All my mp4s/mpeg4s played fine on the normal android 1.5, after installing hero some of them won't play, some plays but the screen is green and only can hear audio.
We can't guarantee that all of Hero's features work great...for one, Hero isn't even available publicly and two, it's not supposed to go on the G1 .
Is this a problem that just happens with the stock firmware (like built-in) video player? Have you tried it with a 3rd party video player (such as Video Player by Jeff Hamilton)?
I am running Nookie Froyo for EMMC

I have the weirdest problem mp3's will not play and when trying a youtube video is says, "Sorry, this video cannot be played"
Seems like some kind of codec issue. Any ideas?
Yea there is some kind of audio codec problem with playing mp3 on Froyo. I noticed that too with youtube app. It run but won't play any video. However, with flash extension and going to youtube.com on Dolphin Browser, the music played. I've also noticed Gameloft games have no audio too but other games have audio. I guess audio source from ogg worked but not mp3. I think we need to wait for a kernel fix.
I was able to get at least MP3s playing by downloading the sideload update zip file for 1.0.1 from B&N directly, unzipping it, and copying the contents of /system/lib/dsp to my device, then rebooting. YMMV, but it at least got stock and winamp to play MP3 files, though winamp still wont play shoutcast streams... its little by little though i guess.

Either it doesnt work with the files from the 1.1.0 update or i did it wrong
Edit: Just restored the original files, then put the 1.0.1 and youtube nor pandora work. Theres something else thats changed that prevents it. Youtube.com with flash works albeit the video is very laggy (sound is fine though)
I pulled the /system/lib/dsp folder out of the 1.1 root flashable zip, copied it (after backup up current dsp folder) to my Froyo 0.5.9 nook, running on eMMC, and rebooted. I can now play mp3s, however, I have to launch them from root explorer, which is less than desirable.
I just upgraded to froyo 0.6.8 via EMMC, dual boot, and dalingrin's OC kernel and Mp3 playback seems to be working fine, however, mp4 streaming apps like youtube, pandora, and cnet tv all seem to be broken still.
Someone in the forums said they got Youtube to run after clearing the Dalvik-cache but that did not work for me.
Hi Suddenly my phone can not play mp3 files. I'm using player pro, and default player 'music player' both of them. If I try to play it the "Sorry the player does not spport this type of audio file" message keep coming out. Even it can not play video, and it says it has problem with playing video. Even the ringtone I made from an mp3 file can not be played right now. So when it get calls it gives silence.
I've heard that there's some apps for playing media files, I might miss that now. can anybody tell me where i can get those apps?
Do you have any idea about this? I rooted the phone, but didn't change the rom. it has still 2.1.

I'm having the same issue after the Froyo update. The only solution I've found is to reboot which, to me, is bull****.
I have two Captivates running Phoenix Ultimate and they have both exhibited this. rebooting does fix it but I don't really consider that a fix.
Pro Player is the prefered player but I noticed it does this with the stock player as well.
Did anyone find a permanent fix for this?
My Captivate was working fine but started doing this randomly after I upgraded to 2.2. I will not be able to play any media, won't connect to youtube either. Of course the reboot works, but I miss calls because it randomly stops playing my custom ringtone.
Same here. Anyone have a fix?
Not playing mp3 suddenly
I am also having this problem with audio and video files not playing.Yes, reboot works but is not a fix!
I am also having this problem. It happens like twice a day now, really starting to piss me off. Any solution get?
U see alot of posts but no info that is needed to help. No rom version, no modem, no kernel info. All these things matter.
Mine is SGH-I896
Firmware 2.2
Baseband I896UXJL1
Kernal 206.32.9
Build FROYO.UXJL1
This is getting so annoying...
I am on 2.3.3 (Mosaic III, a jvh build) using X-cal's 1.2 no voodoo reorient jvh kernel. Previously, I used Phoenix and mostly speedmod kernels. Since upgrading to Froyo, I cannot play 95% of my music.
Currently, the included Mosaic music players (both stock 1.1.1 and miui v. 1) only play about 5% of my non-drm mp3s which are stored on my external sd card. (The error says "sorry, the player does not support this audio file" or something like that; but they are all mp3s with Id3v2.2 tags. I painstakingly checked. 95% are rendered unknown artist and are unplayable by the music players.) I have deleted and reloaded the music to no avail. Again, I had the same problem under Froyo (Phoenix Roms) but no problems under Eclair. I don't think this is a Rom based issue but I'm not prepared to rule it out.
I have tried at least four other music apps and they all have the same problem.
I will try to remove both included music apps (which are regarded as system apps) and reinstall.
Question: is there an explanation as to what is causing this? Whether or not there is an explanation, has anyone found a resolution?
This has been a frustrating several months and I thought, foolishly, that Gingerbread would solve the issue.
Any relevant insight on this (ruled out culprits, etc.)?

I was having the same issue and I also couldn't play any flash videos. Once I unistalled Flash Player and reinstalled it, no more issues playing MP3s or flash videos.

Thanks! I'll give that a shot. Where did you get the flash player to reinstall?

Unfortunately, this still doesn't work. I'm completely perplexed. I use my phone as an mp3 player. But now, that functionality is useless.

This might sound VERY WEIRD, but trust me, remove the official Twitter app. I was facing this issue as well and when I Googled around, I found that other people were running into this as well and was in-fact caused by the Twitter app.
Cappy Still Won't Play MP3s.

I found that answer too but, fortunately or unfortunately, I don't have the twitter app and never have had the twitter app.
Is it possible to bump this problem/error to the Team Phoenix Devs?
Just to restate the problem: My phone refuses to play mp3's. Since Phoenix Rising Froyo Roms (using Speedmod kernels) to Mosaic III (using X-cal's 1.2 no voodoo reorient jvh kernel) I cannot play my non-drm mp3 music collection stored on my external sd card. The error says "sorry, the player does not support this audio file" or something like that. I've only used Team Phoenix Roms. I've searched far and wide on the Internet, I've reformatted my SD card, installed different music apps, uninstalled and reinstalled music apps, changed the mp3 ID3 tags on iTunes, tried an mp3tagger on the phone, reinstalled Adobe Flash 10.3, cleared music app caches, rebooted, deleted and reloaded the music all to no avail.
Is there something i have not tried? Can Team Phoenix help solve this dilemma?
Short Mp3 ringtones also do not work. :-(
This seems to happen to my youtube app also. Just stops playing videos and phone needs a restart... So I can't listen to music or watch youtube videos.. happening at least once a day now..
For Music:
Try switching your id3 tags to v2.3. I had v2.4, switched to v2.1 when this problem occurred only to discover that only old Android releases had problems with v2.3. (I'm led to believe Android still has problems with v2.4.) I now hear v2.3 should be read.
Based on this message from Apr 11, 2010, on the official Android open issues debugger list, several users reported improved functionality after employing the following: After switching tags, Go to Menu, Settings, Applications, Manage Applications, Options Filter All, Media Storage, Clear Data, Power off the phone, power on the phone.
Youtube: I'm sure you have done this but have you tried different versions of Adobe Flash (latest version 10.3, available in Market) and uninstalling twitter (if you have twitter installed)? Did you clear youtube's memory cache, uninstall, reboot, and reinstall?
Hope something here works for someone. I haven't be able to try the music suggestions yet.
Captivate - Mosaic III
Progress!
Update:
So I decided to go back to a music syncing program to see if that would solve the problem of making the music playable. In particular, I went back to Doubletwist (which was buggy as hell and why I dumped it). So I deleted all of the songs from Android, deleted the media storage cache, deleted the old library file restored in Double Twist, and synched as outlined above.
Result: Roughly 60 - 70% of the music works! The syncing took nearly 12 hours to load 20GBs of music. When I would simply "transfer" it by selecting and dragging, it would take 3 hrs. Unfortunately there are still 139 unknown artists -- even if songs are from artists with other (if not the same) readable album.
Why do some of the songs play and others do not? Not sure just yet. Will investigate further.
Note: If after syncing Doubletwist, and your playlists don't show up, according to this XDA post I hear a reboot may work.
Again, hope this helps someone.
There is a weird and annoying bug in XXLSC and XXLSZ's stock Music Player (and Google Play Music in XXLSZ).
In XXLSC, all my music was in /sdcard/Music, like it was in ICS (and it was fine there), but the stock Music Player said 'No songs'. Nothing I did (including restarting the app, restarting the phone, renaming the folder to 'music' and 'MUSIC') worked.
A similar problem occurs in XXLSZ. When I turn the phone on, the stock Music Player says 'No songs'. But when I open Google Play Music which is installed by default, 8 of my 12 songs are displayed. When I switch back to the stock Music Player, it also displays the 8 songs. It's really annoying that I can't get all my songs on the app.
What can I do to fix this in XXLSZ?
You can resolve installing Rocket Player, it find all media
