Hi all,
I have searched this forum for issues concerning sluggish streaming video playback performance on the N810. Mostly I found users rather happy with YouTube performance or other sites...but I am not happy at all.
I have sluggish performance on different YouTube videos, bad or good quality. Also, I streamed a few movies from Gametrailers.com. All streamed videos play back with lots of hickups and/or bad frames per second.
My WIFI connection is a 4 Mbit ADSL connection and using divers internet speed measurements sites, I get around 400 Kb per second download speed. Isn't that bad at all I suppose?
Who has suggestions on this one or must I accept this quality of stremaing video playback?
Thx
PS: audio / internet streaming radio quality/speed is fine!

Because you're streaming. Network transfers cost CPU.
The problem comes from several factors, probably the most notable one is that preemption is not enabled (and most likely hell will break loose if you try to run a kernel with preemption enabled).
When playback of streamed data is performed, the data is cached locally (to mmc, iirc) and that prevents smooth playback.

In fairness, with every new version of Serge's excellentissimo port of Mplayer the stutter becomes "rarer and rarer" (to paraphrase Alice). It's still there though, even with rc25.
