So as of Mar 12, for Nexus 10, if I download MX Player from Google Play, install the Neon Alt codec and apply settings as in OP, does this work for anyone? I get errors after trying both versions so wondering if older APK for the player is needed, the .11 version won't install for me.

UPDATE: success

ROM: AOKP 4.2.2

APPS: USB Helper - NTFS works on OTG

MX Player .10 (found on filesharing site) - Used the OP .13 NEON ALT codec, HW (not +) video, SW audio.

So now I can finally just dump my MKV movies on a usb thumb and play them natively with my Nexus 10, thanks to everyone here.

Hi,

I've been trying to get this to work on my note 2 (N7100) I get no sound even if all settings seems to be like in the OP . I've tryed the first link aswell as the alternativ. I get no errors just lack of sound. The sound is ok on vlc.

Any goo sugestions ?
[MX Player] sfsilicon:
Arm v7 neon alternative worked for me on my nexus 7 and nexus 10. I didn't have to use the saw audio codec option to get DTS to work. Tried that first and got no sound. Finally ended up resting my settings to default and everything worked. Thanks for putting this together.

Re: MX Player Custom Codec With DTS Support [v1.7.13]

I can confirm same as well: neon alternate works on my N10. In my case, though, S/W did work. I reset the settings and it works with H/W also.

Thanks a lot for this.

[MX Player] sleepingturtle:
1st change the playback mode to software if you're on hardware, vice versa.

If that don't help, try removing the codec and uninstalling MX player. Then reboot and try again.

having issues with my nexus 7 as well. observed it on stock and custom kernels. on stock rooted 4.4.2. so it'll play fine then show green artifacts and hang on H/W+. audio still plays fine though. i tried installing both the neon and non-neon versions in https://sites.google.com/site/mxvpen/download. even tried to manually download the codec in the OP but still the same issue.

playing H264 720p mkv videos. it's playing fine on SW mode but would rather have it on H/W+ for battery savings.
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
H/W+ is not compatible with all mobiles. Try S/W or H/W.

Don't use non-neon versions in Neon enabled mobiles. If you use you will not get the performance improvements by neon instructions.

i am loving mxplayer a lot but i cannot watch big MKV movie (around 10gb) without forceclosing the player on me after like 20minutes perfect watching

what could be the problem

also are you experiencing this too , in HW mode you cannot seek the movie , when you seek it, it changes to SW mode and begins to stutter

in HW+ mode i can seek it but after seeking it doesnt play it , it is paused , so i need to press like 2,3 times on the seek bar so the movie can start playing from that position

but mostly i hate becouse the player is closing on me

btw i am using it with RK3066 device with the custom coded for ARMv7

Can you post the media info?

It seems video bit rate is very high. That's why it only plays the buffered video, after that it does not play properly.

Have you tried any other players?
[MX Player] mite_jan:
the video bitrate should be 8mbps to 10mbps at max (not high enough)

i have tried mxplayer and bsplayer and they both close after some period

i cant watch a whole movie without crashing on me so i need to open it again

no idea about the buffer but in my opinion that may be a problem too or maybe a HW decoding issue

i am not sure if it buffers the video on the android nand and when it comes out of memory maybe it closes it
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
Try to collect the logcat....
[MX Player] mite_jan:
is there some debugging option through the player or ?

what was the procedure for collecting it tell me so i wont have to search on youtube

MX Player Pro says "Cannot load custom codec. Use standard codec instead." after I've downloaded and unzipped and selected the 1.7.21 ARM V7 Neon libffmpegmx.so file as described in your first post.

I'm on a Nexus 7 (2013) device. 4.4.2 Android

HW Video decoding works OK, but DTS seems as far off as ever.

Could I have done something wrong?

I did try power off with no decoder pack installed at all and then reloading. No change.
[MX Player] n3mmr:
Turned out the problem was simply that the file was named libffmpegmx.so.

Renaming it to libffmpeg.mx.so (note the extra ".") enabled MX Player to read it. And the DTS files played on...
[MX Player] n3mmr:
Could this be because I unzipped it using WinZip on the Nexus??

Hi, there was one request I wanted to make.

If anybody here watches anime, they would know... No media player on Android supports 10-bit anime. They are mkv files, and 1080p and with/or without FLAC audio.

But MX player does, however, support custom codecs. Now, a huge lot of people have asked MX Player team to support 10-bit anime codecs (its in their forum), but MX dev team says they do not support it yet because majority of Android phones do not have that hi-end pecs to make a software decoder for it.

I wish to plead to you, to kindly give some time and attention into making a custom codec for 10-bit anime, if it's possible. it wold be a super big favor for us :)

this is so that, at least people who have high-end phones like Nexus 5, Note 3 and G2, whose hardware CAN play that kind of software, could play it.

Thanks
[MX Player] dfkt_:
Do any phones even have 10bit screens? I thought they're all the usual 8bit screens - where 10bit playback would give no visual improvement, and just drains the battery faster.
[MX Player] Jamal Ahmed:
That's OK. All we want is for it to *at least* play those videos. At this moment, they can't even be played.

They can be played with MX Player's native S/W decoder but they are heavily lagging. If only we could get them to working normally, it would be fine.

Battery is no issue, because those who use it for that have the responsibility upon themselves because they chose to play the videos, not you :D

I, for one, would happily accept a faster decharging battery in exchange for it to at least play them.

Thanks
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
8 bit video has 256 color gradients per channel (i.e., 16.8 million colors).

10 bit video has 1024 color gradients per channel (i.e., 281 trillion possible colors)

MX Player's S/W rendering is laggy, because your CPU is not capable of taking the load required to decode 10 bit video. HW playback is possible if your manufacturer release the ROM with video libraries with 10 bit playback capability.So, As of now it is nearly impossible to implement the complete 10 bit playback support without hardware support....!!

Does anyone know how to get MXPlayer to intercept more streams/downloads from the browser?

Hello...

I have recently purchased a chinese made cs968 android TV box with great reviews...

What i have understood from the first post is that since 5.1 is not supported on mobile devices (and so on my TV box)the custom codec does the job of down mixing the 5.1 DTS audio from a HD video mkv file to 2.1 channel thats suitable for playback on mobile devices.. the same happened on my cs968 TV box.. i had a video with DTS audio which didnt play audio on default codec.. using the custom one. it played.. but i guess that would be only 2.1 audio.

My question is how to let the cs968 output 5.1 ch audio form HD videos? ON the first post.. there was some mention of DTS passthrough. does this mean that i can use this so that the audio is not manipulated by mxplayer.. but the audio is just passed to my AVR which is capable of decoding DTS audio.. and in this scenarion i can hear real 5.1 ch audio?

If i have misunderstood something. please correct me.

Thanks..
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
It is possible only if your hardware supports dts passthrough via HDMI....!!!

I just meant "good one" in the sense of "a good joke". ;)

(Considering the person asking the question has two devices listed, one with 720p screen, the other one with 240x320 screen... and HDMI-out won't support 4K either, not to mention most/all current GPUs will choke on it. I thought that question can't be serious.)
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
Yes you are right. 4K almost equivalent to 2160P that's twice the 1080P.

As of now only the latest higher end mobiles support 1080P smooth playback while the most of the other mobiles still running at 720P....:confused::confused::confused:

Hello,

I'm in the same situation, I've just bought Xtreamer multi-console based on RK 3188 Quad-Core Cortex A9 Processor, and I would like to konw if there is a way to play DTS video with 5.1 channel.

Kind regards,

luigi
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
I have already replied many times for the same question. The codec will enable DTS down sample to stereo. That's all.

If your device has DTS playback or DTS pass through over HDMI, then there is no need for custom codec.

Without hardware support it's impossible.
[MX Player] pijo1971:
Hello,

thank you for your answer.

I wanted to ask specifically if the codec reprocess the signal because my HW (from specification) seems to be compliant with DTS 5.1

but when I've tried to play a DTS 5.1 files it became a pop up that inform me the missing codec, I've had to install mxplayer codec in order to listen the audio.

So at this time I'm not sure that i'm playing 5.1 channels or not.

Kind regards,

What is the difference between x86 sse3 and sse2?

How do I know which codec I need?

I'm using a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 10.1

Edit: I know now that I need sse3 but it would be helpful if MX Player would show this in addition to "you need the x86 codec" in the decoder settings
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
SSE3 has some additional SIMD instructions over SSE2.

The Codec pack available in play store is only X86 SSE3. That's why it's not mentioned in player.

MX Player developer has removed sse2 from ffmpeg build script. But, build configuration and optimizations for sse2 still remains in the script. So, I have compiled for that too. It almost become obsolete now.
[MX Player] Dj_Fex:
thx for your explanation ;)

I wasn't talking about the store versions as MX Player links only to this page and not to the Play Store in the decoder settings and it isn't clear for normal users which of the codecs to choose...
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
SSE2 is almost obsolete and it's not available in official. So, x86_sse3 is mentioned as x86.
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
In original post I have modified X86_SSE3 to X86 and obsolete note added to X86_SSE2 to avoid confusion

Apologies Ktsamy if this is a noob question.

I am trying to get DTS audio using MXPlayer on my Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 tablet. I have downloaded the Armv7 Neon zip and extracted it on the device. Only one file shows up (libffmpeg.mx.so). When I point MXPlayer to it, it restarts and then says cannot load custom codec, use default codec instead.

Am I doing something wrong or does it not work with my tablet yet? I have tried downloading the file a couple of times, including on my computer, and each time I just see the one file on the unzipped folder, not five.
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
Are you getting any error msg while it restarts?
[MX Player] Billy Balthorpe:
No error messages. I point to the codec and it gives the restart message, starts up again and straightaway flashes the error message I quoted above. The app then works as normal.
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
Which version of the player you have?

I have already stated in first post that from mx player 1.7.16 onwards static binary is used. So, there will be a only one libffmpeg.mx.so instead of 5 nos.
[MX Player] Billy Balthorpe:
OK, must have missed that. Using the latest version of MX Player so 1.7.26.
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
Double check the player version

Ensure the file name libffmpeg.mx.so (even slight change in name will lead to failure.)

Your platform (Check in decoder settings. Probably it will be neon)

Always launch mx player from launcher (not from other apps lik gallery. Previously we had some bad experience).

What is your android version?
[MX Player] Billy Balthorpe:
Thanks very much for your help KTSamy. I checked everything again, uninstalled Mx Player and reinstalled and then checked the file name and discovered that for some reason, extracting it from the zip resulted in libffmpegmx.so rather than libffmpeg.mx.so. I changed the name and pointed MXPlayer back at the codec and it has worked (though I dont have a DTS file with me at work to test it but the preferences indicated it worked). I feel like a real nub now but very appreciative of your help.

anybody know if we can have Dolby Headphone working with MX Player? I got DH working in Foorbar last night but not in Media Player Classic, would be great if would work in MX Player too..
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
Dolby headphone?

Media player classic?

What do you mean?
[MX Player] twerg:
Foobar / Media Player Classic are Windows media players.

Dolby Headphone is a sound processor DSP that creates a 5.1 channel soundstage through 2 channel stereo headphones, the technology is in DVD players etc.

The Desire HD had Dolby processing so should be possible to have some type of plugin to allow the DSP.

The Windows applications use a Dolby Headphone Wrapper that has DolbyHph.dll.

The sound is so much more enveloping, I watched a James Bond film last night and after you become accustomed to the new sound its like your sitting in the middle of a big surround sound set up - going back to regular 2 channel stereo just sound narrow and boring..

This is Head Related Transfer Function (HRTF) processing, I dont see options in MX Player for it, and this DTS one he seems to not do much for me.

Other HRTF processing is QSound / Circular Surround etc.

Cheers
[MX Player] PiggyFlooper:
