Help

I have just bought a Arnova 10 G2 from Carphone warehouse in the UK.

When I watch video via the Flash plugin, there are random horizontal lines across the video, often for the first 5 seconds of playback, and then at regular intervals during playback.

I get these on BBC iPlayer, ITV Player and YouTube with the stock brower.

It also seems to show these random horizontal lines when you tap the screen to move to a different point in the video.

I had the problem with Flash 10.1 (in the original ROM) and also did it after upgrading to 10.3 from AppLib. I even flashed with the firmware on the arnova site, but it turned out to be the same version my tablet shipped with.

Any ideas. If I watch the reviews of the Arnova 10 G2 online, I cannot see the problem on the tablet the reviewer was using.

Any suggestions?

Roger

Yes I get the same as well. Doesn't happen all the time on all videos but when watching embedded flash videos, it happens more often than not. Seems to be a very slight (but noticable) sync issue with these flash videos as well.

Just tested a couple of videos on MX player and I don't get the lines.

Thank you for testing the video on your tablets.

Maybe a bug in the Flash video decompression code, or a bug in the way Flash shows video on the screen. Hopefully this will be fixed if we get a proper Honeycome or ICS upgrade in the future.

Thanks
