Since a bought the MHL adapter 2.0 (11 pins) from Samsung I have been trying to replace my WD TV mediaplayer by playing movies through the phone instead but every 1080p mkv file I try to play is choppy.

Players I have used are:
VLC player Beta
Diceplayer
BSplayer
Archos Player Pro
MXplayer
MoboPlayer Pro

None seems to work, my reference mkv file is:

"Escape.Plan.2013.1080p.BluRay.DTS-HD.MA.7.1.x264"

Size: 11.9 GB
Video: 1920x800
Bitrate: 9497 kbps (x264 High@L4.1)
Audio: English DTS-HD MA 7.1 Ch 5046 kbps

Thanks in advance!

From my experience DTS files have problems with playback as they are a proprietary codec. Try to find a 1080p version with AC3 audio.
Also, did you download the extra codecs on mx player?

I dled a mkv with ac-3. It lagged on BSplayer but not on Archors so I will stick with that for now. Just going to take time to replace all those with DTS :p

Thanks for the help.

You should download mx player codecs. Just go in the options menu within mx player and there should be an option to download them directly to the device. Once you download the codecs even dts should work
