Videos will not play - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Video's I previously taken with my camera will not play, youtube just displays a blank screen and any other mp4 videos no longer work.
I'm running Team Nyx RC5 and before that TeamICS RC4, video's used to play and I haven't changed anything. Trying to record video from the camera crashes the camera app.
Anyone any ideas? It's like the codecs don't exist anymore

i have the same problem. have not found nay solutions. kinda just gave up. im not going back to GB.

Coreplayer YouTube not working?

YouTube works fine in Opera and the Streaming Manager app but in Coreplayer Mobile it just constantly brings up the loading symbol when selecting a video.
Anyone else have this or know a fix? I am on Jacks 1.3 Lite ROM with the YouTube registry fix installed.
That's strange. Youtube works for me in Coreplayer. I am also using Jack's Lite Rom 1.03. I did not try if it works in Opera though.
You got to activate networkaccess in corplayersettings for youtube

It is ticked already
I can't get Youtube to work in Streaming Media
Have you tried ticking flv box in the file extensions/
I got an email from CorePlayer makers saying there is a bug and they are fixing it in the next release
I have come across a problem with Coreplayer and its YouTube, so I have decided to use this thread instead of starting my own using the same title.
Coreplayer plays YouTube movies. No problem with that, even more it plays them in excelent quality (setting h264 medium quality, flv high bandwidth). But for some reason it cannot stop them. When the video is over the loading sign (rotating circle) appears and the screen freezes. After a couple of seconds I hear audio as if the video started to play all over again, but the screen is still frozen on that last frame. When I press any button the audio stops as well and that is that. There is no other solution than removing the battery, which annoys me greatly.
Does any of you have the same problem and have you been able to solve it? Coreplayer plays youtube with the highest quality by farand would really like to see it work properly.
Anybody else with this wierd Youtube problem?
Except that it freezes my phone like, every 5 minutes, it works fine i guess.
Too bad I have to reset my phone every time, because if i wouldnt had to, it would be a good piece of software.
Using Coreplayer 1.3 btw.
Well I am pretty disapointed as well. The video playback of original divx files is jerky and if I have to encode I might as well encode to a file media panel recognises. And now the youtube thing. There are still podcasts, I hope I will not come across a problem there.
huh?
i dont get it... my coreplayer plays youtube great, and divx great... i did have the youtube option dissapear mysteriously, but i re-enabled it in the network setting and its worked great ever since...
ive watched 2 movies in divx - one was a fast paced action movie and it played absolutely perfectly the whole time. maybe you need to have certain settings ticked, or maybe the fact that ive used the various tweaks in this forum to speed up my sd card, and to optimize my cache settings and such is helping...
more info may help resolve this...unfortunately i dont know much technical jargon.. i fiddle until things work.
I got my core working again with an update, but the standalone youtube player and panel is MUCH easier and better to use.
Hi, i work with an HTC Touch Pro 2 and on it with the newest CorePlayer. But i can not watch any Youtube Videos. I can search, and browse the different categories. But when i want to start a video the player gets back to the starting screen.
The "normal" video playback works fine.
Why? Anybody else with this problem?
PS: I have activated the network settings.
Youtube has made a change to how their protocol works. CoreCodec knows about the isue and they said they have alreay fixed it on an internal build. Sadly we will probably have to wait a very long time for the fix to be released.
here, some videos work, some others not, like the 70% of them, just try to open but stop downloading without image
Anybody else getting this problem again?Youtube videos stopped playing for me since tuesday,i'm running coreplayer 1.3.6 windows mobile.
Yes same her, my CorePlayer 1.3.6 stopped playing Youtube end of July.
Is there any update out there?
Yep, doesn't work...lame

YouTube clips play back with sound only

I am using the latest ADS_Magpie Gingerbread ROM with my 32B G1. Installed the latest YouTube app from the market and I can only get sound from the clips. The video is blank/black. I tried YouTube back when my G1 was still using the official 1.6 ROM and had the same problem.
Is this a known problem for G1?
Turn off the HQ option. YouTube has upped the resolution on the HQ streams and they no longer play in the YouTube app on G1. Older videos should stick work however.
Thanks. I will try to see if that's the case.
Facebook video plays OK. BTW.

[Q] Help with uploading video

I recorded my best mates best man speech at a wedding using out LG 02x running CM7, thouhgt id do it on the best quality, so i have a 5 minute m4v video at 1080p 29fps.
MY trouble is that i cant upload it to youtube, when ive tried it always fails, so am assuming its because youtube doesnt like the m4v file, so ive converted it to a few different file types, and then ive uploaded these to youtube, this all works fine, but my problem is that when it converts the video, it changes the FPS to either 25, or 29.97? so the audio gets out of sync.
Does anyone know how to overcome this?

Youtube plays videos in 240P.

Is it just me or is everyone unable to play videos in the usual 360p quality. I only get 240p videos even though I have enabled HQ playback.
NVM, found it 3 seconds after clicking post.
Go to Themes and Apps section. Someone has already found a fix.

Video recorded with Smooth Motion playback is distorted.

Hey everyone.
I have the Bell (Canadian) note 3 and I just tried the smooth motion video recording. Very neat, but the playback is very garbled and distorted. When I play it on my PC it's fine.. Could this be a flaw in the phone that could cause issues?
Anyone else have or hear about this?

I resolved it. Turns out another video playback app was set as default and it cannot handle the video. Only stock samsung app is able.
Works great now.
Video playback on android is where video playback on PC was a decade and change ago: A maze of incompatible codecs and video playback tools, and nowhere is there any decent explanation of how the whole mess is supposed to work together or why it sucks so much.
It was just as bad on PCs before. I remember having to have like half a dozen different video players, because each one could handle some - but not all - video formats. And you couldn't rely on file associations either (as is the case on android today), because all the video formats that we talk about are just "containers", which can contain video data encoded with any of a number of different codecs. So you can't say "Play the .mp4's with this player, the .wmv's with the other player" - but that's the level that file associations work on.
Suffice to say, my experience with making my existing video library play on android has been very frustrating, and there are still numerous videos that play fine on windows which I haven't been able to play on android. Naturally, just like on windows in the dark ages, none of the players provide useful feedback on what went wrong - a failure results in black screens, or no sound, or a force close, or occasionally a useless error. God forbid they say something like "the required codec ______ is not available", so I'd know what I needed to look for. Is there a reason for this? Who knows?!
It probably doesn't help that google has a financial interest in it being difficult to play video from sources other than their Google Play Movies store and Youtube.
