Steam Link on 8.4 M5 (SHT-W09) - Huawei MediaPad M5 Questions & Answers

Has anyone tried the "Steam Link" app on the M5? I gave it a go last night and had no success whatsoever. The app detected Steam running on my PC and the network test was successful. I launched a fairly low resource game (Alien v Predator Classic) and went back to the Steam Link app. I could vaguely make out an image on the tablet from the game, but the app pretty much froze. Buttons were unresponsive and I had to force close the app. I tried again with different games, but no joy.
Anyone tried "Steam Link" and had any success on our tablet?

It is a bit of a disaster, not sure if it's just Kirin 960 devices in general, but the decoder is what is causing the lag.. HEVC decode or H264 decode, it lags regardless.. same thing on my snapdragon phone and it's smooth as butter 1080p60fps.. the mediapad wont even do 480p 60fps without framdrops.. might be fixed in pie..

[Q] Sluggish FPS in official youtube app

Like the title says. Phenomenon is pretty structured: every 3 seconds I get a drop in achieved frame rate, followed by a catchup at above intended frame rate. Sound stays linear.
It is isolated to the app, as youtube videos play fluent in all my mobile browsers. I've even tried clocking down my CPU, and browser-based playback is still brilliant.
I'm on Huawei U8860 Honor (GB).
Been fighting this for weeks on and off, but since I learned how to play 720p in the app, I really want it to work.
Any help is appreciated. I've uninstalled and reinstalled everything, and it's symptomatic across different ROMs.

cant play video and any video related apps crash!

just ported in for the 32bit remix, everything works fine just i cant play any video content.
1) youtube apps auto close
2) load youtube from browser , no video
3) cant play video with mp4 format on mxplayer
4) twitch auto close
ps: when i create a new folder on desktop that folder cant open. NO reaction.
is it anything i did wrong when i ported in?
thanks if there is any help.:angel::crying::crying:
Same issuse here on Vaio VGN21.
I have the same issue with 64bit version on my MSI AE2400, which has an Amd Mobility 4670 video card. I assume that video playback is still a work in progress.
But overall i am quite pleased with the overall feel of Remix OS
oh I thought I was the only one xD having this problem too on my aging Toshiba... everything else works though (for the most part)
BSPlayer is the only video playing app I tried that works. A bit clunky but functional.
Yeah same here on my Asrock Ion 330. MXplayer just doesn't play any format and VLC just crashes or just flashes and close. BSPlayer is the only thing that will play but it's very laggy.
hmmm....whenever you post any problems, its mighty helpful if you take the trouble to mention your system specs....like your video, processor...
anyways, try the boot flags posted here:

I bypassed this video problem with Kodi, works really good, I would recommend to anyone...!
what is kodi?
i have the same issues on my 64 bit lenovo g550...
Sent from my remix pc using XDA Free mobile app
same issue here. Can't use Youtube.
Am using a Lenovo S10-2
Just go to settings - applications, open your video application and grant fullscreen mode. Then it should work.
Best, maris
Kodi is powerfull mediaplayer with a lot of addons to choose, just google it man and give a try...

try to upgrade your laptop power or boost the adapter because somethines the CPU processor need enough power to carry that, like wise increase the ram to at least 8GB

Lag and lost frames in youtube hdr

hello to all, greetings from Spain, I open this issue because since last Friday I am the new owner of lg v30, but I have a problem that I do not like at all, and I would like to know if the same thing happens to you too
on YouTube, I've put some videos of these shows to see the screen and others, and I noticed that the videos in 1080p60 are pretty lag, and quite annoying frame losses, like stoppages, (in one of Youtube videos, a demo of LG, a red car comes out, and happens to be next to the camera and the next frame is already 2 meters, I do not know if I explain) and I'm quite fussy about this issue, what I put the same video to 1080p also in a leeco le pro 3, and it looks fluidisimo, perfect .... why can this be? Someone else happens?
I do not know if you can put links, if you can please tell me and I'll post the video so you can try it if you can see it well
Another question, does your phone heat up? is that I notice it hotter than the leeco, as soon as I put some video like this 1080p60 gets tempered by the area of ​​the camera, I do not know if that is normal or not
Thank you very much and hopefully answer
Happens to me too. I also tested this on a Galaxy S8 and it has identically bad performance. It probably also happens on the Note 8. 1080p30 HDR runs fine though. I didn't notice any heating - maybe just slightly warm but could as well be from my hands. Was the other phone you tested HDR capable?
I don't know if I can help you at all, but perhaps if you fill in some blanks, others might.
1) What model phone do you own and what firmware are you on (stock, stock rooted, custom ROM, etc)? You can check your firmware under Settings.
2) Can you link us to a video that's giving you problems?

hello, thank you very much for answering
1) my phone is lg v30 h930, stock, just removed from the box without touching anything, and the software version is V21w-EUR-XX
2) this problem happens to me in all the videos that I play on YouTube 1080p60 HDR (if I put the same video in 720p60 HDR the problem improves a lot, it becomes almost imperceptible) but the problem is that youtube does not give the option to deactivate the hdr, so if the video has that option, it activates it
I give you some examples of the videos that I have tried and they are very annoying ( It does not let me put links because I have less than 10 messages, I put the description of the youtube thumbnail, the first videos come out )
on youtube put "lg oled demo ", and play the first video, which shows a teapot in the thumbnail, and the video that shows a butterfly in the thumbnail, both are 4k Hdr 60fps
the phone I have it all activated, the HDR, I have not activated any energy savings, this all to the maximum ... I do not know what can happen, I do not know if it is the snapdragon 835 problem that can not with so much demand .... Do you think that could be why?
I have a pocophone f1 my brother, and the same video runs smoothly, very very fluid, but does not allow HDR, but I do not want hdr only make it look fluid
I've also noticed a bit of lag in chrome, in firefox it's better to scroll
Do you think it will be solved in any way? is that if I'm not return it and buy another phone thinking, something like pocophone because they do not have that kind of budget : llorando:
thank you very much and I hope response
I just tested that first video you suggested (the one with the teapot thumbnail) and I had absolutely no issues with playback. No stutter or lag with either the video or audio.
It's perfectly smooth, and really a lovely video.
I'm not an expert on HDR (since I don't use this device to watch movies or TV shows via Netflix or any other service), but as far as I can tell, the HDR triggered properly.
I have HDR turned on Settings, of course, and it's my understanding that you can tell when HDR turns on (when you rotate to Landscape) because the white Youtube pause/play buttons (amongst others) get very bright compared to Portrait view (which is supposed to disable HDR).
I also have never had any issues with Chrome. But I don't use FireFox, so I can't really compare the two.
I'm using an American open market US998 LG V30 on stock 20D (an old firmware from around June/July 2018), rooted.
I plan on updating my phone to the newest stock firmware one of these days, but haven't gotten around to it.
I have no idea what's going on with your phone. I understand it's new.
Maybe try checking to see if there's an OTA firmware update ready for you to install? (You might be running system software even older than mine, with a flawed HDR implementation).
Maybe there are some bloatware apps that came with your phone that are impacting performance.
Perhaps a factory reset could help?
I'm sorry I can't be of more help.
Que tengas buena suerte.
When i Am on STOCK ROM there is stutter and lag..
Install A CUSTOM ROM (tested on dot os) The colors still look vivid and plays smooth!! Absolutely no lag
I have had this issue since I first took my V30 out the box. Have the latest update for stock ROM/ VS996/Verizon. I gave up trying to troubleshoot this issue.
im using vanced as default YouTube app. it has an option to enable VP9 codec, that'll make your playback smoother even at 1440p60fps. But it kill HDR (but the color still the same tho). Shame, that V30 couldn't play HDR, because this phone is one of YouTube Signature Devices https://devicereport.youtube.com/phones/lg_v30.
Update: When I play that "lg oled demo" video, it doesn't stutter, I don't notice any of them. But when play "peru hdr" it stutter a lot. I'm using H932 latest stock. Try to activate that VP9 codec if you don't want HDR after all. Also, I don't use Chrome anymore, I disable it and using others. try Kiwi or Brave both are chromium based if you prefer chrome-like interface. If Firefox feels better so stick with it.
Just turn off hdr in display settings, every lg v30 has this problem. I think it's because hw decoder cannot keep up so this problem applies to every snapdragon 835 phone. Hw is capable of 1080p30fps HDR in vp9, 1080p60fps HDR is on the limit and can drop frames. HDR is gimmick for me, it is not well implemented. The quality is much worse than normal videos. For me bigger problem is that oled screen cannot reproduce dark colors because of low uniformity when pixels are barerly turned on and very slow response time in that matter too but that's for another topic.

[Q] Problem to watch videos on the tablet.

I bought this tablet a few days ago (already knowing that it is from 2011 and that I would have to make some adjustments to it). I have already tested some custom roms and the most stable so far (but not perfect) has been aop 7.1.2. But I noticed a problem that I'm facing in all custom roms, I think even in stock 4.0.4 this also happens: I can't open newer videos (mp4, mkv, 1080,720p, I didn't test all formats, but when I open these files only play the audio and the video is not displayed). I've looked at various topics talking about this issue and the use of video players like kodi, mx player, etc. But the problem is not solved. If the problem is driver or custom rom, can anyone recommend me one that is more stable and is running videos normally?
Hello,
I got exactly the same problem on the same tablet (mkv playing only audio and no video on all players I tried with the Galaxy tab 10.1 from 2011 under stock Android 4)
I did not try other roms for now but if you find a solution I would be pleased to get your feedback!
Thank you
Florian
The problem lies on two factors: the first is the absolutely old drivers which are closed source and, according to the developer that stills cares about this tablet, impossible to update/reverse engineering. The second issue is the tegra2 processor itself which is basically unsupported by any modern app (Google ones, for example).
After that, you also has to take into account that modern HD content has higher bitrates than a few years back making it harder for the tablet, that wasn't that great at it in the first place, struggle even more at playing videos.
Thanks!
Crystal clear! Thanks for the answer!

I'm running the same AOSP 7.1.2 ROM but in my case, the sound is not in sync with the video. Weird. Now, using this tablet as picture viewer only.

Question Whatsapp choppy video

Hi,
Since I bought GT 2 PRO global version (RMX3301) 2 months ago, I have an issue with sending videos (recorded from the main camera) as videos playback get choppy after being processed by whatsapp.
latest updates did not solve the issue.
However, if I record and send videos directly from whatsapp, the playback is smooth.
Anyone faces the same problem? Any fixes?
Exact same issue here, have been trying every different setting etc and nothing working.
Same here. Gdpr version
Sorry, I posted a fix I thought works but doesn't ...
If you change video options to 4k, 30-60 fps, it´s must work for you.
Is better ,but no, not working
Same problem
try turning of hevc (h265) video in setting, alternatively cut the video shorter using the editor and use the new video
same problem here. Just found out the culprit. if you download the video to computer and try to read the FPS, it always using weird number, like 28.97, 29.41, 29,33 fps. I guess that what really make whatsapp compression failed, it tried to upscale the frame rate to 30 fps but because the FPS never have constant rate, the output get choppy.
I tried using Gcam, and works perfectly, because Gcam always produce 30 fps video.
Realme should fix this bug
To solve this inconvenience (it happens in several mobiles that are not Samsung and Iphone), you must use the "VenLow" application (I suggest downloading the premium app from google) and that's it, the same application indicates how to use it and you can also watch videos on youtube. Greetings People from Chile.
Just noticed that problem was solved already
