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

Yeah i use stock browser! Its faster than dolphin.

I also experience the same thing. But everyone keep saying Dolphin is better. I already uninstall it,, Lol

I've been using dolphin mini. Any opinions with that one? I went away from stock because of checkerboarding with various devices and the ability to easily clean caches.

Why need to change agentstring?

theres definitely special sauce in the stock browser (HW acceleration).
its light years smoother than dolphin or miren.
good on samsung, now fix the broken layout (e.g. to call up bookmarks you need to press menu, then move your hand to top of the screen and press the bookmark button on top right, basically going a full diagonal, usability fail).

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.

I thought 3.1 Will bring 1080p hdmi support....but no...it didn't.....thrn I thought 4.010.40 will bring it(as per the changelog)....but still the same.....is everyone having the same issue or my tab exceptionly shows only 720p...!?

Running .40 version and 1080p hdmi out works but it is not smooth at all. It plays normally for a while then the picture pauses for a second then continue this behavour randomly.
Remember to play 1080 video file, so it will automatically switch from 720 to 1080.

Ooh interesting.
I'm not too surprised if the tablet can't decode 1080p but do other stuff work ok with 1080p output?
ie how does it work?
Does the external screen act like a second screen running at 1080 resolution?
I'm more interested in 'normal' apps like QuickOffice or more importantly, RDP running at .. well, whatever resolution this thing can output at... 1920x1080?

Unfortunately, they didn't put much thought into this (probably Nvidia's lack of foresight). The HDMI will only push 1080p video when playing a 1080p source, which it is hardly capable of doing. All other times it will be 720p.

What's the point in that?
I can only assume that app developers will be able to specify what resolution their apps can output in.
eg RDP app devs can allow the app to output at 1920x1080... and NOT mirror the tablet screen.
Or maybe Angry Birds to be in full screen, rather than having to scroll sideways.
Surely it's not purely for video which it can't play anyway.
Just plugged mine into an external screen and I can't figure out a way to demo this new feature whatsoever.
Unless this update is for .40 only.. I only got updated to .38 this morning.

Are you sure you were playing 1080p baseline-profile, not normal- or high-profile content?

Partially in reply to myself and to duongla: I just tried both with 720p high-profile and 1080p baseline-profile. Both are smooth as butter. Only 1080p non-baseline starts stuttering. As such I'd say he was trying to play non-baseline-1080p video.

I just bought an HDMI cable to watch netflix on my computer and I have an older HDTV, from 2004. It has HDMI input but it doesn't allow 720p for some reason so I get the little Android dude with the 720p bubble. How can I change the output to 1080i? Is there even a way. I'm running Thor's ICS v96.

You can't force a resolution, the tablet tries to output whatever the content is. The netflix app will not do 1080i, at least as far as I know. I'd suggest figuring out why your TV won't do 720p. All the 1080i capable TVs I've ever seen could do 720p no problem.

You have to make a website with many 1080p Flash videos on one page.

ironically, it stutters in some other websites

I managed to get two 720p youtube videos to work and even though it played well and the phone stayed responsive their was some stuttering, I'd guess frame rate dropped to something like 10fps.
Answering your question I think one only, which is still pretty impressive tbh.

1080p youtube videos should play smooth. You might have to pause video for the streaming to catch up, youtube' servers seem to slow.

Are you using the stock ROM and stock browser?
I was using MIUI and Dolphin Mini and 1080p isn't that smooth.

Why do you want to play 1080p in a 480p screen?
It is ridiculous.

Nope.
HDMI output it is only 1080p using a video file on the phone output by the video player in full screen mode.
If you try to see a flash video that it is on the phone UI (browser), the output will be only 800x480 in the TV, so it is not possible to see flash video 1080p at 1080p in the TV with the hdmi. You will see 800x480 scaled to 1080 on TV and it will looks like crap and same quality that using 480p video.
So seeing 1080p flash on a phone it is simply stupid and without real use until adobe makes that flash can go full screen video on the phones, and they cant do this, so theres no future with this. Maybe galaxy 3 can show true 1080p ui when connected to hdmi and make it useful, but not now.

[Q] Choppy video 4.4.2

Hi all, I've just bought a 32gb N10 after reading all about it here. It came with 4.2.2, the first thing I did was update it to 4.4.2.
Netflix, iPlayer and YouTube/vimeo all have choppy playback, especially noticeable when the camera pans around a scene. I've read that 4.4 can cause video issues, and never tried 4.2.2 or 4.3.
Anyone experiencing the same thing? Any workarounds? I've already tried clearing app cache and disk cache (via recovery)

I watch video from the sources you mention except iPlayer and resolved any playback shutter I've experienced. I'm using rooted stock 4.4.2 and XPosed framework modules. For me the culprit turned out to be an often running background and app "FolderSync". Once I reduced the frequency of the sync the stuttering disappeared.
Here are some suggestions on figuring out the issues.
- at least temporarily disable background activity (eg. Onandroid backups definitely causes video stutter)
- first eliminate the network by copying a HD quality video onto the N10 and play it back from internal storage. If it shutters then get a player that supports ARM7 hardware decoding (eg. MX Player)
- if the test above proves that your N10 can handle the videos then you will need to focus on weak links in your network connection
For high bit rate videos (eg. 1080p my files), Wifi can be overwhelmed so I often use a USB Ethernet adapter.
With MX Player and it's ARM7 add-on I can play any video in my collection. With the the Ethernet adapter I can play Netflix's SuperHD quality while with WiFi lower quality steaming do occur. The. Nexus 10 is a very capable video player.

Thanks for your input. I tried MX player with ARM HW decoder and it works! But for netflix etc it's all software. Did it used to be smooth on 4.3?
I disabled backups in the settings, does rooting let you disable any other backup stuff?

Do a stock flash. Do not upgrade from an earlier version.

I didn't subscribe to Netflix until after I was using 4.4.2 and outside of occasional buffering I have not experienced video stuttering except for the background task issues I've described and fixed.

Hi,
I only had a problem with playing videos when my memory was cluttered like other people already stated. Make sure there's no apps running in background! I can't tell about Netflix though, I don't use it hehe, but today my memory was being used a lot by background apps and when I tried to watch a video in MX it skipped many frames and lagged a lot, after killing all background apps the video ran without issues .
~Lord

So I used wugfresh to flash the factory image 4.4.2 and iPlayer seems better but Netflix still seems a bit choppy (especially when it's streaming in super HD).
I'm disappointed as I mainly bought this to watch Netflix and iPlayer. Are there any kernels or ROMs that provide a better video experience? Will flash 4.3 tomorrow and see how that performs.

When you flash stock and then first setup make sure you do NOT tick to restore from backup. It restores slowness.
I use my N10 for iPlayer every day and works fine but I prefer to use get-iPlayer on a Linux or Windows device to download and then watch on Android it is more consistent experience plus you get HD and I play using MX player just fine.

I have installed 4.3 and netflix and iPlayer are now smoother (still a bit choppy but much better). I wonder if this is to do with the RAM allocation between 4.3 and 4.4. Hope 4.5 is better at videos than 4.3 and would be nice to get ART on it too.

The stuttering can vary by the service provider. Be careful on forming conclusions when you're dealing with remote Internet-based services. I find services like Hulu and iplayer (I don't use NetFlix) varies by the day. If were dumb enough to think that was due to the Android version I could easily make false conclusions. I have a Nexus 10, 7, 4 and 3 PCs and from that try to eliminate the variable service aspect from the Android version aspect.
Do look into get_iplayer, it is very good and in many ways superior to the iplayer App. What you can then do is accumulate media and then use an OTG USB storage device which then makes your need for large Android devices or ones with SD slots much less important.

Yes of course I have made sure that remote connections aren't the reason for choppyness. I compared using the same 50 Mbps connection using my laptop (1080p), an iPad 4, my nexus 10 and my Galaxy S4, at the same time of day sequentially. The nexus came out the choppiest (dropped frames) by far.Even on media downloaded then played back in the gallery app.
It just seems strange that google would release a (flagship) device with an inability to smoothly play 1080p video out of the box.

I don't have any 1080p media mine are 720p. Mine play fine. get_iplayer HD produces 1280x720 H264 25fps 2.3Mbit 1GB/hour files.
Did you literally take stock (without restoring from backup) install MX Player enable it to h/w+ and get choppiness?
I find the video performance of my N10 stunning, it is the fastest and clearest of all my devices. I use it for Hulu+ often at its streamed HD when offered, and usually off local media or streaming off NAS. To make my N10 choppy video I have to be doing typically 2 other things in the background at the same time, I think due to 1GB memory not really being enough.
There are N10 weaknesses, on mine if I load too many apps particularly more than a few Chrome tabs, it does a reboot, so I tend to use mine for big-screen media watching and I got a N7 and N4 alongside which allows more multitasking by multi devices, then my N10 is very stable and performing. For this reason I never would pay $500 for a N10 but got mine for $278 which I think given its stability and performance issues is fairer priced. My N4 which has 24% number of pixels of N10 and double the memory is far far more stable but not really a sit back and enjoy media device.

With MX player and HW decoding it was smooth - however I primarily got my N10 to stream Netflix and iPlayer, neither of which can you enable HW decoding. I will look into get_iplayer but my laptop is Windows for a start so it's a pain in the backside to install Ubuntu etc to download. It just seems like it's a workaround for a deficiency that shouldn't have existed in the first place!
Yesterday I watched a whole movie in Super HD on the N10 from Netflix on 4.3 and it was a lot lot smoother than 4.4.2. I'm not sure why it would be so different, as the OS was generally snappier in 4.4. The picture quality was great, albeit the colours were a bit washed out but i can live with that!

I use a playstore YouTube alternative app called Viral and it has a HW acceleration setting. I'm not sure if it would actually make a difference for you but Viral could always be uninstalled.
See: Settings->Player controls->Hardware acceleration->allow get for video player. It's a check box.

If I'm traveling very light but I need a Windoze machine I have an ancient Netbook which sucks are performance but it runs the get_iplayer and I USB cable to copy over. If I'm traveling light and don't need a Windoze machine I'll have accumulated mp4 to the limit of the internal N10 storage then spill over into the ridiculously cheap OTG USB storage.
Downloading ahead and then playing local content removes a host of issues. It isn't a workaround but an alternative with advantages. Issues with streaming are that the BBC servers / bandwidth can be choppy themselves sometimes plus the Nexus 10 screen is much better than the highest definition content that the App delivers, if you download it goes up in quality (if you set modes=best) and really makes the N10 better to view. So it's relevant to this thread.
What I do is as get_iplayer exists is I accumulate the mp4 and when online with good Wifi 'net access exhaust all the Hulu etc online-only content and then move to watch the BBC stuff. Plenty of situations like hotels crap Wifi service come to mind.

1080p, 60fps casting and audio out of sync issues. Hardware limitation?

Hi,
A big draw for me to the Nexus Player was to be able to cast Twitch streams. An issue I have with some stream is that the video and audio get out of sync. However, after some research, people are telling me that the hardware just isn't powerful enough to drive [email protected]
Is this true? And if so, would buying something like an NVIDIA Shield TV for sure fix the problems I'm seeing? Anyone with some insight would be appreciated.

1080p at 60fps is not really that taxing these days with hardware acceleration, even the tiny Chromecast can manage it fine, and that's easily outclassed by the Nexus Player's Atom + PowerVR chips.
As proof, apps like Netflix, Crunchyroll, Youtube and Kodi are all smooth as silk @ 1080p with plenty of CPU headroom, and audio stays in sync. So: probably an app bug.

I posted in a reddit thread (can't direct link it, account too new) and a Twitch staff said it's a hardware limitation with Chromecast. As far as Netflix, Youtube, Crunchyroll, etc. are concerned, I don't believe you ever get streams of shows in 60fps (usually 23 or 30fps; there's no need for anything higher). And truth be told there's no need for streams to be in 60fps either (but that's not something I can control).
Still though... NP should have enough horsepower to handle it. I'll need to conduct some tests with other [email protected] videos to check whether it's an app bug or not. Really frustrating either way.

Actually yes, you're right, 1080/30 does seem to be the Chromecast max:
https://developers.google.com/cast/docs/media
Although it's hard to tell for sure exactly how accurately Android devices report their codec capabilities (Plex has this issue recently wrongly capping the max h264 profile/level) ... more testing needed!

Yeah that documentation confuses me even further. It says, "the processor can decode up to 720/60 or 1080/30". Whose processor?? Isn't it entirely dependent on the implementation (Chromecast, Nexus Player, Razer Forge, NVIDIA Shield, etc.) Is it talking specifically about the Chromecast dongle (that would be odd since this is the API page for casting in general)?
I just left a stream that's [email protected] running for ~20 mins, oddly enough it didn't get out of sync this time. I gotta look at the stream settings next time it desyncs... maybe it's a different setup that causes it.
