H265 Playback

[sylaw]

so i recently purchased a Xperia XZ premium. I was really exited since i already have a massive library of 4K movies , and i get to watch them on the go. But sadly i found out the default Video player does not support H265 codec and i had no choice but to use VLC & MX player. so my problem is do i get the same level of HDR play back performance and up-scaling level with VB frame rate sync with these 3rd party players? because iv heard that the default video app has all of those options that i have pointed out.

Also please Let me know which player you use.. Thank you :angel:

But it must suppurt it becuase device can record 4k h265 by it self and can play that.

Sadly the phone is only allowing us to run 4K files at H264 codec using the OEM app

That is not true. You can play h265 hevc movies with the album app. Also mkv files.

im not saying it cant.. but it lags like crazy.. ( stutters every frame. heck it even skip frames) fyi im on oreo ( 47.1.A.12.145)

No, it don't lags! You should check the thread download from Oreo to Nougat the back to oreo... It seems it is a problem with partition fragmentation... Or google play services... You can try to become beta for google play services, if not helps just downgrade to Nougat then update again to oreo

Heck... so you are saying i can run 2160p 10 bit h265 HDR mkv files without a lag on default video player and the lag im getting is due to a software fragmentation? bruhhh.... sony why you do this.
@Inerent also my man i didnt get this part of what you said "You can try to become beta for google play services" care to explain ^_^

 

[undefine]

Nope it is not software dependent, actually it is the way the file encoded causes the problem. Try to shoot a video with 4K HEVC from your camera, you can play it without lag.

As far as I know it doesn't lags in 8bit, and unless you have OLED display (XZP has IPS) you can't really tell the difference. -- No you can tell the difference but sadly this doesn't change the situation.

MX Player is the greatest one in terms of playback, but VLC is Ad-Free and open source.
