Sorry,
I know this question probably gets asked a lot for this, however i did search the forum and couldn't find an answer to my problem.
Has anyone here been able to get Avatar.dcf to play on CM7 or NB's ICS v10+ ? I'm not sure if it's because i don't have the .apk (I have the actual .dcf file i backed up), if it's because i don't have a stock video player, or if i'm just missing something else... or just that it won't play because it's ICS. My root browser doesn't seem to see the file at all.
Would love to get a chance to get this up and running again. Any help is appreciated.
I bought my Vibrant used, and the Avatar icon didn't work on it. If you have the Avatar movie, you can always encode your own mp4.

Youtube videos on the Hero open in the HTC flash player, which would be fine if it weren't for the crappy quality, choppy video and distorted colours. On my G1 I was able to open youtube videos in the Youtube application, which is of a considerably higher quality. Is there a way to do this on the Hero
Sorry if this question has been asked, I did a search both on the Forum and on Google but I was unable to come across an answer.
Thanks
I have the very same question. I've been searching the forum and the web without success so far. Anyone?
It is built into the Modaco ROMs. I'd suggest either installing one, or downloading one and seeing if you extract and install the APK.
Regards,
Dave
Which APK? The official ROM already has the youtube app, I just want it to be launched when I click on a youtube video within the browser...
Any other way without changing ROMs?
I'm still looking for a way to do it without switching ROMs, too. If anyone has any ideas please let us know
I would (also) like to know how/if it can be done.
Currently, when I need to play a link in the YouTube app, I copy/paste and load the page in the Steel browser. Steel will let me choose to either use the HTC Flash Player or the YouTube app.
I would have liked the HTC people to at least leave the option with the users...

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

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.
I'm pretty sure I am not breaking the cardinal sin of asking a stupid question with an answer right in front of me. If I am, I am truly sorry. I searched, and did not find any threads on this.
I recently modded my TP with CM7 (I'm very new to all this). Everything went fine, no issues here.
I plan to use it to play video's from time to time, pre-loaded in case there is no net at the location, etc. I use astro file manager on my phone, and since I love it, I grabbed it for the TP also. Problem is, it really seems like it cant see anything.
I am thinking the folder path mappings are off or something? I see that I can define where I want "external storage" to look, (default is... /mnt/sdcard)?
I even tried to take a screenshot and got... "Error: /mnt/sdcard/tempshot.bmp (Permission denied)" Screenshot saved to null
Anyone know what I'm missing? Thanks!
-- Ps, if I can get this sorted out, my main question was which video files are supported for playback with this CM7 rom through the TP.
These were answered before, but for the most part buried in threads. Your external SD is actually listed as EMMC and it's not in your primary directory, you actually have to go up one.
Android should play most formats it would normally, but as this is still alpha, there is no hardware video acceleration, so anything higher resolution then a internet video will most likely be choppy.
There are some video players that people have had luck with, and overclocking the processor also can help until we get hardware acceleration.

Ah ok. I was somehow able to get the stock filebrowser to see my directories without a problem after I poked around a bit. I then ran into what you already answered for me . Video's do indeed seem choppy... I think I'll try to reduce the quality of an avi I have and see how that go's.
I'm not ballsy enough to OC anything. It took me a lot of guts to flash the damn thing anyway, thanks for the heads up though.
-- figured I'd post how it turned out.
I used Xilisoft HD Converter and converted using the android specific output setting, and 640x480, runs great using double twist.
Hello guys!
After looking everywhere I can't seem to find any solution or even report of a similar issue
I have a rooted Nexus 7 on 4.2.1 and (I think it happened since the last update to 4.2.1) have a total impossibility of playing ANY media files over my local network... Whether it's a movie or even an MP3, every single one of my players tell me "sorry this video cannot be played"..
I can see the file on EF explorer (tried also with a bunch of other explorers, same problem), I can copy it onto my tablet over wifi, but impossible to play the damn file directly like I used to 2 or 3 weeks ago...
I bought a Kobo Arc for my girlfriend (on ICS) and it has no problem streaming anything instantly, even 720p 6gb movies... but when I get my Nexus 7 , nope can't do it anymore
I'm really getting lost on that issue now... I've tried tons of players (MX, BS, Dice, VLC...etc), tons of files explorers, looked through the file explorers settings...etc etc, but nothing that could get me my media streaming over wifi again...
It's not a huge issue or anything, but it's rather annoying to have to transfert every single media file on the tablet before actually being able to watch/listen to it...
If someone has a solution for this, damn, you would soooo helpful
Thanks in advance!
No chance for me? Anyone?
