Hi,
I have an I9100G and I updated it to stock ICS a few weeks back. I transferred a movie to the phone after the update and I'm getting only the audio. The ones which were already there before the update work perfectly fine.
I tried using other video players, and in MX player, it works with software decoding only.
Anyone else have a similar problem?

Maybe its just me, but I've been having some odd issues with video playback on my new Tablet S.
Basically, anything that the Tablet natively supports works just fine. But anything that requires using a Software Decoder (like MX Video Player, or QQPlayer etc) goes weird. The audio and the video will become unsynced as the video playback framerate is much lower than the original file while the sound plays at the normal speed, sending it far ahead of the displayed video.
Does anyone have any suggestions on better ways to play non-supported video files?
Dice player has worked for me without any problems. I've heard of problems with sync on MX but who knows, give Dice a try and see if it helps...
MOBOPLAYER.

Hi y'all
I dont know if my transformer is hard ware damaged or if i have a software problem.
Problem description:
I just exchanged my transformer prime for a replacement unit since the HDMI was broken on my old unit.
I reinstalled MX player and started playing a video (H264) and it keeps crashing. The player will kill itself and once, it even went into a weird stripe crash and had to be hard rebooted. I uninstalled the codec pack for MX player, did it on software encoding, no hard crash, but MX player keeps dying.
I tried vplayer, which doesnt seem to crash but the audio/video sync is off. Now I cant remember having this problem on my old unit.
I then proceeded to download the glowball demo to 'tickle' the tegra cores, in case its a cpu/gpu issue, and that worked fine without crashing.
unrooted, locked bootloader with all software updates from Asus.
i am out of ideas, any pointers what could be wrong / how i can locate the issue?
cheers

I have similar problem with u on the video playback, however I manage to play MP4 and MKV files without crash.
MV Player stops when I play any rmvb files which is quite annoying as most of my video are rmvb.
I wonder if it crashes the codec when we try installing different Video players.
saw a new video player on the forum and gonna try it tonight ~ hope this will work~

lets keep talking about this issue and I believe some other users have the similar issue too...
wow VLC build for ARM, impressive
What REALLY is annoying that i get a "not supported" from the stock player. How come the standard Android 4 player does not know the h264 codec ?
Did it work?
Try moboplayer out too and see if that is any different.

I will next, cheers
I just tried the VLC port. it does the same thing of crashing (but its alpha, so hey )
edit:
just tried a xvid file with moboplayer, same crash
all the apps just stop playing the video and return to video select screen
i have seen a couple of Tegra 2 optimized players, nothing for tegra 3 yet?
edit 2:
mx player has an experimental build where you can increase the cores to 4 for sw decoding, havent tried that yet
cheers

I have the same on Tegra 3 - tried MX player, MX player with ARM 7 codec, Mobo player - they just kill themselves during the playback....
Will try more players, not sure if that will help at all...
Dice player seems to have the best interface other then mx.
But no crashes and everything runs with hardware decoding that I've tried.
I too am am having lots of mx player crashes after the jellybean update on my stock uprooted transformer prime. The stock player also crashes.... This never happened on ice cream sandwich. Anyone fi d a solution to make video playback more stable?
Try S/W decoder.
I had a similar problem just a few minutes ago. I deactivated H/W+ decoder and it worked perfectly.
Sometimes, hardware can't play everything. You should try and play these videos with S/W decoder.
I might be wrong. I just said what helped me.
Recently updated to ics rom, however, the stock video player no longer plays avi files as it did with gb rom. I have flashed several gb roms since (full wipe each time) and still won't play. I've tried several stock video apks from this forum too yet still no joy. I have read that Samsung have stopped supporting sum codecs on ics update (Galaxy nexus owners are having similar issues). I'm back on gb rom but avi is still not playing as I'm getting the 'unsupported file' message bearing in mind the same file played fine prior to ics update. How do I get back or reinstall the original codecs? Flashing gb roms doesn't fix it either!
Probably not the answer you want, but you could do worse than opening your wallet and buying MX Video Player or Dice Player.
I bought both, and have yet to find a file/codec that neither can play.
The stock player (I'm on GB too) borked too often for no reason on too many file types for me. Never tried it on ICS.
iv got mx player, it works when using sw decoder. use to work on hw encoder for both mx and stock player.
I have a couple of videos which play fine in MX with HW encoding, but with no audio. The same videos play fine with perfect audio in Dice with HW encoding.
Codecs are fussy buggers. I do all my own encoding with MeGUI/avisynth - no shortcuts - and still haven't found one profile for all, so I chop and change.
Only bought Dice a couple of weeks ago, but it's overtaken MX as my default player. There's a free version with intensely annoying nag banners if you want to try it.
Thanks for suggestion, but ultimately, I'd like the stock player to be working as it did with gb with hw decode. This ics update has been a disaster on sammys part, ruined the excellent vid player, ruined the phone apk wrt contact options been omitted. Maybe success is getting to them!
What version of ICS fw were you running or what ROM? I have had no problems whatsoever playing videos on ICS using stock. I use my phone a lot for watching videos and need it to function properly as I take the train to and from work a few hours a day. Were you running an AOKP or CM9 based rom?
If you still can't play when reverting back to GB, I'd suggest a full wipe, wpe cache/partition. Then flash a GB stock rom through ODIN. See if that works?
Tried that, still no joy. Was on gb kk5 rom. But now keep getting unsupported file!?
Hi guys,
I am having issue streaming MKV files off a Windows share from my S3.
I am using DicePlayer, and even tried other ones (MX, VLC beta and other ones ...).
The application will be buffering and then go back to the file browser.
I was using the exact same technic with my S2 and it worked just fine.
I am using the stock Samsung ROM, rooted.
Have you guys tried that at all?
I haven't tried to store the mkv on the SD/internalSD storage yet but that would defeat the purpose ...
Thanks !
Hey Guys,
I have been experiencing playback problems ever since I got ICS. Playing 1080P videos in MKV or MP4 format was never a problem. Now quickbox and stock player will not even open files like this (1080P clips around 500-700mb). The only player so far which is able to run them is MX player and it lags and stutters (so un watchable). AVI formats work just fine and this sort of playback was just fine on Gingerbread. Anyone know of a solution?
Also please don't tell me to convert these video to 720P or anything else like that etc, it's a nuisance and I want to be able to play all formats (which worked before) on my phone from the get go.
