I am running cm10 10/2/12 version with k47 kernel 9/23/12. I have ran cm10 different times with my gs3 and always get awful battery life. I love cm10 but I need better battery. the kernel was only flashed, never tweaked with. there is also lte in my area, but what is this media server. its not the rom, i have flahed many versions of it and always get the same issue. any ideas?
Media Server covers any application that plays media such as Google Play Music, PowerAmp, any audio / video player application. I have flashed a few different JB ROMs and have had terrible battery life on most of them. Android OS is always my culprit though. I would assume that one of your media player apps is constantly trying to scan a file or directory and that is why the media server usage is so high.

Is anyone running the Plex Media Player successfully on the A100?
I am on the latest 1.12 ICS leak and when attempting to play a TV show from my library over my LAN I receive the following:
"We're sorry but there was a problem attempting to play 'TV Show name here'
There was a problem with media playback."
For a song I receive:
"We're sorry but there was a problem attempting to play 'song name here'
An error occurred (error 0x 17: UNKNOWN)"
I can connect to the server just fine and the content shows up as expected but playing the media results in the above errors.
I have tried all different combinations in the settings and think this may be an ICS issue. Unfortunately I never tried it on HC before I upgraded so I can't be sure if its the device or the android version.
I pretty sure it's not a codec issue because the content plays fine in PLEX on my other android devices and I believe the app itself installs the codecs.
Anyone have it working on either HC or ICS?
Thanks!
Well I guess nobody use this application?
As an update I have researched the issue further and through the PLEX forum's have determined that ICS Rom's in general ARE experiencing problems with this app. Some users are saying that if the device has received an "official" ICS (Ex. Galaxy Nexus, Moto Xoom, Etc.) that the application is working fine while users on "custom" ICS rom's are having difficulty.
The general belief is that the official ICS Rom's offer built in hardware acceleration and the custom rom's do not because they were not built from the official source.
This worries me because the ICS we are using is a leak of the official and I would assume hardware acceleration was already incorporated. Perhaps not and they will add it last minute prior to the official release but I'm doubtful.
Again, if anybody uses this app, posting your experience would be appreciated.
I have never even heard of this app before, try using more widely known/supported apps like MX video player, TTPod, and PowerAMP.

Thanks for the advice however PLEX is way more than just a "player". It is a complete media content system that is running throughout my house. It consists of two separate applications. One is a media manager and the other is the "player". Players can run on all different platforms and access the media being served up from the manager.
I currently run the players on a minimum of 6 different devices. Using a simple player like you have referenced (no matter how good they may be) is not an option for me.
I either need to downgrade to HC or wait (and hope) that the official ICS release will fix this issue. Or use another tablet.
For those interested see this LINK. Unfortunately the Android App is not free but the local media manager and players for Linux, MAC and windows are free.
Hi, did you manage to make things work with Plex?
I can not even log in the frakking server...lol
At first I thought Firewall was playing around after an update, but even diable was not able to log.
Any ideas? It is a really lovely app that one.
Do you know any other with similar results?
Tks brother!
It works fine on Cyanogen. Once I went to that ROM all issues disappeared.
Yes

Yes. I was having the same error as you and many other ICS users. There was an update to the server this week, and now it works. I am on stock 4.03.
So, I'm planning on turning my Dinc into a music player for my best friend, whose old Zune is dying a slow death. So, I'm looking for suggestions on the best widgets and apps to load to give her easy access to play lists and players with a minimum of fuss. Widgets and apps should preferably be compatible with windows media player, as that's what she uses the most.
at the moment I intend to send it out with Tiny's CM10 on it, but any music-centered rom suggestions are also welcome, but mainly looking at the widgets and apps for media.
i've just switched from i9023 to i9250. the crappy sound was a great disappointment but i've found some patched kernel with sound improvements, so it's acceptable now. it's still far from a voodoo'd crespo, but it's OK now.
the only problem i cannot tackle with is the inconsistency of flac playback. some albums encoded in flac play fine but some others are not even recognised by the GPM. so as to track down the problem, i searched for two albums i encoded with the same flac lib with the same encoder setting, exactly. But not; one is playing fine but the other is being constantly refused. as both albums play perfect on crespo, i must have concluded that it's something very specific to maguro.
both phones have the same player (4.4.811H), auto-updated from play store. on crespo i have 4.1.2 stock, on maguro it's just upgraded to 4.2.1 stock ota.
any help would be greatly appreciated
thx !
There's a few commits laying around in aosp/master about FLAC.
Try cyanogenmod.
Sent from my i9250
the stock Google Play music player is a mess. So many lags in the UI, aniamtions are slow, the transitions are laggy and painful. The whole app is messy as **** and should be recoded from the ground and put on a new UI.

thx, but i don't think to install another rom just because of this issue. i've tried aosp in the meantime, but besides the flac problem i've got gallery desynched; one by one it crapped all the apps synched with it (camera, talk, g+, ...) so i wont change to have more problem than i have now
would you, please, direct/link me to those sparse comments. i've made several hours search, but i haven't found anything about to this issue.

i don't really mind how a music player looks like as i use it for listening to music. usually it's run in the background, so i don't really care about such issues. anyway, i tried several other players but the problem is persistent, so, again, it must be an inherent problem of maguro and not specific to GPM. again, exactly the same player plays fine the albums on crespo being not even recognised on maguro.
I'm sorry if this is not the right thread to post it(I've searched extensively in this thread but to no avail), but I have 2 main issues with the KitKat ROM for my GNex.
FIrst of all is the issue regarding locking your screen when playing music. When I'm playing music and locking the screen, the phone will suddenly stop the music suddenly and then resumes. This gets quite irritating but I don't know if this is normal KitKat behaviour.
Secondly is that 720p playback with MX is very laggy. In my experience with stock, I've seen better peformance out of the player, and I'm kinda weirded out by this.
I'm using the stock kernel, and what not. The only app that I use that effects many apps is Greenify(Oh, and I don't greenify the music app).
Even I did a clean flash the problem persists.

I know that MX player was having issues with early builds of CM11 but don't know the particulars for Playfulgod's rom. I would try and flash another CM11 based rom and see if you have those same issues, if not you can boil it down to that particular build.
Hi everyone. I have had an issue with specific Roms, mainly sense based but some cm /soap based as well. When playing any stored music ie. Music player or any player from the market, and turning the screen off, the music literally slows down about 30% and gets distorted. It does not occur when streaming music at all ie. Pandora, FM radio or google music. Seems to react similarly whether the file is on internal or external storage. Happens with all headphones and my headphones work normally on other devices, to rule out the obvious. I am currently running sd sense 7. Any ideas?

Did you ever flash hk mod?
Last year I did with a different rom. I believe it was one of vipers Roms. But not on my current rom no.

I think that you currently have BoomSound audio files in the rom and the HK adsp installed... I suggest you to reflash the stock adsp or flash the HK mod again... :good:
Edit: as you run sense 7 rom i suggest you to flash stock adsp instead of the mod because it might be incompatibile...
After trying a bunch of different music players, I found that PowerAmp works. Seems odd that even the majority of the apps on the market have the same problem. This still just seems like a bandaid to the problem and I would like to figure out why I am not able to use the HTC player.

You answered yourself you flashed hk mod and then another rom, so probably you have hk adsp and BoomSound files... You need to change your adsp back to stock or flash again the mod to get hk files... As you are on sense 7, i suggest you the first choice just to avoid incompatibilities...
Flashing hk-bs-switcher-4.3 and choosing bs stock seems to have fixed the issue. Thanks
