. I never dowmgrade audio from 5.1 to stereo anyway.
I have been unable to find this issue online, which makes me think I am in a small minority that is experiencing it. I received my Gear VR, and it is a fun piece of equipment, though definitely not something I would have spent money on. I watched some Netflix and it played smoothly, though I saw pixels like people were saying. Nothing that can be done about that.
Here is where I experienced a problem. Oculus video says you can play your own videos from your library. It is true, however, I tried watching an hour long video last night and the video would periodically lag while the audio stayed on pace. As such, the audio got ahead of the video. I was able to remove the headset for a second, put it back on, and continue with everything synced again but it would continue to happen throughout the video. Has anyone experienced this, or know of a way to reduce lag so my videos on the device's drive can run smoothly? It was very annoying, and makes me think the Gear VR will become a paperweight if I cannot resolve this issue.
I found it works best with h.264 video and m4a audio, I had similar issues as you describe wirh AC3 audio.
I've seen that happen with *other* devices when a particular audio/video stream was more challenging to decode. I'd assume that using sub-optimal encoding for a video would give the Oculus Video significant "heartburn" in decoding.
If your source video isn't in-spec I'd consider transcoding it into most-compatible spec. That won't require any specific video transcoding tool, it's not a 3D specific process, and the tool of choice will depend upon what OS you run on your computer. For me under Linux I use AVEIDEMUX for this kind of work, generating an MP4 container with AAC 128Kbps audio and the h.264 video stream. I haven't watched a full movie in VR yet but those encodings have worked well for my previous devices (GS5, Galaxy Tab S 8.4, and Nexus 7 2012). It also works for playing 4K video smoothly off SD on my GS7.
