You know where to go. RW!
video accel is working, but no netflix... yet
EDIT: rw = rootzwiki
That's good news right there! I will be downloading it in the next few mins. Looks like video acceleration works now, but still no Netflix. Oh well. Still worth it.

I am still waiting the microphone hardware working on ICS !
Can confirm that after installing CM9A1 that HD videos on Youtube play great! Tested with BigBuckBunny 1080p and it works as it should!
It seems that Alpha 1 had the same problem as CM7 when using c2d - videos get scaled using nearest neighbor instead of Bicubic, Bilinear or whichever method Android normally uses.
This can be fixed by changing this line in the build.prop:
debug.composition.type=c2d > debug.composition.type=gpu
Yeah! DicePlayer works! 720p mkv Dexter through wi-fi SMB is playing nice. A bit pixelated though.

Thank you! It's really nicer now. Still looks not-so-HD, but maybe the player is specially adjusting quality for low bandwith.

Is the downloadable Alpha 1 a update file or can be used for full installation file
I've a TP on which I've never installed android, so I want to try out cyagonmod 9 alpha 1, I downloaded the file provided on the rootzwiki official thread, can i use that file to install it on my TP using instruction of alpha 0.6 installation given on various sites. Or is that file just an update file that should be used to install on TP that already has earlier builds or android versions
Any news about wifi?

None of the ROMs require an older ROM. They will upgrade if an old version is there but will also work with nothing.

The ACMEInstaller does a lot more than just install the image. It also partitions the HDD, installs moboot etc. So, if this is a first time Android install, you have to follow the original instructions but use latest CM9 a1 file. If you already have CM9 installed, then you don't need the ACMEInstaller. Just install the new file via the moboot option.
If I have classicnerd installed but want to put CM9 aplha1 on, can I just wipe data, caches.
Will this clear classicnerd from my moboot?
Sweet, WatchESPN app works now but the video is pixelated. I'll have to try the build.prop fix from above.

So I was browsing the Tab forum and I saw that there was a hack to make Hulu work on the Tab even though Hulu tries to block mobile devices. Here's the link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=855898
What I wanted to know is, will this work for Archos too? I know that there is already a hacked version of Flash for the Archos, so I know it's possible to do this.
Any thoughts?

Dunno if I'm way off here, but wouldn't changing your User Agent fix this?
just use dolphin hd browser and set user agent to desktop
I believe what hulu does is it detects what kind of flash your using. it doesn't accept the flash that adobe released for mobile devices. so user agent doesn't solve it. but I can't say I know if that flash hack works for Archos, I might test it later
User agent does not work for me in Dolphin HD
No success. Any other tips? I am willing to try.
I followed his instructions to hexedit the file and HULU is now working in Dolphin Browser. But it is so slow and choppy that is completely unwatchable.
We might have better luck once we get the GPU optimized version of flash from archos.

Theoretically using a proxy website (or anonymous browsing website) might work. However since it transmits from hulu to another site, and then to you it might be slower than other methods (like simple browser masking).

Are the other videos you watch online choppy as well? Where did you get your version of flash? (Is it one downloaded from the market, or is it the gregmattersen droid x version that was posted on the archosfans site?)
I used gregmattersen droid x version. I just tried a youtube video and it was choppy too but not as much as the Hulu site.

yeah but the bitrates aren't even comparable. Hulu uses 5x or more what youtube does on SD... that means lag in streaming and lag in processing.
I think the optimized version of flash is the answer, once Archos gives it to us. nice to know we can hexedit it and get it working though

It may not be ideal, but for the time being people who are interested in watching Hulu might be able to get it to run through the widget linked on the page below. Since its running through a widget in a smaller size it may not be as taxing on the system and allow video to play smoother (until an optimized flash comes out).

archos 70 hulu not working
ok first off, i am a major league amateur when it comes to hacking, rooting or anything so i will need bigtime simple step by step instructions.
i have an archos 70 with the latest firmware update. i wanna watch netflix and hulu on it via my hdtv. i know hulu blocks droid/mobile devices. i tried the user agent switch, the hulu widget and the fixed flask apk. i probably am doing something wrong but idk what.
any and all help will be appreciated. thanks!!
I think the only way this will ever work with any margin of success is to capture the stream that is coming from Hulu on a computer and recompress the content to something with an appropriate resolution/quality for playback on the device.
Or download the torrents of your favorite shows...
archos 70 streaming netflix and hulu
so far i have had no luck with anything. tried teamviewer on my computer, using the archos to access it, but the video was so laggy it was unwatchable. sure hope someone figures out how to trick hulu or netflix so i can stream it thru my archos 70 onto my hdtv.
again, total noob here, with no clue how to hack anything but willing to learn.
Enjoy

are you able to access "http://homeserverIP:32400/manage/" on a desktop other than the home server?
The phones you listed, is that just stating what firmware they have or that they are streaming with that firmware?

I don't think many people run plex here. I only had an issue with getting plex working was when UPnP was enabled. I disabled the service and did the firewall settings and enabled it again, been working no problem since.
With as many devices you have trying to get working, you might be better off going to the plex forums and inquiring there. http://forums.plexapp.com/
I've read through before and they do not support custom roms, only stock. And as for the galaxy tab with calkin's, it does not work for me either but it does on stock honeycomb and the first KFC touchwiz release. I am hoping the new official touchwiz will work out of the box. Good luck!

Does anyone have the problem or have a solution to the problem of YouTube not playing when in HQ mode on the Nook Color in Nightly 177?

I finally updated from over 100 nightlies ago where HQ did work but had the battery drain issue...

Got the problem as well. You can go to YouTube on the web to watch better quality videos.
Oh, and by the way, it does seem to play some HQ videos.
I am having this same problem.any fix yet?
What version of YouTube are you running? I was having issues with 2.2.14, so I'm running an older apk, see this thread for the download info;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1209653&page=3&highlight=youtube
ok I have found the solution for that.
Use the YouTube apk that is in the manualnooter 4-6-16 using rootexplorer just extract it and install it on top of whatever version you have.
FYI I think its version 2.1.6 .

Hi there, this is my first post but I'm not new to the world of custom ROMs.
I have had many ROMs over the years and have recently flashed the slimsaber 4.4.4 v9 with dorimanx 3.14.
All seems to be well apart from a few minor issues that are not of any concern. That is apart from YouTube! My favourite app. It will no longer allow my to select anything greater than 360p. Kind of annoying. I have tried many things to fix this. Like flashing the ROM again. Adjusting DPI to 200. Even used xposed installer. And I can't figure it out.
It was working fine on my previous ROM (jb. I went back to stock ROM) I have not reflashed since the problem but might try as a last resort.
Please can someone help with this. I have read many forums that date back a few years relating to this issue and have tried suggested fixes.
Why is this happening? Could it be a hardware problem?
Thanks

Hi
I suppose you searched already in slimsaber 4.4.4 thread for you tube problems? I saw several posts concerning this matter.
Does you tube properly work when using Browser (test not only with stock Browser but others like Dolphin).
Sent from my STAIRWAY using XDA-Developers mobile app
Thanks for quick response.
YouTube only plays audio on stock browser. On dolphin it works the same as the app.
I'll check the threads again.
Are there any video drivers that can be installed. Is there a way of formatting that will rectify it? Any one have any suggestions?
@elemenopy
I don't quite get what the point is. I think our device's screen resolution is only 360p, right? So it doesn't make sense to try bigger resolutions in YouTube, as you will see no difference. Someone correct me if this is wrong.
As far as i know screen resolution is 480 x 800 pixels

Hi,
You can't install any video drivers onto the ROM as the correct ones are provided by the kernel.
If you really want higher than 360p, try using this modded youtube app:
[MOD] YouTube 4.4.11 (v5b), *1080p* / 720p HD (over WiFi & 3G), screen off playback
Please note that the screen resolution is 480p, but youtube only defaults to 360p.
Note: Dev-host link is a bit dodgy because one of the download buttons seem to be an ad. The correct download button is safe and I've used it on my S2.

Yeah, forgive my ignorance on that part. I'm back on stock 4.1.2 and YouTube only allows 360p. However, I guess the reason why I was hunting for this 'fix' was due to a pixelated image on YouTube when on the slimsaber rom. Also the stock browser would not play video image only audio. This has now gone back to normal now that I'm on jb.
