[Q] video playback problem - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Very weird. sometimes I can playback videos and sometimes they just refuse to start. this includes ones uploaded from my pc and ones i recorded myself( recent and old)
Only have stock video player
Clearing memory doesnt do anything
Last time it happened i restarted the phone twice to fix it. But i don;t want to have to restart the phone every other day randomly
The videos are on the phone hardrive and not the external sd.
I'v rooted with odin. from kf3 to the rooted kf3.

media will not play...wtf....

ok i believe that this question has been asked but it was not anwsered so i am gonna ask again with a twist. ok, ever since i had rooted my vibrant i have noticed that for some odd reason unless i reset my phone it will not play any media files. it says that (cannot play this media file) now this is for both audio and video. now after i pull out the battery (cause its quicker then a shutdown) it seems to be ok. someone once said that you have to make it rescan the sd card, which does not work nor would it affect video files from online (i.e. youtube) so i would appreciate any thoughts on this.

I have the same issue but I am not rooted but it has been since I upgraded to 2.2 Some times it will work fine for a few days then others only a few hours. The only solution is to reboot the phone. It will not play any music or mp3 ringtones or video local or youtube. I have reset my phone to stock with no installed software but that did not help either. If any one has any fixes for this please reply.
Thanks

I have the same issue. I've been rebooting everyday so the media file can play.

Puzzling issue with Camera, Gallery and Music player

I've tried out four (five if including the stock) ROMs so far (Bionix, Trigger, Bi-Winning, and GCR3), and I have trouble in using the stock camera, Gallery, and Music player with all. Each time when I flash a ROM, camera, Gallery, and Music player all work fine at the beginning, but after one usage or two, problem starts to show up:
1) Camera initially works fine, but then it does not give me the view of the photo after each shot.
2) Gallery initially has no problem loading up the photos, but then fails to find anything from the sd card. In contrast, QuickPic never fails.
3) Music player initially has no problem loading the songs, but then fails to find anything from the sd card. However, MortPlayer works fine all the time.
I even tried formatting the sd card, but it didn't solve the problem either. Anybody have clue or similar experience? Thanks in advance!

video lags

Hi,
i am facing the problem of video lagging.
earlier i had all my videos in phone internal memory, but last month i had transfered the videos to my 32 gb micro sd card..
i didnt check the videos then, but a few days back when i tried, many videos started to lag, they stopped responding.
i am not sure what is the problem.
i have two types of videos in my phone.. the ones tranfered from Kies & only one is copied directly as its a 2.36 gb mkv file & takes huge amount of time to convert it using Kies.. (this sucks ! please give me an alternate way to do this)
Kindly suggest..!
thanks for your help !

[Q] Video on Computer

Yesterday, I took a video on my father's S4 and when we copied it to his computer and played it back the video picture lags behind the audio is choppy but when we play it on his phone it plays just fine. Does anybody know why this happened and what we might be able to do to fix it?

Videos get corrupted if the battery is completely discharged

Hi,
as the title says, this is what happens:
If I have recorded a video and saved it (so the rcording is done, stopped) and my phone later on runs out of battery and it shut down, the video I recorded previously gets corrupted, I can't open it in the gallery (I have also tried different media players) and I can't read it on my PC (I have tried to copy/paste it connecting the phone or using an SD reader but, once is copied on my PC, VLC can't open it). This happens no matter if the video is saved in the SD or in the phone's memory: from the default media player i get the error "Media file not supported", from other players (inlcuding VLC) i get the error "Is Impossible to open the file". In the phone's gallery instead of the regular thumbnail I get a thumbnail with a triangle and the "!". Not only this, but if I have recorded multiple videos and saved them and then I run out of battery, then all the videos will get corrupted! But if I regularly turn off the phone, then turn it back on and then my phone runs out of battery, those videos won't get corrupted anymore. You can try check if you have this issue too, by doing this:
1) Record a video and save it
2) While the phone is on, remove the battery (I know is something you should not do, but is to simulate a "run out of battery" scenario)
3)Turn on the phone and check the video
Never done a root on my phone, recently done an hardreset and formatted my SD, no weird apps, android 7.0 . I don't know what to do, please help!
Update: it seems there is no way to prevent this behavior (flash memories do not like power interruptions), however you can try to recover the corrupted files using one of the following software (they are not free, but I wasn't able to find a free software actually able to repair the corrupted videos):
1) MP4Fix for your android device
2) Stellar Phoenix Video Repair for Windows/Mac
3) Video Repair for Windows/Mac
