Having a strange issue. When I stream video, say on Beeb player it works fine then at about 5 mins it just stops dead!! Reload and it works fine for another 5 mins and stops again!
This is on wi-fi with a good connection. no other problems with speed of browsing or updates or on pre saved video.
Any ideas if this is caused by a setting anywhere?
Thanks
so no one else has streaming video cutting out after 5 minutes???
ive just checked on a stream from beeb player and also have this issue, but getting my phone replaced soon anyway...
Streaming fine for me over wifi, try adjusting the settings if you are having problems.
IV just tested mine using the beeb application (rather than the iplayer website)
And it worked fine for 30 mins on wifi

Trying to get iPlayer stuff to work on my TP2. I followed the instructions here:
http://blog.artesea.co.uk/2008/11/b...-the-x1-or-even-the-diamond-or-touch-pro.html
I can now get onto www.bbc.co.uk/mobile/iplayer okay, but when I actually try to play something, it shells out to the streaming media player, says it's playing, then says "buffering...0%" then does nothing - just stays buffering at 0% and eventually tells me it couldn't connect.
Any suggestions?
hmm...works fine on mine, through wifi, though the audio sometimes is slightly out of sync, picture is good though
I'm using myplayer on my TP2. Works perfectly for me

I think it only works across WIFI at the moment

I have a stock HTC Wildfire S that got the ota update to 2.35 er so. Before and after the update I am experiencing Streaming Video/Audio Sync Issues when trying to play video through my browser and the Netflix app. The audio rolls along with no hinderance or interference while the video stops, jumps, glithches or just plays but way out of sync with the audio. I have tryed several different websites to no avail. The craziest thing is, through the Youtube app, all videos play crisp and with no flaws. This is all being done over WiFi and has been tested on several different WiFi connections. On a side note, formated videos that are on my SD card also have no issues. I have the version of flash player for my version of android installed and 30-40mb of open internal storage.
Any idea would help, ty.
Same here. I wonder if overclocking is needed to get Netflix to play decently over WiFi.

Same here, I 'm even trying to get Skype to work. My wives LG Optimus Elite can stream Skype and Netflix video just fine even over a good 3G signal.
Yet on the Wildfire just trying to do audio with Skype wont even work on WiFi.
I am regretting this phone more and more.

In the past it has worked flawless playing 720p mkv files from my home server through WiFi over SMB using the Dice Player with hw rendering, but since quite a while back I've been getting annoying audio glitches in that player with some tv shows (I think it began after an update of the app some months back) and have used xbmc (with some lag due to software rendering). But since a couple of days (weeks?) I've been having big problems playing anything on the phone.
After several seconds Dice player plays for like 1-2sec, then pauses for a while and plays another second before it says it can't play the video, the same with xbmc. I then tried to connect to my smb share (on my Win2012 server) with ES File Explorer and tried to play it both with Dice player and MX player from there but still the same even after restarting the phone.
I then tried the app "bredbandskollen" (swedish bandwidth checker) and saw that the connection to internet through wifi was ok 20-30mbit/sec both ways. Then tried on my girlfriends Galaxy SII and it worked flawless to watch movies with Dice Player from my server through wifi.
Then I tried copying the file through ES File Explorer to the phone and got like 30-50kb/sec and it said it should take several hours to copy a ~500MB file (as opposed to 11MB/s and less than 1 minute to a wired Win8 computer and 7-8MB/s on a wireless Win8 laptop).
Playing HD music videos through YouTube or downloading files from the internet works perfect so it doesn't seem to be an issue with non-SMB stuff, also everything works fine on the other Android phone (and Win8 machines) so it doesn't seem to be an issue with the server or router, so I suppose it's something with my phone?
This is with the rom BugX 5.1 (I can't swear it worked after installing that in the beginning of May, but I really think it did and it did work on earlier BugX versions).
I have since full wiped and installed ViperX 3.7.0 and had the same issues. I then full wiped again and went back to BugX 5.1 and didn't install or Titanium restore anything, but just downloaded Dice player and ES File Explorer, but it behaved the same.
I've also switched the router to the less crowded channel 13, but still the same issues. Really annoying since it has worked before on the same mkv's/phone/router/server...
Any ideas how to troubleshoot this?
Edit: Just tried with the latest Skydragon 18.6 and still the same. However I did realize that it worked just as well playing in Dice Player through FTP from the same server and that seems very smooth and fast (even without the audio glitches I mentioned). I just find it very strange that the SMB seemed to get unusable all of a sudden...
Does anyone use the Veetle app here to stream movies and stuff?
What happens for me is the stream will randomly end and when I return to the homescreen when this happens, my WiFi is shown as disconnected. After a second it will connect again, and the whole thing repeats.
I've reinstalled the app to no avail.
Would like to know if other users are experiencing this as well. Thanks!
Just for future reference, I found the solution. I turned off wireless-N on my router. Seems like it doesn't play nice with the N7.
So I recently updated my phone to 5.9.023S_03131 official release. Rooted the phone, got TWRP and Xposed framework and all that. Now the issue I'm having is when in connected to any network.
Let me explain, for example I turn on the YouTube app, and the thumbnails are really slow at loading, like really slow (on my home network which is 300Mbit down, 40Mbit up, right next to the router). It feels like there is a huge delay, as if I have really high ping to the YouTube server, same with the twitch app, it takes a really long time for it to actually connect to a stream, but once it's connected it works fine. YouTube videos work fine once connected as well. This has started happening after I updated my phone. Any ideas?
Also one more issue I'm having is that the YouTube app is not giving me the option of watching videos in 1080p60fps, which I was able to before updating.
I'm fairly certain this is device software related, because neither my PC, or anyone else's phone on the network has the same issue.
So any ideas?
