i usually used my TP to stream video and audio from my desktop, within web os, it worked flawlessly, now after i moved on to cm9 i also downloaded splashtop HD on to the cm9, however, there is this strange lagging while streaming in cm9. the webos splashtop seems to work fine, but on the android version has that problem, i also have a galaxy tab that i have splashtop on which works fine, so it's clearly something with the cm9 that i've installed, and i've searched the forum, and googled, but not many people seemed to have experienced the issue.
Here's what i have tried so far.
set the cpu governor to performance to keep the cpu frequency as max at all times.
Installed wifi mod from this forum.
but still having issue.
anyone have any ideas?????
try switching your IP to a static IP.

I just picked up a Nook and rooted it immediately so I could watch video on it. Right now I am just running Stock 1.1. I have some video files in .AVI format that I want to watch on it, but while the video is pretty smooth, the sound is totally out of sync by 1-3 seconds it seems.
I have tried RockPlayer which trashes the video and still has the sync issue. Using Software decode mode as the Hardware mode doesn't work.
Vitalplayer's video (again software) is virtually perfect, but the audio is still out of sync.
Mvideoplayer doesn't work at all, probably due to no codecs being installed on the device.
So my question is this: Is there a way to fix it? Reading through ROM threads it seems that none of them really have video playing nailed down. CM7 says to use Rockplayer as a workaround (uses FFMpeg), but if it doesn't even work on stock, what are the chances it will work in that?
Any ideas?
Thanks
I have the same problem.
I haven't tried this on 1.1, but on 1.0.1 I ran the videos through Handbrake using some of the settings suggested in the thread below and that seemed to help.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=894165
Was hoping that performance with Rockplayer would be good enough to not have to do that. I have the settings for HB and will try them tonight.
Now if CM7 could just get DSP and codecs this might be a non-issue.

I use Handbrake and use the ipod touch setting. It works great - sound is in sync with video. NC 1.1 rooted with Auto-nooter 3.0.0
Thanks for the help everyone. Using the Handbrake settings that I was pointed at was the perfect solution. Ran a Fringe episode through and watched it on the train this morning.
Everything perfectly in sync.
Thanks again.
Alternative Approach
I am using a dual boot. The standard video player on the NookColor works very well.
My Gtab works great with CM 10.1 and enjoying the 4.2.2 It gave life again to this tablet. I downloaded/installed xbmc 12.2 but every time I try to start it it crashes. It never worked!
Any one aware of such problem? I tried to uninstall and install, clear data and cache of the app but in vain.
I would love to get it to work. It works on my 4.1 devices (Galaxy S3 and Google TV device).

Two Points...
One: How can you boast of new life, when 4.2.2 breaks Bluetooth, and the Front Camera, as well as the Wired Headset Button?
Two: XBMC 12 isn't really fixed on Android yet. (i.e. Hardware Acceleration), XBMC 13 (Gotham), addresses those issues, but being in Alpha its still quite unstable... Till its not. Sadly we just have to wait until Gotham gets released. My guess would be sometime in April.

well compare to how slow it was on GB I am so happy with the JB version. I don't use bluetooth on my Gtab, it's mostly used for surfing the web, watching tv/movies, and social media.
As far as XBMC, I am using it on my Galaxy S3 and it's working with few issues, but at least it starts up and run. I read many posts of other users who have XBMC running on their GTab and I was wondering what am I missing. It crashes right away, never makes it to the user interface!
I'm having a major problem and I can't seem to figure out the issue :\
I've been using Avia + Chromecast without issue for weeks.
However, recently I'm having an issue where all of the sudden the video playback goes to crap and things start playing at a slideshow rate.
Once things go wrong there is no recovering. If I play the movie on a tablet or my phone it works fine. As soon as I try to cast it through Avia though it takes forever to load and then when it finally does play it's a choppy mess. Restarting the Chromecast has no effect. Restarting the device I was using to cast also has no effect. The network is showing full speed ahead (21 down) and everything plays smoothly on any of the Android devices until I try to cast it.
The only thing that fixes the problem is restarting my router. I don't understand how it could be a router problem though because if that were the case wouldn't the speed drop, and why would everything play smoothly on the individual devices themselves?
I have also tried using AllCast to see if it's an Avia problem but the same thing happens. It'll work great, I stream an entire movie in high and then once I move onto the next piece of media/movie all of the sudden it's like the Chromecast gets confused and that's all she wrote until I restart the router :crying:
I have AT&T Uverse and my connection averages 20+ down.
I have the following devices connected to my network and the problem occurs casting from any of the Android devices eventually:
Computer
Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (4.3)
Samsung Galaxy S3 (4.3)
LG G Pad 8.3 (4.2.2)
Google Nexus 7 (2012) (4.4.2)
Motorola Droid X (2.3.4)
Sony Blu-Ray Player
Does anyone have any clue what could be causing the problem?

We do not discuss s***box, but I'll try to address your general network issue.
Sounds like either there's some cascading failure like packet repetition death or throttling.
If your router has any WiFi optimizations like WMM, try toggling that. Also look for QoS (Quality of Service) functions too.

Removed the reference to forbidden app, thanks for the head's up.
I'll check my options to see if any of your suggestions will help. Thanks :good:
Dear all,
Lately I experience a lot of crashes/problems playing video.
I'm using a s3 mini, with a quite up-to-date CM11 custom ROM. It's rooted, and in general it works rather smooth. The only thing, to maintain an acceptable battery life, I use greenify and Deep Sleep Battery Pro + some tasker stuff to finetune what I believe is necessary to run (or not) while sleeping of when display is off. (like: airplane mode at night, no wifi when I'm not at home).
My problems occur using MX Player as a video player.
(1) SHOULD H/W+ decoder work with CM11 on i8910?
Using H/W+ decoder for sure crashes MX Player from the moment it starts to play.
Using H/W decoder works when I don't touch any settings, but for sure it doesn't work all the time.
Playing video's on S/W decoder doesn't look reliable. Sometimes it works, sometimes it causes major problems with video and sound not synchronized.
As I don't know for sure how it works:
(2) Is decoding done by firmware or by software I need to install myself? Are 'all' players using the same decoders?
(3) When I stream video's, it seems to work much better. Youtube or Plex, most of the time I can use it without problems. But since about a month, Plex is giving me more and more problems. Mostly video/audio not in sync / video's which just won't be played by plex. But I can't figure out if it's a Plex-related problem, a decoder-related problem or a problem with the original video-files.
Maybe logcat and MX Player-log in attachment can help.
Any advise with troubleshooting or finding a solution is welcome.
(4) Lately I read somewhere that video-crash could be an issue with CM11, which could be solved with going back to CM10.2 What do you think about that? And do you think CM10.2 can give the same overall mini-experience as CM11?
Thanks for reading and helping out.
About H/W+ decoder, it never worked for me either ok anything based on CM 11.

I have yet to find a ROM where the sound doesn't lag the video on the Netflix app. Even using the custom kernels makes no difference.
If I go back to the stock Nook HD+ ROM, there's no audio lag at all.
Really frustrating as I'd love to run a custom ROM but primarily use the Nook HD+ for surfing the web, youtube and Netflix.
All three Nook HD+ I've had have the same issue so it's not an issue with a specific device.
Any suggestions?

I have used CyanogenMod (now running 11.2 M8) for over a year with no such audio issues.
I've been running verygreen's CM 10.1 almost a year now and ran netflix a bunch
of times, with no problems.
brand new to this... just installed CM 11 latest nightly build for the first time on the Nook HD+. All seems fine, except I notice this problem too. Audio lags in Netflix. Bummer.
Well, audio can lag over cable TV as well as other stuff. If anyone could ever truly solve the problem because they can't.
Maybe background service(s) from other app(s) doing something funky as they can run during the video (for instance email can still be received during playback). You didn't say if it was a fresh new install with the least amount of installed apps possible (most controlled environment possible) . Bn rom unless rooted (I guess) wouldn't have access to all the same apps that could be installed.
There could be other differences as well that you haven't taken into account. Is the stream running at the same quality? Are all the nook apps (including internal like gapps) fully updated on the bn rom? It could be that the newer versions are more taxing on the hardware. Etc. All theoretical but what else is there with no concrete answer.

It was a fresh install. I only have a handfull of apps. All apps are current.
