i didn't experience any lag watching 720p movie the other day. my tab is OC'd to 1,5ghz though which could be playing a part.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Shadey1:
ICS & OC to get it to play then...

Argh decisions lol

EDIT:

It's like they taunt me, the 3g is available off contract for an extra £100.

£380 v £480 (GBP). I can get maybe 10% off with a little luck. or for our US friends $600 v $760

Actually I lie, utilising Comets we'll match X policy I could in theory get the 3g for £420 and then the 10% off if you buy comet vouchers via EDF I can get I reckon another £40 off....£380 for the 3g version! Boom. Think I might make that call tomorrow...oh decisions. or the 3g using the same logic would be £315 ish.

EDIT 2:

It's the 7300/7310 we can get here...sigh.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Loccy:
Another Brit here.

Short version: DicePlayer plus ICS plus 1400 overclock = fine on 720p mkvs.

Anyone floundering around with other players isn't really getting the benefit of hardware acceleration, so isn't providing correct data (although I think BSPlayer has Tegra hardware accelerated).
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Shadey1:
See this tempts me more and more, I'm thinking wait a week and see what comes from MWC but from the early leaks I'm still leaning towards the 8.9 tab. Unless they have a 8.9 tab 2 with tegra 3 or something along those lines.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Riche101UK:
Hey Shadey1 Im in the UK I have the 7310 wifi only version, I've had it a week and love it the size is perfect as for HD it seems too be fine for me no problems.

But just too tempt you even more I got mine off ebay It was an American (Samsung) Refurb it looks and works just fine it cost only £279
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Shadey1:
Off the UK ebay site? Or from the US and with the import fees? Really wishing I'd bit the bullet and bought it when I was in the US a few months back, so much cheaper.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Riche101UK:
UK site

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SAMSUNG-G...s_eReaders&hash=item4ab48533cd#ht_3122wt_1107

the 8.9 is damn good for the size 10.1 is too big and 7" is too smal
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Shadey1:
Oooh I've been looking since I saw your post. £240 for 16gig, brilliant. £280 for 32 gig.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Riche101UK:
Glad I could help, since there is no sd card slot the 32 gig is worth it
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Shadey1:
Yeah I'm kinda leaning that way since I saw the price, though a huge amount of stuff would be streamed over my internal wifi so I could in theory survive with 16gig.

Lets see what MWC brings tomorrow and if not I think I'm ordering that one!

Thanks dude.

Well MWC seems to have been a rather weak showing from Sammy so far, think I'm gonna go for a ebay refurb and then get another one next year or two.

Now to make the final decisions...32 or 16 lol.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] apercool:
I have a 7310 and noticed a lot of choppiness if not more in HD playback, from reading this forum my understanding is that the ATT LTE version with Snapdragon processor is much better for HD playback. I was about to returm 7310 to Amazon and get the LTE version with Snapdragon 1.5Ghz but then it occurred to me (i may be wrong on this since i am new to this) Almost every player on Android market has a special codec for ARR 7 architecture, Tegra 2 is ARM 7, but the ATT LTE version Snapdragon is ARM 9, and i can't seem to find any codec pack for it, is anyone knows if ARM 7 codec packs will work on ARM 9? or it means that no player from the market can be used with the ATT LTE model?

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Robpollard:
Hi,

I recently bought a Tab 8.9 and was eager to watch my mkv@720p Series (Californication, HIMYM et cetera) on my tablet, streaming them from my Synology NAS. I am vastly disappointed by how HD content is handled and, googling around, encounter that everyone else seems to have similar issues.

I am NOT willing to convert any files, since I believe this should be a thing of the past. But even overclocking to 1.5 (x2) and playing the material from the tablet itself only results in a choppy (18-23 fps) playback. The best results I've been able to achieve with the bsplayer lite, altough I've tested about half a dozen players by now, most of them installing the specific tegra2 codec. From what I've read here, it should be better with ICS, but better isn't by far not enough for me.

Are there any solutions in sight? Is this a matter of codec implementing? I can't really imagine a dual core at 1.5 not being able to play 720p, at least not nowadays.

Edit: File Specs:

Galaxy Tab 8.9 P7310 WIFI 16GB with root, cwm + motley2 kernel, oc'd to 1.5 ghz @ performance (SetCPU),

Rom is TouchWiz with GoLauncher until a stable ICS is out, either from Galaxian Soup or CM.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] pseudoheld:
try dice player:

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.inisoft.mediaplayer.trial

i've tried almost all video players in the market and this one handles stuff the best.

with 720p i get a little bit of choppyness, but once the buffer reads ahead (maybe pause for a few seconds) its pretty smooth playing
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Shadey1:
I've ordered mine (Wifi Tegra one) off ebay.

Just waiting on it to arrive, I'm planning on ICS pretty much straight away followed by OC. I'll update when I know more.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Riche101UK:
Nice one mate am waiting till ics rims are more stable etc give me a shout when you get it got some good apps that u may like
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] poisike:
I don't watch a lot of movies myself, but i noticed one thing. You are using motley kernel with covernor set to performance. Motley kernel is optimized for interactive, so give that a try.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Robpollard:
I've tried this one before and it worked slightly worse thank bsplayer, but was among the best. Since the update it's working almost perfectly without noticeable lag - yay.

@poisike: Thanks a lot for the hint, I'll try that out asap. I'm positive that, with ics the issues will be gone, as development will have evolved further.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] sbtgn1:
preformance means that it is allways on the max

interactive means on demand.

What video converter program do you guys suggest for converting mkvs to mp4 for the Galaxy Tab 8.9 (snapdragon cpu) ?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Shadey1:
I don't intend to convert, going to get it ICS'd and OC'd then hopefully no issues!

DVD's I've digitsed myself have been done with a combo of anyDVD and then handbrake.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] dicabkl:
I have 7310 WIFI only, but I have no problem watching HD on it. It depends how it`s encoded, but I can guarantee you that everything works perfect! The best option for me (between 7 and 10.1)!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Brendo:
I've got the 7310 (ics/oc1.5), but dissapointed with video (depends on file type). Plays a little bit better with ics. I think part of the problem may be the actual programs (it all feels like how it used to be on the sgs2 - took a lttle while for all files to start playing smoothly). Give it time and hopefully will start working better

diceplayer

720mkv ok

720avi lag

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Shadey1:
So far with Dice 720 seems fine for MKV, though streaming from my media server I'm seeing some lag. need to play around with it though.

Only 1080 I tried was an insanely quality rip of Game of Thrones and it wouldn't even load it streaming at 1080.

I'll keep playing around and see what I get.

SD works fine streaming it over wifi.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Robpollard:
With ICS @ Galaxian Soup Beta 1.51, 720p MKV are playing fine finally. Set to 'interactive' & OC'd to 1.4, the files streamed via Wifi from my NAS (via BubbleUPnP & with Diceplayer/BSPlayer) are working. I'm expecting further improvements as the mods progress and the codecs get improved.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Loccy:
I seem to do much better over wifi if I stream from an http server. Anything involving SAMBA is mostly OK but I do seem to get more lag. I've just installed Apache on my media server and pointed its home directory at my content. This seems to be the most reliable way to get media off of the server.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] teomor:
I have the stock ROM on it (WiFi only version with Tegra 2) and 720p MKVs do work (although with a tiny bit of lag) but I've only managed to get them working with VPlayer which downloads the ARM v7 hardware codec automatically. MX Video Player, which was my favorite player, doesn't want to play them (except in SW mode which isn't watchable).

I also tried some 1080p MKVs (no idea if high profile or not) but could only get the sound out of them.

I really hope ICS will fix something!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] safir187:
MX Player works fine for me (i've installed the arm v7 coded)

i also tried bs player and that's great too.

720p (all formats) just fine

1080p (mkv) lag (haven't tried other formats but i'd probably get better results)

rom overcome 2.3.1

no oc
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] teomor:
Right. So the hardware isn't the issue, it's the software.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] gligi:
so i am not sure what has overclocking to do with the playback smoothness? the tegra chip should hardware encode the movies.

I must try the latest galaxian soup, but in the past i was not able to play most of my tv shows (Web-DL, Blue-Ray) without issues. Regardless of the player used.

High Profile is a issue (720p). I think tegra (or whatever is very limited on supported profiles). Mostly i ended reencoding my tv shows which is actually wrong ;)

I bought ipad 3 for my wife and i am considering going back to ipad myself (not only because of movies). It plays 1080p without problems. Jaibreak + xbmc works like a charm (for ipad 2, so it will work much better on ipad 3).

it is only the size of the galaxy tab that keeps me away from throwing it out of the window.:rolleyes:

Lol this is a thread you don't see often. But I need a lucky few who are running on the latest H-boot (1.45.....the one that says ****locked**** at the top) who are S-on and not rooted.

Now where you guys come in, is I need to test if the misc_version.sh used here with a little tweaking will work for our device. The misc_version.sh changes some parameters in the Bootloader so that it is able to be upgraded.

From what I understand, the Flyer/EVO View's USB port doesn't output enough power to carry USB devices by themselves. You'll have to use a powered USB hub to connect that controller adapter. I have a Motorola Xoom Camera Kit ( basically a male MicroUSB -> Female USB adapter) and I can't get the Flyer to recognize anything, even an externally powered USB HDD, but it could also be the file system on it.

I gaurantee if you tested EI22 vs EL30 flashing each for one day then flashing to the other the next day and back and forth and so on, for let's say 10 days, you'd get varying results for both, because the modem isn't the variable. Just sayin.

Seems to be for me. I test them on an Airave...like having a tower next to your phone. EL30 comes up about 300 kbs short over EI22 the 3 times I tested it. It is consistent.
