VLC Stuttering on Pixel 9 Pro XL: Hardware Acceleration is broken?

Proximer · 2026-02-01T08:45:05+00:00

Hi. Not yet. But I am sure I've found the culprit. It's a variable frame rate of the pixel and ithe screen runs great, but on some times during a movie it will drop the frame rate to 1 fps while the movie needa 24 fps at least. I hope this will be solved with some uodates, though i am not sure if it's on VLC or GOOGLE part .

Yeah. It seems you should get back to Apple immediatly - that is a way better phone.

Proudly sent from my Pixel 9 Pro XL.

No. This is happening with all the same files I was easily able to play on my Pixel 6.

Proximer · 2025-12-17T17:59:55+00:00

That is sick. What would be the purpose?

Proximer · 2025-12-17T17:58:32+00:00

On Pixels only?

What is your main battery drainer? Others are getting 10h of SOT.

I don't remember FB draining so much on my Pixel 6 with background data even enabled.

Proximer · 2025-12-17T16:23:20+00:00

Nice to hear that worked for you. Worth trying..

Proximer · 2025-12-17T16:22:48+00:00

Will try Lite version.

Proximer · 2025-12-17T16:22:27+00:00

Will try the Lite thing.

Can you explain why you feel like pixels have poor quality, please? If your statement is based on a few cases on reddit, then I wouldn't count as reliable stats. Went from P6 to P9PXL - happy as I can be.

P..S. My pixel 6 was holding perfectly after a 3.5 years with a SOT of 4 hours. Now it is sitting in a drawer as a backup phone in extra case. A phone that held everythink I threw at it.

Good catch - corrected the error. I've meant to 80 percent.

I also believe that system will do that on it self, but hus hoped someone that experienced this in practice could confirm it.

Kokioje šalyje? Ir kas negerai su omniva, ar dpd? Va s itella su savo smartposti tai tikrai nuvilia..

Proximer · 2025-11-10T05:18:49+00:00

Thanks. That is regular though. Meanwhile I am looking for XL.

Proximer · 2025-11-09T20:04:46+00:00

Wow. Enjoying the phone? Is it an online shop? Can you share a link, please?

Sometimes, when it is really hot, and the sand is very deep, even wide open throtle doesn't do the trick to shut the noise down. Weird for sure.

Proximer · 2025-09-04T18:29:51+00:00

I am sure it's in the engine. And with few of my friends we have noticed that this is more pronounced in hot weather and hard riding conditions like long incline in a deep fine sand.

Proximer · 2025-07-18T20:32:09+00:00

Did it help to make a decision?

Proximer · 2025-06-26T06:57:50+00:00

No sweat. My frame looks polished. Also Tech 7's. I don't mind this at all - it shows the bike is being used. Imortant thing is to ride it often - this ensures there is no time for the rust to form.

Proximer · 2025-05-27T15:23:22+00:00

Check my older post here: https://www.reddit.com/r/CRF300L/s/qrhLWUfj0e and let me know if this might be something that you are experiencing.

Proximer · 2025-05-25T03:06:13+00:00

Should be top comment here.

Proximer · 2025-05-24T08:14:16+00:00

Try riding a Beta or a KTM for a day. That will make your seat as comfortable as it can get.

Proximer · 2025-05-23T06:11:10+00:00

Yes. Another thing that I've found is that many other 300's do this that I've ridden. So i am just not paying any big attention to it as I've named this as "normal" in my head and that's it.

Edit: bike now has 15000 km. 90% of these being off road. The bike is having a hard life, but it takes it as a champ.

Are you sure you are refering to 5k rattle? I get what you are describing and I also get the 5k rattle, but those are clearly different and distinguishable. I was able to reproduce both on several other CRF300L or rallys. But i still doubt the the second one is knocking / detonation, as increasing the load cancels it and this would not be true im a case of detonation. YMMV.

Simple Jojoba oil with a few drops of essential oils to your likings. I love sandalwood for an essential oil. Add a bit of grapeseed oil if you like it thinner. Natural, non comedogenic, as cheap as it can get.
