Hi mini users
I have xperia mini for few days and i wonder about poor flash playback. Xperia mini with latest firmware and flash 10.3, tested stock browser, dolphin browser and opera browser. When i try to play youtube content it can't handle even 480p in fullscreen mode? Sound is ok but movie is 2-5 fps (1 fps in 720p mode) WHY?
Older xperia x10i updated to android 2.3 can play even 720p movies smoothly! Xperia mini has lower resolution and faster processor so should be better.
Quadrant for mini is ~1700, for x10i is ~1200.

It might be a strange question, but why would you want to play youtube videos in browser with flash (which sucks balls anyway, but that's another story) when there's a perfectly good and capable youtube app on the phone already?
When i browse www pages there are many movies on them, not only on youtube, just want to see it in browser. If pages has many flash anims mini's pefrorm worse then x10i. But main reason of my question was why it can't handle play when it is faster then x10i?

Ok for last couple of days i've been trying to play movies on my x10. I've tried many players from the market and so far the results are:
Stock Player: Couldn't start/play any of the file.
Arc Media: Sorry, this video cannot be played.
Soul Movie: This video cannot be played! Please contact to the phone maker!
mVideoPlay: Sorry, this video cannot be played.
QQPlayer: Starts but wouldn't play anything (Force close when trying to go back)
MX Video Player: Starts well, loads subtitles and goes on for 5-10 mins with a little lag (which is fine for me) then starts to lag like hell and then video goes out of sync.
The video I'm trying to play is a BRrip, resolution is 1280x528 and is in mp4 format. (HD music video's I've downloaded from youtube seems to work fine with any player which is in same resolution) Some other movies in .avi format and lower resolution would play in some of that player but lags like hell.
NOTE: I've tried to set different settings of different player such as hardcoding and softcoding but they didn't work.
Any suggestion guys??
So only that BRrip doesn't play? You say youtube vids are ok...
Try Vplayer Pro, it works smoothly in my phone, so far i havent meet lags when playing any vids.

Ough..BRip in MP4..you mean in MP4 extention, isn't it..
Try to convert it to 720p resolution and change the Video Codec to Mpeg4 H264..
Can't play coz the resolution is not support by the player/phone..I guess..

No need of any conversion buddy, install mobo player from Market. Its free app. It actually plays anything u throw at it. Using it for over five months now. Plays even youtube .flv HD files flawlessly (Make sure the resolution is 720 or less). All the best...
Convert it to the same res as the x10, rather than letting the x10 do it on the fly. Your bound to get better results.
Try Mobo player. Plays any format and supports subtitles in .srt format. It would be nice to have option to change audio tracks in dual-audio files but at least works flawlessly.

Ok guys I tried mobo player it works, I mean it plays the file but it lags and gradually goes out of sync. This time the file was even in lower resolution. But convert seems to work fine. Now im gonna try different movies in different resolution and check which works and which not. Then I'll let u guys know. But in the mean time can u guys suggest me some good converter for x10? And the settings for those converter. I use Avs converter but its slow as hell.
Oh and guys I'm on cm7, just so u know.

MP4 is a simple format and can be easily played on our x10 on 720p(1280x576,1280x720)
MKV is used in Blu-rays now a days...
It can have many audios like a movie in 2 languages...
I play it in my x10 dual audio 720p...
The main thing is use doomkernel and overclock to 1228Mhz in interactive mode use MX video player.
Sorry if it sounds noobish but how do I use doomkernel and overclock in enteractive MODE?

I've found doomkernel to flash but can u link me to overclock?

I'll never understand why people want to watch 720p on a non-hd device. It's only eating up your resources.
Whether or not you can play videos depends on bitrate mostly but there are other reasons vids won't play. Just because 1 720p movie works doesn't mean they all will.

Hi
First I want to thank everyone here for this useful forum,
I want to play HD videos in really full screen mode (without black margins in the top and bottom).
I tried alot of video players and they can crop the video to fit the screen but in S/W mode and the videos are so creepy and too slow.
when I change the aspect ratio in H/W mode I can only starch the video but I cant crop the video to fit the screen (without change the aspect ratio) like in S/W mode.
The new version of MX video player has the option called "correct H/W aspect ratio" but it's not work in my phone.
Can anyone find the solution for this,
I have rooted xperia mini.
Thanks in advance...
Sorry for my bad English...
HD or FullHD?
My Live with Walkman is able to play videos, but can't remember which format these were. Oh and I used MX Video Player also.
Will post more info when I try/find.
MX video player
Mx video player pro is the best you can even pinch to zoom ina video, I think there's a free version

Thank you for your fast replay..
I mean HD (720p) in MP4 format
I know that xperia phones can play this format but when I play HD in 320x480 screen there is a big difference in aspect ratio so the video is too small and pixels appears in the video.
So I want to cut the video to play in whole screen and use all screen surface to make the videos looks a lot better.
I can do it with MX video player in S/W mode only not in H/W but the video looks too slow and without Bravia Engine enhancement.

Same as mx video player
It can't keep video in the same aspect ratio using H/W mode
And S/W is too slow and worse quality than H/W mode and without Bravia feature
Tested yesterday my LWW, mx video player.
1080p movie was a bit laggy, sound and video did not match always.
720p movie ran completely without problems in S/W fast mode. I didn't have problems with aspect ratio, I was watching in a dark room.

yup. i have tested 3 bluray/1080p videos and it lags on any video player out there in the market. including mobo player.
It's the phone, that cannot play 1080p video.
RAM amount is too low, 512MB RAM, which only about 100-150 MB is free, depending on ROM and settings.
Maybe you have a slow sdcard.What class is it?

1080p but in which format?I observed that xvid plays very smooth.H.264 on the other hand it's kinda heavy.Maybe 1080p xvid can play without lags haven't test it though.

Actually first question was for Ahmed Abbass, i messed up the quotes
H.264 it's pretty heavy maybe xvid can do better with 1080p.
seriously why would you want to waych hd/bluray/1080p videos on a 3.2 inch screen.
why not view it on a pc/laptop/hdtv/ps3 instead?

S/W fast mode is worse than H/W in terms of quality and smoothness
It's even worse than normal S/W mode
Try to use H/W and watch the deference
Anyone can fix aspect ratio in H/W mode???
(I'm talking about normal 720p video not 1080p)
Guys we all know our phone is well capable of playing 720p videos and MX player can play only audio in 1080p videos... but is it possible to play
1080p video on our device?????
What's the point,really? We don't have enough resolution and the clips take awful lot memory from sd card in real 1080p. Just convert the clips to smaller res and be happy with your Ray

I used Mxplayer too, but only play films p720 with bitrate < 2000 kbps. So surprise your ray can play p1080
All ray can play full hd!!!
Maybe you should overclock or have a different Rom!!!
But only with mp4 container...
Quite difficult with others!!!

All videos? Try different sites. Some flash videos use different codecs and won't be as friendly to a slow CPU. It's lucky that any flash works on our phone
thanks for you but do you think there is the solution to that problem
Yes. Get a more powerful Phone.or tell what sites cause you problems.
Ya me to suffering from this problem! !

Try Dolphin Browser HD, I have never used flash player before nor i will now when it's availble for our O1...
Why, u ask?
Becouse Dolphin Browser HD has flash player inside and i plays youtube and similar flash videos like from your phone video player...
I found the "Flash Player Plugin is now availble for LG P500" and i installed right away...The thing was the videos were playing like IN-PC-BROWSER and our LOW 600MHz Processor is not the 2000+ like on pc...In short-> The video plays within the browser, fps -10(lol) laggs as hell...your even lucky if your player buttons work...
So I Unistalled it and never looked back,,
Try Doplhin Browser HD, not Mini since i have never tried it, and see if i helped you or not...
or you can try puffin browser it works but sometimes it doesn't want to start the video tried this browser on icysnap by neko and works with a litlle lag
Anyone else find the Xperia U is total junk for playing HD? Using MX Player or is there a better app that works?
My 18 month old HP Touchpad just shrugs off 1080P videos no problem, my Xperia U can't even manage 720P without been a stuttery mess, surely it should be able to handle them no problem?
720p runs superfine for me
1080p doesn't even starts
Mali400mp4 can play 1080p wid ease bt not mp1
Odp: Xperia U, HD Videos fail?
720p in .mp4 always smooth, 720p .mkv with medium bitrate (for example 1,5h movie in 1Gb file) smooth, 720p .mkv with high bitrate (1 hour show at 1,5 Gb file) a little bit laggy.
