[Q] How Does flash player work on your device/ROM? - LG Optimus 2x

Been enjoying Gr4 for the last few days (great ROM) but just like with stock v20e b4, im experiencing bad flash performance. I cannot do more than 360p on youtube and on youtube test page at http://www.youtube.com/my_speed i get [email protected] and a miserable 4fps on 720p. Back in august when i tried a cm nightly, i remember having fluid 720p playback on yt but never again since then. It clearly seems to not use any hw acceleration at all, hence the slideshow. Has anybody else noticed that or actually been able to get fluid youtube hd (or any HD flash video streaming) performance lately? Is there some specific fix to this (considering the newest flash 11 too)? Appreciate any input.
peace

i'm on stock rom v10e and it sucks when play 720p on youtube with o2x. max 480p of flash player can be played on o2x

This is not quite true, on CM7 (some late august nightly) my o2x was running 720p youtube videos with no problem. There's got to be something we are missing

Yeah, same happens to me. I remember trying that nightly and 720p videos were smoothly played on youtube :S

laggy when playing 720p, i think the stock rom is always lag to play flash player. maybe CM and MIUI can player better then stock

[Q] Problem with hardware mode, but not software mode

Hello,
I have LG P990 with stock froyo.
When I play a xvid video (not HD), the video is smooth and the sound is ok but there is a constant 1 sec desynchrnisation. There is the same issue with RockLite player in hardware decoding mode, but in software decoding mode, the video is fine !!
How to solve this?
MIUI+Celebration+HD+2.0.5+DE-EN+iphone+Beta+2+signed
I have MIUI+Celebration HD+2.0.5 on my LG Speed and yes it´s a better version of Miui. Even better Galnet´s MIUI, and i can send the web link too those who wanna it.
What is the relation between your answer and my question? And for most people the leaked v20e or topogigi rom is the best choice.
No problem here, I converted a 1080p mkv song to xvid and it played perfectly without any audio delay. Try playing the file with Mxvideo player, thats the best media player for me.
I use Mx player too ! For all videos, I can always play them with either Hw or software mode.
Are you on stock or a custom rom. If on stock update it to the latest version.

[Q] Which Firmware Enables HP4.1 720p MKV for P990?

Hi ive tried searching thru google I know that definitely the su660 has official LG firmware that allows it to play 4.1 High Profile MKV.
My question is did LG ever release a firmware with the same ability to play Hi Profile 4.1 Mkv for the Optimus 2x p990 and which firmware is it?
Id like to stay with stock firmware before i try custom roms.
Even diceplayer has a condition on its app page that HW acceleration will depend on the firmware so Please point me to the right stock firmware as most of my mkvs are HP 4.1.
And my low power pc is not strong enough for re-encoding.
This is my first android phone so please be nice i really tried searching thru all the forums before posting this question.
this forum post gave me some hope but the question hasnt been answered till now.
I just need 720p HP 4.1
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1076867
The playback for 720p HP H.264 is still crappy and laggy because of the Tegra 2 not supporting that profile in h/w decoding. I don't know if there exists any firmware, that can smoothly playback those files. The only thing that could perhaps speed up playback is overclocking the cpu.
Youtube videos in 720p, that can be played within the browser are extremely laggy.
720p can only be played on base profile not high profile4.1

As said above, you might want to try MX Video Player that has codecs specifically designed for tegra2, still it will be software decoding but with oc you can still play them in 720p.
not only mx video player, but mobo player has also additional codec

[i9001] 720p mkv playback problem

Guys, i have a problem with my i9001.
My phone is rooted and i installed the gpu "new" drivers from the development page. I have upgraded from 2.3.3 that comes default when i buy it to 2.3.5 through KIES, not through ODIN, so it's with vodafone ****s or whatever.
Anyway, the problem is the following:
I want to watch some mkv .720p tv shows on it (like dexter, supernatural, etc) and i tried with a couple of players but every single player will decode the mkv in "SW mode" not hardware, so it won't play properly and it will lag. I tried with bsplayer, mx video player, mobo player pro and even DICEPLAYER (the full version).
So, any ways of playing 720p smooth ? i guess it's because of Adreno 205 which is weaker than Galaxy S gpu.
Come on, 130 views and no replies? sorry for double posting.
Oh, and i didn't installed any "speed" scripts like adrenaline shot or whatever.
Fact is i just bought the phone and i don't want to lose my warranty already. Do i lose it when i install adrenaline shot for instance ?
Update: My actual ROM is I9001BUKP2, which is Vodafone branded and my phone is simlocked (most likely).
Can this be the problem ?
Update 2: Very weird thing happened. I put an episode from The Walking Dead, 350 mb .avi to run with MX Video Player and surprise, even .avi LAGS in hardware decoder, but i'm lucky that MX Video Player got S/W Decoder FAST and it played almost smoothly (95%, still little fps drops).
After that, i tried with an episode of Grimm, this time 720p, .mkv but WEB-DL (even more better than normal 720p releases of groups like IMMERSE, CTU, etc) and the HARDWARE DECODER went AVAILABLE this time, but it lags terribly. I tried with S/W Decoder FAST and lol, it worked almost smoothly.
So, what the hell is the problem ?
Could it be my I9001BUKP2 firmware ? it's official, updated with KIES, i guess it's the same as this one on XDA.
bumpy ^^ ........
still bump .... come on :|
Update: I am now with XXKPS 2.3.6, still the same problems. MKV 720p are laggy, and every single .avi movie is laggy in hardware decoder as well. only softare decoder can decode avi movies to be smooth, but 720p still be laggy.
hey guys .. i curently have feamod v.1.3 based on CWM 5 0 2 7 .... what change if i flash 1.4 ? i use cranium RC7 update 1 with kernel v6 cranium 1900 ghz
but i wanna flash broodrom RC2 final but i don'w know what kernel to use... is v6 1900 cranium ok wit broodrom ?
Well then, how about re-encoding your movies using e.g. xmedia recode or SUPER or whatever? Choose a lower resolution. That's a phone, don't expect it to play HD content - on the small screen that does not make any sense at all.
Well, for others it works perfectly, only i seem to have problems. And anyway, samsung is reporting that this phone can run 720p movies without a problem.
@arialth, GET THE **** OUT.
Sent from my GT-I9001 using XDA App
same issue here, i tried a 720p movie on my i9001 and it used SW decoding in mx player.
I noticed one thing though, after installing mx, it didnt ask for any codec to be installed, i expected it to ask me to install the ARM7 codec??
Same problem here, the moment you want to watch a 720p mkv video you can't use HW decoder.
I am using 0.1.0 cm10 ROM from Ivendor with 3.0 Kernel.
Use VLC, it supports hardware decoding of all media formats.

Already tried that, I've done some search around and I think it just can't handle a 720p mkv.
Bear in mind that the I9001 has a better CPU but a worser GPU, so it's possible the I9000 is able to handle 720p mkv better.

Also, Samsung does indeed report that the device can run 720p movies in mp4 or whatever format.
Seeing as they're own video player doesn't have a mkv codec it is possible there just isnt mkv hardware support.

Note Unable to play MKV Files.

Hi. I Flashed my note a month back with the Checkrom v5 Rom, suddently my stock video player is unable to play MKV files and the MX video player can only play them in SW mode. I tried to reflash, and everything seemed fine at first but after a day I exprienced the same problem, now im thinkin maybe I must go back to stock Rom, its really annoying cuz i liked that ROM, any suggestions?
Yea I noticed this as well, didn't bother me too much to play it in SW on MX but I could never find a fix for it. I just moved to ICS and was done with it lol.
Try BS Player Light or Dice Player - both are capable of playing mkv containers HW accelerated, handling dual audio, embedded subtitles and play HD content.

not many problems
Teamrocket v1.5 beta but it's not straight forward flash and it's tricky to go back to GB.I get an odd short freeze with skyfire browser but not with ics browser.

[Q] Galaxy and playing 720p .mkv movies

hi
First of all i want to say that i don't wana to use players like bsplayer, dice player or mx player.
I want to watch a movie in built-in player or m video player.
The thing is that these movies are working good on stock 2.2.1.
And one time is working for me on 2.3.6 (but i forgot on what rom and now i can't find it)
Maby some one know what to do to watch that type of movies.
MX player play this only in Sw mode.
One developer say's that this is maby kernel feature.
I think this could be some video drivers.
I recall that GamerzRom was able to play 720p mkv very well, but not with a stock player, it was with Moboplayer rather.
I don't think any stock player will be able to play 720p mkvs, due to the lack of hardware decoding support without proper codecs (Samsung does slap in quite a few already, but unfortunately not for MKV IIRC, presumably due to it possibly sucking too much RAM).
I guess your best bet would be to try that ROM with a 3rd party player like MoboPlayer, Dice player or MX player.
ok, i like the rom , video speed is little better but it still lagging and played in software mode
look at the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dz-mh1RzmpA
It works just fine for me. On ICS CM9 with mx player. Very smooth and clear!

maby more info?
becouse i don't think that .mkv is playing smoothly for u.
Try this: http://www.nyaa.eu/?page=torrentinfo&tid=322020
Diceplayer
i'm using devil kernel with XL memory and without any problems. 720p videos work perfectly with Video player and Diceplayer.
So try and see if devil kernel helps you out too.
Good Luck
for me on CM9+devil's kernel 720p movies runs smooth without any problems, I'm using MXplayer.
slim ics + devil3 +mx player or dice player and video playback (.mkv,anime) is terrible.
