[Q] Increase PC Stream Framerate? - Shield Q&A

Hey guys, I've been enjoying using the Shield for both Android and PC games, but being a spoiled PC gamer has left me with a desire for 60fps when streaming PC games. With my Shield connected to my wireless N router over the 5GHz band at 300mbps and excellent signal strength, would that not be enough bandwidth to stream 720p 60fps video? Is there a way to increase the framerate manually?

According to a lot of reviews I've been reading, you aren't going to get 60 FPS. I've heard 30-45 range is what is expected, depending on your connection. Since you have a great connection don't expect anything higher than 45....

I think this depends on your graphics card. I tested Tomb Raider with a Titan card and i got 100FPS without vsync... :silly:

We're talking about framerate on the Shield when streaming pc games to it. You might be getting that framerate on your PC, but not on the Shield

I'm pretty sure this streams in a constant 24fps h.264 video at all times. Correct me if I'm mistaken.

You can try setting the game to 720p using the in game settings.

that sounds right. If you had 2 different framerates i imagine you would get flashing or stuttering,
like when you adjust the frame rate on monitors it gets weird if its not set the same as GPU

edit, double post

But they are at 2 different framerates. If you've got a decent computer, start streaming a game at Shield while looking at the game running on your computer. They are both definitely not at the same framerate

I do have a decent computer
ASUS P9X79 LE
Intel i7-3820
64GB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 x2
Don't see the need to list more then that.
As far as streaming goes you can't use the same methods for framerate that you would use on your desktop. I tried setting the resolution to 1280x720 in the game setting, had it at 1920x1080 and I noticed the framerate on the shield go up at 1280x720.
agrabren said:
Yes, for "NVIDIA Supported" games, the resolution change is automatic. But for other games, you'll get a lot better results if you change the resolution to 720p, since that's the native panel resolution (higher res means higher bandwidth)
I've said in another thread, thinking of an idea to get controller support to work better. Stay tuned.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by that. You measure framerate the same way on any LCD. I'm aware that it is best to stream games at 720p, but I was asking if the stream could be sent to the Shield at 60 frames per second, instead of the ~30 frames per second that it currently does.

Yes that true if the LCD is connected to the computer rendering the video you see.
You can improve FPS and streamed FPS by simply changing the game settings to display at 1280x720.
Here is a simple way to find out try it for your self.

I already know changing the resolution to 720p will increase the framerate, but it does not increase the framerate that Shield is streaming at above ~30fps. Every game, no matter what framerate I get on the computer that is actually playing the game (for example, Bioshock Infinite. My pc will play that game at over 120fps on medium settings at 720p resolution), the Shield is still streaming at 30fps. What I'm asking is not if I can get better performance from my PC, I'm asking if the streaming video from my pc to Shield can be increased from 30fps to 60fps.

I can tell that the Shield is at around 30fps just by looking at it, the same way I can tell the difference between 24fps for movies, and 30, 60, 120fps for video games.
Video scaling has nothing to do with this, since the source is in 720p in the first place, and I guarantee that 720p at 60fps does not use more than 50mb/s

Just to correct you... 1280 * 720 * 60 * 4 = 211MB/s (uncompressed) So the real question becomes what is the compression level.
(Add the breakdown 720p = 1280 x 720 resolution, 4 bytes per pixel (32-bit color), 60fps)

Honestly, got no idea. I don't know if they're throttled on the PC or not. I actually imagine they would be to reduce the traffic... I can't think of a way to detect that you're getting behind on packets until it's too late and you've got game lag. It's better to error on the side of low latency... But that's just my own thoughts on trying to implement a feature like this.

Streaming Dolphin emulator I noticed that i cant run at max resolution (2560x2112) it gets laggy.(too much to stream? or low bandwith router?) when i go to 1280x1056 it streams just fine.
Same with Borderlands 2. max everything is laggy. so it must be limited to how much data it has to convert to be able to stream 720
im using 2 660ti

Assuming only 30fps, a resolution of 2560x2112 would require 618MB/s of transfer rate. I believe the stream is actually done at "native" resolution, so if you're PC is playing at 2560x2112, the data stream is 2560x2112 too. You'd need a wired gigabit to even come *close* to maintaining that type of stream.

[Q] transformer and high profile HD video

Hello
I want to buy the transformer but one thing is bothering me,will this device be able to run my High profile videos, flawlessly like blu ray rip for example ?
a BluRay Rip which seems like 480-720p (according to mediainfo)
video: 761 Kbps
codec : XviD
resolution : 640x272
frame rate : 23.976 fps
audio: 2.0 MP3 128kbps
another blu ray RIP 1080p :
Format: MKV
Overall bit rate: 5 759 Kbps
Video Bit rate: 5 000 Kbps
Display aspect ratio : 1920 x 1080 (16:9)
Frame rate : 23.976 fps
Writing library: x264 core 88
it's a very decisive aspect, maybe I will wait for exynos tablet (mali400), because we told me that tegra2 was limited regarding 1080p high profile...
thanks
Not got my transformer yet so not had a chance to play around with video yet but there is a post on the handbrake forums that explains a little.
Not able to post links yet but its in the devices page of the handbrake forums and the post is titled Motorola XOOM.
Basically says tegra can do sd in high profile, 720p in main (normal in handbrake) and 1080p needs to be baseline (not sure what you set to get this).

Going by what NVidia have said regarding their next-gen processor (Kal-el), it should be ~5 times more powerful than the current Tegra 2's. They even demo'd a Kal-el tablet playing 1080p content to a HDTV in 1080p. Hopefully that would meet your needs.
I'm looking to load some of the kids DVD ,s on for trips away to keep them occupied ,is it going to be lengthy process to get them to play ok
LEEDROID DESIRE HD using XDA PREMIUM
for the kids heck 320 x ?? should be good enough since I doubt they'll be complaining about quality. you'll get tons of movies loaded and at that res and a lower bitrate they'll convert very fast.
KAL-EL Saw the shogun 2 demo, My god I think I'll wait august to buy a tegra3 tablet, would be stupid not too, i just hope it will be an asus or msi one...

High profile HD videos yet?

Has there been any progress with the tegra2 limitations on high profile HD videos, especially with 3.2 or will this never be fixed?
there are way too many high profile hd videos out there for this to not work on any name brand tablets (except Archos ironically and jailbroken ipad1/2).
For 720p try diceplayer. Works for most MKVs and is the best we'll get probably...

Yes. It is. There's a thread in the app section somewhere where the dev is actively talking to people on xda. It's worth the $4. I play 720P high profile videos often, but it takes either a really good SDcard, or use the internal memory. A slow (aka <10 mbps I think...my 6mbps usd card doesn't play well) card will make it not work. For obvious bandwidth issues.

Hi I just installed it and it works!
My high profile 720p mkv files are playing very smooth.
But I cannot understand WHY this the DicePlayer is the only player
that can play such files smoothly. Maybe it uses hardware decoding for video and software decoding for audio?

class 10 is 10 megabytes per second... in order for video content to exceed that bandwidth, it'd be 600 megabytes per minute of video, or 36gb per hour of video. Bandwidth is not an issue.
also keep in mind classes are WRITE speeds, not read, read is almost always faster than write.
I can't get the demo to play without sticking after a few seconds. Tried various 720p MKV's. Running off a class 6 MicroSD.
I tried this and now about 1/2 to 3/4 of my 720p files can be played smoothly.
Wondering though, the ones that do play, have a slight pixelated appearance to them, I was dissapointed in its visual appearance. I don't think its related to this player but the Tf in general? Perhaps bitrate is not high enough and that's why it was able to play?
The thing is if I play this on my archos 70 or ipad1 with XBMC, the picture quality is perfect, HD looking.
Anyone noticing this?
I find that curious as well. Noticed the same thing which wonders me since 720p should be mapped 1:1 on the transformer screen. But you can really notice the difference to a (baseline) encoded 1080p Video!

I played Rango in a 720P DiVXHD the other day (in MoboPlayer I believe), and I was really impressed with the quality (playing over the network nonetheless)... I'l have to go back and try it again and really pay attention to the visual quality of it. Overall though, I thought it looked great, and noticeably better than any of the 480p videos I play on it.
When I was saying that video playback gets stuck I meant I was using the Diceplayer 3 day trial version. Everything I played that contained a AC3 or DTS track caused the video to freeze after a few seconds of playback. FF a bit and it plays then freezes again.

Because the player is only using the cpu to decode the ac3 audiostream. Combine this with the load from the video-decoding and there is not enough cpu power. Even at 1500Mhz i have not enough power for all my mkvs.
I tend to forget that when I ran a 2.4Ghz AMD CPU on my desktop the highest res I could play were 720p MKV's most of the time. I am guessing some sorta hardware acceleration needs to be achieved in the codecs for it to play them smoothly?
I recorded a Full HD MP4 video with my Samsung Galaxy S2, where I can play back it absolutely smoothly. Then I copied it to my TF's internal SD card and it stutters like hell with the same player.
I would never have expected this, because both devices should have pretty similar performance hardwarewise.

Tegra 2 only supports Baseline for Full HD. You should check the video and which profile it has.

Tegra 2 is able to play Full HD but (and this is a big but) only Baseline Profile.
And that's the problem: Baseline is dying which makes Full HD on Tegra 2 a useless feature.
I think it's this device/Honeycomb. I had no issues playing main profile with B-frames (no CABAC/Weighted-P or B-frames) on my Elocity A7 (Froyo). Same files do not play on Transformer.
I could never get CABAC to work, but even 2.35 cropped 1080p files played.
I'm really impressed that Dice can do mkv. It's very computationally intensive as far as containers go. Might have to give it a try.
Something's jacked up and one day it will magicly fix itself.
The main info thread said that 3.2 was supposed to have better media support. What works better?

Maximum Video Encoded level for stutter free playback?

I'm looking to a upgrade from my current handset, an old school Nokia 6120c.
What is most important to me is that the new phone (HTC Desire S) be able to play videos encoded at a "High:L5.1" level within a mkv container, or at least High:L4.1 as most 720p tv shows i got downloaded are at that encoding level.
Thee videos will not be played from local storage (Phone/SD Card) rather they wil be streamed from my NAS which is running TwonkeyServer.
The toss up over what phone to get came down to which had the better chipset, more specifically the better gpu in terms of hardware acceleration to play these 720p videos without a single stutter.
Not wanting to blow too muh dosh, im keeping it to a simple single core cpu, so I found myself stuck in deciding between the "MSM8255 Snapdragon" and the "Humming Bird" chipset.
The 2nd generation snapdragon has a snappier cpu however the humming birds gpu seems much better still.
So, heres hoping some of you guys have already given this a thought.
1. At what most encoding level does the HTC Desire S play videos stutter free?
2. Does Diceplayer offer hardware virtuasisation for mkv files (xvid/x264) on the Desire S?
3. Since Videos are being streamed by TwonkeyServer from my NAS, is their "less effort" for the Desire S to play these videos? As apposed to playing them from local storage?
I don't have an answer for your question but I do have a question for you.
Why do you need to watch 720p video on a screen that is less than 4"?
I have never understood this need for devices with such small screens to playback such high rez video other than that which has been filmed on it.
Surely a standard xvid would look just as good on the small screen.
^ not to mention that both the Desire S nor the Galaxy S have a horizontal video resolution of 480, so watching a 720p video would be scaled down significantly anyway.

Yeh it sure would, however i dont have the time or effort to be re-encoding videos all the time. I have "Sickbeard" download all the TV shows i have subscribed to my NAS box daily, so i would just like to stream the videos directly to my phone without messing around all the time with encodes and re-sizing videos everyday..

2nd generation snapdragon "MSM8255" with Adreno 205 GPU as opposed to Adreno 200 should be ~4 times quicker. So in theory shouldn't it be able to play videos of higher level encoding?
EDIT: Oh my bad, seems you were right about High:L3.1 being the highest shutter free level
As i turns out The HTC Desire S has the same chipset as the HTC Desire HD, which is actually included in the above supported list of devices. Well im **** outta luck then
Still dont understand how even with the 205 Adreno GPU it failed to play anything higher :S
I really liked the look of the HTC Desire S, and its dimensions closely resembled the iphone4 which i believe is just the perfect size for a phone.

Video Formatting - What works for you

Hey guys, I'm waiting on my tablet to come in from best buy. In the mean time I'm getting ready to start converting movies to be ready to throw on when it gets in and I get a 64gb card for it (hope it works without too much fighting). So I'm hoping some of you guys can help me out with video settings. I want a balance of size/quality. and to keep size as far under 1gb each as possible for a standard 90 minute movie. I'm also a huge Futurama/American Dad/ Family Guy/ Simpsons/Southpark fan so obviously lower quality can be used, so if you have converted this type of animated stuff, what settings seemed to give the smallest size while retaining quality for the TF700? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

IMHO even for animation thats way to low a bitrate. I would go with handbrake high profile, shoot for 3-5mbps 720p if they are HD originals. If they are 480p originals then maybe you're ok with that bitrate.
Personally i shoot for 4gb movies.

This isnt going to be my sole movie experience device. This is my travel and work companion. 1-1.5 is where I stick for a good action movie. But comedies and such I go lower. Animation I stick around 700mb. When im getting drunk on an airplane, I want to make sure my movies arnt blotchy and pixilated, but they dont have the be blue ray quality. I run a media server at home (plex) and that's where I keep the levels far higher.
I may have to give hand brake a try, I have been using format factory for years because I can make so many adjustments and chose the containers and formats.
get dvdcatalyst to convert your movies. It has a few presets for all devices. they can range from 1 to 4gb, depending on the initial size of the movie and the quality you want. i highly recommend it.
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T
I appreciate the advice. I don't have an issue converting, I'm just trying to get some feedback as to the actual presets your using as to ratio, bit rate, file type and container types, so on.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk 2
Here's what I personally use, you can set what you like otherwise...
For TV DVD sources, I convert them from anamorphic to square pixel, and then crop widescreen movies as necessary. 640x480 SD videos I use a bitrate of 1mbps. Widescreen stuff I give 1.5mbps. These are the copies I watch on the TV, tablet, phone, whatever and I can't tell any quality difference between the original and the h264 encode. At these levels I can fit all of Home Movies, Futurama S1-5, The Office S1-4 and all of ATHF on one 64gb card.
For movies, since these are just portable copies and not my full versions for home viewing, I use the same standards above for SD sources, and for HD sources I scale it down to 720p, crop if necessary, and use a 2mbps bitrate. (you could insist on a 1080p encode, but on a 10" screen are you really going to notice the difference and need to add in the extra bps?) You get a little more pixelation at times, but nothing unwatchable. This keeps it light enough to stream over my local network and small enough that you can fit a lot on while still being a good watchable version.
All audio I drop to a 96kpbs stereo mix.
This is what works for me. What works for any of you may be different depending on what you use it for.
Exactly what I was looking for.

what are the appropriate codec (video & audio) settings to get hardware acceleration and native player support?

For the native player you need h.264(avc) video and stereo aac audio.
i have movies that are h264 and DTS 5.1. I just drop them on my 64gb card (inserted into the doc) and they play fine, nice and crisp. No need to convert. They are about 4gb in size.

120 fps video quality

So I have noticed that when I film 120 fps video with the camera, there is only an option for 720 and it looks all pixelated. Is this a physical limitation of the camera, or is it just to avoid massive files. If it is not a physical limitation, does anyone know of an app that will let you film 120fps in 1080 or 4K? If there are many apps that do this, which are your favorite and why?

as far as i know, it's a physical limitation. And the reason it looks pixelated is cause it's actually less than 720p and upscaled.

Is there a way to get videos to play at 120fps on other devices?

They'll always play at 120 fps. You need to use a video editing software to slow it down though.
So the camera doesn't actually record in 4k or 1080p?

It does, just not at 120 fps. 1080p goes at 60, and 4k goes at 30.

It can do both. I recommend not using 4k though because as the user above said, it's only 30 fps. 30 fps is not bad but you'll notice the FPS more than you'll notice the extra resolution which you probabaly only have one device (your g3, which is 2k) that can actually show close to that resolution.

May I ask which one you use to do that on a PC?
Thanks.

You only need a player that can slow the video playback, on a PC most players can. I haven't looked into any on android but I'm sure they exist

yes true, but if you slow it down with software beforehand it will play slow everywhere automatically and then you can upload it to youtube or similar services.

'Cinema Motion' on Samsung plasma tv's plays back at 24fps for smooth movie like motion. I love it compared to the nasty 60/120/240 hz refresh of LCD monitors. If you go to a warehouse club like sam's or costco, you can compare side by side... IF you can find any plasmsas for sale anymore. YMMV.
