Can't play any video on my Nexus one

I'm having troubles playing video's of any kind on my Nexus one. For example in the youtube app the video starts loading but it only shows the first screen and the audio just plays fine. The same thing happens when I want to play a video file in the gallery.
I'm using an official stock rom, the second update I think and my device is rooted. I already tried a soft reset but that didnt work.
Can anyone help me on this?

[Q] Bad youtube quality!!!

Hi,
I was checking the forum, but found no similar topic, so I opened a new one(bit surprised, that nobody noticed this).
So the problem is, that whenever I play a youtube video, it's bad quality! Or at least not as good as 720p. Of course connected to wifi(high quality automatically chosen).
What I did is, I searched on "Crysis HD", and played the "ultra hd" video. It looked okay.
After that I downloaded JetVD, and downloaded the actual video in 720p.
What a difference!!!
So my question is: whenever I'm on wifi, is it possible to play the youtube video in proper quality?

seach youtube hq

I'm not 100% sure what you mean, I searched youtube HQ on google, on market, and on XDA, but found nothing related.
If you mean turn on the "high quality" in the options while playing, it's done. My question is different.

I had been looking for this too, where can I can such an app

All youtube videos that i play look like the worst quality stretched to fullscreen, it's just horrible, when i select menu-> play high quality. it just keeps loading and never starts playing, not on wifi, not on 3G.

Aye. This is it! So somebody knows how to get around this? Obviously it's not hardware restriction, we just need a proper app for this! Maybe somehow use the youtube player that EVO uses?

Many of the custom roms have the YouTube app swaped for the HD version. You should have a look.

Is there any way to somehow get it without a custom rom?

I have no idea sorry.

Do you have the HQ option in your youtube player? PM me your email, I'll email you the APK for installation.

Before I updated to new firmware always had to select "play in high quality" after starting a video but now it does it automatically. Have always had the box ticked.

video set to high quality, the problem is not this.
Roy: sent pm with my email!

No, unfortunately it's still not doing the thing I want.
You might not notice, but there is a big difference between youtube 720p(downloaded to PC, and copied to phone), and youtube HD.
I installed the app, but it does nothing, but moves the HD button from the menu to the onscreen interface. HD quality videos are still not even close to 720p.

[Q] ICS video player not responding

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.

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!!

I have no idea what it could be... You can try to reflash. Maybe there's something wrong with your OS.

[BUG] Some external videos cause complete Video Play subsystem failure until reboot!

I have just opened a bug for Android about video play subsystem failure on Nexus 4! None of my previous Android devices had this problem and this is really bothering me! Anybody else having the same problem?
Android Bug report Link (Please star this if you want it fixed):
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=50814&thanks=50814&ts=1361480369
Problem Description:
I have downloaded a video file to my Nexus 4, opened it in stock Gallery application tried to play it with stock video player and the Gallery Application hanged and crashed! After that, you can't play any video files with the device, not even video files recorded with the device camera. The problem persists until the device is rebooted.
Sometimes, when I open an application that fetches thumbnails of videos (like VidTrim), then without even trying to play the unsupported video file the video play capabilities of the device are completely gone!
You can download a video file that causes this problem from here:

I'm not having that problem. Is it only if you play HD files in .mkv format?

Yes, that is why I'm asking if it's just MKV files.

I don't know if happens only for MKV files. I have other MKV files that does not cause this problem. But this specific file causes the problem %100 on my stock 4.2.2 device.

Can some people with Stock Android 4.2.2 and Nexus 4, try to play the file that I shared and see if the problem occurs?
If the problem occurs, after playing that file, you shouldn't be able to even play videos recorded with your Nexus 4.
Please use the stock video player only for testing.

Wow. Finally! I've got the same problem. Maybe because N4 has minimum codec? I wish 4.3 can solved this.
Edit: In my case, even I can't play YouTube when it happened.

Good to see other people having the issue. It's very annoying.
Can you please "star" the issue so that Google gets notified and fixes it. You can also write a comment under the issue:
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=50814&thanks=50814&ts=1361480369

By the way, YouTube does not work for me too after trying to play that video file.

Yep, i've noticed it in the last month or so, some of the transcoded movies off my plex server cause it and the phone then requires a reboot before it will play anything at all, good to see it hasn't gone unnoticed by others.

Considering "MKV" is really just a container for other codecs, have you tried seeing what the video and audio are encoded in for this file as well as a file you are not having issues with?

Well, I don't know what that will be helpful for? I'm not the one to fix this problem. Google engineers should do that.
Regardless of the video format and codecs, if the format is not supported then it should not cause all the videos subsystem to break down. It should just say its not supported.
By the way, Android 4.3 improved a little bit. Now the problem is not so easily reproducible like in 4.2.2.
