Just got an update today for LGcamera and it has killed video recording. It has even killed video recording on the stock camera app. I'm Running CM7.1.0-rc-1. The only other thing i have done today was install a few games and live wallpapers. So, i cant believe anything else besides the update killed it. Can anyone confirm this?
TIA- Capn
Rolled back to a previous nandroid backup and i'm back to normal. I have to install a few games and make a new backup now but i have video recording back. Still interested to see if anyone else is having that problem.
Do you update it via Market?
I think it installed and overwrite some files in systems.. not really sure but it just some possibility.
I did update via market. After restoring from a backup everything works fine. I assume you didn't have a problem.

Hey folks...
I ended up re-flashing the stock Vibrant U.S. firmware from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=739091
It was looking like everything was working properly at first, but recently I realized that DivX files will no longer play (unsupported format error) and web sites with streaming video that used to work before I re-flashed are now also causing an "unsupported format" error from Video Player.
I also can no longer play the Avatar movie that came on the 2GB SD card. It tells me that the license is missing.
Is it possible that that stock firmware is missing a few odds and ends from the shipping ROM (like video CODECs and DRM licenses)? If so, does anyone know where I might find these CODECs/licenses in a form that I could re-install them?
Thanks!
Ok, even if you don't know anything about installing CODECs, can anyone confirm or deny that the "stock" firmware linked-to above is missing these CODECs or not? How about the Avatar license? I'm just trying to figure out if they're really missing or if it's some other issue.
Thanks!
Did anyone ever find a fix for this?
Not yet where can I get video codecs from

I installed CM7 an hour ago without any problems. The process was about 100 times easier than installing cm7 on my fascinate, which was surprising. I tinkered with it a bit, then tried to play a mkv video and got a black screen. I tried 4 different media players, all black screens. I then went to youtube, tried to load up a video, blackscreen. I downloaded Angry Birds, opened it, black screen. I installed straight from WebOS, didn't have the previous version of cm7 on the pad.
Could it have something to do with the fact I had a custom kernel installed before?

WebOS kernel is irrelevant, it's booting from a different partition.
It should work fine, copy the new 2.1 alpha to the SD card, boot into CWM and do a full datawipe & then reflash 2.1, see if that helps.
I am having a fairly similar issue. Angry Birds and other games will work just fine, but videos don't play. I can hear the audio, but where the video should be there is just black. The only two sources I've tried were Netflix and YouTube.
I was hoping to avoid reinstalling CM7, but it looks like I might have to. Is nobody else having this problem?
With YouTube, for me at least, I have to rotate it horizontally to see video. If you watch in high quality, though, it hardly works. The video doesn't buffer properly (constantly stops to buffer).

As far as Netflix this is a known issue. Make sure you are using down version and not the most recent update. I had same issue, rolled back using my titanium backup version to 1.4.1 and all is well with netflix.

As to some of the other video issues if you are trying to play local files, a lot of this may be due to a lack of video codecs. I know I can play full profile 720P mp4 on my SGS2 but I get nothing on touchpad...chalking it up to a codec issue that hopefully gets resolved down the road.

Just followed your recommendation and rolled back with titanium and Netflix works now. Thanks!
Hey guys.. I don't know what's going on but I'm hoping someone can help me. I'm currently running WTSB 1.9 on my 3vo with a stock kernel and my netflix app just so that work well anymore. I used to have basically perfect video and sound on it.. Now the video is slowed down to what appears to be about half its regular speed but the audio just keeps on going at regular speed making it very unwatchable. This happens on 4g or WiFi.. Both of which used to give perfect results. Could it be the rom since I updated recently? Something else? Videos saved on my sd in HD still play perfectly so I know it's decoding right. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
I don't know if the rom is at fault or not, My netflix works just fine, I am using Shooter_S_Sprint_WWE_2.08.651.3_deodex from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1321452 I have tried many roms always end up going back to stock, thanks to this thread it's easier to go back to stock and not have to restore my data either.
Only way you will know if it's the rom or not is to try another rom, then test netflix, if netflix works then it was the rom.
Hey guys im pretty new to this, i have been running my xperia U (rooted) on the old gingerbread for sometime now, finally bit the bullet and unrooted it and upgraded to ICS 4.0.4 via SCC. I quite like ICS its smoother and the phone runs faster (although battery life now suffers) the only issue i am having is I cant play videos on my phone; this includes camera video in the gallery and embedded videos on the browser. I have factory reset about 100 times still hasnt worked and have tried installing adobe air, flash etc still nothing. When i click on a video in the gallery for example i try touching the play button but nothing happens, the thumbnail and video still image is fine just there is no response from touching the play button.
Am i missing something? or am i being a complete tool, iv looked all over the forums for help on this but everyone else seems to be getting some kind of error message, mines just doesnt respond to the touch....
Help please! appreciates
thanks
Chris

hey mate thanks for the reply, everyone has recommended this but i dont like having apps on my phone that i really dont need i should be able to use the stock player, but its unresponsive. this goes for embedded vids too!
ALSO
i tried re installing firmware, got it working again but then as i was using Titanium back up to remove the bloatware it stopped working (also made sure i didnt accidently remove important files or programmes that the video player is dependant on...) im stumped! not a disaster but i like to watch the office before i go to sleep at night hahahahah
UPDATE- Found the problem i deleted the "movies" app in titanium which stops the videos from playing in the gallery, what sort of stupid **** is that!
Has anyone got the latest update for the YouTube app? I just installed it hoping they fixed the 1440p option and guess what, now it doesn't even open!!! Wtf are they doing over there I am pissed.
Edit: Tried to restore my backup and it still doesn't work wow.
I just updated off play store, it opens and plays fine. It does seem to max out at 720, though.
Just updated. Opens fine but still 720p max
OK I got it working but it still sucks
