When I transfer videos over from my PC, the videos wouldnt play. It jump back and forth from the opening screen to something else, just back and forth. Tried many diff videos. I'm using moboplayer. Default would give an error message stating it's unable to play video.
The other video issue is when I take video from the phone's camera. The sound would seem degraded. I'm getting a lot of background noise/static. Any help would be nice. thanks.
Any modifications whatsoever?
using GO launcher, that's about it.
Files played fine on my computer using vlc. Try that.

Have tried looking through the various forum threads but so much there that I have not come across this. I have had my GTab for a few weeks and love it. have tried several roms and thanks to everyone for the awesome amount of resources. the first 10 days I was able to play videos from my computer and even movies and tv shows. As of a couple of day ago I can not play anything, get sound but nothing will play including the same stuff that played so well before. Have tried converting videos to various other formats and no luck get error message saying can not play video. Is this an issue with the GTAB, any fix or solution have even restored it back to its original TnT state when it came out of the box. have tried video files in internal SD, external SD and even off a usb stick, same results. Any advice would be greatly appreciated....Thanks !!
I download a lot of avi, and xvid tv shows so I can watch later and without commercials. Currently I'm using Calkulin+Clemsyn 1.5ghz Froyo Combo VERSION 5. Even the stock movie player works nice and smooth(no converting). The only other ROM I tried was VEGAn-Tab GingerEdition. It's a good ROM, but not for video playback. I may switch to a Honeycomb ROM when the hardware acceleration issues are worked out.
I use Rock Player and it plays everything I've thrown at it... Although it sounds like maybe you're having some issues with the OS? Maybe try clearing settings for the video player or something?
I have been running gTabComb for a month now and love it...however I have been experiencing difficulties with video playback. Regular websites, using Opera, work fine with playing flash video.
However, with an app called, Crunchroll for Anime videos, along with various flv and mp4 files on qq player, the videos appear "magnified." They play as if on a large screen and only a portion of the top of the video appears. Since flashing gTabComb, Crunchroll worked without problem, then started acting in this manner with no changes to the system.
I have uninstalled/re-installed the software to no avail. I am trying to figure out if there is a way to change any settings with this to get these videos to play correctly--without having to go back to vegantab.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

I'm a Crunchyroll user, there is a work around to get it to demagnify. What you do is start the video you want to look at, while it is playing, press the home button (either the physical button on the side or the one on the screen). Then on the screen press the button that shows you all the programs that are open (They will show as small thumbnails of the running programs). Press the thumbnail of Crunchyroll. It will restart the video but this time it will fit to the screen.
I don't now how I figured this out, but it works. And if you are watching a lot of back to back videos on CR, usually you can watch whatever is next without having to do this. But sometimes that's not always the case.
I haven't tried this on other videos that do this but, if it works on one, I don't see why it couldn't work that way with others.
I recently tried posting a video to YouTube that was taken from the standard camera app on my Eris. When posted to YouTube, the audio codec is messed up. Normal speech comes out massively garbled and then the audio cuts out about a minute in. I converted the 3gp file to an avi on my PC but it comes out tilted 90 degrees when I do that. Does anybody know of a way of sharing a video to youtube and have the audio work properly?
I had the same problem. The only thing i found that fixes it was to just delete the video and upload it again. might take a couple times to fix though. somebody might have the issue solved.....i usually upload through my gallery and not the youtube app, i dont have any problems when uploading from there
I did the exact same things. I even took the file down to my PC and uploaded it from there. It seems like YouTube is not supporting the file format. It plays fine on the phone and plays fine on my PC using quicktime. I uploaded the original video several times and another one and the problem kept happening. I'm also uploading from the gallery by clicking share>YouTube. Any other ideas>
ok here is what i have found out. with my stock video recorder - the sounds comes in for split second then the video just stays on a single frame and doesnt move but the video bar on bottom shows its playing. So then i tried with the Miui camera app i have installed - it plays the video just perfect BUT with no sound. Right now im looking into apps on the market to replace the stock camcorder, found one but it forcloses on me after recording. Its called "anCorder" try it out it might work for u. I know for a fact that the app called "videocam Illusion" does upload to Youtube and does upload just great with no problems.
Thanks Ricky. I will try those.
Ancorder definitely FCed just as you end your video recording. Videocam illusion did great in a small upload test. I noticed the format was .mov instead of .3gp so I think that helped.
Tried rockplayer lite and mobo,both play my avi videos as very grainy. Video wasn't all that great before, but it seems worse. Anyone else getting this? They play fine in webos
Try mxplayer. Plays 720p video beautifully.

Tried it. Still grainy. Thx though. Codex didn't help. Installed the arm7. Is that right?

What video format are your 720p videos in?
mxplayer seems to fall over on hardware rendering of mkv files and is fairly slow when rendering 720p mkv in software mode.
Edit: Actually I tried it again and its better than I remembered in software mode when rendering 720p mkv, although I think Ive overclocked it since I last tried and upgraded to Alpha 3. It is grainy though in software mode.
One thing I cant figure out is how to easily get back to the list of movies once a movie starts to play. Any tips there? The only way I seem to be able to do it is to set "playback complete action" in the preferences to "Quit", and then fast forward the movie right to the end, it will then send me back to the list of movies but that seems a clunky way to do it.
I also cant seem to back out of the subtitle selection if I attempt to turn off or change the subtitle language once in a movie, I can select a different subtitle language but it doesnt seem to let me out of the subtitle menu.
Edit 2:
Seems I had my status bar set to turn off when full screen apps asked for it. That means I couldnt see my home/back/settings button whilst playing a movie. Fix was to go into CyanogenMod settings and "Tablet tweaks" then ensure that "Disable Fullscreen" was ticked.
This now allows me to back out of Subtitles menu box and also enter movie selection and settings whilst playing a movie. Im not sure if this was a setting I had previously turned off or not or whether its the default to have it unticked.
shorttrip86 seems to have found a fix : (Fix) Found Working Video Player For Cm7 Alpha 3
It's a test build of MX Video Player.
Tried the Mx video file from that link up there. Its definitely better,but still very grainy compared to kalem player in webos. The videos I'm trying to play were made using PSP movie Creator. The dimensions are small so the quality on the videos is not that great and the only reason I'm even trying to find a fix is because its porn lol
LOL!
In this case, just watch it on webOS or download another...
I just went back to 2.1

Greetings from Portugal.
Before I start, yes, I have tried searching for it. Found a couple of old threads that didn't help much...
My question is: Is there a way to watch any video format without it stopping every few minutes?
If I use the stock player everything is fine, but it cannot support several video formats like avi, rmvb... etc. I use the MX player, but on some types of video, it stopps every few minutes. It's sooooo annoying!
From what i've seen in some threads, it happens with other video apps too. AND, when i am watching something directly from the internet, like fastpasstv, the video stops loading also every few minutes. I have to restart the loading from the middle... not hard, but also annoying. (using stock browser, and this doesn't happen on youtube for example)
Is the issue related? Since it seems to be happening to both online and offline video viewing...
I am stock, non-rooted, and non-unlocked... Wifi is fine.
I have the same problem. But it is a MX Player specific one for me. BS Player works fine (but has other issues).
Edit: I tried with the 'Performance Mode' and it works so far. Maybe a workaround?
I never have this problem when streaming one of many video formats from my PC to my Prime using ES File Manager to find the video files on my PC and MX to play them as streams.
Is this something that you tend to experience with streams/videos being played directly on the Prime?
For me it is locally played .ts videos.
Meanwhile I found this thread http://groups.google.com/group/mx-videoplayer/browse_thread/thread/533d7296c0305183
It might be a Prime/ICS problem. There seems to be no solution up to now.
I get this same issue trying to stream video from sites other than youtube. It is when I'm streaming that I get most of the lock ups with the prime, reboots, etc. Maybe it is something to do with the allotted cache size of the browser being used up and cleared to make room for more buffered video?
It is rather annoying. You basically have to let it load and watch the whole thing as it goes. If I hit pause or so anything else then it risks stopping the stream where ever its at in the buffering. It's nice to have it start loading up, hitting pause, and walking away for a few minutes to let it buffer up. But then when I come back it would have just stopped about a 1/3 into it or 1/2 way. It would require hitting the reload button at the top or having to close the browser, kill it in the task manager, and then reopen it.
I don't have this issue with Netflix though. They did something right in their app.
I used to have this issue with mx player. It really sucked having to restart a movie every 5-10 minutes.
You want to use Dice Player. It's played everything I've thrown at it. All in Hardware rendering so the screen goes blank when plugged into HDMI.
Haven't had any issues since. I'm using the paid version, I assume they are both alright though.
