[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Isun:
Dice player does play everything. I did find that if you play a 720p .mkv file that has audio that is 5.1 audio or anything other than just plain stereo, it will play at a slightly lower volume. To correct this I just use Avidemux to convert only audio from the file to stereo which takes about 10-15 minutes for my longest movie and that's it. Volume can be boosted as well and add DRC if you want. You could also do no conversion at all to you .mkv and just turn up the volume but either way this is much better than having to convert an .mkv to .mp4 and wait an hour or more for it. The only real benefit to converting I see now is to save space since a converted .mkv movie is about 1.5-2GB and left alone can be 4.5-5.5GB.I was going to make a video but figured this is all pretty basic stuff that you all probably know.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wardy277:
wow, i have just tried dice player and it can play everything I throw at it. i have some 720p mkv files that wee very jerky or have no audio, but with dice player it played fined. even plays great with a windows share one wireless using cifs manager.

really considering buying it!
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mad.green.robot:
You know, you kinda should. Because if you did, you'd know it doesn't work.

MP4, like MKV, AVI, MOV, is just a container. This container can contain all sorts of different codec. If one of these codec has something like h.264/x264 Advanced Profile or AAC-He, then your file won't play smoothly on Tegra 2, ever. For more info, read the link given by gogol on post #13

Honeycomb specific problem? Probably not. Hardware problem, most definitely. But we haven't seen a single Honeycomb device that comes without that godawful Tegra 2 graphics now have we? And I too have tried the players you mentioned above. Only Dice worked half-assedly right for MKV, and has an iPad-looking interface (lawsuit alert! Dice is from Korea BTW. Oh, what is up with these Korean people...)

It supports the container but leave out certain important codecs. So you have to be extremely lucky to find MKVs that work right without conversion.

I read another dude's comment earlier that he's so happy that 720p MKVs work perfectly for him. Yes, but only if the MKV contains: h.264/x264 + AC3. As long as you have AC3, chances are it will play. If it doesn't, it probably means the h.264/x264 is advanced profile with high B-frames.

But ask yourself: would knowing that motivate you to buy an Android as a netbook replacement?

And to those who suggest Handbrake or any other stupid MKV converters: shame on you. That's the reason I didn't buy into iPhone/iPod Touch in the first place. And besides everybody knows Handbrake doesn't offer as many settings as Xvid4PSP, which is free but far more versatile, but only exclusive to Windows.

QQ is Chinese, who love to repeat a word twice to stress its meaning. So it's not just QPlayer but QQPlayer. QQPlayer is better known as QQ影音 (QQ Ying Yin) in its native country.

NI HAO!

Just a little FYI.

So is QQPlayer better than DicePlayer (has HW acceleration) or MoboPlayer (no HW acceleration)? My testing? No.

See this thread for more insights. And if possible, please ignore posts made by the troll "5thElement".

Funny thing about Archos 101. Of course it doesn't use Tegra 2, but on the product specs page, we can't tell just WTH they're using.

http://www.archos.com/products/ta/archos_101it/specs.html?country=us&lang=en

They might as well put it down as-- Graphic accelerator: MYOFB. My guess is this is so they can switch to cheapest components available.

Anyway, this post has exceeded its word count.

This sucks

I have tried dice player with a 720 mkv tv show and it is horrible. Very laggy with dice player.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] burden010:
Couldn't disagree more. I use Dice Player almost every morning to play my downloaded 720p mkv TV shows on the train. It works almost flawlessly (I say almost because sometimes it takes a few seconds to sync the sound, but really, that's to be expected).

I also use it to play large 5-9GB 720p mkv movies and again, works as expected.

I don't know what file or show you tried to watch, but try another.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timrock:
i do the same, and the only part of my shows that stutter are the openings, one the show starts, everything is fine. 720p mkv, over 1gb.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arrtoodeetoo:
I've been using MX player and it plays 720p MKV files better than any other video player (including Mobo and QQ). The only time it stutters is when I adjust the volume (causing the volume bar to pop up on the screen, which is probably what causes the stutter) and sometimes when I get a notification.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ysuleman:
Ok. I try to play any tv show. Like House or any 45 minute tv show in 720 mkv format. Just over a 1GB or 1.20GB and it plays nasty.

Hmm how are you able to play it without any messups. :(
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] callsignapollo:
+1 for Dice Player - make sure you get the Tegra2 plugin for Dice Player (should prompt you).

The only playback issue I had on my Xoom with 720p MKV's was when I was on 3.0.1.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] storm_rider_1:
I have no problem playing 720 .mkv with mobo player on my xoom.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ravenbsp:
I couldn't agree more, Dice player rocks and the dev is very responsive to requests. I had a problem with it auto-searching directories for media, and he responded to my email and had an update with a 24 hours that fixed the problem.

I have no problems at all playing high profile .mkv packed video.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plinkykev:
Dice Player = Awesome

I've got Dice Player installed on my Xoom (with the HW add-on pack installed) and it's playing everything I throw at it in terms of 720p stuff (.avi and .mp4 files), so confused as to why you guys are having these issues with it.

Have you got loads of other apps running still? (Android ain't great at closing stuff, so go check what running apps you have).

Maybe do a cold-start and run Dice Player only after powering on and see if any better?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brandogg:
There have been tons of updates to Dice Player, sometimes it makes things smoother, sometimes it makes things choppier.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t3rm3y:
any one come across a mkv with multiple audio tracks (1 x hindu and 1 x english for example)? the english track being audi otrack 2. i cant get any player to play the english. i tried removing the hindo track so only left with the english, but still doesnt play it, i assume thats to do with the media still saying it should have 2 tracks, and the 1st being hindu(now removed) so the xoom is just playing the video and thinks its also playing audio..??

Just use dice player I use it on Xoom watch my 720p anime and xperis play to

Truthfully, I don't think that many developers truly tried to port 2.3 to us. Supercurio got that test demo out, but no one ever put out a legitimate ROM. And if we have to rely on Samsung... Well, lets just get used to having Froyo.

I blame att most for the 2.2 update...and would love to see 2.2.1 or 2.3 but i found those comments laughable. How did they expect att to provide honeycomb when Google hasn't made it for a smartphone yet and thus no manufacters have it available on a phone. Would love to see it ported and the tablets/smartphones running the same OS as it would definitely help limit the fragmentation.

[Atrix 4G General] ricethief:
Tegrazone is a marketplace app for supported Tegra devices. It is for games and apps optimized for the Tegra processor. It has not launched yet so they weren't able to put it onto the Atrix. Should be able to download the app from market when it releases though.

http://www.nvidia.com/object/tegra-zone.html

Check out the price for Galaxy on Fire 2 in the screenshot....$14.99. I'm praying those prices are not right, $14.99 and $9.99 price tags for phone games seems pretty high.

Go to Fishlabs' forums. They can and may make a version for Froyo.
[Atrix 4G General] elementaldragon:
As for the comment about it only being available on the Sony Xperia Play.... last i heard, basically anything that will be released for that will also work on the Atrix. Don't remember exactly where i read it.... can't recall if it was something here on the XDA website, or if it was on Gizmodo.... but i'm pretty sure i read something about it.
[Atrix 4G General] Silent8Strike:
If it wasn't being released on Tegra devices Nvidia would have removed it from the TegraZone app I'm sure, they are pretty fast at those things. Before Crysis 2 came out they removed it from their DX11 lists right away after they found out Crytek was going to be a console sellout POS and only have DX9.
[Atrix 4G General] elementaldragon:
.... and yet still make what's probably the best looking DX9 game to date.... and have not said there won't be a DX11 update.... in fact hinting that there WILL be one at some point. Whether or not that comes, i don't care. I thoroughly enjoyed the game. Moreso than a lot of other games i've stupidly purchased, be it console or PC.
[Atrix 4G General] Alien7:
So can´t I download the game from anywhere? I have Cahinfire3D and the game on the TegraZone is only listed there... nothing more. I can´t download it or buy it.
