Same here, even with highlandsun's video codecs it seems we can't play the video.

Probably due to same issue with HQ Youtube videos huh?

How can I bypass the "This device is not supported by Netflix" that I get when clicking on a title on my Instant Queue, so I can see if it is working or if it just audio only. Is there a way to spoof the app into thinking I am on a supported phone? If so, please tell me how to do it. Thanks.

There is an apk that will not check for device compatiblity but yeah no video. For me it plays audio and then it kicks out back to the queue. I wish it worked. Anything we can do?

Can't tell anything without knowing what codec / format Netflix is using in this app. I'm sure they're using H.264, but if it's not H.264 Baseline Profile then our phone hardware can't decode it. And if it's larger than 640x360 resolution, our current codec can't handle it.
I don't have a Netflix account so I haven't tried to see what formats they're using.
The current codec we have is written in C++ with threads. I'd say that's at least a 10% performance hit right there; if it was written well, in straight C, it would probably have achieved the 800x480 that Qualcomm's original spec claimed.

Netflix released an updated app today with support for more devices. I get the main screen, then loading, then the playback screen and nothing .... black screen. Nerts.

I'm not sure what 'nerts' are, but the new video playback libs might be necessary... Anyone with those new libs given this new app a shot?

nerts = nuts = really mild profanity
I actually have the new libs installed already. I'm running a RHOD500 with the latest kernel, overclocked to 710 Mhz, in case that matters.

HQ YouTube works more or less. There's a little stutter sometimes, and some HQ videos start and then stop after 5 or 10 seconds, and some others play just fine. Oh, and the libs fixed video playback of the mp4 movies I already had on my device.
Weird thing is, YouTube under WinMo refuses to play HQ videos at all.
Nerts is funnier.

It used to. Some time back YouTube changed something, and now HQ videos play without sound (I was thinking they didn't play at all). Supposedly you can fix this by changing your network to "media," but I don't have that option any more since I upgraded to 6.5.

I just rebooted to see. Worked fine for me, I'm on 6.5 - but I used Opera... I don't know if there's some app that I should be using, perhaps it wasn't truly HQ.
Either way, if it used to then there shouldn't be anything limiting the hardware. Seems hyc went thru all that pretty thoroughly tho.

I'm using Dot's latest rom dated 04-23-11 and it does play HQ youtube flawlesly, unlike NRG's which for some reason have a little choppy sound while the video plays, or it could just be my old tilt2

I was using the HTC YouTube app. I tried it on two different 6.5 TP2s and they both do the same thing, HQ video plays, but no sound.
And your right. I know the hardware is capable, just somewhere along the way something in the software got screwed up on YouTube's end or mine.

Anybody try changing the build.prop to HTC vision or desire z or any of the phones that works with Netflix that's how we have it working already in my section

I don't think the new version checks to see what model you're running.

The new Netflix app has a LOT of compatibility issues.
They still can't get it working on most Huawei S7 ROMs, and that device can do 720p easily.

rhod FRX05 video playback - codec/app-tips?

Hi,
with WiMo i was able to play podcasts (h264/aac, 368x208, ~200kBit/s) somewhat smooth with TCMP. With android i get - well - with some luck a frame per minute. I would have said its because of a incomplete/non-optimized GPU-Driver but Youtube (SD) plays fine so for me this looks more like a codec/app-issue. Has anyone already looked for a solution? Any tips on codecs/apps that should work?
SD works, yes. HD/HQ youtube does not however, and I think it's related to a scaling issue.
We're not done with the port... I think this is a pretty minor bug considering the other major ones we have out there....

...hm… for me exactly this looked like a codec-thing… i dont know the mobile side but for pc i remember something like VP6 for SD and X264 for HD on Youtube. But thanks for the tip, i'll look into this direction too.

As you already said in another thread: Everyone has his own priorities
Just see this thread as my notepad - i collect my results/ideas here, if someone has made own tests he can add his results and if someone wants to have a look on his own he knows what has been tried already…
B2T: With the described movie i have about 10-20% free CPU-cycles so this should not be the bottleneck. hw3d has no effect (guess this doesnt really affect 2d acceleration). Changing from fullscreen/stretched to original size showed also no difference

Not a bad idea, I'd like to see this bug squashed.
I've heard it was a scaling issue - have you tried different resolutions? I know someone tried the native resolution of our RHOD, but that didn't work either... I guess I'd be surprised if it is codec, as you can get frozen frames on YouTube HQ and audio plays just fine. I am by no means an expert here tho .

I am no expert either but would not the codec be contained in the software such as Utube. And the Multimedia architecture would mostly bypass the Processor. So the problem to me would seem to be routing and timing issue. Thus the beggining frames play but stop due to the loss of coordination.

I would think its the processors job to coordinate the frame of reference for the timing. The actual MMS stuff would use that frame of reference to process the video according to the codec provided in the software. The routing and or timing could be screwed because HTC needs a way to get around patent laws. The could have done something as simple as changed polarity or phase or something more complicated as recode with another chip. The audio would works because its simple to process. Our drivers are not doing what needs to be done to process the information. It would have nothing to do with the codec which is contained in the software. Like I said I am guessing.

Then again the Architecture in our older phones might not be fast enough to process the HQ resolutions.
No, this isn't a question of processing power, it's a matter of having the right codecs installed. I've seen Youtube HQ working on my phone before, running one of tiad8's FroyoX builds with camera kernel, months ago.
The behavior you see where you can skip around and see one good frame, but otherwise nothing, is caused by the actual encoding of the video, and the current codec lacking support for it. (The difference between B frames, I frames, and P frames, if you care to look that up...)

That is based off of Tiads cut and paste Blazn if I am correct which was good for video playback but everything else was buggy. This proves HQ can work on our phones.
My question here is wouldnt the Codec that was required by the utube app. be contained within that app. or if it was not when it tried to play back and the codec was missing you would get nothing or a reference to download the required codec such as happens with other operating systems.
Or if the codec is contained in our current version intact. Then it is not referencing the codec properly which goes back to what I originally said about timing and the coordination with the MMS architecture on the phone. It looks as though Tiad had found the proper channeling. Did he leave anyone any information about this before he left this forumn?

He never gave anyone anything useful from his builds.
He was just slapping stuff together, and would see what stuck to the wall.
I heard people had issues with his builds on HQ youtube, and I even tested his junk and wasn't able to get HQ to work... so I think it's just more BS from him.

I think I remember reading the issue the with getting decent video playback wit the MSM GPU is is getting information on the hardware. The codec used to play HQ video on Windows mobile comes from HTC and is written specifically for the MSM7x chipset using proprietary information - information which is not available to everyone, or can only become available for a price and an NDA.
Perhaps there is binary blob that can be used?

Perhaps a binary blob could be dug up, but we couldn't use it in the AOSP builds. Only custom builds would be able to use it, or individuals will just have to integrate it themselves.

If we can't get source, so be it - but a proprietary blob does very little good in the scope of this type of project. I want everyone to have the best Android experience possible, I don't want just a few builds working correctly and others borked. That sucks.

XBMC on the ATP

So now we have an XBMC .apk http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1772433
Has anyone else tried it? It works well for me. It works well with my TV via HDMI
edit
I'm running andowook with _motley's latest kernel.
I get very low volume, even if I go into sound and bump it up.
35 minutes into the movie, the app stopped for no reason.
docking and undocking seem to close the app
I haven't got green flickers yet, but I get the green flickers in openelec all the time, so thats not android specific.
For me it the audio on it is crap and sometimes the whole app flickers rapidly.
Maybe I need to reboot...

I have tried it, mainly streaming video from my Serviio server and it works like a charm. What an amazing app. And it can only get better,
Definitely reboot. About the 3rd time I fired it up after installing some add ons it began running like a charm. The first time you use it there may be a very long start and turn off period. That's ok.
The XBMC interface is running smoothly on my TP.
When i try to stream (WiFI) a X264 movie with DTS over SMB it stutters like mad.
I hope this is because of network speed. I'll try to play the same movie over USB, i hope this works better.
But overall, it's its nice to see XBMC on my Prime

It is software only. I have always used it as a content streamer though, not much as a local player.
I wonder if this can and will support HDMI CEC.
I gave it ago on my Prime running the stock rom, i was quite impressed with how well it worked.
I could map my SMB network shares on my Windows Home Server perfectly and XBMC would stream anything SD fine, 720p MKV played some what ok with random frame drops / jerkiness every couple of seconds, 1080p video was very jerky and not really any watchable.
Plugins such as the BBC iPlayer worked (sometimes buggy), YouTube and Ted Talks also worked very well.

I may be wrong but I believe that these versions of XBMC don't support hardware acceleration just yet. I haven't been on top of the development of this app but that tidbit was enough for me to wait for the final release.

There are two builds AFAIK

I had the same issue... It's because somehow it doesn't work when your volume isn't at anything but 100%. If it's set to the loudest it can be, the sound works fine.
It's not dead yet. Plenty of ROM development going on in the dev section.

XBMC 12 Frodo
Has anyone tried XBMC 12 Frodo RC3 on ATP? I have a TF201. I'm a long time user of XMBC since the original Xbox, and the app looks great. I'm very happy to see this. But unfortunately, with this version, the videos lag quite a bit and I get absolutely no audio. I've tried changing the audio out options and playing music/video with no luck. I did not yet try pushing the video/music out through HDMI yet, but not really much point yet.
Anyone else trying have experience with this?

Audio lags behind Video stream

Not sure if it's just me, but when I'm watching video streams, anything from ESPN, YouTube, browser embedded videos, or HTC Media Streamer based content, Audio stream noticeably lags behind. About half a second actually.
Has anyone noticed this behavior, and what's the solution?
Thanks.
i've noticed it lags on the videos that you record. the audio is a little quicker than the video.
Yup that's exactly the case. Audio lags behind video in pretty much anything that's using HTC's native "Streaming Media Player". Massive and consistent lag.
Netfilx, WatchESPN, and similar third party apps don't lag as much though.

I'm talking anything, not only your camera content. If you get TubeMate and download any YouTube video onto your phone, and then play it with the default player, you'll notice a massive lag. Doesn't matter if HD or SD content. The phone is definitely NOT struggling to keep up.
The issue has to be within the actual OS settings.

In YouTube app lag isn't as drastic, but if you download the video and then watch, we're talking over 250ms. I also restored recently, same issue.
Am I the only one having this issue?!
i haven't downloaded any videos on to this thing so i really can't say lol
so wow, I was just watching a youtube video and yeah... the audio was slower than the video. I bet it has to do with the full HD screen.. what else could it be? ugh pretty damn annoying. this sucks because I'm anal as hell when it comes to audio and video lag...

Even when streaming within YouTube app, the lag is present, it's just not as evident. However, when playing any content loaded onto the device, the lag is north of 250ms which is major!
Another example is my subscription to Futubox which has two ways of delivering HD content, browser flash based, and m3u8 where HTC MEdia Streamer handles the content natively. Flash plays perfectly in sync (although drains more battery), but m3u8, or rtmp/rtsp lags terribly.
I've tried the same exact m3u8 stream on an iPad 3 and a PC, no lag whatsoever, even when AirPlayed.
I simply mentioned TubeMate because it's the easiest way to grab video content onto the storage. Besides that, TubeMate downloads whatever the digital source is, could never be the cause if the issue.
This is OS level issue, and it's real.
so it seems screen resolution is the culprit. btw guys I've reported this to htc, and sent the link for this thread. They're in contact with me. I suggest you report it too

Is the problem that Atrix cannot play 720p or above due to codec problems?

I have been through that forum and tried different versions of YT/ and installing methods.
New versions still plays better than older 2.4.4.
Many do play but a number don't - and unsure how to tell if they are HD etc (no icons in corner)
- various error messages - example attached
Since trying some youtube players (ie cutnpaste url - helps on many of them)
Same videos on S3 play no probs though...
MIght be something that I have to live with (1st world problems!)
The HD icon won't ever show in portrait (not enough room), but it will almost always show if you flip your phone to landscape.

Okay - but if there is a problem playing then there is still no choice to toggle.
NB: currently using YT4.4.11 developed by theos)o Buildv4

any reason why videos that won't play in youtube will play in NextVid app?
Is there an easier way of copying url from youtube to nextvid?

Netflix HDR Playback issue

Hi all,
So far I am liking the phone, I am having an issue and I dont know if it's me or what. When I was regular shows/movies on Netflix (HD) it looks great, no issues what so ever. But when I view HDR shows the whole thing has a really bad brownish tint to it.
I tried to take a screen shot of it but it would not let me do that. I dont know if I did something wrong in the settings which in the display part it is set to Movies and the Enhanced Video Color is turned on as well.
If you need more information to help me fix this issue please me know.
Thanks in advance
Is anyone else having similar issues or is it just me?
I'm not signed up for Netflix 4k (which is the plan to get HDR), so there's no way I can test it.

Thank you for responding though. Hope someone else is able to test it
Have you tried an HDR video on YouTube? I tried one the other day, and it looked fantastic.

Yes I have. It looks great. Only problem I am having is HDR in the Netflix app. I talked to Netflix and they said they never head of the problem before. But videos everywhere else works and looks amazing
Oh man, forgot this phone played hdr videos. They are amazing! Don't have Netflix, but they are great on YouTube.

Is there a setting in the netflix app for HDR?
Watched some on Youtube labeled 4K HDR ... and they were off the charts perfect.

Just a standard and a high option and mine is set to high. I know, every other app like youtube and so on plays it perfect. May jusy be the Netflix app itself
Mine do not appear to play in HDR either and the video information shows HDR on the description. I wish it would show an HDR logo like my TV when it is playing in HDR. As far as youtube, what HDR resolution do you guys use? Mine is a bit choppy in 720p and skips frames badly at anything above.
I set my Youtube to 4K ... it was flawless over wifi ..
TMobile limits you to 480p to keep unlimited usage.
All, my Sony Xperia xz premium does indeed show HDR when I look up the Daredevil series. BTW it's a good to test the screen with. Anyway the V30 only shows HD so my feeling is that we are not watching HDR. I could be that Netflix hasn't authorized the V30 for HDR viewing as of yet. As I recall it took a bit for the XZP to get added to the white list.
Just got my V30 US998 and I noticed the same thing with HDR Netflix playback. It's similar to what I've seen with some early "HDR Compatible" TVs that are technically capable of receiving the signal, but not applying the appropriate processing or color mapping to make it look right. It could just be that Netflix needs to update the app to support the V30, or maybe it will be fixed with a future system update. Youtube does look great, but I'm not 100% sure that's playing in HDR properly either because there's no indication one way or another.
Question on the HDR youtube videos... I saw a screenshot somewhere (not v30) showing that you could actually choose HDR as a separate "quality setting". i.e. you'd have "480p, 720p, 1080p, 720pHDR, 1080pHDR" so on and so forth. My youtube doesn't show that. Is there any way to confirm that it's actually playing in HDR?
It looks out of this world, so it probably already is playing HDR, but just figured I'd check for sanity.
Same for me. HDR videos on Netflix are washed out. As if Netflix is rendering the video in a different colorspace. HD videos are fine.

Look on your phone, the LG help app. They mentioned the V30 does not have a certain codec or something for HDR playback ... ?

Tried looking for it but couldn't find the discussion you're talking about. Any chance LG is actively looking into this issue?
