[Q] Problem with YouTube video playback

Hello,
Suddenly I have a problem with YouTube video playback. The videos start streaming ok, but the appear small (not fullscreen) and very low quality. It used to work fine. The locally recorded videos play nice even in 720p. The problem is with the streaming video player.
I installed the LagFix (which works miracles) at somepoint earlier. Do you think that this could cause this problem? Any one else has seen it? The device is a Samsung S.
Thanks,
Michael

[Q] Samsung stock video player lag? Video/audio sync issues

Anyone else having issues with the video and audio not syncing properly when watching video? I tried the many video programs including the stock Samcung Video Player and everything seems to lag.
Tried transferring video files through Samsung Kies and simple drag-and-drop...and both have same results.
Wondering if it's my phone that is defective?
Thanks!

I've been using the Video Player with a ton of downloaded content and in general I find at the best of times the audio is off by a fraction of a second.
Yesterday I had a giant lag in an episode of Mad Men that was working just fine earlier that day.
I loaded up the task manager (Froyo build) and killed everything, restarted the video player and it seemed to improve.

Video Player Lag

Anybody else having severe lag when playing back 1080p videos taken with the phone? I uploaded the videos onto my PC and they playback smoothly but on the phone it's a choppy mess. I've tried clearing cache and data using the app manager for the video player but it doesn't help.

Mine do that as well. Not sure why.

There is something wrong with either the OS or the hardware. I've tried multiple video players from the market & I get the same results. :banghead:

720p movies play fine. Why are you watching 1080p movies on a screen that isn't even 1080p? Just a question so please no knee jerk reactions here.

i only have a couple 1080p videos that i converted to < 4gb and stayed that way. i put them on the internal sdcard. although ive only watched a couple minutes of them..they play fine for me on stock video player. the others converted to > 720p but not sure what exactly thats called..lol. i use audioconvertor to rip dts track out and make ac3 audio because my tv doesnt support dts automatically but only the stereo does.

I record them in 1080p so that I can take advantage of my 1080p TV. I use the mhl adapter but because the video player is laggy it lags on my TV also. My Gnex doesn't lag with 1080p vids so I would hope the S3 wouldn't as well.

mkv video playback lags

Hi, all. I own xperia Neo V, recently rooted. I use MX player for video playback. There seems to be a lag at random intervals during video playback, especially playing mkv files. During the lag, audio continues to play while video displays as a still picture and then delayed video gets played back at a very fast pace. Then video playback continues fine and then lags with similar issue at another random interval. The lag happens for 5-8 seconds . I would like to know if any workaround for this problem? Does anyone face similar issue?

Hi! What is the resolution of the video? Because the Neo and Neo V screen resolution is only 720p and it won"t play full hd videos, but 720p videos is working well. I have Xperia Neo and it's not playing the full hd vids with any player! The sound goes as it should, bat the screen freezes. Reduce the video size and it will work...

The resolution is 576*432
I tried BSplayer, QQplayer too. all lag at random intervals

I use Moboplayer (the one with a "green triangle on a grey circle" icon), and it plays everything, except full hd vids. The max reslution is 1280x720, but even Quickpic plays too. So i dunno what the problem is... What rom are you using and kernel? Maybe you run out of free memory during playback... Have you download the codec for MX player? When I first install it, it's need the MX Player Kodek (ARMv7 NEON)...
But now I probe one video (1280x720) and Quickpic plays it, I'm able to scrolling too...

I tried Mobo before. One thing that I love about MX is that it's HW acceleration feature is excellent which boost your volume twice, and all other players including Mobo can't match this boost. That's the only reason stopping me to use other apps. Anyways, thanks for hinting Moboplayer, will try it out again. Regarding Quikcpic, I use it only to view my pictures, new used it to play any video.

[Q] Dice player cuts off video from sides ?

I have been using Dice video player for sometime, mostly because it has playback speed control.
But I notice that for some videos (mkv 1280x720), it cuts off the sides, especially top and bottom parts, as if zoomed in.
same video plays fine in MX player.
Anyone using dice player and notice this problem ?
Any suggestions to solve this ?
Another thing is when taking a screenshot with this player, i only get a black screen image.
what could be causing this ?
Thanks
