[lagtest] - 20 tabs of megavideo (video)

so i just did a pretty badass lagtest of the S2, pulled up 20 tabs, and played a video on all 20 tabs. not even the slightest hiccup, pinchzooming as smooth as a picture, no lag whatso ever, as smooth as going to google.com
had some stuff running in the background too, i didnt set up for this video at all.. original out of box stock rom.. totally unstoppable!
check out the video by yours truely~

Use the movie code from the YouTube URL in your browser. For example, for: http://youtube.com/watch?v=iox1hzW_ODE use: [youtube]iox1hzW_ODE[/youtube_] -- without the _
EDIT: Hahahha, funny test!

One Piece FTW!

This guy literally eats flash for its breakfast and probably some for dinner too.

I would not say that at all. It still cant play bbc HD, or bbc standard def flash without skipping.
Not impressed.

To be fair that's probably more to do with BBC's shoddy application than it is flash or the phone. How else do you explain that other flash streaming works perfectly?

Yea , and it cant run crysis :s

I know what you mean. The beeb uses some bull**** which meant that the iplayer was not available to us Linux users for a long time even though we have flash capable browsers that played everything else.

Has anyone tried watching a 1080p flash video from the browser? Was it smooth or choppy?

Smooth as butter. I watched a ton of 1080p videos off YouTube and megavideo.

loljk, idk maybe i should make a video of how many 1080p videos i can get and itll still be smooth.. wonder how many i would get oo
i wanna make a post or something where its just a whole page of embedded videos, so i dont have to do tabs, anyone got a forum they dont mind spamming with videos? ill make a cool video out of it!

That's because the ****heads at the BBC knows they'll be getting money from us every year regardless of the **** they produce. The TV licensing scheme is pure bull****, they should work for their keep like every other station.

3.1 update - flash streaming now works ok?

Hi guys
I had a xoom but sold it (long story). Seeing that 3.1 seems to fix so many of the issue i'm considering jumping back but would have a short question.
Does viewing / streaming flash movies in 720 now work or is it still extremely choppy? I do not mean in the youtube app, but in the browser from sites such as e.g. project free tv online. This (and the frequent fcs in the browser and market) was the main reason i got rid of my xoom, because i would like to use it (also) to stream tv shows while exercising on the indoor bike :-b
Otherwise great device!
Thanks, and happy xooming

forgive my naivity, but what do you mean with pirated? i did not know that projct free tv is illegal (seriously).
then let's talk about other sites, such as e.g. ted.com or the media libraries of our official tv channels (sf.tv, ard.de, 3sat.de etc.), they all were not watchable at all, so choppy :-(

I was being tounge-in-cheek as I don't care if its pirated... but most people complain about 720p videos not working when they have torrented it as most pirated TV shows and movies use high profile.
High profile playback is a hardware issue. Overall flash video is much better.

Video seems to work OK. Flash playback is pretty good. Movies on the other hand are hit or miss. 720p seems to need an overclock to play nice on my xoom.

I've yet to receive the 3.1 update, still on 3.0.1, but I can assure you 720p videos work just fine, you just have to play nice with your encodes.

I'm on 3.1, I was able to watch some 720p videos on you tube in the browser. Depending on the amount of motion or what have you they sometimes lagged out but generally it was fine. I watched the "big buck" demo and it was pretty smooth.

Htc hd2 beats Galaxy tab in browser flash player

As you see from the title it is very strange but it is the truth for me . I have both the hd2 and the galaxy tab both running flashplayer 10.3 but when playing 720p videos in the browser it is smooth on hd2 but lags allot on the galaxy tab although the tab has 4times better gpu and more ram .so
1. Is this a compitability issue with the flash player or a hardware limitation on the tab
2. For those who upgraded for the gingerbread can any one test a 720 p video on youtube and tell me if it laggs or not (but with the browser not with the youtube application )
thanks and regards.

Have you tired it in Opera Browser? I find Opera handles videos much better than the stock browser..

In new Gingerbread ROM I can play 1080p youtube videos fairly smoothly (720p plays perfectly). This was before 10.3 was released as well.
Pre gingerbread I couldn't even play 480p properly.

For me 720p and 1080p works with no lag. Check this youtube video. www.youtube.com/watch?v=96WK2LQ4ze8&feature=player_embedded make sure to select 720 or 1080. With the old 2.2 rom there was no way to watch 720p.

Two days ago with froyo and flash 10.2 i was unable to play 720p. With ando 2.3 ive tested both flash 10.2 and 10.3 they are the same regarding hd playback in the browser. One minor issue with flash 10.3 on opera i get some square boxes on the player text. I guess its opera's fault because in the stock browser its ok.

After installing gingerbread and flash 10.3 i immediately went to youtube and tested 720p and 1080p videos. Was quite surprised by the smoothness of video playback even at full screen. Samsung browser is also very very smooth now without any lags! I think its the same browser sgs 2 has.

the sgs 2 browser supports hardware acceleration , that is why flash videos works good and lag is minimized

If that's the case then samsung probably enabled hw acceleration on the tab too. I used to have awful lags and slow page rendering on my froyo tabstock browser but 2.3.3 is very different. Smoother and faster. Flash works better too. Plays 1080p and 720p vids smooth and with good framerate.

I havent had any issues with Flash videos lagging to 5fps. Usually smooth as hell. Both FroYo and Gingerbread.

yep. when i was on froyo, flash player was very annoying, very low fps and makes my browser lag.

I would not say but I think that video in particular has a couple of moments of the problems, but others have no problem in contrast to that video (I have 1080 2.3 gingerbread and everything ok, the video will sometimes maybe

hardware acceleration on flash, is there a way to enable it yet

As the title states, do we have a way to get hardware acceleration on adobe flash. I hate staring at terrible framerates on HD YouTube via their website and stuttering along on other video streaming sites. This is a dual core device, my phone shouldn't be outperforming it.

agreed, I thought 3.1 honeycomb was supposed to include support for hardware accelerated flash. Sadly any flash video 720p or higher runs real slow on 3.1. Including amazon video on demand and YouTube....

Works great on my a500 using honeycomb Youtube app - works just as well via stock browser on the web site.
What browser are you using to try to play video? Does HD video play in the native youtube app but not in your browser?

i think youtube app plays html5 ,not flash video

I was asking in the primee rom thread but everybody had ignored me, same thing in the acertabletforum.com thread, and in the facebook page to support the unlocked bootloader (where I was teased as an idiot).
Youtube has some pixellated video, both in the dedicated app and in the website.
Same issue for all other kind of streamed video.
What we have to wait? Is that a Tegra2 issue? My Galaxy S and my Iphone 4 have not this ridicolous video quality...So, who's the guilty? -.-
Google promised hardware acceleration with the 3.1 update...but it seems something gone wrong.

Maybe you're forgotting this...I was talking about every kind of streamed video, not only a flashplayer based video.
And, you'll know for sure, some Cydia tweaks and Puffin browser, let see flash video in an iOS device.

i just figured out if you use a rom with an updated kernel to 2.6.36.4....the last 4 being the key flash hardware acceleration works great. At least on 720p.

Flash performance is SO much better without Dolphin HD!

I swear.. now that I've updated to Overcome 2.0.1 and I saw the browser had the option to change the User Agent, Flash 1080P actually plays back so nicely with the stock browser.
If you try to use Dolphin it becomes a stuttering buffering mess long before the stock browser will. That's not to say depending on the video the stock browser won't do the same but certain videos play much better with the stock browser.
Try it..
Sucks because so many people use Dolphin HD. It's the stock browser for me from now on. Haven't tried Opera Mobile but 11 also brings the ability to change the user agent.

Having problems with the Led torch app it's pretty laggy

It's Vevo, right off of Youtube's servers. I can play pretty much any 1080P Youtube flash video I want. 1080P content plays smoothly. I just watched the Transformers Dark of the Moon trailer and it was completely smooth. Kelly Rowland - Motivation - smoothly... not sure what you're looking for here but my Galaxy Tab plays 1080P flash just fine with the stock browser. Dolphin HD has issues and it always shows the status/notification panel in full screen.

I tried looking at the video and it seemed more like the tab was video recording something else playing the desktop version of the video. The stock browser was denied when trying to watch the video with fourteen million views and said not allowed on mobile. I tried changing dolphin mini to desktop and watching the video but I couldn't select 1080. The popup kept disappearing when trying to go to a higher resolution.
Pull back on the camera and show it was actually a tab playing it. Show proof that it was playing at full 1080. My 2ghz dual core MacBook can't play that high without studdering and a computer CPU can run circles around the galaxy tab 7 horsepower wise. I call fake unless you can show absolute proof. Even if you gacked the 1080 video and played it in the default video player app or dice player, it would bog down because of too much processing power needed to play the video.

Are you SERIOUS right now?!
The Tab doesn't have stereo recording. My Sensation 4G does. Apple sucks the fat one at Flash playback. They don't have any HW acceleration last I checked and use crap like Intel GMA graphics. The mere fact that my Hummingbird Tab can flawlessly playback 1080P flash content and my $1800 Black Macbook can't is really just proof of how sad that is for my Macbook.
NonetheLESS.. there is a new video uploading that clearly shows that it's my Galaxy Tab playing the video and not something else.. damn. With Youtube. With me selecting 1080P. With 2 videos. I'm sure someone else will tell me it's all just an illusion.

Lower the volume because it gets pretty distorted at the :25 mark

Your lucky i guess, because i cant play anything over 480 on youtube, its choppy as on 720, and unplayable on 1080, maybe its a cm7 issue

I'm with heygrl, just watched a number of 1080p youtube clips, in the stock browser. Including the transformers 3 official trailer, on my tab and they all played flawlessly.
