mkv videos with DTS have no audio

Ok - I uninstalled this "MX Player Codec (ARMv7)". But this did not make any difference.

But I found that the problem is the following. I normally always used the HW Decoder as my standard setting and had the box clicked to use SW Decoder for Audio. This always worked but not now in the latest version. No DTS audio.

When I pressed on the upper right screen on the "HW Decoder" and switched to "SW Decoder" I also had no video. But I found now that this is a problem in the SW video decoder when playing video via LAN network (using Total commander with LAN plugin). Software decoder is not able to skip forward in the video. So when in the settings I clicked to use SW decoder for local and LAN the DTS audio is back and working. However SW decoder is not reliable for network videos. Sometimes the video hangs for a while and as I said already the skip forward to another place in the video is not working.

SO the problem is that when you select HW decoder and have the "Use SW audio Decoder" selected it never uses the SW audio decoder. I think this was also reported by others in this forum.

With kind regards

Yeah this is nice, but you shouldn't have to do it. The app is pointless if it doesn't do what it claims to without "workarounds" such as this.
[MX Player] Dj_Fex:
well blame dolby's high license fees, that small devs aren't able to pay...
[MX Player] :
Not an option

Well, not entirely correct... DTS is only interested in licensing hardware vendors and not software solutions...

So paying the fees is not even an option.. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=30171639&postcount=1..

Are the custom codec download links broken for everyone else too? I get a connection reset error when I try to access them.
[MX Player] BigLisy:
I don't know if it's because of the codec or not, but lately I've run into some issues with MX player. Many videos start to play as H/W+ but then stop and decoder turns to S/W 3 to 6 seconds into the video. What's weird is that it's intermittent, like, I can play that same file again and it'll stick on H/W+.

I noticed this started happening since I started using the custom codec provided here, so I'm just wondering if that's the cause.
[MX Player] tyvar1:
All high end phones and tablets should always use HW+ video and SW sounds :)
[MX Player] george brown:
If you play mp4, you should set it to HW+, but if you play other than mp4 set it to SW (especially. webm).

If it's a wifi network issue, it will affect both video & audio. The issue might be from the video itself.

[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
If it's there even on H/W, it might be issue related to internal decoders. If it's on only S/W your CPU is not powerful enough.

Buddy how to know if Dolby works or not?

I see custom codec for Neon is loaded in app. Use sw decoder instead of hw for audio enabled.

Earlier i heard clear difference but after update i feel effect is missing or something. Using your latest version.

Can i see logs?

Does is work for 48khz aac or conflicts with existing dolby system level music effects app? I am running on dalvik now.

Does MX player support music intent app like music fx?
[MX Player] danarama:
Rather than it doing anything, I think its really just adding support for files that have DTS, although I could be wrong.

It's a great codec either way
[MX Player] kazemitsui:
DTS is just the coding for audio at least thats what i think it is haha... someone correct me if i am wrong
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
dts is a type of audio codec (normally has 6 channels) which is copy righted by DTS Inc.

You can use dts pass through without any copy right issue. But, in mobile it needs to be downsampled to 2 channels which is a conversion process and it needs to the permission from DTS Inc.

They are not ready to have a deal. So, dts playback support is dropped from the official MX Player.

Simply if your video has dts audio it wont play anything. Only video will be played.

So, I have re compiled the ffmpeg sources with dts audio support.

Hi,

I'm using Samsung Galaxy Notee II with latest official Samsung SW and I want to play 1080p 50fps videos from my camcoder, but I'm unable to play by MX player, best results I'm able to get is thru SW decoder, but playback is twice slowed.. HW and HW+ decoders are working only for 1-2sec and then playback is stopped....
[MX Player] arjiegodz:
when im on gb and i download a codec in playstore camcoder vids play normally but now im on jb camcoder some vids play really slow... tried to use the custom codec but still the same. any help would be appreciated.
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
I have already answered this question.

Custom codec will only add DTS playback as a extra feature. All other functions will remain same.

I can't do something with your hardware limitation.
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
I have faced this issue with the galaxy S advance also.

When I was using GB it can play 1080p smoothly only in HW+ while SW rendering was laggy.

After upgrading from to JB, Unable to play 1080p in HW+.

It depends how video library is implemented. If I am not wrong, Only Samsung can fix the problem.
[MX Player] jura55:
Hi, but BS Player can play 1080p 50fps videos on my Samsung Note 2...so it's not HW limitation.....
[MX Player] BleedingIris:
Please add this to op.

Thanks for your work.

BS player already has DTS support - someone said.

Regardless, bs uses different codecs,which is more suited to your device-so, you could. But mx codecs ain't much suited to your device. ;)
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
If BS can play, Then there should not be any problem with MX-Player.

Because, BS use ffmpeg optimized for all platforms. But, MX-Player use ffmpeg tuned for the specific platform.

So, MX-Player will be always better and smoother than the BS Player.

Try this solution:

Open Settings >>Decoder and enable the following.

Use H/W+ Decoder

H/W+ Decoder ( Local )

H/W+ Decoder ( Network )

H/W+ Decoder ( 10bit )

Now open the same video.

When it asks for resume just click start over. So, That the video will be played in the H/W+

Let me know this solution works or not.

[MX Player] bruce7373:
What doesn't work? The download, the codec? Are you pointing the player to the correct folder where you have unzipped the files?
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
Without the clear problem statement, we can't help you to resolve the issue.

If your device plays the video without audio, Then there is no problem with the codec. The problem is with your method.
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
Kindly read the first post.

Looks like you have completely misunderstood the usage of this codec.

It will enable the dolby (ac3) & dts decoders.

It won't add any additional sound effects.

Most of the third party DSP plugins will automatically interfere the audio & will pass the processed audio to hardware. They are compatible with MX Player.

e.g: Noozxoide, Viper4android, Bass Booster, Equalizer (Third Party app name)

Most of the OEM sound effects will not be automatically applied. It needs additional codings on user application to use the audio effects. So, It may not work.

e.g: Samsung SoundAlive
[MX Player] vikraminside:
I wasn't worried about additional effects. Music FX is a DSP there was a Dolby modded apk. Apologizing for misinterpretation.

For AC3 this codec works no doubt. My question was MX player picked up your codec or not.

Anyway thanks for your explanation.

Edit:

https://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/?qid=20130522124407AAUUYmf

Sorry for my ignorance i was confused between aac and ac3. Aac looks more advanced than dolby ac3. Please see above link.

Samy is right. I should have read OP again. This applies only for ac3 encoded.
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
Dolby Laboratories Inc is a name of an organisation like Microsoft Inc, Google Inc, etc

It owns several products.

AC3 aka Dolby Digital format uses one of it's patented audio encoding technology. Ac3 decoder will just decode the encoded audio.

Here we are talking about this one which come under audio encoding/decoding category.

Apart from this there are many Dolby Products in various categories.

What you are talking about is audio processing technologies which completely different one. It's something related to music effects. Some mobiles has Dolby Sound Effect system. The DSP app you are talking might be modified in such a way to emulate Dolby sound effecs plugin.

Don't confuse yourself with decoder & audio processors.

It's not the right forum to discuss on this topic. But, I will explain in short.

Both AC3 & AAC are lossy audio formats. AAC is reportedly has better quality than AC3. So, you can achieve the same quality with less bit rate.

But, Ac3 is widely used as dvd standard multichannel audio codecs. Conversation from a lossy audio to a another lossy format will lead to further audio quality loss. So, it's not preferred by the most.
[MX Player] osm0sis:
Any idea why a few of us are getting periodic static using the AC3 decoders here?

DTS rendering problems

Hello

I'm using device based on AMLOGIC 8726-MX, with Android 4.2.2 and MX Player 1.7.35 (which brings Codec Arm v7-Neon v1.7.35). When I open a movie with DTS I got no sound at all, even if I enable H/W decoding, I got a message that DTS Sound can not be decoded.

Then I installed your Codec Arm v7-Neon v1.7.32 (other did not load), but only if I enable H/W Decoder I could got sound. The thing is that, sound and video got rendering problems, not smooth playing anymore.

[MX Player] Vander_stav:
Where AC3 support?

Why cleaned support of AC3?
[MX Player] miloytyn:
Little searching wouldn't hurt. But anyway the reason is that AC3 is patented technology by Dolby Laboratories and to use it you would need to pay them royalties which actually might not be that easy even if MX Player developers would like to do that. Thus to prevent legal issues AC3 support must be removed.

Why is MX player codec app updated in play store especially when "What's new" section is empty?

Is it the simple icon change? Or the change in api of new version MX player to call codec?
