Bluetooth audio + Video nonsync - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone else encounter this issue? i used other older phone(O3D) before and noticed slight frame drop on visual when audio stream via bluetooth (but was in sync)
Using the same bluetooth.
Galaxy S3, mkv format playback seems to have this issue on stock player and MX Player's H/W decoder, S/W or Fast decoder work but most time terrible mis-sync when forward/rewind.
Tried Stock with above issue, using Using CM10 ROMs even worst (understand its still in process, just tried my luck)
any workaround/solutions?
thank you

Is it the same bluetooth set/device that you used on S2?
cause I experienced some bluetooth device(had this problem with backbeat 903/906) always do 1-3s of buffer before we media audio, voice audio is instant.

Yes it is same bluetooth device. Didnt try voice on it yet but mp3,games etc. Have audio lag and its annoying.

I see,
Hope some1 can solve this...want to learn and try but i just changed job to new company, can't get mind off till confirmation from probation.. >.<
more important than "improve speed" etc which visually can't notice...

using hs3000 here, no delays in music and video.
only lag i noticed was when i played samurai 2, the audio lagged for about a second or two.

Freezez on video playback using Rockplayer/Moboplayer

Hi guys,
I have been using the phone for 1 week now. Each time I play a video file (xvid/dvix) encoded using Rockplayer/Moboplayer, my phone randomly hangs. The only way out is to.restart the phone. Has anyone else experienced same issue? This only happens while video playback is going on. And mostly it hangs at exactly same position in the file as before. These files used to play fine on Nexus One and iPhone, so the files are ok. Any suggestions on what could be wrong?

I can't give you a reason why they hang, but i do have a question...
why not use the player on the Galaxy? It's perfectly fine and can handle almost any file type and 1080p HD vids...
I'm using moboplayer, not getting what youre talking about at all. Plays smoothly. And as to the 2nd post for why not use stock player?
Well I watch videos on this while I do cardio everyday... a little over an hour each day. Moboplayer has touch controls. You can swype different parts of the screen in different directions. For example: adjust brightness, skip forward/backward, and control volume. Its a bit easier to use than stock player cause of that. That's my only reason really.

I wish I could just do that. The issue is that same media when played from SD card, plays via internal player. However it says "Video can not be played" when played via upnp. I have tried both allshare and skifta. Same issue.
I watch different stuff when at home, since it is on a NAS which has a upnp server, it makes more sense not having to transfer all that stuff.

BIG EARS!!
Bsplayer in hw(Bsplayer engine), mode works great.

I have found, at least with my media collection, that Diceplayer works better across all types of codec configurations.
I normally use BsPlayer, since it has built in samba client and therefore no need to use ex file explorer to start dice player. If BsPlayer does not cut it, then I switch to Diceplayer.
Mx video player does not currently decode all formats i hardware on the prime, so wait a little while with that.
I am finding the default video player after the ICS update to be quite capable. Haven't had to download any codecs, or anything.

Yes, I also have been impressed by the built in player but it has had problems with playing audio on many of my files.

I don't believe there are any of yet. I currently use Dice Player which has played 99% of my videos on HW. For the other 1%, MX Player seems to have the fastest SW decoder. I know Dice has a Tegra 2 plugin (tried it on my Prime to no avail). I wouldn't be surprised if we see Tegra 3 optimized decoding before long. I can't imagine it would be too difficult to do, but since Tegra 3 is so new, there just haven't been any attempts yet.

I agree. The video playback is much better but do not have sound on many MKV 720p high profile. DICE Player is the best for me so far with BS Player second.

I find that the default ICS player is bugged out. Instead of a menu for play,pause and stuff it just shows colored squares (looks like my screen is melting form the inside out) and is obviously bugged out, it doesn't play half the stuff dice player does.
mx player has been treating me the best since I can select hardware or software for the video and the audio separately, allowing me to play 1080p videos and for those that the audio isn't working I can select software decoding of audio. Also MX player is so far the only player that has been handling multiple audio tracks and multiple subtitle tracks well.
@all
OK, sorry, I stand corrected. Just tried out an .mkv on the built-in player which gave no sound at all! Ugghh...
i no this is a bit random
does any one how i can open the default layer app without going through gallery, because am having problem finding my video files through the numerous files on the gallery, thanks
Use the videos app and select the option for personal videos on the top left tab

No players are perfect, I keep four players and usually one of them will work.
I thought there wouldn't be a problem playing any video with this device. Disappointed it's such a pain in the ass.

Everything is playing, but not everything is playing well. I still get some lag and audio problems with 1080p mkvs.

.caf == Core Audio Format, is an Apple defined media container that can hold a variety of audio and/or video encoded content.
Try MX Player, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mxtech.videoplayer.ad&hl=en
or Mobo Video Player Pro, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobo.video.player.pro&hl=en
Thanks MX player did the trick. Its annoying though i have many "good" music players such as poweramp and all could not play the .caf file which is very dissapointing.

I agree. I really don't know why Apple thought we needed yet another container format when there are already so many out there, unless it was to try to play the vendor lock-in game
iPhone doesn't support playing CAF files.
To play CAF on iPhone, I use a software named Faasoft Audio Converter to convert CAF to MP3, AAC, AC3, etc.

[Q] Audio sync issues on video playback

This is my second question-post today, I apologize, but this is the final issue I've been trying to figure out.
I thought it could possibly be related to this post about BT audio lag (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2606441) but I just disconnected my jambox when this came up and the audio delay continued on the internal speaker.
I use MX Player Pro for videos, and when I resume a video (doesn't happen every time), the video lags behindthe audio anywhere from a few milliseconds to over 3 seconds. It isn't enough to pause and then resume, I have to exit to the home screen and kill the MX Player background process. Then I can reopen the app and play the video. Sometimes it takes more than one try to get it synced again. It's as if the CPU is struggling to keep up.
Has anyone experienced this?
Any audio over bluetooth will have a delay.
It's possible that if you disconnect BT mid play it will still play the audio at the same point it left off so continue the delay.
I'm betting if you play the movie without BT it's fine?
If not, try enabling/disabling hardware acceleration.
What format and quality is the file you're trying to playback?

I never really watch videos without my Jambox speaker, so I have tested it by disconnecting the bluetooth when the delay occurs, and it continues to occur once the sound routes through internal speaker. I haven't tested it by only playing through internal speaker, so I will focus on trying to recreate the problem that way.
The DTS codec from the XDA thread is the updated one which is fully functional with updated MX Player 1.7.26.
I have MX Player set up for HW+ for Video and SW for Audio. I tried HW+ for both and SW for both and it didn't change anything.
The files vary from .mkv to .mp4, etc, depending on the torrent I download. It doesn't seem to favor one file type over the other. Quality wise has been 720p, 1080p, and less, doesn't matter there either.
Like I said before, it seems like the audio is being processed great but the CPU is struggling with keeping the video up. I could reformat my phone again and do a clean install, although I fully wiped the device before installing rooted .136 this time.

Nope, still happening. I just opened a video for first time today, without bluetooth connection, and there was about a half second delay. It sure is annoying.

Then it's either mx player not handling the format very well or its the file itself. Try bs player see if same happens.

Choppy streamed video playback

Hi all,
I've been looking for this on many sites but i didn't find a solution so i hope someone here could help me because i'm reeally desperate.
I'm having a very choppy video playback on certain streamed videos. I dont think posting those sites is allowed here so ill just call them X an Y
Anyways, after googling there seem to be quite a lot of people having this issue.
Video buffers, sound plays ok but the image itself seems to be like 1fps and skip a few seconds..
Site X never works, some others always work..
Youtube works fine (maybe cuz its html5?) playstore movies are fine too.
No this is not a buffering issue because of my wifi, and no using 3g instead of wifi doesnt change anything. I've tried using different browsers and it didn't change a thing. Is it a decoding issue of certain fileformats?
Btw: running rootbox 4.2 and dorimanx kernel
