That's not normal. It usually takes 2-3 seconds for large videos to load for me. Smaller videos load in less than 1 second.

Re: Why can't N900 play videos smoothly?
 
I have no problems with loading videos, it takes 2-5 seconds.

Installed software have nothing to do with that. I`ve already tried to remove everything and that didn`t help. Framedropping doesn't help either.

How much time passed? No more than 5 mounths.

Also I tried to remove all widgets and even shortcuts for desktops.

Problem with playing exist when I try to play it from memory card. I also tired to format this card, copy one movie and play it - same problem.

I was trying to play "Freshly copied" files - same problem.

I also have to correct myself. When playing videos online my problem appears, but only few times watching 5 minutes video. Also this is not that noticeable as it is when playing with SiB.
Second correction. Problem doesn't touch the sound. When image is the problem, sound form movie is all right (No stops etc). Also when I'm playing my mp3s problem does not appear, everything is ok.

I'm also impressed how much stuff I can do with my n900. Everything works great (Browser, Games emulators, and more). That's the main reason why I don't want do change my n900, I like this tablet a lot. I only want my n900 be able to play videos correctly :)

@Ridd92

You've got all codecs and extra codec packages installed?
If so, your best bet would be to play your file from the command line, with only mplayer itself, not with a GUI. It's by far the best way to play video, unless you insist onn hardware acceleration.

If that doesn't work well, try adding framedrop to your parameters.

I have all the codecs. I already tried to remove it and it changed nothing.

How can I play videos from command line, and how to add framedrop to my parameters?

I can make a video to show how the problem looks like exactly.

Also I'm going to try reflash my tablet, but I'm not sure I can do that. I'm running Windows 7 64 on my computer, so this is going to be super hard. And the most important part, will this help?

I'm going to try something else. My dad have n900 to, but with normal kernel and stock cpu (never overclocked etc), but his tablet is older than mine. We shall see..

install mplayer for the commandline (Use FapMan or on the terminal

Code:
sudo gainroot
apt-get update
apt-get install mplayer
Try playing it first without framedropping. If you still need that, try framedropping (or hardframedrop), but that only works if the videoformat allows you to.

The mplayer manual can be found here:

I never overclock any other way than using QCpuFreq and have used my N900 a lot in combination with the TV-out.

Re: Why can't N900 play videos smoothly?
 
I can find only two possibilities

1. I'm doing something wrong
2. Problem is different

Code:
/home/user/MyDocs/Downloads # mplayer thehurt.avi
MPlayer SVN-r30099-4.2.1 (C) 2000-2009 MPlayer Team


MPlayer interrupted by signal 11 in module: unknown
- MPlayer crashed by bad usage of CPU/FPU/RAM.
Recompile MPlayer with --enable-debug and make a 'gdb' backtrace and
disassembly. Details in DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports_what.html#bugreports_crash.
- MPlayer crashed. This shouldn't happen.
It can be a bug in the MPlayer code _or_ in your drivers _or_ in your
gcc version. If you think it's MPlayer's fault, please read
DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports.html and follow the instructions there. We can't and
won't help unless you provide this information when reporting a possible bug.
/home/user/MyDocs/Downloads #
I`m using QCPUFreq too.

I am not too sure about that. Might be the file after all.

Could you try and start that file with

Code:
mplayer -vo gl_nosw thehurt.avi
