[Q] Video Playback - Verizon Droid Incredible 2

For some reason my video playback has sucked lately. MP4 files are choppy and slow. I've rebooted, and tried MX Player as well as VPlayer. Any ideas?

What Rom are you using. Using the stock SD card?

Running Gingersense with a 1.6Ghz kernel. Stock 16GB micro SD card. The phone itself is quick.

Anything I can do to get it playing videos?

Best I know is a wipe and re flash. Last I checked mine works..sure its not the video

It's multiple videos so I know it's not just one single one. Dang I hate wiping all the data but I suppose it's time. Is there a way to speed up loading all my apps??

I completely wiped using ROM manager and first thing tried to play this 114MB MP4 file w/VPlayer and it was the exact same! Guess I ruled that out, but now what?!? A different player?

Try mobo player

Just tried Mobo and it's the same. Audio is fine but video is slow...

Does anyone have any other ideas? I have since tried two other kernels and two different ROMs. Running Cyanogen 7 now. Video playback still stinks.

CM7 Issue!

hi guys, I recently went from RMK's rom back to CM7 Nightly 24, and I tried to go on CollegeHumor and some other websites (Videobb, VidXDen, etc.) And the videos wont play, but audio will, I've tried all other browsers and this happens to every video I try to play in browser (other than 240p videos and MegaVideo), this only happens on CM7, does anyone know a fix for this?

I had this problem with flash and the stock browser. I dont know what is the problem but since then I've downloaded Opera and the videos play fine.
I tried Dolphin Browser, but it didn't work, I'm on 26 so I hope it'll work. Thanks for the responses so far, I'll be trying Opera today.

I'm assuming these are flash videos that you're having issues with? And you have the latest adobe flash downloaded from the market?
Yes, I'm using the latest version of Flash from the Market.

I can't get some flash videos to work on cm7 with the default browser but it works with opera for some reason. Had to turn the turbo feature off tho.

U can try clearing browser n adobe flash data.
Dolphin browser is the stock browser with a pretty gui added on. Opera and firefox are completely different entities from what I understand.

Playing .avi movies ???

I remember I used to do this on my epic... I think I would change the .avi to 3gp or mp4..but I just tried and it didn't work.. does anyone know a way to get them towork on the epics videos app or an app that supports .avi files?

Are you using the stock player on a stock rom? The stock epic video player supports a plethora of video codecs and contaniners, if you aren't running stock, perhaps it's something that was removed.

I'm on ics
So what if I just extracted the stock video apk from a stock rom and installed it.. think that would work?
You could try that, but honestly, I'd just grab a 3rd party player from the market that supports your video format of choice. That'e a bunch of options, and it would be easier.
im using the stock deodexed eh06 leak. one thought i have is that maybe the .avi is corrupted? did you try multiple files?

Rockplayer plays avi. I think it actually plays most video files.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
The .avi file is a container for various video formats. Thus some avi files may play while others won't, the best player I've found was Vitalplayer.

Ok so here is the scoop:
Xfinity TV: control recordings or what you're watching on your TV.
Works w/o issues
Xfinity Mobile: watch comcast content.
this apps says it is ICS compatible now, but I had no video just sound.
new app called Xfinity Player:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...laynow&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd
works perfectly, I installed (11mb) and ran a show w/o issues.
I hope that helps; looks like comcast may be moving things around.
I'll restore back to Thunderhawk (OMG the batter life) and test the same apps and report back - about if the xfinity mobile app acts the same.

Damn, sorry to hear that.
You'll probably have to pose the question to xfinity.
I have also had this problem, even when I upgraded from rc2 to rc3, switched su's and moved to sd card, clear data, etc.

No HW decoding?

On MX Player there is an option to pick hardware decoder for a video. But on this phone its locked, and I can only pick software. I am running Skyraider Zeus.
Im running CM9 and I have the option and it works. Did MX prompt you to install the neon codec?

What is the point of your "bump"?
I guess it depends on the video format. I have come across some videos that I can use HW encoding and then some the option will be grayed out.

Flash isn't supported by Jelly Bean if that's what you're running. Check this out. This is a short article about it that also gives work around or two to help. There are also a tin of posts here on xda that talk about it. You can also use other browsers that will play flash. Hope it helps:

Dolphin has disabled flash support for several versions now. Boat still allows flash. It's the main reason I switched from Dolphin to Boat.

I can confirm using Adode 11.1 and using Firefox works, have to make sure you activate the plugin, can't remember how I did that though... haha
I think I went to the Flash settings and allowed it to use the plugin, I also have to do that when I try to play a video

Weird, I swear my Chrome browser is working with Flash just fine. I did, however uninstall this app because it was a nuisance.
I just upgraded from the old EVO 4g to the S3 and I just downloaded the flash for 4.0 from Adobe. Is there any certain way to install to get it to work properly and I am still using stock browser? I had my EVO for two years+ and I am enjoying the new S3! Thanks!

There is usually a setting for managing add-ons in the browser settings menu. Personally, I use Boat, which allows Flash "always-on" or "on-demand" settings.
Boat browser works great
