[Q] Hardware video acceleration in 4.3 - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I want someone that had purity rom(4.3) or a CM10.2(the newest nightly) to confirm that the hardware acceleration is fixed and back to track,
same as it was with 4.2.2 because i had cm10.2 a long time ago probably the 3rd nightly when it just came out and i noticed videos lag
like hell(bsplayer/mx/dice) so please someone confirm that it was fixed on purity or newest cm10.2 nightly because i don't wanna waste my
time installing them and finding out that its not fixed again then roll back to cm10.1.... its annoying as hell.
//P.S Don't confirm for videos under 4 gb, i need a 4gb+ mkv file 720/1080p because that's when you really need the acceleration.

Vanir is doing it as well (4.3).

Well, i just installed the latest Vanir nightly, then installed MX Player and the v7 NEON coded, did a h/w+ test, and it lagged
I tried the same .mkv file with the same player/settings on 4.2.2 cm10.1 and it played smoothly, I tried purity rom, same thing
Tried even cm10.2 nightlies, same thing. I guess we're doomed.

Loaded stock 4.2.1 as of right now and working flawless.

So still no ideas why HW video decoding is F*%$ed up in 4.3?

Anyone running 4.3 stock, factory image from Google, do you experience any issues with HW video decoding? I'm wondering if the issue is specific to AOSP compiled ROMs.

What is the best way to get Google's attention and help with this?

I think you can post a bug, but I can't remember where it is.

[Q] Jellybean gives me choppy playback on HD video (720p and above)

I used to be able to watch 720p video without any problem in MX Player, but after switching to Jellybean the picture is choppy. If I switch to software rendering instead of hardware it improves somewhat, but it's still choppy at least every other minute or so until it recovers. If I play it in the VLC beta I get artifacts every now and then until it works itself out.
Anyone recognize this issue and has any idea what to do about it?
Probably best to wait till we have a full version and not just a developer preview leaked version.

Well, that wasn't very constructive. I'm perfectly aware it's a leaked version, I'm just wondering if it's a known issue first of all and secondly if there's anything to do about it. If the only answer you can give is "don't use leaked/unstable roms" then you might as well not answer at all.
Not an expert at this but I think it's because the codec with MX or VLC player isn't optimized for JB yet?

any major problem using cm9 or cm10?

i am thinking of getting cm, anyone know or experienced major problem when using it? w

Not at all. why what kind of issues are you having ?
cm9 is awesome and i had no issues. Haven't tried CM10 though since I'm quite happy with the AOKP JB
I haven't been able to get streaming video apps Netflix and Plex to work. Apparently Youtube does, although I haven't tried it. This is really the only thing keeping me from running CM10 or the Jelly Bean AOKP rom as a daily driver. There are some LED issues as well, but it seems that both devs are pushing out a fix for that tomorrow.

Does Netflix not work with CM9, CM10, or both?
Bluetooth does not work on the Jelly Bean CM10 or AOKP yet.
Also, there is no option for audio out of USB when docked.
Netflix does work on my CM9 AOKP flash, but I get audio delays. Others say they don't have this problem.
Does anyone know if APT-X Bluetooth codec is going to be supported with CM10/AOKP?

youtube not loading video

I recently flashed a cm10 rom and ever since then YouTube will not play video without setting HQ on. Is this a cm10 specific bug? How can I fix this?

If its not happening on cm9 I would say its a cm10 thing... not sure but when I ran cm10 that didn't happen... that I remember anyways....

[Q] Snapchat Video Recording Failed

There has been a snapchat issue for a long time.
The rear camera gives the toast "Video Reording Failed" whenever I attempt to take a video.
The front camera records video perfectly fine though...
I tested this on Gingerbread and ICS, it works on both.
I tested on jellybean (AOSP and TW) and it doesn't work
So I thought this may be an issue for just my device.
When I got my replacement phone, I immediately installed snapchat and saw that video recording failed on my new device as well (it was running stock TW JB)
But when I downgrade to ICS and GB, it works perfectly fine....
Does anyone have a clue about wtheck is going on? Does jellybean not have a certain patch for our device?
I'm not the only one experiencing this. There's many other reviews on Google Play for this device that say the same thing.
Thanks :laugh:

Not sure if you guys have figured out the problem yet but I have. I have found an older version of snap chat that works perfectly for our t989 phones, video recording works like a charm. Download the older version of the app here http://www.mediafire.com/?7py7jfbf809avey

I read somewhere that was a JB problem and the only way to solve this was to get back on ICS or put a older version of Snapchat! Your best bet is probably @iTz KeeFy link

Yea I'm currently running Kit Kat and the video recording still doesn't work for me, having to use the older version.

Ever since one of the Snapchat updates I have been unable to use the rear camera for video as well, since flashing CM 11 the front camera will record but only after a 10 second pause!
Thanks!
Downloading the older version of snapchat worked flawlessly. I can finally record videos!
Can someone on ICS or gingerbread give me a logcat of them recording rear camera video on Snapchat?
i found a fix and it works for me with liquid smooth rom. u just have to change the video camera quality from 720p to 480p by going to camera, video , video settings...

1080p Playback on Beanstalk 4.4.278

My Acro S is running Beanstalk 4.4.278. Great rom so far but 1080p playback (specifically on MX Player) does not work. Freezes and reboots my phone when I try. 1080p recording with latest Google Camera works like a charm but its frustrating I can't view any of them. I haven't tried playback on any other video players though. I removed the video player that came with KitKat or the rom btw so I can't try that too.
Any help or advice?

Just tried it (since I had never tried it before you mentioned it) and it works fine. The video is a little juttery, but I can live with that.
Running BeanStalk v4.4.285, on the same phone.. Kernel is 3.4.0-Evovle-v1.11+ [email protected]
I think you might want to upgrade to the latest version - that might fix it.

Thanks for answering
Any notable bugs on 4.4.285? I might upgrade if that will fix the playback problem and if there aren't any annoying bugs..

There are two that are a bit annoying (again, not everyone has these though, so you might get lucky).
1. Sometimes when a call comes in, the screen will either stay blank and take a while to light up (by which time the caller has hang up)
2. Sometimes streaming a video online (with any player, not just MX) will crash and force the device to reboot when you try to exit watching the video.
These are the two major issues that I find on my phone. Never the less, I still prefer this version to stock, so I have been using it for more than a month now and I am very happy.
