ok so i recently flashed phiremod v3,the latest cm7 nightly and hc v4 and none of them seem to support video... i cant watch videos on youtube (website not app) yahoo or anywhere. any suggestions? thanks.
did you install flash? I have phiremod v2 with flash installed (from market) and youtube website works fine for me.
flash
yeah i made sure i downloaded flash from the market but i keep getting an error message saying this video cannot be played...
At this time CM7, phiremod (based on CM7) and brianf21's customized nookie 0.6.8 do not support video natively. They hope to fix that in future releases.
Since video is important to me, and not everything I watch is flash, I went back to customized nookie 0.6.7 and installed dalingrin's latest kernel. I'll get occassional FC, especially if advance or go back in video (fixed by reboot), but at least video plays.
video
ok thanks alot. i just wanted to make sure its not just something wrong with my device. im not so worried about the video as i still have my android phone, this is just a toy lol. but thanks again for the info.
Also HC doesn't have DSP either. Nookie 0.6.8 (DSP introduced in 0.6.7) worked when I tried but has a very small stutter like something occasionally running in the background. Went to Nook 1.1.0 rooted and can notice the small difference. A OC kernel might have fixed the problem but didn't try.
I have a NookColor rooted 1.0.1 not 1.1 because i dont want to install clockwork and then have it stuck on the device and i cant install updates. So whenever i use an app, the sound is usually out of sync. For example, jetcarstunts is really really bad and the sound is out of sync by a few seconds. in fruit ninja there is barely any sound out of sync its only out by a few milliseconds, not really noticeable. But in angry birds seasons, sound is out of sync by a second or 2. Im going to post a youtube video in a few minutes.
does anyone know why? and i cant post videos until 8 posts, just joined but i know a lot about android, i just used droidforums before. go to my channel on youtube, nintendofan123456
anybody know?
I have the same issue with my rooted 1.1, but it occurs only in some games, video and other apps work fine.
I also have the same issue with autonooted 1.1
Same issue with autonooted 1.1 with 1.1Ghz OC kernel.
Thought it was becouse of OC... maybe bug in audio drivers ?
Very annoying in some games\sound making apps
Ya I updated to 1.1 and tested out some apps and they still did the same things. Then I did the Oc all the way to 1.1 ghz thinking maybe it was skipping frames because it was too slow but it didn't fix it im getting really annoyed. Could we get some devs to check this out? And also I will be posting some more youtube videos with other apps and I will put them here. But for now I really want some devs looking into this.
I have the same problem..I have tried different versions of angry birds, but it has the same problem. For others games prepared for Galaxy Tab, NC performed excellent..
P.S It also occurs in CM7 or phiremod v4
Greetings. Quick question. Does anyone else have audio sync issues using Netflix on CM10.1? Or can anyone running stock confirm whether Netflix is ok on stock or has the same problem? My audio runs behind the video by a second or so which is incredibly annoying. I tried different streaming settings but none improved it.
I am running Netflix 2.3.2 build 932 on verygreen 10.1 native EMMC
Thanks!
Chris
No replies so I just reflashed with the stock ROM and Netflix works perfectly - no audio sync problems like there are on CM10.1
Netflix works perfectly for both stock 1.2 and CM 10.1 for me. I notice Stock lags when I press the n button and CM 10.1 lags on subtitles. So I guess both have problems

I tried it today and mine seems to work just fine. I am using CM10.1-20130628 and Netflix version 2.3.2 build 932.
I also have the sound lag on Netflix. I'm using cm-10.1-20130706 and Netflix 2.3.2 build 932.

I have the same 10.1 & Netflix version 2.3.2 and Netflix goes to a grey screen with nothing shown except the Nook controls. I eventually get a Netflix isn't responding Do you want to close prompt. If I wait it does nothing.
Update: I installed 1.8.1 of Netfix and it works, then tried to update to 2.3.2. It loads run as far as letting me select program I want to watch, but when it runs the program the screen is chopped into 3 pieces with various parts displayed incorrectly. Went back to 1.8.1 but when played it will play for a period then stop and show buffering, then startup again. CM7 didn't have this problem.
FIX HERE
Problem persists but I have finally found a fix!
Install the following Xposed HACK and it will trick Netflix into thinking you are running Android 4.0 and this fixes the audio sync / lip sync / audio delay problems that I have experienced on the Nook HD with Cyanogenmod 10.1.

Note I have only tried this on a Nook HD using CM 10.1.3 stable. I have no idea whether it works or not on HD+ or other ROMs.
I recently upgraded to the latest SDCard version of CM 11 (available in the android development thread). I used to have CM 10.1, but the SD card got corrupted, so I decided to upgrade with a new sandisk class4 8GB card.
Most of the apps work fine (though at times there is a bit of a lag). Youtube works great.
However, I noticed that I am unable to play any video files - whether video is stored in sdcard or in the internal storage emmc - using any of the available video players like MX player, MOBO, VLC, Android, ESFile as well as the stock player. Most of them give the same error message "unfortunately mx player stopped". I tried MKV, AVI and MP4 formats. I tried changing between H/W decode and S/W decoding and downloaded the codecs also.
But, the same video could be played using the stock ROM using the same apps (MX Player, VLC etc.) flawlessly.
I tried wiping data/cache, reinstalling the app/codec etc. multiple times, still has the same issue.
Please help. According to the play store, MX player is compatible with android 4.4.3.
Is anyone else having similar issues with CM11? Do I need to downgrade to CM 10.2 or 10.1?
Also I noticed that a number of applications like banking, paypal, hulu+ etc. are unavailable for CM11 (and some even for the stock ROM). Any idea why? I know hulu+ used to work on 10.1 earlier.
Thanks in advance.

Hulu plus is available with cm11 on my phone but yes its shows that its not available on the nook hd+. There could be a way or two around that. One is to change the device name so google store thinks its something else and the other is to try sideloading - but the apps could be incompatiable with the tablet layout perhaps - its hard to say.
Videos run fine from cm11 emmc so don't know what's happening there. Videos can not be used with some things due to a size limit of say 2GB (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1714021) or other things. mkv, avi, mp4 are just containers and so perhaps they are compatible or perhaps they are not.
There could be another problem too perhaps with how the sdcard is formatted.
Some odd things sometimes.
I reinstalled everything from scratch using the latest version of sdcard kitkat rom from this forum and the video started working, but now chrome keeps crashing. After I removed chrome, when I try to reinstall it, I keep getting insufficient storage error, even after clearing using various cache cleaners. Earlier I could remove stuff from app-lib folder to get around this issue, now I am not even finding app-lib folder under /data.
Following are my observations from the last 3-4 days
- Interface is really laggy
- apps keep getting foce closed
- too many random reboots
- Suddenly one of my home screens (out of 3) vanished after one of those random reboots
I have a 3 year old touchpad with cm 10 which appears to be a lot more stable than the one running on nook (even cm 10.1 wasn't very stable on nook when I used it from sd card, I thought it was due to bad sd card, so I tried a new sdcard -sandisk class 4 as recommended here).
Really frustrated with cm 11 so far. May be I will go with an ipad instead.

Have you tried an internal (emmc) install yet? In my mind, there's no practical reason not to. Stock nook OS is awful.
Or just get an ipad. Those are great.

I have heard sdcard sometimes works better. I wiped everything clean and did a reinstall with minimal number of apps and everything seems to be fine now including chrome and MX player. Thanks to everyone for providing helpful suggestions.
I have one more question,
Can I configure an SD card with cm11 and send it to someone elsewhere with an HD+? This person may not be able to do his own install of cm11, so I was thinking of sending the working copy of cm to him, so that he can just insert the card in the slot and reboot without having to worry about doing their own install.
Will it work? Or do they need to do anything special so that they can see the contents of emmc?

It will work. The only issue with doing that is they will have the same MACAddress as you. That is not really a problem unless you both try to connect to the same wifi network at the same time. Also don't register with Google with your account. Make a fresh install and either register with their credentials or don't register.

I use Poweramp for my music playing needs, and it works great, but when I open Chrome or Facebook, the system automatically shuts off the music. I hate this, and I have tweaked every possible option in the Poweramp configuration to keep the service alive, but nothing works. I can understand that the device starts shutting down other software when running out of RAM, but I would expect it not to close the media player app.
Does anyone have a fix for this?
The same happens to me with Google play music too. But some times the music playback stops even when I'm not multitasking, meaning I play music and lock screen and listen thru my headsets.
Any thoughts?

Same problem here. Happens with several music players including Poweramp and Shuttle so it's not necessarily a bug within the music players themselves.
This will happen to me even when there is 150-200MB of RAM free, so it seems strange that it feels the need to close these background apps.
I am now rooted with a custom ROM, but this happened even beforehand, I had hoped rooting would help matters, sadly not.
I assume all of your music is on an external SD card? Have you tried playing music from the internal storage?
I have my music in my internal storage only and yet it happened.
For the last two days play back is smooth after I updated to Play Music from Lollipop.☺☺

Strange, I couldn't recreate the problem when playing off internal storage. I will have to try another SD card and see if the problem persists.
-------------------------
I'm fairly sure its an issue with my external SD card. I moved a few albums onto my internal storage and could not recreate the problem despite keep as many high RAM usage apps open as possible.
I switched back to using music on the SD card this morning and it crashed within minutes. All of this has been tested using Poweramp.
I can think of a few things to try and will report back
Try Internal storage - Success! Unable to recreate the problem. However not a brilliant solution as I have only 5GB of usable internal storage.
Accessing over 20GB of music - Try a smaller subset of folders - Problem still occurs.
Using a 64GB SD card, reformatted to FAT32. Try smaller 32GB SD card. - will report back when I have tried this

I will try the free version of that app anyway, just to be sure, thanks.
Pandora and Play Music also stops for me when I launch Clash or Clans but they both keep playing when I launch the Chrome browser and view some pages. All the apps I mentioned are installed on internal memory.
So, for me, any music-playing app (including streaming apps) stops when I launch certain apps but not when I launch other apps.
Also happens for me. A reboot will suppress the problem for quite some time
I am thinking it might really be memory manager problems.

I did experience one single crash while playing music off internal memory, but it happens 10x as often when playing off external SD card, so I guess that's not the only issue here.
If it was purely a memory manager problem, then why does altering the priority of poweramp make no difference to the crashing?

Guys,
This is a memory management problem in moto g.....There is a moto forum post regarding this.. Here is the link https://forums.motorola.com/posts/6168839e0e ..Please make some noise so that they fix it with an update.. This happens not only with music app but also with other background apps...Cant play music while surfing...
Same problem.
Any active music player crashes once I start web browsing. It is very annoying. Please has anyone found a solution. I've tried all possible solutions such as, clearing app cache, wiping dalvik cache from bootloader, reinstalling the music player. Nothing has helped as yet. Also can't really multi task with the phone right now. It seems that any process that is not in focus is stopped in sometime.
Off topic, even asphalt 8 does not run proprlerly, it too crashes in between races. Think it is related to the same issue.
Thanks.

Well if it really is purely a memory manager problem it may be related to another issue I have:
Often, when locked, pressing the power button takes 5-10 for the phone to wake. when it does, I am usually greeted with the "com.android.systemui isn't responding" message.
Anybody else also experiencing this problem? (note: you won't see the message unless you have "Show all ANRs" ticked under Settings->Developer options)

Yes, it happens to me as well. I hope Motorola fixes this.
I guess this might be a stupid question but has anyone tried using ART? I believe the memory management varies between ART and dalvik (although I don't understand the exact differences).
I'll probably try this over the next couple of days in any case to see if there's a noticeable difference.
Looking for solution
I'm on ART and haven't seen any differance.
So I tried freezing some Moto system apps (though it might be bad for the system) to free up some RAM. After that I've installed Auto Memory Manager and tweaked some minfree and OOM settings. So far so good. Tested out Spotify stream in background with Chrome tabs open and switching and taking pictures with the Camera app. Chrome Tabs still refresh when i switch in between but the music still runs in background.
How about you guys?

Hey thanks for the tip. I installed Auto Memory Manager and did some tweaks. I'm using rocker player, I also doubled its buffer and white listed it in auto memory manager. I'm running dalvik, its working better. It still quits but not untill i open more than 4 tabs on chrome and do multi tasking.
Also for any music player, if you swipe it out is recent tasks the music stops. Which never happened it the earlier versions of android.
So try a trick, swipe the music player out of recent tasks and start music from headset button of wedget, then see if the playback stops while browsing, for me it hasen't yet.
If possible please try out and confirm whether it works or not.
OK I tried patching my memory manager to make sure my players don't get killed. It worked, but now chrome gets really laggy when I am using it while playing music. It might be the system causing lots of memory leaks when accessing external SD. I noticed that ES remote manager also gets killed if on background when copying large files to external SD.
Chrome is ofc smooth with material design and stuff, but man it sure uses a heck loads of memory. I'm using Dolphin as default now

This would make a lot of sense since there is a massive difference in the frequency of music player crashes when playing off internal vs external.
Anything we can do about it?
