Does anybody know of a music player app that will output hi-res FLAC files to Chromecast Audio without down converting to 48khz besides the built in LG Music app? Using the LG app I can play a 24 bit 96khz file and send it to the Chromecast Audio connected via optical cable to my Sony AV amp and the display panel shows that the file is playing 'LINEAR PCM [96kHz]' so I know that the V20 hardware is capable of passing the hi res files to the Chromecast. However, the native LG Music player is pretty awful a far as features and playlist support. I can use the built in Android screen casting feature to send audio and then use any app (including my preferred Poweramp alpha), but then all audio is downconverted to 48kHz.
Any other decent apps besides LG Music that offer casting?

Is it possible to change the default video player for Netflix?
What do you mean?
Netflix provides its own client app for android.
There are mods to the Netflix client app, but all of them originally comes from Netflix I believe.
I believe that the Netflix client plays streaming movies through the default android video player. The same player used when playing movies loaded on sdcard. So my question is can you change that to a different player such as mobo player to improve quality of picture? Many of these software based playes handle the higher bitrate streaming better.
Hi all,
I was wondering if there is a video player available playing movies even smoother than bs player does.
VLC ain't the best choice as there are blocks during playback, even the sound is async.
My test files are big buck bunny, gopro hero3 teaser, some mkv samples of movies. All 1080p.
They all run quite smooth with bs player, but sometimes there are hangs irritating me. Zooming in to fill screen works well with 1920*1080 but with 1920*800 it's a mess, because it fills the height than the width.
I got the slimport adapter from amazon. Theoretically it should be able to play 7.2 sound. All I get from 5.1 ac3/dts movies is 2.0 at my av receiver.
What player do you guys use to watch movies on your N4 with full feature support?
cheers

AWSM!
MX player is what i've searched for, even with ffmpeg for dts :good:
Did you get audio passthrough with slimport working? My N4 seems to downmix the ac3/dts channel, so I am not able to decode it with my receiver instead.
vlc player is not bad:>
I'm not sure if this is the right forum to post this in, or instead the MX Player forums, but I keep reading persistent claims that people are successfully bitstreaming lossless (TrueHD and DTS-HD-MA) audio to their AVR via the MX Player app on NVidia Shield.
My library consists of uncompressed Blu Ray rips made using MakeMKV. I take the lossless audio codec whenever available.
For the life of me, I can't seem to get proper playback. If I enable HW+, video plays with no audio. If I disable HW+ in favor of "HW", I get neither audio or video.
I haven't downloaded or installed any extra codecs specifically for MX Player yet... currently, within settings, it says I have "Use ARMv7 type custom codec".
Anybody having success with this care to expound on what settings are making this work?
I Want Audio Player For Dolby Digital Plus Leaving Google Play Music
Hello,
I'm using the Samsung Gear VR Framework to develop a VR 360 video playback app. The video's I will use all have surround sound that need to be lipsync to the video.
It would be best to add to audio to the mp4 video file, but how would you then get that audio so you can rotate it using headtracking? Android mediaplayer will play the audio, but it will not rotate the field when the user rotates his head. The Samsung GVR framework relies on GVRAudioEngine (cardboard / google vr api) classes to playback audio with use of the headtracking (binaural). However, that only works for separate audio files, not linked to video. I'm in the dark on how to sync such audio to a video. The API doens't expose any functions to get/set playback position to allow me to make my own sync engine (I'm even not sure that this would work)
Any pointers are welcome!
Thanks,
Vincent
