Hi
I am having issues on all CM based ROMs
I have a Canadian Variant of this phone
My camera recording is not working correctly.
Recorded video looks interlaced. Like lines of pixels don't line up when things move if played back on the phone or on VLC player. On Windows media player video playback is choppy like frames are missing.
When sent through any sharing program (Watsapp, Facebook etc) recipient only sees black screen with sound.
When i upload video to Google back up or YouTube video playback is normal but quality seams diminished.
On TW based ROMs i don't have this issue.
Reading through the forums i found other people complaining about this but have failed to find a solution.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Its been bug that has been there for over a year, so dont get your hopes up.
Which roms have you tried that worked? Neither of the ones I have tested works.

So i've searched the forum and found very little answers about this.
I've installed CM7 and MIUI (current) ROMS, both times they work fine but i get lousy video playback and compatibility compared with the 2.2 Froyo stock ROM
Getting "this video could not be played" on about 5 different video players.
I've wiped cache, killed apps to free up memory, but video all videos (esp 720p) is choppy and laggy as hell.
Anyone got anything to say about this?
I can't get what is wrong with video recording on subj.
When I record 3gp video I can't play it later. Neither built-in gallery nor 3rdparty desktop and mobile players (vplayer, vlc) can play it... What is wrong?
I've switched to this rom from another to get working video and so disappointed now =(

according to some of the comments on that roms thread it looks like a common/known problem.
Also none of the ICS/JB roms that i have tried had decent video recording, so dont expect too much unless you are willing to go back to gingerbread.
well, most comments is about "choppy" video, but that is not a description of my problem... =( Nobody wrote he can't play recordered video (Or I did not find any reports)
Does it work in the rom from you signature?

The comments on choppy video recording usually go hand in hand with playback.
If its recording badly, then its very likely that it wontplay well either.
The ROM in my sig records and plays it back but its choppy and sometimes gets pixelated, exactly how its been in every jb/ics ROM I've tried so far.
Hey guys,
Forgive my ignorance, as I have searched high and low for any information on this, but I was running TazzSense 3.6 for quite a while with no major issues other than some lag that may have been more due to the apps I had installed, and on that ROM the video playback, including youtube in HQ, was clear and great. I tend to watch a lot of youtube videos. Yesterday, because I wanted to try it out, I flashed the latest Incredibly Paranoid after doing the super duper wipe and everything seems to be working great and I love the interface.
However videos on youtube seem pixelated and grainy even on HQ, compared to the old ROM. This seems to be isolated to Youtube or perhaps flash videos because other videos seem to be fine, but playing youtube videos through the app or a browser looks a bit off. I tried turning HQ off (looks worse obviously) and back on again. I also tried messing with all the combinations of Paranoid settings, which changed the look of the UI but not the video playback. I seem to notice a few rows of black pixels to the top and bottom of the video; it's my understanding that these videos are 480p in HQ, so in my mind should fill the screen, could something be scaling vertically slightly and causing the degradation in quality? Are there any other things I could check on? Any input greatly appreciated; if this belongs somewhere else please forgive me.
Yeah that's a bug in older job kernel. Wait for either new cm10.1 or pa jb4.2 or flash evervolv with new 3.0 kernel.

I just started using a gopro, and thought my issues were with its video recording, but it looks like everything that's 1080p in kitkat no longer plays back smoothly, but is a bit jerky, and it looks like there is a framerate issue.
(This is with the default player, or MX)
I don't see any mention of a fix for this anywhere, and I'd think it would be considered a major kitkat feature bug.
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.
