Default Xperia Album app can't play TrueHD Atmos 7.1? - Sony Xperia 1 Questions & Answers

I've got a 4K movie on my MicroSD card & it shows up in the default album app as 4K which is great however the audio doesn't play, when turning up the media volume, dynamic vibration is also missing, it's almost as if the video player thinks it's not playing a movie, anyways to solve this issue?
Edit: I could download VLC yeah but it's my understanding that it doesn't support 4K, the Xperia Album app does, but I'm just facing the audio issue mentioned above, thanks.

I think VLC does support 4K test with kodi

Does the Bravia engine work on other players?

Like Mobo player etc... Am trying to play 720p MKV movies but am getting no sound with the stock player.
What has Bravia engine to do with sound in MKV files?
Sent from my LT26i using Tapatalk
It will work if you run the player on HW decoding!
MKV= not working well on the default player (there are no sound) but seems DICE Player handle it well!

Well I cant use the stock player to play my MKV films because I get no sound, so I need an alternative player that the bravia engine will work on.
Whats the point in having a hd bravia screen and not be able to use it to its full potential?

Any update about mkv players who support B-engine? And witch support HW-video and HW-sound?
Dice player and BSPlayer support Hardware mode for the most videos. As long as you play your videos in hardware mode, they will play with the Bravia Engine.
Some mkv files lags badly on HW/SW and HW can't utput subs o.o
Fringe.S04E15.720p.HDTV.X264-DIMENSION
Fringe.S04E16.720p.HDTV.X264-DIMENSION
laggy and two players said "do not support this format"
Try MX Player, they recently added SSA/ASS support with embedded fonts.
I tried an mkv file with x264 codec (1280x720, profile [email protected], aac sound, embedded ssa file and fonts), working perfectly. HW mode.

Arc media or mx player
Try Mobo Player but you'll have to download an extra codec for it. But its quite good

you can try to convert your video frame size to 320x240 same with E10i screen size with video converter (i use any video converter - it's free ), in this way you can watch the video with a full screen.
it's work for me and i hope it's will work for you too.
Mx player - for me it is the best
Or i suggest to you to use quickpic instead gallery3D. It is faster and also can play video and gif image

Use MX Player and install custom codec from here on XDA and not from play store
I had same problems on my Z3 tablet compact and I solved by this way.

I tried this but it forces close
https://get.videolan.org/vlc-android/1.0.0/mips/VLC.apk
Tried now with a latest beta version and it works! (only for light videos, but it's something)
https://nightlies.videolan.org/build/android-mips/VLC-Android-2.1.4-20170409-1256-MIPS.apk
Any example?
Here.. I am usually watching movies through our beloved watch

Cool!
Did you convert the resolution to 320x320 or is it a much higher one?

@axiel7, @satmaster How can I play/pause/skip with the VLC on the Pace?
My converted to 320x180 px video runs smooth, but I can't control it while playing.

I can't, I think it's an UI problem
I can acces the UI by pressing a play/pause button at the earphones...
I don't know how to play video on Amazfit Pace, but I can sucessfully transfer music onto the Amazfit Pace using from both an Apple computer and Windows computer.
I use VLC player for mips and copy the mp4 files manually to /sdcard.
Bit Rate?
what bit-rate is the best for videos to play on Amazfit pace?

hevc h265 10bit hdr files

i have a bunch of hdr 4k hevc 10bit 60fps demos for the tv .. i tried them on the pocophone internal media player (software miui version 9) and these demos played flawless with correct colors
i found an update for miui 10 .. so i updated and i wish i didnt .. now the hevc files are stuttering and has washed out colors
i installed 8.11.15 beta rom today and that fixed youtube hdr color issue but still hevc files played at internal media player stuttering
these files plays flawlessly on note 8 and xz2 which is sd 835 ???!!!!!
so any hints ?!!!! i also tried multiple 3rd party apps like vlc and mx player and they showed correct colors but they are stuttering
so any hints here ?! can i return to miui 9 without unlocking boot loader ?!!
do anyone have explaination for the stuttering on such strong cpu and gpu ?!

YouTube 4k 60fps hdr videos play nice on 1080p .
If u can link where 4k60fpshdr videos can be downloaded I can test. Small videos please
I am on 8.11.27 presently so can test if it has been fixed after 8.11.15

thanks sanjay
here is the demo
https://4kmedia.org/the-world-in-hdr-uhd-4k-demo/
please try it on file manager player and on mi video player
using the file manager media player the file plays well with minimal stutter at 8.11.15 but washed out colors .. before on miui 9 it worked flawlessly with correct colors
mi videos on the other hand play the video with correct colors but it feels like the file is played at 30 fps with lots of stutters not 60 fps
you can always compare this file to the hdr youtube video with the same name
there is larger files and bigger bit rates and they should work flawlessly but this file is the smallest in size
@mustafa811
Played the file in diff players
1. File manager played with washed out colours
2. MiVideo, photos, xplore video player and vlc all played the file with correct colours, not sure about the stutter though , video looked quite smooth.
Can't take screenshots or screenrecords of hdr videos so cant post anything.

there is definitely some dropped frames on mx player too lockhrt but since it is 60 fps many ppl will not notice if frame dropped to 30 as it is still watchable
just compare the smoothness of the video on file manager media player vs mx player and you will spot that there is lots of frames dropped
you can try this one .. you will see the cars at 1st driving smoothly at the file manager player in comparison to mx
https://4kmedia.org/sony-camping-in-nature-4k-demo/
also it is quite evident in this video at the 1st in the 1st 10 seconds where the dots splash just try it on both player to spot the difference ) file manager and mx player

I'll try new videos when I get home. I played the first clip. It's definitely 60fps in MX player, the smoothness is unmistakable. I tried in SW mode and it played very slowly with washed out colours.
Tried es file manager media player, it played at 60fps without washed out colours
Tried file manager player, it played at 60fps with washed out colours.
Are you sure you are using HW+ mode in MX and your phone isn't in power saver mode?
Playing a 60fps video at 30fps is actually difficult for phones as it may ask for more computing power. In case phone can't keep up with the 60fps video, we get dropped frames.

well thanks lockhry you participation is hugely appreciated .. i am on 8.11.15 right now and i am not using battery saver (it is not marked)
i defintely have dropped frames on mx player and it is using the hw codec .. the hw codec+ has much more dropped frames
i thought i almost tried all the 3rd party media players but i never thought if es file manager could have its own player
the es player is excellent it has a few dropped frames every while other than that it plays in 60 fps .. it is the best player right now that can play hevc files with minimal stuttering and correct colors
i am waiting for the alleged 8.11.29 update .. on 8.11.15 touch is a bit better than miui 10.0.6.0 but youtube hdr is not wotking correctly .. i eish there is a firmware that could address touch issues ,youtube hdr and hevc file playback
but i think now after trying lots official roms and updates there is a hardware problem with the touch and it is non fixable whatever they do .. writing with keyboard is not flawless as other phones
i use tempered glass i am thinking of removing it as a last resort
thanks again lockhrt for your contribution
