(Q) Crackle compatibiity - Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is the transformer's video player compatible with crackle? I can't seem to play any movies. Has anyone else encountered any issues?

Last time I tried to get it to work it failed for me as well.

Found unofficial version of crackle and t works great and plays everything, just there isn't anything to watch. Movie selection is worse.

I can't get Crackle to work on my tf101 either. I know it used to work before fhe last update.

Turn off Ad-blocking
Crackle will not work if you use ad blocking programs like Ad-free. Ad-free acts almost like a firewall in some sorts, which edits the host file. Just turn off Ad-blocking and Crackle works like a charm.

[Q] flash 10.1 issues

Couple issue with flash (at least I think it's flash related).
EA11, PnP ROM, voodoo kernel, Midnight-Blue Steel theme
I'm getting an error message when I attempt to play video from various sites (MSNBC, ESPN, for example):
You do not have permission to open this page...
And when I do get to a page and video does play, the audio sounds awful - it's slowed way down, to the point of not being able to understand anything.
Anyone else experience anything like this?
I just tried out ESPN and MSNBC and I got the same "You don't have permission" messege. I don't, however, have any audio issues with the sites that have worked (so far anyways). I went to TBS.com and watched some Family Guy episodes with no issues.
Funny, Family Guy played fine on tbs.com (audio was fine too!) I'll try to get an example of one that doesn't have good audio...

Yea give me one with funky audio and I'll try it out.

Tried the Green Hornet preview...huge lag before audio started. When it did, it was extremely slow...couldn't understand any of it.

Ok same here. Not sure what's up. Im running the same kernel/rom as you btw. I guess bad flash is better than no flash?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
I checked the sony site out, and got a little flash icon (9), so I assume I don't have the most updated version...will look into that.
I'm on eb16 with p-n-p, a touch of color rom, voodoo, and the latest flash from the market. Video from the above link (sony) plays but my audio is weird as well. I tried this on 3g though not on wifi.

Google Videos apk here! It Works!

Since Google is stupid and block installs from official Android Market for the new Google Videos service from Google: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.google.android.videos
Someone posted the apk: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13769278&postcount=8
Works perfectly on my Asus Transformer 3.1

Everything seems to work till you go to watch the movie then it will only play for 8sec thru the app. At least I can finish watching the movie thru the TF's browser.
So you can watch the movie in the browser? 720p?
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using XDA Premium App
Yes sir. I launched the app, clicked on the video which launched the browser to make the purchase. I ordered the movie, clicked play and it asked me to play back thru the app or the browser. I tried the app and it would only play 8sec then stop. I went back to the browser and this time when it asked me to choose I picked the browser and it worked fine. Yes, in 720p
EDIT: Forgot to mention I was getting an message in the app player something about my rental had expired.
Also, it gives you the ability to display personal videos on a youtube style video wall. Now just gotta figure out how to make cover art show up, instead of the video snippet it uses. This is what I was coming on the boards tonight to actually inquire about - How to show movies with cover art from a screen I could choose from. Problem solved!
I am10 minutes into Hall Pass, playing right out of the app, tethered to my iPhone while in the car. This is super sweet.

so does it work or what can someone else please test the apps ability to play.
Ok I rented "The rite". I was able to play it in the browser and in the video app. Only at 480p though.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using XDA Premium App
Ok it only played for a minute in the app. But it still going in the browser. Also I'm able to watch the movie on google tv.

What's up, neighbor in Orlando? I am in Vero Beach...
Super simple...for your 3G (NOT a 3GS, right?) you'll need to jailbreak it and find an app in Cydia called 'MyWi' or 'PDANet'. Both of these will allow you to both tether with the USB cable as well as via wifi and bluetooth. If you have a 3GS, and you happen to be running iOS 4.x, you can download a tweak called 'TetherMe' which enables the native hotspot tethering in iOS4. Good luck...PM me with any questions.

OK so were you on home wifi or 3g when you did this. And how come you were only able to play the movie in 480p. Were you playing it in 480p in the browser or in the app?
Thanks for trying to out
I was at home on my wifi. I played it thru the browser. Paying it thru the app only played it for about a minute. Don't know why it only allowed 480p but it only allow that on my google tv too.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using XDA Premium App
hmmm the rite is a fairly new movie. Maybe it has something to do with the fact it was playing on the web and not on the app. Although that's odd because on YouTube when a video is HD it plays 720. Oh well thanks for answering the posts. Hopefully Google will release the in app video update soon.

Video on thunderbolt doesn't work right.

YouTube and built in player doesn't work allot the audio plays but not the video does anyone else have this problem. And know how to fix it.
I am having the same issue. The only work around is to do a battery pull... and sometimes that doesn’t work either. I’ve tried factory resets, and they seem to work, but then it starts again. My issue is the video freezes but the audio is ok.
I hope there is a fix for this soon.
Seems to be persistent among all phones from reading the comments on the android Market. By the way try clicking and unclicking the hd button when you go into portrait.

Might not be related but I had this same issuse before. Turned out netflix was the culprit. After watching netflix I could no longer watch any hq videos until the phone is restarted.

Music Skippy.

Does anyone experience skipping on jellybean when playing music and doing something ? Aka Pandora and texting?
Its so bad sometimes.
Anyone figure out a fix? Dalvik tweaks etc?
Sent from my SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
Yeah...ignore the signature but I experience it as well on my infuse...I think it has something to do with memory allocation...or lack of memory...

I lowered vm heap to 128 because 256 is ridiculous. But it didn't make a difference. Maybe 64.

I have found PowerAmp to run pretty smoothly, with slight bumps when switching on or connecting bluetooth. Quite probably a question of processor/memory allocation. The other skips are attributable to alerts from email and other apps that tend to interrupt. In general, though I've found the app does a pretty good job in filtering out such interruptions.
Id say use poweramp
Sent from the Death Star
i third poweramp, or you can try flashing team ac!d's audio hack or whatever it is, you can find a thread for it in the infuse dev section, if you decide to try it please report you findings as my gf is getting very annoyed by the skipping and if its a solution thats great
Well my wife mostly uses pandora. Amd thats where its the worst due to wifi streaming as well as the rest of the reasons.
Sent from my SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
For Pandora, it's just because of the data connection.
Otherwise it is because of the buffer size that we have on out jellybean.
I found a perfect fix for that problem.
Install player pro with DSP manager
Go to setting then sound. You will see buffer size and putridity. Make both maximum. Then music will not lag anymore.
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
i say increase the minimum CPU GHZ from 0.1 to .2.... it happened to me as well and increasing that helped me with my infuse and my brother's captivate so the music wont skip.

Sound Issues

Hey All,
I'm new to this tablet but not Android. I did search but didn't find much.
While watching videos, the sound drops every couple of minutes for 5 or so seconds. I have tried the stock player, MX player and RockPlayer2. Ive tried hardware and software decoding. All of them act the same. These are .mp4 videos that play fine on my Note2.
I am unrooted and stock, although I was planning on rooting.
Any ideas of how to fix this?
Thanks!

Wow. No one has had this problem?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda premium
No, I've never heard of nor encountered this issue.
Try shutting everything else that's running in the background down. Games, browsers and the like. (Under settings --> Apps --> Running)
Maybe it happens when something triggers the notification sound? Like email or something. Maybe the system lessens the sound in anticipation of the notification sound activating regardless of whether it was muted or set to the lowest setting. Just a thought.

Trust me on this.... 99.9% of all issues on 700 are the rom malfunctioning....
Install cleanrom inheritance 2.7 ...u will have no sound issues....

Well I was thinking maybe i need to move away from stock. I wonder if it's a hardware issue tho

Check to see if you have mail checking going on in the background. When I changed to manual checking rather than push mail or scheduled polling, I stopped seeing the issue. If it isn't mail, see if you have a newsreader or something similar running.
