If you watch videos encoded in high quality resolutions above 854x480, H.264 or MPEG4 and a pretty high bitrate, you might notice that video playback is laggy and not fluid with custom ROMs. This flashable zip package is supposed to fix that.
Tested
Stable - Any ROM based on stock 2.3.3 (Wolfs TW Gingerbread, Blue Sparks, Ultima GB etc.)
Stable - Most xRecovery-based CM7 ROMs (ZMOD, SpaarcMOD, FreeXperia Sony UI Achotjan etc.)
Stuck on boot - MIUI ROMs
Untested
FXP CM7 (won't work anyways since it uses CWM)

EDIT: I've uploaded a test video to check whether video decoder lag is present or not.
http://puu.sh/5j8h/SmoothnessTest.mp4 (854x480, H.264, 5 mbit/s)
If it stutters during playback, that's an indication that the video is lagging.
This fix will not eliminate the problem but will reduce the lag by a huge margin.
I noticed this while watching videos with camera panning, they looked very juddery.
Anyone tried this? Just wondering what the original problem was.

So, this should enable me (us) to play 720p Youtube vids?
never notist a problem and if there whas a problem, Z would have notist and came with the solution.
I think i would not flash this before making a back up.

You already play hd youtube.
Guys, please play the video in the OP on your phone and see whether it lags or not.

The original problem was playback of high quality videos were very laggy.

Why do you feel like discouraging people who try to offer something to the community?
On the one hand, there are tons of threads in General section
whining about people moving on from the X10 and development stalling,
and then there are post like yours... It's just not right.
Anyway, @OP, I played the test video and noticed no lags.
Could you explain what is it that you changed in the .so libraries please?
And why some people have the issue and others don't?
Thank you very much!
Okay. Downloaded the files. Tested the video. It does stutter a little.
Tested with scary gov. Running video twice... 22sec at 128mhz. And none over 500mhz! So its not decoding over cpu
P.s. Yes, also did with performance. Same problem.
Now gonna make backup. And then flash file.
Noticed the lag myself. So maybe it's missing a video codec, so it's not using hardware rendering.
I'll flash the fix and see if it works.

It depends.
On modded stock ROMs, if the dev included z's audio lag fix, this problem will surface.
On custom ROMs (CM7 for example), the issue is already there.
This zip simply replaces the libs with those from stock ROM.
PS: It was one of the reasons why I didn't use Froyo custom ROMs.

So, it will give us back the audio lag while listening to music then?

You could have also said this in first Post, right?
flashed it and saw no big difference. I'm on WB4.0.4
Maybe he already included it.
P.s. Your test video is not realy high res ^^ does 1080p work on our phone? Depens on bitrate i guess.

Technically, yes. Personally, I rarely get any audio lags while listening to music except when there's CPU heavy stuff going on like installing a large app from the Market.

I see...
But I got terrible audiolag before Z's fix when listening to music, even when this was the only thing I did (no other tasks running, screen off).

It may be because I'm running a custom kernel. Barely any audio lag.
Is it possible to play the pps.tv with h.264?

Not really. We play HQ YT vids aka 480p
Try DL-ing a 720p or even a 1080p vid and play it... see what happens. Not to mention HD divx/xvid content
P.S. regarding audio lag. I still experience it while underclocking to 128MHz. It's doesn't happen while the sleep FQ is at 245, though
Hey all.
I have Quadrant Score up to 2825 @ lazy 1,4GHz - [email protected] / RieGo Kernel 0.5 without GPU OC
It runs really fast and smooth...
But my Tab is unable to play some Flash Videos (no HD... think 640x480 or less) in Fullscreen without stuttering.
On my SGSII (2.3.4 Stock) the Same Movie runs without any problems.
Honeycomb or Flash issue? Tab to slow?
Disgusting... :-(
Any Ideas to optimize the performance from the tab without changing the Rom?

Thats not tab's mistake. I m in china and they have one website called youku just like YouTube. Its big website and when i try to play video it stutters so much. But when i play videos in other websites like engadget its just flawless. So i think its problem of some websites flash or JavaScript. I guess so.
But the exact Same Video from same Website runs without Problems on my SGSII.
And its not a problem with the Connection... only with fullscreen it stutters! Without fullscreen it plays okay.

Can you share that website link? I will try that video in fullscreen and then tell u. Because i m on stock kernel so i can tryout.

You got a PM with that Link.
With HC 3.2 the problem is gone!
I run Overcome 2.1.1 with pershoots kernel on an overclocked tab (1,4 GHz). Everything is fine besides flash video playback. Quadrant score is above 3.000.
I tried the videos from www.gamestar.de or www.laola1.tv. Preroll-ads are being played flawlessly but the real video is laggy and stuttering (music/speech is fine). I tried both the stock browser and Dolphin HD.
Any ideas? Thank you very much!
it does that to me too, for examle @ gorillavid, it continously looses framerate throughout the video 'till its unwatchable, but thats just because the certain servers i'd say
Hi!
My 2 cents:
I can play flash video on the tab and on tv without lag with the original rom and kernel 3.2.
But if I install pershoot kernel or a rom without the original kernel I get some lag
It gets worse if I conect the tab to the tv with the hdmi adapater.
Has anyone experienced the same?
Everyone can watch flash videos without lag or drpped frames?
I can with the stock rom, but can't with the developed roms
Started having HD video problems with all miui based ROMS, Galnet, standard miui and wiui, videos either start playing and crash, dont play at all or just get a black screen. My recorded video from cam is also choppy. To check it wasnt my phone I loaded the latest chkrom, video played ok.
Want to stay with miui as anything I put on after miui just seems so clunky, anyone else finding this.
Mine does a similar thing although im not on a custom rom, ages ago my phone stopped playing .mkv's and now just recently it wont play certain .avi files or any .flac files at all however it still plays .mp4 fine
Im waiting for the proper ICS release to do a complete wipe and hope they work again.

you on stock rooted sammy rom then?
Ask on the Miui forums ?
Been using Galnet Miui for several months, have never had a problem playing videos of any format with either the native video player or MX. Same with test videos I've taken myself.

cant post on either forum, havent bothered to find out why to be honest as there isnt really much in there in the way of help like on there.
Can you tell me exactly what version you are on now, mine was ok on earlier versions. Everything played smoothly on stock video, mx player and dice, now nothing plays well and sometimes not at all.
Right now I'm using the newest MIUI weekly 2.2.17. The only player that seems to work with all kind of movie files is DicePlayer. All other are causing crashing and other strange issues (specially with HW mode). It should work ok for you as well tbh.
And you know this without even asking there ? Stunning piece of logic there champ
I've used 1.11.9, 2.11.26, 2.1.20 & 2.2.1 with different builds of Siyah and have never had a problem playing any video in any of the common formats on either MX or Galnet Video, nor have I had problems playing back test videos (short. I'm not about to make a 2 hr test video purely to see if it crashes a video player) I've recorded.

will give it a try, on a side note have you even been able to install the reboot options on a standard miui rom that you get with galnet?, tried a couple of times with no joy
i am using ndt miui, so far i didnt see any problem. maybe you can try to update the new one or another miui roms from others developer.
much better with DICE, mx still no longer works though and it was great before, smoother than DICE, not sure whats happend.
I installed cm10 rom on my tab 10.1 its great and smooth but when I come to playing videos it is very bad, the youtube video lag too much on the app and the browser ... and the downloaded videos from youtube (720p) lag also on the video player ... I did a quaderant benchmark and I noticed somthing, the 2D result is too too low its about 55 and the bar is almost invisible ... so if anyone have the same problem or know the way to fix it please advise me .... THANK YOU
Oh my god !!! .... xda developeers where are you ??? Please help.
that's how the p7500 handles CM10 ICS or JB.
I'd advise to stick to stock ICS for smooth video, that's the only solution I found

Clock higher?
Stock ICS is worse with YouTube according to many people.

I was on CM10, it crashed and died, had to flash Stock 4.0.4 and, as far as I remember, I could watch YT HD videos quite comfortably, with minor hiccups when some intensive scenes like water ripples, sea were rendered. I then flashed tryptosylls 4.1.2 AOKP and video lags a hell lot now!
Thanks .. I think I have to flash the stock rom .... i've alrady overclocked but the same problem stills.
Can someone link me to a good rom for the galaxy tab 10.1 ??
Look in the development section. You can do it!
I'm asking cause i need rom without this problem ..... I won't try every rom in the section !!!
I see the same issue in my phone as well. But this happens because of poor hardware acceleration support. U can fix this by adding a line to build.prop file. What u need to do is change or add video.acceleration.hw = 0. 0 means disable and 1 means enable. After changing this, I did not face issues while palying videos on youtube.
Anyway, very hq videos plays good with hw accelation. But still u can try ur luck.
Hit thanks if I help u.
