Can't play video eclair or froyo - Nook Color General

Hey everyone,
I recently went back to stock rooted and got the usual rockplayer and tried playing an avi video. It said video cannot be opened. I have played the same video before on same stock root. So I tried another avi file and same thing. I thought maybe something wrong with root or eclair or just whatever. So I flashed froyo 0.6.8 and same thing, tried multiple different players and still cannot play video. Anyone know what is going on? Videos are on SD card and I've played them before.
Thanks,
General

Anything would be great :/
Edit: Tried honeycomb V4 and same thing

Choppyness and Sluggish FPS with CorePlayer

First of i would like to say their really should be a new sticky for tcpmp problems and even people who have upgraded to coreplayer and are STILL having sluggish slow fps problems. i completly abandoned tcpmp player...period because of all this.
So i have the newest version of coreplayer now, i went ahead and got it because tcpmp is now idle and useless with the new 6.1 professional obviously...and if some of you have tcpmp working you are very LUCKY.
So anyway tcpmp was very sluggish fps and choppy, so i went ahead and got with coreplayer, and ive noticed with the upgrade.. it is SLIGHTLY...and i mean SLIGHTLY better in video playback and picture quality then tcpmp...i have HTC ca drivers installed, all the test run fine...i even tried to the samsung drivers....so since i noticed a slight improvement with coreplayer in watching my avis and mpeg4's videos and movies(dvd rips)...so i know...its gotta be my settings....
I used to be able to watch crystal clear movies, videos through avi and mpeg4 on WM 6.0, i only started having these problems with upgrading to 6.1 professional. Youtube still plays fine but im just getting low fps and sluggish response on videos with coreplayer...so does anybody have a set of settings that works perfectly fine and you can watch dvd rip movies and such crystal clear? plz post your buffer settings and anything else that may help some of us...
I guess nobody knows...I mean all the threaads I've read have been people convert videos down to screen resolution......so then theirs no choppy ness in coreplayer...but with wm 6.0 orwith tcpmp also when I watched riped dvds sent from my computer, I never hd to do this and all my movies were crytal clear.....why all of a sudden I have to start converting movies now? is there something wrong with 6.1 cooked roms? should we all d/l att 6.1 cuz its real 6.1 instead of cooked ones and maybe nobody will have have bugs with all these other roms
I have similar problem before, but ever since I converted all my video files to FLV extension, the problem's gone.
I've been using the upgraded version of Coreplayer for months and haven't had a problem with it.
I have it installed on my storage card.
The only quirk I've found, is that if you plug your storage card into your computer to copy files (I do this with Vista, so maybe it's a Vista thing), it'll try to defrag the card and it hoses up the software on it.
You could try a master reset on your phone and reinstall Coreplayer. That may improve your framerate.
I seriously don't have a framerate problem (unless I play HUGE files that are 1024x768, it's choppy with those). I have several videos that I've downloaded from the 'net and I copy them to my phone and play them, without converting them. Average video size is 35mb.
I'm thinking it may be something else in your phone thats causing the lag. When was the last time you actually shut it off and turned it back on?

[Q] Problem with YouTube video playback

Hello,
Suddenly I have a problem with YouTube video playback. The videos start streaming ok, but the appear small (not fullscreen) and very low quality. It used to work fine. The locally recorded videos play nice even in 720p. The problem is with the streaming video player.
I installed the LagFix (which works miracles) at somepoint earlier. Do you think that this could cause this problem? Any one else has seen it?
Thanks,
Michael

Audio / Video Sync Issue in avi/mkv Files and Youtube

Hello,
I have already seen on the forum that many people complained about the audio and
video sync problem. I have tried Docs and Darkys ROMs but no chance. There is
always a 0.5 sec difference between sound and video. Tried different players.
Could someone please confirm that this is a widespread issue with Froyo 2.2 or
Is it just a faulty device problem ? I would love to find an answer to this question.
Or even is there anyone playing avi files or youtube videos without any sync issue ?
Thanks.
(Also seen this problem in HTC forums thats why i suspect that the issue is related
to the OS.)
I would guess that its more like faulty or incompatible video file formats .
That is the general reason why many phones have difficulty with some videos .
The only way to test is to take a file from a clean source and of the required format that your phone is supposed to play .
Or even is there anyone playing avi files or youtube videos without any sync issue
Answer = yes the vast majority are .
Just checked Stream from Youtube perfect sound .
Streaming is a function of your internet connection .
Playback saved HD Nasa video clip again perfect .

Well, recorded few videos with my phone to check sound sync. Turns out the files
play completely in sync on my computer but they are out of sync by 0.5 sec when
I play them on my phone. Have seen many ppl in various forums with this issue but
was not able to find a solution bah
works well previously on 2.1 but not on 2.2....
HD MKV plays fine over BlueTooth or via speaker, same with recorded videos or anything video.
Have you tried just rebooting the device and having nothing running in the background?
I tried everything from flashing 2.1, 2.2, 2.2.1 to hard reseting. Nothing works.
Even youtube videos are not in sync. There is a delay of 400ms between sound
and video.
As its not a widespread issue it suggest something wrong with your phone .
Hardware you would need to go back to the seller/service centre .
You could try going back to Eclair problem still then its hardware wiping all data a formatting phone and having no apps on to test .
Test file download a video from

[Q] Rooted stock 1.1 - Sound out of sync on Video

I just picked up a Nook and rooted it immediately so I could watch video on it. Right now I am just running Stock 1.1. I have some video files in .AVI format that I want to watch on it, but while the video is pretty smooth, the sound is totally out of sync by 1-3 seconds it seems.
I have tried RockPlayer which trashes the video and still has the sync issue. Using Software decode mode as the Hardware mode doesn't work.
Vitalplayer's video (again software) is virtually perfect, but the audio is still out of sync.
Mvideoplayer doesn't work at all, probably due to no codecs being installed on the device.
So my question is this: Is there a way to fix it? Reading through ROM threads it seems that none of them really have video playing nailed down. CM7 says to use Rockplayer as a workaround (uses FFMpeg), but if it doesn't even work on stock, what are the chances it will work in that?
Any ideas?
Thanks
I have the same problem.
I haven't tried this on 1.1, but on 1.0.1 I ran the videos through Handbrake using some of the settings suggested in the thread below and that seemed to help.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=894165
Was hoping that performance with Rockplayer would be good enough to not have to do that. I have the settings for HB and will try them tonight.
Now if CM7 could just get DSP and codecs this might be a non-issue.

I use Handbrake and use the ipod touch setting. It works great - sound is in sync with video. NC 1.1 rooted with Auto-nooter 3.0.0
Thanks for the help everyone. Using the Handbrake settings that I was pointed at was the perfect solution. Ran a Fringe episode through and watched it on the train this morning.
Everything perfectly in sync.
Thanks again.
Alternative Approach
I am using a dual boot. The standard video player on the NookColor works very well.

Downloaded Video Keeps Stopping

Dear all,
Does anyone have any problems with local videos keep being stopped. It does not pause or whatever and the phone is not frozen. I would have to switch app and back again for the video to start working again. It is not on streaming. Video is downloaded.
Initially i thought there was a problem with my MX player pro and so i tried Samsung default video player as well and it still keeps doing that. My s10 is updated to the latest version and is not rooted.
Any advice would be welcoming please. I even did a factory reset and still the same problem persists.
Videos on the sd card or no?
Nope. Video is on internal drive not sd card. And also all optimizations are off for Samsung Video Player and MX pro
