[Resolved] MX Player Can Playback HEVC/H265 codec

“When this app will support a 4K videos? The app can already play 4K video and HEVC. MX Player uses ffmpeg as a base decoder, so whatever ffmpeg can play, MX can play. Of course, 4K and HEVC support isn’t optimal by anyone right now, so don’t expect stellar results.”

HEVC encodes video with significantly higher quality than AVC. Therefore, if it possible, people give preference to HEVC codec videos playing of course. Namely the video you are watching or downloading may precisely be encoded with HEVC For MX Player. Thus a powerful HEVC player is in demand greatly for better video enjoyment on Mac iPhone iPad and Android devices.

Important Notes/Features About MX Players:

• The playback of a particular video depends on your device’s hardware also. Don’t expect to play x265 coded videos on a very cheap/old Android device using MX Player!
• The player supports hardware acceleration. This means that the player can make full use of your device’s hardware (along with software) to perform various playback related functions using HW+ decoder. You can always select your decoder using the HW/SW decoder icon present at top right corner of the screen within the player.
• The player fully supports multi-core decoding. This means that the player will make full use of your device’s multi-core processor for decoding purpose. This feature can be considered very useful for those who have bought a quad-core mobile device just for Messaging, WhatsApp, Facebook and YouTube!
• The player also allows you to zoom in (upto 300%) and out across the screen of your device.
• The player also supports subtitles with format of .idx, .sub, .srt etc. You can also set the speed and synchronization of the subtitles.
• You can also set your own aspect ratio within the player. The supported aspect ratios are: 1:1, 4:3, 16:9, 16:10, 21:9 (2.33:1), 64:27 (2.37:1), 2.21:1, 2.35:1, 2.39:1, 5:4 and custom.

MX Player comes conveniently packaged with tons of video codec making it a go-to app for anyone looking for a do-it-all solution for playing a wide variety of video formats and H.265/HEVC is included. What’s more, some guys may also have the issues of importing H.265/HEVC files to MX Player for watching.

Method One: How To Play HEVC Files With MX Player – Lag Fix

Once upon a time I had a field day downloading HD movies without bothering about the size of the files but now that Etisalat has long shut down that service, I have reverted to watching my data consumption again. I now focus on downloading HEVC formatted movies as they come in high quality while keeping file size really low. Unfortunately not many android video players out there support this format. MX Player being the best android video player out there supports this format by default BUT unfortunately it lags on some devices.

To fix the lag issue simple go to Settings >> Decoder and click on CPU Core Limit. For dual core devices set it to 2, quad core 4 and octa core 8.

Also tick Use Speedup Tricks and then reboot your device.

Now when playing files like HEVC or MKV which lag, simply switch the decoder from HW decoder to SW decoder.

HEVC/MKV files should now play well without lags.

NOTE: If the HEVC file’s audio component was encoded with dts/dtshd/ac3/eac3/mlp codecs, you will not get audio. To fix this issue do please check out?MX Player Custom Codec with DTS & AC3 Support

Also do please note that switching from HW decoder to SW decoder will consume your battery a lot faster as SW decoding makes use of the CPU while HW makes use of the device’s GPU. Increased CPU usage = Increased battery usage.

Please let us know if this works for you or not. Thanks.
