Hi, I was hoping someone maybe able to help me
I have been using AVPlayer HD for past two years on various iPads.
I recently purchased the new ipad Air and installed AVPlayer

When I am watching 720 mkv tv series I seem to watch one programme fine, then all of a sudden the app just restarts and begins playing the program from the start with no sound

I have never experienced this problem on previous iPads or app version

I have re-installed app but same problem

Has anyone experienced this or over come it

Thanks for any replies or advise

Until the problem is fixed, try either nPlayer or remuxing your MKV's into standard mov / mp4 / m4v files with, say, Subler. The first might (albeit not guaranteed to) work. The second is guaranteed to not cause any problems in any player but requires a bit of additional effort / time.

It MAY be specific to your particular MKV file; this is why other people haven't run into the problem.

As stated, your best bet is remuxing.

That's pretty normal with a paradigm shift; for example, one-core to dual-core, 32 to 64bits etc.

I am having exactly the same issue with ipad air and avplayer hd :( strange, that there is still no information or fix on this one.
It happens almost on every video I watch. Pretty annoying :mad:
