Some clips can not play for more reasons.
It can has audio in AC3 format, and we haven't decoder for it.
It can be encoded in profile higher than decoder supports(simple for MPEG4 ASP, and baseline for AVC).
It can be encoded with unsupported DivX/XviD features, like Bvop, QPel, GMC... Don't know what of this are supported.
But that support are same as in phones with correct stagefright-enabled official Gingerbread. So, its maximum what we can get from our QDSP
Yes, WMV are still not play. Don't know why. More work needed to understand what we missing for init it.

Where I take it? See that thread, this user are help me with it

Hi Ganster,

Please tell me the best quality coding options our blade supported for hw decoding.
I would like to encode hd video on PC using ffmpeg or Prism video converter and I need to know the best quality options to play without issues on device.

I prefer use native device resolution to encode to but I can not find good encoder.
Please help me.

Thanks,
Nik

I use that for ffmpeg(its windows bath-file format):

ffmpeg -i %1 -threads 2 -r 24 -f mp4 -s 800x480 -b 1024k -aspect 16:9 -vcodec libxvid -ar 44100 -ab 128k -ac 2 -acodec aac -strict experimental %1.mp4

You can use libfaac for audio, if experimental aac encoder are not implemented in your ffmpeg.
For video you can use mpeg4 encoder too, but it gives not good quality. And of course you can use x264 encoder with baseline profile, but it hardly to configure.

I tried MX player and Mobo player, none of them can HW decode, yet youtube works. Help me please

thanks, Ganster!  It works for me!

This is just a guess, but xvid/divx video encapsulated in AVI containers might be problematic due to the strange and non standard way b-frames have to be stored. This is not an issue with MKV or MP4.

Anyway, nice work Ganster! By the way, can you explain why MDP composition is so beneficial on our SoC? Does the GPU hit the fillrate limit when it's used for composition as well as rendering? I thought support for all those proprietary 2D accelerators was dropped in Froyo.

Version of 18-11: not bad... almost usable, but I have seen some issues:
- GPS is invisible for myTracks... a few other application (Endomondo, g:hu) works fine, but myTracks says: no GPS device at all!
- Still a bit slower (than in GB) changing the applications
- After a few hours it has been frozen when I open the Nova launchers menu. There was also a very slow period, when all worked, but with some 10 seconds of waits!

[ooBLADEXoo]

is the kernel included in the rom?

My advice.
Revert back to GB, if JB not usable to you.

Go to GPS defenitions and in Source of GPS see if you got the Use Internal GPS active.

my advice: try sio in performance>I/O scheduler, works for me.

My problem is Youtube HQ works, but MX player, Mobo player's HW doesn't
Anyone know a way to fix it? Thanks in advance.

@The-HUN: Strange, I've been using it for 5 days and it was never slow nor I saw any freezes with Nova. Not just usable - almost perfect in any aspect, except autobrightness doesn't work (I'll post a logcat later) and some older games claim I don't have sd card (I investigated that and will post later, possibly easy to fix)

What you mean is called "packed bitstream" and if BVOPs (i.e. B frames) are not supported, this won't work either. Let's hope B frames work correctly, because they are used in almost every video. As for Qpel and GMC, they are not supported for sure, but nobody uses them anyway.

I'll gladly help with testing what works and what not, if you give me the libs or when it is included in this ROM.

Thanks for that - just changed to it & phone feels much snappier at lockscreen & launcher (Apex). There was noticeable lag before sometimes when unlocking and on launcher Will see how it goes.

dear all, please help
previously i used CM9 by konsta, when i reflash to CM10, i everytime lose my IMEI, and baseband version is unknown

what to do?

thank you

How you lose your IMEI after flashing a rom?
It's impossible, the IMEI is at the low level software.

You do a TPT before flashing a rom?

dear, imei lost is known bug/feature or what of android

as i said, i have CM9 by konsta, i go into recovery 6.xxxx, i make full wipes and reflash from cm10 zip, after boot everything is working
except gsm/cdma, because *#06# shows NO IMEI, so radio does not connects to BTS

why TPT? my phone was bought as GEN2, now it is GEN3, it's my wife's phone

[Sulthekk]

IMEI can't be lost that easily, and this is NOT android bug.
It' because you are using a GEN3 device.

Either install the gen3 patch or revert to gen2 to use this rom.
Oh, by the way, it can only be GEN3 if you have ran a TPT at least once.

Also, TPT won't modify the IMEI.

great news, can you PLEASE provide me link to that patch?

I think xvid and divx are the same files just turn the letters around. Maybe people already new this but if you didn't i thought i post
