For owners of the SM-G9750 (S10+ CN / HK model), I'm trying to get some verification here on a possible software issue. I'm trying to play a 4K video file locally (specifically a 4K HDR H.265 / HEVC MKV @ 24fps video, but I believe this bug may apply to all UHD video playback - I'm not sure as I haven't done enough testing) and it seems to be dropping frames and stuttering throughout. I cannot get it to play smoothly despite trying all of the following:
Setting the phone to Performance mode.
Trying different players - in this case, the default video player, MX Player Pro and VLC.
Moving the video player app to Game Launcher and optimizing them for performance.
Forced 2D GPU Rendering in Developer Options.
Changing display resolution from WQHD to FHD.
Moving the video file from SD card to internal storage.
Disabling / uninstalling all apps which use Accessibility Services.
Clearing cache.
Factory reset.
None of these worked. ---UNTIL--- I tried using the screen recorder, from the Game Launcher settings, whilst watching the video. Playback was then perfect! No dropped frames, completely smooth, like it should be. The other alternative was to use software decoding but then colours would appear muted and battery life takes a huge hit.
So what's the deal here? Is the CPU or GPU not kicking in / being throttled whenever I launch a video player app? I'm assuming this is the case as the screen recorder seems to boost playback performance once I activate it. I'm on the June update and I'm not sure if this bug was introduced recently (I never tested 4K playback until now).
Owners of this particular model, could you please confirm if you are having this issue? Try watching a 4K video with lots of action and camera panning movements - that's where you can detect dropped frames or stuttering easily. I could provide the file I'm using for reference but it's a clip from a movie and I'm not sure if I'm allowed to share it here.
Okay since no one has replied and moderators on the Samsung forums are busy removing my posts - try this clip for example, it's 4K HDR encoded in H.265 / HEVC, I don't know if that makes a difference:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/m83ftn7n8d8le2s/Plane_Crash_Scene.mp4/file
Stutters in the default video player app for me. One thing to note is that it's smooth in portrait mode, but the moment you rotate into landscape fullscreen, it starts dropping frames. Now, turn on the screen recorder from within game tools and the stutters are mostly eliminated. What gives?
Another way to compare would be with a video player that lets you switch between hardware and software decoding, like MX Player. Watch the clip in HW mode and then switch to SW - it's choppier in HW mode for whatever reason. Using SW is not an option as the colours are not displayed properly and battery drain is much higher.
Regarding the clip - if it's against the rules to post such content, let me know and I'll remove it. There's a whole YouTube channel full of this stuff, I don't want to link to those as the problem I'm encountering is related to local video playback.
One last try before I sign off Here's another example if anyone has YouTube Vanced (google vanced.app for those unaware). I'm suggesting Vanced because the original YouTube app doesn't let you view at 4K resolution.
Firstly, open Vanced and tap the account icon in the upper right. Go to settings, Vanced settings, Video settings and then toggle Resolution Checks to ON. Refresh and restart the app.
Now open Game Launcher, tap the three dots in the upper right > Add apps and add YouTube Vanced to the list. We're doing this for the screen recording function which I'll mention later.
Once that's done, here's a 4K 60fps clip for you to try. It should be easier to perceive any hiccups with the higher frame rate. And of course, please set the resolution to 2160p (tap the three dots in the upper right) and watch in landscape orientation, since this is what the test is all about:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXb3EKWsInQ
Panning shots work best. For reference, see the one of the step trail at 2:42 in the video. Does it look like it's stuttering or dropping frames intermittently?
Now, swipe up from the bottom of the screen to show the navigation bar (you need the navigation bar enabled to use the recording function) and tap on Game Tools, which is the leftmost button. Tap Record.
While the screen is recording, are the stutters now gone? To my eyes, the video is definitely smoother while the recorder is active. Appreciate any feedback from those willing to try (and confirm if I'm insane or not!) - cheers!

it seems that the driver is causing freezes in my X1 while playing and then stopping/pausing and resuming videos using core player
anybody else get the same problem?
any idea how to fix this?
I've not been using the QTV driver in coreplayer.
I've had the best results with the following:
1. Turning off the "TYTN 2 Driver mode" on the Qtv preferences page
2. Selecting "Direct draw" and "high quality" on the Video page.
3. selecting "RGB" as the overlay format on the Direct draw page.
I already hard reset and now it runs at normal speed, still not sure about the freezes problem, need more investigation and time...
but I'm curious as to what is the best config for X1?
Ben, u said u don't use qtv, then what do you use?
anybody else?
direct draw here
i did notice that my benchmark is better when i use Qtv instead of directdraw.
I watch Iron Man (800ish MB DivX) in bed on Sunday using Direct Draw and other than the gun firing scene it seemed to run pretty smoothly.
please, try to use coreplayer 1.2.5 diamond skinned edition.
this will work flawless on my x1. (touch-it hd firmware)
can u upload the cab?

I am facing the same issue too. This is my experience: Actually the X1 did not hang, only the screen hang. You can press the on/off button and you will hear the pop up window to confirm the shutdown. Just "guestimate" where the yes button is and press on the screen. It should shut down.

Using your settings, the video is playing back in slow motion!
Try mine:
Use QTv, set to medium quality, no zoom.
medium quality makes the picture looks bad.....
so we can conclude that core player isn't truly support X1 for now?
@nap007 same problem here, with qtv output.
DirectDraw @ medium quality works fine for me
a 700mb xvid,resolution somewhere round 640x400 played smoothly and
quality is still nice @medium
For me too qTV is the fastest.
qTv with unchecked Tytn II mode does not render any video.
DirectDraw with blitting is 10% slower.
DirectDraw without blitting does not zoom the picture.
All around it's slower 10-20% then TCPMP and my 2 years old Palm T5 ! Sure, it had only 320x480 resolution, but I really expected more in this area.
Only hope is CorePlayer will come with some better Xperia support soon.
here's my setting in Coreplayer that renders the video smooth
Video
- Video Output: QTv display

TyTN II driver mode - Yes
The Ultimate HD2 & coreplayer 1.3.6 setup, 3800kbps wvga (h264) no single frameskip.
This isnt a joke, i finally found the problem of coreplayer on our HD2,
this will solve all your problems with coreplayer:
settings:
go to select page then video:
Video Output: DirectDraw (before you change this make sure there is no video running on coreplayer cus it will freeze your device, otherwize,
go to DirectDraw page and change Overlay to YUY2, then change Output to DirectDraw)
DO NOT USE GDI and RAWFRAMEBUFFER- unless you like choppy or framy(lol) videos. (make sure you have 1.3.6 one to get max performance with DirectDraw).
now this is important:
go to select page then DirectDraw:
uncheck Overlay with colorkey
uncheck Use blitting instead of overlay
check Use device streching for blitting.
Overlay: YUY2
go to select page then Advanced:
Soft-Drop tolerance: 0.300 /0.200 /0.250 ( personally i use 0.250 it seems better )
Hard-Drop tolerance: 0.000
check Disable AVC deblocking filter
( EDIT: about AVC deblocking filter:
with h264 you can see some annoying squares on the video sometimes, now i recommend to uncheck this option and use TG01-D3DM drivers from chainfire, although in 3800kbps videos you will receive skips sometimes, but dont use such high bitrate with coreplayer XD tried 2000kbps one and works smooth with deblocking enabled)
after you have done all this coreplayer will run very fast,
BUT we havnt finished yet!!
playback will still have slowdowns, and this isnt related to the settings,
it is related to a bug inside coreplayer, which affects the autoscale feature of the snapdragon.
have you been wondering why benchmark is so high while playback lags a bit?
I explored this thing, i can tell you that when i check "Play movie in backgroung", and watch the cpu speed: it goes down from 768MHZ to 400-300MHZ randomaly then goes back into 768MHZ, interesting isnt it?
when it drops down to 300-400 it has lags, and when it returns to 768, the lags stop.
the final solution:
http://www.netripper.com/leo/cpuspeed/LeoCpuSpeed_v2.zip
this program will allow you to keep the CPU in its position or make it full 1GHZ.
all you have to do is open it then tap "Disable autoscaling" and you will have Full 1ghz speed.
you can explore yourself by re-enabling autoscaling ("(Re)enable autoscaling")
then activate movie playback in background through coreplayer, then go to this software and watch the speed dropdowns.
now the "Disable autoscaling" is perfect for coreplayer, it also use 1ghz instead of 768MHZ, and also does not drop down randomally.
it is recommanded to activate autoscaling after finishing with coreplayer, so you can use more battery, it barely affects the speed of everything else but coreplayer, because it automatically increases to 1ghz when you switch between apps, but does not stay 1ghz inside the app itself.
(im not a native speaker, i hope you could understand this.)
enjoy guys.
Core player does not work anymore!!
Followed these instructions to the letter.
Core player stopped playing videos!
Had to hard reset and restore. Beware.
Edit: I am using (and paying for!) version 1.3.6
I hard resetted because reinstalling did not solve the issue.
Hard resets are almost painless when you backup regularly (I use SPB backup... excellent).
maybe you are not using the 1.3.6 version of coreplayer
thats why it didnt play any video (DirectDraw works only on 1.3.6 and one more version - at the others you get green screen)
anyway why hard reset? you could reinstall coreplayer..
It worked for me though.
The benchmark for video with following properties reads 140%.
Video: MPEG4 Video (H264) 848x480 23.98fps
Audio: MPEG Audio Layer 3 48000Hz stereo 128kbps
It plays smoothly. =)
glad this works for you,
dont forget the fix for the cpu slowdown, cus without this the benchmark is only a number, and the playback will be with lags.
can you post your bit-rate?
Thanks for the tip!
Btw, this might be kinda off topic, but do you know how to get the htc volume slider (volume slider as in HTC music player) to work in coreplayer when I press the volume rocker?
Currently, the video will pause whenever I press on the volume rocker to change the volume.
Umm i have no idea,
maybe you can search google, but i have another solution:
theres an option around coreplayer settings to make the video keep playing when it exits fullscreen, so all you have to do is increase volume, then go back to fullscreen and the video keeps playing..
working
"you are good, you are very good "
No more lost frames, works indeed but now quality is not so good, I see lots of artefacts on my lower framerate videos.
Maybe I messed up some settings ?
i guess you did, go over the color settings etc.. ( i use 0 on brightness )
there is absolutely no drop-down in the quality,
if i play the same video also in album - you cannot tell which is which if i show you both in fullscreen.
I made those brightnes settings and the artefacts are still visible .
???
Thanks for help
ummm i dont completely understand what "artefacts" is lol, (not a native speaker sorry, i used dictionary but the meaning doesnt make sense xD, maybe you should try to explain this better)
i do understand that the quality isnt like before, this means you messed up with the settings somewhere. i do not see any drop-down in the quality of my movies.
Artefacts are little squares on the screen when is lot of movement
Sorry for my poor english
got it, do you say these werent there before? actually this is common with flv files.
one more question: does it happen when the screen goes black?
yes these apear after your settings
I had first part of settings ( yuy2 ) and I guess they apeared after I did the second part of settings ( soft and hard drop )
nope this is defenetly not related to soft and hard drop, im thinking now with my hd2. but tell me if you mean those squares when the screen goes black, cus somehow in the past i solved this.
when the screen is black , the squars are not visible
when I watch any movie, video they are very ugly ( in some grey area )
i cant notice any squares, once i had them left on the black screen, but i solved this, there are no squares!!
try use videos with higher bitrate, usually low-quality videos cause squares, also i would recommend to go back to the default settings to see if theres any difference which i guess there isnt.
EDIT: try unchecking Disable AVC Deblocking filter, and tell me if this helps. (this massivily drops the benchmark)
strange because I did not see them before
How I can reset to the default settings ?
install again ?
Try enabling avc deblocking filter (in the edit last post)
im going to sleep... 2:00AM here, Cya.
when I enable avc deblocking filter those artefacts are not so visible
but now freezes the playback, is not so fluid like before
when I disable avc filter it is smooth but with larger artefacts
I give up and go to sleep, thank you a lot,

Checked this ROM on my MK809III. Works fine, but video playback still lags on 1080p videos, and since most of these sticks are plugged into TVs the removal of forced horizontal screen display is more a backstep then a benefit. On Antutu the score is still behind Neomode's 1.7 hybrid rom. Otherwise wifi stable and the apps I have checked ran smoothly.

Can this be rehosted please?
Can't seem to find it anywhere..
Hi everyone,
On any phone I have had to date, videos from the browser that I wanted to watch in full screen mode were played through a video player app. On the essential phone, they seem to be played within the browser still (tried chrome, Firefox, and others). The video quality is pretty poor this way and I was wondering if there was a no frills video player that could be configured Las the default app for watching full screen streaming videos from the browser, and how that would be configured.
I hope this makes sense. I was surprised to see no threads on this topic but I suppose the grainy video doesn't bother other people, or a solution has been found an I'm not using the right terminology.
Any guidance would be appreciated
Most any video player you had on those other phones would work with this one. I've not seen any issues with video playback but... "My legs are grey. My ears are gnarled. My eyes are old and bent."
I've downloaded several video player apps (mx player, vlc, sbs player, etc), but none of them will play the video in the browser unless I download it. On my Samsung s8, if I choose full screen on a video in chrome it will ask what video player I want to use, and I select Samsung video player to be the default. This doesn't happen on the essential phone.
When I download it, the quality is as poor as it is in the browser full screen mode. My guess on that is the resolution for the essential phone is being reported in metadat or something to chrome so it is downloading the video in the only encoding it can find that would support that dimension. That's a total guess, but it's the only thing I can think of that's very unique about the ph-1. Is there a way to disable the full screen mode or tell the browser that my display has different, more standard dimensions?
Hi. It is possible by Magisk or Kernel to activate HDR support. I think the processor and the display can run it.
Thanks
I don't know if the full HDR support can be forcibly activated on Tab S5e, but some things can be done even on stock firmware:
A hidden setting, called Video Enhancer, can be turned on (by QuickShortcutMaker or similar app). It's of great importance to play HDR video online or offline.
The native Samsung Video Player works just fine with downloaded HDR video content (see a HDR label on the video thumbnail/title) as well as MX Player, VLC player, etc.
YouTube Vanced Mod (both for Rooted & Non-Rooted devices) has no problem to play HDR video content in YouTube. (How To: download and install both MicroG & Vanced Apps, give MicroG all Permissions needed, start Yotube Vanced and go to Vanced Settings, tap several times on About to unhide Codec Override menu, and tap on Galaxy S8+ to enable hardware HDR support)
Well, playing HDR video on Tab S5e is just amazing!
I already have YouTube Vanced, but where do you find the Video Enhancer toggle on the tablet? I've looked all through the settings and can't find it (it's definitely not under the Advanced Settings tab).

I said above that the Video Enhancer option is hidden on Tab S5e by Samsung. We have to unhide it by apps capable to read Android activities, e.g. QuickShortcutMaker...
Just click on the QuickShortcutMaker hyperlink in my post above or here:

Thanks, went ahead and downloaded the app and turned on the Video Enhancer feature.
By the way, something I noticed in YouTube Vanced is that I can have 4k resolution, or HDR, but not both. Looks like HDR tops out at 1080p, but if I use the VP9 code I can go up to 2160p. Is this correct, or is there a workaround for this as well?
Yes, all 4 codecs in Vanced Override Menu support max resolution of 4K (2160p) 60FPS. 2 of them support (hardware/software) HDR video playing - up to FHD (1080p) 60FPS HDR. It seems that 1080p60 HDR is a Google limitation for mobile devices.
The good news is that Tab S5e handles YouTube streaming video perfectly in all resolutions, FPS and codecs, and the picture quality is just amazing!
Thanks for the info.
But when I am running LineageOS I do not have Samsung Video Enhancer.
On Youtube Vanced active the HDR but the colors are washed.
If the Samsung Video Enhancer option is not implemented in custom ROMs, you may try Video Enhancer app from Google Play:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.snowlife01.android.free_videoenhancer
Doesn't the SGTS5e support HDR right out the box?
Aht stock rom are you using

Thank you
Video enhancer has no effect for me
I'm using stock running vanced 1440 resolution is maximum it allows me and that's fine I guess, but annoying it always defaults as 720.
Some notes from my recent observations on the HDR video playback in Tab S5e (Stock Firmware):
1. Tab S5e has a good hardware (SOC - SD670; GPU - Adreno 615; Super AMOLED Display) capable to play HDR video without problems. Playing the 1080p 60FPS HDR or 2160p 60FPS streaming videos by Modded YouTube Vanced just proves that.
2. But, there is a real problem for local HDR video playback with hardware support - the colors are slightly pale and washed as regards the same video played by YouTube Vanced or in other premium SAMSUNG devices. No matter which video player is used, no matter if Video Enhancer is on or off, the colors are washed... I tested almost all known video players for Android and all they show washed colors because all they rely on the native hardware support in the related devices.
- So, it seems that SAMSUNG has stripped the hardware support of 10-bit pipelines in the Tab S5e video codecs. Obviously, this is intentionally done by SAMSUNG (to sell much more expensive Tab S6?!) and can be easily corrected with a software update... But, at the moment, we can not play locally hardware accelerated video with rich HDR colors!
3. But, we have a little surprise: the SAMSUNG's competitive HDR format - Dolby Vision, plays on Tab S5e just fine in all glorious colors and hardware support even by the native SAMSUNG video player!
4. I tested on Tab S5e several dozens of 4K HDR & Dolby Vision videos/movies flying in the Net... The only video player that played all of them in their native resolution without lags, freezing, black screen, audio only, etc. (i.e. with good hardware acceleration), was nPlayer! All others couldn't handle with various video formats/codecs and especially with most of the Dolby Vision videos. nPlayer is amazing but... the colors of HDR videos on Tab S5e are still washed...
5. So, how to play offline HDR videos on Tab S5e with native rich colors?
It seems that only VLC player for Android can do that at the moment with the following limitations:
- Video Quality: up to 1080p 60FPS HDR (yes, the same limitations as in YouTube for mobile devices!)
- Hardware Acceleration: Disabled (i.e. without hardware GPU acceleration giving washed colors on Tab S5e)
- Recommended: Force video chroma - RGB 16-bit; Deblocking Filter Settings - No Deblocking; Frame Skip - Checked; Optimize Battery Usage for VLC - Not Optimized
(VLC can play videos with upper resolutions, e.g. 1440p 60 FPS HDR and up, but don't cry if video lags...)
6. Most of the videos/movies in the Net are 4k 60FPS HDR, so we have to downscale them to 1080p 60FPS HDR to watch normal rich colors on Tab S5e.
I personally use VidCoder to downscale the originals to 1080p 60FPS HDR. A good preset, for example, is [Vimeo YouTube HQ 1080p60] with video codec - H.265 10-bit (x265). It's important to use 10-bit codecs otherwise, the video output will not be of HDR quality! You will be really surprised to see the file size difference between the input and output video...
See the difference between the colors of one and the same hardware accelerated (washed) and software decoded (rich) HDR video by VLC on the attached shots below:
Software hdr better than no hdr

The only difference I see is in the color saturation, which has nothing what so ever to do with resolution.
edit: And in reality, the first picture is MUCH more natural. The only time you'd see the vivid colors of the second picture, on a woman's face, would be if she worked on the streets.

Yes, SAMSUNG know very well that many customers always like whatever they are offered, no matter what was stripped or disabled without any reason at all...
But I don't want SAMSUNG (or you!) to tell me which color saturation is better or worse for me. I just want to watch the movies/videos in the color palette, brightness & resolution in which their creators made them! That's all! So, a multimedia tablet (as Tab S5e was advertised) without HDR hardware support (intentionally disabled by the manufacturer) is a full nonsense in 2020!
BTW, not only HDR video playback was stripped in Tab S5e, but also 10-bit HDR video capture by the back camera...

What resolution? It's one and the same resolution on both pictures. The problem is in the color saturation... OMG, do you really think that HDR = "hi def resolution"? No words...
