I'm having a strange issue where no videos, either taken myself or downloaded from elsewhere, will play in the Huawei Gallery app. They all play correctly in Google Photos and when sent to other people.
I've reset the Gallery app data twice and tried various video formats and none play. It simply kicks me back to the previous screen (camera if trying to view straight after recording or Gallery main screen if trying to access via gallery).
I'm not sure when this issue started but it's not always happened and didn't start as soon as I upgraded to EMUI 10.
P30 Pro VOG-L29 all stock on EMUI 10.0.0 with all updates installed.
Any help is appreciated,
Luke.

Din you uninstall Huawei's native video app?
(com.huawei.himovie)
If yes, that's the problem.
Reinstall it via adb.
I don't remember doing so but it appears I have uninstalled it; where is best to get the APK to use?
EDIT: disregard the above question; quick Google for the full path took me to the play store which showed HUAWEI Video as still installed. Uninstalled it which takes it back to factory settings and this fixed it. Re-updated the app via Google play then via in app prompts and it stops working so it seems to be an issue with the update.

Hello, I've been plauged by this issue and still haven't found a fix...
Recording any videos with the stock camera app, either 4k or 1080p, and attempting to play them back in either the stock camera app or in google photos, the videos are horrendously choppy. But playing them back in a different program like ES File Explorer, them seem to work OK (4k still has some dropped frames).
I am running 5.1.1 tmobile. I have already attempted a factory reset and reflash but it didn't help at all. Any ideas?
Is this what you are experiencing?

If so, the hardware is defective and you should get it replaced asap.
I'm not quite sure if it's the same issue...When I play back the videos using a different app like QuickPic they seem to be OK. Just Google Photos and the google camera app are laggy when playing back videos.
Hi there,
recently upgraded to stock 4.4.2 EMUI 3.0. upon installing apps, google photos worked fine (albeit on an old version.. the one that was a part of Google plus). Since I use google now and google launcher, I needed to update the google software and ended up with the up to date google photos.
This version of photos however crashes every time I attempt to play a video. This is really annoying since I use Photos to back up my pics and vids. Has anyone experienced this problem? .. and more importantly, has anyone managed to solve/work around the problem?
Cheers!
Hi!
I have the same problem on G6 L11 EMUI 3.0. There is no fix afaik.
I just bought P7--it was EMUI 3.1.
And I can't even use google photos. Because whenever I opened the app, it crashed and it didn't upload any of photos to my google account.
Is there a way to solve this issue?

Perhaps we have misunderstood ourselves, I have never had problems about gif making and I do not understand why you are talking about this.
my problem is only youtube, can you kindly tell me which version of youtube are you using?
I understood fine, I was trying to say that MAYBE the combination of software update AND youtube version is what is not working well in your case, I am using youtube 13.03.58
The latest ver I was running was 13.01.53 & never had an issue with fit-to-screen/pinch-to-zoom. YT along with Maps are apps that I don't like to always update to the latest version when released. Buggy sometimes in my experience.
I'm currently running iYTPBP 12.49.55 with no issues either. I'll never go back to stock YT again.
Hello there! I have been having the EXACT problem as you. Go to the Play Store, then on the Youtube app page. Uninstall it. It will just uninstall the updates and stick to the version of the app that comes with the latest build of your phone. (Which is a very recent one). In this one, the Pinch to Zoom works normally.
Once a new update is out fixing this issue, just let the Play Store update your app as usual.
Regards
thanks guys, after the v suggestions, I did an experiment, I found an old version of youtube on the net, I uninstalled youtube updates and I installed the old version, the problem disappeared, after I updated youtube and now pinch to zoom works.
a mysterious thing, during these operations in the old version I appeared only once for a chance to make live video (streaming from the phone), but when I reopened the application was gone, youtube does not want to give us the streaming.
Good for you man! It is good to see when somebody has success fixing some issue!
Hey guys,
Anyone know why my video recording feature isn't working?
Can take photos fine. Just any of the camera recording stuff just says failed.
Thanks

You have to factory wipe, not sign in to anything when you're first setting up your phone, no Fingerprint, no Google, nothing and when you make it to the home screen, then you can sign in and everything will work as intended. Or use Google camera. Just easier to wipe though.

After skipping all the setup like this, how do you then restore all your apps, settings, etc from another device like you can during setup?
Actually this the problem with Google app... Just uninstall update of Google app to factory version... Check your video recording... If it works then install previous version of google app.. 2 or 3 version before is a good one i think. Recheck your video recording after.

Nope it's actually caused by the voice search function. Just disable voice match setting and video recording works again.
If you want to keep voice recognition on, you can also just install a 3rd party app like open camera.
Same issue, installed OpenCamera and everything works fine. Stock camera app has a big red capture button that when pressed causes a video recording error.

Do you retain features like slo-mo video, portrait mode, etc with OpenCamera (or any 3rd party camera)?
All features in OpenCamera work as far as I can tell.

I just tested OpenCamera, and you lose a lot of functionality by using it instead of the stock camera. To name a few things you lose:
1. You lose the wide angle camera
2. You lose the 48mp option on standard camera
3. You lose slo-mo video
4. You lose portrait photo mode
I tried installing the Pixelmaster apk from Open APK and the install fails. My guess is that is has something to do with the microphone. Still troubleshooting..
install the original ROM?
Hi there:
I am on the most recent 11 Beta. But on the previous Beta, as well as stock 10, and still now I am having a problem with video recording. It will stop recording for no apparent reason. I video record while I am driving occasionally, like a black box, and the video will repeatedly just stop. It is NOT due to hitting 4GB file size. I am using stock camera app. I tried unistalling updates as I've seen suggested, no change. I've cleared cache, data, reinstalled latest version of camera app, rebooted...nothing works. I have video stabilization set to "on".
Anyone have any other suggestions? Thx!
