Hi, hope someone can help me suddenly all mp3 files are unplayable on my phone. When I try to select them in the music player I get the message 'Sorry, the player does not support this type of audio file.' They worked fine yesterday and I only discovered this when my phone rang and there was no ringtone.
I rooted my phone 4 days ago and put Cyanogen v5.0.4.1 on and its fantastic this is the only thing thats gone wrong so far. I don't know that its anything to do with the rom it could be something else.
Is wiping my only option, does this mean I have to reload everything on from scratch I did a Nand backup as soon as I put the rom on my phone and another yesterday do I restore from a backup? Forgive my ignorance this is all new to me.
Just tried video files and they don't play either!

Whenever I click to watch certain videos for example a comic video from raywilliamjohnson, the app will load the right title, description and comment section but the video being play will turn out to be something else like a cooking video or a game show.
I noticed the problem first happened one night when I marathon-watched subscription videos from raywillamjohnson on youtube app (2.0 version) After an hour, the app started to play wrong random videos. And the problem has been permanent ever since.
It seems like a cache issue and I have been trying to fix and the following is what I have done but nothing solves the problem permanently.
- I factory reset, deleted cache partition, deleted catch and data of the youtube app, formatted phone memory. Still the same.
- The problem only happens with wifi connection, 3G connection will load correct videos.
- Youtube on browser plays the videos perfectly. Problems only with app.
- The problem happened first time with the 2.0 youtube app that I updated. I tried the 2.1 app but still the same problem. Downgrading to the stock 1.6 youtube app solved the problem. Videos loaded correctly. Perfect.
- I had been happy with youtube 1.6 however, the latest firmware update from Samsung includes 2.0 youtube as stock. And the problem comes back again. I found youtube 1.6 apk from the internet and replaced the stock 2.0 with 1.6 but once I reboot the tab, it will install and replace with 2.0 youtube app. So this doesn't solve problem permanently...
- I believe this is a cache issue hidden somewhere (maybe I'm wrong?). I didn't root the tab so I tried to clear the cache and data of every running app and somehow the youtube app played videos correctly again. But I lost all other settings and this messed up the settings of the whole phone and I finally had to factory reset again... and guess what.. the problem came back :S
I'm really at loss what's going on behind the system that causes the problem.
I googled and searched the forum and seems like I'm the only one in the world with this weird issue. Please help (T.T)
Any insight is much appreciated. Thanks.
Same problem, running on an Evo 2.2. Happens for me on 3G & 4G.
My temporary fix that should work for you, is once the video starts, click the HQ button. The video will pause a moment and reload and it should be the correct video. You can then click the button again, and go back to whichever viewing mode you were at before.
I had this happen last night. Was watching a news broadcast on Youtube and all of a sudden the video switched to a hunting show, but the audio stayed the same...
Was very odd, but I didn't find a solution..
Same goes here, I have been facing this annoying problem with my "HTC Desire HD" and other devices!
I believe the latest youtube app is missed up. Also I like the previous Youtube app which I had been using on my previous device "HTC Hero" I think it was 1.6 version.
Moreover, I agree.... clicking HQ tap immediately just before the video plays will prevent it from playing different thing and taping back on HQ will plays it back as HQ I'm assuming.
Now how can I make the old version permanent even after rebooting.
I am facing this problem with three devices.
Desire HD
Acer Iconia a500
& HTC Flyer
All of them are linked to the same youtube account.
It might be a subscription issue. I think I have read it somewere.
Thank you
OMG, so this issue has been there since 28th December 2010
since it still happen to many people until now (24th Oct 2011) at lease 2 people I know just asked me about it and how to solve it.
I found a link under google's Help forum: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/youtube/thread?tid=06b3f1a933950603&hl=en
the only solution now is to click on the HD icon when the video starts playing, or to use the browser.
Not sure why it is taking google that long to solve it, or they are not yet aware of this issue!!!
YouTube for Android plays the SAME VIDEO no matter what I choose
Instead I see another video, I've rebooted, uninstalled, reinstalled, cleared the app's cache, data, whatever even factory data reset .. Can anyone help! Advice! Thanks
droids got hacked on youtube
yep i am also seeing this and did all things that people have done , also when you goto click on any vid you can hear a double click as it is being redirected to a different video.
Someone has hacked youtube lol
o well and it is not doing this on apply crap .
Problem still exists!
Its 2013 now, and I face this problem not just on the app but also on the browser!

Try changing your default search engine to something else (android device) and or allow 3rd party cookies (windows 7). The problem is actually with your internet service provider. You can change this as well for a more perminant fix, but first test it at a friend or family's house.
For some strange reason, Spotify no longer seems to recognize my phone's internal storage. I'm unable to listen to the radio and the following error pops up: 'No SD Card Found: We found no place to store our data, please check that you have a working SD card and free space". This started occurring after I upgraded to Mike's ARHD 10 (and remained after I upgraded again to 10.1). I tried Googling the issue, but couldn't find a single instance of anyone facing a similar problem. I'm fairly certain the rom is not to blame since no one else mentioned anything related to this--plus, the rom has been awesome thus far (just like Mike's earlier versions). I tried fixing permissions, and even re-installing rom after performing a full wipe. I also should mention that after uninstalling then re-installing Spotify, the app seems to run fine for a little while--but the error will rear its ugly head again after I try to open the app again at a later time . Also, I am able to access my internal SD card without a problem via ES File Explorer and everything looks about right when I go to Settings > Storage.
Any help would be appreciated
I get the same message when trying to start Spotify on my stock Gnexus. All other apps using internal storage works fine.
I have now uninstalled and reinstalled Spotify and for now it works fine, but I have to download all offline lists again

Thanks for the response. I started to receive this error (fairly recently) when I installed or updated my current rom. I got tired of having to keep re-installing the Spotify app, so eventually I went into Settings and decided to 'Delete cache and saved data' for the heck of it. This might not exactly be a feasible option for those who have a paid subscription and actual saved data, but I have yet to receive the same error again. :highfive:

Same issue here on my S4 (found this thread through the Spotify community... funny how us XDA members always end up troubleshooting products, lol). I was on Slimbean and thought it was the rom. Restored my stock Nandroid and got the same error a few hours later. Apparently, this will happen again later. Just wanted to chime in with my experience.
Same on HTC One. Put Sentinel rom on over the weekend, re-downloaded all my playlists and it worked fine on Monday...this morning, get the SD card message.
I was looking at where all my space was last night since I put Sentinel on and there was about 1.5gb in a Spotify folder under sdcard/data...the folder has gone.
I will re-install Spotify and see what happens.

It's been my experience in my past two and a half years here at XDA that the developers of ROMs and homebrew usually find a solution before the actual app developers do. In this case, there was a thread in the spotify support forum. That led me here. *shrug* it's how we do.

I come to XDA to find workarounds but when I pay (subscribe to) for something I expect the devs to work on a solution, I think the people working at spotify would like to hear about your problem too, because you can help them but many other people would just give up on them...
I had a problem too and contacted them, they are friendly and responsive

I always go directly to them. And I did. However, posting in multiple places never hurts. if you read my original post, you would see I found this thread from the Spotify support threads.

Spotify has many issues with android and the sd card error problem,i personally read the spotify forums and there are hundreds if not thousands having the same error spotify really should get there act together and fix this after all it is a paid service and you should be getting what you pay for.
What i did was put a new sd card in formatted it using the phone and kept spotify out,everything worked fine,so my advice for now would be to avoid spotify at all costs as you lose everything thats on the card as well ,at least until they fix this bug,of which we are all having to pay for
I was just playing around with the Movies app and noticed I can't seem to watch/download the licensed movies.
It's concerning the five free ones we received with the phone (they're the only ones I've tried at the moment). I redeemed them when I got the phone and at that time they downloaded and played just fine. Now though, when I tried to play one it said could not play video.
I deleted the file and thought I'd re-download to see if that helped but it now keeps saying 'Unable to get license' and won't download.
Just wondering if anyone else has had or seen a similar issue before?
i have a different problem, i can't remove video unlimited completely. even after uninstalling it, the movies app still loads video unlimited stuff.

Mine's all good again.
I'm not sure what exactly fixed the problem. Before noticing it was fixed I know I did both a factory reset and re-flashed a stock FTF file (for other purposes - I gave up on the license issue).
Maybe try one (or both) of those options and see if that helps (or maybe even running the repair through PC Companion)?
Hi there,
Forgive my ignorance but I need help! Yesterday I took some great video footage and went to transfer them to PC this morning in the normal manner that has worked many times previously. Let me add that the videos played back just perfectly on the phone, HOWEVER when I then transferred them to PC, all of the files show, but only 2 will play back, the others are just BLACK. Nothing can be seen. I would DESPERATELY like to somehow get these files back!!! Stupidly I recently changed my file transfer settings to delete files after transfer because I have had no previous problems so now the files are gone from my phone Would you know if there is ANY WAY I can get these files to play?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Cheers, Sharon.

Did you try to install another codec pack on ur PC? Try with K-Lite Codec Pack.
hello, posters,
since recently i have been having a major issue with my N900A. whenever i go into the music, even though the time lapse says it is starting at 0:00, it is usually playing the song at about in the middle. Then when this happens and i try to change the track, it usually plays a different song (starting again in the middle) from what i had originally selected. I thought it had to do with the stock player, so i have downloaded numerous players but they all do the same. I then thought it was the ROM (OTA Lollipop 5.0) that had a problem, so i downgraded, to 4.4.2 and still had the same problem. May i also add that if i do the official laymans advice and restart, then my SD Card would simply not read at all, and requires multiple restarts before it works. I even went as far as root/flashing the ROM "the S5 Experience" on it to see if it would b any different, which it hasn;t been. I formatted the SD card via the phone and copied back all my music files to the SD card multiples times, but that has still not fixed the problem. I listen alot of music and even if alot of things go wrong with my phone, my music (and email ha!) has to work.
Anyone has anyadvice.?? .. Thanks in advance members
-Kid
do you have another SD card to try?
not at the moment. I went and ordered one this morning should be in by Tuesday. ..
