3.1 update - flash streaming now works ok?

[Oxytoxine]

Hi guys

I had a xoom but sold it (long story). Seeing that 3.1 seems to fix so many of the issue i'm considering jumping back but would have a short question.

Does viewing / streaming flash movies in 720 now work or is it still extremely choppy? I do not mean in the youtube app, but in the browser from sites such as e.g. project free tv online. This (and the frequent fcs in the browser and market) was the main reason i got rid of my xoom, because i would like to use it (also) to stream tv shows while exercising on the indoor bike :-b
Otherwise great device!

Thanks, and happy xooming

I haven't had any FC's yet, second day on 3.1, I must say I'm very pleased.
Sry, I have no idea about flash playback.

Pirated high profile video will still be just as choppy on any tegra 2 device.

forgive my naivity, but what do you mean with pirated? i did not know that projct free tv is illegal (seriously).

then let's talk about other sites, such as e.g. ted.com or the media libraries of our official tv channels (sf.tv, ard.de, 3sat.de etc.), they all were not watchable at all, so choppy :-(

I don't have the update yet, so I am not sure....

But, I do believe TV stream is illegal and am shocked its still on the market.

I was being tounge-in-cheek as I don't care if its pirated... but most people complain about 720p videos not working when they have torrented it as most pirated TV shows and movies use high profile.

High profile playback is a hardware issue. Overall flash video is much better.

Video seems to work OK. Flash playback is pretty good. Movies on the other hand are hit or miss. 720p seems to need an overclock to play nice on my xoom.

I've yet to receive the 3.1 update, still on 3.0.1, but I can assure you 720p videos work just fine, you just have to play nice with your encodes.

I'm on 3.1, I was able to watch some 720p videos on you tube in the browser. Depending on the amount of motion or what have you they sometimes lagged out but generally it was fine. I watched the "big buck" demo and it was pretty smooth.
