[Q] Flash 10.2 performance ?

so i just watch this video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HqxKHGO9HhM
its on samsung galaxy s II ..
how about atrix ? can it handle 720p in browser ?

Every YouTube video I try defaults to 360p and when I try to bring up the resolution selection, it appears for a split second and goes away. I can't even choose 720p!

I can use 720p on my vibrant

No the Atrix istn able to play ANY 720p youtube video without lagging on the net. You have to watch in 480p.
Tegra 2 istn capable of this.

Just played a bunch of 720p videos on youtube, all ran smooth and fast.
The only video that never played flash was some espn ones

Thats impossible. Tegra 2 isnt capable of decoding HP 720p youtube videos hardwarewise & it doesnt have to.
So i dont know which phone you have right now but its not the atrix..

my atrix streams 720p perfectly... Idk what you guys are talking about. Use wifi cuz att speed sucks

That video played fine for me. Not sure what resolution it is pushing as the mobile site only says HQ.

Jeah mobile HQ youtube = 480p.
You have to play it directly in the stock browser.

Yeah those that have it "working" must be on the mobile youtube site. Embedded in the stock browser, it stutters pretty bad.

that and you get the "not optimized for mobile" message

I just tried it in the stock browser embedded. Not stuttering, its watchable, just not perfect perfect smooth.
I'm on Bell and using flash 10.1, not sure if that makes any difference.

Yea.... i dunno if the "Tegra 2 does not support it" statement is the greatest way to put it. It more than likely CAN play 720p video in the browser.... but i'm guessing it would need to be a browser with GPU-assisted rendering in order to be perfectly smooth playback.

Testing...
Ack, this is horrible! Oh wait, I thought it was stuttering. Then I saw it was just loading.
...10 minutes later (Hey AT&T, I think you forgot the 4G part on my Atrix 4G)
...
...
Now playing with video finally loaded:
A little stutter as it start playing, but smooth after the first 3 seconds....Opera 11 mobile browser.

For a while, I had both the Atrix and the Inspire. I loaded MotoBlur 1.1 on the Atrix and CM7 nightly on the Inspire (which OC'ed it to 1.5 Ghz). I tested various flash videos with both devices side by side running Dolphin Mini and Flash 10.2 over wifi.
Playback of 720p videos in the browser from sites like Devour.com were prefect and smooth on the 1.5 Ghz Inpsire. The same videos were almost unwatchable on the Atrix. I also noticed this when watching embedded video on pages filled with many clips (video section of Failblog for example). The same clip would be very choppy on the Atrix and the Inspire would play it smoothly.
I ended up keeping the Atrix because of battery issues with the Inspire (yes, I tried every trick in the book to optimize it). My time with both devices showed a fast, single core CPU results in much more "real life" performance than the dual core Atrix is capable of putting out.
Hopefully Flash and Android become better optimized for dual core processors.

Could it be froyo vs gingerbread thingi ? As i know ginger has some code optimise for flash but froyo is not.

Could also be the case. As we all know, there tends to be a pretty big difference from OS to OS..... take Eclair to Froyo for instance.

[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 _

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?

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.

@Killer Bee "Has anyone tried watching a 1080p flash video from the browser? Was it smooth or choppy?"
Very VERY SMOOTH. This was one of the first things I did when I got my first look at CPW.
I used to download 720p HD Videos from Tubemate for my SGS.

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....

So 3.1 is not the holy grail of bug fixes everyone here is making it out to be... well who'd have thought?

Youtube works fine on my device. Tested with Dark Knight trailer on official youtube app.

Youtube performance
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

We are talking about flash 720p in browser not YouTube app....

So, I'm not the only stupid guy who's having that ridicolous streaming video quality!
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.

Iphone doesn't support Flash so either you're talking about HTML5 or you've just figured it out how to watch flash movies on iGear.

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.

[Q] iphone 4 to SGN burning questions.....Thanks in Advance!

I just got my Note in the mail from Clove UK. And everything is great so far, and I dunno if this is and Android thing (This is my first Android device) or a Samsung thing. When I play videos from You Tube or videos that I encoded the blacks are heavily pixelated. (Not sure if that's a word). Am I doing something wrong? What program and/or setting is the best to get rid of that black pixel issue? The test video of the jelly fish works great. Noob questions I know! Thank in advance again for your help.

My guess is that its not directly your fault.
There are several aspects to think of here:
- It may be that artefacts (caused by video encoded in low bitrate) are more noticable on a screen like that of the galaxy note than others.
- It may be that youtube just delivers you the low quality version of the video.
- The video on youtube may be in bad quality to begin with, try other youtube videos and see if it happens only on a few ones or many.
- Note: I see now you already tried the video, so that is probably not a cause. (Your screen itself may have some flaws. Check on that for instance by using a screen test tool like "Screen Test" or playing the video already supplied with the Note (Open the standard video player app that comes with it and select "lightness & slimmess"))
When it comes to watching youtube on a mobile device I recommend (if you have a mobile data connection with enough bandwidth, such as good umts or hsdpa or Wifi) to enable high quality in the youtube app (whenever possible, use the youtube app, and do not play it in the browser).
To do this hit the options button in the youtube app, select settings and enable the first option to enable high mobile quality.
Secondly many videos will allow you to switch between lower and higher quality with the HD button on the upper left (visible at the start or when you tap the screen while palaying) - if you enable high mobile quality this should be turned on to high quality by default.
When it comes to youtube thats probably all you can do to improve quality.
When it comes to playing videos in general (excluding youtube) the standard player can manage most formats. However if you have trouble with some videos you may want to give Dice player a try!
Hope this helps!

Ok thanks, I will def try that!

I belive this is coursed by the hight res/density of the Note screen and low quality of the video in YouTube app, I think the highest quality of video in the YouTube app is only 480P.
I also noticed this problem while streaming old TV shows from PLEX to my Note, this is less noticeable with my Tab 10.1 with the same resolution but its screen is about 4 times larger.
You could use the stock or most aftermarket browser and watch 720P YouTube using Flash on normal YouTube site.

simple solution is to not use the app and just use a browser. ive had no issues watching 720p videos in youtube on the browser.

I've noticed this too with the You Tube app. The blacks sometimes are blocky. A good example is the Avatar 1080p trailer, especially around 15 seconds mark: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_i2RCBa3l-g
If I view the same clip on You Tube via a browser (720p settings) it looks better, but the browser is a fiddly substitute for the app on a phone. It does seem to be mostly a bitrate limitation though, so maybe Google or a.n. other hacker needs to modify "HD" on their app to mean a higher bitrate, now we're defining 1280x800 as a mobile screen resolution .
[edit]
Actually, if I watch that Avatar clip in the browser with a playback quality set to 240p or 360p it obviously looks pixelated, but doesn't show the blockiness that's in the You Tube app stream. Looks like the app either is handling the stream differently (badly) or the stream itself is different to that which is sent to the flash plugin in the browser. Wonder if Google is using a different codec for their app. WebM maybe?

[Q] Flash video playback on MOJO? - PLEASE do this test for me?

Hello guys,
I have bought TWO other android TV boxes and neither play tennistv.com videos properly/well like my Nexus 10 and Nexus 5 do...
I am interested in buying MOJO but it's a big risk since I do not know if I will be able to play 720p 25fps video from tennistv.com... so...
PLEASE DO THIS TEST:
1/ go to tennistv.com, then
2/ on the top left, click the menu to choose VIDEOS choose a video to play, and
3/ on the bottom right of the video, click the full screen icon
I would VERY much appreciate your input.
Does it play full screen?
Is it very smooth and HD?
Try Dolphin / "Browser" / Puffin or FlashFox if you have them.
Thank you
Mark.

I no longer have the Mojo, but I can tell you beyond a doubt that at least with Dolphin, flash videos do NOT play full screen (you get sound, black screen) but do play in a window.

Hi, thanks for the response... It's baffling for me. My nexus 10 plays full screen HD flash from tennis tv. Com and is stable... But for SOME reason, all android boxes are CRAP with that. Maybe Google's new upcoming Android TV... What a pain. Any mojo owners out there, how about FlashFox? Tx Mark

I tried it in Dolphin and the video was slow and would stop frequently. Not watchable at all.

Thanks p901, pity! I wonder what's different about my n10 that it works? I'd you get a chance, would you also try FlashFox? Tx mate, mark

I first tried it on Chrome, it played but definitely was not full HD, was fuzzy and hard to watch. I played it on the regular stock android browser and it played pretty well. Wasn't fuzzy and was HD. There was occasional slighty noticeble stutter when panning but pretty smooth overall. Took a bit to load up, but then played. This was full screen on 60 inch screen. I will try FlashFox when I get a chance to download it.

Hi christoph,
Hmm, interesting it plays in HD and smoothly on Browser!
Did you try a few different videos?
When I try Browser on my Tronsmart s89 the resolution is not close to HD and the video is milky and there is some ghosting.
Thanks for testing, I am curious about FlashFox too. Opera is the same as Browser AFAICT.
tx
Mark

So I went back and tested a bit more on both browser and flashfox. They both play about the same. I'd say HD and not fuzzy, but certainly ghosting going on, especially with the ball. It's not completely smooth and some stutter. I think it would be hard to watch an entire tennis match on it. It's not nearly as smooth as watching something like Youtube.

Thanks christoph, seems I'll be using chromecast via pc tab casting or nexus 10 via hdmi...
