Hi all,
From sometime my SP give me jerky video output while play videos with the harware decoder on, of I switch to software mode video playback was ok but naturally only forgot hd videos since CPU don't seems to have enough power to play hd video itself...(tested on mx player since standard video player can't have the ability to switch from hw to sw)
Since that problem seems to me that was happened from when I've installed z3 camera with framework etc, I'll try to reinstall old camera(but the z3 was REALLY REALLY better to take photos than the standard one) or maybe reinstalling only video decoders if possible...
Any idea on that trouble?
Thank you everyone in advance!

Does the Samsung Video Player have hardware acceleration? It's the only explanation I can come up with because it can play 720P MP4 videos just fine, whereas video players from the Market can't. Plus, it seems that the battery life is much better if I use the Samsung Video Player to watch videos whenever possible.

Yes. There are several players from the market that can also use hardware acceleration (ie. RockPlayer, mVideoPlayer), but they can only do so with formats that the stock video player supports. If the phone doesn't support hardware playback of a certain format using the stock player, then you have to use a software playback with RockPlayer, QQplayer, vPlayer, etc. (which is very suboptimal for high-res video in terms of quality and performance).
Yes it does due to the framework that samsung uses. Thus video deciding is done by the gpu rather than cpu.
As long as the 3rd party video player you choose can use the default codecs, it will have the same performance as samsungs video player. However most are based on ffmpeg decoders.
If you plan to use a non samsung based rom. The open codecs will use ffmpeg decoder which will do processing via cpu.

ohh nice to know...
I'm owner of the SGS2 and i want to replace my phone with NOTE, but only if video playback with "crop zoom mode" is supported (it isn't is SGS2, so it's uselles for watching full HD films ).
Please test some video file (divx or mkv downloaded from web) in STOCK VIDEO PLAYER (this is important, because stock player use hw acceleration only) and try zoom modes.
SGS2 have only "stretch zoom mode" with HW acceleration, i'm affraid that NOTE will have the same issue..
Just tried it out, didnt see a crop zoom option. Only options I saw was normal, stretch and fit to screen.
Doesnt MX video use HW acceleration? I use it and dont have any problems playing HD videos.

Yeah I was just about to say, just use MX video. It's better in many ways really.
MX video player have support for HW acceleration... But if you can't use crop zoom mode in stock player, it will not work in any other player (yes it will work with SW acceleration, but try to play 1080p in SW mode). This is driver related, just try it and you will see...
Thanks for the test anyway.
when video is playing it is only 2 or 3 pictures per secund.
It 's to laggy to watch.
Video decoder is not working (properly). That's why all videos lag.
It's said in the first or second post-I don't remember exactly- that video decoder doesn't work.This also means that you can't play videos you import in your phone (in the sd card for example) as well.I think.
Same happens to me

Video works for me
I installed "Mobo" player and chose soft decoding in it.
So video works for me

I was actually answering Vicky26 on importing video to sd card...mobo works fine there....for streaming if you somehow get the streaming link, there is an option in menu of the player for streaming. I somehow made it work using default manager, setting streaming default as mobo....copying link url by long pressing video in browser and re-pasting it in the browser.....so when you zoom in...you see two play video icons(arrow), one of them opens the video in mobo
Thanx!I actually switched back to my GingerDX because of some other problems I also had, but I will try this as soon as I install Paul's rom again
Just updated my MX Player Pro (to the current latest version 1.7.19) which is arguably the finest Android media player - it plays everything you throw at it. I figured since the HTC One has the best full HD smartphone display with the industry highest PPI in the world right now, i should at least enjoy the maximum it offers. So, i played a full 1080p MKV video but it was lagging a little on my HTC One M7. I disabled power saving mode to unleash the full power of the Snapdragon 600 SoC, but the slight lag persists. By the way, i'm on stock Sense 5.0 with Android 4.2.2, never rooted and my AnTuTu score is 26511 so i doubt if my M7 is being slowed-down because of bloatware, defects, etc. I also closed all other running games and apps, but still the issue remains.
The specifications of the 1080p MKV video that i've tested:
File Size: 9.83 GB
Video: MPEG4 Video (H264) 1920x800 23.976fps
Audio: Dolby AC3 48000Hz 6ch 640kbps
Subtitle: VobSub [Subtitle]
My current settings on MX Player Pro: i'm using S/W decoding for both video and audio. I disabled H/W+ for video, audio, drawing subtitles and aspect ratio correction. Basically, i turned off H/W+ everywhere in the settings. But then, i also tried enabling H/W+ for video only, and then for both video and audio. But still, the slight lagging didn't go away. I also downloaded a custom codec ARMv7 Neon from XDA forums directly from the Settings of MX Player Pro itself. Still, no luck.
So, i want to know what are the best MX Player Pro settings that you personally use to achieve a smooth viewing experience (without lag) when playing the most demanding videos, like 1080p? FYI, i have zero issues with 720p videos.

Try playing MP4 1080p files..they just play fine
and may be its because for both video and audio (5.1) you need S/W decoding and this may be the reason for your lag too
Even with S/W decoding too it should work but causes a lot of battery drain
I reset the settings and using S/W decoding everywhere. I restarted my phone and now it's working fine. I guess a good ole reboot did the trick.
I'm also using RGB 16-bit. I tried RGB 32-bit mode and haven't noticed any slowdowns or noticeable differences.
The original video file was actually in MP4 format but i wanted to mux the subtitle into it to end up with only one MKV file (instead of an MP4 file and its corresponding .sub subtitle file), so i used MKVtoolnix to merge the .sub file into it. Maybe it's the .sub file giving MX Player some extra work. Usually, .srt subtitle files are much lighter in terms of file size and for decoding as well.

the solution to your problem is simple,... you should try to play with s/w decoder in your mxplayer and it will go fine, it also offers much more loudness adjustments compare to h/w decoder,. you will see the option in front of you! xD
Personally i use hw+ decoder for every supported format. It plays 1080p videos very smooth here. For all the other formats you should try sw with yuv instead of 16bit or 32bit rgb.

very nice, you don't read but give advice..., dude he said already use S/W
@topic i recommand use h/w instead and test with other video files also.
hw vs sw decoder?
I thought hardware is the only way to go and software is for last resort. My AC3s are playing back in stereo and now I'm trying to figure out why...
Thanks in advance...
Hi everyone,
I have an issue with fullhd video playback. When I use mxplayer with hw decoder, it has lag for every second, but not with sw decoder. It happens with both videos from cam corder and outsource.
Beside, when I watch videos on website (by using chrome), It looks like slow motion The sound plays in front of video.
So could you suggest any solution? I dont want to use sw decoder because hw is strong enough to play fullhd videos.
Im using stock 4.4.2 with root, no unlocked bootloader.
Sorry for my eng
Update to 5.1.1
Hmm i think os is not problem
help me please
