[Q] Problem with YouTube video playback - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
Suddenly I have a problem with YouTube video playback. The videos start streaming ok, but the appear small (not fullscreen) and very low quality. It used to work fine. The locally recorded videos play nice even in 720p. The problem is with the streaming video player.
I installed the LagFix (which works miracles) at somepoint earlier. Do you think that this could cause this problem? Any one else has seen it?
Thanks,
Michael

Audio / Video Sync Issue in avi/mkv Files and Youtube

Hello,
I have already seen on the forum that many people complained about the audio and
video sync problem. I have tried Docs and Darkys ROMs but no chance. There is
always a 0.5 sec difference between sound and video. Tried different players.
Could someone please confirm that this is a widespread issue with Froyo 2.2 or
Is it just a faulty device problem ? I would love to find an answer to this question.
Or even is there anyone playing avi files or youtube videos without any sync issue ?
Thanks.
(Also seen this problem in HTC forums thats why i suspect that the issue is related
to the OS.)
I would guess that its more like faulty or incompatible video file formats .
That is the general reason why many phones have difficulty with some videos .
The only way to test is to take a file from a clean source and of the required format that your phone is supposed to play .
Or even is there anyone playing avi files or youtube videos without any sync issue
Answer = yes the vast majority are .
Just checked Stream from Youtube perfect sound .
Streaming is a function of your internet connection .
Playback saved HD Nasa video clip again perfect .

Well, recorded few videos with my phone to check sound sync. Turns out the files
play completely in sync on my computer but they are out of sync by 0.5 sec when
I play them on my phone. Have seen many ppl in various forums with this issue but
was not able to find a solution bah
works well previously on 2.1 but not on 2.2....
HD MKV plays fine over BlueTooth or via speaker, same with recorded videos or anything video.
Have you tried just rebooting the device and having nothing running in the background?
I tried everything from flashing 2.1, 2.2, 2.2.1 to hard reseting. Nothing works.
Even youtube videos are not in sync. There is a delay of 400ms between sound
and video.
As its not a widespread issue it suggest something wrong with your phone .
Hardware you would need to go back to the seller/service centre .
You could try going back to Eclair problem still then its hardware wiping all data a formatting phone and having no apps on to test .
Test file download a video from

[Q] Video playback in stock internet browser.

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

[Q] Allshare - playing HD movies from PC

Hello,
I would like to be able to play HD 720p movies on my SGN over wifi network, but even though I'm using the "n" standard I only get "signal to weak" message (even standing near my router). Standard 480p videos play ok. The strange thing is that I'm able to play 720p videos from SGN on my computer (even though they are not fluid - but maybe it's codec thing...)
Anyone could recommend something or had similar experience with hd videos?
Thanks
720p and 1080p works fine here. What's your network speed?
are you talking about dlna? ive tried streaming 720p videos to a LG tv. Lags at the start for like 10 sec but then its just normal. works great imo =)

You're talking about playing video on SGN or on TV? My laptop connects to router at 280-300Mb/s and SGN gets max 65Mb/s.

Wow LAN mode on this app really kicks ass! I was able to play 720p and even 1080p over wifi without any problem! And it's so easy to setup too I wonder why Allshare doesn't work this way Thanks for the tip man!
Good morning all,
I have one annoying problem.
Consider following scenario:
I open through LAN Mode or ES File Explorer a .mkv file direct from my home machine. This is done over WiFi Dongle. In other words - i stream video from my local machine over to my Samsung Galaxy Note. What is happening is that after a few minutes the picture and the sound freezes. I have to close BS Player, close ES File Explorer and open the video again. This is happening with all kind of videos. Even 1080p are played butter smooth but it freezes every 4-5-6 minutes.
I've tested with a laptop - no such problem.
Does anyone have any idea what could be the problem? I'm using BS Player Lite.

It looks to me that your wifi dongle can't maintain stable signal. Try searching for new drivers for it.

That is the problem with the cache I guess, either ES or BS are not able to handle the huge memory size of 720/1080P. Try MX Player.

[Q] Problem streaming video

Just got the HTC One today and so far everything has been going well with the exception of video streaming. Whether it be from YouTube or Netflix, I can't seem to buffer my videos up to a HQ/HD quality. I compared this with an iPhone 5 at the same time and that played videos perfectly.
Anyone know what the problem could be or if there are any settings I can tinker with?
