Since 2.2 nexus one cannot play mp4 videos

Well I had 2 mp4 videos previously on my sd card and they played nice from the gallery in 2.1 but since i updated... the phone says " this video cant be played"
Anyone else with this problem?
Any solution?
thanks in advance

you worried me there since i never attempted to play any videos since my manual update to froyo from stock att yesterday.
my mp4s still played.
i was on unrooted att update 1 stock. just manually flashed frf85b yesterday and it still works for me on the gallery.
hope you are able to sort your problem out.

you probably used the wrong video codec when you compressed it.

dont think so those same videos were previosly playable on 2.1!
@antikryst thanks
any ideas anyone? anyone else with the same problem?
my nexus is an at&t stock by the way

Yes, my phone too has the same problem. I had few files which stopped playing since 2.2 update. That said, I downloaded another mp4 file and my Nexus One played it perfectly fine. Weird.

are you on the new radio? the new radio has different codecs...

Same problem here man. I have about 11 movie's on my phone + every episode of King of the Hill. King of the Hill is rmvb so I use RockPlayer for those. When I go to the gallery in my videos folder it shows my 11 movies 5 of them have thumbnails and play and then there is the others that don't have thumbnails and don't play but the weird thing is I used the same converter for all of them and the same converter settings and they all played on 2.1 but now only 5 out of 11 do. Weird stuff

Get RockPlayer. It owns.

No it Rocks

I've got the same problem on my nexus one. I can't play most mp4 files and other stuff anymore. RockPlayer is not bad but the video decoding engine of RockPlayer does need more energy as the internal one.
Also rockplayer does not support streaming, so rtsp:// links don't work anymore.
Another issue is with the twitter and twitvid website. It will server a mp4 file (twitvid) of which the system player is capable of playing. RockPlayer is not available to play these files after opening through the twitter client.
I would be very happy about any tip to debug this problem.
Things I tried so far with no success:
Delete cache and data of:
* Gallery
* Mediastore
* Meridian
* RockPlayer
* YouTube

paul ics 02 youtube problem

when video is playing it is only 2 or 3 pictures per secund.
It 's to laggy to watch.

Video decoder is not working (properly). That's why all videos lag.

It's said in the first or second post-I don't remember exactly- that video decoder doesn't work.This also means that you can't play videos you import in your phone (in the sd card for example) as well.I think.

Same happens to me

Video works for me
I installed "Mobo" player and chose soft decoding in it.
So video works for me

I was actually answering Vicky26 on importing video to sd card...mobo works fine there....for streaming if you somehow get the streaming link, there is an option in menu of the player for streaming. I somehow made it work using default manager, setting streaming default as mobo....copying link url by long pressing video in browser and re-pasting it in the browser.....so when you zoom in...you see two play video icons(arrow), one of them opens the video in mobo

Thanx!I actually switched back to my GingerDX because of some other problems I also had, but I will try this as soon as I install Paul's rom again

[Q] Audio and video are out of sync

I am using Zeus 6.11n. All videos are out of sync about 0.3-0.4 sec. Am I the only one with this problem and is there a fix?

out of sync when... watching at phone? transfer and watch at pc/laptop? uploaded and watch at youtube??
One thing I can tell you is, I don't know why but when I upload directly to youtube it say something like "sound could be out of sync" or something like that... so before I upload a video I use a video converter to make it avi or mpg or whatever [original video file is 3gp] and the upload it to youtube and is good to go

Every video I watch on my phone is out of sync. I watch it on my PC and it is fine. When I transfer it to my phone it goes out of sync. Even youtube videos are out of sync.

What video player are you using? Are you using a hard-decoder or soft-decoder?
I had the EXACT same problem when i was trying to watch a highly compressed mkv through moboplayer and mx video player.

I trie using MX Player, Mobo Player and even the stock LG Player, using HW decoding. I get the exact same result. I tried the same video on my Optimus ONE but there it works fine. I will try software decoding and edit this post.
EDIT: It is the same using software decoding.

Try to reflash your device and if it doesn't work download a fresh patch of the rom again and flash it............

Tried reflashing. Even tried flashing other rom. It seems to have fixed itself when i flashed cyanogenmod RC1. Every rom based on the stock one seems to have that problem.

Try moving them to the internal memory as sometimes sd cards do that (especially slow ones such as the one included with the phone) see what happens and report back. Try withthem on the sd of the other phone u have and see also. Last but not least try with lower res vids to see what happens. If all fail send it to lg and see what they reply.

I had similar problems before changed my sd card with class 10. Also dumped Mobo player and now use BS player. No problems now.

I have bad sync in every long videos recorded with my OB in any rom.
SD problem maybe?

*EDIT:
Ok have discovered, that after reflashing RC 4.2, i don't have default galaxy s video player, I couldn't play my videos in gallery or in games(game fc when movie about to start). I have tryed with 5 other players, but videos are laggy, I make them default and youtube still doesn't recognized...this is frustrated...siriously I tryed flashing over it(deleted cache, dalvik), and same with no default galaxy video player.
Anyone know any video player that 100% works like default?

If anyone have similiar problem download new video player.
I am using DICE player(free), it is far best video player for 4.0, I tryed othees but i had lag issue or didnt respond.

For some reason the default video player cannot stream to DLNA (at least mine doesn't). Grab iMediaShare from Play Store, works like a charm. The paid version lets you even stream videos directly from YouTube!
Hope that helps.

Thanks for Reply

Thanks for the reply, but this doesn't work for me, why does the standard video player not work it's ridiculous don't you think, they include a feature on a high end device that isn't working.

??????
Still no answers for this?????

Got the same problem
I got the same problem when trying to stream any video I recorded with my HTC to XBMC-DLNA player through the stock video player. Other players seem to do the work with no issues. Any news on this?

same here. imediashare is working, htc player not working, htc lies about dlna in the spec.
