Froyo ROM's - Youtube HQ Video Fix

[Guest rayraven]

Looks like i've found a fix to the HQ video problem with the Froyo rom's displaying a green bar on top.

To apply this fix, make sure you are rooted and install root explorer or any app that lets you browse the root folders from the market. Astro is a free app that works equally well.

Make sure the /system partition is mounted read/write [Root explorer shows a button to mount it r/w on the top-left]

Tap and hold on build.prop and select edit in text editor.

Change the below code in there

media.stagefright.enable-http=true

to this:

media.stagefright.enable-http=false

Root explorer will make a backup for you automatically.

Reboot and the fix will be applied.

I've played a few youtube hq vids and tvcatchup and it's perfectly fine.

Hopefully it'll work for everybody else as well.

Cheers.

EDIT: Added file name.

EDIT 2: Disabling stagefright.enable-player for some reason seems to affect Quadrant scores, disabling stagefright.enable-http seems to fix both issues.

EDIT 3: Made the how-to apply the fix, a bit clearer, i think.

Edited file with root explorer and now YouTube works perfect !!! Thanks mate

[Guest strumluff]

Cheers, tried it and it works fine. So what is stagefright anyway?

[Guest rayraven]

Stagefright is the new audio/video framework in 2.2

http://developer.android.com/sdk/android-2.2-highlights.html

But, searching around, looks like other custom roms had this problem and disabled it too.

I personally havent seen any drawbacks because of disabling it.

I didn't know you could just edit the file!

I can't believe I had to reflash! Lol! Atleast I didn't clear cache and data.

Yes, I know. It only took 1 minute though and I was able to remove amazonmp3 and wavesecure which has been bugging me.

Noob mistake!

[Guest Rower85]

Trying this s*** aot!

[Guest Rower85]

>How to move build.prop back to root?

Used Terminal Emulator and "cp /sdcard/build.prop /system/"

It works! Enjoying Hannahminx boobs as we speak <3

[Guest flopyro]

can someone please do a Quadtant benchmark on SF, cause now i get 448 with Froyo, and before i had 1000

[Guest rayraven]

Hmm, yeah, i've noticed it too.

Try this:

Change enable-player back to true and enable-http to false.

media.stagefright.enable-player=true

media.stagefright.enable-http=false

Searching around, i've found disabling stagefright player for some reason affects quadrant.This should fix it, i think.

I'm trying it now.

With these settings the green bar is fixed on Youtube HQ and i get 932 points on Quadrant.
