Problem with Video Encoding on some non-official ROMs (EMUI 3 & Cyanogenmod 13) - Honor 3C Questions & Answers

Hi,
When I try to post a video on Instagram or Telegram, or even as I try to encode (or convert the format of) a video and save it on physical storage via video-editor apps, the final product is a video full of purple and pink dots (cyanogenmod 13) or a video with green line on the below (EMUI 3 with android 4.4.2). The audio plays very nice, but the video goes wrong!
I had not tried this on the original ROM (android 4.2.2) and don't know if it had the problem too.
Have anybody had same issue before?

It's software related issue, you may find a ROM which do not have this bug.

[Q] Camera mod doesn't work

Hello, my Optimus 2X is running v10b, and im trying to flash that mod -http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1090785 . Flashed without issues, but when i record video, and see info in Windows it shows - full hd 24 fps 10 mbps bitrate. Why is that? I also tried alternative install via root explorer, but it's the same. The icon of camera doesn't change also.
I also try to solve this problem. But there is no help. apparently no one minds the terrible quality pictures and videos on this phone with camera stock

[PATCH] Camera patch for grouper blobs

Alright, as promised, the camera patch for all ROMs using the grouper blobs.
First of all, a very big thanks to @Adam77Root, cause without him, none of this would have been possible.
This patch allows the camera to use the old nvomx, which fixes the encoder issues. However, this breaks the hardware decoder of the stock gallery. And using software decoder, lags are inevitable. But, you can still play HD videos using MX player.
To revert this, either restore a system backup, re-flash your ROM or flash the "Cam_revert_patch.zip" from the Attachment.
@ROM devs, please don't include this patch into your ROMs, but rather link to this thread. Not being able to use the read hw decoder can cause confusion and false bug reports, which is why I want people to read this first, before using the patch
Good idea!
tested the patch, works wonderfully. thank you!
As above working flawlessly as it should good work you are one step to make everything fully working

Can anyone test Skype videocall? Because for me it doesn't work, it gives me the same error as without the patch (green screen instead of the video). I can record videos though.
Also it works with the new omni buils (the ones reverted to old blobs) and all other official roms that use old blobs.
qr decoding/skype still doesn't work - this is just a fix for video recording
I would really like a revert patch, because I would like to install the patch when I want to take a video and simply uninstall it when I want to use the gallery.
I also add that this patch breaks Youtube app

Of course, it breaks almost all video decoding stuff, especially YT. This is why don't want devs to include it into ROMs.
MX player is more-less the only exception
in addition the recorded Videos are really "not good". The framerate is not stable. One video I recorded has 13 fps, the next 22 fps. Stable 25fps seems not possible.
So I would really appreciate a revert patch, dont want to flash all the rom again

What's your recorded resolution?
About the revert patch, I'm on it

Will do some troubleshooting tomorrow, gonna let you know if I find anything
Alright, as already mentioned HERE, we have a new way to switch between video playing and recording, a more "on the go" version
For details and how to use it, please take a look into the linked post
Now, some more explanation, the new patch "nameless_patchV2" is not only for nameless, but all ROMs built using p880-dev's android-4.4 branch, such as NamelessROM, Omni, Thinkingbridge, ...
Just flash the patch and you can switch blobs as explained.
The patch for CM11 (the cm-11.0 branch) is in the making

[Q] Video problems after firmware upgrade

Hi all, I've got an HTC one M7 and recently I've decided to update its firmware to : 6.09.401.11 , and after that flashed HTC Android revo 83.1 . Everything was ok until I've tried to record a video with the sock camera app, the video start recording as usual, but then after stop recording, I saw the video was saved with pretty bad colors, like purple , green and magenta... , then i've downloaded and tried Google camera app , tried recording again and everything was ok. So I guess there is a problem with the stock camera app...
I've uploeaded the video to youtube: www . youtube. com/watch?v=UtafU5be3Hs&list=UUJIFa_s23OFbzj1jndUypdA
Here is a captured frame of the video.:
I have colors and overlapping distortion video as well

Saw this today.
I am experiencing the same thing with my video.
HTC One m7, Sprint
5.03 firmware recently installed
Running ViperOne 7.0.1 ROM (great ROM!)
I not only see the distorted colors but it also looks like there is a 2nd image (duplicate) that is shifted and has all the weird colors.
I only see this when I replay the recording. This doesn't appear while capturing.
Good thing is I don't use my video capture much but when I do it would be nice if it worked.
thanks
rick
Any luck in resolving this? I'm on ARHD 84.0 and have the same problem!
I just noticed that I have the same problem.
No issues here. Random667 what ROM/Kernel configuration are you using?

Video Problems on Z3+/Z4

I kept having an issue with videos on my Xperia z3+/Z4. Usually a restart will solve the issue but its only temporary and will come back some time later. When the problems hits, any form of video is unplayable, like from youtube and album. Screen Recording doesn't work too that is why I was recording this video with my samsung Tab 3. And also taking VIDEOS. Anyone knows?
oh previously I had 28.0.A.8.251 had this problem now 28.0.a.8.266 still the same.

Google photos can't play 4k video longer than a minute

Hi,
When I record a video (with stock camera app) in 4k that is longer than a minute in the photos app it laggs (1-4 fps), the sound is playing normally. When I try to play a 30 sec 4k video it runs smoothly. In other resolution everything is fine.
But, when I play that video in an other app (like Filemanager's built in video player) it is fine.
I deleted app data, and cache, still doesn't work.
I also tried to record a 4k 1 minute long video, wich is about 300MB, then I recorded a 10 minute video in FullHd wich is 1.6 GB, the FullHd video runs smoothly, so I don't think it is a problem with size. What could be the problem?
Same here brother. After i stabilized the video the vudeo become choppy. Or if I see recorded 4k video the video stuck at some piont and show like slidesjow of photos.
For the last 2 days, that is what i am frustratingly suffering. It was not sth existing a few days ago. I was wondering what caused this and saw your post. Appreciate all kinds of recommendations.
If anyone have a solution please let me know, I still have this problem. After June update all of my 4k videos are broken and I can't play them in Google photos.
Are you sure it happens only with videos longer than 1 min? I have the same problem but it's random.
Sometimes videos longer than 1 or 2 minutes play OK, sometimes very short videos lag.
Haven't tried less than 4k, though.
Super annoying - using VLC now.

I am facing the same problem
Hi, so I tried a few things, and it works.
Disable the app. If it asks to replace the app with the factory version click "ok". After that, enable the app, and DON'T update it, even if it asks to.
This worked for me, no problem at all, the 4k works, the slowmotion videos can be played without stopping too.
@Thuyamo so you lost the improved interface, dark mode and all that?
I am just afraid it will cause sync problems or something.

I'm currently on version 4.11, the newest in play store is 4.19 so it's not that old. For me this downgrade didn't cause any sync problem. Since the screen is so dim I don't want to make it harder to see stuff on my phone outside the house?, so I don't use dark mode at all. But yes, I lost the dark mode feature. The improved interface is there, I didn't lose it.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.
I'm on 4.18.0.250747830 version, 1st play of recorded video was playing normally, smooth, but 2nd and so on lagging like hell

Try the second or the third one, please let me know if it works.
I don't care if it is working or not, to play videos I'm using MX Player Pro.
I created ticket [9-1423000026724] with Google One Support. Let's see how that goes.
Guys, this is a secret so SHHH don't tell anyone.

(Because, I mean, who in their right mind uses Google-anything. Just joking, but srsly.)
Ok, here is an update on ticket [9-1423000026724] with Google support.
Long story short, they said Google Photos cannot play 4k videos.
So I said that was not true and sent them screenshots of Photos running on an iPhone and on a Motorola Android phone, including the information pop-up that shows the video resolution.
They replied they did all they could and closed the case.
I am so dissapointed with their service. I did not expect a quick solution, but I thought they would acknowledge the bug.
What do we do now? I think opening more tickets with them is all we can do. Hope you guys can help me on that.
