Video Playback Not working after froyo - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I been reading though so it looks like going back to CM from Froyo messes up the video playback. Trying to fix it now. But I can't Figure out what radio to use. Any one have this problem?

It's related to the radio. The new radio should only really be used with 2.2. If you're going back to CM then use the radio he has posted on his forums.

Or you can grab the older radios here:

Sorry, Shazam is currently offline.

I am using drizzys hero rom 1.4r1 and I'm getting the error message "Sorry, Shazam is currently offline" when I try to tag a song. I've tried it on EDGE, GPRS, and 3G and I get the same message each time. Shazam has worked on my phone before but I don't know if I've ever used it on this particular ROM.
meee tooo i have cyanogenmod 4.1.1.1 or watever it is, and it started yesterday as well, anyone know wats going on?
Any updates on this? I'm using it on my G1 with SenseHero, but i've noticed this for a while.
I'm running Cyanogen and it's running just fine, try reinstalling it, I don't know how that would help, but it wouldn't hurt to try
I had that once, it wouldn't work for a day or more. I didn't do anything in particular, it just resolved itself. Reinstalling the app is always worth a try.
I'll try reinstalling it.. thanks guys. I notice both of you are running Cy's ROM. I hope it's not because I'm running a Sense/Hero ROM, which coincides with when I started noticing it wasn't working. I don't foresee going back to a Cupcake/Donut ROM anytime soon.

I figured out what is wrong. If you notice on your Hero ROM sound recording does not work. Well Shazam uses that feature of the phone so if you fix the sound recording issue then Shazam will work. The Hero rom I'm using now (see sig) has the sound recording fixed and shazam works.
You were right! When SenseHero was updated to fix the audio problems, Shazam started working fine...
Thanks!

I think this will sound silly, but it worked on my device. And its not related to Sapphire, I am going to post my finding in this thread since this is the only proper search result when I googled the issue.
I was using MoreLocale in order to have the keyboard in my native language. When I set the language back to English Shazam worked (Don't ask me how I discovered it). I also tried another language i don't remember, that time Shazam said it couldn't send the tag.
This might be irrelevant but, I'm using MCR 3.0 on HTC Hero and I couldn't get Wavesecure to work as well. Following the factory reset, Wavesecure worked too. I highly suspect that that was also due to my locale settings.
Hope this helps.

Eclair Camera Support - is it a Kernel or User Space Issue?

I really want Eclair bad.. but I can not live without a camera.
What exactly is the ongoing issue with getting Elcair camera to work - is it a kernel issue or a user space one?
If it is user space I might start looking into it myself using the working donut code as a starting point.
There seems to be very little information on this board about the *development* of Eclair. Everyone is just talking about builds and cooking. Should I be looking at another board for actual Java hacking to get the user-space working (assuming it is in user-space) ?
I think it's due to user space as everything works fine in Donut builds. For example, BlueTooth works fine in polyrhythmic's Eclair builds for Kaiser, while other eclair builds don't.
I'm sure if someone took a look at what polyrhythmic did with his build, you could get bluetooth working on other eclairs, and this could maybe even help figure out how to get the camera working as well.
Just shows how we really took advantage of polyrhythmic's work.

BT works in the Eclair builds on this forum too, Perhaps not so well on your Kaiser however.
Did Poly get BT audio working?
Regarding the camera. Thats a great question. I am not sure who is working on it?

Guess he didn't, just tried it myself and it only connects. No BT audio. According to his front page that BT audio is a kernel problem.
For the record, I don't care about Bluetooth, at all. But I can't go to eclair with no camera.
If it is confirmed user-space, then maybe I will start looking into it myself... although, I find it hard to believe months have gone by based on a simple userland issue?
i think it is user space also, because using an eclair NBH on warm donut camera works fine, but same NBH with eclair and the camera doesnt work so that would rule out the kernel most likely
Yes, it's a userspace problem, I wrote the userspace cam lib for cupcake and donut but there will be some changes needed for eclair and froyo.
I don't have much time at the moment and would rather make the kernel better with what time I do have.
It's probably not a difficult job to get it working, pm me if you need any pointers.

polymod 2.1g with the BT&WIFI update had btaudio working for kaiser.
2.1d lost btaudio but is a much faster build.

I haven't used Polymod in months. I should probably give it another try.

[Q] Browser crashes watching certain flash video

Hello,
I have had my nexus for about 5 months now and really love the phone.
One big feature that I use is flash video online and I watch streamed TV channels. A few months ago, when 2.2 was originally released I was able to watch any stream I cam across.
However, within the last month, certain video stream will result in my phones browser crashing immediately. The browser does not force close, and there is no error message, just immediately booted back to home screen.
The funny thing is, 2 of my friends who have the HTC desire, are unable to view the same streams. The browser crash is 100% repeatable without fail.
I am currently running STOCK 2.2, with stock recovery, stock (non-korean) radio, stock everything. I reverted entirely to stock from CM6 to see if it would fix my problem but it has not. I have tried CM6, Enomther, Kang and stock roms, Tried the froyo 4.06 radio and the Korean 5.08 radio, all of which have the exact same behavior.
A specific stream that does not load for me (there are others) is The Poker Channel, over at atdhe.net
I have tried both OnDemand and always on for flash settings but nothing seems to help.
If anyone has any ideas or also experiences these problems I would love to hear it. If you need more information or a video of the problem I can provide whatever is needed. I desperately would like to fix this problem.
I have been having the exact same issue with Justin.tv streams it was working when I was on the beta flash and right after the official flash was released. Very recently I want to say two weeks it crashes my browser. The only thing I can think of is maybe its being blocked from there end? I also tried wiping and installing the beta again and same crash

Well that is good news and bad news Im sorry to hear you have the same issue but its nice to know I am not alone.
I would like to get it fixed but I have no idea how to go about it. I have tried almost everything I can think of, including changing User Agent and all that stuff.
If anybody reads this, Is anybody able to watch the Poker Channel from atdhe.net on your phone? Other channels dont work as well, I dont even like poker, but I know that channel is a for sure browser crash for me.
So there is a new flash update that I just downloaded on my phone. Flash Player 10.1.95.1. This seems to have fixed my problem 100%, as every flash channel now works flawlessly.
If only I didnt revert everything back to stock... hahah At least I am happy to have my issue resolved.
I made sure mine is up to date and it still doesn't work it might be my build
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Actually I came back to post that upon going through more channels I find that some still don't work. A majority of the ones that didn't work now do work but I still experience some channels on atdhe that crash my browser immediately. This is while using stock 2.2 still.
That changes my thoughts a little knowing your on a stock build it might be a problem with the stream itself I notice it does it only on Justin.TV streams the ones work great still
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
I had the same issue today. I was trying to watch a steram from atdhe which I'm pretty sure is linked to Justin TV. Just keeps crashing my browser .
Another issue I've had is watching Colbert report on CTV's and comedy centrals website. The audio plays in slow motion but the video plays normal. Everything else on those sties work for me.
I'm using CM6 nightly build.

[Q] CM7 Wav playback problems.

As the title suggests, I'm having trouble playing back certain Wave files. I've tried poweramp, winamp and doubletwist. While most of my other Wavs work, I have a particular one that has a really static sound at regular intervals and another that cuts out half way through. I can't understand these issues since my PC plays them fine. Yes I have tried copying them several different times, so it's not a file corruption issue.
Please help!
it could be a compatibility issue from cm7. take screenshots of it and upload to cm7 issue list, i do not think much can help on this. and I think cm7 cannot play .avi files too.
Can you attach the file here so that we can try it on our phone?
Hey sorry about the slow reply guys, I was ill on the day I was going to reply and then royally screwed up my phone trying to get the Doc Rom beta working. I'm sorry, but I don't think I can place the song up here. It hasn't been released to the general public, I'm just lucky and know the sto artist. I do have some more information, I tried it on 2.2 stock and it worked perfectly. I couldn't try it on 2.3.3 stock unfortunately, so I'm not entirely sure whether it is an android 2.3 bug or whether it is a Cyanogenmod bug. I'm using the Miui rom now, which I might add is amazing! However the audio problem is still there, probably since it is based on CM. I might have to convert to Flac in the meantime, which isn't that bad because then I'll have some meta data!

[Q] Videos won't play (M7)

I have a Sprint HTC One M7 which is S-Off and WAS rooted/on a custom rom. Why emphasize WAS? Because recently I've developed a strange issue. Any/ALL stock Sense based rom refuses to play stream videos, YouTube videos or any other videos in general. I have searched the issue up online and not one matching case on XDA. Other sources solutions are ridiculous. The funny thing is that videos play 100% fine on any AOSP based rom. This device is not currently connected to Sprint at all, only WiFi, same issue on any WiFi network I try. Oh, back to the emphasis on WAS, I have tried to factory reset, wipe internal storage, and finally, flashed an RUU and took OTA updates up to official Sense 6 and still no luck.
I have read some complications due to Google Movies app but I don't use or touch that app at all, regardless, how is it possible that that app is to interfere specifically with STREAM videos out of all videos sources? And how come it gives no issues on non-Sense based roms?
Any reasonable suggestions/solutions will gladly be THANKED.
SOLVED: Weird, I updated all Google Play apps and it seems to be working. Or it mayjust have been the Youtube online mobile site causing problems instead. I did indeed experience problems with video streaming on websites other than YouTube on other Sense roms, but in the case of returning to stock, it seems to have been a simpler issue
I was wrong, started happening again randomly with all videos again...this is hopeless.

This is really weird.. this is the second time I've heard of this problem. Hasn't happened to me yet though.

Yeah its annoyingly random. I had to jump back to a custom aosp-based rom in the meanwhile. It was working again then it just stopped. I wanted to stick to a Sense based rom as the battery life is very promising. For now i have chosen Beanstalk for its stability/battery life as my temporary choice. I just wish I knew what causes it. Doesnt sound like any Androud virus I've ever heard of, and I've never actually heard of an android virus except something about rootkits.

My theory is that there's something wrong with the libs on a Sense ROM, that makes it incompatible with the newer versions of YouTube. Might be wrong though, since I'm not a developer. Also, since it happens randomly >.>.

Its not just YouTube its actually...everything. Netflix, MTV app, YouTube, both stock web browser and Chrome when streaming videos, the list goes on. I didnt get to test what happens with videos played from the internal storage though...
