Ive been searching this forum for three days, and a couple nights, but it just isn't coming together for me...
So here's the issue I'm having: most of my favorite movies are over 1g, no big deal storage wise, but I'm getting some lag issues in moboplayer. qqplayer and the other recommended players don't seem to recognize my .nomedia file on sdcard2. I'm using handbrake to convert. Have tried mp4 and h.264 and the latter seems to work the best for me on ipad and normal presets. Switched from vegan Ginger to vegan 5.1.1 with pershoots kernel, still got no love from anything other than mobo and anything over 800mb gets choppy with soft or hard decoding (soft seems to be working best btw). I did the fps tweak and am scoring around 71 in fps2d. Don't know that it would matter for movies but it couldn't hurt to try. I think that about covers it. Saw some suggestions for changing settings in handbrake but after reading them and comparing to my handebrake ui, it just didn't make sense to me. Currently running vegan 5.1.1, pershoots kernel and fps tweak. I've read where people have said they were running movies flawlessly, to what am I missing here (bet its something easy)? Help a guy out please.
Also, please don't take this wrong, but a "simply search and you will find..." response isn't necessary. Believe me when I tell you I been wearing search function out....
Gracias in advance.

Handbrake settings that work for me (no lag, no skips, no studder):
video: mpeg4
audio: AAC 160kbps
container: m4v
resolution: whatever X 1024 (to keep aspect ratio correct) if coming from greater than 1024 vertical lines, otherwise leave resolution alone and let player do the up-scaling.
Tune the file size to what whatever quality you think looks acceptable.
This is why I recommend one of the TnT based roms (for example calkulin's rom) instead of vegan for most people. With vegan, you really have to do a little tweakings of your own to get things to run smoothly.
I was using vegan before and started noticing I was spending more time than I wanted to tweaking things. Nowadays, I'm using calkulin's very fast rom. No tweakings needed.
Thanks for the quick replies. Will check out the settings again, if I still don't get it then ill check out tnt or caulkins rom
So thanks for the above responses. Jacked with the settings for an hour or 2 and couldn't get a decent copy so I switched over to caulkulins rom and the video is finally working out. Only issue I'm having is the volume is ridiculously low. Can hear okay at home with a pair of bose headphones, so its doable for now, but def wouldn't work on any type of travel with background noise, I.e. airplane... will search for a fix but any suggestion would be appreciated.

Volume too low? Weird. My volume is actually too loud with calkulin+clemsyn combo rom.

I've read that elsewhere as well, but mine went in the completely opposite direction. I dunno. Still looking for a solution
Turn up volume?

Wish it was that easy. It only seems to be happening when playing movies. Web browsing/flash volume is fine. Makes me wonder if its something with the encoding...still searching...
So turns out its something with moboplayer. I dled rockplayer light and the volume was fine but I really didn't want to pay 10 dollars for a media play so I checked out soul player and everything is working nicely so far. Unfortantely, the ui isnt as nice on soul as it is on mobo/rockplayer, but my video is great and my volume is decent. Only thing is I have to set the volume prior to entering the player. And if I mess with the volume while in the player then it immediately returns to barely audible. Oh well, at least its working...
Use RockPlayer. I'm on vegan 5.1.1 and regularly watch videos that are around 3gigs and never have the slightest stutter in frame rate, or audio

I'm on VEGAn 5.1.1 and my volume is to low too. I tried to watch a movie on the plane and gave up on it, and I had headphones. I think it's my tab. I can't explain it otherwise. It was low from day one.
Hi, I'm trying to connect my phone with the HDMI cable i've got in box with my full hd tv.
Everything seems to work great - except it seems that my phone slows down noticably - in games, ui responsiveness, everything - i take it may be because outputs 1080p signal to the tv and tries to upscale it?
Did anyone notice that ui responsiveness is not that smooth when the phone is connected to their tv? I was thinking there might be a way to output 720p signal to the tv instead ?
Anyone else experienced this?
It connects at 720p by default.
Ive had it connected to my Monitor at 1080 and 720 and the phone still runs great at either resolution
Can you configure how it connects ? my tv reports 1080 resolution when i plug it in.
And i have like 1/3rd of performance - especially if i try to run any game like cut the rope.
yaeh , just tested again, connects as 1080p and when its connected even scrolling of options or bringing up top dropdown bar is not fluid anymore.
What verson of firmware do you use ? Mine is 6.0.A.3.62.
Ive tried to change the "output quality" setting, but it doesnt seem to do anything in my case. I can only set scaling of phone screen on tb 80%-100% regulation.
Ok, so i've found a "scientific" measurable way to test.
In quadrant (free test in market) i get following results:
Without tv plugged in: ~3100, flyby in room with stairs 30-50 fps
With TV plugged in: ~2700, flyby in room with stairs 20-25 fps so only 50% of what i get normally and it has visible frame skip
Can someone check that on your phone and post your results?
I will give it a try as well when I am done with battery test.

Mine was:
Without tv plugged in: 32-42fps score: 3183
With tv plugged in: 23-26fps score: 2876
Hmmm...
ok so we do have a problem then, since your results confirm mine ....
Now i only hope this is some kind of firmware/driver issue,
Games are completly unplayable (at least for me) when phone is plugged to tv, even simple ones like Canabalt from humblebundle ....
Would be good if someone with firmware different than .62 could post their results.
Quick test with Angry Birds:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=auksuKwrGsE
Still on .67
Yup, I can easly see 0.5s delayed response to your finger on the movie.
Ok, any ideas what now? I'm trying to contact Sony support but so far no luck.
This is completly unacceptable for such expensive phone.
So this 0.5sec delay is what's bothering you?
Bothering? this renders this phone useless for any other gaming except things like angry birds where you dont have to react on time - besides some other games like canabalt (where you have constantly scrolling fast screen) lag and drop frames like crazy - totaly unusable. Even "cut the rope" where you need to be precise is non-playable.

Check out this video on Xperia Arc S - in the end they run Angry Birds Rio and there is no problem like this present.
I also think that running "ubuntu for android" and using is would be a very bad experience with this kind of issues
So yeah... im pretty bothered overall with delay and 50% framedrop.
Got response from sony support that they got notified about an issue and there will be be a firmware update in next 10 days that i hope might correct the issue.

In my case ! Since i also see this problem, I solve the problem buy not using "TV launcher" I use task manger and i kill this app and i can say that fair improve
but every phone have diffrent app installed other app my influence that as well
I got only 4 screen of apps so not alot!!!
So dont blame me if does not help
BTW
i got hdmi control setting unticked as well

I have to admit, that's a good point. I haven't looked at this from this point of view. Now we have to wait for fix, or maybe there is a way to make it work properly.
Yeah, its interesting to me, that the video of Xperia Arc S i've posted above seems to indicate that the phone doesnt have any issues when connected to tv. So im hoping its something easly fixable with software.
I have uploaded new, longer version now, icluding Angry Birds, Quadrant and video playback:
Sony Xperia S - HDMI TV-out delay - Angry Birds + Quadrant + Playback
Found another one as well:

Awesome work, now it would be great if we could get attention of someone who made custom roms for Xperias - Maybe they would have a better idea whats going on. On posted videos the problem is more visible.
Im not sure if its really "input lag", i would rather blame some kind of rendering problem - input lag is probably a side effect of this.
I don't have mine yet but could it be because the phone's having to render to 2 screens (one at 720 and one at 720/1080)?. Doing this on a pc increases the load on the system even if the screens are cloned - it would be the same on the phones/tablets as well.
From the little testing I did with my Archos 70 before giving up on trying to get it doing HDMI out reliably (wonky £1 adapter at fault maybe) I found that turns the internal screen off and just uses the touch area as a trackpad so as to give maximum performance to the output.
Now the specs of the Archos 70's are a bit poor at best but it does what I want it for - playing music and video while having a nice big 250gb drive. The specs on the latest round of phones should certainly have the power to run 2 screens without issue. However, any resource intensive work (games for example) would degrade performance in such situations.
Are there any similar problems when playing back video?
Maybe try some less intensive games like Robotek or Frozen Bubble?
I would rather say, there is a delay only. When watching above videos, what comes to your mind first? Delay or lag? I would say there is a delay, because picture is rather smooth. So in that case, it would be a matter of changing some settings, rather than phone can't perform running two screens. Arc s can do it, so Xperia S should be even better.
Not having used either handset and with what you've said, I'd say it's more than likely to be a software issue somewhere. Going by Sony's recent behaviour with updates and support little problems like this should be resolved sooner rather than later.
This is what is drawing me to the Xperia for my next handset as HTC seem to just abandon things once something new is out.
Once I get mine I'll hopefully be able to help out a bit more with stock rom problems.
Has anyone else experienced the V10 freezing on a single frame while watching YouTube videos? That's the first thing I noticed when I got my phone and thought it was just the video I was watching but now after a week watching a YouTube video is hit or miss for me. Has anyone else experienced this? I'm on AT&T version.
That same thing happens to me, I have to change it to 1080P and rewind a few seconds so it'll play smoothly.
I saw the issue brought up in another thread this morning and decided to test it out as I've mainly been watching in 1080p. Tried a couple movie trailers and random videos and these are my results. If it was 1440p but wasn't taking up the whole screen (black bars) then it never froze. Same resolution but full screen it froze 70 percent of the time. It would usually stutter a couple seconds before freezing completely but once stuck the only way to unfreeze would be to rewind or fast forward a bit..but then a few seconds later it would freeze again. I did notice something else too. Anything titled 4k, but was being played at 1440p obviously, froze 100 percent of the time. The only time it never froze like I said was when it was 1440 with black bars. Specifically a scene from the movie troy.
Side note...troy is a badass movie if you haven't seen it.
Hopefully an update pushed by YouTube or carrier adresses this issue. Its not extremely important to me as it's always bothersome to constantly have to change YouTube's resolution to 1440p but for the simple sake of unintended problems being fixed, I hope it's soon.
Yup you're spot on I was checking out Max Lee and MKBHD videos and wondered why they froze. 1440p is what freezes the playback ugh.
youtube lag
i hope you guys could help. but i have noticed that my youtube app has been lagging. when watching a video and trying to minimize the one im watching. the animation is really laggy, same goes with my playstore. i consider it a lag because i have an outdated lg g3 dual lte with regards to its software but an updated youtube and llaystore, and everything on the g3 is real smooth and fine i hope you guys can help it really bugs me.
Same here. (Heres my comment from another forum) I noticed my T mobile Lg V10 playing videos really choppy when I tested it alongside my brother's Lg G3, and said videos would freeze up totally with about 75% of the ones I'd test set at 1440p resolution. The vids that played were stuttering noticeably. The G3 handled all 8 to 10 videos I tested at 1440p with absolutely no problems , with a smoother frame rate as well. After much research I decided it's gotta be a very odd GPU issue /bug and I should attempt to return/exchange it before my 2 week return window passed. When I went in store to comeplete the process I decided to test the display model Lg V10, which was right next to the G4. So I tested them both simultaneously, and it too had the same video freezing issue at 1440p and played videos lackluster in comparison to the G4 which was 1 foot away and performing beautifully! Afterwards I explained and demonstrated the issue to the very condescending employee and store manager/supervisor, which they oddly passed off as a data signal issue or bug with the youtube app ,along with a couple other nonsensical excuses my brain couldn't even process at the time. Long story short, after nearly getting into a heated verbal dispute they refused to waive the $50 restocking fee for a replacement (I was planning on playing it safe and just get the G4) they said the phone ,"operates fine" and that their own G4,s and Galaxy Note's do the same thing sometimes. Mhm...right. I refused to pay 50 extra bucks to switch devices due to an obvious GPU defect that effects a noticeable percentage of V10 owners (just search forums like this and it's obvious). I decided to take the temporary loss and stick with this phone until the earliest moment I can use my jump on demand and get my 1st choice the G4.

So u think it's hardware related and cannot be fixed by a simple update? The thought hadn't even crossed my mind to return it as I imagine a software update of some sort would fix it.

That's a possibility but there's no guarantee. That's why people who experience these annoying video playback issues should explain it to LG and their carrier asap ,as I have. This phone has the specs and screen to play 1440p with no problems, so perhaps a software update would fix the issue. Hopefully

thank you so much and for clearing that out. It really bothers me, to think that the LG V10 has 4GB of RAM and has one of the latest, if not the latest gpu but experiences these types of issue. Even the simplest animations on The latest Play Store when going from one tab to another ,the animation stutters a lot. And im pretty sure you guys can notice to that when you minimize the window while youre watching on youtube the animation stuttees to and the back ground kind of blinks while pulling the window down. I have noticed all of these issues because when comapring it to the G3, the V10 really is not behaving well. And another issue i have noticed is when i downloaded the game GT Racing 2, graphics cant be raised to the optimal and but with the G3 the game enables the graphics you would expect from these kinds of GPU. in short the graphics it offers to me even at maximum is what you would see om mediatek processors. And i do believe these goes with all the V10 and not an isolated case and that SUCKS!
I don't normally watch YouTube in 4k as to me it is a waste bandwidth on a 5.7 inch screen... but I digress...
I just went and watched the Batman vs. Superman trailer in 4k and, other than having to switch to WiFi because T-Mo where I am couldn't keep up, it played smoothly through for the 2+ minutes with no hitching or freezing... do you have a link to what video you played that caused the issue?
As far as gaming goes... the G3's SD801 has the Adreno 330 vs the V10 with the Adreno 418 in the SD808... not the 430 in the 810. They are not the same class of GPU and even though they have the same 128 ALU count, there are other features that still allow the 330 to beat the 418 in numerous benchmarks.
The V10 is marketed as a premium build quality photo/video/media device, not a hard core gaming flagship.
I see no issues in the Play Store either... which animations are you speaking of? I see slight hitching when you out run the cached content when vertical scrolling fast, and it has to grab more, but nothing heavy. Everything slides in smoothly the from the bottom when I swipe from paid to free etc...

You're most welcome! I do notice stuttering after a few weeks owning it when moving from task to task a little more often than I expected with such a new phone. The YouTube video playing though is just not impressive so far. My G2 played 1080p more smooth and my brother's G3 handles up to 1440p beautifully. I compiled a short list of about 8 or 9 videos that display the issue, I thought it may have been an issue with videos with "4k" in the title but it also happens with several other vids. Didn't realize I'm not allowed to link them here yet but out of maybe 15 videos I tested ,at least 8 froze up seconds into playing while the audio continues . All in all it flat out should NOT be playing vids less impressively than 1 or 2 yr old phones hopefully they get enough emails that'll prompt them to rectify this issue.

Yup. Add that one to the list that freezes for me too. I'm starting to get really annoyed.
Mine freezes too on that video, but I just find it hard to care. Not saying no one should care, but it's not a dead/life thing.
I was testing my sd card that arrived today and noticed my read speed was severely lower than the advertised 90mb/s. I'm talking less than 20. Then it dawned on me that I had chosen to encrypt the card upon insertion so I removed the encryption which caused the speed to go up to 85.
My question is, could encryption be causing the performance hit? Are any of you experiencing the freezing encrypted as well?
Not sure how it could...just a thought.

My Verizon V10 also froze, not at exactly 1 min, but about 40 seconds or so later. So next I watched another 1440p from the same poster, similar issues. Then I watched another 1440p from another source.....no issues. Since the video in question was posted 2 years ago it had plenty of comments, so I took a quick look, and noted that at least one person had similar issues viewing the videos on a laptop with a AMD processor.
I also noticed that on my laptop the video quality 2160p can be selected, not just 1440p which is all the youtube app on the V10 is allowing. Maybe there is a encoding difference or the youtube app that causes issues? What got me thinking it could be app related is looking for a faster browser than Chrome. Dolphin is so much faster..... Instead of youtube app content, maybe try some of the video samples from somewhere that streams 4k using/thru HTML5? I tried a couple of sites with no problem, looked like 4k, but the players didn't give me stats on the actual playback quality.

thanks again and i really hope they do something about it. i just cant accept the fact that its the latest flagship of LG, and it fails to impress a lot of the owners and when comparing it as you have said it , to a 2 year old phone , it kind of is inferior to it in some aspects. considering youtube is not that complicated. And ive also noticed that the youtube app crashes frequently. i dont know if it happens to you but it happens to me. and to some other apps too, with me just scrolling down the page. ???
My v10 (att) has no issues with animations, but consistently freezes on 1440p. However, using Google Chrome and the HTML5 player, 1440p runs just fine. Odd.
Nope. I take it back. It can do 60fps in Chrome, which it can't do in the YouTube app. Video flat out crashes trying to do 1440p in Chrome.

Something is seriously wrong here. I went to go record chrome crashing at 1440p. Which it did, then I opened YouTube and tried to do it there. Oddly enough, with my recording software running, it didn't crash. As soon as I finished recording I tried again and sure enough it crashed right at 1 minute. I say it's a software bug. Lets just wait till marshmallow. I used "Rec." to record. Will upload later

Well my v10 stutters on 1080 where my wife's does just fine. But as far as gaming my phone blazes just as my note 4 did no issues at all. Just with the youtube app it freezes. But watching them through the browser no issue only happens with youtube app for my phone

It is only on youtube I can watch 2k videos from sd and 1080 on other video apps

There have been updated pushed to AT&T from what I have heard that fixed the fingerprint, youtube as well as a few other issues.
The last few weeks plex has been almost unuseable if im launching it from the nexus player. It seems to do much better opening it on my pc and "casting" to the nexus. But if I open the app on the nexus it freezes about 10 seconds into a movie.
I have a hardwired nexus player, bandwidth isn't the issue. Been using my nexus for a year without issue until this.
Has anyone else been having issues with it?

Is it stuttering or just freezing up completely? Usually its a band with issue as the NP I have has zero issues since being hardwired.
It was freezing. Changed some settings and it's resolved it seems.
Still having the audio drop out bug that is also posted about on the plex forum

My suggestion was going to be mess with settings. Direct play and stream can have that affect. The audio drop out bug is that where about every 20 seconds or so there is a second of silence? If so I've noticed that as well since the last update. I was watching a 20gb mkv of Excalibur (1981) and every 20 seconds it would show a multicolor screen like a test screen. I rebooted the router as well as the Nvidia Shield android tv (my other box) and it got less but every ten minutes or so it would do it again.

If so I've noticed that as well since the last update. I was watching a 20gb mkv of Excalibur (1981) and every 20 seconds it would show a multicolor screen like a test screen. I rebooted the router as well as the Nvidia Shield android tv (my other box) and it got less but every ten minutes or so it would do it again.

Correct on the dropout. Oddly enough though, if instead of using the plex app on the nexus I use plex on my phone to initiate a "cast" from my pc to the nexus there is no audio dropout. It only happens if i use the plex app on the nexus.

Most problems are usually the app. For some reason casting is less buggy, although not as convenient and being wireless can tend to stutter if the quality is set too high, not to mention having to constantly restart the app on the tablet, etc. Maybe because when casting the source PC's resources are in play while using a "box" with limited RAM that can be taxed more easily? I don't know. I do know that the Nexus player as well as my Nvidia Shield ATV work great directly connected to the network (Fios 90/90) with no stuttering at all. I swear I use the Nvidia more than I watch cable, etc. It really is a revolutionary device as far as entertainment goes, with a Plex server as well as all that Kodi has to offer.

Agree that plex+kodi suits nearly all of our needs. We have 2 hardwired nexuses (nexii?) And are very happy with them.
Once the Nvidia drops look into that. It's a beast. No clicky remote, super fast, sd card slot, stream games from the PC, etc. There dropping in price quick too, although not as fast as the Nexus player did.
I just got the mate 10 and it seems that whatever I watch on netflix looks pixelated in this phone. I've used my netflix on desktop and other smartphones and it never looked this bad. I already tried changing the phone's display quality from qhd to fhd to hd and it just seems to get worse.
Btw my internet connection is fast and my playback settings is set on high.
