Streaming 1080p over Wifi - what is the bottleneck here? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Device 1) Samsung Galaxy S3, Quad Core A9, Mali 400
Device 2) iPad 3, Dual Core A9, PowerVR 4 core
Networking: Dual band router (situated 1 metre away), gigabit server plugged into gigabit switch
(I can stream 1080p on my PC and Macbook Pro fine (due to stronger CPU's vs ARM design?))
Both mobile devices can stream 720p fine
I get issues when trying to stream 1080p. Obviously the Galaxy S3 only has a 720p screen anyway, but I still wanted to see if it was possible
I have tried multiple programs on both devices. At 1080p, the iPad can only stream the audio. No picture. The Galaxy S3 is able to stream both audio and video, although the video is choppy
What is the bottleneck here? Is it due to poor software? Or are the ARM A9 CPU's too weak for this kind of thing? I know they can play local 1080p content perfectly fine, but there seems to be issues with network content
Thanks!

Any ideas?

Galaxy S II orion or exynos processor help

So is this processor better than tegra2?
Anyone have knowledge for this against Hummingbird
Will i be able to overclock or will only 95% be able or the other 5% not like me and my galaxy s vibrant.
Sorry for asking this on wrong forum?
Are there any production samples of the Orion or exynos yet? You need those first to be able to get that specific of info.

ok so let me get this straight, its got a dual core cpu and a quad core gpu? hmm thats and interesting turn out
Lack of HDMI does stand out...it'd be neat to find out they did something with wireless display, like that 60Ghz spec + wi-fi direct or something. Things might change between now and release.

High Profile MKV Playback

Ok, so we have been told the Atrix and ALL Tegra 2 devices cannot playback High Profile MKV. Most people believe it.
It's not true whatsoever. Single core 800mhz CPU's can do it, this one can too. We are looking at codec's or drivers here. I know it's almost entirely GPU related, so CPU speed doesn't matter much. I am SURE the Atrix can play 720p MKV decoded using the CPU.
My 1.6ghz Atom can do that. For the most part. Cortex A9 smashes Atom N450 though, shouldnt be an issue. From what I've seen we cannot even access our other core yet, I have seen NO apps that benefit from it yet. Looks like its time. If this can be fixed, Tegra 2 will be much better off. At this point, I am not proud of my phone anymore, inferior, older phones can play videos my Atrix cannot. Umm, wat?
We need to fix this now, it's pathetic. Can anyone shed some light on this?
*edit*
Nvidia is such trash for doing this. Last Nvidia product I buy. After the GTX 400 series GPU's and then this, lost ALL faith in them.
i agree, its pathetic...
to be fair, on a small screen baseline profile is perfectly fine in terms of quality, but its more the convenience of being able to drag and drop a x264 rip without having to encode.

GPU S3 vs S2. On what depends video decoding?

Hi
when I understood it in the right way, the S2 and S3 have the same GPU. (mali)
The only Difference is that the one from the S3 can run at 400Mhz.
But u can overclock the one from the S2 to 400 MHz too.
My question:
1.)If they run the GPU in the S3 @400 MHz is it then safe to overclock it in the S2 to 400MHz?
Or do they have a whole new cooling concept?
2.) On what depends the video decoding speed?
I can run h264 movies in 1080p at up to 14 MBit /s on my S2.
What bitrates is the S3 capable of?
Do they use CPU or GPU for hardware decoding?
Thx in advance
Generally hd video decoding are done via GPU, s3 is capable of playing any video at any format. the same stands for s2 , i havent found any videos incapable of playing.
No its not the same gpu.
sgs3 has double the power of sgs2 in gpu department due to clock speed and may be a nm shrink.
edit: looks like both are quadcore gpus
No its not the same gpu.

From what source you take that information?
My information:

S3 : QuadCore + Mali 400 @ 400Mhz
s3 is capable of playing any video at any format. the same stands for s2

I dont talk about the format.
The bitrate is the interesting thing. I can't play h264 videos with more than 14Mbit/s on my S2 @ an 1080p resolution
*push*
Does the galaxy s2 have mali-400mp4 the quad-core version of mali-400mp or some other one ?
it's really confusing
if it's a quad-core unit then how do i check that ?
And if possible could any of you put up a screen shot of gpu info from quadrant
improved Exynos CPU chip on a smaller die 32nm, (s2 45nm), its safe to use it at 400mhz but more heat is generated
Samsung mentioned its graphics performance is 50% higher than in the Galaxy S II, but this can easily be done by just upping the clock speed of the GPU to about 400MHz.

So they are different chips with different thermal profiles. Run the S3 at 400MHz and it is fine. Run the S2 at 400MHz and you get a lot of heat being generated.

The GPU can decode that without problems. Is your h264 video using AC3 audio? Test using a video with a standard mp3 audio track.
S3 more plastic feals cheap not my new Phone.. I am still use my sgs2.
Both are fast at playing Videos. I cant find any Video that can or will make any problem
I think i sell my s3
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
I transferred some videos recorded on my friend's s3 and played them on my phone and it plays fine but gets stuck at some points, misses some frames and then continues, audio goes on but video gets stuck. It worked fine if I forward to the point where it happens, then that part plays smoothly. from what I read, the S2 and S3 both record 1080 at 17 mbps so why is this happening? The files are stored on the internal SD and I played them using stock video player. I'm on siyah kernal also.

Please add support for opengles 3.0 or later for radeon driver in Remix Os, cause I can't run many apps and games that support for opengles 3.0. So I have to root Remix Is and change opengles version to version 2.0 in build.prop so apps can run,

Works fine but wifi sometimes needs reset and remix os seems to use a single CPU core - CPU is heavily throttling all the time. Also the GPU is seen as VMWare generic GPU and I have no graphic acceleration. The system freezes for a few seconds when heavily loaded but I think it's due to missing graphic acceleration/missing multiple cores I guess.

System works fine. Runs only on GPU embedded on CPU, would be great see it running on my GeForce. WiFi signal is a little weak, but nothing too annoying. Data.img size is terrible we need more space to test the OS, root access either. Remix messes with Windows clock. Please, enable launchers from Play Store (Nova works great, for example). Sound thru HDMI support is hard, I know, but it would be so great.

like was stated before, hoping for driver optimizations for the gpu, since i know that x.org is just the basic of the basic and I notice stuttering in some games that i try to play. On another note, I had one hell of a trouble to get Remix OS installed directly onto a partition that i set up for it, but it is working well now.

Works well except:
DPI scaling has to be done before each boot
Touch screen stops working seemingly at random after a while
WiFi dropping out.
Once those things are fixed it'll be booted more than Windows

Choppy 1080p playback on Asus Chromebox CN60 (Celeron 2955U + 8GB Ram)

After a number of failing Android TV boxes, I began searching for something better. I had set up an openelec box for my buddy on a CN60, and figured I'd do something similar as the hardware seemed more than performant.
My needs: Plex, Kodi, Netflix. Much of my local content is 1080p.
After successfully installing Remix OS (3.0.7) on my upgraded chromebox (celeron 2955u w/ 8gb ram) everything seemed to perform fairly snappy. Apps load quick. The OS itself loads quick. The trouble began when I started setting up plex and kodi.
SD is fine. 720p is a bit choppy but fairly smooth but 1080p files basically don't play at all. They begin to play and are choppy as heck. Audio is ok, but the video frame rate is maybe 1 frame per 30 seconds, and sometimes just stops all together.
I assume this is a limitation of the code. Has anyone worked out a solution? Does remix perform like this on higher end hardware? I have some i5's kicking about, I just wanted to use this on a machine with a smaller power and size footprint.

Maybe you should the dev team to get improved support for your device then
I've got a CN60 Celeron CPU and from what I've read the only sure way to get 1080P on these devices is with a core i3 or i5 option not the Celeron. As history proves, the Celeron is a pathetic CPU except for web surfing and document creation with occasional SD video watching.

As I stated above, the Celeron proves more than capable of playing 1080p files (streams or local) on a number of other OS'. (Currently running Gallium w/ Kodi 17 beta, its fairly snappy.) I suppose its a limitation of the Android-x86 instruction set being more geared towards newer CPU's. It should be noted that Remix OS for PC is advertised as being built to 'bring old hardware back to life', so I figured I'd pose the question to see if there was a solution other than 'get a new computer.'

Then check which drivers are being loaded by the OSes and see if there's anything standing out.
