I m trying to play 720p mkv videos with my LG optimus 4xhd. The performance is mostly decent in terms of both audio and video but there is sometimes little lagging and twitch in both audio and video. I have tried many different video players and MX player with hw acceleration has offered by far the best performance. It would still be desirable to have lag free video experience so, I would like to know if there is any way to do this with optimus 4xhd, or do I just have to accept that having a PC like flawless video experience with tegra 3 device just is not possible?
I am currently on CM 10.1 RC2 rom and have rooted and unlocked the bootloader.
Thanks for your help in advance.

It's probably ROMs bug, try some newer nightie. I'm on JB and i play 1080p with absolutely no problem so it's not hardware associated problem. I use BS player.
I would like to stick with RC versions since at least since I last checked about a week ago, there was some gps and bluetooth audio problems for me with latest nighty version at that time. In RC 3 and 4 I on the other hand lost IMEI and could not make phone calls, but if there is no other way, I guess I have to give latest nighty version a shot, since if I remember correctly, I had this problem with both LG stock roms as well.
And I have also tried BS player, but still in some parts there is slightly noticeable lag sometimes.

Hi i bought my DS7 a while ago and I upgraded it to HC.
And I've noticed that under HC the video playback in internet browser i really choppy it used to be like that on Froyo as well but on HC it's even worse.
Sometimes video just stop for about 5-7 seconds and just skip forward after a while. The sound is fine.
I'm watching a normal quality 360p/480p straight from the webiste.
While I'm using YouTube app everything is fine even in high res videos.
Everything is smooth.
What may cause it ? Any ideas ?
My internet connection is 14Mb/s.
And I always connect via wi-fi cause I've got the wi-fi only model.
I really like that tablet but the choppy video playback is killing me.
And I don't want to sell it just because of that.
What websites are you watching off of?
Flash on android can accelerate some types of video, but not all.
I dont have any issues streaming 480p / h264(avc)+aac to my s7.
I would assume it could take up to 1080i/p if it wasnt for the fact the screen cant display it at all IF the video is in a format that can be accelerated.
Youtube switched over to h264 a while back as the iphones couldnt render vp6(or whatever it was) at all; so all but the oldest, unupdated videos are h264 which is accelerated.
Other websites can use whatever codec their flash video player allows, which potentially means you're watching a video in a codec that isnt accelerated on android = choppy even at low res.
I'm reading lots of websites.
Mostly www.gamezilla.pl, www.ppe.pl, www.gadżetomania.pl, www.ps3site.pl
These are polish websites about games and gadgets.
Could anyone try them on yours DS7 ?
I hate iPad and other 9/10 inch tablets but when I go to the mall and I try one of them with my favourite websites and it's always so super smooth I think more and more about buying one and selling my precious DS7 ...
If it's Android's fault or tegra's 2 then all I can do really is to buy a new tablet ;/
Can you provide a specific example?
I opened a random video and it works fine, it's also 720p
http://gamezilla.komputerswiat.pl/filmy/2011/39/guild-wars-2
Generally if it doesnt work on android it wont work on ios either as android supports more stuff (mainly via flash, non flash is equal)
Bummer ... Maybe I've got to much trash on my device.
I'll try to reset the whole thing to factory settings and I'll try it on fresh and clean setup. If that won't help then I'll look arround for different device I guess.
Thanks for trying anyway
If you can find a working example odds are it wont work on any tablet.
If that's the case only thing you can really do is yell at the website because they're using codecs that arnt favored by any platform (pcs can get-by by brute forcing their way though)
Let me see.
I watched this news today and it was really choppy all 3 YT videos :
http://www.ppe.pl/news-12500-PlayStation_Vita_wyladowalo_w_Japonii.html
Hmm strange, it's slightly choppy if you watch though the miniplayer.
But if you click the youtube button it loads and is completely smooth, so it's not the video itself. There's a possibility it's the miniplayer not behaving.
The youtube site player is a HTML5 one i believe, so it might either be flash or the player itself that's the issue. In this one example i'd say to just watch it though youtube, but that's not applicable on other sites if they're also giving issue.
From what I know if this happened on ios you simply end up with no video at all if it doesnt have the HTML5 version available. Assuming you dont watch it though the youtube app (which would still be recommeneded for both platforms if possible)
The reason i like to watch straight from the webiste is that its much more easy, less taping etc.
Just one tap and after watching I can carry on reading the news.
Thanks for help.
Have you tried Dolphin Hd browser. I stopped using the stock ds7 browser for the same reason

I'm having troubles with stuttering when I'm trying to play 1080p blue ray content over HDMI. I have tried stock 2.3 and CM7 both with similar results. I noticed that when I overclock to 1.4ghz stuttering is less. My question is how is possible to play without stuttering?

to me it worked with no problem
i have a friend who works in a service shop who tested it for me
he tested on an LG TV
maybe it`s because of the TV?
i also put a video filmed with the phone on my Samsung TV worked ok also
Well I think "1080p Blue Ray" is too much.
I usually convert my vids to 720p mp4, it plays flawless that way. The phone is not a dedicated video player
O, wait, I'm assuming you're using the stock video player, no? Cause if you're not, that may be the issue.
Other players in the market use software decoding, while LG's stock use hardware decoding. Given LG has full access of the Tegra's code, it allows the player to make full use of the chipset's power.
i think i might know. it`s stuttering because the amount of data needed to be processed by the phone is too big. since you said it`s blue-ray.
also the vid is probably big. more than 8GB. since the standard format used by the phones is FAT. you probably converted it to NTFS or exFAT?
Hi everyone. Latest CyanogenMod 9 Nightly working pretty fine, but because lack of hardware acceleration 720p/1080p videos lagging. Do you guys also experiencing this problem?
No problem, It's alright
Thanks
Same problem. For me especially missing AC3 makes software audio decoding necessary and that makes even playing 720 video a lot choppy.
i am using mx player with no problem
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 recently acquired SM-T817T T-mobile version of Galaxy S2 and noticed that some video files are stuttering while playing video. The stuttering goes away once I disable hardware acceleration. I have tried various players with no success. It happened with 720p and 1080p files. Most play fine though. Also those files SM-T817T struggle with play perfectly fine on my SM-T810. I have tried numerous players with no success. Any recommendations? Both tablets run stock FW. I rooted 817 yesterday, obviously it didn't make any difference.
Same thing with a sm-t719. Flashed lineage 16 today, and every audio - video that i play (regardless of the application) always stutter. More specificly it skips every other second of the video.
Is this a know problem or not?
