I just wondered, I've read quite a lot the last few days that have said the BEEBplayer is now not working or working badly due to being primarily blocked. I wondered, is this true?

Seems to be working for me. I've not used it much so i won't be able to say if it's working badly or just normal.
Mine is still working fine on T-Mobile.

Just got my Desire on T-Mo this afternoon and have just watched the Australian F1 GP on it as I missed it last week. Worked for me on both Wi-Fi & 3G / HSDPA

weird. I tried it on wi-fi and it was really laggy
It works for me ..... some videos can be laggy and the quality is poor sometimes.
Does anyone have the same thing?
im getting really bad quality on mine running on the orange 3g network and over wifi and its really laggy
i also think the quality of the beeb app is bad and i'm on t-mobile, the real iplayer played flawless on my old n95 with great picture quality, hope when the iplayer comes to android its better than this app, youtube seems bad too on my desire so i think it may well be just the desire or andriod is just terrible with video.

Video quality is excellent on the desire more to do with your data connection I expect
there is nothing wrong with my data connection, and in my opinion the play back of youtube compaired to my nokia and iphone is terrible, as is the beeb app on android compaired to my iplayer on my nokia.
Frame rate is fine, resolution is a bit poor but it definitely isn't laggy for me.
Quality is bad on wifi, and really bad on 3G. I get sync issues on the wifi too - with the audio up to a second behind the picture. I'm hoping this is down to poor codec optimisation rather than a lack of power in the Desire.
I have not been able to get live radio to work. Is anyone else having the same problem?
EDIT:
Can't get the radio working either now, it was working for me the other day.
Watching DR Who on Beeb Player now, all ok on my T-Mob Desire via WI-FI
has anyone on orange got this working yet?

Live radio stopped a while back due to the BBC making changes. However it looks like the dev fixed this yesterday as there is an update available.
What is the audio quality like for every one?
My audio seems very low...
That's great. Just tried Radio 4 and the quality and volume is excellent both on WiFi and using 3g.

Hi guys,
Got a HD2 at the moment, and the youtube app doesn't run too smooth, and video playback suffers from audio lag. Anyone tried the video playback on the N1 yet, and able to comment on quality..
Cheers
Darrin
I have HD2 and N1, i've not notice any audio lag on my HD2. I haven't tested N1 youtube app but i think it has more option then the one on HD2 like i can login to my youtube account and pull all the bookmarked videos.
thanks for that, strange how i seem to be having audio lag, tried 3 hd2's, and all the same, using wifi.
how do you rate the N1 against the hd2?
cheers
hmm i can't really tell much about N1 yet, as i didn't get much time to play around. I only had it yeasterday.
Any way try chosing high quality settings from youtube app on HD2.

Any video really, have the issue with them all, the audio lags around 1/2 second behind the video, even when the video is copied to sd and played....
Would be interested to see if the N1 youtube app is better then the hd2, i expect it will be.....

Been on charge since my last post - youtube is now working perfectly on wifi and 3g in low quality - dont have enough patience to check vids in high quality as signal is too weak where i am.
Great quality no lag etc etc.
Also, if anyone's interested: Had a few signal problems (Vodafone) - re-inserted sim, rebooted and all is well in nexus world.
Worked like a champ on 2G where I am at! Best youtube app on any device I have ever tried, IMHO. Quick to load, even on 2G, great buffering, and so forth.
Hows the video quality? On youtube for example? Is there a differnce in quality in a rooted vs unrooted? Thanks!
how would giving you access to root directories effect the way the phone works? root simply gives the phone access to things it normally wouldn't so it does nothing to your phone the only way for something to happen to your phone is if you do something to it. so to answer your question no
Well, I am new to all of this. Also I have read where people have said that rooting the phone made it run faster. So I wondered if running faster had any effect on vid quality.
And you never answered my original question... How is the video quality?
well thats in their head lol but you can make your phone run faster by deleting the stock apps but of course you need root for that... actually i did answer your question i said there is no difference it was the little last bit on my first post
Right, you said there was no differnce in rooted vs unrooted. How is the video quality overall? My bud at work has an iphone 3g and without the my 3g app the quality is pretty bad when hes not on wifi. Was curious how smooth the vids were. Thanks for taking the time to reply.

you asked if there was a difference in video quality from a non rooted phone vs a rooted phone and there is no difference but as for having wifi on or off the quality is the same just might take longer to load
Actually on wifi the phone defaults the youtube app to high quality video mode, but on 3g you can simply hit the menu button the load the video in high quality.
LOL!!! So is the quality good, bad?? I do appreciate your info, bro. That sticky you reccomended had some great info!

of course it had great info its a sticky lol and i would say this phone has great video quality. im mean come on it comes with avatar on it lol if it plays it flawlessly it can play anything and so far i havent had any bad quality playing videos unless it was just the actual video that was bad
This phone has quite possibly the best screen out there, so yes the quality is good but it also depends on the video its self of course.
Thank you skater!!!! it only took 12 posts, but finally I got my answer!!!!
Im probably looking to get a vibrant in the next week or two. Im just doing a little research first.

After updating my HTC Desire with the GB, Today i received a Skype update and I can make video calls using the back camera, tried several calls and it works well in Wlan.

But you would have to keep flipping your phone over to see the other person which kind of defeats the object of video calls. I'm surprised the camera works because the phone models Skype have introduced the video calling for are having problems and the desire wasn't included in the roll-out because of the fact it doesn't have front-facing camera.
would you be kind enough to post the apk?
thanks

Desire was rolled out in the official Skype release today. Screenshot from the market attached.
I'm still on your train of thought though, pretty pointless having a Skype video conversation when you have to stand in front of a mirror to do it.

Hmmm, another pointless addition to Skype. I use Skype daily and stick to an older version (1.0.0.983) because it's the most stable and the UI is the most user friendly. It was the last version released prior to the video calling releases but it's still not perfect. Since Microsoft took over Skype they appear to be doing some ridiculous things...like adding video calling to phones that don't have front facing cameras
the update doesn't have video for me...running miui latest version which is GB
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
I got a Desire with Cyanogenmod 7.1 (Gingerbread). When i start the video I got a blank (black) screen on my side and on my caller's side as well (at least he can see his camera, the phone doesn't show even that)... :/
Sometimes I got also a FClose and one time my phone self rebooted...
doesn't work for me neither. Can't find the option to enable it.

I enjoy having the option of video calling different people different uses I guess... maybe you are on vacation and want to show someone the view from your hotel room.
Skype still feels heavy though and I keep turning it off when I'm not using it. Hopefully after a while it will be as light as google talk and viber, and it can be kept up and running all the time
...or even better - hopefully google talk will be good enough to replace Skype. hope google releases google voice for the rest of us not-Americans soon too...
the app "stop Skype" broke with the latest update btw. too bad, was great easy way to exit Skype.

hi wonder if anyone used video on skype with ther mobile network(not wifi) wondered if you have good quality tmobile uk doesnt seem to work
tested and works fine on my Desire. Rooted with cm7 . i enjoy this option, even without a front facing camera, because i only used videocalls for broadcasting "what i see" to other connected collegues.
works like a charm
i don't have video calling with the new Skype and when i try phone call the signal is very bad

I tried to search but found no recent threads on this.
Has anyone else found that Netflix video and audio go out of sync pretty regularly??? I find that the video stutters for a second, and the audio is then out of sync. The video speeds up and catches up with the audio a short time later, then shortly later the problem happens again.
I have netflix on my tablet o.o and it works great. No out of sync audio with video or any problems

Odd.... Are you using a ROM or anything??? I am totally stock (not even rooted yet).
I've read about it on another site but not experienced it myself. Are you on the most up to date version of Netflix?

What is your download speed? Your internet speeds could be too slow.
Sent from my GT-P7510 using XDA Premium App
I'm pretty sure its gotta be your internet speeds bro.
I meant to add in my original post that it definitely wasn't my bandwidth.
Any other ideas on a stock 10.1???
The last version of Netflix was horrible like that for me, but the current is perfect. You probably already did this, but uninstall and re-install? Hope it works for you.
The current version of Netflix works great for me. I'm on Task's latest rom.

I am using Overcome's ROM at the moment.
I posted earlier that I had not had the same problem but last night I was watching Top Gear on Netflix and experienced some pretty bad stuttering, but when I played the same show today it was fine.
Sometimes when I start Netflix its out of sync and/or stuttery. Usually I just reboot the tab and then it works fine.
I have the same issue.. My audio/video will get out of sync. I have a T-Mobile galaxy tab 10.1 with stock everything without a root.
I was having this same issue wile watching some videos with my kids today. I usualy fixed its self but it was very annoying. I was on stock 3.2 at the time, latest version of netflix and my intenet is prety darn fast.
I'm running Task's 7.0 rom at the moment. I'll have to test and see if it makes a difference.
First impression is that call quality absolutely sucks! I do have data connectivity while on a call and that is certainly a plus. But call quality (clarity) is nowhere near what it was before. Maybe I'm just missing a setting, or maybe it's because this is first gen VoLTE...
Thoughts?

Same here I tried it several times on the S5 I had and didn't like it at all. It sounds like the other person is talking in a tunnel or something. My wife told me to take it off her phone too. I'm not bothering with this update, the OTA is blocked on my phone. When a worthwhile update comes out I'll unblock it but until then my phone runs fine with no update nags.

On the bright side, even if you do take the update, it can be turned off in Advanced Calling settings.

That is because of HD calling.
Same thing with compatible voip networks. They are crystal, moreso than landlines. We provide VoIP to clients and when we call them it makes an HD connection.
I haven' tbeen in a great area yet to see how this performs optimally, but I just had a call drop in a bad area, so I had to turn Advanced Voice off in order to keep the call from dropping.

If you are in a 3g area, 1x works again. Fringe areas are bad.
Only a couple of calls so far, but one I was told I sounded choppy. This is standing in a sweet spot at work where I've rarely had trouble. Will keep testing.
Funny I haven't had any issues and my wife has one and she sounds fine on my end as well.
I've also had some choppiness in 2 calls.
Other calls have been just fine.

If you both have it, you had HD calling.
This MASKS the quality issues.
I was in the soak, I've made over 35 calls in the last few days, only one being HD and its all fine? My office is in 4g service, but I'm always out in the middle of nowhere in 1x or 3g if I'm lucky. And everything really does seem more stable, i don't think that the audio is significantly clearer or better but I've not had any issues. I wonder why all the issues.
Wow - haven't seen you around since the incredible days!

In those cases, you are using CDMA.
Yep, I am back
Haha yea you are! Welcome back!
Understood on the cdma - the handoff is a lot cleaner and the volume seems a touch louder in calls for me. I use google hangouts ALOT while working for work, a video stream into an IDF is handy. The built in video features is worlds better than hangouts, or tango for that matter.

That though, could be there QoS optimisation for THEIR video service i guess.
