hello all... i m facing a strange lag in my htc m9. currently running Viper one m9 4.3.0. but i have tested with stock rom also , that, i cannot play 4k videos smoothly which i'have downloaded from youtube. i moved that video to my device memory, then opened it with mx player. that video is only playable with mx's SW mode but veryyyyy slowly. both the HW/HW+ mode says "not supported" what can i do to play those 4k videos smoothly in my device? please..T.I.A.
The M9 have an 1080p display, so 4k videos, even 2k videos won't look better than 1080p videos...
You can download the videos at full hd resolution from youtube, you will save space too.
The problem is mxplayer. Because it is downscaling the video from 4k to 1080p on the fly via software it can only convert so much in so little time and that causes it to pause while it converts.
You will find that youtube servers do the bitrate at their end so even if the video says 4k, if you play it via the YouTube app you'll only get the max resolution that your device can handle, in this case 1080p as that is all your device can do.

Hi guys, i have just gotten my desire sometime back, been exploring it and recently downloaded a awesome apps call JetVD that allows me to download 720P videos from youtube directly to my desire.
However, after downloading, when trying to play the video using default player mzxing player, rockplayer, astroplayer, all i get is a black screen but the audio is actually running fine...just want to check if 720p playback is supported on the desire??
I am running android 2.1.
advice please. thanks millions.
well, i've played back 720p vids, but not at it's proper framerate. i assume that since the 720p recording we get it a low fps version, then the playback is also limited
Is this going to be fixed in the official 2.2?
who knows. we'll have to wait and see.
i assume not though
I've played succesfully 720p H.264 baseline L3.1 @ 8000kbps in MP4 container without any perfomance problem, so the device is indeed able to play 720p videos.
I have played 720 from youtube on the Desire just fine. I must say though... don't try the 1080p...lol. It ATTEMPTS to play it, but, well... it's just a mess. lol.
hello.
I would like to play full movies 1080p & 720p on my Gnex.
I'm using mx player. before I play the video I'm shutting down all other apps via Advanced task killer.
still, the video is lagging, even with 720P movies.
what can I do to make it run smoothly ?
Thank you !
I use MX Player to play 720p and 1080p mp4 videos and they play smoothly. I haven't tried mkv videos yet, though.

From what I understand, these video players that allow you to play non-naively supported video extensions are constantly decoding the video on a software level.
You'll need one that supports full hardware decoding.
I don't really have a recommendation...but I'd google around and see if you find one that works for our phones.
I'd help, but I don't really have any MKV files lying around
Thank you friend.
It is very important to me.
(and yes I am talking about mkv files)

mx and bs players both play 720p .mkv's fine for me - haven't tried any 1080p.
I have tried a few browsers and 720p is the highest i can play without the audio and video going out of sync or the video jumping, by the way it was chrome.
I was asked this question by an future 10.5" buyer who wanted to know if it was possible to play 1440p youtube video`s smoothly.

Tried playing 4K video on my G4 and it could not handle it... only sound kept coming... *.mkv format is what I tried.
INstalled MX Player with Customer DTS codec support.. tried all..nothing helped!!!!
Please provide some help and I downloaded videos from Youtube 4K Resolution ones...
So it sounds like you downloaded a video but you don't have the codecs.
Is this happening with all videos?
I would imagine that you are able to play them just fine on youtube?
I hate to break it to you, but you won't get quicker/better responses based on how much larger you make your text.
Yes 4k does not play and but 2k(1440p) plays fine in ma youtube... But once downloaded cannot play 1440p videos using any player.. tested mx, dice, bs and stock player too
I have found the issue in playing the 4k and 2K videos I downloaded from Youtube.
I downloaded MKV format which was the culprit... 2k and 4k mp4 formats work fine... mkv works only till 1080p.. may be a codec for mkv should be released for ARM V8

I tried 4K video on VLC with enabled Full HW acceleration and without single lag
test video here: http://demo-uhd3d.com/fiche.php?cat=uhd&id=149'
every video with 60+MB/s bandwith (ofc depends on storage speed, on my Samsung 32GB EVO+ even 70MB/s plays without problems) is laggy 10 bit HEVC is not playing H264 works without problems
YT 4K videos works also on VLC...
same problem
Only 4k video with h264 of codec
Maybe it's too late to reply but the fact that LG G4 only supports 4K video in h264 (mp4) format. You should convert the video with your PC (i recommends Handbrake) select 2160p profile and do some edits or you can convert with any software. Make sure the files converted to mp4. The only one reason if you downloaded a 4k youtube video and it can't directly played on G4 is just because youtube codec for 4k isn't h264 as like 1080p or lower but webm.
Hello everyone.
I bought a Xperia Z5 Premium Dual last month and I want to use it for movies. But the app Movies doesn't support DD 5.1 and AAC audio so I used MX Player. Do the 4K upscaling and Image Enhancements work in MX Player? Does the MX Player downscale 4K videos to 1080p? When I watch a 1080p video in MX Player, if I choose SW decoder, the details seem to be smoother (I can't see pixels), and if I choose HW/HW+ decoder, the details seem to be clearer (I can see pixels).
Sorry for my bad English.
That would be an interesting thing to figure out.
The only objective test I can think of doing on a single device is going into Airplane mode and playing a long(~30min) 4K video on both players with identical brightness settings (H/W and S/W on MX).
Afterwards compare battery percentage drop, or ideally measure power consumption with an external application for more detailed results
Whenever the power drain is less, should mean it's rendering at 1080p
If you have some time on your hands, go crazy. I can try it over the weekend
Just use tubemate app (search on google)
You will find the option to download videos in 4k mp4 because z5p supports mp4 format easily and after you will download you can see there will be a 4k lable in album apps (i mean on the latest file you downloaded)
