Happens that, in my Atrix with Stock Rom With the Latest OTA, when i download a 720p mp4 video with the Keepvid app, The system player simply says that it cant play it. if i download the normal version, without 720p it works. i've searched for it here and other forums and it says about of the video encoding being H.264. then they reached the conclusion that tegra 2 cant decode it natively... okey, but i went to the acer iconia tab of my brother who has the same tegra 2, and it played the 720p flawlessly, with the stock player! the same video! it cant be hardware if that worked.. do anybody know if this is just disabled in stock? or maybe a feature of Android 3.0+ ? Thanks in advance
Comeon people nobody ever tried this?

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.

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
Hi there.
Anybody know if there is a way to enable/patch the rom so the hw acceleration would be possible.
i play the mkv files with mx video player and i see that there is only the sw possible.
anybody have any idea?
Such a thing does not yet exist for any AOSP based ROMs.
as a matter of fact it does exist in one GB rom ...

Whilst I see that it is listed as a feature of that ROM, I'd personally like to call bull<insert profanity> on any HW acceleration of video playback claims.

well i have tried the AdyScorpiusMIUI-GB yesterday and the videos with 1080p 30fps played smoothly with normal frame rate.
p.s. i have noticed that the new Miui Special Edition v7 has HW acceleration too.
I'll give it a try today...
hi guys im new in this forum.......its possible fix the HW video decoder on minicm9???
Thanks C:
Maybe, maybe not.. all ICS roms are alpha or beta at the moment and the devs are working hard on the issues that remain, I guess they will succeed at some point, but there's no telling when.
i hope next cm9 vers video recorder

thanx....... yeahh me too but youtube app uses HW :C..........
Hi. I tried searching around the forum but I didn't reach a conclusive response. I just bought a Sola (it's completely stock) and decided to try to watch a few movies on it. I downloaded MX Player and noticed that it wouldn't use HW, just SW rendering. I downloaded the ARMv7 Neon codec but it didn't help. Am I missing something or HW is not supported on the Sola because of the NovaThor SoC?

MX player PRO supports hardware acceleration, not the free version. I am using PRO version on my Sola and it uses H/W.

there is a message popup on PRO version that specifically tells me of H/W, was not there in free. it might have been supported though.
