[Help] Video not playing on XZ - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So this is a very peculiar problem, where my phone hangs, process.system crashes, my onscreen keys vanish
I have been able to recreate it
By playing any music through Walkman
Then opening the movies app(not playing any video)
Stops the music that is playing
If I then play any music or video through any player
the phone hangs indefinitely
Or
movies crash
Process. System crashes
Home,back etc vanish
Photos app, the photos become pixilated
I have cleared data on both the apps, cleared the phones cache.
Reinstalled movies and Walkman
But the problem doesn't go away :'(

Sorry but is seem to me that this might be more serious issues , I would suggest PC companion or flash tool. That is because sony player plays most of the codecs mp4, divx and others.

It's not just the Sony player, MX player all stop working
First time my phone hung, ever :/
I don't want to reset phone done it four times in a less than a year already

what worries me is the force to close or crashes . Sir. That means some of the system files are damages. I suggest you do backup the data ASAP.
I don't think you have much choice there !
I flash my one once every week and I don't care!
is your phone rooted???

Nope it's not rooted, it's stock, I had it warranty replaced a month back.
It's my daily driver, so It's bit of a pain, but I think I agree with that system files might be corrupted, better to restore to a new system image.
Flashtool will let me flash the same firmware without wiping my data right? Will that be advisable in my case?

Video player that remembers where you were?

Is there a video player that remembers where you were better than the installed apps? I loaded a couple movies on my phone and every time I stop playing them I lose my place. There must be something better out there.

try rockplayerbase
Well in the stock player you can add "bookmarks" ...hit menu, then add bookmark.....it allows you to play from a marked spot of the movie (accessible by hitting menu and bookmarks - in the actual player)

Act one video player will do that for you. You can even put a shortcut on your screen that will go to right where you left off. Hope that helps.
I use mPlayer personally. It has a nice GUI and customizability as well as the ability to use subtitles from mkv files.
mvideoPlayer too does this, and do this in auto mode...

Reset stock music player

Got a fatal situation. I installed mxing player and it mixed up my whole music library (4000 songs). After installing mxing player my stock player shows all songs double. One is playable and the other one is not playable. If I now control the content of the songs directory, I can find only one (the playable one). I even checked in USB mode and checked also if there was an hidden file or so.... Nothing. This means to me it is a problem of the stock player's file list. So I want to reset the stuck player in order to let it rescan all files. But I couldn't find any way to make the player rescanning. Does s.o. know how to do this?

Wipe cache and data of the music player, will reset the library.

Unmount and re-mount the internal sdcard from settings>memory. This will make the media scanner scan all files again, wherein lies your problem. I doubt wiping music player data would do any good.
Thx, yes wiping didn't help at all. Unmounting was the remedy of choice.

[Q] Screen flickers while playing videos

I have a Samsung Galaxy S Advance i9070. Off late if I try playing videos one after the other the screen starts to flicker. The first video plays fine, flickering starts when i play the second video, then I have to bring up Task Manager and clear the memory. This happens only while playing videos, I tried the VLC player also but result is the same. 90% of system resources are free so it can’t be a lack of system resources that’s causing this. Is it a hardware issue, I re installed the stock ROM but even then same result.
I have this problem too but it seldom happens.

In my case ti happens every time I play a video, no exceptions.
Which player are you using to view the videos?
People say I'm crazy, but the voices in my head say I'm just fine.

Cant play music on s3 mini

Had this phone for about a week now and randomly my music wont play. I've tried the music player, google music player and some others like Android music player etc.
Below is an error message that pops up. The format is correct since I've played the same songs beforeit stopped working. Any suggestions?

Wow, nevermind a simple restart fixed the problem. Maybe it just is that simple sometimes. If anyone runs into this problem just do as I did.

Glad you got it figured out! Corrupted file would've been my next guess
