Hi,
when I watch videos on my M5PRO (OS version .151) the audio is slightly off.
I have experienced this within the Netflix app (with downloaded videos) and with the MX Player app, also with videos that are stored locally. All is stored on the onboard storage, I have no SD-Card in there.
Any one else has this?
Thanks,
Frank
Are you listening to audio via bluetooth? If so, that could be an issue with bluetooth, which seems to be a little bit buggy for a lot of us. You could try toggling bluetooth off and back on again, if that is the case.

I've been looking for the best way to transcode and stream video from my file server to my Nook Color. (using handbrake to encode video for local playback works great... but until they sell 5 TB sdhc cards that's not going to cut it )
VLC Stream and Convert works (for every kind of file I've thrown at it... which is no surprise, VLC can handle anything pretty much).. but I haven't been satisfied with the quality. (and I've played with the h265 settings quite a bit). Does anyone have recommended settings for this app?
Also, I have Tversity... but I can't get it to work for all my videos yet.... Has anyone successfully configured Tversity to work with their Nook Color?
Are there any other solutions for this that anyone might recommend?
Thanks
Ive gotten PS3 media server to work with the nook. Its pretty similar to Tvsertity. Install UPnPlay on your Nook and try to access your Tvsertity server. It'll forward the stream to your player of choice (Rock player, etc.)
Only issue I've noticed is with files > 1gb.
has anyone tried twonky? i use it on my epic to stream from my server to phone... it will browse shared files on network and playthem.. or vise versa it can stream from phone to network... next time i have a nook here i can try it myself, but it is a free app so might be worth a shot to see if it will install and run on nook.

Subsonic is quite good. It allows you to stream music and videos, however it requires flash to stream videos so I'm not sure how well it works on CM7. It is also not free.
VLC Convert and Stream is the only program I've found that will stream all of the file types I have on my computer. Everything else you'll have to transcode non compatible files first, which may not actually be that bad if you have plenty of storage space and/or you only have a few files that need to be transcoded.
I have my convert and stream playback on phone settings set to 480 width with highest bitrate selected (I don't have pro version, I think you can get up to 640 width with that) and playback settings set to fit to screen so that the videos expand out. I get a few artifacts here and there but the quality is pretty good considering it's over wireless. Biggest problem I had was getting the sound sync'd up, that required some playing around with the delay settings as it was pretty far off at first. Do you have the pro version? That allows higher resolution and possibly higher bitrate (but I'm unsure on the bitrate). When I watched 720p source videos, it looked pretty good.

Thanks - downloading it from the app store now. I have 2.3.3 running (CM7). I will let you know how it goes. So far nothing else I've tried has worked ;(
I love this app. It works well over home WIFI, but for the life of me I cant get it to connect outside of my home network.
What port forwading settings would I add to get this to work? Wouldnt the rest be the same since at home I use internal IP, outside of home I use external IP? Then forward external IP to the internal one previously set up? Kind of new at this, I've set up live streams before, but cant remember and troubleshoot this properly.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Edit 2: I have followed the directions for VPN and 3G methods but for some reason it wont connect.
Edit 3: Got it working, was missing a single digit in one of my forwards.
I recently tried Plex. That is an exciting app. I love the interface.
The only issue is that even though the streaming works, when I used it over my wifi the playback was laggy (even with overclock). I tried changing the settings and lowering the quality, but it still lagged.

I noticed this with Plex as well. I already use it on my Galaxy S and it plays beautifully, but the NC seems to lag no matter what.
HOWEVER, the same video played over subsonic at maximum quality (Transcoded as .flv and embedded in the browser as a flash video) plays surprisingly well.
Any more knowledgeable members know why that is? I can't seem to figure out why.
I watch 720p mkvs transcoded over 3g running cm7 on my nc with no problems using subsonic. Best option I have found. Server is on a ubuntu 10 machine.

I've been able to use Skifta with RockPlayer or Vplayer to stream from my Windows 7 box (since DLNA is built in). You need a separate video player app in CM7 currently since most codecs have been removed until they get DSP working.

Skifta worked for me first time!
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction
Qloud Media has worked well for me. It's extremely simple to set up.

For dlna streaming on my phone i use imediashare and it works perfectly so maybe give it a try on the nook color.
So I finally learned how to use NVFlash to get my device back to stock. Then I learned how to install Clockworkmod. Then I installed Vegan, after coming from TNT Lite. And overall I'm pretty happy. Except for the fact that nothing really seems to work
So here is what I need right now for my GTab to be of use to me in order of importance:
1) Streaming Audio from Shoutcast and bluetooth pairing to bluetooth speakers. Yes, I want this tablet to be my "Patio Media Player" and I'd like to get sound out to my bluetooth speakers. Alternatively I'd settle for streaming MP3's from my own PC where the mp3's reside.
2) Streaming video from Netflix, which I understand is in its infancy.
3) Streaming video from my home LAN, so it works like Air Video player. I'd spend $5 bucks on the PLEX application if it actually worked......does anyone know if it does, or is there a free solution to stream video.
Using Vegan, I can't get any of this to work. Winamp wont stream shoutcast, another app I tried just kept telling me "Broken Pipes" and so forth, no music was the result.
I can convert videos in handbrake so they play but thats not my ultimate goal, I want this device to stream music and at some point video.......can anyone help?
#2 -- there's a hack to get this to work, but it's not perfect. There is color banding issues, and I've heard that the fix also breaks the YouTube app. So it's an optional install, if needed.
#3 -- you'd want CIFS support. I though VEGAn had that buillt-in, but it's been so long I honestly don't remember anymore. The last major VEGAn update was early January, so keep that in mind. And the three guys who worked on it no longer update it (myself included).
Sorry for the n00bishness, whats CIFS? (Yes, I will Google). *Googled*
Also, since you didn't comment on #1, and you are probably the GTab Guru of Guru's, does this mean I'm SOL for doing something as simple as streaming internet audio?
Nah, I'm not the guru of guru's -- I just know a few things so I wanted to pass on what I did know. I didn't respond on #1 because I don't have an answer for that ( I don't stream audio and I don't have a BT headset).
As for CIFS, it's SMB (Windows file sharing). If memory serves, VEGAn has that built in, you just need to get CIFSManager from the market and change the settings so that the support is loaded as a module. If you get this working, then you can mount a share onto the device as a mount point, and then run the content from there. There's probably quite a few threads on this, as CIFS was something that a lot of us wanted, early on.
Well in case you ever want to, I did find that the current version of DoubleTwist streams Shoutcast! streams just dandy and I now have a backyard streaming audio solution for my patio with some paired BT speakers
Now to find your hack on how to get netflix working on Vegan..

Just in case you don't see my reply on the other thread:
Give TuneIn Radio a shot, I think you may prefer it. I have yet to have a problem with it. It gives me shoutcast along with Internet Radio and probably much more. I have it running almost 24X7. It has a great desktop widget too.
It has been downloaded twice as much as Doubletwist and can record for you too. The pro version is only .99 compared to DT's $3.74
DT has also had quite a few complaints lately since latest update.
Hey thanks, I did miss that thread, and I will give it a download.
Now, the 64 dollar question: Are you doing any video streaming to your Gtab? Air Video Player is probably the defacto standard on the Ipad side of things, just install its server on your pc and, assuming your box has the horsepower to transcode video on the fly, it will basically play any video from any source and stream directly to the ipad/pod device of your choosing.
I am desperately seeking that solution for my Gtab. The best I have been able to do is this:
1) I seem to be able to stream any xvid of DVD-ish resolution just fine.
2) I seem to be able to stream WMV files at 720p just fine
3) I don't seem to be able to stream anything else just fine...
I can re-encode using HANDBRAKE and transfer to the GTAB but that defeats the purpose of streaming media.
Any thoughts? I heard there was a new app out that does a similar style of streaming for both Ipad and Android, but no idea if it works with the Gtab or not. I'm currently running Vegan 5.1.1.
I have enjoyed using AudioGalaxy for streaming music from my home computer library to my tablet. Tons of music accessible with no tablet storage use.
I checked out TuneIn......its a very slick interface, with one problem: It doesn't appear to be giving me any Shoutcast stations. Its giving me some major stations, its giving me local radio....but I can't get, for example, some crazy German trance station.
When I search the list of stations that comes back appears to be quite limited, also there doesn't appear to be a way to limit the minimum bandwidth (I don't want to see 64kbps mp3 streams in my search results).....actually, now that I think about it, I'm not sure i can search?
Anyhow, what am I missing....?
Just got the S3 couple days ago and I have a problem with WIFI Streaming at home.
Previously, I have been using the Transformer to stream large video files over wifi without having any issues.
On the S3, I have tried ES File, and File manager to stream videos and transfer files that are over 500MB. Streaming stopped at various times and transferring large files always stopped at some point and eventually crashed the transfer. I don't know what's the issue is and WIFI seems to be stable and I never had an issue in regards to losing connection.
When the video is played, it would load to certain point, and then when the video reached that point, it would stopped.
This happened on MX Player and the default video player.
No problem at all when the same video is played from internal memory.
Transferring and streaming small files such as MP3 seems to be ok.
WIFI is set to always on during sleep.
I even tried to *#0011# method to turn off WIFI power save mode.
Anyone knows what the issue is?
THANK YOU!
Anyone able to help?
Can someone please help? Thank you!!
Same video streaming issues. problem details.
Hi.
I'm just a week into Android OS but have good knowledge of Windows and networks.
I bought a Sammy 7" Tab 2 (ICS) last week and liked it so much, I gave it to my wife and got a Samsung 7.7 (Honeycomb). So, I have both OS's to play with. Both are WiFi only. Both have the same problem.
I have a large collection of old movies & tv (w/o DMR) on my W7 desktop's hard drives. I can copy the files via USB or over WiFi using "ES File explorer" with no problems. Once the files are on the tablets local drives, xvid, avi, wmv, mkv, and mp4 all play perfectly.
If I stream the video, using "ES File explorer", wmv and mp4 files play fine, but the other formats don't. I've tried Mobo and 2 other players with the same results. Most of my library is in xvid format. I can covert them, but that's a nutty solution.
Anyone have the same problem? Better yet, understand why and have a solution?
Richard
I know this isn't device specific but I can't easily find a good solution through google.
Bit of a background.
I use Media Center for my main TV and movie watching through a media PC and projector.
But for music I use itunes because my car stereo only supports apple stuff (apart from controlling my phone as a generic bluetooth device) so i moved my music to itunes.... Yep still not that happy about that.
So for music sync to my android devices I use isyncr which works well over wifi. Happy with the control it has. But its not good for my video that I watch in Media Center (or effectively media player I believe as they are the same family).
I have tried Media players sync but not overly impressed. It wants to convert all video and I can't seem to find how to stop it reducing the quality so much. I have created autoplaylists for my video which gets the later video files and the later recorded TV. So happy with the autoplaylist I think.......
Is there anything that will sync media playlists well? Even better if its over wifi.
I don't particularly like airsync (doubletwist) as its very limited for video. I paid for it but have barely used it. I can't seem to selectively choose what to sync. And it appears to only see itunes video which I don't use.
Any suggestions???
I hope for the following;
- Sync only the latest video and/or recordings in media center
- Limit the space videos will take up
- Preference over wifi but not essential
Thanks, Peter.
Well I've started using MediaMonkey which does syncing with reasonable autoplaylists, does it wirelessly if the latest beta is down downloaded, and can limit the space the play list takes up... Although to make more advanced play lists requires to purchase the pro version on my pc but I just grinned and bared it. Also ended up changing my music/itunes sync over to it on my tablet. Have left the phone as isyncr because it integrates little better with iTunes.
So overall happy now after a lot of searching. Doubletwist was just too basic for video. And Much better than using media player that's for sure. But it's still not perfect. The play count not working for media center being one area that's not perfect. But that's more media center I think.
plex will do it, but i believe the feature is still in beta and require a plexpass (paid) subscription.
I have a problem with music streaming through Wimp or Qobuz - everything what is streamed through those has a micro stutterings every few seconds. Same on normal or flac quality setting. You can even download those files, go offline and it will still be the same. It is not like skipping what we know from CDs and portable players, it is something smaller and less noticable, but still noticable. You can compare it with moving a little 3.5mm jack when it's not right connected in place, but it is happening aswell on phone speakers. Streaming on PC is perfect thou.
Can someone please check how it works by you guys? I'm mostly interested in stock roms 4.3/4.4, becouse I think it can be kernel/rom issue. I have now Carbon KitKat - Togari with pimped kernel, didn't stream before so I can't tell where lies the problem. Big Thanks for help, as it is kinda important for me to fix this issue and be able to enjoy streamed (lossless) music.
edit. I think it has something to do with phone false decoding the stream and polluting the output files...
