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.
I am having a problem watching videos on my Hero, using CM7. I can watch videos that I record wihuot a problem, but if I go to a local news station website (using opera) and try to play a video (a newscast segment), I get an error. I have tried using the stock video player, ACT 1, and V player. An example of the website where this problem occurs is krqe.com.
What am I do wrong? Any ideas or suggestions appreciated! Thanks!

I am running hero-deck-1.2x ROM and I tested on this morning's video. It loaded fine for me using the stock browser. I am just informing, I really don't have any suggestions to try as I am not running CM7. Hero-deck has some of the CM features so it might be a possible alternate for you.
Currently I have a problem plqying all formats of videos such as flv,mp4,avi etcetc. It says sorry, video cannot be played. Why is that so? Any way to play the video? But sometimes it can play those formats.

I've had a lot of problems after removing the drm samsung apps. When I freeze with titanium its fine but removing them really screws up media playback. Idk if you've done that but thats my 10 cents.

Moboplayer on the market works good u can try to play the video with that
Have you tried restarting your tab ?
I experienced those issues on DXJPE if i let it run for more than 1 day without reboot
this requirement of reboot has driven me nuts and started rooting and flashing endlessly.
yes, i also try the moboplayer, it's pretty good, and you can try rockplayer and vplayer,they are also great. but i find HD mkv files can't play on rockplayer, and play on the vplayer unsmoothly.
and maybe you can try some video converter, then convert your video to the right format.
My Tab plays ripped blu-rays perfectly fine (mp4 format). Look at signature for Tab details. I agree with poster above...restore!
my tab can play bluray rip 720/1080p mkv/mp4/wmv thru stock/mobo player without problem...
mobo is the best replace for the stock player which can streaming mp4 too..
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?
Hi
I have a galaxy S i9000 with cyanogenmod 9 on it.
I'm having problems running avi files, when I try to play some film or anything avi it plays the sound but no image!!! Sometimes the video nor even open.
i've tried with a lot of players like Mxplayer but still doesnt work..
PLEASE!! I NEED HELP!!
Try dice or bs player.
Best Player -> RockPlayer
If you are trying to play videos from gallery, there might be problem like this... just play it straight from mx player app, it should work fine
I've had this problem on all ics roms too. I have not found a solution. Tried all the players in the store.
