Just tested playing a 720p vid here on #033 and no issues.

I was still on Youtube 5.7.41, so I updated to the latest 5.9.0.13

and it still plays fine.

5.9.0.13 is the most recent update from the 9th of september though, and it seems for those having issues it started before that.

So it could also be that they fixed it in their latest version.

Make sure to test again with that latest version.

When you report: post the version of the Youtube app you're using.

as well as the video you're noticing the "stutters" with. So we all try to test the same things.

Also describe what you define as stutters. Is it that it freezes / buffers every few seconds, is it that the framerate is lower constantly and so on...

It could also be transient network issues between you and the youtube servers.

Heck it happens sometime with my provider here, but using a vpn to route differently just fixes that, so it's neither rom nor app related, more pipe sizing issues between my provider and youtube load balanced servers.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] edd080:
Hi Tim , I am also using the latest Youtube app (5.9.0.13) I usually watch machinima vids (such as this one here ) never had any issues on build 33 as I said before it just happened. I would get a freeze at the beginning of the vid whilst the audio would remain playing smoothly nearly throughout the whole video and I would get constant stutters if it manages to play.

The only way i sort of solved it is using nice foreground priorities and overclocking the cpu to 1600, (with Magissia's help) through performance profile app; the freeze at the beginning of the vid is much less now (a few seconds) and stutters are less frequent; but they are still there.

If I change the quality of youtube from 720p to 480 then the video is flawless and I experience no freezes or stutters.

Hope this helps and thanks for your interest in this matter Tim, hope you are ok :good:
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] timduru:
Yeah I have a few initial stutters with that vid at the beginning.

Just pausing it a few times to let it buffer enough, then resuming playing and it works fine though ?

That video is recent, so it could be that they changed the way they encode the 720p versions,

their new encoding could be more demanding and the TF101 cannot do both heavy networkbuffering and playing anymore or something.

I'm afraid we are kinda at the edges of the TF101 performances here....

Tested on the TF300T too and it works fine directly.

Do you remember of an old video that was playing fine before, if it's a new encoding setting that they are now using I don't think they'd have reencoded an old video, so you could try with an old video see if it still plays fine .

When I play some of my faved old 720p videos I don't have any stuttering on the TF101 here.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] edd080:
Yep tried an old vid and still have have the same issues :(
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jpmccarthy:
Maybe provide a link and a few of us can try it. I watch videos with skifta / mx without issue but that is admittedly different than youtube.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] edd080:
Sure these are old vids that I had alread watched without freezes or stutters: here ; here and here

They played without any issues, but I get the freeze and stutters now when trying to play them. It got better with the performance profile app..
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] xbs:
Started happening here too, changing YouTube quality to 480p from 720p fixed it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] edd080:
Could this mean Youtube changed something from their side then? as it is very strange that something like this happens out of nowhere, on the other hand tweaking my tablet with perofrmance profile seemed to help in some way.

played you tube from browser and app here no prob. at all

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] sheva_xan:
Today I had lags in a 480p YouTube video on my HTC one X. So it is a pretty high chance that this is YouTube's fault.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jpmccarthy:
I tried a couple of these as well - clicked the link, launched YT - they did stutter at first, but like Tim said I paused, waited t buffer a bit - then no issues.

I am OCed at 1500.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] edd080:
Getting the freezes and stutters again forcing me to watch at 480, it seems that the performance profile tweak did not work for me unfortunately :(

[MENTION=3491512]jpmccarthy[/MENTION] with performance profile the youtube app was oc'ed at 1600 and a nice foreground of - 10 however it did not work out for me, still having issues unless i play the vid at 480.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jesuita:
Hello.

Dont know it this is rom or device fault, but why can't we see the smilies on Google Hangouts?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] decatf:
I am a Galaxy Tab 10.1 user it's the Samsung equivalent of your device here. I'm posting here because I started having the Youtube video freeze problem last week and have been checking all the forums for people having this issue. In the last couple days there are more and more users on more devices describing a similar problem.

Do your devices show the same logcat messages when Youtube videos freeze? For me they spam up the log. I want to know if there are more definite signs of the same problem.

This is the video I tend to use as a comparison when testing Youtube playback: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUe3oVlxLSA

For me it freezes one or two seconds in and video does not play at all.

Also older versions of Youtube work fine for me. Specifically 5.0.21. I didn't not thoroughly check a lot of versions. But if they did change the encoding then maybe the older versions are still being served old encodes? It's a lot of guessing and speculation here.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jazzruby:
I'm just taking a stab at this, but is it possible 'Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP' (DASH) may be causing issuues?

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Duchman:
These issues have seemingly been manifested after a 480p option appeared in the quality settings. For me, they disappeared temporarily after I reinstalled the app, but now they are back. Tim is probably right - this can be connected to a possible change of how the videos are being encoded. I have scrolled through some reviews and looks like this problem isn't limited to our devices.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] edd080:
Seems to make sense too, when I choose to play the video at 480p the video plays without any issues.. [MENTION=4404851]decatf[/MENTION] the previous version of youtube is working perfectly in hd setting on thanks for your help.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jpmccarthy:

An update, despite of your health?

You're a magician :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Magissia:
Thanks [MENTION=3951330]timduru[/MENTION] for the update.

Could you tell if it would be too long/hard to make the shortcut feature able to be used with letters too ? (alt + ctrl + f for example)

By the way, are your special features available to the TF300T too ?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] timduru:
Yeah, health is unfortunately still far from being optimal,

but I can stay a bit in front of the computer now, so just a bit everyday and here you get an update ;)

Wouldn't be difficult to add a drop list with system code for letters (meaning that it will map to english qwerty layout)

My main problem with letters is that it is dependant on the language layout.

For example in french with azerty if you wanted to set a shortcut for A you would have to choose Q in the drop list.

I've added the quick search shortcuts recently though, so you can now map search key + letter to launch apps too.

Other way I was thinking about doing it is to make a generic "press the key you want to redefine" and enter a label for it and it would auto detect the underlying system key.

But that would take a bit more time

Yep, everything is available it's the same rom just compiled with neon.

Only some of the defaults are different (like the wallpaper is on by default since the TF300T has a JB compatible video HAL, so it doesn't require that kind of hacks)

But feature-wise it's the same than the TF101 version.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Magissia:
Mapping by pressing would be indeed the easiest way for the end user.

For the A to Q layout problem, can't it be fixed by a different stringtable to show for languages associated to AZERTY keyboards ? While it will be shown "Q" to most users, AZERTY users (french for example) would see "A" in this case if they set the device language to French. (Or is it as hard/long to catch the press key, meaning it's not worth it ?)

Thanks, may be worth upgrading if there's a correct price of a used one.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] timduru:
Yeah it's doable, but the thing is that you can also have multiple input physical keyboards and one keyboard can also have multiple layout defined and you can do live layout switching too.

So what am I supposed to display in the list based on which keyboard and which layout, that's getting complex and tricky ....

Yeah exactly I think that would be the best way, but I've not looked into that yet, not sure how long. It shouldn't be that bad.

Didn't really priotize that since I had added the search key + letters feature.

But I'll keep that in the todo list :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] MatteoB92:
However, I wish you a prompt healing, my friend :D
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] shonkin:
Absolutely stunning timing. I handed my TF101 (with some reluctance) off to my dear wife, because I just got a TF700t. She was bummed that her games such as Scrabble and Words with Friends didn't work. With this update, you've fixed those anomalies!! Dude, you are an amazing programmer and all I can do is say thank you again for a job WELL done. And hey, if you do a rom for the TF700t, I'm on it. Right now using Crombi-KK which is great except it doesn't have your whistles and bells (multi-windowing and the like). Blessings, my friend.

They have not released the full source yet, only GPL bits and pieces.

I'd say they might around end of October-ish.

I suspect there might be quite a few issues porting, with material design and such, I wonder if it won't require a specific Android L video HAL and such.

But we'll see when they release the source ...

I did my usual procedure of putting the hashes from the download sites in plain text files.

I named each with the filename+.md5

I copied them both to the microsd card with the zip files.

The files both flashed but TWRP said no md5 file detected.

I do this every time I flash with no actual md5 file provided, it usually works. I tried attaching the files, they would not load as attaches.

I attached a screenshot of both files open.

What did I do wrong?

Nice job Timduru, get better, don't overdo!

EDIT I did check each zip file against md5 so knew they were good.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] cecilyen:
The keyboard issue has been solved for recent batch of the keyboard. Also, the price of TF701 has lowered to less than $300 now.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] sidneyk:
You need some space after the hash then the exact filename.

[EDIT 9-14-14] I guess I was wrong. Seems you can have just the hash in there or you can include a file name. You might want to make sure you're using a non-Windows text editor or one such as notepad++ that can do linux line endings. I don't know if it matters or not with these .md5 files. I'm assuming you are putting both in the same directory also?

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] sidneyk:
You could also make a file on the device itself. As long as the filename is exactly the same as the .zip including the .zip, then it can end with .md5 or .md5sum and be usable in newer versions of twrp recovery.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] wilkster:
Maybe I lost the thread on this. I download the 034 zip and 034 md5 on the tablet, then rename the md5 from .zip.zip to .zip.md5 and it works every time. Twrp verifies the md5 against the .zip then installs.

Sent from my VS980 4G
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] wn1ytw:
Ah I see what you meant now wilkster! I'll try downloading but saw no place to download the md5 file this time, Thank you.

The wilkster method is fine if using a mirror site - so the subject is pretty much 'academic'!

\* MD5 checksums */

BusyBox md5sum applet can check/compare sums of an md5 signature file against the archive(s) and also check for properly formatted checksum lines

u0_a81@flo:/ $ md5sum --help
BusyBox v1.22.1 bionic (2014-06-22 23:11 +0200) multi-call binary.

Usage: md5sum [-c[sw]] [FILE]...

Print or check MD5 checksums

-c Check sums against list in FILEs
-s Don't output anything, status code shows success
-w Warn about improperly formatted checksum lines

u0_a81@flo:/ $

This can be used as quick check of your ZIP archive(s) before (re)booting into recovery

If you download your ZIP archive and MD5 sig file to [ /sdcard/Download ]

Then open/run Terminal Emulator and type the following:

md5sum -cw /sdcard/Download/*md5*

This will check the sums against the list in all MD5 signature files in the 'Download' directory.

If you have alot of ZIP archives/MD5 sig files you may want to change *md5* to the actual name of the sig file or you could rename older sig files by changing the extension, e.g. - md5 > txt

I know and agree, I just like seeing it pass the md5 check when I'm flashing. The separate md5 file on the microsd ensures there was no corruption between download and getting to the tf101..someday I should try torrent download to the 101. Until then I'll make sure I get the files from a mirror site that has both files. BTW this time I also did the torrent download and am one of the seeders now.

Can anyone help me. I have my own TF101 with this ROM for quite some time. A friend of mine asked me if I could set up a different tf101 for him if he bought one on eBay. I said yes and he did. Well now that I have the other tab he bought on eBay I have 2 problems. One is that it didn't come with the box and it has no serial number sticker on it. 2nd it has ICS with build number IML74K.US_epad-9.2.1.27-20120615. For some reason I can not get this thing to be recognized by my windows 7 x64 machine. It sees my tf101 fine and I can read and right both internal and external SD cards but it doesn't see the one my friend bought. Now I feel like an idiot because he is expecting me to be able to root and flash this awesome ROM on his tab and I cant get it to recognize it to even start the rooting process. Anyone here can offer a solution or point me in the right direction. I've googled my brains out and I am at a loss. I've tried flashing the .19 stock version of HC to then root and upgrade but it fails to flash the stock update. I hope someone can help me so he can enjoy this ROM as much as I do. PS. I am no novice at flashing but I cant figure this out.

I will try that this afternoon after work but to clarify, its not that I see an unknown device when I plug it in to the PC. The computer acts as if nothing happened when I plug it in. No hardware added sound, nothing new in device manager. Its not the cable or the usb port because as I said, my tf101 works perfectly in the same port with the same cable. I read online that this was a problem with ICS when trying to use traditional root methods. I am a computer tech but how would I change the drivers to the naked drivers if there is no device on device manager to update or uninstall the drivers? Should I use my TF101 to uninstall the drivers? I have a laptop with the 32 bit version of windows 7 that I can use.
