The title of the thread is a bit confusing.

We talk about youtube videos in 720p. I can view 480p without lags, but 720p is like a fast diashow.

Hello!

I can play 720p videos in the browser window (tested CM standard, Dolphin HD 7.3.0, Opera 11.50) - but switching to full screen only worked with cm standard browser - video was distorted with the other browsers.
...may be because of 32MB ramhack. I will test a 00 ramhack build from vodonka later...

For testing I used the Avenger Trailer HD.

OC was @1.3Ghz

Flash: 11.1.112.60
ROM: CM7.2.0-RC0-KANG temaseks build P204-29
Kernel: ironkrnL32-20120106h1801
BB/RIL: 0823

BTW: Playing HD videos with moboplayer works also flawlessly - and yes output over HDMI is ok too...;):cool::):D

I used your attached trailer video, played on my KANG build #30 in Dolphin HD browser. Full screen playback in 360p smooth...that's good enough for me.

Hello!

As I understand it he was referring to Flash video streams from You-tube in 720p played in the browser!!!

Given the right codec the hardware is of course absolutely playing vids up to 1080p - I had never glitches using external player like Moboplayer.

But the Point was 720p played in a Web-browser!

...that is arguably a little more demanding for the hardware since these interfaces produce a little more overhead.

Hello!

As I wrote I could play it in 720p in full screen in the standard CM7 web browser using your KANG (P204-29 it was) with ironkrnL - didn't test, but I am sure it will also play with standard kernel.:cool::):D
Full screen was distorted with Dolphin HD and Opera, but (as I wrote) I am not sure if it isn't related to the 32MB-ramhack of the ironkrnL - I will test this later...;):) But it played well in Browser...

And of course 360/480p is usually more than absolutely enough on a mobile device, but he wants the video to look good on an full HD Big screen - as I understand it.:rolleyes::D
And as mentioned in your KANG-thread (a little OT there...), if the video is coded in codec not supported by the phones hardware i.e. coded with webm like the example from the KANG thread...

...it won't work.:(

Hello!

Now I tried it with vodonkas new KANG kernel build from yesterday and must say - impressive...:eek::cool::D

With or without ramhack - the HD Trailer from Avenger I linked will run without glitches in browser window and full screen at 720p.:cool::):D

Without the distortions - I had with ironknL!

My problem is that it plays for a while and then the screen freezes but the sound continues playing. And yes I am talking about youtube in browser.

Hello!

Standard question as always - are you using latest KANG?

Using a custom kernel will speed up things to...

As for me it works using latest KANG + latest ironkrnL 32MB ramhack @1.3Ghz.

...that is using Dolphin HD 7.3.0 or standard CM7 browser...

And yes it doesn't work with every 720p video - they must use a compatible meaning hardware supported codec...it is after all a phone an not a Quad core desktop computer an even on a desktop you are lost when the codec isn't properly supported....

And I need a good WiFi connection - didn't test this with 3G so far.
