Is there any way to get HTML5 video playback working in the stock browser in any of the CM10.1 derived ROMs and SCHIZOID in particular?
I've never managed to get it working. I used to always get a grey area; if you clicked on it, it'd look like it was to start playing, but it just did as it the playback had finished and showed the replay options, etc.
Surprisingly, a couple of weeks ago I reinstalled SCHIZOID (I think it was the 11JUN build) after a complete wipe and I found out it was working. But after updating to the 01JUL build, it stopped working again. So I tried a clean install of this version. Nothing, still doesn't work. I've even again clean installs of 11JUN and even 07JUN and 02JUN (in case it was one of those the one) to no avail.
It can't be impossible as it was working for a few weeks before the update, but I don't seem to find what it depends on.
Video playback using Flash doesn't seem to work anymore either in these ROMs. There seems to be a problem with the overlays, and although the video is playing and you can hear it, all you can see is a black box.
Can anybody throw any light on this? Thanks.
Nothing? Could someone at least confirm that video playback doesn't work and it's not just me who can't get it working? Cheers!
I was having the same problem with flash, I could hear the video but couldn't see it. I found a work around by accident, I taped the full screen option on the player and in full screen flash video works. Hope that helps if you're still having the problem.

i got this problem on my blueangel
whenever i play some videos on full screen mode (landscape mode) fertical lines tend to appear messing the picture up,
is it because im still using the old wm2003 OS?
will upgrading to WM6 solve this problem?
is this a hardware problem (lcd?)
i also try playing videos using different players such as coreplayer, but same problem occur
even a recorded video from the camera tends to exhibit this when played on the default media player
but when i play back the same video using my PC<. everything is great, no lines or whatsoever
hoping for inputs
thanks

ok sir,. i'll try that,.
i already tried the hard reset, but to no avail,
i'll be upgrading my rom to wm6, i do hope its only a software bug,
i just want to know if some one has the same problem,
i played videos on xda 2 and it played smoothly,. its using the same rom as mine (i think2003)
I've been on CM6 stable since it was released and everything has been peachy.
A week or two ago, though, I fancied trying the korean radio and a new kernel (an intersectraven one) - the first time I've experimented with either. I usually just stay with whatever the ROM comes with.
Now I have discovered my downloaded videos no longer play. Well, they play for about half a second then I get the "Sorry, this video cannot be played" message. Videos taken with the camera play fine.
I thought it might have something to do with the radio or the kernel, so firstly I changed the kernel to the pershoot one that's available in ROM Manager. No success there, so next up was the radio. I downgraded back to 4.06 (not too bad since the korean one didn't offer a significant improvement on data speeds). Unfortunately the videos are still not playing
Will I have to reinstall CM6? If yes, will any of my settings revert to default? I know I would necessarily have to wipe, but I'm worried that even flashing CM6 on top of CM6 without a wipe, it'd wipe all my configurations.
Thanks to anyone who knows how to fix this slight issue.
p.s. whilst typing this out, I've found that Rockplayer still plays them, but I'd still like to get the stock player running them if possible.
I'm sure this is a really common problem, but I can't get any videos to play on YouTube on my HP touchpad with cm10.1. I had the same problem with cm9 and thought cm10.1 might fix it but I was wrong.
Tried finding the answer on these forums but didn't have any luck.
Thanks!!
Do you have any audio problems? I have the same problem but it only happens when the audio stops working (which is a few minutes after rebooting).

No, no audio problems at all and the problem is all the time not just on bootup...
Did you do a dirty install or wipe it clean and start from scratch? I haven't had any issues on mine but I've been doing a clean install each time I upgrade to a higher version.

Clean install, and I had the same problem both on cm9 and on cm10.1
If I remember correctly, I was able to play YouTube videos on cm9 sometimes if I made the settings HQ but on the new YouTube app it doesn't even give me enough time to change the settings. Just immediately doesn't play the video with either an "unsupported video format" or an "action isn't allowed" error.
Hmmm, I haven't heard of any widespread youtube problems. I'm beginning to wonder if it might be a hardware related problem with your tablet. Can you play videos using something else, like MX Player? If so, does it play in hardware mode?

I can play videos in mx player , but hardware mode is a little choppy.
Interestingly, I just tried playing YouTube videos in the browser and it did work fine... So maybe its a problem only with the YouTube app? But why would it only affect my touchpad?
Wow just uninstalled and reinstalled the YouTube app and now it works.
Can't believe it was so simple to solve this problem that I have had for months on two different ROMs...
Thanks for the help guys!
I recently managed to install the latest Mokee rom on my phone, and I must say I am very pleased with it, except for this issues I'm now stuck with: apparently I am completely unable to playback any video on my phone.
At first I tried recording some videos: when I tried to watch them back to check the quality, a popup told me it was unable to play them. I thought that maybe they were not being saved correctly, so I tried to watch them on my pc, but to my surprised they played fine! I tried the opposite process too, playing on the phone videos coming form the pc, and the result was the same disappointing failure in reproducing it.
Then I thought it could be some problem with the default player, so I downloaded VLC from the play store and gave it a go. What happened next surprised me even more, as it would play the first couple of seconds of video before crashing miserably giving an error report log.
I now suspect it has got something to do with the rom itself.
Have you guys got any ideas?

It should be kernel related, that's the same with last audahadi kernel.
Im having what is certainly a stupid problem. This morning I decided to update the touchpad (I think android was originally installed 3+ years ago). I used the guide here and got cm-11-20160314-NIGHTLY-tenderloin installed, everything went swimmingly. This tablet is used exclusively for radio and video in the kitchen and everything seems to work except netflix. More often than not when I start a video it comes up black and white in sort of a jumbled jigsaw puzzle. The audio is fine. I have tried, rebooting, uninstalling, force closing, clearing cache and data, and from the one google product forums thread I found dealing with a similar issue (https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/youtube/3JKWt0rEo5I), clearing both data and cache in chrome as well, to no avail. If I close and reopen the video over and over it sometimes works. Youtube seems to work flawlessly. Im stumped. I hope someone could help with this as the tablet was getting to barely usable and this seemed to have breathed some new life into it.
EDIT I have since tried a rotating list of different roms. The only one I can see to get working netflix video is : cm-11-20151116-SNAPSHOT-jcsullins-tenderloin. Im not sure what the deal is. Its strange that I seem to be the only one with this issue. Oh well.
I have this issue as well. Unfortunately I've no idea how to solve it!
