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...
Is there a way to force YouTube to play at least 480p by default?
Even on 4g it plays at 240p or 360p and takes forever to change to 480p..
Any ideas on what I can do?
Do you have unchecked the option in youtube settings that allows for HD videos only via Wi-Fi? When I try to play any video via 3G it normally plays at 360p but i can manually change that to 480p and after this every video is played from start at 480p until i close app. Whatsoever, probably there's no option to make this setting default and active after the app is closed. You can try to use different app to play youtube videos.
Ok, Samsung has integrated recording of UHD video for quite some time now, but I've looked everywhere for an app that will allow me to edit a UHD video, even if I want to convert the video to a lower resolution so if someone doesn't have the ability to play back UHD video, at least I could down convert it to HD so I can send the video to others to watch.
I have looked everywhere, and have yet found a video editing app that will allow me to edit UHD videos. Has anyone run across an app that works, with the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge, or any Android device for that matter, which will allow someone to edit/downscale, etc UHD videos on their device? I'm not trying to find a fully functional video editing application, just one that will at least recognize the type of video it is and possibly allow me to downconvert the video or trim it. If anyone knows of any Android video editing application that works with UHD videos, I would really appreciate a couple of suggestions, unless I'm correct and none exist. Thanks.

Any video I try to watch that is at 60fps freezes after 1 second of playback. On youtube and in my gallery. Any clues on how to fix it? Running 5.1.1 slimlp
I tried on stock, aicp, ressurectionremix, and 60fps videos still wont play.
I think I found out why. I used mx player and tried the sw decoder and the videos play.
How can I make Android use a sw decoder instead?
Has anyone noticed hdr is gone from the netflix app after updated to android pie? I can see youtube in hdr and it has level 1, but netflix says it can only show hd version of hdr movies, my tv displays the same movies in hdr
