I just tried the MX Player an hour ago.
The result is the same with Stock Mate 10 Video Player and Videolabs VCL Player in which gives you an accurate color
but after a few seconds it stop playing or lag then crash till the last seconds of the video.
Click this link to download the Video File that I used. File size : 724 MB

So I tried the video.
Stock player freezes every few seconds.
It works and looks perfect with MXPlayer but only with HW+ decoding. SW or regular HW either lag and/or don't support HDR.

Smooth Video Playback - Is it even possible on Android?

I'm getting really sick of this.
Android can't seem to play video files smoothly whereas my old WinMo 6.1 device could play them just fine without conversion.
All I want is to be able to convert your run of the mill 350 MB TV show to an MP4 and run it on Android. It seems no matter what I try, I always get choppy video.
What's your strategy for getting this to work? A specific app you use to play or encode, perhaps?
Total video converter gives me no issues

DicePlayer hands down best video player IMO, uses hardware acceleration, plays 720P MKV flawlessly and even heard reports of 1080p with smooth playback.

Well holy crap. Dice Player is fantastic! Not a single hint of lag or choppiness, AND it plays my 350 MB TV shows out of the box with no conversion.
Anyone who wants to give it a try, they have a 3day trial here: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.inisoft.mediaplayer.trial
It's well worth it, I'm buying it today.
Thanks for the tip
I ripped this short film I was an extra in and converted it to MP4. Ran like **** with rockplayer but played fine with the stock video player. Btw here it is if you want to check it out. Give you a hint (I'm RICH *****!).

Nobody should be using MKV file to begin with. Its a dead technology that was never and will never be supported by devices.

Sry man but this is kinda stupid.
MKVs have best ratio as a video container (measured by compression and file size) so why do you say its a dead technology even its highly supported by the community?

1080p Video Testing for Nook Tablet (MP4)

I've uploaded a suite of 720p and 1080p MP4 clips to test for video playback performance. All are made from the same clip (the hunting scene from Avatar). These should be playable with the standard video player.
http://mediafire.com/?depxt4zyvpwel (download folder)
The clips progress from easiest to most demanding. The "min" clips use baseline profile, low bitrate, and minimum compression. The "avg" clips reflect typical scene rips, with medium compression settings and bitrate. The "max" clips mimics worst-case scene rips with max compression settings and level 5.1 setting. The last clip is the original BluRay clip.
clip_720p_min.mp4 - lightweight rip, baseline profile, L3.1, RF23, Ref1, veryfast preset, 7.7Mbs avg
clip_720p_avg.mp4 - typical scene rip, high profile, L4.1, RF21, Ref4, medium preset, 8.5Mbs avg
clip_720p_max.mp4 - worst-case scene rip, high profile, L5.1, RF20, Ref16, veryslow preset, 9.1Mbs avg
clip_1080p_min.mp4 - L4.0, 14.8Mbs avg
clip_1080p_avg.mp4 - L4.1, 16.9Mbs avg
clip_1080p_max.mp4 - L5.1, 18.7Mbs avg
clip_1080p_master.mp4 - master BluRay clip (2-part rar), high profile, 31Mbs avg, 45Mbs peak
The hunting scene is a very intense scene in Avatar and is a good stress test. Per the bitrate graph of the 1080p_max clip below, it has two peaks, 32.5Mb/s @ 0:44, and 29.1Mb/s @ 1:12 (these are when the shot beasts take a tumble into the mud). If frame-drops happen, they would be at these two spots.
Please try any clip you wish to test, and give feedback on whether playback is smooth with no frame-drops, particularly at around the two "mud splashes."
Using stock Nook video player:
Avatar_clip_1280_baseline.mp4 - Looks good, sounds good.
Avatar_clip_1280_high_5.1.aac.mp4 - Video looks good, no audio.
Avatar_clip_1920_baseline.mp4 - Looks good, sounds good.
Avatar_clip_1920_high.mp4 - Looks good, sounds good.
I can't say for certain what frame rates I'm getting, but it isn't choppy. The 1280 clips might be a bit smoother than the 1920 clips.
blah......
1280_baseline - all good, full fps
1280_high_5.1.aac - full fps, no sound at all
1280_high_mp3 - full fps, no sound at all
1280_high - all good, full fps
1280_main - all good, full fps
1920_main - all good, full fps
1920_high - all good, full fps
1920_baseline - all good, full fps
So it can play full hd no problem, but it doesn't like aac/mp3 audio or 5.1 channels?
@DarkDvr
The Android spec for MP4 only allows stereo AAC. 3rd-party video players can play any audio format via ffmpeg software-decoding. But that may invoke software-decoding for the whole video, which means no more smooth playback.
I've reuploaded a revised clip suite to better fit the 4430's performance. The ramping of challenge is more gradated, so you can more precisely determine the NT's video capability.
e-mote, can you suggest the app for encoding for Nook compliant formats and some settings example for that app. Much appreciated.

Are you planning to add Upnp support to play videos from network?
Sent from my System Product Name using Tapatalk
Well done..
Now we can play video in MKV and FLV formats on Windows Phone after installing CCPlayer. Great!
Already paid for the full version!
Excellent application.
The function of playlist and history are fantastic, so, I can take control of the videos that I've seen. This function is essential for video lessons, for example.
It's the only player who managed to address the lack of MX Player (Android). Not completely, but in several parts.
Something that bothers a little, is the slowness of the application, is not excessive, I can use almost normally.
Thanks and congrats for the app!

Hi.
Does this work on the 5.1.1 alpha v65? Looks cool for GoPro videos

Why not? It modifies app, not system.

As pyler said it should work, because I just modified the vlc app.
Have fun watching your videos in Slow Motion
I appreciate your work very much. Could this be possible with Mx player (popular video Player of Android)?
I know MX player, but it isn't open source, and there is no speed setting included
Vlc has nearly the same features, inluding swiping for brightness etc. Because of that I switched from Mx to VLC .
suggestion
Hello , I do not run android 4.3, you can improve speed allowing the videos of other players , including youtube . I know you can encourage !!!!!!!!
would like ios has an app that is called fast forward cydia .
Greetings and happy new year.
MX player don't need to do Xposed module anymore since new alpha build already have this feature
here is some of their changelog
Supports playback speed control. Speed can be changed on [Menu > Play > Speed] or by swiping up/down with two fingers. This feature is not available with HW decoder before Android 6.

The beta of mx player (https://sites.google.com/site/mxvpen/translation/test-build) does have a speed option!
To use it start a video and follow these steps:
select the "SW decoder" mode
press menu and select "Play" -> "Speed"
This Xposed module is just an addition to vlc, to allow speed changes in vlc!
