My tablet (sgh-i467) has been experiencing performance issues with Hulu and Hulu only. My father has the same exact tablet and when we play the same video on Hulu, his is smooth and mine is choppy. Every other video playing app, Crunchyroll, Youtube, streaming off of the network, works flawlessly. Troubleshooting so far has not gone very well. I went as far as to perform a factory reset with no positive results what so ever. I am wondering if someone could help me troubleshoot the problem.

Well it looks like his is still on JB and yours updated to KK.
KK is terrible, and LP is gonna be worse... There is nothing you can do to revert back to JB. You can ask to swap tablets after backing up everything.
I have been testing with my cheapo Ebay tablet on KK. Found that Music likes Ondemand, system and normal apps like Pegasus. Some video apps are a mixed bunch, so one way or another will find a good playback. Hulu and Xfinity TV go like Performance with no overlays.
It is not the best, but better than stock kernal settings.
I am finding you can mess with Build.prop, WFDconfig, and capability files, to get better playback as well. Seems like both JB and KK like similar mods with wfd and streaming settings.
Not everything plays well with KK, so take small steps to find out what helps and what does not.
Right now I am playing around with 5000000 on the upper encoding for wfd. Also keeping profiles no higher than 1280x720 ... as many S4 and S5 files floating around push 1920x1080 because of their higher pixel rate. I find audio is safe with higher bit rates as well. Moving from 128000 to 192000 keeps things smooth and a wee higher detail.
Hulu playback stutters, stalls

I also have unwatchable Hulu since updating to KitKat. Thought I could change from Dalvik to Art and/or disable hardware video but I can find neither in Settings.

Hi,
Since upgrading via OTA to 4.0.4, I have noticed that bluetooth audio is terribly delayed - by up to second or so. This makes watching films over bluetooth very offputting to say the least, and the same for playing games.
This does appear to be new to 4.0.4 - since updating I hadn't used my headset for a bit, so have only just noticed it, but I have tested with a game I used extensively (Dead Space) that pre-update was fine, and now appears to suffer considerable delay. I have tested via two different bluetooth audio systems too.
I have not yet tried a factory reset - is this the next step, or have others noticed the issue despite this? Has anyone else noticed this issue at all?
As a follow up to this, a factory reset hasn't helped.
Curiously, youtube vids seem ok, but nothing else...
It depends I have to laptops when I connect to one there seems to be a delay. On the other one the delay is barely noticeable.. it depends really
Sent from my Samsung GNexus <3
Ok, just to add to the confusion, YouTube vids are fine, but games/DVD rips aren't.
I'm now wondering if this is a load-related issue?
Ok, still more information;
Whan playing a video using MXPlayer, if I use H/W decode, everything is fine. As soon as I switch to S/W decode I get the delay.
I have also tested in GTA3, Dead Space and SpeedX 3D, all of which worked fine prior to 4.0.4, and all of which now have an audio lag.
This is almost certainly an issue with 4.0.4 as a friend has just upgraded his Xoom to 4.0.4 and now has the exact same behaviour I do.
As such, I can't imagine this will get a quick fix, but I do want to raise awareness of the issue.
Same here
Does sound like a 4.0 problem.
I have been getting the same thing since upgrading my Sony Tablet.
Hi all,
I've just recently purchase a Surface RT, am still getting use to Win RT environment.
There is a slight issue, is there anyway to fix the audio lag issue?
I've tried playing 1080p videos, 720p videos (WMV, MKV, MP4) without any lag using mobile.HD. But when I switched on the subs, the audio lags behind for 5, 6 seconds. I've used the performance tips given by the Internet (disable windefender, disable animations, and stuff), nothing seems to be working.
Anyone has the same problem? Or ways to solve it?
Sounds like an app problem more than anything else. I've never tried, so I can't suggest anything better, but it's been a common discussion thread here.
I've gone through any available thread on the internet with regards to the issue, seems that no one has replied to this particular issue. I've tried many players, none of them works without the audio lag. Guess will have to wait till VLC is released.
On the plus side, that *is* coming, sometime... so there will be that, at least.
Does anyone else have the same problem with Instagram? Every video is choppy and the audio is out of sync, no matter how many programs I'm running. My galaxy s3 didn't have trouble with videos, why does this Intel Atom 2.3ghz?
I have this problem too..And same in snapchat..In google chrome.. Everywhere..
Two steps forward, one step back I guess.
For anyone with the same problem (which I assume is everyone judging from the ASUS forums), installing the system update from settings will sort of solve the issue. It kinda fixes playing videos in a web browser and Instagram videos play well the first time through. When the Instagram video repeats, only the audio will play and no video will be shown. Video playback on a web browser is laggy but at least its in sync.
These are really inexcusable issues for the phone, and only further shows how much of a budget chinaphone it is. I would have returned it and gotten a one plus one if neweggs return policy were better.
My AFTV2 will not playback video from any source without the playback pausing/stopping for about 1-2 seconds all through the movie. No matter what the source whether streaming from my NAS or streaming from an app, any app. I play the same video back on my AFTV1 and it plays fine. I can't even play 720 video back clean let alone 1080p. I am rooted on 5.0.4 I was thinking of unrooting and going back to 5.0.3 but I would rather not have to do that. Anyone else having issues with video playback on AFTV2? or can anyone suggest what I can try to correct it. I have already tried playing back video using MX Player and VLC. I thought VLC might work because its the one from Amazon Play Store but the result is the same. It's really driving me crazy because it happens all the time. The reason I got the AFTV2 was because I thought I would get cleaner playback of video based on the new hardware, but my AFTV1 which is also rooted blows it out of the water. The Fire TV 2 is connected to a powerline adapter, but I tested it connected directly to my router and the result was the same. Even on the powerline adapter my speed test is about 19-24 mbps which should be fast enough to playback video smoothly. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

So.....no one else has problems with video playback on the AFTV2? If not then maybe it's my particular box that has a problem...

I just stream using Kodi & some addon sources you will get buffering problems but to be honest it's fine when you get a nice stream.

thanks for the reply. Yes I use Kodi as well, and you're right you have to have a good stream first. But even when I stream movies from my NAS in Kodi, or select a stream from an addon that's say MQ it still stutters throughout the movie. When I play the same movie, same stream, from my AFTV1 it plays perfectly fine. I know I have a fast enough internet connection. It just seems strange to me that the AFTV2 with the more powerful hardware can't come close to the AFTV1 when it comes to video playback. Even Netflix stutters.
Hello,
I have tried several streaming sites and the video stutters on most of them. DC universe, sling, fubo all stutter but the audio is good.
YouTube, twitch and Disney+ all work fine.
Also, the video only seems to stutter on my phone and not if I cast to Chromecast.
Does anyone know a fix for this?
I am on Android 9.0 on a custom room. It worked good on the room I had previous, but I had to change for other reasons, I haven't changed anything, unsure of what it could be.
