cpu question - Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have still been having issues with some of the playback thru my windows media center PVR and the 1080 mpeg 2. I still am getting the scrambled picture and then freezing. I have noticed that this does not occur if I have hardware accelleration turned off. I get a pretty darn good pic with just the software decoding, so I think I will leave it that way unless I want to watch a 1080P movie or something.
while trying to figure this problem out with playing the mpeg2 1080 live tv video I was researching with the "o" button. The one live tv channel that I have the most problems with is playing at 60fps while the other channels are playing at 25 to 30 fps. I think this might be the problem.
I also noticed that only two of the cpu are in use during video playback, cpu0 and cpu1. The other two are at 0%. This is the case with hardware accelleration off or on. Is this normal? Am I having hardware issues with my device. If anyone has some answers, I am much appreciated!

[Q] Samsung HD TV Adapater problems

I just got my samsung hd tv adapter. Have some question for those who have it too
1) my screen top and bottom is a bit cut off, how to solve?
2) When i open mkv file using hardware decoder, I can see the subtitles on my phone but can't see the subtitles on tv, but when i change to software decoder i can see both subtitles on tv and phone. How to make subtitles visible on tv using hardware decoder?
Same problem. For me never solved problem..
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
are U using the stock player from samsung??
'cause what you're saying only happens when I use other players, like Mx...
I have problem with stock player, my stock player cant display the subtitles of mkv file so I used mx video player with soft decoding. This causes some lag once in a while (not really noticeable) when playing 720p h264 movie.
But it's not an issue. After trying the mhl adapter for another day, I have two more bigger issue :
1) The connection keep get cutting of, keep on and off every few minutes. I thought it's loose cable connection so I place the phone on the table without touching it but the connection still go off and on for about 2 secs every now and then. Both the samsung adapter and hdmi cable is newly brought so it shouldn't be cable issue.
2) My phone get really hot when playing movie and I have to pause it incase of overheating. The temperature go as high as 56 degree after playing around 1hr of movie.
Any solution for this? For the first problem, just read another thread saying going to airplane mode solve the connection problem, haven't try yet though. But is there any other solution other than that? Using stock rom with siyah kernel.

hm, strange, mine does the subtitle problem with mx player, not with stock!!
about the loose connection, at least with mine, was the usb connection not fine
the overheat maybe a bug with siyah kernel, i think, cause mine gets a lit bit hotter than normal, but nothing to worry about
sorry couldn't help

Juddery ? I'm assuming you mean jittery or stuttering.

i had some lag with 720P and had to reboot the phone it worked good fore a few mins then did it again. i havent tried 1080p but i assume it would do the same since its even more higher def.
ZERO stuttering or pausing on the current CyanogenMod 10.1 build. Just tested it with YouTube.
Can not comment on stock software as I never tried it.

Streaming video issue

Hello. So when watching live streams through an app called Twitch, I encounter massive screen tearing. If I set the video quality to any quality other than auto, I get what looks like a vertical sync bug, where the video doesn't line up with itself properly. I attached a screenshot for clarity. Even when I keep the video quality set to auto, the video will freak out and glitch every 30 seconds or so. I can always hear the audio smoothly, and the frames are still being updated within the fragmented video pieces I receive. Note that streaming video on any other app (Opera, YouTube) works perfectly fine, regardless of what resolution I set the videos to. I am running the final Beanstalk KitKat 4.4.4 release, and haven't had problems with Twitch videos on Lollipop, but Lollipop's instability encouraged me to roll back to KK. I've tried forcing GPU acceleration and disabling HW overlays to no avail. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

4K 10bit video PC playback

Hi, I have a problem with opening on PC video recorded with G7 - 4K with HDR10 turned on. VLC stucks after first second, MPC-HC play video slowly but without colours (RAW). Maybe anyone had the same problem? Thanks

No problems with playback here using VLC Media Player. Did notice a definite spike in GPU (decode) activity when watching the video so perhaps it's the computer you're playing it back on? Perhaps the hardware might not be up to the task.

Question 4k 60fps videos shot on Oneplus can't be played.

Playing back videos shot on old phone results in stutter, tried VLC and native player. Even several low end phones can playback this fine. What might be the problem?
