Hello all,
On my brand new, unmodded stock Evo 3D, I have an issue with the BBC iPlayer app. Any video you try and play doesn't fit within the screen, the bottom right third being cropped off - this has the net effect of rendering the iPlayer control bar inaccesible too.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled the app, deleted it cache and checked in it's settings to no avail.
If I visit the iPlayer website in the browser and playback from there, everything works fine (as do other videos from Youtube etc).
Next on the list is to do a hard reset or try a new rom, but I don't really want to do either if I can help it, thus I'm reaching out to you lot to see if anyone has any ideas.
Thanks
Download the free no add ver of "spare parts plus" from the play store. Then open the app and then uncheck compatibility mode and reboot. If that doesn't work then recheck it and reboot. Hopefully it helps.

Cheers for the tip, didn't work sadly.
Which ver of spareparts did you dl ?? Or can you link me to the app???
#Root-Hack_Mod*Always\
1.45
Have since tried reinstalling flash updates but no dice.
So you can't link me to the app ?? It's a free version right ??
#Root-Hack_Mod*Always\
Yep free version of spare parts plus, version number 1.45.
See here:

My bad man Lol I meant to post link me to the BBC player app Lol, also BTW that was the correct app.
#Root-Hack_Mod*Always\
Aaaahhhhh - now I get you! Major case of crossed wires there.
iPlayer v 1.3
See:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...251bGwsMSwxLDEsImJiYy5pcGxheWVyLmFuZHJvaWQiXQ..
Edit: Discovered you can sort app reviews by device on the Play site. Lots of other posts from EVO uses saying the same thing, so looks like its a bug with the iPlayer app.
Are you in the UK ???
#Root-Hack_Mod*Always\
Yep, sunny Northants to be precise.
Never been there but sounds relaxing. LOL well here ya go

I installed this one and full screen works fine. Let me know how it works out for you.
#Root-Hack_Mod*Always\

No prob glad it did. If you need anything else just let me know.
#Root-Hack_Mod*Always\
I have the exact same problem, but i'm on LeeDroid's Rom so it must be a qHD problem.
Can you PM the link that you posted above? It was removed.
Yup I'll send it.

I wouldn't advise updating the Netflix app. I did yesterday and now I only get audio and no video. I'm running CM7 beta. Can anyone using stock or another rom confirm if yours is working. I saw in the app market comments that others were having problems as well but haven't seen anything over here.
I have stock gingerbread and I don't have any video issues. Although I was getting like a fast forward audio/video thing when I started a movie. It corrected after I stopped and started it. I like it better because they fixed the orientation situation.

Well I guess it's a cm7 problem like the HBO to Go app. Damn, I love the rom but this needs to be fixed. Hopefully I can flash a backup to get it going again.
yup i had the same issues. i just re-installed a backup of 1.4.0 and it works fine again.
Well, I did a cwm restore from a backup I did 2 days ago. I opened netflix and gave me an error about my device being deactivated, I just clicked through the ok's and it logged me out. I logged back in and all was well. Also, after reviewing the bug reports on CM7, I came across an interesting fix that may work for plex, I'll post the link below in the hopes that it will help somebody.

Did u get this to work? I don't see it under my settings?
No I didn't. Didn't work on hbo to go. Figured out it was a work around for plex only. The settings are found within plex I believe.

If you just view the Youtube Update option in Market, you'll see tons of people complaining of this after the last Youtube Update.
So your friend updated his Youtube and that's the culprit. They changed how the app works. Has nothing to do with the phone.
Yeah i updated 2 and i hate it .....

I can't seem to recall youtube not working while screen is off.....
Maybe because the screen doesn't die while the app is active.
Or its just not seeing the difference between audio and video

Old Youtube APK
Could someone that knows what they're doing pull the apk for that "old youtube"
incase we update over and update over and update and then lose it forever?
I don't fully understand how it works but I assume it's the same thing like people pulling the apk for the old market right?
Just thought it would be a good idea to have the "old youtube apk" floating around on here so if a time comes when we need it we already have it.
Thanks.
Oh yeah, if that's NOT how it works...I apologize.
Not quite sure what I did to mess it up now... The other night when I installled dcs everything worked fine like a charm and I know this because I was testing out the HD vid record. I'm not sure if its from adding the kernels or adons in that post for the rom. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1314898
Now when I go into camera I get a white screen where the camera image is suppose to be both static pics n video camera showing this white screen.
Please help
One of your apps has caused the white screen. You can either uninstall the app or change the video settings of the ROM. The information on how to do the latter can be found in the DSC ROM thread.
Yeah I reinstalled via system recovery dcs n now it works

Well I made the thread seeking help.. The main problem I just discovered is chainfire 3d installing the plugins seems to make the camera and video codecs or what not seem to go white for now the only solution is to uninstall the driver n reboot everytime I want to watch youtube videos n vice versa when I want to play hd games...
So now to reiterate my thread.. Help! My camera turns white...this is due to chainfire 3d n its a common problem bcuz Theres another thread here

I wanna say that I have seen a solution for your problem somewhere, when I say solution I mean it involves not having to factory reset. I'd point you in the right direction if I knew which thread it was in, but seeing as I don't use the Chainfire 3D hack then I can't elaborate
Awww that sucks.. Cuz the process I'm using now really sucks.. Involves too much time reverting back n fourth. Do you happen to know which topic the thread was under?

I tried a cable I purchased last night (mini hdmi to hdmi) and if I run any youtube videos the output works great on my TV ....also any vids from like CNN , MSNBC seems to work as well, even when I go to Full Screen mode on the Prime.
However when I try that from a Flash stream , it flakes out when I go to Full screen mode. Browser locks up, no video or sound and I have to kill the browser and clear data/cache on the app for it to function properly again.
Only does it when the HDMI out cable is connected. If I leave the feed in small screen it seems to run fne. If I increase the screen a bit on the Prime, it will most likely lose video and then it all eventually locks up again.
The site is Hockeystreams.com, basically the one and only reason I wanted the hdmi out, lol
anyway if anyone has any ideas on why this may be happening i would appreciate the help!
Thanks
Greg
U got the latest Flash player from the market? That fixed my probs.

Seems to be. I went to teh Market searched for Flash and all it gives me is the option to uninstall or open so I think its up to date.
I am going to try another flash site or maybe another browser as well.
it could be that site and the way they feed the video..
thanks !
I think I read someone saying they had the same problem and they fixed it by uninstalling and re-installing Flash. Might help, might not, but quick to test and it can't hurt.
Alternatively you could clear any data/cache associated with Flash (settings/apps)... perhaps that might do it.

Some content like the Modern Family on their homepage does freeze after the adds using ICS+ browser.
http://www.hulu.com/watch/332079/modern-family-virgin-territory
That same video played in Maxthon for tabs plays but it is choppy. It doesn't freeze. "The Middle" was choppy in Max too. Didn't try in ICS+. I don't have time to test today.
Other content does play smooth. Not sure what the difference is between that Modern Family and others that play smooth. I dont use Hulu plus.
I'm not looking for support. I saw that others have posted comments on the youtube site about freezing. I just thought I would point it out in case others post about this problem.
Works great...now has anyone been able to get HBO GO to work?

Screen keeps blanking out- Hulu on Touchpad CM9
Hello Reverend,
First of all, I must say your videos are very detailed and easy for a non-techie like myself to understand! Thanks.
Last night, following your instructions, I successfully updated my touchpad to finally view Hulu (reference: [VIDEO] Hulu Fix for CM9 Android on the HP Touchpad)..herein lies the problem...
When I enlarge the screen, the video portion goes blank after about three seconds, but the audio remains on. Is there something I need to adjust? Please help. It's great to watch Hulu, but a small screen is not the best way. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
mark
Works...
Can confirm screen goes black for a second or so leaving the audio running so A/V becomes barely noticably off sync..
Good find though..
thanks OP.. uh Rev..
=o)
Thank you, Rev. It worked for me using root explorer and no PC.
HBO GO
I wish it did work with HBO GO but I get the same Message upon starting the AP non supported version of android. Hope someone can solve this. Netflix, Hulu, Crackle all work great. Just not HBO GO...

Well I get that too and I have AdFree installed. You just have to wait until the timer counts down. There is a little timer at the top of the video. It should say
Ad 1 of 2 00:30
Then
Ad 2 of 2 00:30
Wait until they are done and it should play. You wont see any ad.
I do notice that it sometimes gets stuck on 00:01. Just try again.
lol thanks i saw that and was like omg it's not working. Trying to set this up for my mom and thanks!
