Not posted in a while as I've been largely enjoying the Mojo trouble free. However yesterday I was watching one of my video files using SPMC and it just stopped, sending me back to the video selection screen in SPMC. I'm using a 2Tb WD USB hard drive, on my Mojo is CM 12.1, and SPMC is my usual choice to play files back.
This was an MP4, 1080p at 2.7Gb, and this was a 3 hour movie, which ceased playback at the 2 hour 15 minute mark. I attempted to resume to playback, but it seemed to try and then immediately dumped me back again.
My first thought was it must be a corrupt file, so I tried it on my PC but there were no issues. I go back to the Mojo to try restarting the film from the beginning again, skipping ahead to the troublesome part, but it stopped again at exactly the same moment.
I then tried VLC, and to my surprise I found this was exactly the same. Playback ceased at the same point exactly.
So now I'm worried it's the drive, so I decide to plug it into my Raspberry Pi which is running the latest OSMC, and to my surprise it's fine. Playback is trouble free. Plugging the drive into my PC to play the file reveals it plays fine. It has to be the Mojo, but it must be a global setting or something. I've tried clearing the app cache, but it's made no difference. To be honest I don't really know where to look next. Can anyone help? Thanks all.
tl;dr: File plays fine on PC and Raspberry Pi, stops abruptly on Mojo using SPMC or VLC. Must be a setting somewhere to fix. Help!
Well now here's an interesting discovery to make after several months of ownership! I always was slow on the uptake...
It seems on further inspection that the Mojo/CM 12.1 doesn't like any of my "large" files above 2.5Gb. I have tried some others around that size and larger, and they are all the same. The are slow to use (skipping forward etc.), and then just give up so far into playback. My drive is formatted NTFS, so I don't think that's the issue.
I'm really hoping there's something I can do to fix this.
Aaaand on even further inspection, file size has nothing to do with it. There's a number of files that just won't play very nicely, big or small. They lag when skipping through, and then cease so far into playback.
I'd read that Android wasn't so great with video codecs generally, and this must be what they mean. Can't believe I didn't notice it before.
I had the same issue with videos over 2GB. It is an issue with NTFS. The same files played fine on a FAT32 drive. I have since gone to using a NTFS NAS instead. Works flawlessly with Kodi.
Thanks for replying. I've ended up simply remuxing and replacing those problematic files, which seems to have resolved the issue. It's a pity, but I am finding the Mojo a very fussy and particular system indeed. What a shame, as it is so capable at hardware level.
Tried playing the file with Kodi?
That's usually my fix to those type of situations.

Sorry for late reply. Yes all the video apps show the same result, which means it must be the system. I've read up a little on this and have discovered other folks with similar issues when using Android for video playback. I'm fine now anyway - like I say, I remuxed these troublesome files and made them smaller but no less qualitative. Some of them were quite big for DVD rips (around 3-4Gb) and did not need to be so. Thank god for Handbrake! It worked out well in the end as my drive was beginning to be pressed for space with so many of these, and I've managed to free up 70Gb just by being a little bit more conservative.

Well I bought a 32Gb SD card and excitedly copied my MP3 music collection onto it.
However, playing these on my Windows 7 HTC Shift results in a disappointing playback quality, with 'popping' and 'glitching' occuring about every 6 seconds. It's almost listenable but rather anoying.
My Vista laptop plays the mp3 music fine from the SD cards, the issue is specific to the HTC shift, it's SD card drivers and the SD card slot.
When the MP3 is copied onto the Shifts hard drive, it plays perfectly.
I have tested all 3 of my SD cards, one FAT 4Gb, one FAT32 4Gb, and one NTFS 32Gb, and all of them exhibit the same glitchy MP3 playback on my HTC Shift.
I have tried all players on my shift, Windows media player, itues, and the lightweight VLC. All result in the same poor music playback on my Shift when the MP3 is on the SD card.
So there seems to be a problem with the Shift specifically, with MP3 playback from the SD card slot.
Has anyone else experienced this?
I have yet to try other music formats, but I'll write up my findings here.
It's disappointing as I don't want to clog up my Shifts hard drive with music files.
Could any of you shift owners do a quick test to see if an MP3 file plays smoothly from an SD card in your shift?
No problem with my 4gb sdhc.

That's good news. Thanks for taking the time to test that.
Are you running Windows 7?
My device driver reckons the SD driver is up to date.
I'll try installing the SD formatter 3 patch this evening so see if that solves it.
Yes, windows 7. Let us know.
Negative. I installed patch KB976422-x86, rebooted, reformatted the SD card and re-tested. But the same glitchy playback occured.
Hmmm. I'm going to try safe mode or strip down all the services and startup programs to see if any of those is causing it.
Can you try playing with buffering inside the players? Maybe, like when playing big files from the internet on a low bandwith it makes things run not quite so smooth. By the way, what is the bit rate you are using? Playing with the quality of the recording can also have some influence: lower bit rates go smoother through the bus if it is struggling with higher bit rates. I've seen it happening at work with CD/DVD players.
I had high hopes for resolving this problem as I make backup images of my Shifts hard drive from time to time, so I restored an image that was made soon after windows 7 was restored. But the music still played back badly from SD. Even after I uninstalled all unecessary programs and killed unecessary tasks.
So I still haven't resolved this. I had a red herring solution, but it turned out that if I play the SAME mp3 twice, the second play is fine as the file must be cached on my hard drive following the first read.
My next thoughts are with services and the BIOS. My BIOS reads 1.0.0.18.
This is a little surprising as I know the latest HTC released BIOS is 10.0.0.8. I had loaded 1.0.0.8 before when I was Vista, but since installing windows 7 I didn't bother changing the BIOS as I thought it would be independant of the OS and persist. Do Windows 7 installers put the HTC Support BIOS 1.0.0.8 on their shifts?

Thankyou Wovens. These are great points which I hadn't considered. My MP3s are 160kbps. Fairly hight but not excessively so.
Buffering and quality will be by next area of investigation.
UPDATE:
I have had the very same MP3 music playing smoothly now from the SD Card. Amazingly, this was on my restored latest hard drive image which had ALL my programs installed. What's even stranger is that I didn't do anything specifically to get it working. I just left Windows 7 to rest for a good 10 minutes before attempting to play the music. I have suspicions that the OS 'gets busy' doing someing that interferes with the SD card.
I'm getting there... and I'll post my findings which should hopefully conclude with a culprit and a permanent solution.
Alright here's the deal, I got my HD2 when T-Mo had their sale on the 19th, so I'm pretty new. I've searched the forums, and I found several threads on the audio/video sync issue, but they don't help me too much with the problem I have. I used Red Kawa video conversion software to convert my MKV files to MP4, and while most people were saying the HD2 is the cause of the delay, I will note here that my videos were out of sync before I ever transferred them to the phone, so I had to delay them from the get-go. That's not my problem though. Now that I have about 10 videos in the correct format for the phone (800x480, video 1024kbps, audio 192kbps, -200ms delay) once I actually place them on the storage card and play them, they look fantastic until 7 minutes into any movie I play and the phone freaks out. Regardless of whether I'm in Album or WMP, and TCPMP won't play them hardly at all. I also can't use the slider to select any part of any video or the same thing happens, complete freakout. It's the weirdest thing, and there are videos I put on the phone without the delay that worked fine 2 days ago, but these mess up like clockwork EXACTLY 7 minutes in! Any advice here would be much appreciated. I haven't used Windows Mobile since the 2003 version, so I'm new to a lot of it.
Just wanted to add that the videos play perfectly on my computer, and I can use the slider on here to change spots...
Whoops! I thought I had both Anamorphic and Widescreen profiles set up the same, turns out one was on the Baseline Profile and another was on the Main Profile. As a result Anamorphic (Main) movies play fine, they're still not really slideable, but they don't jack up at 7 minutes.
Hey all,
I typically never register and make my first a complaint/help post, but this problem has been plaguing me ever since I first got my Galaxy S Vibrant from Bell (i9000m) a week ago and now I'm pretty much desperate in looking for a solution, as music listening happens to be a HUGE part of my Smartphone experience. I love the phone with everything else thus far after coming over from iphone 3G and definitely wouldn't want to change the phone just because of this problem... but it's becoming way too persistent for me that I'm actually considering switching back to Apple (even though I don't want to).
Here's the problem: The music player seems absolutely incapable of smooth playback of music for whatever reason. In my ~10 years of music phone experience (I got the first ever mp3 phone released here in Canada - the Samsung Uproar, many years ago actually), this phone is the first to have such problems. Here are some symptoms and settings, music playing on both the stock music player as well as btunes that I downloaded and paid for:
- MP3/AAC files stutter/skip seemingly at random. Not majorly but for half a second or so at different parts of the song. Happens somewhat consistently, every 4 minutes or so, but at random.
- Here's an interesting thing; the ability for FLAC playback is one of the main reasons why I purchased this phone, and so far it's incapable of doing so properly. EACH AND EVERY FLAC song I have stutter/skips at a certain point for 3/4th of a second... and the funny thing is that this seems to occur at exact same point of each song.
- Before any of you question the point, 95% of these are self-ripped FLAC/mp3 files from my own cd's, using EAC. I'm an audiophile and know well how to rip songs properly, so I know this is 100% NOT the problem of the files itself... especially since they play perfectly in every single music player software/mp3 player/cellphone that I've ever used.
- This happens in both stock touchwiz and launcher pro UI that I'm currently using.
- Happens in both stock player and btunes as mentioned earlier. Interesting thing about FLAC files; I mentioned before each files skip at same parts of the song... interestingly the stock player and btunes seem to skip with these files at DIFFERENT parts of the song, yet the part where they stutter/skip is still the same for each player. So for example, Song A would skip on stock player at 3:31 point of the song each time, but that same Song A would skip on btunes at 2:23 point of the song every time...
- I do have beautiful weather widget running, and will test it out soon to see if this is the problem (haven't got around to doing so yet and don't have headphones with me atm)... but even if it is, it would seem appaling to me that a widget and a simple resource-light music player can't coexist... doesn't make sense to me and kind of misses the point of a high end smartphone.
- I'm not going to use Airplane mode as a solution, since this pretty much misses the point of the smartphone as I've said above. Besides, I've tried it already and music STILL stuttered/skipped!
- As I have high end headphones/IEMs such as Audio Technica ESW10JPN and Shure SE530, it's definitely not the headphones, and they work flawlessly in any other player.
- Drag and drop, media player, Kies, you name it... every method of transfer of songs gives the same problem.
- Internal SD card, External SD card... doesn't seem to make a lick of difference either.
- I have the stock JG9 firmware that my phone came with. I would download the new one that is apparently out for my i9000m version (JH2) if Kies ever detects the damn thing (it's never there as an update)...
So any clues on how to solve this annoying problem. As I've said, this is the ONLY problem I've had with my unit (my GPS is fine, and phone runs lag free) and its a darn shame because music playback is a huge part of my smartphone use. Is this likely a firmware problem? Or just a problem with memory use? If I don't have to I'd REALLY rather not root the phone but if that solves it for certain then I'm actually willing to look into it... that's how desperate I am to solve this problem.
I'd appreciate any input in this matter... thanks in advance.
I had the same problem, and pinned it down to one of my widgets hogging all the resources. As soon as I disabled the widget, playback was fine again.
another tip
disable media scan

I'll be trying this out later on, but seems really sad to me for a phone of this calibre in not being able to handle that if this was true...

Just a guess but this would require rooting, won't it?
yes, as you need to install another piece of software to do the trick
but you can always Un-root, if you ever need to send your phone for warranty

Probably more bad coding of the free widgets rather than the phone not being capable. I can write a 4 line .vbs script that will cane most PC's and drag them to their knees.
Have you done a factory reset? No problems here, love the music player. I have beautiful home also
Sent from my GT-I9000M using XDA App
mine doesnt skip at all even while using gps.. i would recommend that you check your sd card.. maybe bad or too slow..
that is indeed a posibility.
in older devices low speed SD cards can cause data skip
but now in days most SD cards are pretty fast, so the problem shouldn't be there, yet you'll never know, so that's the posibility
Nah. My external micro SD is a class 6 Sandisk, and I'm sure the internal one isn't all that bad either... comes with the phone after all. Pretty sure it isn't the SD Cards as the problem happens on both. Tried the music player without any widgets running, with the phone connected through headphone jack into AUX of my car for about 6 minutes at lunch... and it actually played pretty smoothly... but I'll have to try that out more extensively later, plus try it with FLAC files as well.
Haven't done a factory reset (apparently it doesn't do much for ppl who's had same problems), but I'll be flashing to the JH2 later on today so I'm guessing that'll be more or less the same thing... hoping that it makes some sort of difference.
Alright, I was able to install JH2 firmware and play around with turning off the widgets and such... and it did not do ANYTHING with the FLAC Playback problems. The same tracks always still skip at the same place in the song, and no FLAC files seems to play 100% smoothly... and the tags are still broken. Turning off the widgets don't stop these glitches. MP3's on the other hand seems perfect for the most part unless I missed something... At this point, I'm just inclined to believe that FLAC support for Galaxy at this time is heavily glitched. Does anyone else here have perfect FLAC playback? Totally smooth with perfect tags and everything? If you do, please post the firmware and settings and all that.
Ugh, at least even iphone 4 had a perfect music player and a perfect lossless support, although it's ALAC instead of FLAC... strongly considering it now if the player is going to remain glitched like this. The phone is so excellent besides this, that I'd hate to do that... but music listening just happens to be a big part of my smartphone use.
other users have reported the same findings about FLAC
this is just a software thing, it'll be fixed in no time

I have the same thing too.. I suspect its a scheduling issue or buffering issue. Not sure about your tag issues though, as they work fine for me

My biggest concern is that FLAC playback is solely Samsung's responsibility apparently (Android apparently doesn't natively support FLAC, so I don't expect Froyo to do much), and I really doubt that it's one of their priorities for fixing at the moment (especially with the whole GPS issue). It's up to Sammy to fix it, but I can't say I have too much faith.
Well, since I've got an android phone and all I think I'll root this phone and play around with the setCPU stuff, and see if that helps. This fixed it for one of the users from what I've read.
I've got no problems playing any FLAC file on my default Samsung player very smooth. I haven't rooted my phone or ever installed custom firmwares. I am running the new official UK firmware XXJM1.
Details
Sandisk Class 4 4GB card.
FLAC Bitrate: 1411Kbps ~ Lossless Audio Codec File
Wow... well, it's at least a good news that someone else can playback FLAC smoothly without any problems... and it also means that if this is true, then its more than likely that this is purely a firmware issue... which means it's more than possible for Samsung to fix this.
Factory reset solved media issues for several people I know of. So if you didn't reset your phone when you got it, do so now and chances are you are rid of the problem.

I've flashed to a new firmware since I first got it. Wouldn't this technically be the same thing as factory reset since the initial firmware/contents got wiped out clean and replaced by a brand new one? And even after that unfortunately the audio problems still remain for me...
Try putting the music onto external sd card. Had audio skipping problems after installing one click click lag fix and went crazy trying to figure it out.

It's been on external SD card since the second day. Doesn't seem to matter for me at all since the files skip the same way on both internal and external card.
I'm going to go to the Bell Store anyway today (to discuss phone plan stuff), so I think I'll take my SD card with me and try the demo models to see if there are same playback problems on those. I really doubt this is due to hardware but hey, since I'll be there anyway, why not.
Search has been down all day, so sorry if this is addressed somewhere else...
After the 3.1 update, MoboPlayer doesn't play anything for me and just force closes. Thankfully, RockPlayer still works. Anyone else encountering this?
I'm using the stock 3.1 OTA, but I am rooted. Everything else seems to be working fine so far.
I'm having problems with mobo being slow, and playing files then after sometime saying hardware decode isn't available, and refusing to play the same code until reboot, but this seems to be with stock layer too. I will try rockplayer tonight... on the plus side mkvs can play with hardware decode, but still no sound unless software decode.
Yea moboplayer worked great on my 3.0.1 but since I installed 3.1 its crashing etc
I'm using vplayer now which seems to work fine
Have you guys tried a reboot? A couple of my programs (including my go-to, JJcomics) were being force closey after the OTA, but a restart sorted them out.
I uninstalled and reinstalled, and I reboot my A500 at least daily (after shutting it off for the night). I can now get further and actually play a video, but it's nowhere near as smooth of an experience as it used to be. When I change the settings back to what they used to be before the reinstall, it just immediately force-closes again.
I notified the developer and will report back if/when they reply.
Have any of you guys tried just using the stock android video player app? I can now play xvid avi files using either the Gallery app or by launching the video player from within ES File Explorer thus negating the need to use mobo player or whatever (which does seem to run like crap since the 3.1 update) ? I'm fairly certain this did not work previously. However i may be wrong.....
Strange... My Moboplayer is working just fine, and in fact seems more stable than before the update to 3.1
Out of curiosity, what is your current build? (I know there are multiple build numbers out there, not sure why, but could that perhaps be a factor??)
I'm on build number Acer_A500_4.010.22_COM_GEN1
My mobo had the same types of issues... I rebooted and it was better... then I resorted to clearing data for the program and it's at least better... I will say that some files don't play and one I have will lock it up now and go black... can't blame mobo on this one but I'm sure that it'll have to mobo to fix it as long as updates take from acer =P)
edit: uninstalled mobo and the codec, tried divx, wmv, mpg, mp4, 3gp... and all of them fc'd the gallery. I forced closed the gallery and cleared the data now everyone of the file types I try works perfectly.
edit: on further review I loaded a divx and watched it for awhile shut it down and when I went to view it again it asked if I wanted to start at where I left off... yes... gallery fc'd on me... tried the whole proccess again after force closing and it would start the file and when resuming the gallery locks up again. I need to mention that I'm plugging my fat32 formatted wd 1tb drive (usb 2/3) drive (which btw, takes forever to load and if the screen sleeps the drive shuts down and has to reload (70+ seconds) again... not a great experience thus far... back to moboplayer.
I'm on Acer_A500_4.010.08_COM_GEN2.
I think it has a lot to do with what you're trying to play. I'm trying to play Divx/Xvid, which Mobo used to play great but not anymore. Now, suspiciously, the stock player didn't used to be able to play these, but now it does.
I think that points to a codec issue.
Anyone know what codec set I should download for the A500 from the Mobo site? I was never offered one during the initial or re-install, but I suspect I now need one since it doesn't like what it's getting from the stock 3.1 rom.
The only problem with the stock player is subs and not the greatest UI for automatically finding movies on the external SD or USB drives.
IMHO the stock player should be used for everything that it can actually play and use Moboplayer only in soft-decoding mode because its necessary. Better on your battery too.
I posted a thread up a while ago about playback being poor on Remix with 50Hz content (mods please delete that thread thank you), but it seems following a recent fresh install that all video playback is absolutely terrible no matter how I approach it.
I use an external WD 2Tb drive which connects via Stickmount. This is working fine for roms and also on other units (Ouya, Rpi2 etc). It's a mains powered drive and I plug it directly into the USB 2 slot and then into the wall so it doesn't use the MOJO's power. My telly admittedly isn't the best - it's an old Samsung 32" HD Ready thing that usually only goes to 720p (but will detect and utilise 1080p as evidenced by my Ouya) but it has never displayed this issue before. Ouya playback wasn't amazing, but it was way better than I'm experiencing here.
No matter what media player I use, be it Kodi, SPMC, MX Player, VLC or even directly from the gallery, all playback from local files on the drive (mp4, MKV, avi, divx and so on) is extremely choppy. Frames seem to be dropping, jumping and lagging, making video viewing unbearable. At first I thought it was the media player, but no matter what I settings I adjust the video will stutter. I've tried my own recommended settings, and many different types of combinations but nothing stops it. Believe me, I've spent hours at this! I've even tried changing out the HDMI cable for something better but it's made no difference.
So now I'm pretty confident this is happening at system level and cannot be addressed in the player's settings. There must be a setting somewhere that needs to be addressed to enable better video playback. Please please help me, I am going insane. Or could it be the TV and I should buy a proper HD set?
Either way, help me end this madness please!
Too late to get help before you go insane--you're addicted to Androids.
Do you have the same problem streaming from the internet? That would tell us if it's an input or output problem. Also, don't let's overlook the obvious--are you plugging in the HDD into the USB3 port or the USB2? Have you tried copying a file to a good fast microSD card and playing it from there? (the Samsung EVOs recently dropped in price dramatically). And it might be worth trying out CM12.1 again too. Maybe even trying a different USB cable to the HDD. But you didn't have this problem before you reinstalled RemixOS, did you? I'm rambling but I want to get as many ideas out before my short-term memory loss kicks in. But I would think the MOJO has plenty of horsepower on any Lollipop ROM to play videos at 1080p. Resource hog running in the background? Did you try a task killer?

Thanks for your detailed reply!
1. Playing video via the YouTube app looks fine.
2. The HDD is plugged in via USB2. The CTRLR dongle is in the USB3 slot.
3. Haven't tried playing a file via SD Card. I have a good Sandisk one somewhere and will give it a go. Good idea.
4. Will certainly try a newer USB cable as I do like to eliminate the obvious and easy solutions first where possible. But no, I did not have this issue with the Rpi or the Ouya.
5. I will try a task killer but like you I don't think this is the issue. Going into Remix settings there doesn't seem to be anything reported as taking up a lot of memory.
Two things I have tried since posting. First was playing the same files with OSMC on Rpi2, and second was changing the HQ scaling on the MOJO in SPMC. On OSMC I notice I do seem to have a duff file, one in particular that first got me worried, but I was still getting some judder with other files. As for HQ scaling, my Google Fu reveals the usual recommended setting is 20% rather than the default 0%. But after playing with it, I've put it right up to 70% and this seriously seems to have helped. I'll keep playing and see how it works across different files. It's such a shame that Android doesn't switch the display mode like Linux does on demand.
I don't think it's the fault of Remix any more tbh. I'm pretty sure I can get this right. But there's a lot of trial and error and I have a lot of varying content to cater for. However if all else fails I will indeed give CM 12.1 another go. Unless there's going to be a CM 13 soon....
Again, thanks for your help.
I think first I'd try swapping the dongle and the HDD, see if the USB3 port does it. Next another USB cable, is the HDD USB3 compliant? If so make sure the cable is also.
I wouldn't count on any more development happening for the MOJO. Aside from Mad Catz, there has been only one developer working on it, and I haven't seen any posts from him lately. CM makes it as easy as humanly possible to port their ROM to any given machine, and they publish a guide for it, so next time I have a few months off I might try to aquire that skill. But don't hold your breath.
The HDD is USB2 only. I'm going to try a shorter cable I think, if I can find one in my cupboard, but I'm hoping I've fixed it in the settings for now. I hope so anyway as I really like Remix OS and don't want to change.
No, I don't have any expectation of any further development really. I just remember UJD talking about the possibility of CM13 but that was some time ago. To be honest though if there was never another made for the MOJO, it wouldn't upset me very much. We already have three or four brilliant options on 5.1.1 that are a huge step up from the stock rom.

The HDD is USB2 only. I'm going to try a shorter cable I think, if I can find one in my cupboard, but I'm hoping I've fixed it in the settings for now. I hope so anyway as I really like Remix OS and don't want to change.
No, I don't have any expectation of any further development really. I just remember UJD talking about the possibility of CM13 but that was some time ago. To be honest though if there was never another made for the MOJO, it wouldn't upset me very much. We already have three or four brilliant options on 5.1.1 that are a huge step up from the stock rom. I consider myself very spoilt for choice.

Ya, I feel exactly the same way. FWIW I also feel that way about my Asus TFs; I now have marshmallow ROMs for TF300 and TF700, and the performance from 3 and 4-yr-old tablets is amazing.
