Is Megavideo laggy for anyone, or is it just me? - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello. I recently installed Froyo and subsequently the Flash 10.1 beta on my N1. I was really looking forward to watching tv shows on megavideo, but it seems like just about all the videos I try have horrible audio sync problems. Also, there is a weird crackling sound in the audio. The video plays nice and smooth, its just the audio that lags. So, does anyone else have this issue? Any ideas for a fix? I'm thinking it might just be because flash isn't hardware accelerated yet, but most of the other video sites I try work just fine! Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I've had the same problems! Sometimes it lags, and sometimes it doesn't.. I'm actually quite upset with the performance of Flash, sometimes its perfect.. and other times its simply hell. I hope it is perfect when the final is released..

Yep that's been my experience as well. I've been pretty pleased about the game performance (except I wish Plants vs Zombies would work!!), but video has been hit or miss. I hope they fix it when they turn on the hardware acceleration. Being able to watch all the videos of the web on my phone has been a dream of mine for years...

there's a new application, which DOES NOT require flash player, that is capable of downloading and streaming any megavideo video.. you can find it here:

Video playback on S730

Hi!
I've been reading alot on this forum and im very intersted in the S730, and by reading your posts here the majority seems to think the s730 is a great phone, but noone has said anything considering the video-driver issue in tytnII, whether its a problem in the s730 too?, So how is the video playbak in s730, is it possible to watch a 320x240 movie or TV-series, because i always downsize my shows to 320x240 will i not have any problems?, i currently have an Dell axim x30 which i often use to listen to music or watch movies and it has a 624Mhz processor which gives me smooth video playback, and would hate myself if i bought the s730 and the video playback would be lagging in 320x240...
And also, how is the call quality? is it clear and is the sim-card automatically set up?
thanks in advance...

Watching 320x240 is no problem. CorePlayer (TCPMP) handles it well, all is smooth, the cpu power is enough up to 30 - 33 FPS (MPEG-4 ASP, 300 - 400 kbit/s).
What program are you using to downsize the videos?
They way I am currently doing it is too slow
However video playback is perfect. Even with the full resolution video's it only studders on the video and my audio is solid. (core player as well)
Thanks for the answers, and im pleased to hear that watching videos on th S730 is smooth. I'll probably go for this phone, and hope that you guys continue finding good ways of maximizing the performance in the phone!
An btw when I downsize my series or movies i often use pocketdivxencoder found here http://www.pocketdivxencoder.net/ . But most of the videos i downsize are Family guy and American Dad so im not really sure on how the result of a real movie would be, but i guess if you maximize both the video and audio quality , you would still end up with a reasonable small file with nice quality!
But to my other question, is the call quality good? in other words does it perform well as a phone?, and i read about the memory leak which i hope will get fixed, but will it cause any trouble if i listen to music via the bluetooth A2DP profile when not using any other programs?
Cool, filesize isnt a problem with my 6gb sd card. I'll play with it. My way works but too much hassle.
My old phone was not very good, so I cant speak too much about call quality. I find its very good overall, I had one occation where my connection was bad (kinda remote location with 1 bar signal) and the person on the other end said I was full of static, did clear up though.
Thats the only issue I have had. The earpiece speaker volume could go up a little higher but I have never had problems not being able to understand people.
i used TCPMP with mine, and the 400mhz makes a huge difference
i barely have to convert any video now when i'm watching my shows (usually in 700x200 or something like that)
with steady framerate and quality
if it starts to stutter or slowdown, i just turn the quality a bit lower in the player and it plays back just fine
yeap
Ic watched normal divx's on the phone, so yeah its very good

Problems playing YouTube and other online videos

I just bought the ATT nexus one and I am new to android. My problem is that sometimes when I play YouTube videos it will play only the sound and it will show a frozen screen, however the sound will still play. Then I have to force close the video stream.
Whats weird is that this doesnt happen all the time... other times it works perfectly. This problem isnt just YouTube its any video online that the browser can play. The only thing that I found to rectify this problem is turning off my phone then rebooting. Any advise is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
My problem is watching online videos such as youtube or other videos is that there almost unwatchable.. The sound doesnt sync with the faces and the whole experience makes me feel very not entertained... Actually watching youtube videos is ok, its watching other videos online that lead the bad taste in my mouth. Anyway to improve the video experience?
Is it brand new stock nexus or do you have a different rom? I had an older MoDaCo Sense rom and I had those exact issues, but when I switched to enMothers Rom, havn't had an issues since.
It is a brand new stock rom. I have not rooted it or anything. Just the normal app downloads from the market place. Its only about 2 weeks old.

Lag Help...

So I have an HTC Hero CDMA with Cyanogen Mod 7 rom in it. The rom improved my phone speed but I I have a few questions on how I cold fix the lag that occurs when playing high end games like Angry Birds or other games like that. Whenever I play a high end game, I experience lag, which makes it almost impossible to enjoy playing the game; so I'm wondering if anyone knows on how to fix the lag that occurs when playing a high end game.
Also is there a way to play HQ videos on youtube? I already downloaded the new youtube app when I flashed Cyanogen Mod 7 on my phone but when I try to play a HQ video, the video keeps playing the audio but not the video itself, so again, is there anyway to fix this?
I really appreciate all the help I can get, Thanks.

[Q] HELP!Choppy videoplayback and music player interference

Fellow optimus black and android users.....whenever i try to watch a full movie on the device...halfway through, the video gets choppy(the video plays a little slower) and there is a discernible audio-video lag...it has happened with all the movies i have watched so far(all good quality dvdrips which worked perfectly fine on the laptop).......and adding to it the music player opens randomly and arbitrarily while watching movies..which really is annoying..i dunno why it happens.......i have tried the stock player,mx player as well as mobo player.....but the result is the same....Can anyone help me with this??is this a problem only on my device or are there others out there who have experienced the same?Some help on this issue would be appreciated
P.S:The device is brand new and it's barely a week(as on may 23rd) since i purchased it and have watched 8 movies on this with the same result.
anything under 720p should play just fine. maybe you have some background apps running that might affect the player.
you should update your software. that will surely solve the glitch.
off: how come the cowon d3 which is inferior in terms of specs can play full hd mkv but the ob can't?
Hmmmm.......okk Mr Orange i'll try your suggestion and come back to you..thanks for the tip anyway...........
Sounds like some sort of buffering issue as a result of RAM issues either inherently from hardware or more likely some background services.
Have you tried running the movie in s/w or h/w mode? Changing the bit depth?
What software are you running? Stock Froyo, Gingerbread or a modded OS?
Funky Ganja.....it's gingerbread, the stock version

Nexus 6 Video Playback Lag

Hi all, I wanted to know if anyone else is experiencing this as well as any possible suggestions. I have noticed when watching videos I have recorded on my phone via ANY camera app produce fine videos. When I attempt to watch them, however, there is noticeable stuttering and lag where the video does not completely freeze at all but looks almost slightly jumpy. I have uploaded a few of the videos to YouTube and noticed when watching those there is no stuttering. I have not had the chance to try Playback via PC. Does anyone else notice this? Is the phone just lagging playing the natively recorded video files back? I'm only doing 1080p btw, not 4K. Thanks!

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
mine plays back my 4K recorded videos just fine(of course its not in 4K on the phone when watching)..
Bump! I have this same issue. I thought it was my video recording choppy, but now that I checked on another device I see it's a playback problem. I'm on 5.1.1 T-Mobile Motorola phone.
Anyone? I still have this problem, which is only playback related. If I can give MX player to play the videos things are fine, but somehow Photos eventually takes neck default control and its a pain in my ass!
