[Q] Network streaming and buffering bugs. - MX Player

I'd like to ask you guys about the bugs surrounding "network streaming and buffering". Right now, it's impossible to watch anything transcoded (with, for example UMS) with MX Player because the video stops after about a minute, something to do with buffering. ler0y (a contributor to the UMS project) knows more about it, he explains a little bit more in this thread/post. Transcoding files is essential for someone like me who has a Nexus 7, it's very hard to watch Hi10p files on my device without frame drops which, as you might be aware, is very prevalent in the anime scene. The problem doesn't exist when streaming a file, only when transcoding.
Thanks for your time.

This is reported alredy, its known that MXPlayer lacks of buffering.
I hope its solved soon.

Yes, I realise it has been reported. The bugs have been present since at least 2013 for me and, apparently, since at least 2010 for this person. At this, rate it doesn't seem like it will ever be fixed.

The developer is right now working on major upgrade which will improve network performance.

The issue is definitely well known, and the developer is working on it. As to when it will be released, well, that's for whenever he feels the fix is comprehensive.

[Q] YouTube HD playback problem

Hi guys, i just got my transformer and I love it but I have a little problem, HD videos in youtube app stutters!! t is not a connection problem, on my computer they play perfect, and anyway I let it load it the whole video to avoid connection problems.
The video still stutters, sometimes it plays full framerate, but the second after it is jerky!!
Anyone have the same problem?
Should I return it?
MP4 720p in video player just play fine...
PS: I also noticed i have some LCD backlight bleed problem... awwww man...
If hd flash is important it might not be the best solution.
Could wait and hope for a fix, but the tablet market is moving fast, always a risk companies will move on to the next gen product.
So far Tegra 2 + honeycomb seems not ideal, after all the hype?

Flash is not involved here, I am speaking of the official youtube app which should have no stuttering.
Anyone has the same problem??

Not got that problem. Does it still stutter for you via the browser as well?
Mine used to pause a few times when watching videos in the Youtube app but this appears to have been fixed with the latest firmware update.

No yputube app does not use flash, in fact i uninstalled FlashPlayer from tablet to be sure of that.
I have the same issue. Coming from a Xoom I noticed it almost immediately. If there is stock soon, I will go to the store and have it replaced. Otherwise I might just return it. There are things I can deal with, stuttering video is not one of them.
Better to wait for Tegra 3 devices in August ?
http://www.geek.com/articles/chips/...e-tegra-3-chip-in-tablets-by-august-20110216/
Or 4 more months after that, until 2012 and get something better! or keep waiting until 2014 and get the best one in their roadmap!

Actually once it can do 1080p high profile, I could care less what is coming out since it would be the complete package. A Tegra 3 device seems like it could be the one. Definitely selling my Transformer and getting a Tegra 3 tablet when it comes out.
I think the problem is related to the youtube app, i had a trip to a local store with an Iconia A500 and played with it a bit. It had the same problem, i doubt a replacement would do the trick. i suppose an OTA update with a revised version of the youtube app or some tweak should be enough.

If thats the case then I don't mind at all, but it's something that I'd like to know *officially*. It's not something that has to be fixed immediately, but I'd like to know that the issue lies with the app and not my hardware.
Edit: But, at the same time, I didn't think many other people were having the same issue.. ?
stuttering playback was an initially known issue with honeycomb. Like someone else mentioned though, the firmware seemed to resolve that issue. Might want to make sure you have the latest and greatest version.

ya mines the US version of the 20110423.. first thing I checked.
It just crummy because my buddy loved my Xoom, especially the Youtube app (hes got a relatively large presence on youtube) and when he went to watch one of his videos (G20 Battle of Toronto) it was stuttering. It's like it will be smooth for a few seconds then get choppy . The audio never skips a beat though.
Just noticed a flash update on the market. Don't know if it'll help you or not. Looks like its now out of beta or something. I didnt really read it all before i installed it. Version 10.2.156.12.
Edit: Bah the irony. Now I'm getting the stuttery video. I wasnt before.

i just did the update and its still stuttering on videos
I know i read somewhere that asus was working with google on it. Maybe they still havent completely ironed it out yet. Remember, its still early for honeycomb...
how do you set the youtube app to 720p? i only see an option for HD

[Bug] Bluetooth Sync

Love MX Pro! Your H/W+ was the only thing that fixed my video stuttering issue on my HTC One with Android 4.4.2, thanks! My question is if there is a way to fix the Bluetooth audio lag while watching videos? It's about 1-2 seconds off. I think it's a Android bug, and did not have the problem on my HTC Sensation on ICS.
I would think this is an android bug as well. It's been mentioned on the old forum before:
https://groups.google.com/d/topic/mx-videoplayer/KlZenh0VFR4/discussion

Yes - it's an Android bug, but funnily enough, apps like YouTube don't have any (noticeable) lag. I posted about this a year ago, as well (here), as it was supposed to have been fixed by then - but as it still happens, it clearly hasn't been. I've had to stop using MX Player Pro because of this (I play video through my hearing aids via Bluetooth). Fingers crossed the developer will (eventually) fix this...

It's seems to be audio latency issue. Either It may be from ROM or Headset.
Kindly try the latest nightly version. It has an option to audio offset. You can even set default audio offset for bluetooth devices.

Well that's good maybe Sony will release an update for XZP in the future. Why you said "abandoned"? It seems like you are overreacting a little bit...
Enviado desde mi G8141 mediante Tapatalk
Being an owner of the XZ Premium I will say that Sony's communication is basically non-existent when it comes to fixing issues. But I also notice that it appears that they are silently, slowly, fixing issues within their monthly security updates. Is this their way of not having to admit any problems??? Maybe! But I think they are, or for sure will, fix as much as they can on the Premium while also working on getting Oreo installed on this phone. Of course I could be completely wrong, but after participating on the Sony forum as well as here, it seems like more and more the issues are being stealthily fixed .
yes!!!

Drama Queen ?
Sorry, the source has been post again ,and confirmed that XZ1 still keep the serious distortion as XZP.
He said he did not know which distortion we are talking about. For sure to change other brand now. Will never buy any sony mobile product again. The final post here.

Netflix and other streaming apps ?

So I got my phone yesterday and installed all the stuff I usually use , question is why does Netflix and other streaming apps look horrible on this phone ? Is it because of the screen ? I was using an old iPhone 6 as a temp while I waited for this and video looked so much nicer on that screen even on 480p. Anyone else think the playback on this is bad or is it just me ? I did have a note 8 but I sold it to try this phone, wanted to try something new. I know lcd and amoled are on each device but I don't think it should be that bad of a difference if I think an iPhone 6 looks better , any thoughts ? What's your experience with this coming from another phone flagship or not ? :good:
This is over data and wifi and both have decent speeds for netflixing or even YouTube IMO
Two different apns for T-Mobile in s.california
Edit also binge is off on my account
Hi,
im thinking to buy this phone , can you explain what do you mean that looks bad ? can you take a photo of the "issue" with another phone ?
thanks
I think I just found the problem to this. Correct me if I am wrong.
I believe there seems to be the same problem with mix 2. There is a licensing called widevine L3. And it only let's the device play on SD quality. Not HD. so... I think we are in a bit of a dilemma.

From what I'm reading Netflix isn't a app fault it's a phone thing it won't play anything pass 480p because of drmservices , I fixed YouTube with a moded version set it to 1080 on default I'm looking for a Netflix fix but I doubt will get one
I may have found a solution...

is very disappointing in case , would be good to know if will be present in mi mix 2s global version as well.
I just checked with DRM info app. The device supports only widevine level 3. But level 1 is required for netflix in hd,unfortunately.
It is just a matter of software (free of any licencing fees), though, we might ask xiaomi to implenent it..
I did send suggestion thru their feedback section I think we should all do it maybe they'll actually do something about it

You would have been better going a bit more in-depth, asking them specifically to add Widevine Level 1, to enable HD streaming

I believe all Mi Mix iterations have the issue, regardless of the ROM. BUT!, Widevine is owned or whatever by Google, so with Google giving the Mix 2s the Android P Dev Previews, I wonder if they would have included the L1 DRM for HD streaming

Its the same with oneplus.
Again, if anyone knows someone who's running the dev preview, please get them to check, we'd appreciate it.
I don't think it's how it works with Netflix. Even if your device has software and hardware compatible with Netflix level of DRM, Netflix still will need to certify it, before you will be able to watch HDR10 resolution
That's why we root and install custom ROMs ;-/

Best to keep it as it is.
If every update comes with its own thread then the forums just going to be spammed every month.
One thread to contain all software updates and discussion would be better
The number have different scheme than last month's
Hoping this update contains a lot more fixes/improvements!
Hope so..
Slow starting camera....
Hope for the fix of 4k video recording stabilization. This doesn't exists at all for now...I am expecting many other bugs and enhancements.

Anyone else got the update? So far nothing for CE1.
However, those are only copy paste of Google's security patch, no changelog because in fact there are no other changes, no fixes for the issues...
In this matter X1 is device abandoned by sony, call reception is weak, my calls sre hanging so the person I am talking to cannot hear me. Check dBms, signal reception is so poor...
My last device from sony. Company abandoned the users, so users abandon the company.
The only thing we can hear of is more and more apps to be decommisioned, Xperia Longue until end of month, what's next?
I hate stock Android.

Phones only been out a couple months so give it time for more meaningful updates. If you have issues with signal and call hanging then take this up with Sony and get a new device

How is the X1 "abandoned" while they have just released an update? If your call reception is weak, do some troubleshooting first.
Sell/return your X1 and get a new phone. No need to announce your departure.

Enviado desde mi J9110 mediante Tapatalk
Complete & utter nonsense, the Xperia 1 is "abandoned" because we got the August patch and that's it?... At least we're actually getting the security patches on time, if you've owned a Xperia device before you know how Sony do things, instead of rolling out half-assed fixes that don't hold up or become more buggy (Samsung) they take time to fully resolve the issues then roll out the updates
Sony put so much emphasis on the camera's of the Xperia 1 to show they're listening to consumers, they made it clear to us that the Alpha team is working closely, although this is irrelevant to the topic, it's hard to see such ignorance and say nothing..
I'll also like to add my signal is fine in the UK on EE :good:
If abandoned, why Xperia 1 will have Android Q in October November and others in 2020
