[Q] KitKat ROM and streaming. - Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I like the KitKat Roms and have tried most of them, but haven't been able to stream live video with any so far. The question is does anyone have 4.4.4 ROM flashed and able to stream video with BBC iPlayer and Netflix?

[Q] Some streaming videos, shows just "audio", no video

Has anyone worked out a workaround for this bug that seems to effect New Sense ROMS? (or know of a New Sense ROM that doesn't have the bug?).
I only seem to be effected with VLC S&C.. but web-based streaming seems to work okay.

[Q] No online video streaming on Cyanogenmod7 for HTC Wildfire.

Im having a problem with watching any video content on the web after moving from stock 2.2 to Cyanogenmod 7.0.3 and 7.1.0 RC1.
This is not a problem of flash video as the videos I am trying to watch do not require Abobe flash player. For example the website I would most want to use is m.tvcatchup.com (the non-flash version of tvcatchup.com).
So say I am trying to view m.tvcatchup on the stock browser, login no problem, select channel no problem, select quality (which starts the stream) problem. After choosing the quality I am sent to web page not available. Now using the dolphin HD I get to the same point but after choosing quality I get this message from the browser "No application can preform this action"rather than being sent to web page not available.
Now that would suggest that the video player coming with CM7 cannot play video from outside the app eg. fro the web. Any replacement apps that defiantly can play video content from the web?
Just to confirm i could do this on HTC Sense on 2.2 the problem arose as soon as i moved to cm 7.0.3 and the problem is still there after moving to cm 7.1.0 RC1.
*RESOLVED* As presumed the stock video player seems not to support streaming, after tryng a few video apps i found many that didn't hep but eventually found that "mVideoPlayer" was my saviour.

CustomRom video playback is choppy

Hi guys,
I just installed CarbonRom on my note 2. The ROM works flawlessly but I can't get video playback to run smoothly as it did on the stock video player. Have tried with Player and Dice player. Anything else I should try?

[Q] Using Chromecast - video player?

Hi,
I'm considering buying Chromecast to reproduce (i.e., Stream) 720p movies into my TV (I expect it to work using the 5.0.2 V500 rom out there - please correct me if I won't be able to do it for some reason) Two questions
1. Does anyone can recommend a good video player (preferably free) with Chromecast support, where I can sync subtitles and change its size? I usually use MX Player but this one is still not supported.
2. How about screen mirroring - has anyone tried that with MX Player?

Bad buffering with HD videos only on 5.0+ roms

I havent been able to watch an hd video without having to constantly refresh even on 120mb wifi. It happens with every website and app 480p and below streams fine. Stock 5.0+ touchwiz plays hd with no problems but any other rom like CM, Dirty Unicorn, or touchwiz based roms wont play. Other 4.0+ roms also play hd just fine. The only thing ive found online is to change to an alternate video player in the dev settings but that didnt work. Also full mkv bluray rips play fine on my phone. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
