1080p video and 3rd party player don't work - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I can't play the helicopter video nor any other 1080p video with MxPlayer or VLC.
Videos up to 720p work fine.
Only the Samsung player works with 1080p.
Anybody else?

ticking "hardware overlay" in developer options fixes it for me.
is there any downside?

BS Player and RockPlayer2 is good.
It has a very usable playlist with shuffle function that I need.
I also buy the pro version to support the developers.

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.

Mx player

I'm having a hard time playing certain videos that I had made on my tablet like some avi files and some mp4 and I'm using mx player is there a codec I have to download to use on here

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

Thanks alot

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.
Anyone else faceing this issue? And yes, i've set the option to do so.

[Q] Can't play this video after loading Slimbean

Loaded Slimbean on my S4 yesterday. I love it by they way, real clean look.
I can't watch videos though, specifically avi files, both locally and streaming from my NAS. Youtube works, recorded video works (minus sound), but not the rest of the content that I could play on my stock rom.
Did some googling, and I found some references to the DPI settings, so I tried setting that to stock (480), but that didn't help.
Any suggestions?
Could be some bloat that was removed, is that a tw rom or aokp?
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
Loaded slimbean build 6. Still have the issue playing videos with the native video player and es file manager. I really like this rim but no video is a deal breaker.
Gonna try some other video apps but its a shame I even have to

MX Player?

Hi,
So got my i9505 today, previously had the i9100.
I've got an issue, whereby when I am in a browser and I want to play a video, MX player doesn't play despite being set as the default player, instead it's video player that plays the video.
I've reset defaults for MX and set it as default again, to no avail... I can't seem to disable the Video Player app in App Management as I'm sure that would probably work... I'm guessing I'd have to be rooted... Which I don't really want to do just yet.
Anyone got any suggestions or advice?
Thanks in advance!

So stock player plays the video? You should be able to deselect it as default

Whenever I go to settings > more > Application Manager > all
I choose video player, and everything is greyed out, can force stop only...which results it starting up again when video is played.
I can't disable it, can't even untick show notifications.
This is the International S4.
See screenshot.

Yeah, just played around with Firefox and Dolphin and they seem to have it as it should be.
So to disable the stock video player, i'd have to root, then I can freeze it?
(rather not really root a phone i've hard barely a day, was waiting for root and customization when I get bored of TouchWiz).

any video from the net should play in stock player, it has gesture the same as MX... i had my s4 on release day in Aus for about an hour before it was rooted... i don't see what you have to lose in doing it now

The default browser on the S4 is based on Chrome, not the AOSP browser. That's why flash doesn't work, why clicking two close links shows a magnifier like Chrome, and why scrolling sucks in it.

question?
did you installed the codecs?

does youtube app support 1080p?

hi I was wondering if official youtube app supports 1080p on note3.

Unsupported audio codec

Hi All. Im getting the above message and no sound when playing videos (.avi and .mkv) through the stock app. These same vids played fine on stock note 2 video app.
It works with 3rd party app.
Anyone else had this?

Surely somebody else has thos issue.

That would be because they removed the DTS codecs. License issue.
Diceplayer and VLC work.

Thanks for the reply. Guess no chance of getting round this in future? Ive been using VLC which does the job. But would like to make use of the stock functionality.

longshot but if it indeed a license issue is it possible to buy a license from digital theater systems?
Bumping this on the off chance any progress has been made on this

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...
