GPlayer lose sound in the latest version
This is because ac3 codec patent issue, for MKV files, suggest to use AAC codec for audio stream. You can get ac3killer from http://qe.tt/8KKJAZU?c and we will add ac3 decoder as a plugin in the next update.

”This is because ac3 codec patent issue, for MKV files, suggest to use AAC codec for audio stream.”
And for VOB files, it’s the same thing?
How I can use AAC codec? Explication please.

You should try going to “Settings> Video> Decoding Engine” and set it to Hardware Decoding

Can I get a full refund please? Your app is shit now because it won’t play sound on 90% of my video files… You app went from 10/10 to 0/10 in one update.

”This is because ac3 codec patent issue, for MKV files, suggest to use AAC codec for audio stream.”
But VOB , WAV files no sound. How do you edit.
Then turn my money now…..

just bought the App to find out that AC3 sound of my video won’t work. Most of my video have this setting as they come from HDTV recordings. Are you going to fix it? I heard that this is a recent problem.. can I downgrade to previous version ? Thanks..

Basically, this app is worthless. What the owners are doing is illegal as well – selling a product with claims it can’t keep. I hope they can fix the major fuck-up and get the sound playing on 90% of all movie files.
But, no one at gplayer seems to actually care!!

We will add a plugin to support ac3 in the next update.

January 7, 2013 at 7:07 pm
I hope so – Than it will be again the best app for video playback.
Speed up and try to get AC3 running again. Be the first! I guess everbody is more than willing to pay a decent amount of money for it.
It will be definately better to earn a bit of extra money for you, instead of only getting the worst ratings for your app!

when is the new upate coming? looks like everyone will be going some where else if you dont update quickly, howd you miss such a big problem like this in testing……..did you only test 1 movie???
so again WHEN is these update happening?
ben
January 9, 2013 at 2:04 am
With all due respect, I DID read the update notes and it clearly stated that support for AC3 would be removed. And I’m not from the staff 😉

You have released an update today and still has this problem.
Seriously guys, I give you that you have a really really really big balls. Everybody feels cheated by you. You are promising a solution at the next update. And “the next update” doesn’t solve the audio issue.
There isn’t anybody enough smart a your company to think that is better NOT to update till works properly again?
Kiks
February 1, 2013 at 1:07 am
The update from yesterday just screwed up A/V sync for all of my files. Now nothing will play – or to be more precise, everything will play with a 3s delay btw Audio and Video, which means GPlayer is essentially useless now.
I’m using MKV files with MP3 sound and h264 video.
Is anyone aware of this?
pieroxy
February 3, 2013 at 10:21 am
Actually, I am using AVI files, not MKV. So now I switched to AirAV which works fine. Bye GPlayer.
Don’t worry though, they also release updates on a regular basis and they also screw up their own player on a regular basis. If ever GPlayer is up again when that happens, I’ll get back.
Seriously, this is not the first time it happened. It sucks.

February 4, 2013 at 4:24 pm
I have just purchased Gplayer based on synology DS vedio app recommendation. There is no sound while playing MKV files. I have a iPhone 5. Please update the product immediately or refund my money
Vivek Sharma
March 7, 2013 at 3:01 am
Can you enlighten us as to what is inside your MKV files? Is there any AC3 sound?
pieroxy
March 7, 2013 at 10:01 am
An MKV file is a Matroska file. Matroska is an open source container format. It is an alternative to the popular AVI and MP4 formats and it also surpasses them in many areas. The container has both video and audio streams. My MKV files play well on my mac through VLC player and through HDTV live media streamer. Gplayer dosent have the necessary codecs to play the audio and one can only hope that the developers can fix this fast
Vivek Sharma
March 7, 2013 at 10:34 am
Thank you I know what a Matroska file is. But you didn’t answer my question: is your file using an AC3 soundtrack? If so, dont complain for it is clearly stated in the latest update that ac3 have issues.
pieroxy
March 8, 2013 at 11:56 pm
This is ashame and we all now cry cuz there aint no good player anymore which plays ac3 sound cuz the prcies of the patents are too high i hope the plugin will be there soon.
Bart
April 8, 2013 at 8:50 pm
At the end of the day, you have to give the app a low rating for them to care. No money coming in is a good motivator to fix things.

Where were the soundfix in the new update? 1 out of 2 files have no sound. You write it’s for MKW files but it’s a problem for all files
Arzon
July 12, 2013 at 9:21 pm
Still no sound in a lot of movies (avi, mkv) Have to convert to MP4 and then use native iTunes app.
This is getting ridiculous!!!

July 14, 2013 at 6:59 am
Love the app! My only problem: when I select software decoding (necessary for subtitles), “0.00%” becomes permanently displayed on the top left of the screen and it’s kinda bothersome. I’m running gplayer on an iPhone 5 if that matters.
Anthony
July 25, 2013 at 5:07 am
this is because there is a file can’t be played in the file list, remove it will fix this issue.we will fix this bug in the next update too.

It really sucks, almost all movies and tv shows are MKV and can’t play sound. I’m an ipad mini user, and im really disappointed. If problem is not solved by january 1st 2014 i’m going to formally put a complaint at Apple and ask for a refound.

Are you ever planning to fix the sound problem? I am trying to play an MKV and no sound! With all the feedback you got from everybody it seems that you just don’t care about your clients seriously… ???? If it stays like this I will do the same as several people here and put a complaint at Apple.

What is going on with Gplayer? I’ve been using this app for over a year with no problems, up until around the last update when all of a sudden the audio for 99.9% of my files stopped working. I’ve also noticed that trying to upload to my phone wirelessly from my computer no longer works either. I would hate to have to go over to someone else’s app but I’ve waited patiently for an update to fix the issue and there hasn’t been one. As things are now your application is completely worthless. Please resolve this issue or allow the option to return to an earlier version-maybe then it would do more than take up space.
