Title: Kindle Fire and streaming music slowdown
Post by: Wampus on 2012-Mar-06
My Kindle Fire occasionally has intermittent slowdown in apps when I stream ogg files. Shutting down and rebooting the Fire fixes the issue but it does return after a while.

Anyone else seen this happen? I'm taking it as another sign I should be using tracker music for Android apps, since the issue doesn't occur with tracker music.  ;)

you stream ogg files with glb over wifi or you mean you play ogg files in games or other apps ?

Not over wifi, sorry. I mean in games (that I've made) that use the PLAYMUSIC command in GLBasic. I said stream because, afaik, the files aren't loaded entirely into memory before playing but are buffered and decoded gradually. The Kindle Fire is a bit duff when it comes to sound. Slowdown occurring when playing music files is one of several issues I've encountered. Tracker music works very nicely with GLBasic though. :)

hmm, sounds like a not enough ram  problem
have you test .wav or mp3 ? is it the same slowdown ?

make a small app such like loadmusic/playmusic/waitkey().
so you be shure u have enough ram for playing.
