I was watching the Daily Show online tonight with my new Sony S, and about five minutes into it the screen went black ... I got the image back only now the video wouldn't play ...
Uhh .... Is this supposed to happen? I've never seen this before. Afterwards I set the screen time out to 30 minutes, but I don't really want the screen to go black thirty minutes into watching a movie either ...
That's definitely not meant to be the case. What are you using to watch that video? Most video playback plugins and apps for Android include at least an option to keep the screen awake during playback.

Hi. I have some serious issue with my vibrant which is just 3~4 months old
Recently, my vibrant had problem playing video files. When I play a certain
video, it stops playing within 1 minute, pause, and I have to manually press "play"
again in order to start a video again. The problem is, same thing happens
after I press the play button, within 1 minute, video stops, pause, and I have to
do the same thing over and over. This happens when I play a video with stock
video player. Let's say If I play a movie with "soul movie," then the different problem
persists, where this time the video turns into black screen and then continue on
playing for about another less than a minute again. Although I do not have to press the play
button in the "soul movie", the video doesn't last 1 min before it turns into black
screen and resume again.
I haven't had this problem at all until recent days, I tried everything I could,
rebooting, re-inserting micro sd. It can't be codec problem cuz I used to play
this video flawlessly before. Now, I hope I don't have to "factory reset" the
phone. I'm very reluctant to do it. (Also, I don't know how to...)
Can anyone please help me with these issues. I'll really appreciate it
Thank you and HAPPY NEW YEAR.
try an alternate video player like doubletwist and see if the problem still persists.I know I don't use the stock music our video players for anything, they're kinda bad.

thanks for reply. I tried doubletwist and same thing happens as when i play movie with soul movie.
So, it's like
STOCK MOVIE PLAYER-----> PLAY, STOP PLAYING, AND NEED TO RESUME MANUALLY
SOUL MOVIE, DOUBLE TWIST-----> PLAY, BLACK SCREEN, AND AUTO PLAY AGAIN
THIS ALL OCCURS WITHIN 1 MIN OF PLAYING ANY MOVIE
I've been using my touchpad to watch shows online through tv-links and 1 channel I only watch shows on megavideo and videozer links after I installed 3.04, whenever I would watch a show random tv channels start playing like the sound does and the video in flash turns into like scrambled tv like watching porn in the old days.. Sometimes I'd pick up news, sometimes commercials and after shows, right now there's a Xiaoxiao Chinese movie playing its been playing for 45 mins in the background and the show was only 20 mins its in Chinese with Jackie Chan I don't understand why this is happening.. Anybody else having this problem?
Hey guys,
Got my Prime 3 days ago, everything is working as expected (Amazing product) except one slight problem.
I've been trying to watch embedded video in the stock browser and I seem to be having issues. I'm using stock browser, with the latest flash player installed.
When I get to the video, the screen shows blank and I see in both screen sides a 1 centimeter of distorted colors, which seems to be part of the video itself, but not organized. In full screen view I just see it blank.
When I refresh sometime I actually see the video frozen on some image.
I refresh, switch quality for dozens of times before I get a normal video.
Could someone test the following streaming website for me? mobafire.com/streams (It's League Of Legends game streaming)
(I'm showing as a new user so I couldn't get the link itself posted yet, just add www in the beginning please)
Just choose any stream there, there are around 10 always.
I want to understand if it's only happening on my prime.
Thanks in advance.
Guy?
Anyone encountered this behavior? Could anyone take a minute or two to test the video I mentioned above on his prime?
yes this week end i would watch live soccer on a website with flashplayer
the video was very laggy no possible to pu on full screen the screen was blank
adobe flashplayer was not very good on ics
Also experienced this on both stock browser and Dolphin HD.
One thing I've noticed is that if the page has just one embedded video, no problemo. Plays perfect. Also, don't try to zoom in on the video until after the video starts playing.
But when you have more than one embedded video, it has serious audio sync and loading issues. Oh and trying to full-screen from anything BUT the youtube app will give you terrible results.
I'll give it a shot to try and wait until the stream already starts playing before I fullscreen, but I doubt if it will change anything...
No I don't mean fullscreen, I mean zoom. Fullscreen will always fail miserably. Zoom, yannow, screen-pinching, can get you pretty close to fullscreen.
I see, I'll give it a shot thanks
Can someone that has all video working correctly give the streaming above a shot? I'm particularly interested to know how long, if any it takes you to get a normally working stream.
I have problems watching embedded youtube videos on the stock ICS browser. My experience... If I click play on the video, only the sound plays and the video doesn't appear. If I refresh the browser page, it always seems to work the second go around with no issue.
Not sure why it doesn't load correctly the first time around.
So I have a strange one... I was watching a movie yesterday and tried to pause it but my hand moved across the screen and I turned something on... now when I watch something, it plays for 10 seconds, than restarts (just once), until I stop it and start it up again... it goes for 10 seconds and restarts the movie.
It does this with every movie player app I try (mobo, mx, etc) so it's as if it's a system setting (since all the movie apps are picking it up).
I'm running Gingerbread 2.3.6 (CriskeloRom v.38 to be exact)...
Already tried clearing the media settings (in the various media players) but this did not help. Anyone have any thoughts what I turned on and how to turn it off????
When using some apps on the second screen to watch videos while trying to do other things on the main screen or vice versa....if you touch the screen not playing the video, it pauses the video playing on the other screen....which makes multi tasking useless.
I just got it a few days ago so I haven't tested all my apps but it does this with HBO Max and Google news playing a video so far.
The other thing is, is it possible to stretch a video to fill the screen instead of having it in a tiny rectangle?
Thanks

I'm able to pinch zoom on Netflix to fill up the screen.
I'm having the same problem. It was only with hbo max, the second screen would stop playing she using the main screen. Now it's doing it to all videos and it used to not. Idk what has changed but idk how to fix it.
Same problem here. I'm suspecting new update broke the features. Can't chat in discord and watch Netflix at the same time....
I remember one reviewer mentioning this happening with apps in general, especially games. I.e. If playing a game that requires you to wait for actions to complete, switching to the other screen to work while you waited would pause the game on the non-active screen.
