[Q] Audio/Video out of sync? - Kindle Fire General

Has anyone experienced any audio/video syncing problem? I have noticed this problem with streaming video (mainly youtube, I am located in Europe and I have no access to Netflix or Hulu) and with video files played with media players (like stock, rockplayer, mx video player). I have also noticed that there is a different amount of lag with different types of files but there is always some lag.
I have experienced this using both the stock amazon rom and cm7.
Is there anyone else with this issue or is something wrong with my fire?

I had this issue with Netflix today.

My Netflix is off as well. Unfortunate indeed....I want to go back to stock from cm7 and see if it works better on stock.

I am stock, never been rooted.

I had some sync issues when trying to play certain codecs or videos of certain resolutions, seems kind of random though.

I have this issue with almost all video. Netflix is always out of sync, and most videos from the internet as well. Did a side by side of same exact video with a Samsung Galaxy 7.0 (not plus), and all video was perfect on it. Im boxing it up and sending it back. Sucks because I really wanted to like it.

Hey I just installed Cyanogen on my Fire and it is no longer out of sync. So this proves that it is a software issue and that Amazon needs to fix it.

In on cm7 and mine is still out of sync

CM7 720p Flash issues

There is a known issue with playing 720p flash videos in CM7. I wasn't having this issue running stock and HomeBase. I am looking for feedback from others running CM7 to see if it's an issue with our Atrix's and CM7 Beta or something on my end. Will some please test and reply!

No one? I'm talking about playing a 720p YouTube video from the site. Not with the YouTube app. 720p is choppy, virtually unplayable.

[Q] Netflix A/V not in sync

Anyone having the problem with Netflix A/V being out of sync? Any suggestions on fixes?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
I installed Netflix from the Amazon Appstore and briefly watched about 15 minutes of a movie. Worked well for me so far. Did the a/v out of sync take a long time to be noticeable, or was it immediately?
I've been having problems with netflix as well. I set a static ip and set the dns to gooogles servers and it seems to be working a little better. The sound can be just slightly off at times, but before it was skipping a great bit.

Noticed as soon as I saw a mouth. And as far as static IP, i don't know how much this will help me.

I had this problem, and looking over reviews in the Amazon Appstore, so did many others.
I found an APK for v1.4 online and that seems to not have this issue.

Have you tried playing the video on another device like your PC? Sometimes it's the content that's the problem and not the device.
been hearing about this for a few days now. I really would like to get my hands on a Kindle Fire (more so after the root has been announced) so my question now is that this "a/v out of sync" issue, is it just for the version of netflix on the amazon app store (i know that one's different from the phone version, its apparently "optimized for tablets") or does it apply to a netflix apk sideloaded (from perhaps a HTC Sensation?)
Hulu+ is PERFECT
Hulu+ is perfect, if you're into TV. No glitching, sync problems, or anything.
I ended up removing the app, rebooting, installing again and now netflix seems much better than before.

I haven't noticed this yet on the Fire but with the PS3 app it happens quite often.
I noticed this as well, but it seemed to clear up afetr a reboot. I've heard that other devices have started seeing issues only after the netflix update that came out last week. So not sure where the problem lies...
I've been trying out the modded version of netflix found over a PPCGeeks. I've so found found the "Isystems-Netflix1.4.1-XH264-Tablet-Wizard-RR.apk" file to run the best on the Fire. The stream quality is improved, rotation is enabled, and audio is in sync.

[Q] HD movies source

How is the image quality/resolution of the movies from the Play Store?
Is there a better source for HD movies, either rental or buy?
It doesn't look like Amazon will suport the N10, correct?
Is Ultraviolet any good?

The play store movies and videos offer very good image quality and have recently been optimized for the nexus 10's high resolution display. Google plays video quality is high enough as it is but 1080p Blurays might offer you better quality. Amazon doesn't seem to support it now but it may in the future, you could always download the video then use a video converter such as handbrake to convert it for the nexus 10. Ultraviolet is so-so it's not as mature or perfected as Netflix or Amazon instant videos and many people I know have had bad experiences with it.

Looks like Ice Age HD is included with our Nexus 10. So far the quality for this movie really looks good. Can't complain.

I tried using the app from the link below. It opens up but crashes when I try to watch a movie. I tried signing on through the browser but it didn't help. I should say that I don't have prime yet. I'm thinking on buying it if I can use it on my nexus 10.

I don't think steaming works yet, but you could download the videos Amazon offers then convert them to play on the nexus 10. Also the app you mentioned hasn't been updated to work with jelly bean which would probably explain the force closes your getting.

If you run a plex media server on a desktop, you can add an amazon instant video channel and then watch it from your plex app on your tablet.

Thank you very much guys! I still don't understand why amazon won't make an app for android. it should be easier than releasing one for iOS.

CHUPACABRA! Update.

I opened my email this morning to find this from the Ouya team.

Not going to bother updating until a kitkat build is released...
This up date broke every app on my ouya that isn't from discovery. Root, play store, hulu, Netflix, etc. Has this happened to everyone else? Any one get it working? If I can't get play store apps working again, I'll ditch this box and go the Amazon route.

Slowly, but surely things are shaping up into something great.Custom ROMS and always improving stock experience, I've more than gotten my money's worth.
Play store is not working for me anymore as well, I can't get it to install anything :s

I have both with equal results.
Stock Mod Soon I hope
I'm defiantly happy with all the fixes and additions that were made. Just hope someone makes a Stock Mod Plus for this soon. I was enjoying the extras, and I need root back. Simple features that requires root like Shutdown with the controller (not sleep, and not through the use of the power button), and a timer app that performs shutdown.
The next great breakthrough will have to be the button mapping with the virtual touch screen. I got close with The Google Play version of Soul Calibur but the game kept freezing up after the first few key presses.

Sames things happen to me. Will have to rollback using the SysReq method and install image with root. I didn't make a restore file so I paid the price and had to re-install everything. My suggestion would be if you do decide to roll back just wait for someone to provide the StockPlus Mod for the newest build. This constant removal of root is getting annoying.
On a side note, I can tell you upgrading from SPP_1.2.858_RC1 to RC-OUYA-1.2.995-r1 will remove all you extras and root. Even with the perserve setting on in the MOD collection.

I tried to run the "RooyMyOuya.apk" and it just kept simply crashing. What steps did you perform to get your root back?
Well actually root my ouya app had already installed. When I opened app after chupacabra update, the message was rooted. Nevertheless I rooted it again. After that framework had a problem , to solve it install framework again and then google play. May you have to factory reset.
by the way thanks to ouya team. Because new xmbc ouya is quite good. passthrough works perfectly with my amfi. dd and dts signs are active now.

Google Play Movies & TV - Is anyone else also getting stutters / < 15fps

I've had this phone since Sunday. Bought at an EE store in the UK. I'm loving it. However....
1) It has crashed twice while receiving calls...just keeps ringing and phone frozen...not too worried about that...yet.
2) Twice it's booted up with the screen not taking any input whatsoever....again...not worried as a hard reboot sorts that.
The 2 above are just minor inconveniences...doesn't actually stop me from doing anything....I've taken enough calls to know...that crashing when receiving a call is going to be rare enough not to drive me mad.
The real problem I have, is that google Play movies and TV will not settle down and play without stuttering between 5 and 15fps. It's only google play movies and TV doing this. I can play back all content on the device fine with no problems.
It doesn't matter if I stream or download the content on google movies and tv - it will stutter.
Tried re-installing...tried clearing app data + cache...it will not sort itself out.
Does anyone else have the same problem?
Note to mods : My apologies...I should have posted this to Q&A.

Hi! Thanks. Just one bit of info that would be useful to me. Do you have this phone? Is your google movies playing back OK? If you have the phone, but you don't have any content on google play, would you do me a really good favour and download one of the free TV shows? Especially if you happen to be on EE!
Cheers!
Yeah I've got the phone, unlocked from cpw so no EE stuff and I've got no issues on the minion movie

Yes. I've worked out that it works WITHOUT storage encryption. The moment the phone is encrypted, the stuttering comes back.
Google won't fix it, saying that it's a performance issue. Sony have told me that they've booked it in as a bug, but I can't expect any fix anytime soon.
The problem I have is that Hulu crashes on me. All other video apps have no trouble.

Ok I just tried it. I couldn't get to open a Violet account, and I had to skip it. When I purchased a video it was fine(free one), and then tried to play it. It'll hang no matter which resolution I chose. Same thing happens to Hulu. Netflix, Vicki, Drama Fever, Crunchyroll, Google Play Movies, and Funimation works fine for me.

Seems it's a problem on all Z5 Premium phones. I really like Vudu because the streaming is basically blu-ray quality.
