I seem to be getting an audio sync issue with most of my movie playbacks on my N2 either with stock player or the MXplayer, these videos play fine on a Galaxy S2 though, I have the latest updates (stock), is there anything worth trying?

After further testing, almost all of my movies/series are affected unless I switch to S/W mode under MX player. So this happens like 10-15mins of continuous playing, not out right.. Im guessing this has something to do with the HW acceleration on the Note 2 or JB since the S2 I tested it with has zero issues. Infact some movies I've watched on my S2 and Note1 have sync issues on the N2.

Hi again guys,
I understand by the MX player FAQ [sorry I can't post external links because I'm new],
Q: I'm using a Tegra 3 device. It randomly quits playing and returns to video list.
A: It is a known problem of Tegra 3 devices running Android 4.0. It typically happens with S/W decoder, so please use H/W decoder whenever possible.

that Tegra 3 devices experiences the aforementioned problem, probably something to do with software decoding (video playing just randomly stops, but probably more on software than hardware decoding). This problem happens on both VPlayer and MX player. I noticed that this problem seems to affect .avi files only, and on hardware decoding-only players like Diceplayer, there isn't this random stop problem. But I don't really prefer Diceplayer because it has choppy playback as compared to MX or VPlayer.
Question: Does this have something to do with the (quite) recent 4.04 OTA update? I never experienced this problem prior to the OTA. Does anyone experience something similar? Thanks!
diceplayer works fine, even with 1080p videos, and perfectly smooth playback.
are you sure it isn't just a problem with the way your videos have been encoded?
btw if you tap and hold on the video (when in diceplayer) and then 'select player' then software player, and it will disable the hardware encoding (temporarily)
Hi all,
I recently rooted my one x and then decided it wasnt what I wanted so I locked the bootloader and flashed back to the stock rom 1.28 on Three UK.
After that I received an OTA update and since then my videos crash in any media player. I hear that by flashing the boot_signed.img it could fix my problems but I dont know which version to use or where to get it.
I am currently on version 2.17.771.3 after the OTA on H3G.
Can anyone help me please as I am about to throw the thing at the wall.
Thanks in advance,
I have the same problem since the latest OTA.
I have tried MX Player, Mobo Player, VLC.
It seems to happen at random - sometimes I can watch 20 mins without any problems, other times it will crash after 5 seconds.
The video playback stops and screen goes back to the player menu.
Seems to only happen on SW decoding?
Stock, unrooted 2.17.401.2

What kind of video file you have play? Record by device or what kind of format? Does this crash only happen in 3rd party player or even crash on stock media player in gallery. Thanks

Ive had this happen on avi, mkv, mp4 files.
All these files worked perfectly before the 2.17.401.2 update.
So far it does not seem to happen in the stock player, but the stock player does not play all of these files and has limited subtitle support.
I have not tried recorded video files yet.
If you look at the review section on the play store for MX Player and Mobo Player, there seems to be many HOX owners with this problem.
might just be some optimization issues as Ive now tried BS Player and it seems to work well so far.
Hello everyone, I remember playing videos without any sort of problem before turning my galaxy nexus in to the support service for a motherboard replacement (it wouldn't turn on no more).
When I got it back I noticed that I was having issues with playing youtube videos (sometimes the video frame would just stay back until the next reboot) and I am now having issues with playing any kind of video file with any video player (I've tried VLC, MX player, BS Player and DicePlayer). They all work if I select the S/W decoder but as soon as I switch to HW or HW+ decoding the video player I am using at that time hangs until OS asks me to kill/wait for the application after a while.
I've tried several kernels and different ROMs but nothing really changed. I've also tried to enable/disable the Force GPU rendering option in the dev settings. I am currently using AOSPA 3.15 with Trinity A3.
Anyone knows what's happening? Could this be happening due to faulty hardware?
Small update: I reverted to the 4.2.2 google stock rom after formatting my whole SD and the issue still persists even after this.
If it works with S/W what's the issue? Why force the hardware to play when it obviously can't?
It stutters, consumes much more battery, YouTube videos don't work and galaxy nexus phones are supposed to reproduce video by hw decoding.

By installing so many players i bet you installed codecs along with , that are not necessary. Fully flash to stock via Odin... If persists its hardware.

How is the Netflix playback on this unit? Does it have 1080p playback like the Nexus 7? Any sync issues with sound? Does it look great?
I'm asking this as I recently bought the Xperia Tablet Z and it has quite possibly the worst Netflix playback I've ever seen, especially for such a high end unit. My Nexus 7 or even my older IPad are miles better. It looks like I will be returning the Sony and perhaps ordering one of these.
Any other Netflix junkies here?

Cant get the sound and video to sync. Varies from right on, to half a sec lag or lead of sound throughout the movie. Very disappointing and annoying at the same time. Posted asking if anyone else had this issue but no replies...
This is true even after todays last OTA update. The video looks great - not sure about the resolution
I've had it intermittently. once when starting the office and then when playing Hatfield and McCoy's. exiting out each movie and restarting fixed it most of the time and other times just made it better but not perfect.the last two test just a few minutes ago played perfectly. I did install the latest ota yesterday so it could be that fixed it.
and for the op I can't say much about 1080p Netflix since I've lowered the stream in my prefs. my daughter plays Netflix all day and the highest throughput we can get out here is 6Mbps on a 150Gb limit. the week I gave my daughter her opacity a few Christmases ago she nearly used up all our bandwidth in 1 week!
1080p local videos are beautiful though!
I'm on the newest update and just tried The Avengers. Video quality is great (looks 1080 to me), sound syncs fine, but I did notice the video flickering a little within the first few minutes. Didn't appear for the rest of the movie.

Im also on the newest build, and i just added two movies avengers and transformers in HD to my queue, and played them and they seem to be working flawlessly, the sound is synced perfectly, no lag between movie and soundtrack. Quite pleased working better than the iPad. Lol
Can also verify - newest build. Netflix is working flawlessly. Extremely happy with the playback right now

After playing around with Netflix I realized that when I plug in the headphones (wired), the audio/video playback is flawless i.e. no sync issues. When I connect my Bluetooth stereo headset (LG tone) the I am having terrible audio/video sync problems. Don't know if it's a problem with this specific Bluetooth headset or a problem in general with the Bluetooth of the tablet. I will try other Bluetooth headsets to verify.
Im sorry if im reviving an old post but i need to know this ..
im about to buy this tablet and i love watching netflix.. Does the app Has HD playback ? Pleasee answer is the app working now?

This is a common issue with Bluetooth wireless speakers. I heard them talking about it on a Twit podcast recently. Try connecting via a wire and see if the problem goes away.

Every device I have lags on Bluetooth. You can't tell just playing audio (music) but with video the latency is apparent. The note works exactly the same.
Good to see this has good Netflix hope it's 1080p will be getting mines in a few days.
I've been experiencing this for a while now, every now and then when I'd watch movies on my tablet using the stock video player or even others such as MX Player and VLC, a crackling sound comes off that it sounds muzzled and blurry at the same time and the only thing to resolve it is to pause the movie or video then resume It right away then it's gone. The issue is it comes back time to time but rarely happens on YouTube as I recall, now I'm not sure if this is a hardware issue with the speakers, I'm not rooted and haven't modified anything at all, I've had this tablet for 2 months. Anyone else experiencing this issue? I wouldn't want to trade this is for a brand new device but if I really need to I would. Was just thinking if there was a work around for this without rooting the device.

Can you record the sound? Might be the app and the video itself if everything is fine on youtube. For my device I use allstar video player and its all fine. Could be an app issue with the video maybe? I havent tryed those video player apps but stock is fine for me also.
Not sure, thanks for the reply though. I could try recording it. Maybe it's just my speakers, cause I usually use the stock video player for my movies and that's where it happens.
