[Q] ICS video player not responding - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys ,
Last day i Noticed a very strange problem in SGN running on INdian Official Ics rom DDLP8.
A no of videos Mkv format which used to play perfectly fine in GB are not playing on ICS And show message "Video has stopped Responding."
To chk whether the prob was of the rom only i reloaded my sd card and chkd again but to no use ......and SAME RESILT.
Finally i rolled back to GB DDLC1 INU to chk whether GB played it fine or not and it played them superbly.
Wat shud i do ????
I WANNA remain on ICS coz of
1)Multiple account addition in Tak
2)Smooth ui of Gmail
3)SMOOTH TRANSITIONS of browser and overall Ui
4)Apex launcher
But dont wanna loose some of my fav videos .
Is there any way out ??? Thumbnails also are not visible in Videos >Folder view >Inside Many Folders
IS ANY ONE ELSE FACING SUCH PROBLEM ???? pls help

Since the ICS update for our Galaxy Notes is still a prototype and not the full OS they have not added the source code to play any video formats other than AVI, so for now your options,
Stay on GB
Convert your videos to AVI or download them in AVI
Or use this app called MX Player on ICS (not sure if this works).
But for now the stock video player on ICS cannot play any other format until another update.

+ 1 for mx player.....
I am using it.... No issues

Mkv format
Thanks for reply .... Its not the problem with all videos.
max mkv FORMAT videos are being played smoothly but 30% are giving "Video player stopped responding error "
If all wud have not played thn it was understandable but its ony FEW videos which give error and they play fine on Ginger Bread 2.3.6
Any ideas will this problem be eradicated in Next update of ICS.
I hope they work it out.
XDA pls find some solution ....... ONLY U PEOPLE CAN FIND WHY IS THIS HAPPENING ?????

Well as I said other source codes aren't added yet, only some MKV videos can be played maybe because of the the different encoding, but either ways it will be fixed soon but for now you can use MX player on ICS, have fun!!

Where do I get the great stock Samsung video player for ICS4 ?

I've been searching and reading for quite a while and haven't seen any mention any where of getting the stock Samsung video player that will work with ICS4.0 rom.
I tried installing the stock Samsung Froyo 2.2 apk on my Galaxy S Captivate that has a ICS 4 rom installed but the install failed and I'm left with no video player at all....
I want the stock Samsung player because it is head and shoulders better than ALL other video players. It will play back 720p .mkv files with out a single hitch or glitch, super smooth and perfect, nothing else even comes close to it in performance...
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Won't work on ics. The framework is different. Try rock player
QQ player is pretty solid as well. It plays almost every format imaginable.
Did Samsung include a version for the Galaxy Nexus stock ICS? You could take a look there and extract it. See if that works.
Thanks for the suggestion of finding a stock ICS4 to check, I found one, but can't figure out how to extract the apk files from the system.img file ????
Here. I found a CWM zip for Galaxy Nexus and pulled the videos.apk. Hope this works for you.

Thank you very much for the file, the phone I was originally working on this on is gone to a new home, but I've got another one here I'm experimenting on too, just now researching the best path to follow to get it from i896 Rogers Canada stock 2.1update firmware to ICS with good video playback working....
thanks for the video.apk but it just show the available videos do not play them
If anyone else is following this at all, there IS a native video player in the current ICS I have loaded, but it isn't the same as the previous native players, its much worse. The video is smooth for HD MKV, but there is no sound, so obviously it uses hardware acceleration properly for video, but can't do hardware video acceleration and software audio decoding simultaneously like the excellent native player that was included with previous versions.
Is there any way to use the previous native player with ICS ? Can it be "converted" or anything like that ?
Thanks.

Try running the same video files in other players like MX player & see if its giving the same error...then we will get to know if the problem is with the video player or something else...
Yes i tried with the mxplayer too, its not giving the messsage "unable to play video" but screen goes blank instead of that message......
Which means the same......
What can i do?

[Q] 4.3 - No longer plays video files

Hi guys,
I updated my Nexus 7 to 4.3 today and I'm now no longer able to play my previously working video files. I've used both VLC and AVP, the file plays but I get sound only and no picture.
The thumbnails for the files are displaying correctly. These are movies in .mkv and .avi format which used to work with no problems.
Has anyone else experienced this and do you think it may be a 4.3 issue or perhaps an app compatibility problem with the new Android version?
Thanks.

It isn't just you. A number of video players are not functional with 4.3. All you can do is review them in the play store and tell them. I am sure most of the App Devs are probably aware of this, but who knows...
This also happened from 4.1.2 to 4.2, just wait a day and it will be fixed by app updates

This is true, but most were a couple of weeks to be re-coded, including MX Player. What is funny is that right after I installed 4.3, MX player and a couple of others worked for a few hours then I got the Unsupported Android Version. I thought that was rather odd...
Cheers guys, I figured as much. Just wanted to make sure nothing got botched along the way!
Thanks for the replies.

Vplayer now supports 4.3
Videos in some games are tiny for me too, meh.
The stock video player still works of course, even for mkv files. Except no subtitles and it can't play hi10p.
Just found out I now prefer Vplayer to MX Player.
Ive always looked no further than MX cause I thought it was the best, now that Vplayer has had an update for 4.3 I tried it and like it very much. Very similar to MX but much more appealing.
