I have a video file that was encoded with Indeo 5, and I've tried a few players, the first two only play the audio however it just makes awful broken sounds, while VLC Beta actually plays the video but the sound is all broken.
So, does anyone know what I can use to play the video on Android with the audio & video working properly?
I've got the Galaxy Tab 3 7" (WiFi) w/ 4.1.
This is tab 7 inch original forum (tab 1 if you want to count)

Then where's the one for the GT3 7" WiFi only version..?!
Not here?
to be fair to you.
Ask there where the Tab 3 non-wifi is.
They may know better than us the P1000 owners.

I have the Tab 8.9 P7310 WiFi and the 10.1 P7500 3G.
I thought that both tabs share the same innards (aside from the obvious screen and 3G difference)...
But when I play a video the 10.1 plays it fine where the 8.9 gives me a stuttering experience.
Both tablets run stock HC3.2. Same effect with stock 3.1 on the 8.9...
What am I missing ? I'm confused...
Thanks for your thoughts.
Flip both Tabs to portrait mode. Watch the 10.1 start to struggle while the 8.9 does better.
It's a Honeycomb issue...but basically, the 10.1 is landscape biased, the 8.9 is portrait biased.
Interesting...
Did not know about this horizontal/vertical issue... Any chance to circumvent this?
So a Rom designed for the 10.1 should not have this issue on the 8.9?
Maybe the Overcome Rom?
I don't see a difference
Landscape or portrait mode: the video always stutters on the 8.9...
It drives me crazy, because I bought the 8.9 mainly for watching movies... Grrrrrrrrr...
what video player are you using? I use MoboPlayer and it doesn't stutter on my 8.9
Also that depends on the video, the tegra2 platform cannot handle AAC High profile videos.
It's not about the Tegra2 performance...
The Video plays fine on ALL players on the 10.1. Same Video on the 8.9 is almost unwatchable because of the stuttering.
Normally I use Dice Player or MX Video Player...
I did encode the Video especially for the Tegra platform. So all the H.264 parameters lie within the specifications...
I don't know if it applies to the model you are dealing with, but the ATT LTE 8.9 Galaxy Tab does not use a Tegra chip at all.
The new ATT LTE 4g 8.9 Galaxy Tab uses a 1.5 ghz dual core qualcomm snapdragon chip.
From what I have heard though, the Verizon version uses the same ol' tegra 2 1ghz dual core that is in all the rest.
That's because of the LTE...
The WiFi and 3G versions definitely use the Tegra2 chip...
I think the video performance of the qualcomm should be better...

This sucker is amazing, with hardware acceleration for mpeg4 based videos, I am able to play back 1080 bluray mkv rips that are between 7 and 10 gb's without problem, color me surprised!
I found BSPlayer to be the best player for me, mostly because it supports all the hardware acceleration in the LTE, and also supports browsing windows file shares right in the app itself.
BSPlayer is one of the only video apps that has built in file share access, and is the only one that would stream 10 gb+ files from my file server without constantly buffering and dropping frames.

It's not utilizing the Tegra2 SOC.
My problem is the very different behavior of the 10.1 vs 8.9.
The 10.1 plays all my encoded videos perfectly whereas the 8.9 does only stutter...
Even SD content with h.264 main profile does not play okay...
Any more news about this? I am about to order a 8.9 wifi tab but this thread got me worried.

Hi, you are in Sweden?? Then buy the SGT 8.9 LTE by Telia which is equal, to the hardware level, to the SGH-i957 AT&T is talking about modestone.
modestone says that the SGH-i957 AT&T is very very good to play videos.

Nope...

Well, the only reason I'm considering buying one is that the Wifi versions of the 8.9 and 10.1 right now are on sale for €300 for the 8.9 version and the €350 for the 10.1 version. The 8.9 LTE is about €650.
I want the 8.9 for the smaller form factor but I'm surprised about this reports that it playback video worse than the 10.1. The hardware specs should be identical so that is very strange and unpexpected. Sounds like a software issue unless it really is a hardware difference.

LTE would be nice but too expensive. The 10.1 wifi goes for €350 but I worry that I may find it a bit to large.

Unfortunately I think its hardware problem. Tegra 2 has a known problem of not being smooth when tab is held in portrait, all Tegra 2 tabs have this problem. Problem with our GT8.9 is that the screen is rotated 90 degrees so we have this problem in landscape.
And yes, the form factor of the GT8.9 is much better then 10.1

Sorry steel, in my SGT 10.1 only h.264 baseline profile videos play smooth (and a few other video in high profile).
Have you tried to play videos baseline profile in the SGT 8.9 to see how it behaves??

... plays smooth on the 8.9 in 720p (haven't tried 1080p). But not using CABAC wastes a lot of hdd space... The movies are about 1/3 bigger...
But the difference is still night and day compared to the 10.1...
I just don't get it:
If the problem is related to screen orientation diffenrence between 10.1 and 8.9 shouldn't the 10.1 start to stutter when held in portrait? But that is not the case...

HBOgo was working since day 1 for me. I believe I loaded it from TiBu tho.
Thank you OP!
I have been using the XFinity TV app and it works very well on JB but I will try the HBO apk.
I checked last night again and it's working now. I guess they were just having some startup issues
Does HBO Go display 720p video for anyone here? The video quality looks to be sub-480p.
I've tried HBO Go on my PC, Xbox 360, iPod Touch 4, Samsung Galaxy Tab 2, and Nexus 7. Xbox 360 is the only version that displays 720p video.

It looks low quality for me too (first few episodes of Deadwoord).
Does anyone have issues with the n7 not timing out and going to sleep? I've fallen asleep watching HBOGO and woken up several hours later and the screen is still on with no media playing. I think it happened with other apps too. n7 is plugged in at the time.
Is this a common problem with all the Tab 8.9's or is it just me. I have a bone stock new Tab and when I try and play youtube or other videos, it stops every couple seconds and lags ... Wallpapers all look pixelated no matter what resolution I download ...I love the Tab so far, but things that should operate without too much tweaking or manipulation seem to require a lot of work to get working correctly. I hope I dont regret the decision of not getting an Ipad
Im sorry to tell you, but all Tegra 2 devices are unable to play 720p or 1080p videos without stutter. Even with an OCd Cpu it wont (some people say, but theyre desperate just like all of us..)
Other dual cores can because they have something integrated, that we call NEON. So its not about the cpu speed at all, its about a missing function, to decode HD material (overall video material, but the cpu can handle low resolution vids).
Some codecs on the market (for ex. BSplayer) can help but it'll still be a bit laggy.
EDIT: It is possible to play 720p or 1080p videos. You have to convert the video to H.264 Baseline profile. With that, it should work.

Try mxplayer. I found anything I recorded on my S2 would stutter like mad when played back on my tab but since mxplayer upgraded and added the hw+ decoder it plays perfect. As for youtube this problem has come up since the ICS update and not much you can do about it sorry

Hi all,
I started out with the stock 3.2 ROM, I quickly switched to Overcom ROM 3.2. I was happy with it for about 8 months.
Then I decided to go to ICS and later JB.
Every ROM I've used so far has the problem that HD movies on YouTube don't play very well. Every few second it will stop for a fraction of a second, it's really annoying. The audio is never affected though. It happends when the video is small and when it's full-screen. The moment I switch from HD to HQ the problem is gone.
I tried about anything, even overclocking up to 1.5 GHz. doesn't change a thing. I'm pretty sure it's not the capabilities of the tablet, if I play 720p trailers on the IMDb app it plays all video's perfectly. Also, when I use the 3.2 Overcome ROM backup the problem is gone as well! I can't go back to 3.2! I love ICS and JB too much!
Are other people having this problem? Or does anyone knows the solution?
I was wondering if this has something to do with the kernel, so far I used the A1 kernel and currently I'm on 3.1.10 Cyanogenmod+ kernel and CyanogenMod 10, with Android 4.1.2
Again, from the Asus Transformer Forum about the Tegra 2 and HD content -.- :
"The Tegra2 chipset are designed as a mobile sollution chipset - to support web 2 standards. The highest encoding profile used here (Youtube 1080p) are 1080p baseline and this the Tegra2 chipset will both record and play with no troubles. As well as 720p baseline and main profile - but only upto L3.1 with some limitations. It doesnt matter which container is used (mkv, mp4, m4v, avi etc) and it doesnt matter if resolution are 1080p - its only a matter of the encoding profile used to encode the supported video format H264
Tegra2 will NEVER be able to decode High profile L4.1 encodes - it's not a software issue, neither in terms of Honeycomb or Nvidia libs, its simply a limitation of the abilities of the hardwaredecoder in the Tegra2 chipset and this will never change. It is also not a limitation in the Transformer specifically, but a limitation in ALL Tegra2 based tablets and mobilephones.
This is the same reason why some mediaplayers like the Boxee Box that was originally intended to use the Tegra2 moved on to an Intel chipset before launch.
In short the Tegra2 chipset will support playback of videos encoded in 1080p or 720p resolution, using the H264 video codec and AAC audio codec - as long as the video are encoded after the baseline profile standard
It will not now or ever - play 1080p/720p encodes encoded after the high profile standard."
Youtube HD is not encoded as it has to be for Tegra2 chipsets to play without stutters..
Next time, please serach the forum, there has been several threads about hd content.

While I agree the issue was mentioned before (it's even on my faq ICS), none of your reply addresses the observation, made by several folks on this board, that certain (youtube) HD videos played fine in HD, but stutter in ICS. Or did I miss something?
I read a suggestion somewhere, that video would stutter less in ICS (correction: jelly bean) if developer USB debugging mode is off, but I didn't see a difference...

Well, i have to admit that youtube hd videos did not play fluently on HC for me. Therefore I think that the android version or kernel doesnt matter for decoding. I might be wrong though..
With that being said, i think that there is no solution to get it fixed.
Btw that USB debugging thing does not work for me as well

I had issues with prefetch not working with latest youtube version and had installed an old apk which was working good.
I like to watch movies on my tab, then and often stream them from my pc. I'm just wondering which rom you guys would choose as the best for this? I'm thinking of going back to the cm9, currently on 10.1.
I seem to remember having less issues when using cm9 to do this, though in general I didn't find the rom ass smooth. But many of them are 1080p and I'm not interested in reincoding anything.
And is mx player still one of the best options for this?

Honestly, I have no problems streaming and watching my 720p collection from my HTPC on my stock ROM (4.1.1). I am using MX, and even though it didn't request a codec, I still installed the ARM7-NEON codec. I have abosolutely no problems whatsoever. However, all my 720's are very efficiently compressed using my own settings with max bitrates not usually exceeding any more than 4,500kbps.
Sungsonic is supposed to be optimized for video and audio. But not sure if it is available / works on the P1000. I'm currently on a P3113.
I also had the same issue, I also love watching movies on my Tab, especially HD. I was on cm9 then shifted to cm10 parandroid. All of these custom ROMs have same issue with playing 720p and 1080p. The solution I still use is this:
1) delete all codecs and players, including MX player.
2) install bsplayer
3) then install mob player
4) then install MX player (don't install its codecs or the other players codecs)
5) go to MX player >>> settings>>> decoder>>> tick the hw+ decoder and at the bottom tick the deinterlace option
6) now try playing 720p or 1080p, in hw+ mode using MX player. If the player still lags you can use BS player, it handles HD quite well and slightly much better than MX player.
Hope this works for you. Please reply ASAP of the results...

Thanks for the suggestion. I ended up doing a full restock last night, and gave it all a go in the gb again, and am now back on the cm9, and it's working much better. One movie I stream as my test was always a bit juttery on cm10 variants, and also on gb is very good on cm9. And of course mx player will select hw in cm9 where it won't in the others.
Sometimes you just have to trial and error. Actually, everything is running a bit smoother than any cm10 I've used.

It's a fact that 1080p is VERY BAD on JB aosp based roms even with hw support, when they are played absolutly nice on GB rom !
About JB 4.1.2 not able to play fluently 1080p as stock GB samy does, one of our rom daddy explained somewhere that Samsung have some kind of proprietary codecs bought somewhere that aosp cannot have. So...
But I just tried ICS AOKP SGT7 milestone 6 (19/9/2012) and it decode 1080p flawlessly ! no difference with stock GB !
So what happen to JB 4.1 or 4.2 ? :cyclops:
edit : got a look at the 1080p' movies link used to Test videos for HW codec with MX, for example at the [ROM][CM10][JB][4.1.2][SGT7][P1000/N/L][PDroid][20121127] thread when guys complained about bad performance, and I discover that theses "reference' movies" were in fact both 800 or 816p ! along with a fanny readme that states "Original Video properties: Resolution: 1080p (1920x816) FPS: 23.976 (NTSC)"
So I think that many dev' validation test could have been badly abused that way with something near 720p !
It could be nice that our "old" 1080p mkv could stay running and streaming over our tab ... in JellyBean kernels & roms ad hoc !
Please ...
Thx
