[Q] Video playback on Defy CM9 laggy? - Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is this normal even in the latest nightly? I thought that full HWA would get this fixed, but YouTube lags if I'm scrolling trough comments and MX Player can't play videos at decent speed (tried with a 720p video that worked fine on CM7). Is it normal that I can't choose hw deco on MX Player?
Maybe it's something with the codecs?
Everything else seems smooth, though opening apps is a little slow.
Thanks in advance
Edit: btw it's a Defy red lens, CM9 for froyo kernel (07/05/2012)

Mine was the same mate

Stock Player
Have you tried the stock player?
I have the same build as you have and the stock player is working great. I have downloaded some YouTube .mp4 videos (from PC) and they play like charm on the stock Gallery player.
Haven't tried other players, though.

I was having some serious lagging here and there, having moved through the last 10 or so Epsylon3 nightlies making setting change after change, and doing a lot of tweaking. I'm sure that something had left a footprint somewhere, and ICS wasn't liking it.
I'll tell you what made a big difference for me: Backing up, and doing a factory reset. I've reloaded my apps, and set everything how I like it, and whatever it was that was causing lag cleared right up. It's performing the best it's been thus far.

Well, sometimes just wiping the dalvik and the cache is enough, but a clean install always solves all the problems.
Take good care of your Defy!

with hwa the videos doesn't show image, buy when I change to S/W (in mx player) the video works fine

[HELP] cannot play video anymore =(

recently i've flashed MIUI GALLERY, MIUI CAMERA, MIUI MUSIC and then i realise i cannot play any videos.
i've tried to install other video player from the market but still force closed when im trying to play a video.
how do i overcome this problem? thanks
I could not get video to work when i 1st updated to cm7
Then i realized i was retarded, and their was a button on the screen that said HQ
pressed that and it changed mode
Cant say for sure but it seems to be higher quality after getting it running ,, maybe a better codec . but my screen rely seems to shine
Try software decoding and initially try playing some small files.

Choppy flash video playback

Hi All,
My S2 isn't very good at playing back flash video. My old HTC Desire would play any video embedded on a web page that you threw at it, but on the S2 it pauses, stutters and generally looks crappy. Video recorded on the device is fine.
Anyone else seen this?
Mine plays every flash video perfectly, even Youtube 1080p flash video. Must be something your doing wrong or crap internet connection.
Sounds like a bad internet connection...is your flash updated to the latest?
I am sure you are trying to play them with latest Flash player installed and on Stock browser. Yes, I too can play the 1080p videos very well, and after updating the ROM to KI3 the Stock browser has gotten more smooth. I love it.

Yep, i agree...works very smooth, no compaints at all....
If you are using Flash Player 11, just make sure you turn off "peer-assisted networking" from the flash settings app.
Mine is doing exactly the same... poor choppy playback acts as if it's buffering all the time. If I pause the video and let it buffer for a while then play the buffered part it STILL plays back choppy :-(
I'm in Canada on Telus, my network connection is excellent, showing 'H' in the notification bar... tried it on wireless network at home too (which has no issues on other phones or on the PC's). I had a Desire HD too and that worked fine on the same setup.
Any help would be appreciated!!
PS I tried deactivating 'Peer-Networking' but that made no difference. Have also tried different browsers (stock, dolphin, skyfire) and alos uninstalled and reinstalled flash.
Mine goes choppy as well on sd video on some sites. But I have had it play fine minutes before but different video link on same site. But this is on a site which the stock browser wont play, when forced to be detected as a desktop browser through useragent, and I had to use skyfire browser so maybe that is the reason

[Q] MIUI 2.1.20 Video Is Buggy - Fix Available?

Hi. I'm currently running MIUI 2.1.20 (see link below)
http://forums.miui.us/showthread.php?13388-MIUI-us-Kindle-Fire-rom-Updated-2-1-20-0xD34D
One problem for me is that I can play streaming videos from the Net and user-uploaded videos in Facebook, but when they play, the video is all choppy, like how a TV is out of tune with like diagonal lines running through it, so it's pretty much un-viewable. The audio plays fine, and the video plays, just can't really make it out at all. So, this happens when I try to watch videos from web-sites that aren't in YouTube & Netflix (those work fine).
Was wondering if there has been any development regarding a fix for this issue in this build of MIUI?
If not, does anyone know if the 2.2.3 ICS build of MIUI addresses this issue? (see link below) It's not listed as a known issue, but I don't want to assume it's fixed before flashing to it.

Thanks for your time & feedback! : ]
I use MX video player for all my videos. You can set it to SW decode and its pretty good about playing all videos without lag.

Right now, the lack of hardware acceleration in the multiple ports of ICS for the Fire prevents HD video playback, and often leaves SD video pretty laggy or choppy. Also, with no native support for Adobe Flash when streaming video, that can degrade the quality as well, if not playing whatsoever. The devs are working to get this resolved, but as it's a really complicated process, it still may be awhile before it's resolved.

[TWEAK] 720p HW Videos Patch (DSC, CM7, MIUI)

I have had some problems with 720p videos rendering on Gingerbread versions for S5, the same videos where playing just fine in FroYo, with this patch i made some of them working again, in HW mode not SW.
Recorded 720p where working just fine without the patch.
-I watch 720p movies using DicePlayer or Stock player, depending if i want subtitles or not.
Make sure to backup your original libOmxVdec.so, in case something goes wrong.
Tested and working on DSC and CM7(DSC Kernel), but i think it should work on all GB roms out there.
I have atached the patch here, you can flash it using Streakmod.
Hope this helps!
P.S. This is not my work, original work/thread can be found here and original flashable zip can be found here.
re
I installed the ZIP.
I have not noticed any change but....
With this MOD, the browser stopped playing embedded flash videos (youtube,vimeo,indavideo...)
I tried lot of browser, but the result is same.
After I restored the original files, the video playing in the browser works again...
I had no problems with flash player embedded, i also watch movies online on my phone, this patch made some videos 720p working, same videos wouldn't open in HW mode using the original lib.
In froyo i could play almost any 720p i would like, in this, not really, but this patch made some videos playable.
I don't think the browser problem was from the lib, but who knows...all i can say is that this is working just fine for me.

H/W Decoding Broke!

Uggggh. This is the fourth time this has happened. What seems to trigger it is forcing the phone to turn off. I can't record videos, watch videos, or anything that involves hardware video decoding.
Whenever I watch a video in the Gallery, it says "Can't play this video." - I can use MX player to watch the videos on software decoding mode, but never Hardware Decoding mode.
The only way to fix it is to flash stock with Wugfresh's Root Toolkit.
Has ANYONE run into this problem besides me? Is there any hope for a fix. This is devastating. I'll have to reset all my work.
You might get more answers if you include what rom and kernel you are using

Stock with root. It's happened while unrooted too.
Try flashing custom rom or flash stock rom again see if it fixes the problem, If not relock bootloader and send back to google for a new one
Might be hardware problem

Yeah, flashing stock always fixes it, so I doubt it's a hardware problem. It's just weird that it even happens in the first place, and nobody else seems to have the problem.
I have the same problem after i tried many video player apps on Google Play and websites. My N4 worked perfectly before, I thinks this is software errors (but this problems still exists when i removed all installed video apps).
It works again after I made a Factory Data Reset (Settings -> Backup and Reset -> Factory Data Reset).
Same problem
I have same problem with my Nexus 4. The system is stock. I don't even know much about rooting etc.
I cannot play the videos from any app, Chrome, Youtube, Gallery. I can only watch from software decode mode of video apps. I cannot even record video from my camera
I realized this problem after using MX player. MX player cannot play movies perfectly on my hardware mod. Some videos don't have sound, some are not smooth. Thus I am using software mod. Now MX player cannot allow select hardware mode.
I will reset my phone tomorrow and will not install MX player. I will post the result from here.
----After Reset----
I have reset my phone and installed all apps previously installed except MX Player. The problem is over.
