Hello everyone
I think most of you know about video recording issue in all KK+ ROMs
I'm trying to fix this bug ,but first let me tell you more about the problem and what I'm trying to do ...
Samsung uses PV/OpenCore codecs in stock ROM ... those codecs are from GingerBread era and they are actually not a hardware codecs they are just a software codecs which means when you try to record a video the hardware is not used and the CPU is used instead .
Those codecs are not used any more in KK+ ROMs ,which means that video recording won't work any more and we have some issues like green bar and lags while playing videos .
So I came up with 2 ideas to fix that Issue . First one is to build a camera app which uses an external video encoders to record videos using this way will make video recording videos work in all KK+ ROMs ,but I think we will still have an issue with other apps like What'sApp,line, etc ... as those apps will use video encoders included with system it self . so that takes us to second idea, I will try to add those software codec used in stock ROM to all KK+ ROMs and make system use those codec as default codecs ,which means video recording will works in all apps ...
The first idea is a little bit easier as all I need to use an open source app like OpenCamera and make it use an external video encoder and build it right away . In contrast the second idea is a bit harder as I need to build OpenCore codecs and make StageFright use it I also will have to build each ROM we have again .
At the moment I'm trying second idea and here's what I get :
I work on SlimKat as I have it source on my PC and it's bit good to go with .so I tried to build OpenCore and I failed as it will need a lot of edits to make it build on SlimKat source so I used prebuilt OpenCore bloobs from stock ROM and it seems like those codecs are working so I tried to play videos on YouTube and they are working smoothly, I also didn't faced green bar issue, even though I don't know if I integrated those codecs right or wrong as there's not any clear guide about it and some guides are before GingerBread era hence I need a lot of testers, reporters and help from each dev saw this thread So now I want you to download SlimKat ROM and do all your kind of tests .
Downloads :
ROM : SlimKat .
Bugs : Video recording is still broken so I will need to work more an camera app it self .
Notes :
kernel is over clocked to 1200 MHZ .
You need to flash WIFI hotspot fix to get it working (download in attachments) .

Yaa I guess so it's a software encoder app(you can also try any other app like it)
that's why video was recording in it..even though it was laggy @LahKeda
I saw a guy posting on cm 13 thread about video fix
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-gio/development/rom-cyanogenmod-11-28-03-2015-t3066771
As you said those codecs are from GB era the phone (Samsung Gio) is from that era itself with worse specs then our's but they were able to fix video recording on cm11
So my thoughts even our can also be fixed:fingers-crossed:
Interesting. Wish we could solve this issue.

Also can you pull the system ui from slimkat and upload it here????
I would appreciate your help
I accidentally replaced it with some other one and I don't have a pretty strong internet connection to download the whole slimkat...

Am I doing something wrong?
By the way, this one is a great rom. So smooth and no reboots. The only issue that I faced is that sometimes the UI becomes unresponsive. But it comes back to normal in just two seconds. And while using the browser, sometimes it freezes. Even the the animation of the web page continue to play with no lag.

No... The FLAC is audio.....
So what does FLAC do?
Its a kind of music file. But we normally use mp3 or ogg, right?

Exactly! FLAC means free loss less audio codec. So, this zip enables us to play flac files which we do not generally use.

So it means that flac file will allow to play other type of music files?
And have you guys notice that music player strugles with songs that are over 128kbs? Does it happens to everyone or its just me?

Flac will allow you to play flac files. It´s a lossless compression format for audio. Google is your friend.

I know it is a nexus q blog post, but it works... To test, I switched my flyer from onexxl (ICS port) to honeycomb (Senseless). Onexxl was a bit too laggy for xbmc.... Side note: Damn xbmc is a memory hog.

A couple bugs. Xbmc does not yet use the native device sound profile, so be sure to volume up before opening the app.
I don't know if this is an app issue or rom issue, but switching away from xbmc and back (like to increase system volume) will crash it.
Audio... 5.1 does not work. Either you will need to transcode your videos to a mobile profile or some other method. 2.0 is iffy. It could just be how my vids are transcoded, idk. Mileage may vary.
The default skin works as a touch interface, though I would recommend installing one that is a bit more touch friendly. It comes with a second skin is one that is touch friendly. Fyi, you can install skins in app just like with xbmc on other platforms.
Other than that, it works just as xbmc should... With no need for a server program. It picked up both the smb and upnp shares on my media server.
Haven't tested plugins yet, but will soon.
Addons/plugins install fine

this is a real nice find. started playing with it yesterday. Once you get the hang of how to add all the plug ins it has allot of potential. Using the 1 channel plug in for example I was able to get to new tv shows with little effort. Audio on streams is choppy though, I have not attempted to connect to tv through MHL as of yet. If you are a sports fan the first row sports plug in is nice. It is a real resource hog when running, but to be honest you are not multitasking when using it. There is a thread for this in the android general section where the op has posted a more recent compiled version. Hope this continues to move forward, for those who like to stream this is a great app.

Definitely. The fact that it doesn't require external server software *cough*Plex*cough* is what seals it. My media is on a FreeNAS/NAS4free server, which Plex server doesn't support.
Installing add-ons is easy enough.
If installing via an external repo (ex. BlueCop), download via the tablets browser. Open XBMC, Settings > Addons > Install From Zip. Choose external storage, locate the repo zip, it installs.
From there, choose Get Add-Ons, find the category and click away....
I'll add the link to the General thread to the OP in a moment, thanks for the heads up

there is another way to get add-ons. .

by the way do you have any issue with Choppy sound when streaming video? I read somewhere that the sound has to be all the way up but have not tried it yet
Yes putting the in app volume to max fixes the sound. This app is going to be epic, until it is closed down

Yeah, I've had a problem with any movie on my server... Not just xbmc but any network streaming app (ex. UPnPlay)
All my vids are 5.1 or 7.1 (except for the odd tv show that came native 2.0)
No movie sound works proper for me... I have to wait for the weather to cool off some so I can fire up my gaming rig and re-transcode some test videos. Having it top 90* ambient in my home office with no computer on makes for one unhappy computer when it is. Office is a windowless room, so....

It could use a bit of cleaning up as it was originally designed for the ipad resolution. I have the graphic design skills of a rock, but can at least rework the skin to be a bit more friendly on our resolution. Maybe add a bit of Holo to it?

someone else played with xbmc with JellyBean on it?
suddenly it seems fonts are missing in some places, and it still takes 3 or 4 startups to have it running.
anyone else?
---------- Post added at 10:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:37 PM ----------
here are some more current editions , tested.
problem with left side menu, is fixed at least
look here
ok,
it works quite well on JellyBean, when first it has scanned all language files and crashed 2-3 times due to memory issues getting those files unpacked and ready. but then it works quite well from here.
very good replacement for flashbased players which we probably wont see on jellybean for much longer.
edit:
here is another one, and seems better and more stable. although this will never get h/w acceleration since its for xios DS player it works great.
try it from here build is from july 30.
Depends on what you mean by jellybean.... It works okay on my n7. Haven't found any missing functions/fonts. Haven't quite tested it on the jb flyer rom yet.
I don't use it much on my tablets anyway since I have an htpc.

correct, the new builds are great and in my _flyer_ case, its important since im unable to get h/w decoding like many other cm10 builds. so xbmc is a great alternative with support for many media functions.
lets just agree that native ota updates should be fine
This is a nice thread with good links. I'll follow this as I have an older XBMC on my Maxx that works fine. I've tested it on GB and Honeycomb devices and it wont start. I'm about to get a TF201 and plan to flash JB so this thread could prove very helpful.

Will any other system setting cause this problem ?

Strange problem...
If MX works with MicroSD unmounted, can you tell us MicroSD works with other apps such as album?
If saved pics in MicroSD can be accessed by albums and other apps, then it might be a good idea to uninstall the MX app, reboot and then try re-install.
Hard reset might be necessary if the above does not work.

Of course the Micro SD works well with other apps, such as Built-in movie player, album, Adobe reader and etc

Remember it not just Crash but it keeps Vibrating and nothings to see

I can understand your frustration.
I have long used MX as well, and value it very much.
I suggest you do a repair or complete dalvik wipe and reinstall your firmware.
I will do it without doubt, even though hassle if I were to have problems with MX... worth a shot.
BTW, you havn't fiddled with the build prop or changed anything with Xposed framework, have u?
Mx player doesn't work for me either. Not sure if linked to xposed framework.
BSplayer is very similar but works a treat
No problems at all.

Hey guys, picked up the V10 from T-Mobile a few days ago. Today I noticed that 1080p videos on YouTube constantly buffer, making them unwatchable. I ran a few speed tests, and am getting 80+mbps, so it shouldn't be bandwidth.
Edit: was trying to look through suggested threads and accidentally hit enter, which posted thread. Please close.
So, this isn't an issue?

It is absolutely an issue, but there we're other threads that might relate. It seems I'm the only one reporting an issue plaing 1080p Youtube videos however. Everyone else is reporting problems with 1440p, which I am also having trouble with.
So far I'm thinking it could be the youtube app, as the buffering issues don't persist if I load the videos through Youtube website via chrome.

I've had similar issues. Nothing plays at 60fps , the option was never available with youtube on this particular phone. If i try in desktop mode on Chrome it'll completely crash Chrome every time. Also 1440p continues to freeze the video on about 85%-90% of videos with the 1440p option. Overall lackluster video playback performance with many full hd videos online in comparison to several other similar phones. Not sure if a software fix will be sent any time soon to fix the problem. Disappointing glitch to have on such a neat phone.
I had the same problem until I uninstalled youtube updates, then it played fine. I was going to leave the older version un updated due to the smooth playback. But I realized my phone updated the youtube app on its own. Now it plays fine.

I saw this earlier and hadn't tried yet. If it worked for another it might just work and imply that youtube is at fault. Good find, trying now!
I thought it worked on one video I tried. It was smoother and played all the way through after I uninstalled updates from youtube app info.
But this vid still locks up on me at around 1:00min

I also downloaded and installed OGyoutube (which is an older modded youtube with option to download and convert to mp3, search Google for official downloads) which has an option to download in 2k. After downloading the 240mb file, I played it in the LG default video player and it was so smooth and even smoother than streaming 1080p video from youtube, so it has to be the app because the phone can handle the file no problem. Kinda blows but it is what it is..
Ya i tried uninstalling the update. Even wiped app data and rebooted. Still locks up same spot
Man am I glad I found this tread! I was having the same issue with You Tube buffering and it has been driving me insane!!! I was excited that I got gigabit internet so I wouldn't have any buffering, but I was wrong. I can't get any video to play without constant buffering (I was getting 200+mb down on wifi at the time). Uninstalling the updates fixed the issues I was having. I am still having issues with 1440 playback however, which is disappointing.
hey i'm having similar issues, tried to uninstall update, tried ogyoutube, still buffers anything 1080p and above. This only happens when im on my data, (t-mo 90+mb down) However, when im at home connected to my 50mb comcast wifi, no buffering even on 1440p. Any ideas?

I don't know. The last LG phone I had was the Nexus 5.

Lg is usually one of the first manufacturers to update their phones to the newest os. The carrier versions usually lag behind the unlocked models
Even using twitch app if someone has live feed at higher quality than 720p. The feed buffers like on youtube...... also uninstalling updates on YouTube does not work it still has the same problem with 1080p videos & 1440p videos

Mine works fine. I guess you are speaking for yourself.
Actually im not ...my girl has this same phone and has the same issue.....granted she could care less about watching it in hd streaming period...but with speeds like this....there should be no such thing as buffering here unless the Site or the app has problems and we know that isn't true if I can do it from a PC or from a PlayStation 4 console or tablet or Xbox one console

Nope. You're definitely not the only one having issues with youtube on this phone. The highest resolution settings on youtube seem to give this phone problems. 1080p has hiccups as though it's battling to play the video smooth. 1440p works maybe 10% to 15% of the time without freezing the vid ,while audio continues?? Weird. It just does not stream video as well as other smartphones with similar specs. It's very strange. Hopefully this future "software update" fixes this video stream issue. Id love my silky smooth video playback like I had on my G2
Dear All,
I am padfone s ww user with latest lollipop. When i use mxplayer to play video, most of the time it will use software decode. If hw is availabe, the beginning of the video will have a broken image for few seconds. In addition, when i use ds file to access my nas and ply video on the harddisc, it won't allow me to fast forward. Does anyone know how to enable hw+ on padfone s? It always said hw+ is not support. Anyway to get it works? Thx
Your Lollipop is the unmodified ROM from ASUS? Did you do SKU conversion (i.e. switch between TW and WW)? Your app is MX Player or MX Player Pro? The description in the Play store says that the Pro version is ad-free so I am guessing the functionality otherwise is the same. Mine also has ASUS' latest LP ROM loaded and I use MX Player Pro and this allows me to select HW+ decoder:

To get it to work I just install the app and launch and then open decoder settings and select HW+.
I used to own a New Padfone Infinity (A86) and with that phone neither HW nor HW+ decoders would work. It allowed me to select these but the playback was very choppy.

Thank you. I am on 12.2.2.43 official rom and hard reset has been made after rom upgrade. The phone is come with ww version and i never change it. Just using the free MXplayer. I selected the option as in your screen cap. I can play the movie as normal. Just when i see a moive, I see that it is using software decoding. In that case,movie play fine. Just wonder it will consume more battery. In some case, it allow me to use hw, as I mention, it has 2 second broken screen at the beginning and don't allow me to do fast forward even I move the time bar to the middle of the moive. It never allow me to choose hw+. I am on 1.8.4 beta. But tried 1.7.x and 1.8.6 beta but result is the same.
By the way, i am using the app ds file to access the file in my synology NAS. Don't know if it is a cause this problem.
When I'm watching a movie it shows HW+ switched on. I also have a DiskStation but I use DS Video for watching movies off it. In the screenshots attached here I am playing a movie directly from a microSD card inside the phone and another movie via DS Video.

Thx which version of mx player are u on? Which rom version u on? I do try open movie through DS Video but the result is the same. May be it time to surrender:crying:
I have MX Player Pro version 1.7.40 installed and the phone is running KK from ASUS ROM version 11.10.7.11.
This is the version that the phone came preloaded with and also the version I've found to be most stable with least bugs. I have tried LP and MM and haven't found them to be giving good enough new features to balance up for the greater number of problems that comes along.

I think my problem is caused by LP then . I did not aware that whether this issue exist before i upgrade. Thank you for your help these days.
Your problem may be something else. Today I played around with LP and MM, just to try these out for a few hours. HW+ decoder works in both in MX Player Pro.
But these ROMs are so bad - bitter and angry tears - a sigh of relief when I'm back on KK again.
I wish JB was available for the PFS. This was the best ROM on my previous Padfone, the NPFI.
