Hello everyone,
I can't find any way to have a video decoded using H/W Decoding with any player, video, nor custom roms.
With official Roms, I used WMP to transcode and send videos to my MB526 via MTP mode, which resulted in wmv files. This way, MX Player was able to play videos using hardware decoding (how ever, as far as I remember, the quality was sloppy).
But of course, that solution does not work anymore with custom roms, as MTP, wma and wmv are gone.
Right now I send .avi or .mp4 files using ftp; but I can't figure out a way to make them play using hardware decoding. All I got are insults like "can't play using H/W Decoder" (S/W works just fine, as long as I simplify the work for the chip : lower quality and mpeg2; but even then I think that HW decoding would spare the battery)
I tried :
- Different ROMs : Quark's CM10 roms, and White Rabbit (CM7) roms (among others)
- Different Codecs : MP4 (h264), Mpeg2, aac audio, mp3 audio, etc.
- Different Resolutions and Qualities : 854x480, 320x240, 25fps, 15fps, etc.
- Different Transcoders : vlc, ffmpeg, ...
- Different Players : MX Player (with or without armv7 codec), VLC, stock
Even in software mode, I have to decrease quality of the video to (150Mb for 20 minutes in mpeg2) to be able to run videos smoothly.
I searched everywhere in the forum but couldn't find any answer (I saw people complaining they can't play 720p with HW decoding, but I can't even play anything with HW decoding).
Do anyone knows what I did wrong ? Or how I could get a workaround ?
Regards
