Stuttering live video....WTF - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm quite dissappointed in my phone today. I go to watch the masters live on cbs and the video is stuttering but audio was perfect.so my buddy next to me whips out his iphone and goes to the same site and his is flawless. I have since tried on wifi, with stock browser, dolphin hd, opera and firefox still no and actually stock and firefox will not even show the player at all. I also oc'ed just for the situation and changed governor to ondemand and it is still stuttering video. Wtf why is this and is there a fix?

Sigh
What ROM are you on?
What kernel are you on?
How long have you been on this ROM?
Have you tried supercharging it?

Clean gb mtd been on it forever. Why supercharge this should not be an issue at all. It is only this site that I am seeing an issue with. Not youtube or any other video. But still iphone did it flawess that's not acceptable to me sigh

Apparently it is an issue. Maybe CleanGB is set to render on hardware and it's not doing so well. Maybe it's not and vice versa.
Try wiping dalvik and cache. And supercharging.
Or maybe switch off the extremely outdated TW software.

I was thinking more like a codec and it was optimized for iphone but to test properly here is the link. Report your results and rom & kernel.
http://www.cbssports.com/video/player/masters-live

I just flashed the peoples rom the included kernel is shadow kernel. It still stutters on that video. So I think that confirms its a codec issue.
*edit* also now I just seen when the player opened it said video not supported for mobile so that makes the codec a lot more viable.

I also had stuttering onMIUIGB just to confirm, I actually ended up watching the whole thing lol

Same problem here. My girlfriends Evo is having trouble playing youtube videos. Gives the standard "cannot play." She is running stock, updated current.

Same here rofl.
Was happening to me on every vid, until I figured out that it was because I set stagefright media player to false as a Pandora fix. Once I set it back to true all my you tube vids play fine. In the app, and on YouTube mobile.
Sent from my blah blah blah blah
edit - I'm referring to the video cannot be played error, btw.
So i figured out when it stopps working.
It stops working as soon as i play a youtube clip from m.youtube.com on the browser. When you play there it plays it in the built in browser player and not the youtube app.
Anyone knows why this happens ?
I did try to clear defaults.
It always gives me that error in the youtube app for me. I dont know why but if I try enough times I can get it to finally play. I am just waiting for the new youtube app from the desire Z to be ported.
Anybody experience the Youtube app stating the video cannot be played in my country?I mean come on I'm in Florida!Any ideas?
Florida is almost Mexico so it doesn't count. (j/k)
Lol yeah its pretty close to Mexico...Its still weird though that it thinks I'm in another country
So ? Any progress on this ? I have to keep reverting back to a backup after the thing stops working.
same thing!
my Evo is doing the same thing i think.. almost every video i play comes up with the "sorry this video could not be played" or "sorry there was a problem playing this video"
it's extremely annoying! I am a former iPhone user and well.. sorry to say but the iphone had ZERO problems playing video.. if google designed android.. and OWNS youtube.. then wtf? I am running Fresh Evo 3.0.0.1 (whatever the newest release is) but it has done it since before root and any custom roms.. so far ive tried searching the forums.. but found not one real fix.. unless im blind.. is there a fix or what?
thanks.. im thinking about just unrooting and bringing to sprint.. seems like im not the only one with this problem though so i dont know if that would help out really..

choppy streaming

couple of questions about streaming to the gio. which program works best and with which settings? i have real problems when streaming anything other than low res avi files. cant seem to get the transcoding options right on the pc end. also is there a player thats best for it? what causes the choppyness? is it the cpu more than the video hardware on the phone? i've tried stopping all running apps in the background and its still not smooth. any suggestions aside from manually converting every file? its gotten to where im almost ready to get another more powerful phone. i've tried several roms hoping for some sort of hardware acceleration but havent had much luck.

Which rom are you using, if you are on cm9 or 10 I understand that streaming won't be that good. but if you are on stock rom or something like Enhanced236 it's indeed weird. I got a few tips if that's the case. Try using MX Player, overclock your device when your watching a video (min:800 max:800), download the video instead of streaming it, trying to watch something in 1080p only will be rough on your phone, try converting the video to 320x480.

yeah i've been converting lately. seems easiest to just change resolution doesnt take long with handbrake. still would be nice if it was automatic plug and play. currently using enhanced rom. will try stock rom though just to see.

Video playback stuttering + few question

I have a problem with almost any video on hox including youtube. So far I tried x264 and divx. It also happens in youtube app... It feels like the cpu isn't catching up... Like its always on low clock speed. Any idea how to fix it?
4.0.4 with sense (unrooted)
Btw, what are the advantages and disadvantages of putting vanilla android on hox instead of the factory sense version? I'm pretty new in android world so i'm still catching things up...
Thanks!
maybe the cores really are not picking up... install CPU Stats or Micro CPU Monitor from Play Store so you can check your CPU while playing movies.
If there are problems with the cores, you should check your warrenty
Btw. Maybe another process is using the cores, so movies are stuttering.
Already had micro cpu. Thete is only one core active while playing video or watching youtube. And if it gets to 100% the second core won't activate. However, while playing games or using chrome, multiple cores are normally activated.

[Q] Jelly King v1.3 Video Playback in browser

Hey everyone, been using kantry123's jelly king v1.3 for quite awhile, and realised there were a few issues with video playback, but can't post this in the dev thread cos I haven't got enough posts yet. Anyway, here are the problems: In youtube, green lines in video playback both in HQ and LQ at times, rather unpredictable, sound has no issues though. Also, in the browser, youtube doesn't work, can't play any videos from websites like dailymotion. Browser attempts to open the video but it stops after awhile. Attempted this with Dolphin and other browsers but nothing worked. Perhaps there's something wrong with the OpenGL?
If anyone can help me, Thanks! Hope to get this fixed then this rom would be almost perfect!

Videos from browser don't work in any rom which is ICS+ but there shouldn't be any green lines so try reflashing the rom.
Don't Forget to press thanks.
Odp: [Q] Jelly King v1.3 Video Playback in browser
I was able to get videos in browsers working on my wfs while using cm10 (latest modpunks) , I installed armv6 version of flash and manually pushed and chmod few libs to system. Problem is that they weren't smooth at all (i guess it's cpus fault), and that's why recommend using yt app for that. If you ll still interested i might look for these files again, as I don't use that phone anymore and I didn't keep it.

Fast audio playback?

Hi!
I've been using Android for three years but not once have I encountered a problem like this...
So basically all the music I throw at the device(internet streams like YouTube and GrooveShark) are playing back at a faster rate than they should be. GrooveShark is the worst, it plays back at like 10x speed, YouTube(YT for TV and uListen) play the music and videos much slower, like 120% speed, but still noticably faster than it does on other devices.
When I look at the timestamp(the seek bar or whatever) I can see that the seconds pass much faster than they should.
I have no idea what's going on. Currently running CM10 but also occurs on stock. OUYA is not overclocked and changing the processor settings doesn't fix anything...
Thanks if someone can help.

That's a bug in cm10. It makes me sad.

So it is common. That sucks. But then again so does the official firmware... Hopefully there'll be a fix some day.
