Flash Playback Problems - Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey all,
I'm hoping you can maybe offer some advice on solutions to fix the problems I can see with flash playback on my completely stock 3.2 us wifi Xoom.
I am having issues with sync first of all, the audio seems slightly out of sync with the video when streaming flash videos on the web from sites like TV links. Its always the case so it can't be the video itself.
When I am streaming video from the BBC news website it plays fine but every minute or so the video freezes the audio continues and then a few seconds later the video unfreezes again.
I also notice quite a lot of the time videos are block or pixelated.
Is there anything I can do to resolve this? Is it a common problem or is my particular Xoom faulty.
Kind regards,

Uploads videos to Youtube Choppy

Ok, I don't know if it is just me but when I upload videos I make on my Xoom to Youtube using the Youtube app they become choppy and out of sync. The videos play fine on my Xoom, they just upload wrong. Is this just me or have others experienced this?
Hey I just tested this with a video shot on my Evo 4G (cyanogen 7), and then edited on my Xoom, then uploaded to youtube using my Xoom. The video plays fine both on my Xoom locally and from YouTube. Also plays fine from the you tube website using flash.

It takes a while for a video uploaded to YouTube to be fully transcoded into every resolution available, and during the process, if you try to view the video it will often stutter and desync at some resolutions.
At least, that's my experience.
Try going back and looking at your video after a few hours.

Flash streaming video is pixelated, is yours?

When watching streaming videos from websites is it pixelated on your device? I'm watching anime and dramas on sites and they are blockish looking. It did this on my pc back in the day with older divx/flash plugins as well.
(This isn't the case for sites like Youtube, etc. It is mainly on the anime sites).
It's because the resoluton of the video you are streaming is not high enough.
then the problem are with the videos you're watching. they must just be low-quality.
also, some sites stream lower quality videos depending on your connection speed, that can another thing to consider.
It's not those kind of squares that result from low quality vids.
The vids look fine on my desktop running at higher res.
These are little tiny squares.
try posting a screenshot.
The TF is terrible in playing flash videos via browsers. Check the videos on this site, for instance:

I also cannot play any flash video on the espn3 site on the TF. On my other computers, all these videos play smoothly. Even on my Gingerbread Nook Color and on the 2.2 HTC Thunderbolt, they play smoothly.
Apparently the Xoom or the Galaxy Tab has no trouble playing flash. So something's wrong with the Asus implementation.

I watched a vid on that site on my TF and my laptop..
Those videos are low quality and the TF looked better than my laptop..(it was smaller)
I've streamed videos from youtube and vimeo and they look great. it all depends on what's going in...to determine what's going out.
yes I found it pixelated too. tried dolphin HD and the video quality is worst than playing it on stock browser. I downloaded the video file (using firefox plugin), the quality is much better played on stock video player. so I presume the flash player used by the browsers are set to certain quality.

What's the problem with Ustream ? It's working fine here.
I get pixelation when viewing ad videos on websites. Doesn't bother me at all.

The Tegra2 does seem to do less deblocking that you might get on a system with more spare CPU power. Nothing to do with "pixelation" though.

HTC Sensation .avi (divx/xvid) audio playback stops (solution)

Just wondering if anyone has come across the issue when playing back .avi divx files.
Sound stops after a while while watching videos. Only way to fix is to forward the video.
HTC Please fix this issue.
Temporary workaround has been posted below!
have this issue too....called htc ... they said its a known problem wait for an update !!
yep i also notice that i put cars 2 on my phone for my son he was watching for a minute and the sound stop when i forward the movie sound is on again
Yea i had this problem too when playing with doubletwist but i dont seem to have it with diceplayer. Might be just the app u are using.
Problem resolved when using QQPlayer (android market free) video plays smoothly not audio cut outs . I believe its something to do with the decoder on the sensation, as qqplayer uses its own decoder the problem doesn't exist.

Anyway hope HTC fix this issue

[Q] Before buying - Youtube playback

Hello
First of all sorry for my english, im not good at it.
I want to buy new TF101 3g for my wife in a few days since Prime is dissapoint (i need GPS functionality and strong wifi signal/3g )
She will mainly use it for web browsing, office documents and youtube watching.
How is OG transformer doing with youtube playback ? Does it have problems with HD videos at yt ? Does it shutters/slows ? Its very important for me.
I searched information for the past few days but couldnt find any actual useful info about yt playback.
Thanks for any answers.
no lag in HD playback
lag is only in Full HD (1080p) which is no problem in youtube videos (youtube will load 720p movies)
I've been using recently the TF for watching a lot of videos in YouTube and I haven't found any problem while viewing.
I've set it to get the HD version on full screen and WiFi and while on it, it just goes pretty smooth.
For the use your wife is gonna give it, its a really nice piece and it will surelly perform well.
you are using the youtube app right?
cause it's a very different experience with youtube vids between the app and browsing youtube on the web.
the app streaming is great but i noticed it wont show on searches all videos that you can have on the web browser.
It happens to all youtube mobile client (iOS/Android). It takes time for them to convert the video. Blame it on Apple and their flash BS excuse. At least on Android, we can just go to the youtube mobile website.

[Q] Soft-subbed mkv video playback problem

Hello fellow GNOTE 10.1 users,
Idk if anyone else tried it but when I try to play some soft subbed 720p videos (mostly anime videos with eng subtitles) the stock media player could only play audio and the best I can have some laggy playback using BsPlayer free. So, does anyone know a way to solve this problem? Is it a much broader problem in Android devices in general that has not been soIved yet or does some certain magical codec pack do the trick?

Try mx player and install codecs for arm v7

Nope, it is laggy as hell, the video and the audio go out of sync awfully frequently. By the way, I have tried many 1080p movies and they worked seamlessly before, so my unit is definitely not at fault here. Any other suggestions?

Try both hw/sw /hw + acceleration. If it doesn't work. Then the last chance is in dice player those are the best 3 players in market, but don't worry it is definitely not the device's problem it is software issue
Sent from my X10S using xda app-developers app
Tried both. in hw it does not even show the video and in sw the problems I've pointed out persists. I've tried many different players before -dice as well and it was BsPlayer which gave the best performance. Though as I said, it is also laggy.
Thanks for your time and suggestions.
Yeah, I have the same problem. Looks like I will have to extract all the subs....no other player worked....
Edit: I tried another animes from other sub groups and some of them are working, like from gg and gotspeed, no luck with coomie and utw though, I gotta look at it, maybe theres problem with the format of the subs.
Guys, after the long struggle, I found the remedy! Just install archos video player and its codec pack and that's it. 10-bit video playback problem is gone forever.
