[FIX] Video playback and slow dl speeds on new radio - Nexus One Android Development

The new radio does break the video playback,
however I have found that if you add these entries:
ro.media.enc.file.format = 3gp,mp4
ro.media.enc.vid.codec = m4v,h263
ro.media.enc.vid.h263.width = 176,352
ro.media.enc.vid.h263.height = 144,288
ro.media.enc.vid.h263.bps = 64000,800000
ro.media.enc.vid.h263.fps = 1,30
ro.media.enc.vid.m4v.width = 176,352
ro.media.enc.vid.m4v.height = 144,288
ro.media.enc.vid.m4v.bps = 64000,800000
ro.media.enc.vid.m4v.fps = 1,30
into the build.prop file within the /system/ folder this allows all video playback to work properly again. This means that you can keep your new radio
oh yeah and also add
ro.ril.hsxpa=2 (1 if in US)
ro.ril.gprsclass=12 (11 if in US)
and this will increase your dl and ul speed
all you need is notepad++ to edit the build.prop and then use
adb remount
adb push (c:/location build.prop /system/
adb shell reboot
I have attached my own build.prop
Credit to Cyanogen, I researched his build.prop cheers dude
good luck

Thank you so much!
Good work, man.

---

Thanks man ! this is awesome.

think you need to edit the title, you need to be clear that this is for the people who flashed froyo and reverted back to a different rom. Thus leaving them with a NEW radio.

---

thanks. edited my own build.prop and giving it a try!

Why do you suggest using 1 and 11 if in the US? I've been using 2 and 12 and never noticed a big difference between the two.

Maybe it works with Froyo as well? Also can someone clarify, though I think I know the answer, I flashed Pershoots kernel with Froyo - this is totally different from that, correct?

---

alternative approach
I went into /system/etc/media_profiles.xml
and edited it.
Below are the values that work best from my testing:
(do with this what you will, I'm rarely around for questions)
- <MediaSettings>
- <!-- Each camcorder profile defines a set of predefined configuration parameters
-->
- <CamcorderProfiles>
- <EncoderProfile quality="high" fileFormat="mp4" duration="60">
<Video codec="h264" bitRate="3000000" width="720" height="480" frameRate="30" />
<Audio codec="amrnb" bitRate="12200" sampleRate="8000" channels="1" />
</EncoderProfile>
- <EncoderProfile quality="low" fileFormat="3gp" duration="30">
<Video codec="m4v" bitRate="256000" width="176" height="144" frameRate="15" />
<Audio codec="amrnb" bitRate="12200" sampleRate="8000" channels="1" />
</EncoderProfile>
<ImageEncoding quality="100" />
<ImageEncoding quality="90" />
<ImageEncoding quality="80" />
<ImageDecoding memCap="60000000" />
<Camera previewFrameRate="1" />
</CamcorderProfiles>
<EncoderOutputFileFormat name="3gp" />
<EncoderOutputFileFormat name="mp4" />
- <!--
If a codec is not enabled, it is invisible to the applications
In other words, the applications won't be able to use the codec
or query the capabilities of the codec at all if it is disabled
-->
<VideoEncoderCap name="h264" enabled="true" minBitRate="2000000" maxBitRate="3000000" minFrameWidth="800" maxFrameWidth="1280" minFrameHeight="480" maxFrameHeight="720" minFrameRate="24" maxFrameRate="30" />
<VideoEncoderCap name="h263" enabled="true" minBitRate="64000" maxBitRate="1000000" minFrameWidth="176" maxFrameWidth="800" minFrameHeight="144" maxFrameHeight="480" minFrameRate="15" maxFrameRate="24" />
<VideoEncoderCap name="m4v" enabled="true" minBitRate="1000000" maxBitRate="2000000" minFrameWidth="176" maxFrameWidth="800" minFrameHeight="144" maxFrameHeight="480" minFrameRate="15" maxFrameRate="24" />
<AudioEncoderCap name="amrnb" enabled="true" minBitRate="12200" maxBitRate="12200" minSampleRate="8000" maxSampleRate="8000" minChannels="1" maxChannels="1" />

I would also like to add this, however, for the build.prop edits, in US, I got the idea from Paul's Desire build.prop, and after research on what it all meant and testing, I found the right categories (values) for me to be as follows:
(of course I'm in Madison, AL and we have awesome HSUDPA here so in other places you may need apply other values)(google gprs class; then google hsdpa category; then google hsupa category; then hsxpa category to see which category fits your signal best)
# bravo RF team request
ro.ril.enable.dtm = 1
ro.ril.gprsclass = 32
ro.ril.hsdpa.category = 8
ro.ril.hsupa.category = 6
ro.ril.hsxpa = 2
To Each His Own...I post every now and then with minor edits that work for me to give a little back..not saying anyoneelse is wrong so if you're that guy who's about to jump me, slow your role, Ya Douche... Here's your Sign.

---

oh yeah and also add
ro.ril.hsxpa=2 (1 if in US)
ro.ril.gprsclass=12 (11 if in US)
Shouldn't gprsclass=10 in US? Anyways, I added this stuff and flash video for example on network TV sites such as FOX playback beautifully. Just watched Fringe and the quality was close to FLO TV. PS....I completely updated my A22 setup using Pauls update-nexusone-FRF50-signed.zip file on my N1. So I assume that this is a good edit whether or not you stay with original ROM or reverted to original and kept the radio update.

---

So is this for Froyo or for those reverting back from Froyo to new Rom and not wanting to flash back their old radio?

---

Wow, tons of confusion going on with these roms and all the "fixes".

yeah. and none of the suggestions in the thread worked for me.

This did not fix video playback or download speeds for me under Froyo with new radio.
My download speeds have dropped to 50KB/sec since updating, i used to get up to 400KB/sec
And video playback i can hear audio, but screen is blank, then it FC but even after killing it can still hear audio playing, only way to stop it is to reboot

these properties seem not for a Nexus One, or am i incorrect?
values should be 800x480 instead of 352x288
anyway, i tried all this, and it didn't have any effect. video playback still doesn't work with the new radio

Your sig shows the older 33.4 kernel from Raven. He has specific Froyo kernels that at least for me...work regarding watching flash stuff. Just watched NCIS on cbs.com and the video was as clear as FloTV was for me, on an LG Vue phone I used to have.

---

Can we get clarification as to what this is for?
I'm on Froyo right now after coming from Cyan, and personally after looking at many of my Speedtest app download and upload speeds, They seem to be a little lower. But not by a lot. but I'm having issues with speed.
Movies by Flickster is a great app for watching movie trailers and finding local theater's. It plays high quality preview trailers of movies and when I was on Cyan they would take a few seconds to load. And play very well and clear. Now they stutter and have to stop and load, then stop and load again.. Like it's not as stable of a connection. Same thing goes for downloading things in the market (but it could just be overloaded with froyo updaters getting all there apps) Also browsing seems a little slower also like pages loading.

Ok the deal with Froyo and the Radio is This:
The Froyo Radio handles Video encoding. There are dependencies in the Kernel. If you are using a custom kernel not designed for Froyo or you are using a radio other than the one that comes with Froyo, things are going to break. Especially video stuff.
IntersectRavens Kernel works for Video because he built it to, but a few other minor things don't work, like google goggles and there are problems with usb mounting and unmounting.
Anyway if you use stock radio and kernel everything in froyo works. Part of why there is so much confusion is that we have a test rom and no source code. So a lot of "Custom" stuff won't work because it is using Eclair code.
Got it?

I am using Paul's Froyo (which I assume has stock kernal and radio, does it not?) and have the exact same issues as xguntherc above.
YouTube is now practically useless unless i have wifi.

MP4 do not play for me with Froyo no matter what configuration I use

The fix here does nothing but deteriorate the video encoding but switching it to h263. New radio has the firmware for h264 and h263 both. Froyo has both h263 and h264 and is doing h264 currently. With this it goes back to h263
