There is a arm7 codec available in the market for the mx player. I am running avi files without issues.

The arm7 codec is for Tegra 2 processor. It will install the codecs but if you don't have a Tegra2 processor theres no real point. I know this as I need to install the arm7 codecs for my Acer A501 but have installed them on my SGS3 too. I deleted them with no difference in playing videos from the S3. They are not needed and aren't used by anything other than the ARM7 cpus... Waste of space and time installing them...
MX Player is great! Have you tried switching to software mode? Usually if it doesn't play in HW mode then SW mode fixes it.
I've stopped updating it since version 1.6f. That was the last version that still had DTS audio support and it still works great!!

Yeah, software decoding is good but I prefer HW decoding for video and SW decoding for audio. Works brilliantly well... :laugh::good:

I have yet to run across any video to stock video player will not play. What type of problems are you running into you with a stock video player?
I have had a few where a weird rip has happened for audio. Video plays and audio won't on stock player. I tend to use avi, mp4, matroska(mkv) and other video files but depending on how they were ripped I find certain players work well and others don't. I've also found some of the larger files use the cpu intensively for video and audio goes out of sync. Software for audio seems to fix this...
Most files work on the stock player but it's annoying to find one you can't play...
Hi,
i've faced the issue not having a GUI interface anymore when i touch the screen.

That would I also like to know.
Edit: Mostly for the .sub files. I have tried Mobo, Rock, QQ, and Vitalplayer and none of them supports .sub files as far as I can see.
I use rockplayer for my series n movies, srt files are working well.
Yes +1 for the mobo player.
I use dvd Fab for all my movies,it also gives you the option to hard encode subtitles in the movie file.
Sent from my A500 using XDA Premium App
I can confirm Moboplayer supports SRT subtitles. As best I can tell, it looks at your video's filename, and then looks for the same filename except ending in .SRT. ALL CAPS file extention was the only way I could get it to work. Good luck!

mx video player. Avi file with srt greek subs. works perfect.
another person for mx player
I've tried about every player available -- BSPlyer Lite, VPlayer, MoboPlayer. MX Player is all around the best - the only player that streams avi movies from SMB share (used with FS File Explorer). I also like MoboPlayer.
I believe the best player for Tegra 2 is DicePlayer - paid ARM 7. It sucks that the paid version is not available and who knows, may never be available from Android Market. VLC is still in beta - looking forward to that one!
Does anyone know what's going on with Dice? Seems like they pissed someone at Google off...
+1 to MX Player, plays everything I have thrown at it, if not in H/W then in S/W mode. Loads subs, dims buttons and resumes play even from LAN.
Hi,
In my phone i have MX Player, Real Player, Zimly, Mobo Player and Easy Video player. But any one of the above are able to play >wmv video files?
Can some one suggest me a video player that can play .wmv files smoothly.
Thanks in Advance.
our p500 cant play some video files smooth..because we have low h/w acceleration..
Smoothly....idk but I believe mx video player has support and its free on the market....download the video player and the armv6-vfp codecs
Sent from my LG-P500 using Tapatalk 2
Yes I can confirm that. I played a 720p wmv file with MX player weeks ago (but of coz it's not smooth on my ICS rom)
I already tried that. MX player plays only audio, it doesn't shows video for .wmv files.

Did you try software decoding(SW) mode?(on the upper right corner while playing).
Otherwise video probably has big resolution and you need to convert it.(480x320)
I tried to play through software decoding but it say "this video can't play using software decoding".
And the video resolution I am trying to play is 640x480. Is this resolution is compatible with our optimus one?

Yep.,640*480 videos are playable on p500.
But if you are on ics rom then it is lagging. Try to play on any GB rom, it's playing smoothly.

Helicopter video
My I9500 came with helicopter video, but after some updates that desapears.
I have tried everything to get that again, but the only option until now was to download from youtube, but I don't think this have the same quality.
The youtube downloaded video (1080p) have only 61MB. I found a 720p mkv version, wich have 164MB. I think the 1080p version have 300+MB
Could someone kindly upload or send me a link to download the real Samsung helicopter video in 1080p wich came with Galaxy S4?
I'll be much appreciated.
I tried playing .mp4 files on my device... some of them play and some of them don't.... i even tried rockplayer... in rock player, the audio comes properly but the video is very laggy... what do i do?

Sent from my GT-S5360
best thing to do? convert the video and audio to SGY and also screen resolution, you can get the most of it by doing that
our devices can play mp4 with max resolution of 640x360 and max framerate of 25. use mx player to play other resolution videos and to reduce the fast or slow audio select sw decoder for audio which comes up on top right corner while playing the video

try mxplayer it will play all file types
Sgy plays mp4 only if tge resolution of the 360p or 480p...any higher than that and it wont work
U could try other players from the market to try it out
I recommend
1)Mobo Player with the armv6 codec
2)Mx player with an armv6 codec
If these two cant play the video...u probably have to download the video in a lower resolution

1- Find or convert to xvid avi format
2- Use cm7 and enable hardware acceleration in mx player (does not work for every video and definitely not on stock/stock based)

That would be because they removed the DTS codecs. License issue.

I'm not sure about DTS mentioned above, but I encountered this issue with AC3. Personally I just recode audio and only audio, doesn't take long on fast computer, since for some strange reason I couldn't make VLC work on my Note3, which would be another option. I doubt Samsung will add codec support in the future updates.

MX player works - you can download the custom audio codec throught the player and install(needs to be unzipped) and then audio needs to be software decoded...
