One week in and an upgrade to 4.2.2.
I was taking a first look at the video capabilities. Firstly, I tried to play the stock demo movies pre-loaded in the Xperia tab (10.1). The Movies app opened but after a few seconds I got "Cannot play video". I then played the file through the ES app. It worked fine! Why wouldn't the demo video play through Sony's own stock Movie player?
Any ideas?
Cheers

This question has been asked but never answered. This is a serious problem for the Captivate. any page that has iPhone specific videos cannot be played on our phone. however these videos are simply mp4s that we should be able to handle. especially since mp4s loaded onto our phone can be played. but when we click on a video link in our browser (not just default browser) it says the video wasn't made for our phone and doesn't play it. It seems to be the video players fault because it launches. is there anyway to unlock this feature? if not can we have the browser use another player?
not sure, I am able to play mp4 links/files on my Perception. Do you have a link we can try?
I have paired my Xperia t with my Xbox 360 and I can throw music, pictures and some movies to the xbox to show on my tv, but it doesn't show the videos filmed with the camera phone ( mp4 format). It showed the demo videos that came in the phone perfectly, but I have since deleted them and don't know what format they were in... Probably avi.
When I try to push camera phone videos it just shows 'playback error'
Anybody out there managed to stream their camera phone videos on Xbox? Or should i just give. up? Thanks.
I recently (early February) factory reset my HD+ and then let it update completely to the newest stock software version before rooting it. Now, whenever I try to play a video, whether it is an m4v/mp4 file I manually placed onto the SD card, or a streamed video from Vudu, or a downloaded video from Vudu, or a streamed video from Google Play Movies, or a downloaded video from Google Play Movies, it won't play. At all. It opens up whichever video player I choose (I've tried the built-in player, BS Player, MX Player, and VLC), but the player will then load endlessly. I can't seek forward by clicking the progress bar. When I try to play a movie direct from the Vudu app, it buffers endlessly, even for a video I've downloaded. Same with a video from Google Play Movies. Sometimes the loading circle or buffer notice will freeze, and I'll get a notice that whichever app I'm using is not responding and if I want to wait or close.
I haven't been able to find anything about this issue that anyone else is having. Any ideas?
I'll take a wild guess that its from rooting stock.

Hello,
Yesterday I tried the Background Video Recorder 2 app (ex Secret Video Recorder 2 but Google removed it from the store, they are same) which resulted in a huuuugeee frustration. My phone is Sony Xperia Z3 Compact. I stored the videos on an external SD. When I got home to copy videos to my PC I saw that the app saved videos as date-clock.mp4.renamed so they are not video files. I removed the ".renamed" part and over the 50 videos only 2 of them worked (sort of- too much buggy) and the other files cannot be opened by any player (for example, Gom Player showed "Find Codec" error screen).
Can I fix those videos?
Thank you.
