streaming videos very sluggish - Shift General

Hey there
I noticed that when I play stream videos over the net, that it is very sluggish, where the video plays with hundreds of interuptions, even if I wait for the videa to load completely before I play it
I am running windows vista without sp1, do you think that if I update to sp1 it will solve the problem.
While on the contrary if I play a regular downloaded xvid movie using vlc it works fine.
Please help

cannot play www.g4tv.com podcasts(mp4) smoothly in WMP or coreplayer

Downloaded a couple of podcasts off www.G4TV.com seems to be all mp4 files. try opening it with Windows media player 10, doesn't work. Then use the latest core player, the audio works but the video is extremely slow and choppy.
Can anyone get this to work? I thought the MP4s were only 640x480.

HTC Wizard not playing videos properly

Hi,
I recently got an HTC Wizard and I like the PDA Phone very much. However I am having problems with video playback. None of the video files I have play very well on the Wizard. I get very jumpy video and choppy sound. I have tried playing WMV and Divix files and they will not play on either TCPMP WM Player. I tried closing all running programs but the videos still do not play well. I thought it might be a slow SD card but the videos play perfectly on my Dell Axim X50V. Is there a better Media player I could try? Or maybe updated codecs?
Thanks

ER, simple tip:
Try resampling the videos to 240x320. Resizing the videos(any one of them, shrinking) takes a lot of oomph, which the Wizard does not have.
Tip:
1.Use PocketDivXEncoder. Simple tool. You can't mess up with this.
2.Overclock to ~240MHz
3. The Dell has a FASTER processor, so there might be some hiccups on the Wizard.

Youtube

i up grade my cell to windows 6.1
but now my youtube play does not run. just keeps load and never starts.
please help
Youtube play works poorly anyways. I reccomend FlashVideoBundle + Coreplayer. It plays true H264 streams instead of FLV files, the quality is WAY better.

CorePlayer youtube "Unknown file format"

Anyone else try the little youtube button in coreplayer? Any video I open says "Unknown file format." Why do they have a youtube player if it cannot play youtube videos?
I'm still looking for the best way to watch youtube videos.
Thanks!
But it can play youtube videos, at least on my phone.
Are you playing them through coreplayer itself? When I browse youtube through opera it opens the videos through the streaming video player, but not coreplayer.
I believe that some of the YouTube formats have stopped working in CorePlayer as YouTube have played about at their end.
Had heard that a fix had be built for UIQ, but haven't got around to looking to see if a new version is out for WinMo

Yes. I haven't watched that many videos (it's not a regular thing for me) but the few I've watched were all played by the coreplayer itself.
OT:
I do have some problems with podcasts. does anybody know of any good podcast client for WM.
Thanks, well I just bought it recently so will have to wait for an update I guess. Also, does anyone else experience freezes in coreplay when changing videos? It doesn't happen everytime for me, but sometimes it freezes and I have to do a reset.

720p mkv hi10p playback with subtitles

Hi all,
I'm looking to play 720p mkv hi10p videos with embedded subtitles on my Nexus 7. I'll probably want to be doing this by streaming it off a computer or accessing a Samba share.
Does anyone know if this is possible?. Trying to toss up my purchase with the knowledge that its easy / do-able to watch tv shows, movies and things like anime.
Cheers!
I'm just downloading vPlayer to see how it works with my Serviio server. I'll let you know how it goes.
the latest beta VLC player worked for me, was having abit hit or miss with mxvideo player but VLC just played everything i threw at it off my western digital tv live hub.
I tested a 720p hi10p video yesterday using MX Player Pro, no streaming over air.
A couple of frame drops, cannot handle panning scenes very well.
Styled subtitles however look ace, I haven't bothered to check out advanced typesetting though.
Have been exploring the ability on my phone with ES explorer and different media players. 8 bit 720p mkvs work perfectly. 10 bit just falls about for me though on a GNEX with just about every player. Obviously there is a difference in processing power though.
Keen to know if anyone gets it working / how (even if its a solution like PLEX).
