HI
I'm running cm7, lovin it, but I have a question:
are we ever going to see the video codecs from stock 2.2? I can barely play any movies on this rom...Tried the gallery video player plus a whoooole range of others and still nothing.....any fix for this?
Ive tried rockplayer, vplayer, qplayer, mvideoplayer......almost all on the market...lol
just this one thing is enough to make me go back to 2.2
its an amazing rom...a bit unfortunate that it doesnt have this support for a wide variety of video formats.
I have an issue that after searching the forums, could not find anyone reporting this issue.
I am trying to use MediaFly application that provides access to Video Podcasts. One of the Podcasts I wanted to view is "NBC Nightly News" this is a HD video podcast that is in .m4v format and when it tries to play I get Video tearing (Reminds me of old TV with bad Horz adjustment). I then used the Download option to get a LOCAL copy of the Podcast file and tried playing it with RockPlayer. When asked by RockPlayer if I wanted to use HARDWARE or SOFTWARE decoding, I selected hardware and it started to play and has the exact same video tearing. I then went back and tried Software Decoding and it plays fine (No tearing). I have tried a number of methods to resolve this and searched my brains out trying to get Rock Player as the Default video player (No luck). In some applications it asks me what player I want to use (File Manager) and if I choose Rock Player, It will play fine but for others I still get tearing.
I have tried both versions of Mediafly with no luck.
I am running Vegan-Tab GingerEdition 7.0.0
Any help is appreciated..

It's a wonder you got it to play at all with HW acceleration, as that is broken in VeganGinger.
MediaFly must use its own built-in player, if so you have no control over it. Your best bet is local download, or wait for better drivers supporting HW decoding, or switch to a Froyo based Rom which fully supports HW decoding.
That is what I was afraid of. I was hoping there was a way to disable Hardware Deconding so that whatever Player an App uses to play video, it would just use software decoding (At least Until newer drivers are available).
it isnt just veganginger, any rom based on GB does not support hardware video, you need a froyo based rom for hardware video.
at least thats what i have been reading here on the forums.
pretty sure rockplayer has a setting that you can tell it software only.

Yes, Rockplayer does support Software deconding and it works great! The problem is I have no way to tell some apps (MediaFly) to use ROCK PLAYER as the video stream renderer and even when I can specify Rock player, I sometimes defaults to Hardware decode.
My uderstanding is the the App "Galary" is the default player and it does not appear to ahve a way to setup for no hardware decode.
I really like Vegan-Tab GingerEditon and do not want to go back to Froyo and thiis issue is not enought of a problem to consider reverting.

I think Vital Player defaults to Software decoding, you might want to try that player. I have both Rock and Vital on my gtab. I switch from time to time based on performance on a certain video file.
Also, do you have a custom kernel installed on your gtab? I thought pershoots kernel had some form of hardware decoding. You might want to give that a shot too.

I download the Vital player and it works, but so did Rock Player. Has anyone used Pershoots Kernel with Vegan-Tab GingerEdition. I tried last week, and the WiFi stopped working and I had to re-install GingerEdition.
I know I should just shut up and wait for updated kernel Hardware drivers, but I like having a challenge to keep me busy.
Again thanks everyone for their input and suggestions.
Well, I just could not deal with the limited video rendering. I switched back to Vegan Tab 5.1 Really miss the VTLauncher
Thanks everyone for you support
Look for the link in apps or just buy it in the market and support GoJimi. I run it on my Droid 1

Indeed - you can install VTL Launcher 1.6.2 on anything. It is the best launcher for tablets
Suggest you buy it or at least dump off a donation on his site...
Hi guys,
I am currently using Android Revolution HD 6.5.1 XE on my Sensation and I have several major problems:
1. I realize that 1080p mkv videos that my phone can play smoothly on Gingerbread (including Youtube HD 1080p) now become laggy. Even with SD videos (fully HW accelerated), sometimes the playback is choppy as well (I use MX player and Dice player). Can anyone help me confirm whether you have the same problems? I believe ARHD ICS does not have GPU overclocked as on Gingerbread, hence the choppy video playback.
2. On random occasions, I cannot get any sound on any applications, but notification sounds and stock music player are working normally. I can still listen to music through the stock player but cannot get any sound for videos. Everything will return to normal when I restart the phone.
3. Wifi randomly turns on by itself. The last time I check, this problem seems to be unsolved, but I may be wrong.
Any kind souls willing to give me some directions to solve the above problems? ARHD Gingerbread ROM does not have any of the problems above, but I don't want to go back to Gingerbread.
I have a problem with the sound quality when playing movies. It's very degraded, distorted. I cannot watch a movie on it. Happens on all video players and on flash video players (eg. streaming online movies) not on youtube and on Ted application.
Please advise me how to fix this - it's very frustrating.
Thanks
Hi friend,
I am using Resurrection Remix ics v1.1 PRO[XXLPE]4.0.3, i didnt find any volume issue.
if you post this question in the resurrection thread you will get much better/faster response.
Thanks. I couldn't post there since I am a new member.
Found the problem: my headphones were from I9000. Tried with the new ones: everyrhing smooth. Weird though some aplications and music had no issues.
Cheers
Ps: now if I only solve the problem with the photo editor

Hi! I have problems with video playback in HD and FullHD. It was working great in stock rom, but in any other rom it doesn't work, except in Nameless rom, although with a little lag while showing the on screen controllers with MX Player.
I recently installed Cyanogenmod 12.1, and the video wasn't working, but I don't know what hapened, that suddenly the video started to play perfectly, without the lag from nameless, and it never happened with any other rom, but after I restarted the phone the video was having the same problem. Any ideas of how to fix it?
Now I can't activate hw acceleration, and I think that was the reason why it was working.
