[Q] Flash Video Playback - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Greeting from the Charge forum.
I recently tried out a Gingerbread based leak on the Charge and found the Flash video playback to be significantly slower on Gingerbread with or without Voodoo lag fix enabled or disabled.
I don't know if the problem is the leak, phone specific, Gingerbread, or Flash player. I just don't have enough exposure to Gingerbread.
Having said that, I know the Captivate is a much more mature device.
So my question is how does Flash video playback on the Captivate compare between Froyo or gingerbread?
Try this trailer:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRdxXPV9GNQ
On EE4 (Froyo) with or without lag fix I get smooth frame rates up to and including 720p.
On EP1W (Gingerbread) it's unplayable in 480p and okay (not perfect) in 360p.
Let me know if you get smooth frame rate in 720 or 480p.
Again, these test are in the browser, not the Youtube app. It requires your browser to be in desktop view mode.

If I turn my CPU up to 1440 its smooth. Anything lower its choppy in 720. Smooth at 360 no matter what I'm set to.

I assume you are runing on a Gingerbread rom/kernel. Do you or anyone else happen to have a Froyo rom/kernel for comparison?

Yeah I'm on miui right now. If no one shows up by end of night in a couple hours ill flash to a froyo n let you know.

I'm on stock KH3(latest leaked GB2.3.4) and no OC/UV and no lagfix as there isn't one for it at the moment! its fine at 720P

Great news. So we know that your getting hardware acceleration with Flash video playback. We know that Gingerbread supports hardware acceleration and Flash.
The question is what settings/configuration do you have on your phone that tells Flash to use your hardware (Hummingbird) to accelerate video playback.
Perhaps M3drvr and I can try build.prop edit?

I have used to V8 supercharger for the KAK tweaks and 3G booster and lag nuliifier

I'm on apex 9.3 and do not have any issues with lag. Runs just fine in high quality.

You are running from the Youtube app. I am talking about running Flash video from the Flash player within your browser at 720p.
Try again, and report your results.

You are correct in that I was using the YouTube app and I tried the mobile youtube website before as well without any issues. Although when I switched over to desktop mode, I can't select the 720p setting. I tried on the stock browser as well as DolphinHD browser and when I click on the quality button to select the 720p setting the menu flashes for a sec and then goes away. Not to sure why it does that. Never had that issue before.

Can you post/host/upload your build.prop?
I'd like to see if I can trick Adobe Flash.
Thanks.

Trying it
Indeed faster. On 2.2.1. I imagine it would be even faster on 2.3
All works here on darky's 9.3....seems a bit faster!
OMG smooth 720p flash videos with this one !
Just incredibly slow with 10.1.. A big leap indeed
anyone able to add the apk?
Yep, it's working much smoother for me on Darky's 9.3. It drains substantially more battery though...

Choppy videos with overcome?

Maybe this is just me because I didn't find anything similar after searching the forum...
Videos played smoothly on the stock froyo rom, but after I moved to overcome 2.0.0 RC1, I noticed videos would play with intermittent choppiness.
I figured out that unchecking the "SD: Speed tweak" in the Tweaks app fixed the issue.
Hope this is helpful.
I actually have this issue as well. I see stutter every 30 seconds - 1 minute or so. Was silky smooth before. Hope this one gets sorted, as apart from that Overcome is awesome.
depending on the material youre playing there are some issues right now. search for "stagefright". Changing with blade buddy is the easiest way i think.

I's not overcome related. Even with the stock rom you have this problem.

I meant stuttering
Stuttering, that was the word I was looking for.
Thanks zetsurin for your accurate description.
In any case, my mix of 720p MP4 videos and 480p and 1080p AVI videos all play smoothly now.
And yes, overcome rocks! It gave me a new tablet.

[Q] Flash 11 slower than 10.3

Anyone notice that after updating Adobe Flash to 11 from 10.3 video playback seems more choppy?
I can barely play 480 line videos now.
I use 10.3.185.25. It's the only one that will play online video using cm7 based roms
11.1 can play on miui, but have several problems , even with 10.3, adobe and flash sucks

Where can I find that version ?
I'm now using 10.3.186.7, downgraded and haven't looked back.
Sure, its not the greatest but 11 is total ballz.
Just do a search for "Adobe Flash 10.3 apk" eventually you'll hit x.186.7
The best version for me is com.adobe.flashplayer.v10.2.157.51.apk. But I still can't play 720p videos smooth, on youtube from browser. Can somebody help with that? if it's possibile.

Your device wouldn't benifit from playing it in 720 so wtf would be the point, best your small screen would do is 480.

There is a diffrence is in the coding i think. 720p looks better eventhough the screen is only 480p.

Lol....no.
@Forforce when you connect via hdmi the image is upscaled very well you would not notice the difference between 480 upscaled and 720 besides that the roms that do support 720 flash in the browser still don't do it very well so performance will still be choppy and isn't worth using 720 over 480. Maybe ICS will change somethings and support it better but i doubt it.

Is the flash performance really supposed to be so bad?

Sometimes even 480 p lags and 720 p is like a slideshow. I am using stock rom v20b 2.3.4. Is the performance so bad because of the stock rom or what?

I have the same problem , tried with many versions of stock based roms and kernels and different flash player versions but no luck. Now using django manouche rom with stock kernel, best till now with flash player v11 but max 480p videos from yt. witch 720p it's terrible. anybody?
p.s. my friend has galaxy s and the same video from youtube in browser it's working very good even at 720p. Why?

I'm using a modded stock rom and never lag at 480p so try a different rom.
Stop whining about 720p I've seen many vids of those so called sgs playing 720 and it does lag besides that you don't notice the difference on a small screen and for HDTV out it's upscaled so stfu about it. It lags because it's flash.....in a browser perfectly normal.
ICS with real hw acceleration might fix this but who knows and who cares.

Best decision!

Is ICS/Note this laggy?

I"m looking at this video and that's what i got out of it. Or could it be the video framerate?

It lags.

for me stock lpy rooted+tweaks+apex launcher no laggs, smooth, bug-free,even better than GB. It lags because he was taking video with screencapture.
Yeah, that video doesn't make rights to Galaxy Note. Even stock Gingerbread is pretty smooth, thought some lagging occurs here and there. ICS on the other hand is very smooth and it gets better if you install custom rom of it (Asylum ICS).
