For some reason apps that allow me to watch videos online from streams has quality loss on the nexus 7. Like crunchyroll for an example and other apps. It seems like I'm only having this problem because others have a nexus 7 and didn't have this problem. Theres like a color issue or something. Is my nexus 7 a defect or something?
Some streaming applications automatically detect available bandwidth/latency and downgrade image quality or frame rate automatically, or switch to a more lossy codec.
So, from what you have said, it is very hard to say - it could just be that you have a poor internet connection (bandwidth, latency, or drop-outs).
Two ways to tell -
Find another N7 user and have them try the same operation while using YOUR WiFi connection, or
Download an entire movie and play it without using internet streaming - a hardware problem that has nothing to do with the internet should show up whether you are streaming or not.
good luck

Is it possible to stream video via an XDA Mini S?
I want to link up my video camera to my xda and stream video from a moving vehicle to the web (about 20 minutes). Am I just fantasising or is it feasible ? I can link the xda and the camera by some sort of usb cable, but I also have bluetooth on the camera (not very likely for video though).
TIA, DBo.
this might be possable via WiFi but i doubt GPRS or Edge would support speeds that would give u any decent results. that is if u can figure out how to input the vid stream into the wizzard. and would love to know if u find out how!
Over a super slow GPRS uplink? I doubt it some how!
Even if it was posible, which it may techically well be, the quality would have to be so amazingly low quality it would be pointless.
streaming
Try Orb, quite ok results
Streaming
Thanks for the input. I don't think I've got any chance of a 'truly' mobile solution (although it would be great). I think I'd end up with a wireless sender from the camera in the car to a trackside server with a wifi uplink. Oh well, it was a nice idea. maybe if I had a 3G phone ? I could strap it on to the rollbar and start a video call. Hmmm...
Hey there!
I've just read all the "improve video performance" threads, but did not found what i am searching.
I've a big video archive on my home server, shared via file sharing and vista media share. So i am able to access all those (mostly) avi files with my laptops and other Multimedia Hardware (XBOX for example).
Now i would like to open the videos on my brand new xperia, too.
I've got the resco file explorer and mapped the network share, so i got the nice folder list of all the videos.
I've installed the most recent coreplayer, and tried out nearly all setting configurations, but i was not able to get a 20 minutes simpsons episode to play without rebuffering every minute. (And it buffers for 10 seconds, that is just horrible).
I've increased the values for buffering to the universe, or tried to set it to zero.. no improvements.
The option "prefer less buffering over framerate" is just freezing the video while the audio runs on.. great.
So.. what are what are your best settings here? Thanks in advance!
I haven't tried this properly myself, but there's a couple of ideas that I'd try if I were you...
Firstly, copy one or two video files to the phone and see how they run off your phone memory. Avi files aren't supported by hardware decoding, so they won't be running at their best in any case, you *might* want to think about re-encoding files you want to watch to .mp4 h264.
The second thing I can think of is playing with the Start > Settings > Connections > Wireless LAN > Power Mode and setting the slider to it's highest. The battery gets pretty warm on it's fullest setting, but I wonder if this would speed up wireless access for the vids.
Oh yes... i already set this to maximum performance... got no speed improvements from this...
i cannot believe that it is a decoding problem, because if the video stops for buffering, i can tap pause twice and it is running on... but just for 3 seconds. not enough buffering i think.
this post was submitted using the x1. gg
copied avi runs without problems...
the same on my x1...network performance is horrible...video streaming is not possible without buffering.
Same thing here
I noticed the same thing with my X1.
I had hoped it would work better than on my old hp6910 which only had b-Wifi, but it doesn't. Its pretty much the same.
so nobody got an idea here? When i am sitting right next to my access point, there is no buffering... great!
Hey guys
First i want to explain the problem, which is something that really bothers me alot. I have a wireless connection at home, which is in the living room, which is about 14 meters away from my office room in the house.
Now the problem is I noticed that whenever I want to listen to a streaming radio station the stream keeps disconnecting, like maybe 5 times/minute. It really bothers me, since I like to lsiten to the radio while I work, and this issue has been since I bought the deivce. I tried all the best streaming player, itunes, vlc, real player, winamp. All the players keep disconneting after few seconds. Sometimes I notice that the wireless connection is lost on the shift only while on my other computer in the living room it is not. Sometimes the wireless is on and the streaming keeps disconnecting. I did a driver update for the wireless but still the same problem.
I checked if I take one of my dell laptops to the office room, listeing to the radio stations is fine with not interruptions at all, so why is it that the shift has the interruption problem while listening to streaming radio, while other laptops do not have this problem.
Please please help
Thanks
First ensure that you are running on High Performance (so wireless is not going in powersave mode)
Then try to increase the buffer size on your player..
Let me know
i am on high performance,
Can I ask a silly question how can I increase the buffer size of for example itunes, or vlc, or window media player
thanks so much in advance

Have you updated all VISA Drivers to latest verison from HTC Shift Support site ?
There are new drivers which are available on HTC SHIFT Website for VISTA,
Please update drivers (ALL of them, specially chipset driver and WIFI driver) and check if it resolves the issue.
SPB has gone to freeware for their mobile TV software:

I tested it and it works fine, but at my current location I have to use low definition.
"Hi"Def (350Kbps) is certainly an improvement over the lower (150?100? kbps), but I find that some channels skip with it. The classic (old B&W mainly) SciFi and Comedy channels (forgotten the names, sorry) for example. Other channels are OK. You often get a few seconds of audio before video appears, and then first second or two of video is jerkier than what follows. Basically don't write off a channel until you've viewed it for at least 10-15 seconds. The skipping stops on lower bandwidth version.
I'm not sure whether the video/audio skipping I mentioned will happen to all people, or whether they have a lot of packets dropping on the way to Kazakhstan. Can't be bothered find stream addresses and trace routing, but something to try another day.
Oh, using WiFi onto a 1Mbit ADSL line btw, no 3G out here, so not able to test Edge quality.
Hey guys, I'm trying to see if anyone else is experiencing this on the HD2 w WP7.
When I click on a video link on YouTube website, the video player loads up. However, the video quality always play in the lowest quality, never in HQ. I tried it on multiple videos, that I know can be scaled to be viewed up to 1080p (I'm aware that the phone can't play this though). But it still plays them in the worst quality, never HQ.
I also tried this test under my regular t-mobile data connection (HSDPA), and using WiFi.
I know that with WM6, and Android, clicking a YouTube link from the website, opens up its respective players, but you have the option, (at least in Android) to bump it up to high quality, in the settings (if data connections is fast enough).
It just bugs the heck outta me, because I use it to "get away" during my short lunch break at work, to either watch some videos, or short tv shows, its frustrating to watch video that looks like it was intended for a Razr phone screen on the HD2, and can't do anything to fix it.
So let me know, if its something that I need to do, or if everyone else is experiencing the same thing.
Thanks Guys
Eddie.
For me it depends on the speed of my connection. 3g bad, wifi great. Youtube over 3g under wm6.5 was awesome so it sucks that it's so bad under wp7.
Quality in the youtube app from HTC is good even over 3g.
