On my P500 original ROM + custom kernel caveman , the interactive governor seems to work very choppy in video playback .
How does it flow for you guys in video playback and what ROMs do you use?
Works fine for me. What's the video's resolution, bitrate, and codecs used?
uhhh I think all videos at 640X272 , 632X372 ( some tv shows I watch ) they run very bad . What I tested so far was avi , xvid . At around 1200 bit rate
What player do you use and have any of you found a player that can actually run a video with a rez above 640X480?
At 800mhz speed ( oc'ed the cpu ) and adreno 200 should be able to handle at least D1 rez or even 720p .
I've read a lot about the O1 falling short of the VGA resolution. Anyway, I get choppy playback with a video that's even less than VGA, but it doesn't bother me that much. For that video I used RockPlayer since every other video playing app I used choked the file out. So yeah, try rockplayer
I did try Rockplayer and that one works just horrible with almost every video . Now problem is if you have the full version . I only tried the lite version.
I'm out of ideas xD I'm actually waiting for the guys behind VLC to release a port. I've read somewhere that they'll be releasing an Android version soon
Still the problem pointed out in this thread remains unchallenged . How does the interactive governor work for you people and to those who have good performance overall with ( a bit better battery life ) snappier actions and decent video play , what ROM's do they use .
I'm interested to know because I think interactiv G. doesn't really work that well with stock ROM/.

I can only second your observations. Im on stock rom with the oc/touchscreenfix kernel at 748 MHz. With the stock player and interactive governor vids are choppy but they play fine if it is set to the on demand governor. I even had vids aborting with an error message i cant recall right now.
Exactly excor. That's why I want to know on which ROM , interactive actually fully works. Not being able to play videos is a big fault for me .
Also you should consider downloading from the market Mplayer . It plays videos very well and also adds a lot more functionality like Zoom to fit screen which we all know that most videos are ratio 16:9 and phone screen ratio is 4:3.
Got distracted by the video part. I'll be testing interactive governor now. Give me a day By the way, I'm on Light ROM(basically stock minus the garbage) and Der_Caveman's v3 kernel.
Update: Interactive governor scaling performs the short bench a few milliseconds faster than ondemand, and yes, I tested it a few times and not just once.
However, SetCPU has this little problem with reverting back to my default frequency settings when a profile has been activated. For example, my default setting is 768MHz max, and I turn the screen off(goes down to 320MHz, my setting). When I turn my screen on and check SetCPU, the max frequency setting stays at the one in the profile, and I have to re-set the frequency to set it.

I tested today Youtube and I have to say this device has some serious issues in video playback . I guess it's either that ARMv6 is very limited in some categories or optimisations for it just suck balls .
HQ format on youtube worked horrible and after some time running it , it would give out an error : Cannot play format ( something like that ) . 800 mhz speed should be able to eat videos alive .
I've no problems with HQ Youtube Even a video that's near VGA resolution plays fine.
How about primev2? Do you think it has better video playback?
im waiting for coreplayer android release ;p
i dont know why but interactive hurts when scrolling on a page, switching through the main menu....i tried like all the ROMs here and m content with megatron and mik_os's kernel and set cpu set 600-245 conservative..plus i have a control over background apps using autostarts,watchdog lite etc...so even with conservative scheduling phone's snappy enough and video playback is smooth with nearly VGA resolutions

My phone plays HQ youtube videos really smooth and perfect. No lags, no errors no problem. And im not even OCd. I think the problem is in your software not because it only has armv6.
When i was on stock rom. Im using mvid payer. It works really good and smooth near vga res. (1gig for more than 1 hour)
. Never tried any videos res higher than that

This happens to me too. It occurs when one switches too fast between apps/videos while using the youtube application or long uptimes. The only fix so far is to reboot the system, then it's back to normal. If anybody has experienced this, I would like to know too.
ok what roms do you guys use? Currently I use LOL rom 1.2

I don't think so. By the way, try disabling HW Accelleration and stagefright. Also, check if SetCPU is properly restoring it's frequency settings when you come out of a screen lock. Interactive governor works fine for me(but for me ondemand is more responsive).
And oh, I'm using Light

I understand due to the lack of driver source code that Hardware acceleration will not work on our tabs past 2.2(froyo). But I am currently running Calkulin+Clemsyn 1.5ghz Froyo Combo VERSION 6: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1024120 and I have tried at least 20 diff videos and diff formats using hardware codec and not one video played. I know you can use apps to play videos with software codecs but when you start going into 720p and 1080p videos the video slows way down. So is there something I'm missing? I thought the tegra 2 could handle 1080p decoding? If there is another ROM that can do HD decoding better please let me know cause video playback is what I use my tab the most for. Thanks for any help and sorry for the wall of txt lol.
Will punch the thanks button!!!
Edit: Ok after several trial and error's on trying pershoot's kernel I decided to go ahead and re-encode my videos using Freemake video converter. It works and the quality actually looks better! This program is free and it has Android presets for our tablets so that you get the best video quality at our resolution! Now I would still like to use pershoot's kernal but I can't find any froyo roms that has his/her's kernel already packed into the rom. If some one could please help me with finding one that would be super! Thanks soooo much!!!

Hmmm....well I guess I'm gonna have to choose between video acceleration or a stable ROM? :/ lol is there a custom rom with hardware acceleration? Thanks so much for the answer
I used Calkulin's ROM along with whatever current kernel Pershoot had and I never had any issues with and HD videos. You might want to give one of Pershoot's kernels a shot.

Why not re-encode to a lower resolution? The GTab can't even play 720p without resizing, which is what's killing you.
1024x600 - that's the screen size. Re-encode your HD video to be under that. It will play like butter. And be considerably smaller.

Why would they say you can play up to 1080p video, if you really cant? lol Also does it matter if its 600x1024 or 1024x600? The reason I ask is because I see it different all the time lol And one more thing, What program would you suggest to re-encode? Thanks so much for everything!
Edit: Ok so I tried pershoot's newest kernel out and I love it! I get some video acceleration back and it also fixed some sound issues I was having. The only problem is that after I install the kernel it boot's up fine but if I reboot, it gets stuck in a boot loop. If I do a factory reset it will boot back up again. but if I reboot then it gets stuck in a boot loop again. So with that said I don't think this kernel is meant for this ROM. What is the best froyo ROM that includes pershoot's kernel? Thanks for everything!!!!
Has anyone else experienced a decent bit of lag while watching shows over netflix? It's not connection based since my line is 150mbps, and clocking it to 1.2GHz from stock didn't change anything either.
Could just be Netflix itself lagging, or a problem with your service provider. Just because they claim 150 Mbps doesn't mean you'll always get it.
On my device, Netflix usually bounces between 800 MHz and 1 GHz (Netflix apparently does not support hardware decoding... )
Yes, I had the same problem - Netflix audio slightly out of sync. I tested on other devices and determined it was NOT the video source or data stream (no sync problem with other devices viewing same videos using same Internet stream at same time). I installed Tegrak overclock and pumped clock speed up one step (1.1 from 1.0). That solved the Netflix sync problem and hasn't had any negative effect I could detect on my SGP5. I set Negrak to add that slight overclock at boot. So far so good.
I used chainfire on it (4xmsaa)and it has a lot less lag.

Can't think how how that would do anything lol, but I'll try that!
as soon as The video starts I pause it for about 30-90 seconds,
then the video plays fine for about 20mins...
It might be a problem with buffering
if we could take the app apart maybe we could increase the buffer size?
Sorry if this is old news, but I finally got HDMI out working on Task650's 9.8.2012 build for the SGSII. I used a Samsung HDTV adaptor from Amazon and ktoon's FluxiXX kernel. In xxTweaker, I set the I/O Scheduler to bfq and the Exynos Sensor HAL to proprietary. I also set the CPU governor on performance. Videos on my external sdcard were occasionally choppy, but videos on the internal sdcard ran fine.
Also, I had to select the video file and play it through the stock player. MXPlayer, my normal video player, did not work.
I'm going to order the cable then this week. I haven't seen this posted before so yay for me. Lol good post man

Thanks, I hope it works for you. I'm trying to get my posts up so I can thank Task publicly for his ROM!
FYI, this is only partial functionality - hwaccel video playback works, but the UI is not mirrored AND also in the case of hwaccel video, only the video itself shows and NOT any UI overlays.

Hmmm, after I tried 1300/1700, it does not work anymore, even with 1500/1700.
According to CPU spy, BS runs at 1700 all the time, but still I have those micro lags again.
Quit and restart of BS does not help...

great that it worked!...for a while
the difference is huge i agree
300mhz more CPU power doesnt seems that much but it is and you can see it.
i think setting it to the performance governor also made some difference.
also you dont want the CPU clock to be all over the place as it was before (from 200-1000mhz)
there seems to be some problem with SuperSu when its ask for permissions all the time.
when that happends and you are in a movie you will get the lag back even if SetCPU has permision.
you need to change some settings in SuperSu.
i have not tried it yet but it should work
i will update the first post later..

no need to use 1700mhz
that will kill your battery and also higher the risk of thermal throttling for the CPU.
(the CPU clocks down when it gets to hot)
set it to 1300mhz max and 1200mhz min instead.

i am using Nexus Media Importer what are you using?
FYI, the Samsung manual on the Exynos 5 processor in our tablet gives a full list of its hardware decoding capabilities for video. According to the manual it only supports 4.2 profiles and not the much more common 4.1 profiles. It also does not support .mkv files, but not sure if that matters since MKV is just a container and not the codec. But this could be why it isnt using full GPU hardware decoding capabilities of many movies and instead uses so much CPU power:
1080p 60fps (capable of decoding and encoding MPEG-4/H.263/H.264
and decoding only MPEG-2/VC1/VP8)

I tried this trick on Plex too to see if I could minimize the buffering that I've been plagued with. It seemed to help a good amount. There was still some pausing but it happened less often and was of MUCH MUCH MUCH shorter duration (like half a second to one second) and much less intrusive to the watching experience.
Thanks for the tip!

great that it speeds up buffering...didnt know that!
whats is Plex ?
Home media server kind of thing. Run a plex server on a desktop, run the plex app on your tablet and watch your movies, etc. I think part of our buffering problem is a recent change in the setup of the hard drives storing our media files, which we are going to try fixing, but still, set CPU seemed to make things better.

If you read the H.264 wiki, it seems that Levels correspond to supported resolution and frame rate maximums. So all 4.1 encodings should be supported on a 4.2. The BP / MP / HP mean Baseline Profile / Main Profile / High Profile. All different types of encodings.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H.264/MPEG-4_AVC#Levels
MKV is a wrapper. It may never be supported on the built in video player, but all 3rd party (MX Player/BS Player etc) can easily demux the core video data for hardware decoding.

Had it on userspace gov. Trying performance now. Also, wouldn't it seem more logical (to eliminate switching altogether), to set it to 1300/1300?
---------- Post added at 06:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:39 PM ----------
I would not change global SuperSU settings to "grant" instead of "ask".
I configured "grant" and "no notification" for SetCPU and for the ProfilesService instead.
BTW, 1300/1300 also works good for the TimeScape video.
I am really glad someone else finally saw the not-smoothness in video playback. Or maybe some N10 can play smooth without this trick...
Will you inform the BSplayer developers about this? Maybe they can now do something, so that SetCPU is not necessary?
Seems like it may be helping YouTube buffering as well. Need to do some more testing with that.

lol i think they read this
once you have set your profile you dont need to bother with it..so no problem here if its not fixed in BSplayer.
maybe they can fix it but then you probably need root anyway.
i think all N10s perform the same so its no chance you can get this smooth playback with the default setting.
as i said..300mhz is alot for adding performance to an app

i dont know what CPU speed youtube is using but it can be checked with CPUSpy
its easy to make one more profile just for youtube if you need it.
After months of researching why video playback fails on my device, it is because it is using cpu rendering not GPU. That also prevents me from playing +240 videos on YouTube. In VLC beta, I can change the playback device to OpenGL 3.0 and video works awesomely. How can I do this system wide?

This is not a real solution, we want to have hardware accelerated playback like on any normal system.
There is another problem too, I've seen few people mentioning it. It probably affects only integrated intel gpus, hardware accelerated vids look like ****, they have extremely low color depth.
This problem doesn't occur under recent Androidx86, so I hope that they'll switch to new kernel as soon as possible.

Hi all,
samsung xe700t1c - ao4uk convertible laptop tablet
core i5 quad core 1.7 ghz - 2.6 ghz turbo
4gb ddr3
intel HD 4000 ( 2GB video memory )
running version 3.0101 (Marshmallow) from a 544MB/s 64GB Msata drive in a USB 3.0 Enclosure
everything working very fast system (INCLUDING SLEEP AND WAKE UP but havent tested every sensor etc). Sim card function not working so jide please enable sim card function for calling and internet data. Thank you.
so far with an Antutu score of 124,000 i have tested 1080p 60fps HD video playback which plays smooth and crisp and 3d games like Dead Trigger 2 work perfectly.
by default the remix os is in powersave mode but all cpu cores stay on and high which causes battery drain and cpu heat but with a software called 3 cpu manager the problem can be solved easily by setting the max cpu frequency to 800 Mhz on all cores and you also have the ability to change from powersave to performance mode which is what i used to acheive smooth 1080p 60fps video quality! (without overclocking the system 1080p 60fps footage is not possible and laggy!
please enable HDMI audio and widget capability and please make remix os unrooted and create a method to easily root for users who want root that way you have both audience users!
I think you should post your message to this feedback page so that it reaches the developers
