I watch a lot of live streams of starcraft 2 from twitch tv. However, I noticed that the quality is so poor. You can only choose low or medium as quality options on my note.
I also have an HP touchpad and it has CM9 nightly on it. Twitch TV app works better on there. It has low, medium, high, Ultra options.
I'm just wondering why I don't have an option for High or Ultra for my note. Unfortunately, there are no options/settings for this app.
Is it because the HP TP is considered a tablet, giving more quality options? Or is because the TP has a lower resolution compared to the note?
Is there a way to hack the app to have better quality options for the note? BTW, both devices are connected to my wireless router (FIOS 45down / 35up).
EDIT: I'm on GB, using the unofficial with v6 script and yes, if I got directly go to the browser (flash based twitch.tv), I can stream to 1080p without a hitch.
Thanks
I experienced the same thing on my note using GB. I did install ICS and do have the high and ultra settings. I am assuming its a GB related issue. Installing one of the ICS roms will get you the High/Ultra quality options.

Got it. Too bad MX player has issues on ICS for me (subtitles sync issue). I use both apps heavily (twitch tv and mx player).
Decisions decisions ..
thanks man!

Well I am on my third Gingerbread rom (6th overall rom) and I finally have gotten the Vulkano to stream in all situations. Last night I downloaded CM7's nightly build 58 and flashed my G-Tablet. Installation was very smooth using clockworkmod and all 128 apps were restored using Titanium back with no problems. I had wiped and formated just about everything I could before doing the installation. After that I went to the market and downloaded the Vulkano player and at last sucess. I was able to stream from the vulkano both locally and over the internet. I realize some other people have had sucess using Corwins rom (CM7 based), and that was going to be next if this did not work. I had previously tried G-Harmony with no sucess, and then Vegan Tab GB with limited succes. The strange thing with Vegan Tab was it would stream over the internet however it would not stream when I was home locally. Watching the bandwidth I was getting at home the software player seemed to choke everytime it was over 1 mb/sec. When I was out of the house and connected over the internet it worked fine at speeds anywhere from 300-900k. This leads me to believe the hardware accelleration that is now included in CM7 is working with this app allowing it to run over my local network. Another thing that I have struggled with is getting recorded shows downloaded to my G-Tab. Well I still can not get it to work with any rom and the vulkano player but I have a work around for now. By down loading the videos using UPNPdownloader (avlalable in the market for free) you can then watch the recordings using MOBOPlayer or Rockplayer. Now for even better news when Rockplayers asks if you want to use hardware decoding and you answer yes the videos run close to flawlessly. On the other two GB roms it obviously would not work using the hardware decoding. They did run on the roms using the software decoding but they would stutter even at the lowest recorded resolutons. When playing high quality recordings they would be unwatchable due to the delay in video processing in which the sound which was a full 3-5 seconds ahead of the picture. This would make all sense since the Vulkano records in the H.264 video format and if I am not mistaken that is the portion of hardware accelleration that is working. Well I hope this helps someone else.
Lastly I do miss the Vegan Tab interface, the VT Launcher was very smooth and the rom was much more tablet oriented. I can not wait until gojimi includes this in his rom since the rom is CM7 based if I am not mistaken. Please excuse any typos and good luck.

Interesting. I have a vulkano, and am running vegantab with pershoot's latest overclocked kernel - I have not gotten around to getting it set up, but under that other OS (er, iOS?) I would pull over 2Mbit/sec (more like 3) for local HD content, and 1.5+ for remote (yay for comcast HSI) - I should test it out. I'll let you know what I see tomorrow!

Sounds good I am interested to see what happens. I am currently streaming between 1.6 and 2.0 mb/secs locally using the wireless router Verizion put in when I got Fios. My iphone streams locally between 300k - 600k usually.

VeganGinger just gives me a black screen and spinning "buffering" with the Vulkano inside the home. Meh. Not so good!
For the record, Vulkano (Monsoon) refuses to support G Tab and Android 2.2 at all. I'm now in a legal war with these clowns. be careful on CM7 as you may still encounter buffering quite often and screen lockups.
Vulkano issues on CM7 for Evo
I have the Vulkano player working flawlessly on my Nook Color running CM7.1 RC1
However, I cannot for the life of me get it working CM7 and my Evo 4G. Tried the stable and testing builds. I'm still debating if I really want to move to a nighly, but I might just do it to see if it works and restore back to 7.1 RC1.
BTW, I'm so happy they finally have a root process for the Evo 4G on Gingerbread!

Hello,
I am trying to make if possible the android vulkano application to work with 4.4.2 or Lollipop and stream while the screen is off.
This was possible with my 2.3.7. But with newer devices seems impossible. I am digging up some old vulkano posts incase somebody figured this out.
Thank you very much.
Just got my G-Tablet today and installed a few different roms on it with no issues (first time with a droid device! These forums and gtablet for dummies have been a very big help) but it seems that all the videos from say youtube or any site for that matter play with low quality. If I go to youtube and watch any clip that is suppose to be HD and open up the video it looks like 360p on my tablet (sorta blocky/ugly but plays fine). I can't select 720/1080p etc on the video. It just lets me click play and then it goes full screen. In the top right of the video it says "HQ" but it really isn't.
I'm currently using Calkulin + Clemsyn Combo Overclock at 1.5 ghz V6 ROM (flash works) and everything works pretty darn good. I tried CM7 and Vegan 7 and couldn't get flash to work at all and the video quality was poor as well.
I've tried playing the videos with the youtube app and 4 different browsers all to the same effect (opera, dolphin hd, firefox, and the broswer that came with each ROM). Any help would be greatly appreciated.
ps: I searched the forum for my exact problem and did not find any threads on it. Sorry if this seems to be a recurring thread. I'm also use to my iphone 4 which plays videos in very good HD quality and the only reason I'm switching to a droid tablet instead of getting say an ipad is 1. price and 2. customization.
anyone have ideas?
If you look around there is something on HQ video. I think until they get the proper drivers it will not work in HQ.
Anybody know what the best (optimal) conversion settings are for the htc titan?? I have a few blu ray videos that i want to convert for the phone. I used these videos on my samsung focus and they play fantastic but on the titan i see stuttering on some seens. thanks in advance
same issues here. tried multiple samples, changed framerate from original to 24, 29, etc. I'm wondering if this is something HTC/M$ overlooked?
I just converted some 720p shows for my titan and it works fine. The framerate might not be perfect, but it's consistent and you won't notice it. I used mp4hd with HD2 settings, High quality.

What program are you using?
looks like our frame rate issue is resolution related. My earlier samples where set at 800*480, which are default for this OS/device, and noticed the FR stutter on slow camera pan scenes, however, this is resolved when i used 640*480 and bumped up the kbs to 4000 (my preference, you can go lower), keeping the FR to original or 24fps. 720*480, DVD default, gave me the frame rate "bump" every few seconds. this was confirmed using Format factory, Tipard blu-ray converter, and IMTOO vid converters. i used XBOX hd video settings, WM9 vid codec along with the above settings and Im good to go. Hope this helps.
Now that ICS has been released i have a few questions for current Mediapad owners that hopefully will help me decide if want to get one
1) I know that the mediapad is not the benchmark leader, do games like "temple run" and "wind up knight" run smoothly on it?
2) Is the native android SIP (internet calling) enabled in the final ICS version?
3) I read a lot of complaint out the touchscreen sensitivity. Has it been fixed in the latest ICS build?
4) How the web browser?
5) When you connect your mediapad through the HDMI out, how is the picture quality?
Any information you can provide will be greatly appreciated.

1) yes.
2) no. At least it isn't exposed in the Huawei native phone app.
3) still the same, at least compared to the last beta build. Not really a problem though. But the jitter is more pronounced in high resolution setting (basically it will set the dpi to low, thus would look like 10" tablet scaled to 7"... Everything is smaller).
4) never encountered any problem. You can also use other browser like Dolphin and it would also be accelerated (basically Dolphin runs very smooth in ICS vs laggish in Galaxy Note).
5) looks low resolution (unless for portrait apps). So basically the same as previous build. I haven't use HC, so I don't know how much better it supposed to be, but compared to Galaxy Note, the note have better image quality but everything run more sluggish when using HDMI compared to mediapad which run very smooth but at lower resolution (and probably lower color depth also?).

1. Never mind the benchmarks, everything I've thrown at it runs smoothly (the likes of GTA III, DeadSpace, Shadowgun, Six Guns, and so on).
2. The client is not included.
3. I'm using hi-res mode and don't have any problems or annoyances.
4. I'm using Opera and it works great. Stock one is not causing any trouble either.
5. Not tested yet. Sorry.
Thanks guys!
For the screen issue, does it mean yo sometimes have to tap twice on items when using high res mode?
I also read on some forum that there are issued with Skype video on the latest release. Con someone confirm?
I will download the system files and see how to enable the native SIP client. It is normally a setting in the framework-Res.apk file.

As long as you have steady hand/finger while tapping and light touch then it shouldn't be a problem. The biggest annoyance is when you play something that need steady aim like angry birds and shooting games (contract killer or other games that you basically need to hold your finger at the screen steadily) because it will be jittery. It isn't that you can't play it, but it definitely add an extra challenge to the game. Skype issue is mostly on the skype itself. I haven't tested it yet (on the official build), but I read in skype forum that some other ICS devices also have this green video problem.

Not at all. However, everything is about half (two thirds maybe) the size when in hi-res, so if you have (very) large hands it might be a problem. Like rurou said "like 10" tablet scaled to 7""...
I have been a longtime user and fan of PowerAmp. It has been the best music player (IMO of course) up to this point. Well it seems
as there is only one developer that manages and writes PowerAmp. This has resulted in loss of functionality to certain degrees, and form
with using PowerAmp on any Android version 5x and higher. Apparently the developer has bitten off more than he could chew in a reasonable
fashion, leading to no updates from a V3 Alpha form in over a year. So all there is in stable form is V2 that works on Kitkat and below versions.
Using V2 on a newer Android version 5x+ results in losses of quite a few functions, but still usable in ways. This leads me to my question...
What are you using for a non streaming music app? I am looking for superb sound feedback, Edge screen functionality, and adjustable parameters
to tune sound feedback such as Hi-Res to take advantage of onboard DAC functions. All feedback is appreciated, as I look forward to your responses.
Thanks much!
I'm still using PowerAmp
PowerAmp is still my app of choice. The alpha can work directly with the HD capabilities of the Snapdragon 835.

PowerAmp. It does what I want and then some.
Hell yeah, poweramp since release here. I'm wondering why I lost the hi-res output option though coming from the N4 to the N8 though? And I used the same apk.
I've been using Media Monkey for years now. Tried and bought them all for android and always go back to Media Monkey.
PowerAmp - Nothing better
+1 PowerAmp
GoneMad Music Player
I used PowerAMP for many years, but switched to Stellio. It's a much better player in my opinion, lots of customization and the UI is so beautiful.
I've been using Rocket Player. My use case is probably different those others, though. I'm a long time iTunes user and have Apple Lossless music. Rocket Player can play those.

Lots of actually usable setting options... like MX Player but for audio. The claim to be for "audiophiles" brought me to it.

I am using both poweramp and the Samsung player from the app store. I like the way the samsung player integrates with the phone perfectly. It is strange that it is not pre loaded with the phone but I guess Google is trying to push theirs.

Wonder why hi-res isn't available, but was on the note 4?
Was a long time PowerAmp user but for some reason, which I can't recall at the moment, I was encountering an issue which lead me to try JetAudio.
A year later and JetAudio is my player of choice. I still use PowerAmp on my Shield Tablet but for everyday use, JetAudio never fails to impress.
Only caveat is that all of its sound plugins, excluding the default one, require you to purchase a license but you can try them before you buy.
What is the name of that music player
