I will test and report...

I think yes. MX or VLC use own player with hw codec. I use the native Android MediaPlayer class.

Could you add a configuration option to disable hardware decoding? I think my tablet should be fast enough to decode at least SD streams with its CPU and then we would know if it is related to hw GPU decoding ...

It was a understudy. Only MX and VLC Player have own hw codec which can be disabled in the called app.

OK, that means that you cannot control if HW decoding is used or not in MediaPlayer?

Yes, I can not control it.

I experience the same problems since I switched from an Acer Tablet with Android 4.4 to a new Huawei Mediapad Lite with Android 7.0. If streams start with the internal player then the quality is very low (much block artefacts, choppy playback) and unusable.

I tried all kinds of profiles (direct, VLC, ffmpeg, http, http-ffmpeg, ...) and did not find a profile that works in an acceptable quality.

MXPlayer plays fine and KODI w/ TV server plugin plays the streams fine, too, but I would love to use MPTVScheduler and not switch to KODI ... :-(

Which tests and/or logs do you need?

OK, forget everything I wrote ...

It works perfectly with http live streaming (using vlc-http-streaming, not ffmpeg). I do not know why it works, if something changed or if I simply did not try these profiles in my first attempt...

I even added another http live streaming profile for full HD with more bitrate (vb = 4096) to improve picture quality. Only the skipping behavior is a bit weird: If I click on a position, e.g. 4:58 min, then it jumps to 5:20 min and after 2 or 3 three seconds it jumps back to 4:58 and continues to play from this position. But that is not really a problem, I can perfectly live with that.

I already uninstalled kodi

Thanks again @regeszter for this brilliant app!

Hi reg,

I have some recordings that show subtitles although I turned off subtitles in Mpextended (see attachment). Is it possible to turn them off in internal player?

I don't have any TV stream with subtitle. Can you upload to a file share (Google Drive, OneDrive or similar) a short file for me?
