[Q] Kid Mode App / CM 10 functionalty troubleshooting - HTC Sensation

Greeting Sensation folks. I'm an Amaze owner and need a kind soul running CM10 / 10.1 to test out an app for me (if you are bored). The app is Kid Mode and I'd like to know if you are experiencing video playback issues. The app has a mode where it accesses videos from various sources (i.e YouTube) and plays it back for your little one. When running CM10/10.1, the video fails playback and I'd like to determine whether it is hardware specific (Amaze/Sensation), ROM specific(CM10), or Android build specific (Jellybean). I don't believe it is the latter, but having verification on another device would be helpful in debugging the root cause.
Thanks in advance if someone out there can hook me up. And if you want to go the extra mile and provide a logcat, I'd be forever grateful. :good:

More aggressive network buffering, please.

I enjoy watching videos that are hosted on my PC though Windows File Staring. MX Player plays them fine but does not buffer enough video to prevent hiccups in playback. This is especially true with very complex scenes in 1080p. Copying the same video to my device will play uninterrupted, leading me to believe this is an inadequate buffering issue. Pressing pause will not pre-buffer any large amount of video as the user might expect.

It's a well known issue. Since it's already listed in priority list hopefully the developer will improve it in next major version mx player v2.0

Version 2.0 huh. I was hoping this would be something that finds its way into [perhaps] the next minor update. Change some integer value from 50 to 300 and call it good.

Differences are :
Chromecast mirroring is only one of the features of this app (you can also mirror to many other kind of target devices, broadcast to Internet, and record)
Official Chromecast mirroring gives better latency
It's works for some devices for which Chromecast mirroring is not possible with Google's app
You can choose to stream with internal audio OR microphone audio OR both
You can change many settings such framerate, bitrate, and resolution to tweak quality
Software encoding provides many live video effects
probably few other differences but I think I told you most important
VLC
VLC crashes after I change the screen orientation. How to fix this?
Everything is ok. I was using old version of VLC, after updating it works properly. Sorry.
great ! Yes I was just about to tell you to update to the last VLC version. They handle rotation properly now...
Galaxy s5 audio issues
I am able to stream my screen to xbmc and chrome. However, no matter what I do I am unable to get the internal audio to stream. I am using Moar Rom 6.2 lolipop galaxy s5. Is there something I could do to get this app to work with audio?

It might be because of the ROM you are using, but I am not sure.
I'll try to check if this is a problem related to this device, but it would be great to know if it is the same with Samsung's Lollipop ROM...
I can only get it to have Su access like 1 out of 8 times. But Su actually grants access evertime it just seems the app doesn't know. Then when it does work I can't get it to actually stream to twitch. It just says "Mirroring is paused" when I press play. Then if I press stop it automatically goes back to the opening screen giving me instructions for if i'm not rooted or Android 5.0.

Sorry for the wait,
I am able to stream to google with some lagg, but i cant do the local desktop recording.
1.-I can open the app.
2.- I select record on local file option.
3.- I start the recording.
-its recording well if i don't start the camera app on the desktop.
If I do that it crashes or doesn't save the video or saves but doesn't play the full video.

Hi Sloosh,
In the quest of helping you fix this problem , I will send all the details of the device . My device android version is 4.1.2 and its on a samsung camera s3 . For what i saw , I needed the code to run it on root that you guys provided(start service.sh) .I think the problem lands on the class you used for the recording on the application . Once it starts the screen recording and the camera app at the same time there could be a conflict on the class or the resources.
*Updated my app
I did all the process and at the end when i open the camera app it looks like it works well. When i see the video the video is just damaged , it doesn't play the full video and stops each 3 seconds . I have to play it again and again and the camera part doesn't show .
I would like to help you more but the Screen Stream app is driving me crazy . With all the bugs and the publicity it takes me like 5 minutes to run the application . If i want to use it again the next day, I have to run startservice.sh again.

Hi, I'm having issues with the audio, if I have it set to internal and enable it to play on my device as well it will echo really bad on the stream (using it to stream on Twitch). Its not so bad if I don't have it play on my device, but I really like to have it play on my phone as well when playing a game.

Camera uses a lot of things, it might also be an opengl issue because it uses opengl for video effects.
So if I understand well now the camera works well, but you have troubles with recording a good video file, is it correct ?
If so, can you please let me know the settings you are using ?
Have you tried to enable hardware encoding option ? It should be disabled by default with your device because it is running Android 4.1, this is a quite old Android version now and causes some troubles...

What do you mean by it will "echo really bad on the stream" ? Do you mean it cuts audio or produces scratches on the stream side ?

On the stream side, it sounds like its playing the audio twice, one is faint but you can for sure hear it. It almost sounds like it my phones microphone picking it up, but I do not have it set to mic/internal (mixed), I only have it set to Internal and then check the "keep on phone" option. If I do not have that option selected it works fine.

[Q] Nexus 5 choppy video playback with Google Photos

Hey,
So I'm on a stock 5.1.1 and updated to the latest Google Photos version, which I think screws with my devices HW acceleration. Basically , after updating I can't watch any HD videos without the frames stuttering, the screen sometimes blacks out in middle of viewing videos as well. Searching around I found that more people experience this, but it isn't that widespread. The problem goes away if I revert the update. Any help for additional workarounds would be appreciated.
Thanks
I was able to find another solution to this. With the latest photos app running, I went in to developer options and switched from NuPlayer to AwesomePlayer making things working smoothly again when playing videos.
If anybody can check what player they're running after updating the app and tell me if they experience video playback stutter with it, I'd appreciate it.
Seems like Google switched between default players on the different OS updates, I'm wondering if they've done the same and it didn't register or something.
Thanks.

[Completed] Audio is out of sync constantly on every app

OK, i have a Samsung note 8.0 tablet (gt-n5110) currently running cyanogenmod 12.1 which is lollipop 5.1. I am an avoid movie downloader and I have tons of SD cards full of movies I've downloaded. I used to watch them seamlessly on my tablet until recently. I can't recall if this problem started with the new ROM or not but no matter what app I'm using or what movie I'm watching, after a few seconds the audio track will skip and subsequently become drastically out of sync (usually 2-3 seconds or more behind the video which is maddening to me). I have tried multiple apps however I still prefer MX player. I do have the custom ac3 codec but I've tried using the default codec for regular mp4 files, same problem persists. Also, the problem continues whether I'm using a Bluetooth speaker or not. Any help would be greatly appreciate . I've fooled with all the settings I can find in MX, tried VLC, etc. I can't seem to find an answer that had fixed my specific problem. At this point I'm really frustrated and just want it fixed so if the answer had been right under my nose, you can call me an ass, I won't take offense, just please give me the answer lol.

Specific Netflix Mirroring Issue that I cant find a thread for.

Good Tidings Forum ,
This is my first post. And of course I am asking for help. I thank anyone that takes the time to read this and assist me in advance.
Phone: Verizon Samsung Galaxy S5 (V) on Lineage OS 14.1 updated to latest update before 15.1. Rooted and using Magisk
Problem Explanation: Streaming Netflix to android auto using AA mirror side loaded app does not produce video. All other applications produce video (vlc player , youtube). Netflix will log into the menu and display everything up until the the the playing of the movie. at which point the movie will not play but it will show all the buttons like fast forward and will play audio and show the line for how long the movie is ect. But no picture. Netflix does work perfectly fine on my phone when not using mirror app.
Possible Reason this is happening: I did some research and found out Netflix uses HDCP which may be causing me this issue. I saw in one forum that some users have HDCP checking in developer options. But following this XDA link I was unable to obtain this setting https://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/general/root-bypass-hdcp-mirroring-easy-t3616836 . It could be caused by something else but right now from what I have researched this seems like the cause.
Possible resolutions:
1) Maybe there is a netflix version out there before HDCP that still works. I cannot find a changelog anywhere that tells me when they implemented it. I have tried several versions of netflix going back as far as May 2016. If someone knows a date when netflix did not have HDCP if ever that would be helpful to let me know so I can test. (so far unable to find a version of netflix that will work on AA Mirror)
2) Possibly find a way to enable HDCP checking on developer options. (once again if HDCP is actually my issue) which may allow netflix to work without issues.
3) A magisk Mod or APK out there to help me that I am unaware of?
4) I read online alot of times that there are hdmi splitters that bypas HDCP. If this is my only solution I need something that is phone based. I would need an usb micro bypass splitter. My connection to Android Auto is usb to micro usb to my phone so i would need the proper software to accomodate that and a way to power it.
This may not be HDCP but I am thinking these is a way somehow to resolve this. Any help is much appreciated and thanks again!
Hi, did you get a reply? I'm having the same issue...
This forum is a year old but seems no one has given any solution. I'm facing the same problem.
