After 36 minutes (always the same time) of streaming video from the internet either via media server (Playon app) or direct from a web page, the audio and video will lose sync. This occurs in both TnT Lite 2.3 and Vegan 5.1. I have search the forum for days without finding a solution.
Do I have something set wrong on my G Tablet or is there a solution to this problem?
Thanks
I'm in for the answer.
I get to about 5 minutes, after which the video stops, while audio continues.
Ive experienced skipping and stuttering when listening to audio over A2DP (Bluetooth) on both the original GB leak adn the official 2.3.3 update from LG & T-Mobile. The skipping and stuttering has improved on the newest update, but it def is still a major issue when doing ANYTHING besides listening to music. This occurs on ALL LG .3.3 based ROMS such as EB107, the Stock OTA, and WeaponG2x.
My hunch: It seems any type of IO access causes a skip, as anything strenuous like listing apps (settings), cruising around the launcher, opening closing apps, etc causes stuttering, sometimes to the point that its literally impossible to listen to. Its less "skippy" when the screen is on, phone left alone with the music player open. It skips\stutters more if the music player is in the background.
Anyone else expericne this? Please try this on multiple sources (Pandora, music, AudioGalaxy, Youtube) before stating it works or doesn't, as Ive found certain types of playback (such as Youtube) are more likely to exhibit the issue.
Ive tried to diagnose this & have had very little luck. At the moment, I cant listen to music and do ANYTHING else on my phone w/o it skipping and stuttering, which shouldn't be the case for a dual-core android.
Anyone have anything to add? Possible solutions? Fixes?
Thanks!
Same issues here. I've learned to just not use the phone at all while listening.
Also using the camera while using Stereo BT shuts it off completely.
I've had issues with it on the MLB At-Bat app, and that's even when I'm not touching the phone at all...
Hey,
I just got a TF300 and I've been trying to get video streaming to work on the tab. I'm using BubbleUPNP and I've tried about a dozen video players to go with it (dice player, vplayer, moboplayer etc etc).
The issue I'm having is that the video just randomly stops. I'm not having any issues relating to video quality or file formats. I'll be streaming a video and the video will just randomly stop, and because its streaming I can't resume at the same place I have to start again.
I have not yet managed to complete a single video without it being exited at a random interval. Its not always the same place, sometimes I'll get 20minutes in, other times 10minutes of the same video file.
I'm using iSedora media center to stream across my internal LAN. I've been using this program to stream to my TV without issues for over a year.
At the moment it looks like WiFi could be the culprit however
a) I've used WiFi Analyzer to find an unused channel for my router
b) I've tested the stream right next to my router at about -20dBm to -30dBm
c) I have tried a factory reset
d) I have tried 8dBi antenna and they just made my signal worse
Any assistance here would be amazing
Thanks

Have you tried UpnPlay?
Just so you can rule out the client.
i use emitapp for streaming - works perfectly over lan and at work.
it does allow resuming from a specific point in the video as well.
Hi all,
I have a bit of a complicated, advanced question which i think would also require an advanced complex solution (hope im wrong and there is a quick fix). Basically the problem i am experiencing is with my 7" android 4.0.4 tablet phone and video streaming, whenever i use a video streaming app e.g youtube, hubi etc etc the video wont load in a proper fashion. What i mean by this is even though you have a very fast internet connection e.g wifi, the video wont load properly and i will experience pauses before the video needs to pre-load again but for some reason wont continue to pre-load as it should, it would stop pre-loading after a few seconds then when the play marker reaches the pre-load marker it would stop before it starts to pre-load again which causes video pauses while playing. The video will take unusually long to start up, once started it will play for a short while before it pauses again to load up again. Let me make this clear to all who may attempt to answer this question, it is not a problem of the wifi reception becuase full reception is received and my download rate is 38 MBPs. It's something to do with how the movies are pre-loaded it seems the apps i am having problems with afore mentioned have a technical fault in pre-loading the video streams. Further to help you understand ive realised flash tehcnology movies pre-load beautifully and smoothly e.g the video stream pre-loads quickly in seconds and the whole movie would take a couple of minutes to pre-load as is expected with a 38 Mbps DL rate. The same problem is experienced via 3G high speed connection. I personally think the problem lies within the android OS and NOT with the connection methods e.g wifi and 3G. Any help would be much appreciated.
To help you help me, here is some information about my tablet phone:
The latest 7" dual sim tablet phone
OS: Android 4.0.4
Kernel version: 3.0.13
Model: ALPS.MID
I've got a weird problem with my Nexus 5.
When I listen to audio (typically with BeyondPod, but also with Google Play Music and ES Media Player) the audio sometimes pauses.
After a while I have noticed a pattern. It appears that the playback pauses when the device connects to / disconnects from a WiFi network.
I have also occasionally experienced it with WiFi switched off. I haven't analysed in detail when it happens, but it appears to happen when GSM connection is acquired / lost.
Is this a 'known problem'?
Is there any known workaround?
I get this with streaming app Spotify.
I've put it down to a kernel issue, I'm using Franco kernel and some other users have mentioned it also
Used to have this problem with the Franco kernel as well. Don't have the problem anymore now, but can't explain why.
If you are streaming, then of course changes in connectivity will result in an interruption, no? I assume the problem does not occur when playing music located on the device?

True! But I should have been more specific.
This is happening when listening to music offline so they are local files.
I read an idea that the phone prioritises the switch from WiFi to Data (this is the only time when my stutter occurs, leaving the house and coming back) and so music playback stutters very briefly as a result.

Ah, that's why I asked. I seem to remember reading somewhere that when playing music with Google Play Music, the app requires connectivity even when playing local files. If that is indeed the case, then connecting/disconnecting could cause the interruption. So, I suppose the next step would be to test with a music player.
Further clarifiaction
Just to clarify further:
What I'm experiencing is not a 'stutter', but a pause. - I have to manually restart the playback.
I only listen to 'local' media - not streamed. I don't know how it reacts when streaming.
I'm using stock 4.4.2 (rooted).

As I drift out of WiFi range and into data my streaming music doesn't pause. The song loads at the beginning I assume and ends up seamless during the network transfer.

You're probably right - it must at least buffer ahead.
I am having the exact same problem as the OP. I get pauses whenever my Nexus 5 goes from wi-fi to cellular, cellular to no signal, etc. It happens with many different apps like Pocket Casts, Google Play Music, DoggCatcher, Poweramp, both streaming and local file playback. Drives me nuts, especially when I am in the car. Used to happen with my Nexus 4 too.
The ONLY fix I have come up with (I am completely stock/un-rooted) is to download podcasts or playlists and play in Airplane Mode. This completely fixes the issue, but is not practical as I have to stay offline whilst listening to audio.
Also worth noting, it doesn't happen when I am playing local video files, e.g. a video podcast. If there is anyone that can help please do as at this rate I am going to have to start carrying an iPod touch around, and I have enough gadgetry already.

Didn't think of testing Spotify offline with aeroplane mode turned on. Will try

I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one experiencing this. My guess is that there must be some app that receives a notification when the connectivity changes, and for some reason pauses playback. Maybe if we can cross-reference installed apps we could find the offender?
Is there an easy way to see what apps are installed?

I used to use Tasker, but I don't any more.
I tried to use 'Autorun Manager' to see what intents are captured and by whom, but I quickly got lost...
No audio skipping/stutter when using Spotify offline mode after turning airplane mode on.
Suddenly the problem disappeared!
I was clearing out a bunch of games that the kids had installed, and then I realised that the problem was gone!
I haven't done any serious analysis to pinpoint the culprit yet, though.

I may have to try to analyse it again, as the problem reappeared suddenly this morning! I haven't installed any new software for weeks, but it could of course be part of some update.
