that is a player and it doesn't recognize 3gp files
thanx tho for the help
i used mastersplitter to split the corrupted 19mb 3gp and a similar working 20mb 3gp into 50Kb splices.
spliced most of corrupted video in the middle of the working one and joined the splices back together.
the a/v are kind of jumbled.
has anyone tried this?
should i try different size splices or what?
any input would be greatly appreciated.
anyone know ???
VLC does play 3GP, if it wont play then I think you're done for :-(
I'm very curious on this subject to, I have 50mb of Killswitch Engage in Chicago I would really love to have but cant open in anything.
Hello xda-members.
Cause I don't have 10 posts in your pleasant forum here, I am not able to post in the dev-part directly concerning the MOD for the camera.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1090785
So I'll try here...
I just installed the new 1.1.3.4 Version (128) via Astro-FM. First i deleted the cam app via Titanium-B. The 64 and 96 Version seem to be broken @tm. The method via CWM doesn't work either.
Now if I record a video in 1080p the sound and the video are quite suspended. I Doesn't matter if I choose the internal SD or external. I'm running the Fr17 Modaco (prebake)
720 works fine instead.
So, does anyone else face this problem too? Any suggestions? If it's possible i'd like to post in the dev-thread...
Kind regards
Are you saving your video to external SD card??? if so id try saving it to the internal, as the r/w will be faster than the external.

As said, doesn't matter.
I just sent the videos to my PC. There's no out of synch. Perfect match of sound and image. Seems to be a player problem on the mobile device...
I'd like to know if others have the same issue...?

yes, since the 1.st version !
when playing back on device, sound is not in sync with video ...
i guess it could be the player app, i´m using LG video player ...
by the way, i corrected wrong update zip, now you can flash via CWM ...

You're right. With the first Version I also didn't realize the problem.
For now I tested with rockplayer and the original LG. With both players the sound and image are out of synch on the P990.
I don't even have a clue whats happening with the files or players... May both internal and external SD card are to slow? Who knows. I have a class 4 external SD. But I think even 4 MB writespeed would be enought for the 17Mbit stream...
17Mbit / 8 = 2,125 Megabyte
Even a good class 2 card would be enought...
i am now using latest doc ics rom.. my problem is in music player there is duplicate song entries. how to get rid of this problem..
try:
- Go to settings, Google Play Music, Force Stop, Clear Data
- Same for Media Storage
- Reboot and wait a couple of minutes
seems to help some people. didnt for me, so if you have an ext SD:
- Go to settings, Storage
- Unmount External SD
- Reboot into recovery and clear delvik cache
- Reboot and wait a couple of minutes
the second one solved that media bug permanently for me, although i am not quite sure why

Try DoubleTwist player it does not show me the duplicates.

Duplicate songs
Good morning....the problem is not with the device (android) it is with the file details.
1. The problem I think you are having is that albums appear twice, with songs being split between the dual enties?:
2. On your PC right click on the music file (song) and click on properties.
3. Go to details and make sure all of the songs in the album have all of the details exactly the same...contributing artist, album etc. if not change it.
4.Delete the album form your device and copy the newly modifed files to your sdcard.
I do quite a bit of music recording and editing...this occurs alot.
I hope this helps.
Edit: <wrong>
The problem appears to be with ICS mounting internal and external SD cards twice.
Every ICS ROM I've tried has them mounted:
/sdcard
/emmc
/mnt/sdcard
/mnt/emmc
</wrong>
<irrelevant>
I don't know why both are mounted twice.
</irrelevant>
It seems that this will never be fixed, the best solution I've found is to use different applications for music/pictures.
For music I use Poweramp.
For pictures I use Quickpic.
Both of them scan your media separately to the android media scanner and they're smart enough to not scan both mounts of each SD card.
Edit:
Can't be my original reason as you only get one copy of the media first time round, then after each reboot or mount as USB drive you get another and another and another.
I guess the media scanner doesn't compare newly discovered files against its existing database, it just adds new entries every time it runs which is why the list keeps growing.
Anyhow, Poweramp and Quickpic are the way to go. Poweramp is worth the money it costs, but if you can't/don't want to pay for it then you'll have to go through the abundance of other music players to see if they avoid the duplicate file problem.
The solution is to use power amp for music...in its settings you can select which folders to scan and hence over come the problem
I have this same problem. every music track (not albums) is duplicated three times. file explorers show a single file but its three files in a music player. but sometimes it goes away, by itself (or I don't know what I did). its not a big deal for me since it won't treat these three duplicates as three different tracks, instead it treats all three as a single file so there is no repeating when playing an album.

Imho it depends on the rom.
I used ICSSGS 4.2 quite a while where this bug was present.
When I switched to CM9 nightly the bug vanished - until today it is definitely due to multiple scanning of the external SD.
Hopefully it just because of switching to the latest version.
If so I would recommend to use CM9 nightly where this bug should not be present anymore.

I use jet audio too and this problem keeps reoccurring. Using Padawan ics rom on galaxy note. I clear data on both media storage and google frameworks and then use sd rescan. That solves the problem but it always returns.
Hmmm ...
So this whole scenario has happened to my Samsung "twice" this month (Nov 2012) and the other Samsung on my account, 3 times this month. I have to admit though since my Samsung's are only 2+ months old, the one thing I did when I got both phone(s) was alter ever single album detail! I'm starting to wonder if this is the culprit but the thought of having to revert all of the album details to their original state, then delete/then re-load music back on BOTH phones (4-6 hours of work) .. I'm sooooooooooooooooo dreading this.:crying:
greatdaneduke: Did your suggestion fix your phone (permanently) and did this eliminate your problem entirely over the last 7 months too?

Hi SSHollywood.
greatdaneduke was wrong about what causes the problem.
The assumption made in step 1 (if you can call it a step, it's not really a step, but it is next to the number 1) wasn't the case for me or anyone else I've spoken to with the issue.
I know what greatdaneduke is talking about and I have seen this before, but it's not the case here. What greatdaneduke was saying is that when you write the tags for mp3s, sometimes it's written to the file slightly differently, then this causes the program you're using (Android in this case) to see some of the files from 1 album and some of the files from another album, even though when you look at it, it looks as though they all say Insert Album Name Here. The only cure to this is to delete the mp3 tags and rewrite them from scratch, and hopefully this time they are all written the same way.
The actual problem is this...
It's a developer based ROM which has bugs.
One of these bugs is the way the media scanner updates the media library.
The media scanner will run every time the phone boots up/reboots or when the phone is disconnected from a computer.
Each time this happens you get another listing of your music in your library.
There are 3 ways of fixing this, listed from least expensive/most infuriating to most expensive.
1. Wipe your media data before every reboot and before every time you connect to a computer, this way when your phone boots up or is disconnected from a computer it will have a blank media library to update. This will get annoying and you'll probably forget to wipe the data each time.
To do this you need to:
a. Go into Applications -> Media Storage.
b. Force Stop Media Storage.
c. Clear Data Media Storage.
2. Use Poweramp for music (there's a trial version but it only gives full features for 14 days) and use Quickpic for photos. Both these apps use their own media scanners so they don't have the duplicates problem.
3. Buy a new phone. Samsung Galaxy S original is now 2 and a half years old, it's very dated and developer support is dropping fast.

You suggest buying the first gen Galaxy? Ive got the skyrocket and I think that ICS is dog doo.
I never had this problem when I had gingerbread. I sent my phone in for warranty replacement and it came with ICS already installed. Getting multiple music entries all the time except only one entry will play all duplicates don't play, rendering my shuffle function useless as I get the silent tracks the majority of the time.
Guess its time to finally root. I was on the fence but with ICS it seems obvious that rooting is the only way I'll get an enjoyable phone experience.

No, what I meant was it's time upgrade to a new phone because I assume they currently have a Galaxy S 1 which is an old phone.
As this question is posted in the Galaxy S 1 forums I'm guessing anyone commenting on the thread currently has a Galaxy S 1.
Personally I've moved on to the Galaxy S 3.

Please edit - Google Play Music = Music.
sdcard/media
I had this problem with some tracks too - I used ES File Explorer (although the stock 'Files' app may work too) to search the whole phone for one of the duplicated track names. It found one in my 'music' folder on my SD card (where I'd copied the track to) and another in "/sdcard/media". I don't know what that directory is for - it doesn't have all my music in it, and it seems to have some I can't remember listening to, so it doesn't look like a cache. Either way, I deleted the files in it, and the problem is solved.
I'm guessing the music player could solve this by only scanning certain areas of your system (which avoids getting ringtones and app sounds into the music lists), but AFAIK, Rocket Player (my music player of choice) doesn't seem to be able to do this
Either way - if your music player is showing duplicate tracks, check to make sure you have actually only got one copy of it on your phone! Hope that helps someone out
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!

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.

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.

Just got the phone and I'm digging my way through it but I've found that for some reason my music and video files are not being seen by the phone.
Photographs are fine, but I see no obvious way of forcing the walkman and movie apps to scan my SD card. The files are still there and I've tried unmounting/remounting but I'm not having much luck.
Has anyone else experienced this? I tried to search but only saw reports of skipping tracks etc.
Edit: I've come from a Galaxy S3 and the card was formatted on that phone - could it be a slightly different file organisation system? I hope I don't have to reformat!
I understood the media server will scan for files if you:
- Add new media to the SD card and unplug USB cable.
- When you power cycle the device.
If all this fails maybe try an app like "Rescan Media":
http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-addz-mediascanner-jtDAw.aspx
Rescan Media is a simple app will rescan your mobile phone for new files that usually happens on a system re-boot.
It only calls the android media scanner.
Kind regards, Stefan.
You can also delete android folder from the sd and reboot.

Thanks guys. Oddly enough I'm now seeing my files. It seemed to just happen! When I rebooted and used usb, nothing happened. Then out of the blue it just does it, unexplainable! That app looks handy though
can't find the media
Same to me. I can find any mp3 or mp4 file that i have in sdcard in my walkman, Still can see it through file explore. How can I fix it? Tried media scan app, flash new app, wipe anything... but still can't see anything in the damn screen.
