Did you install the codec? I also had a black screen once with one specific video file, probably something to do with the specific encoding options used. Usually it works fine though, did you try any other files?
Try installing the codec pack https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mxtech.ffmpeg.v7_neon&hl=en
I'm able to play x265/1080p content without any problems using MX Player that way. VLC stutters like you mentioned.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mxtech.ffmpeg.v7_neon download this.. Open mx player then settings. Then decoder.. Then scroll down to general.. Custom codecs
