Freezing during streaming video - Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet

I have an 8gb, and no matter what ROM I use, streaming video freezes. Like YouTube. Has anyone else seen this? Video stops but sound keeps going. Have you found a ROM that doesn't do it?
I thought I read before that it was an old kernel issue but the ROMs I've been trying lately seem to have a newer one. I don't know.
Thanks

Mostly all the ROMs have this issue. I haven't found one that fixes the problem. Hopefully that is changed soon.

I have the 16 GB, but I have experienced that "video stops, sound goes on" thing in some ROMs. I haven't had it happen since I installed Succulents 1231 build of CM10 though. http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2012/11/03/cm10-0-jelly-bean-for-nook-tablet-uploading/
I don't play lots of streaming video though, so maybe I've just been lucky, but on the ROMs where I have noticed the problem it has occured very frequently. And with this one not at all...
Edit: I now see that Datallboy uses that same ROM on the 8GB and still has the problem. So I guess the fact that it works on my 16GB is of no help to those with 8GB. :crying:

Thought I'd give an update. I've been using the slimbean ROM and haven't seen the issue yet. But the ROM itself isn't that fast.

That issue came from cm10 up to now. To avoid of this, I choose to install youtube alternative app called "smart tube" set the quality of video to 360p and the device doing very well.

I never had this issue with Succulent's final CM10.0, but have run into it with some CM10.1 builds, typically when I had not done a clean install (i.e., wiping /data partition) in which cases doing an un-install/re-install of YouTube would fix it.

Dang Slimbean rom does it too. If anyone figures this out let me know.

[Q] Is the youtube app update 2.2.14 break playing videos for you?

Just updated the youtube app to 2.2.14:
-uploading over wifi is still broken for a decent length of video, e.g. 1min/88MB. The upload goes for a while, stops, times out, retries, rinse repeat and then fails.
- cannot play videos. A video will play for 3-5 seconds, freeze, act like it's buffering, and then just stop.
Anyone else get this behavior? I'm on 2.3.4 stock, rooted.
Yes same thing has been happening to me. It started yesterday. No videos load at all. I'm on cyanogenmod though. The prebeta

That's the one thing I miss about the iPhone. Yeah, the Youtube app stinks on the iPhone also, but at least you can watch YT videos on the default web browser and *never* have any problems such as buffering.
When I try to watch YT videos on the Android's web browser(s), I get a message that says "Sorry, can't play this video". WTF!
Same here in gobstopper bell...YouTube plays a few seconds then buffers forever

I have the same problem with the latest version as well. Sometimes hang and sometimes causes the phone to hard reboot. I found an older version of youtube that you can sideload.

You should be able to uninstall the update, that's what I did. I was just wondering if anyone else was experiencing similar problems. Seems like it .

[Q] Youtube video online streaming

Guys, i observed that when i play HD videos using youtube app or mobile version on the browser and usually if it's a long video it somewhat stutters.. Am i the only one experiencing this?
I am running on Hyperdroid 1.1.1 with stock kernel (the kernel that came with the custom ROM)..
Don't know if this has been asked before so please just leave your experience and no trolling or flaming etc..

It's 3am in the morning here and i need to sleep.. Will be back after a few hours.. For those who will answer you will receive my thanks and if there is a way to fix this you may share it as well.. Cheers!!!
P.S- Stuttering only happens when the video is HD and it doesnt appear to stutter if the video is not HD..

I've also noticed it but can't remember when I first started to see it. Would be good if someone more skilled could shed some light on the issue as its really distracting once you notice it.
Surely it can't be the phone itself as there are plenty of older phones capable of playing youtube vids just fine.
Stock KI8 BTW.
I'll just bump this thread so everyone can see it..

I'm using Speedmod Kernel K2-18 test2 now, this is the only kernel, that gives me smooth playback of HD videos on Youtube. I don't know why, but guess something releated to the governor or scagualer. Try this kernel.

Super Video, Floating & Popup

I originally found this on the N7000 forum.
If you have seen the ability to watch a video while doing another task for the Samsung Galaxy 3, then this is it.
Pretty much the same deal. Works well with the Note i717.
I am running the Hybrid ROM in Tablet mode and this app works great.
You can find this app in the Play Store. Here's a demo vid - copied link from app description.

The split screen ability in the Note 10.1 would be another great feature to have now...

Its an awesome app.
Btw, this app already comes pre-installed in the HYFR B4 ROM.
Is it safe for an app to collect a device's imei to their server? The EULA claims that it is used to verify the device. It is in the privacy policy.
thats similar to stickit..i have used for a while now.. idk which one is better though

OK all, while this app seams to have everything I would want it has one major thing I don't want LAG. just wondering is it doing this to everyone or just me? What I mean is this, when it plays a video it plays about 2 sec then buffers, but in the youtube app the same video will play with no issues. I am useinf the free version and have un installed and re installed it already. Also I am getting throttled speeds on ATT however as I have said youtube works just fine. Any ideas?

I haven't experienced any lag as of yet. Both on Flapjaxxx's UCLE2 and CM9.
@spade1031
No lag here and I'm still on FJ's GB ROM.
With more use I've noticed it seems to be only YouTube and only.the hd videos, any other site with hd works fine and the YouTube app with hd works fine. Might just be that I'm throttled, I'll post back after my new bill cycle and update. Just asking is anyone else throttled and working right? By the way I'm only getting hspa+ in my area. But still a GREAT app for anyone, thanks again for sharing.

Been playing with this for a couple days, pretty cool, no real issues to report on paranoid android.
Full screen low framerate
App: Supervideo (HW Decode)
I am experiencing low frame rate when switching to full screen. When the video is floating, it's perfectly fine.
Is there anything I can do to fix this?
App: MX Player (Free)
Full screen is perfectly fine.

Online Video Corruption

Hi Guys,
I've had my S3 for a couple of months now, but i've found that i'm occasionally experiencing some corruption when viewing online Videos (guessing they're Flash vids). I have the latest Official Firmware, rooted with Franco Kernel - though this did happen before i rooted. It doesnt happen everytime, and even videos on the same website will play and then some don't. Has anyone else seen this before, have any ideas on how to fix it? Attached a screenshot of what happens.
I've been having the same problem I think I its a flash player issue and jellybean

Same here on a Sammy jellybean rom, i don't recall seeing this on aosp based Roms, I might be wrong though.
I did notice a work around though, the "corruption" only happens (or mostly) at 480p videos, so if you change the quality to 360p or 720p it should work as usual.
Hope this helps.

flash 11.1 had this issue on certain flash video's, since you can't get a newer flash branch, just uninstall it and use html5 video.

Its an older version of flash. It should work.

XBMC for android

Hey guys,
XBMC for android just hit a official beta state (Beta 2). i've tried to run it on my nexus 10 but unfortunately the app fc's. has anybody else gotten this problem? or does anyone know hot to get it working?
thanks in advance

From the XBMC team:
Users should be aware that an update to Android 4.2 appears to have temporarily broken XBMC support for all you Nexus and Cyanogenmod users (and anyone else running 4.2). Beta3 should be right around the corner, and we hope to have a fix in place by the time that rolls out.
You can probably get it working using a nightly build but I'm holding out for Beta 3.
Yes ive been running xbmc since i got my tablet 2 weeks ago, its good that they are making it officially supported.
My experience has been that all SD content plays perfect. All 720p MKV's play perfect, so long as the audio is not DTS, if the audio is aac or Dolby Digital its fine, but DTS makes it go very choppy.
1080p MKV is just very very choppy.
I believe it is because the internal player is all SW encoded, if they turn on HW support then it should run perfect, judging by how well MX player plays with the DTS codec download.
XBMC 12 RC1 is out. No longer beta. Working perfectly on 4.2.

RC2 http://mirrors.xbmc.org/releases/android/xbmc-12.0-Frodo_rc2-armeabi-v7a.apk
There's a version of XBMC for Android (starting on January 18th, I think) tagged as hwaccel that has, reportedly, HW acceleration in many Android devices.
Does anybody know how to check if the Nexus 10 is included?
I'm running it. Works great! Checkb out this article. It states that xbmc will call up an external video player like mxplayer, and steam HD

Scanned all movies from my readynas. Seems to be working well so far. Just played with past 15 min.
I've tried 3 different builds. The new xaf build, the hardware accl version and the beta 3 from xbmc.org and all 3 have same effect. Using local files they play fine. But when I use navi x to stream them they audio and video stutters pretty bad. I'm using clean rom 1.1 and Franco v4.

I actually went with the pivos nightly build..
Seems to be running OK..
Used the hub to autoset the addons it comes with..
But with that being said, I do see a new android nightly so I might be daring and give it a whirl..
http://mirrors.xbmc.org/nightlies/android/
Problems with addons for me on the 10/08 build..
Going to play with the monthly and see if any joy..
No joy..heading back to the pivos build..
The new builds are lightening fast with loading and navigation..
But scripts are not loading and its not allowing addons to access internet..
Which is a little painful as it will load in addons via fusion so its not access problems.
Anyway..looking forward to seeing these builds mature.

Man I'm loving the stable frodo build. The 1channel add on went through a little rough patch over the last day or so. Changing it domain from primewire to let me watch this fixed it. All my shows with subscriptions are working perfectly. Still can't believe something so polished and high performing is so cheap.

There is a good guide to setup on android devices for those that are new to XBMC.
http://www.xbmcandroid.com/2013/06/03/how-to-install-the-official-version-of-xbmc-for-android-then-configure-it-with-the-xbmc-hub-wizard-addon/
Also another little tip is to go in to programs XBMCHUB - Maintainnace -"Mantainance" - "download all UK plugins"
this will load a lot of the latest good plugins to add sites from.
total time for setup about 1/2hour.
Edit: So as not to double post..
heads up to this as well.. for those that dont have a Synology NAS and the programs that come with it..
