Samsung Note II, MX Player

DTS enabled ffmpeg for MX Player for Note II:

https://anonfiles.com/file/fb8aea0c84102169eb8632d4db0a6c34

Use H/W for video and S/W for audio.

Tested with MX Player Pro 1.7.7.

Should also work for Note v1, as well as for any other Cortex-A9 / Neon device.

EDIT: new here, just noticed this is in the S III section. Anyway, I was looking for a Note 2 solution and found this thread via Google, so hopefully this will help others like me.

I've been using MX for a while and then noticed that one of my mkv file with DTS didn't have a sound on both mx & stock video player.. Tried another player like BSPlayer (it can play DTS sound, but laggy on video with high fps), Dice Player (same with BSPlayer, only a little bit smooth, but not as smooth as stock & mx) and then finally found this. Works great on mx 1.7.7

Thanks! :victory:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ragwhos:
BS Player works

BSPlayer supports DTS and plays 1080p on a nexus 7 :)

VLC struggled with 1080p even with h/w acceleration, think it never really turned it on !

Can anyone build another for 1.7.7 tegra2?

Thanks!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Randles:
Place the downloaded folder on to your sd card. Start MX Player, go to settings, decoder, scoll to the bottom and select custom codec. Now browse to the folder you copied on to your sd card and select libavcodec.mx.so, click ok and bingo you got sound :good:

When I do this on my nexus 10 I only have sound if I use the s/w decoder and then the video is choppy. When I change it to h/w the video plays great but then there is no sound.

Ideas?

i was install the old version of mx player, because i try with vlc but don´t read files of the external microsd, only search files in the root (phone) :(

also try with others video player, i think the best quality is for VICE player, but the same problem with DTS :(
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] cook:
New versions of MX player with external codecs play DTS perfectly well so I don't see your point.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] williamsjscott:
For some reason it was on mine too (AT&T Note II) but I fixed it. I'm not sure why this worked but I went into the app manager, force closed MXPlayer, cleared defaults, then went back into MXPlayer, changed the codec and left all other settings alone (except customized my preferences for theme and behavior). Then I streamed a 1080p DTS file from my PS3 Media Server via BubbleUPnP using MXPlayer as the target app (which previously had no sound on the specific file), turned the audio H/W decoder off for that specific session and bam video was running smooth and audio was there. :D
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Tony_YYZ:
Same on my GS3. I don't want to put one of those codecs onto my phone because I'm unsure of which one will work for the S3. Currently running MX Player 1.7.8

Can anyone point me in the right direction?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] williamsjscott:
Which variant of the S3 do you have? If you have a variant with the quad core Exynos processor then the one for the Note 2 will work because the file linked above for the Note 2 isn't actually made specifically for the Note 2, it's made for Cortex-A9 cpu chipsets which both the Note 2 and the quad core S3 are.

If you have the dual core snapdragon processor (any LTE S3 variant I believe) then I'm not sure if it's an A9 or not... Somebody else will have to confirm. BUT: if for some reason you try the file and it doesn't work its not the end of the world, you'll just have to go into the application manager and clear the data for PowerAmp and it will load again (you'll have to set up your PowerAmp settings again however).

Also I forgot to mention that I'm on 1.7.8 so it's confirmed working on both PowerAmp 1.7.7 AND 1.7.8.

---------- Post added at 08:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:41 AM ----------

Oh also, you still have to use s/w decoding for audio however with the latest attached codec from this thread it ran the video smooth on my phone after clearing app data and setting it up on what was essentially a fresh install of PowerAmp (video on h/w decoding, audio on s/w, note that I left everything in the decoding section at default and only checked s/w audio [might not really make a difference but it worked the way I did it above])

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Tony_YYZ:
I have the i747M variant of the S3 with the Dual Core Snapdragon processor. Currently to play my 1080p MKV's I have to set the audio to play back with the s/w decoder while the video uses the h/w decoder. Do I still need the codec since it plays in the same setup you say the codec will provide? Or does the codec just ensure better stability and no choppiness while the movie is playing?

Also, I'm using MX Player, not Power Amp. Your Power Amp references show the same version numbers as MX Player so I'm not sure which one you were really referring to.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] williamsjscott:
Sorry about that, no clue why I put PowerAmp, I meant MX Player. For some reason on mine audio wouldn't work with either the stock hw or sw audio decoder until I setup the new codec so there's something different between our cases. Also I was streaming the 1080p mkv file from a server on my network... Maybe it acts differently in that case?

So, I'm not sure if the codec would help or not (I mean I could see some codecs maybe decoding the audio more efficiently than others thus putting less strain on the cpu and not causing lag like a less efficient codec may, but there's no way to tell in your case without trying the new codec)... wish I could say but I'm not sure if the snapdragon is an A9, I had trouble finding an answer with Google, so if you want to be 100% safe wait for somebody that can tell us before you try the codec.

If it's not A9 then there should be a version of the codec somewhere out there for your chip type because I saw on the other post that it linked to a site where you could get the sources to build for yourself and they had quite a few other than the A9 version.

I have personally tested the codecs.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] TheAquanox:
I've spent quite a bit of time looking for the best player out there.

Following the recommendations posted here, none worked as described.

Best player right now with DTS support? BS Player! It does support Dts + Hw acceleration.

I would only recommend you to check the subtitle coding setting in case you use subs in other language than English.

I’m using ISO 8859 1 for Spanish.

Another VERY promising player is XBMC for Android but ir currently has limited HW acceleration support. It will dramatically improve in the followong versions though and it supports virtually every media codec out there.

Tested on Samsung Galaxy i9305.

Other players tested:

VLC Media Player: Does support DTS. Pixelated video on high bitrate movies. Crashed when selecting a secondary audio track.

DICE Player: No DTS. Crashes when selecting a secondary audio track.

MXPlayer: No DTS. Everything else works fine.

XBMC: Recognizes every codec but there's no HW Acceleration for S3 and most phones. It's initially intended for Android Based Standalone Box Players but support for mobiles will arrive down the road.

Mobo Player: No DTS Support. Selecting a secondary DTS Channel would take me back to the Primary non-dts track and there's no way to switch it back.

QQ Player: Does Support DTS but no HW Acceleration support for my device. Pretty decent SW decoding support... (Far better than XBMC) enough for 720p movies but not for 1080p. Battery eater.

VPlayer: No DTS Support.

BS Player: Once again, everything works perfectly. Remember to adjust your subtitle coding setting for non English subs.

Cheers!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Nosferatu.:
With codec pack mx works flawlessly with dts. Don't spread false information. Stock you would be correct though but other players can decode dts and after using most I feel mx is a better player.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] reddragon72:
So does this allow DTS over HDMI with all 5.1 channels? Same for AC3. Right now everything on my Galaxys2 and two other devices plays 2 channel only.

I know I don't have the same device as listed in this thread, but I am trying to gather info on issues with devices not pumping out all 5.1 channels in both DTS and AC3.

Thanks for your time

Ok guys.

Now we solve problem decoding DTS. Now another question. How to make DTS ot DD passthrough, so player like this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Android-TV-Dongle-Box-Stick-Media-Player-Smart-TV-Mini-PC-HDMI-1-2GHz-With-Power-/170996827485?pt=UK_Sound_Vision_Internet_TV_Media_Streamers&hash=item27d034855d will send dts sound through HDMI.

Final idea is to play DTS and DD (AC3) on home cinema sistems (5.1 recivers). :confused:

On my MK808 running finless 1.7:

- VLC buggy as hell, unsable;

- BS Player makes my unit restart, even with the ARMv7 support app installed;

- Rock Player Lite works like a charm, not sure if audio is 5.1 or not, I tend to think it is.

I have ****ty coverage in my area so I'm wondering if it's possible to send sms over wifi just like wifi calling.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bradley_e_smith:
For SMS over t-mobile wifi calling works great. MMS on ICS/JB roms seems to have issues but GB ROMS it worked the last time I tried it. I would also note that when I was in Europe with WIFI only (no roaming on my phone), that MMS messages wouldn't go, but SMS did.

Also if you use T-Mobile WIFI Calling make sure you signup for the **free** add on. If you don't when you use WIFI Calling, it counts against your minutes when calling someone.

Thanks for the info. I'm using Andromadus Mimicry v1.3.2. So maybe that's the problem?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GinoAMelone:
Works fine for me. I have very poor coverage at home, wifi-calling is the main reason I'm not running the JB ROM full time.

Been using Mimicry as my DD for a couple months. T-Mobile's wifi-calling sometimes flakes and doesn't want to connect, but if it says it's connected SMS is fine. Not sure about MMS.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Warbuff:
Its been confirmed that mms over tmo wifi calling doesn't work on ics by edkeys. But you can see when you receive an mms and at that point you can switch to cell data and just get it. And then switch back to wifi calling
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kbeezie:
I'm using 1.3.2 as well, but you have to be using the 26.13.04.19 radio in order for the T-Mobile wifi calling app to work. Calling and SMS works, MMS doesn't.

PS: Installing the Google Now zip will break wifi calling (ie: it'll be active, but will fail to receive/send)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Warbuff:
I haven't noticed the Google now error ill have to test
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kbeezie:
When I tested, the icon showing wifi calling enabled looked fine and all, and wifi bars would show with data bars off just like normal. However when you goto send an sMS for example it would immediately fail as if it were relying on the data connectivity. Something in the Google Now Package (tried v5 and v6) breaks it. But if you were to re-flash edkey's wifi calling after Google Now it seems to work.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Warbuff:
I guess the reason I never noticed was because when I did it I flashed mimicry then google now and wifi calling. That only happened because when I upgraded to the new mimicry I noticed wifi calling missing so that's why I added it last. I guess I just got lucky

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] lardo5150:
I still have my Tf700T.

I am curious for those that already have this tablet, how is the performace straight out of the box (stock)?

My buddy has the tab 2, and it seems to flutter when moving screen to screen.

Is this any better?

Besides the screen resolution, can anyone compare the performance of the note to the Infinity?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Pinnacle74:
You can find a few reviews on Youtube which clearly demonstrates the performance out of the box:

Unboxing and preview - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=elFOFD1UNzQ

Demonstrations - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nUxFN5kwS9E and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=brfs6bjZ5h4

Edit: I can't see any stuttering or microlag at all so I believe the performance out of the box is excellent!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] BarryH_GEG:
I can't compare it to the TF700 but compared to the OG 10.1 it's night and day. It never stutters and transitions are incredibly smooth. The browser's also very impressive. Don't forget that the TF700 suffers from the typical Asus quality issues, doesn't have 5GHz Wi-Fi, and has horrible I/O bottlenecks. Those bottleneck are why the N7 gets such ****ty AnTuTu scores. It would be great if the Note had a HD display but it's a trade off against S-Pen and overall performance.

Here's a full test and some benchmarks:

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] StiiLe:
Do you think that the multi-screen thing is the power of this GNote 10"1 ?

We can see some apps already in the market (browser with Overskreen, video players...) for others tablets.

Do we need these benchmarks when the screen is not HD ? Can we compare these with HD Tablets ?

Do you think that it is an expensive tablet ?

S-Pen is a gadget ? I am a student, I already tested GNote and we can't do anything with the S-Pen, keyboards are much better for students. Maybe for those who like drawing, a little ?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] redviper666:
The pen is a better choice for any student who studies a technical field. Equation, diagrams, annotations are all important for good notes. Even for non students, meeting notes are impossible to take with any decent accuracy on a keyboard. The conversations often jump around too much and there are a lot of visual representations used (again probably not true for all occupations, but anything that requires technical knowledge).

The smart shape stuff also looks awesome for drawing diagrams for presentations. We are a visual people, and the pen is the best instrument for drawing anything.

Infact I'll go one step further. No scientist I know thinks at the keyboard. Everyone thinks with a pen/paper or on a white board. When you are brainstorming its almost impossible to think about typing but sketching out ideas with a pen feels natural.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] BarryH_GEG:
Teg3 might be able to run some of the split screen apps but good luck with 1GB of RAM. The Note has 2GB of RAM for a reason.

Benchmarks are meaningless. They do help calculate an individual devices performance. Do you have a problem with apps opening too quickly, transitions being too smooth, or tons of apps running well at the same time? If you don't care about those things any gen-one Teg2 device will meet your needs. The comparison to an HD tablet is that it's not an HD tablet. The other stuff was more important to me than HD. Most here will agree or they wouldn't have bought a Note. Asus and Acer aren't the kings of quality either which after following the Prime has pretty much sworn me off of Asus.

Yes.

I use it for handwritten notes quite well. It also converts handwriting in to text. There's a big difference between taking notes on a phablet and a real tablet. Also the G-Note's only dual-core with 1GB of RAM so it's slow in comparison.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] cocoajumpo:
I'm not sure what kind of engineer you are, but the amount of scratch paper that is sitting on my work desk is immense. I have killed many poor trees sketching free body diagrams, making rough calculations, and writing short-hand notes for all of the projects I do (structural engineering). Making reports for submittal is merely a small part of what is done and typically when i'm working on a project my computer screen is on sleep mode because I have no use for it.

I would much rather use the S-Pen and have my notes easily accessible if a client or co-worker were to ask me a question.

Right, I had read his post. Curious.

I have been pulling my hair out about this. I have quite a few things (calculations) that take up about twenty pages. Now, it takes me half of my time organizing the mess. I have maps just to guide me thought this! This can be rather stressful :laugh: . Tablets are generally really uncomfortable, and pen a paper is not. But the pulp is just messy, and I've got to try to get out from under this. IYKWIM.

Of course you can get really good at Mathmatica or Mathcad, and that I do also (not the 'really good' part), but it's even more uncmfortable.

Oh I know, you think "Twenty pages of calculation" He must be a genius. Answer: No, a genius would do it in one page, or in his head. I'm an idiot :o

Anyway, this new variety is pretty cool. Me thinks.
