Anybody here uses the Vulkano Player. Basically its another version of Slingbox.
Anyway when I stream video from it, it gets a little choppy on the Epic Touch. Doesn't matter if it is 3g, 4g, or wifi. It streams perfectly fine on HTC Evo, Motorola Photon, itouch, Samsung galaxy tab 7.0 plus, and etc. This is actually my third epic touch and all of them have the same problem. I've tried all version of the Vulkano and the problem remains.

I use the vulkano app on my epic touch. I came from an evo 4g and the video is noticeably smoother with less freezes. using either wifi or 3g. I assumed this was due to the faster processor in the phone. How fast are your data speeds?
My data speeds are 20 mbs wifi, 5 mbs 4G.
Here is a sample of my video clip streaming outputed with mhl mirroring. On my phone it actually says its streaming at around 2000 mbs. Also only the video is choppy the audio is perfectly fine and in sync.

That's about the quality of the video I get on 3g (4g usually worthless in my area).
It was generally a lot worse on the evo.

So I've checked through the forums quite a bit and I can't seem to come up with a really good way to stream movies or tv from my pc to my phone without the quality being absolute destroyed. (OrbCaster)
Is there any way of streaming from my PC to my phone without losing a ton of quality?
VLC can do it, and there's apps in the Market to remote control the program on your computer.
'Course, if you try to go beyond streaming on your LAN (ie, over 3G), forget it. Quality's pretty much always going to be crap, because consumer uplink connections suck, as does 3G in general.
Well, I have 2mbps upload at home, and at work, where I'd be watching this, I'd be on wifi with 30mbps down. Is that still too crappy to work?

Its not the download in most cases its the upload. I have 2mbps at home as well and a slingbox and it plays great over WiFi and OK over 3G. Consider getting a Slingbox best 100 bucks I have spent on anything like that. Works great.
Well last year i excitedly got my samsung galaxy S because it can play flash videos natively but it sometimes stutters and struggles when streaming online flash video. I remember i even got it working on some sites that stream movies, if it uses flash.
I never tried the Galaxy S II or Nexus S, so i'm just wondering if this phone, which the specs are like twice as good, would be able to play those streams completely smooth?
It has a dedicated decoder chip. Should be fine.
I voided my warranty and your nexus.
so i cracked my EVO screen for the first time in 1 1/2 years and rather than replace it, decided to upgrade to the SGS2...........
a couple weeks back i was at my gf's house playing with NFL Sunday ticket on my laptop and EVO. it looks "decent" on my latop and HORRIBLE on my EVO. so i decided to try her iPhone(sprint 4s) to see how it handled it. i was dumbfounded. the iPhone looked close to HD quality. i was pissed! when i was at the sprint store discussing my EVO i brought up the iPhone's performance vs. the EVO and the rep said the SGS2 would perform just like the iPhone.
SO....i decided to order an SGS2. i was excited when i got the phone. used netflix and youtube and have been very impressed with the video quality. THEN....i tried NFL Sun Tix. BUMMER.....same quality as my EVO. Grabbed my gf's iPhone just to make sure it wasn't a network issue? nope! iPhone was HD quality..............
i did notice on the SGS2 on netflix,(i live in a non 4G city) once i load a movie if i hit "pause" for 30 sec's or so and let it buffer, the quality remains excellent. while on NFL Sun Tix, there are no control options for the video playback. there are though on the iPhone. so i'm blaming DirecTV on this one. looks like they've given the iPhone developmental priority over the android platform. it's really pretty sad too considering how well the SGS2 plays video. just too bad they didn't implement any video playback controls for android.
has anyone else found a way to harness the SGS2's video power's with the Sun Tix app????
Wish I had an answer, I'm in a 4G city and still have issues. What carrier are you with?

i'm with sprint. so is my gf. honestly, the quality of her feed for Sunday ticket is as close as i've seen to watching HDTV. mine is pixelated, choppy, blurry and almost unwatchable. and btw, we live in tulsa where there isn't 4G for sprint. her amazing results are running iphone 4s on 3g.
so i have a fairly new lg smart TV with built in chromecast..or their alternative..i can connect fine to it from my the phone, image comes up, looks clear, but its so choppy and stuttery that its unusable really..
the same thing happens with my asus memo pad..and one else experienced this or got any tips, cheers
I have had this problem when my internet speed just wasn't fast enough for streaming. We were suppose to have 30 mbps but in reality it was 2-3 mbps, Hargray said we lost all that speed due to it being a wireless connection. We got rid of Hargray, got TimeWarner, paid for 50 mbps, and in reality wirelessly we still got 50 mbps wirelessly and streaming was no longer a problem. This was not with miracast, but netflix and amazon streaming- but the principle is the same.
works very well with cm11.. yay
back to stock 4.6.1 and its ****, whats the difference between stock and cm11??
My WIFI internet speed test results:
Laptop (i5 4GB ram running Win7, Chrome ) - 1.08 mbps download
ZF2 (2.3GHz and 4GB ram, Chrome ) -1.3 mbps download
Even though the speedtest numbers are similar, my laptop is markedly faster in loading websites and streaming videos, especially when using multiple tabs. Actually i find streaming html5 videos relatively slow on my phone especially the initial buffer period.
For example, my laptop will start playing a video as soon as i click on it, while a similar video will take at least 40 seconds to start playing on my phone. Worst still, if i seek a different time stamp, it will buffer again wasting my time and annoy the heck out of me. Streaming HD videos, naturally is out of the question.
Is this normal or is there something wrong with my phone? I just upgraded from a galaxy s2 btw and so far, i find the upgrade rather unremarkable tbh.
