MKVs

[Mystic1987]

So, I've done quite a bit of reading on the N7. With the specs it should handle 1080p mkvs very well. Can anyone confirm this? Does it have any issues with MKVs in any resolution?

Mine can't really even handle the anime 720p MKVs with subtitles I tried to play on it with MX Player (Moboplayer was even worse). It plays, but there is still slight stuttering. But at least the audio did seem to stay in sync.

Neither of those players support hardware acceleration for the N7, I think that VLC is working on a hardware accelerated player, so we'll see how that fares.

You can download a community developed version here [APP][13JUN][GB|ICS] VLC Media Player Beta *unofficial* Update6! - xda-developers

The Cortex A9/Tegra 2 version should work, but I haven't tried it yet.

When I first got my Nexus 7, Moboplayer did not work with it. The new update does indeed support hardware and software decoding and the website says it will play anything VLC will play since it uses the same FFmpeg decoder. I like Moboplayer because it does not have any ads and it works great!

What about 480? Like 90% of my anime is set at 480 so that would be the big one. Also, I plan on using MXplayer. I've always had great results with it in the past.

I have had no problems playing any of my 720p blu-ray rips. Sometimes a certain player will have issues and I just switch to a different one. I have MX/Vplayer/VLC.

I've had problems playing mkvs with all the players already mentioned. Try BS Player. Works like a charm for me.

Yea... converting everything is 100% out of the question. I've got 3 TBs of stuff and 99% of it is MKV lol

BS Player works for me.
