MKV Play Smoothly - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

if someone has the s3 already or is getting it tomorrow ( mine coming on Wednesday ) can you download or put a 1080p .mkv movie (7-12GB) on your phone or sd card and play it using stock player and dice player. can you see if it will play smoothly? any lags, audio issues.

i would love to see that test aswell,+ if it would be possible over MHL to TV.to see how much frames sg3 is doing while streaming 1080p to TV

Gpu vs gpu
Hi guys,
can sg3 play high profile 1080p h264 videos @ 40 mbs like tegra 3 does?sg2 does not....
Here http://www.dvdloc8.com/clip.php?movieid=13599&clipid=4 and http://www.auby.no/files/video_tests/ (video 'birds') you can download and play stress videos with hardware accelerated video player like dice player, bs player , mx video player etc.
Furthermore , can you play a 1080p youtube flash video ( in browser, not using youtube app), does it stutter???
Let me know...

thanks man. remember it has to be a 1080p .mkv file. cant wait. as im getting my white one tomorrow. play with stock video player and dice player.
also can you install sopcast on the device and run a HD stream for me to see if the video is not laggy and is in sync with the audio and the video is not slow.
i have a galaxy tab 10.1 wifi and when i play a HD stream the video is slow and is out of sync with the audio.
sopcast download link: ( copy and paste into browser)
download.easetuner.com/download/SopCast.apk
open this stream using your S3:

1080p file playing very smoothly with some ever so slight stutters(not irritating by any means) here and there, which I guess could be due to my awfully slow external sd-card). Didn't get any sound due to it containing only the trueHD soundtrack, so I'll try another file on the internal SD-card soon! Still 20% on the download to go. I also had a lot of apps open in the background which could affect the smoothness of the video(stock video player). Gonna try dice player now!

1080p playing perfectly fine on DicePlayer(full version). No stuttering! Getting sound as well(guess there was dts hidden in there somewhere). Guess it's hardware accelerated by that little blue HW in the top left corner. This phone is amazing!

I have a P7500 stock. I have a 720p .MKV movie on my tab with no encoding, and i use Dice Player or MX Player but the movie doesn´t run smooth. How do i make a 720P .mkv file work on my tab ?

For you to be able to run 720p videos in the best possible way you will need to overclock the tab to 1.4Ghz using the OC Kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138167 and then use the S/W Fast acceleration option of MXPlayer. I run them that way and they are as smooth as they get without encoding
I don't see anything wrong with the stock movie player.

The stock movie player won't play 720p mkv files without encoding them and converting them to mp4 or a supported format first.

I'm am 100% surprised that dice player isn't playing your files. I watch Naruto, Bleach, and I've watched a full 1080p mkv with Dice player and it played everything SUPER smooth.
Which version of dice do you have? There is an optimized version for tegra. If you are using an older build it won't work. You also need the tegra2 plugin.

I will check later what version i have, i know i have downloaded tegra2 codec (plugin) but do i have to activate the plugin or something ?
No. It should be active automatically. I know it plays mkvs perfectly. I just watched this weeks naruto on it without any stutter.

What are you using to transfer? USB or Wifi or Bluetooth?
You have to split your movies into less than 4gb parts in order to watch them.
Unless you transfer over WiFi then it can be larger.

So basically the only way to watch 720p mkv files smoothly is through latest dice player?
I´m transcode every 720p movie with handbreak (Samsung 10.1 setup) and now everything runs smooth. And i transfer with USB.

I am using Moboplayer, and have no problems. Never tried 1080p, because with my anime collection, just the HDDs needed, would cost a bomb

Best app for HD Video - DicePlayer (IMHO)

DicePlayer works great on the Prime. MKVs are super smooth!
Thanks for taking down the warez in the first post
Dice Player ad supported version to go out on the Android Market soon, paid version probably to SlideMe (and/or Amazon).

You should remove it from xda ASAP.
You should remove this (but thanks)
this player is perfect, nothing I have used can come close to matching its performance. 8 gig high profile 1080p movies play flawlessly with no lag at all skipping to any point in the movie. very cool
played 11gig movie from mxplayer over DLNA still smooth
I was trying to play some 1080p stuff on my prime and it was lagging and eventually just quit. It was a x264 mkv file with ac3 codex for sound). When I try to play it in mx player, so it's smooth with h/with acceleration but has no sound. The I tried running it on my pc and it worked fine.

I just hooked the USB cable up to my computer and navigated to the internal memory and dropped the file into the "Movies" folder. it took almost an hour to transfer it.
Oh, and in the Market there's "DicePlayer plugin for tegra2". I have that installed. See if that works.

BS player is the ticket, especially with no paid version of dice player available.

Just use ES File Explorer on the LAN tab create entries for your samba shares, navigate to your media collection and when you tap to play the movie you can choose which player to launch it with. Works great with DicePlayer.

Did you copy it to internal memory or an SD card? If to an SD card how is it formatted? You may need to format the SD card as NTFS to properly support large file sizes on the Prime.

Tried ES File Explorer, but the load time was too long to start a large file. With BS it is instant.

Load time may be a little longer (by like 3-5 seconds) but BS Player is noticeably choppier when actually playing high def content (yes I have HW acceleration on).

BSplayer is good to. But I miss that there are no controller/option to adjust the subtitle sync.
There, both Dice and MX has an advantage that they have multiple settings for the subtitle.

ICS MKV Support

I thought ICS was suppose to support MKV by default. I am able to play video but get no sound.
Dice player works fine as it did on 3.2 but was expecting the built in player to work.
Can anyone confirm?
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using xda premium
I think it is a software issue.
Prior to ICS, and I couldn't play a mkv file.. Now I get video but no sound just like you. A step in the right direction. Hopefully will be fixed with an update.
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using xda premium
You can use MX video player and chose an alternate music stream and that plays the sound. You can choose the alternate stream from the music icon at the top when you are playing the Video file.
Hope that helps.
Give QQplayer from the market a try.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.tencent.research.drop
Try BSPlayer Lite from the market for your mkv files. It's free and seems to work well.
I also got no sound from my TFP with ICS with other players.
You don't get sound because the Prime doesn't support the audio codec of whatever video you are trying to play.
i use v player. Always works smoothly with mkv. And if its one of those movies that doesn't like to play right, it will work on mobo player. Mobo player is choppy on mkv for me so I use it as back up

It can support native MKV decoding but you need to take a look at the audio codec as the stock player probably does not support it.
Why would you want to use it anyways? Dice is amazing
I use Mobo Player for all my android devices.
I use Dice and this works smooth as well..
This is so frustrating. I installed every player imaginable and the only one that plays the mkv perfectly is Dice. The sound with the Dice Player is horrible and unlistenable though. All the other players play the sound perfectly, but the video is choppy on all of them. The mkv is a 1080p if that matters. I'm ready to blow a gasket over here !

I have found, at least with my media collection, that Diceplayer works better across all types of codec configurations.
I normally use BsPlayer, since it has built in samba client and therefore no need to use ex file explorer to start dice player. If BsPlayer does not cut it, then I switch to Diceplayer.
Mx video player does not currently decode all formats i hardware on the prime, so wait a little while with that.
I am finding the default video player after the ICS update to be quite capable. Haven't had to download any codecs, or anything.

Yes, I also have been impressed by the built in player but it has had problems with playing audio on many of my files.
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using xda premium
I don't believe there are any of yet. I currently use Dice Player which has played 99% of my videos on HW. For the other 1%, MX Player seems to have the fastest SW decoder. I know Dice has a Tegra 2 plugin (tried it on my Prime to no avail). I wouldn't be surprised if we see Tegra 3 optimized decoding before long. I can't imagine it would be too difficult to do, but since Tegra 3 is so new, there just haven't been any attempts yet.

I agree. The video playback is much better but do not have sound on many MKV 720p high profile. DICE Player is the best for me so far with BS Player second.

I find that the default ICS player is bugged out. Instead of a menu for play,pause and stuff it just shows colored squares (looks like my screen is melting form the inside out) and is obviously bugged out, it doesn't play half the stuff dice player does.
mx player has been treating me the best since I can select hardware or software for the video and the audio separately, allowing me to play 1080p videos and for those that the audio isn't working I can select software decoding of audio. Also MX player is so far the only player that has been handling multiple audio tracks and multiple subtitle tracks well.
@all
OK, sorry, I stand corrected. Just tried out an .mkv on the built-in player which gave no sound at all! Ugghh...
i no this is a bit random
does any one how i can open the default layer app without going through gallery, because am having problem finding my video files through the numerous files on the gallery, thanks

Can you upload a sample? I have different kind of mkvs and i have no problem.
There are a few encoding settings with make problems (like 10bit) but overall i didn't found many h.264 mkv videos which are not playing.

[Q] Using stock video player to play MP4

I have converted the videos to H264 MP4 by using format factory. Every time when I played the video, it ran smoothly in the beginning. But when the video was about to end, it started to lag. This circumstance happens to every video I played. May I know if anybody is facing the same problem ? It's really frustrating.
Why do you want absolutely the stock player?
Try mx video + arm7 mx codecs on market.
get Diceplayer, best out there. no need for extra codecs. just dowload the free version and play your video.
Why do it harder then it is?
