[Nook Color General] Matchay:
Hi!

I have been struggling with this topic for a few days now. Read most of the threads written here on this too. I know about the limitation of hardware accelleration, and understand it. I have created presets for Mediacoder (+CUDA) perfectly working so that I can quickly convert what I want to a video format being very well played by on nook with hw accelleration.

I am aware of the fact that videos encoded with xvid/divx can only be played with software decoders. It's been reported here such videos are pretty well handled by players like Rock-,Mobo-,YXplayer and so on; I assume nook's CPU has enough power not to have issues with ~620x350 XVid encoded video. Well, mine seems to have one.

I tried out a couple of different .avi's I have. Just one specific example:

an episode of some TV show:

Video: 310 MB, 1037 Kbps, 25.0 fps, 624*352 (16:9), XVID = XVID Mpeg-4

Audio: 38 MB, 130 Kbps, 48000 Hz, 2 channels, 0x55 = MPEG Layer-3

This one is being played fine even on my old PPC Axim 30 (Intel XScale PXA270 at 624MHzwith TCPMP), but with no means on the nook. Test results:

- RockPlayer -> slide show

- YXPlayer -> slide show

- YXPlayer Neon -> slide show

- MoboPlayer - almost the one. The only one which plays completely flawless video, but the sound is out of sync, about 1 sec behind the video

What am I missing/doing wrong? Such a file should be a walk in the park for a Cortex A8 at 800MHz, shoudlnt' it? Is it about me using a rooted stock nook? Would froyo did the trick?

Regards,

Maciej
[Nook Color General] Gin1212:
So you're on stock? Have you overclocked your setup? If so do you have governor set to Interactive and the Min. Cpu set to atleast 800mhz?
[Nook Color General] poofyhairguy:
Found your problem. I find that the nook can only do 24fps or 29.999999fps. You must be trying to play a European program. Re-encode in Handbrake and change the "Framerate" drop down box to the NTSC Video setting.

While you are at it, in Handbrake and all, you might as well re-encode using x264 to take advantage of the Nook's hardware decoding...
[Nook Color General] Matchay:
Generally? Or in terms of software divx/xvid playback? I re-encoded the file to H.264 WITHOUT changing the framerate and it works smoothly. For the hardware accel the framerate is not an issue.

I wonder what the problem could be: the sound isn't stuttering, the video is smooth, they are simply not synchronized. It cant be due to lack of power,can it?

Regards,

Maciej
[Nook Color General] razmajazz:
The NC supports hardware decoding of MPEG4 (i.e. Divx/Xvid) Simple Profile but it has to be in a MP4 rather than AVI container. Unfortunately MP3 audio is incompatible with MP4 containers so the typical AVI needs to have at least the audio re-encoded for hardware playback on the NC.

It's not unusual to have poorly muxed AVI files where the audio and video end up out of sync when re-encoded. I'm not sure about Mediacoder but Handbrake does not easily allow adjusting the audio offset to compensate for that. You might try aviDemux (open source) as it does allow adjustment of audio offset. Unfortunately, it's trial and error to figure out the proper offset. If your Divx file is MPEG4 SP then you could just set up aviDemux to copy the video, re-encode the audio to AAC and mux in an MP4 container with the appropriate audio offset.
[Nook Color General] poofyhairguy:
For me just software divx playback. My 25 fps files just never play well.

For x264 you can do any framerate up to 39 fps I think, as long as the bitrate is low enough. For me in Handbrake the magic number is a Constant quality of 22
[Nook Color General] Matchay:
@razmajazz

Sorry for the confusion. I have no issues with any x264 re-encoded file, as mentioned in my first post - my Mediacoder preset does its job perfectly.

I mean MoboPlayer plays the original Xvid video and audio very smoothly, they are simply out of sync, which doesn't look like a CPU power issue to me. As poofyhairguy said, it must be about the framerate and some incompability.

Re-encoding doesn't bother me, I only wanted to avoid it if possible for lower quality divx/xvid films. And the MoboPlayer seemed to be only an inch far away from the right solution.

I will do some testing in the afternoon.

Thanks,

Maciej

Are You playing videos on stock, rooted Nooks?

Or Froyo/CM7?
[Nook Color General] Matchay:
rooted stock
[Nook Color General] angel7000:
Try summer player, I tried many movies with that player and all seem to work well
[Nook Color General] Matchay:
Interestingly, Summer player plays all my files in fast forward mode :)
[Nook Color General] britoso:
DSP drivers/Hardware video decoding is critical for smooth playback.

I dont know why the CPU cannot do it fast enough. (software decoding)

Thats why I'm on nookie froyo :)

No sync issues or anything with normal res videos from the interweb, no recoding needed, any decent MPEG4 player plays smooth.
[Nook Color General] razmajazz:
Indeed I was confused. I thought both the original and re-encoded files had audio sync issues. As long as the video stream is MPEG4 SP, you may still just want to copy the video, re-encode the audio to AAC and mux in a MP4 container. It's pretty fast since you only have to convert the audio, you don't lose quality from re-encoding video and it plays back with hardware decoding on the NC.
[Nook Color General] Matchay:
Success!

Yesterday I ran nookie froyo from SD. MoboPlayer plays all files perfectly, no out of sync! It was that simple...

Thank you all for your suggestions!

Cheers,

Maciej
[Epic 4G General] KAPPAchino1919:
I am sorry If this is posted somewhere else I searched and found similar things but not exactly this and the answers on post did not fix the issue.

I am running Bonsai 4.0.0

When I try to play mp3 files or download ring-tones I keep getting error unsupported file type. I am transferring the mp3 from my computer. I also tried downloading directly from the phone. Still get the same error.

I was able to download mp3 directly to the phone by changing in "Astro file manager" allow downloads from internet. But still not able to download ring-tones. I was trying to download from myxer.

After changing this I still can not play mp3 or ringtones that I transfer from my computer.

[Samsung Mesmerize] bsbokc:
I hope this is in the right place if not I apologize. Anyways I was running AOSP v0.9 and this morning I turned off data to conserve battery life. After that my phone will only connect to 1x and it is always roaming. It seems to realize that it is supposed to be on USCC it even says USCC in the status bar. So I called customer service and they told me to do a *228 and from what I hear this is really bad for anyone running ASOP then I did it anyways and it connected me to verizon so I disconnected the call and am still stuck roaming and with no 3g. Then I decided to switch back to MIUI and I'm still having the same problems. Another weird note, if I set my network to automatic it kills my connection but if I put it on home only I am roaming. Any ideas guys.
[Samsung Mesmerize] JayRHamlin:
This is the same issue I posted earlier that I haven't resolved yet. I am getting the verizon thing when I dial *228 as well. It is really frustrating because the phone is virtually unusable for data now. Hopefully we get it figured out. I'll let you know if I come up with anything.
[Samsung Mesmerize] JayRHamlin:
OK so after doing some research, it looks like this issue can happen if you disable your data (using a toggle, such as the ones in the notification bars of some roms), and then flash a new rom or kernel or something with the data off. It looks like it wipes the APN? Anyone know if this sounds like what may be the issue or how we might go about fixing it?
[Samsung Mesmerize] bsbokc:
Well I just got off an hour long call with tech support they think it is an issue with the radio and want me to do an exchange since I bought it less than thirty days ago. So I don't know maybe I should just cancel this and get a new phone with a new carrier. Maybe something with 4g. But I love this phone so I don't know what I'm going to do. Keep me updated if you find a fix.

Swyped on my Mesmerize using XDA Premium App
[Samsung Mesmerize] add144:
Check the Showcase AOSP thread. I managed to find a little trick that fixed our phones suffering from the same issue. Its worth a shot on yours.
[Samsung Mesmerize] JayRHamlin:
Tried your method and nothing. Kind of running out of ideas here. Any radio/modem I should need would be in the ROM right? I have gone as far as to flash all the way back to DI14 and can't get this thing to work. Still can't figure out how it even happened in the first place.
[Samsung Mesmerize] bsbokc:
Well I figured it out for me anyways. Call US cellular and they will give you a new phone under warranty. I'm on mine now. It is back to 2.1 and stock but it works!
[Samsung Mesmerize] JayRHamlin:
Just got mine working about 10 minutes ago. Call USCC tech and they said that for some reason I was no longer "provisioned" for 3G service so they fixed it. I know our issues were a little different. Glad we're both up and running again. Now lets see if I can do something else to screw this up . . . . .
[Samsung Mesmerize] bsbokc:
Amen to that I spent 4 hours on the phone with them yesterday and they couldn't fix it. So the actually brought me a new phone to my work. I couldn't believe they would do something like that.
[Samsung Mesmerize] JayRHamlin:
Wow now that's service. I have to say US Cellular has hands down the best customer service I have ever had to deal with. Store, tech support, billing. Everything.
[Samsung Mesmerize] bsbokc:
Well it only took me about three hours I tried flashing a new kernel with an app I downloaded from the market can't remember the name but of course everything went to hell. Since I don't have a computer it took me 2 days to find one and get it flaked to stock in odin now my speaker doesn't work oh well maybe in another couple of days I can flag it again. Maybe I should just quit screwing worth it but it's just to much fun lol.
[Android Apps and Games] prodigyweb:
Not sure if this is the right place to ask this. However, I am wondering where someone can find reliable game developers. I am looking to make a few games and have been unable to find anyone worthwhile. So figured XDA would have an idea.

[G Tablet General] albright:
I really don't *get* android.

I put a bunch of mp3 files in a folder called "music" on sdcard2 (my

external micro sdcard - the one that goes in the slot on the side, OK).

I start either the music app or winamp and it says "no songs found" (or

the equivalent in winamp).

If I use a file manager to look at these files I can start them playing

in either winamp or music .... EXCEPT half the time some of the songs

don't play and I get a "this filetype not supported ..." (or something

to that effect).

I need some android clue about how this all works

TIA
[G Tablet General] flipovich:
Try either a capital M in the word Music (it's not Windows :-P ) or try putting it on your internal memory...some apps don't like running from SDCard for whatever reason and some apps don't mind it, so it's worth a try...

I use DoubleTwist to do everything media related on my tablet and phone and it works great...transfers/organizes just like iTunes but better, imo...good luck.
[G Tablet General] K J Rad:
The media scanner scans the entire filesystem for music, movies, etc. so it doesn't matter what the folder is named. The first scan (or scanning after a reboot) can take some time depending on a number of conditions (number of files...) so if you've just loaded the files they may not show up in your media players right away. You also might have a file called ".nomedia" in the root of your SD Card which prevents the media scanner from scanning the card which would prevent your media players from listing the files.

As for them not functioning when selected from a file manager... could be the files are corrupted. Perhaps they have an MP3 extension but are not really MP3's (other operating systems are more forgiving of this particular problem). Could be problems with the file system itself, which could also be causing the media scanner to fail.

Thanks in advance :)

EDIT: Or maybe increase its size?
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] cannothas:
I must agree with Rockeer, further noting that on my HTC Aria that the keyboard takes up so much screen that I cannot see what I am doing, and I cannot find any settings to change the UI without disabling predictive words (which I use heavily). I am hoping that there is an htc_ime keyboard that can be installed that works with CM7, but even changing the UI would be great!

Thanks in advance!
[Epic 4G General] s9ortner:
I was hoping that someone would be kind enough to make a stock deodexed ROM with CIQ removed or if that is even possible. Thanks in advance.
[Epic 4G General] p3dr0maz:
LOL, they really need to put a confirmation alert on the thanks button.

Any reason you prefer stock ROM over one of the powerhouse ROM's we have that already have it removed (a la Bonsai or SRF)?

Removing ICQ is not an easy task from what I hear. And I don't believe the current ROM development community would want to invest the time to do it. Not sure though, maybe it is easy.

I mean if you take it out. It's not even stock anymore. Since that's part of the stock ROM. Semantics, but you know what I mean.

Well to start I have been having this problem for a while. I had sprint send me a new phone yesterday because it was so bad that within a hour (after charging all night) I am down to 52%. New phone seems great then I unrevoke and put dark cocoa 3 on it and put my old apps on my phone again. Charge and go to sleep.wake up and problem is persisting badly! I flash to king cocoa and try only putting a few apps on that I know never drained my battery like it has since this problem started. Charge back to full and unplug and by the time I write this I'm down to 78%. I've tried some net archy kernals and still my problem persist! You should also know that I've tried many other roms on old phone and still didn't help my problem! Please say someone knows what's wrong! Thank you all
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fabs109:
Also read this in netarchy kernal thread but I don't know for sure if it will help but i'm going to have to try it. But does it mean its going to make my phone slower?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Greenfieldan:
I would recommend trying the PRL downgrade. HOWEVER, your problem might be restoring various apps. Try doing a CLEAN install of a ROM that has great battery life (such as Myn's) and see if that helps. Restoring apps, your PRL, a kernel, or the ROM may be disagreeing with your phone (or some combination of them). You need to check them out :)
