Hi all!
I'm a new member of the forum but I've lurked here before for assistance with my devices. I recently had some misadventures with flashing a Dell Streak 7 but was able to recover with help from various posts I found here.
I'm now running a stock Honeycomb (build 21700) DS7 and am seeing some odd behavior during video playback. Specifically, several players I downloaded from the market will drop the audio after about a minute. Stopping and resuming playback brings the audio back, as will jumping to another point in the video but it will stop again quickly. Video playback continues without issue.
The apps I tried are DoubleTwist, MoboPlayer, and mVideoPlayer. The behavior of all three is the same. (I had tested all three using stock Froyo and all three would actually stop playback after about a minute.)
The files in question are DVD resolution (720x400) MKV, video encoded with H.264/AVC at about 1000kbps, audio encoded with AAC. These were created with Handbrake using a modified preset (DVD High Profile, with resolution settings changed but encoding options unchanged). Some files are transcodes from 720p source files, others are DVD rips. I picked 720x400 since that approximates the DS7's resolution and minimizes the file size.
These files play fine on a Galaxy Tab running stock Froyo, which makes me think the problem is the DS7. I did find another thread that mentioned an app called Dice and that does seem to work, which suggests another cause for the problem.
Has anyone else encountered this problem with a stock HC DS7? I'm debating trying one of the custom ROMs listed here, but I don't know if there's an underlying problem that isn't OS-specific since I've had issues with two different versions of Android. I've tried different memory cards, thinking there might have been a problem with the 64GB SDXC card I originally tested with, but the playback problem occurs with other SD/SDHC cards too. I haven't tried music playback yet, but can do so if it would help find a resolution.
Any help would be appreciated!
i use online player and haven't had a single issue maybe you should try that and i stepped up to honeystreak and love it id recommend it

So yesterday I was playing around and tried to get some porn clips to play on the phone. I downloaded a video (using a greasemonkey script) and then I transfer the .flv to one of the cards.
It says something like: "filetype not admited" ("tipo de archivo no admitido")
Does it have to do with the flash version? I have stock jf3 root and lagfix app.
Youtube is ok, spankwire or xvideos, are not. You can see it's a REALLY SERIOUS problem
However, sgs media player is supposed to get along with .flv right?
Is there a way for this videos (or others .flv) to play on the phone apart from converting?
i had something similar happen to me
but of course mine was an almost 4GB file with surround sound all channels and HD but it was on 720 mkv, but it gave me the same message
now i loaded another similar mkv file but it was only stereo and that worked fine
seems like the phone can't support HD audio
I see. So it probably has to do with the audio then.
I can resemble this situation
Like all original, un-modded Droid owners, I was looking forward to Froyo and Flash player 10.1. Well, it finally got here. Sites now work, (e.g. Kongregate) and others. Works with Youtube and such. Does not work with .flv files, haven't tried .swf files yet, nothing seems to play from the device, AFAIK.
I would speculate that what we see when things do "play" on the device is the streaming variety of the media.

One of these days I will get around to rooting my Droid and my Eris. Someday....
I have similar problem. I´ve downloaded Megavideo application and when I try to play the video from app with stock player (and I beleived that Galaxy S stock player must handle .flv without problems) so it starts to play, but only with black screen and no sound. In Rockplayer or others it works just fine. Any suggestions how to help it? Thanks a lot
I think the best option is to just use RockPlayer for this.
I've tried using video converters but it's not worth it because audio/video quality can suffer or even get messed up badly. RockPlayer is just more convenient and simple.
Hi there. I've had my nook color for about a week, and I'm having quite a problem getting my videos to play with the audio and video properly synced. I've done quite a bit of reading, but I haven't been able to find anything about this, so I'm hoping you fine people will be able to give me a hand here.
The Problem - The video is consistently about a quarter of a second ahead of the video. That is to say, I will hear what's being said/going on before I'll see it. Another interesting phenomenon is that this same issue occurs within Angry Birds, except that the video moves/plays first, and then the audio plays catch up.
About my nc- I rooted using Autonooter, I have working gapps, and my software version is 1.0.0. I have flashed the "Screamer" 950 Mhtz kernel, and most everything seems to be working except for the above mentioned video. Angry
What I've tried - A better question is what I haven't tried. I've tried converting the XviD AVI video files to M4V, I've tried playing from the internal memory, microSD card, and approximately 6 different video players ranging from ArcSoft, to VitalPlayer, to the dreaded VPlayer. All yield the same result with 3 different video files.
So, what do you guys think? Would upgrading to 1.0.1 or even 1.1.0 help with this? Or am I doing something else wrong? Any suggestions are welcome at this point.
Thanks ahead of time.

Are you using Handbrake to format your videos for the Nook Color?
The best format is mp4 with a resolution of 624x352 with the video codec at H.264.
You can download Handbrake here: http://handbrake.fr/
The built-in video player works fine for these videos.
Thanks for the reply.
I was converting videos using Freemake to m4v, and the converter has an Android preset. These playback just fine on my computer. As soon as I move them to the nook, playback is out of sync.
Do you think it would make any differnce to update to 1.0.1 or 1.1.0?
Hi guys, I have searched about the video playback capability of nook color.
I found information that has been posted since december but i am not sure if there are any changes since then. Can nook color play avi and m4v now? without the conversion?
And is adobe flash available for it right now as its already on 2.2?
I seems like I can't get information about it and all i got was about the flashing of nook color. and videos of nook color.
please enlighten me. i am currently so tempted to buy nook color.
Currently video playback is very limited, and hardly any formats are supported. As for flash, it is supported somewhat on the Froyo 2.2 builds for the Nook Color, however, it is still recommended that you run those from the sdcard as the EMMC builds are still highly unstable. With the current progression on Stock, Froyo, and even Honeycomb, we can only guess that flash and video support is right around the corner, especially once A3.0 becomes AOSP.
I use radtools or mcebuddy for batch conversion to vanilla mp4. Works great
NC via XDA
rockplayer in the market will play avi's and what not
thanks for the replies guys!
was thinking of buying it already but it seems like there are no stock on bestbuy.com .
stock seems to be available at B&N but bestbuy gives a free cover.
but bestbuy gotta wait for around 2 weeks! !
I use handbrake (free) to transcode movies to mp4 which plays beautifully on the nook
Alsos use mVideoPlayer which also supports import of subtitle files

i tried to get a nook color through a online store.
But: its out of stock everywhere: b&n, bestbuy, wallmart, booksamillion. even if they say that its in stock, it wont be until the 15.2.
you can try at ebay.com or amazon.com...,
Yeah, be careful with the online inventory counts from Bestbuy and Walmart. Sometimes they say they have units on hand and they don't. I've even heard about people calling into Barnes & Noble and the "kids" that work there said they had several and it turns out they were sold out for days.
guys, try this : VitalPlayer. It's free and it's the best one I've ever had in the market.
It can play avi, mkv,wmv,mp4 as such, the best thing is: its software decoding is SOOOOOOO good. If you just play some videos not in HD resolution, this tool can give you almost no lag, no sound delay experience.
Try it and you'll like it just like me.
I have tried Rockplayer, VPlayer, XYZ, and VirtualPlayer. With all of them my AVI files have the audio out of sync. I tried to convert the AVI's to MP4 with DVDFab and the audio was still out of sync. What program will definitely convert from AVI to MP4 while keeping the audio and video in sync?
Handbrake, without a doubt the easiest and best quality IMO.
I too have tried other video players and have seen audio sync issues with them. Using the built in gallery app on my stock rooted nook though video playback is perfect. I have bluray rips of a few select faves for my son on my nook, specifically coded at 854 pixels wide with constant quality set to 20 and they look fantastic on the nook's standard video player but skip and drop frames on vplayer or rock player regardless of what kernel I run (stock 800mhz or overclocked). I haven't tried playback using vplayer or rock in Nookie Froyo yet, maybe I'll try that tonight.
Same here - I have had no luck with any of the other media players.

If you do, please post findings…thanks…
Cool, was looking for mkv playback...will check out vitalplayer.

Did you try your AVI in your PC? A lot of times, the video file itself may be out-of-sync. In that case, no matter how you convert it, it won't work.
The AVI files play fine on my Archos 70 using RockPlayer.

Played around a little more last night and confirmed that for me playback of my mp4 h.264 videos encoded to meet nook specs play flawlessly in the standard player in eclair and the nookie froyo 0.68 image. Playback in vplayer or rockplayer suffers audio sync issues due to dropped frames though I noted that playback of video in vplayer in froyo was much better than in eclair.
I'm really wondering how it is people are getting flawless playback in vplayer. I expected to see it in froyo seeing as I was using a clean SD card boot image (latest distro) .
Its not a huge deal for me since the stock video player plays well but it does mean having to re-encode my fave TV shows from xvid avi to h.264 mp4 before loading them onto the nook.

The Nook Gallery seems to be the only thing that will playback videos without a video/audio sync problem. I use VideoReo to re-encode my videos into a h.264 format for Android phones. They look great on the Nook. VideoRedo is pretty expensive (I use it for converting .tivo videos) but it is a Cadillac. Handbrake is supposed to be a good free alternative.
Is there any way to get the stock Google Gallery app from Eclair onto a V1.1 rooted Nook?
I'm running brianf21's 0.6.7 Nookie 2.2 image off of the SD card. Flash wasn't working in browser so I uninstalled Flash 10.1 in the market, rebooted, and re-installed.
Embedded youtube videos now working in the browser.
From his thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=922324) the only thing I could see was reported success with 0.5.9 so hope this is helpful.
Handbreak.
Anyone else having a problem with streaming media since the update to Prior to that it was perfect, but since then, I can't get a single video to play.
Have read around regarding this issue and in the end it looks like a codec issue. It's solved by installing a video player (Mobo Player), but given the default gallery can't hand off to an external player, you're somewhat forced to get a DLNA/UPnP App too (UPnPlay) to find the media. Hopefully there'll be a way to streamline it. Two Apps to do something that we could do on stock Froyo seems a bit much.
Try Twonky Server.
This works in both directions and I have no problems with it.
I'm trying to upload (to Instagram) some videos I took using a digital camera and the sound isn't working within the Android system. I have tried downloading from Google Photos (where the sound works when streaming), and uploading via USB, neither have produced sound.
The sound will not work in any apps I've tried including Google Photos and Instagram. Remuxing into .mp4 or .mkv doesn't help the situation, there is still no audio in the android system. I'm trying to avoid having to demux and convert the audio to another format.
Has anyone had this issue before? Searching around isn't giving me any results. Using videos from this digital camera has worked for me up until fairly recently, within the last year IIRC. I can't change the camera settings to encode audio in another format, it currently captures it in "PCM S16 LE (sowt)."
Running stock 7.1.1 (N6F27H), Magisk 12, elementalX, TWRP. Digital Camera is a Fujifilm Finepix F750exr.
.mov files are difficult on many devices. Have you tried playing in in VLC for android? If that app won't play it, it isn't going to be played on android ?
Converting the container (.mov to .mp4) won't help unless the audio format is converted as well.

Interestingly enough, the audio plays in VLC, but it is very laggy/stuttery. I don't suppose there's a way to (excuse me if this is stupid) add/update codecs in Android? I swear this used to work fine but something must have updated/changed.
VLC may use Android libraries for the most common video formats, but it contains the rest within the app. MOV files I believe aren't common enough to have built-in Android support, so you might want to look into beta versions of VLC, as they may fix your issues. At the same time, see if another app is interfering with playback.

How can I determine if another app is interfering with playback?
If you're rooted, install a logcat reader like Logcat Extreme and run it at the same time you run the movie. After the movie has played, check the Logcat.
I don't know if you're running Windows or not, but I would look for a version of the video that is more compatible with both the PC and the device. I had a problem with a few of my old MOV files on my PC not having sound in Media Player Classic HomeCinema. I ended up replacing those files with AVI versions that I found online.
Cool, I'll set up the log in a bit and look around.
This is unfortunately the format that my old digital camera outputs into. It might just be time to look for a new one.

Look for a converter. But, you have a new camera. The N6 can do video.
