I have a problem with playing video files (movies about 700mb) (.avi, .mkv) on my galaxy s2. The video files on the device do not appear in the gallery, when I open them using a file explorer the video starts with a black screen and wierd (distorted) sounds. Some files won't open at all. I am running Rexurrection remix v3.1.1 and the problem started when I first flashed v3.8. So I dual booted to check if its the ROM.
I'm running MIUI-2.10.19 as secondary, but the problem still persists on both the ROMs. However, videos shot on camera and received through whatsapp play flawlessly. Putting the files on external sd or internal storage doesnt seem to make a difference. I've tried installing third party apps too but in vain.
I'm a newbie and tried to solve the problem reading solutions from other threads. But none seems to work.
Please suggest a solution.

Hello, I'm a new member here. I've browsed the forums from time to time but never registered until today because I'm in need of some help.
After browsing and searching online and on this forum, I haven't seen anyone with a problem similar to mine.
So, being brief:
Not a single type of video is playable on my phone. Youtube.com, YouTube App, videos from my phone's SD Card, videos I recorded with this phone a few days ago, nothing. Videos I was able to watch on my phone before also suddenly stopped working. I also can't record videos.
On the other hand, my camera works perfectly, so does the music player.
I haven't added any weird adds or anything of the sort. I've attached screenshots of my "About Phone" info, and two other screenshots of what it looks like when I try to play videos on the YouTube App and videos that are directly saved on my phone.
If help is available, I'll appreciate it highly.
Thanks in advance!
Pedro.
P.S. I'm posting here continuing from the Galaxy S I9000 General forum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=27504129#post27504129).
Since then, I've done the following:
-Rebooted the system and re-installed the latest Kernel version.
-Uninstalled and re-installed YouTube.
-Installed MX Player. This solved the problem I faced while playing videos from my phone, but still can't watch videos from YouTube.
-Went through my Apps and found that I'm missing the Video Player app (click picture)
-Facroty Reset to no avail.
I'm running out of ideas right about now. I've had this phone for about a month and a half, and installed ICS on it on day 3 or so. Ever since, the videos were working properly, lagless and flawlessly, just a few days ago problems started appearing.
Perhaps the Video Player apk would do? I can't seem to find it anywhere for my phone.
Thanks a lot!
Hmmm never heard that befoure..
I gues it has something to do with the custom rom ure running on ur I9000
but befoure whipeing data/cash partition u may try this
go to settings --> aplications --> search for youtube (u found it ive seen it on ur screenshots ) open the dialouge box where u can uninstall it and delete all aplication data (its like a factory reset for the app) afterwards try again
if nothin works backup contacs messages etc and head for the recovery mode whipe data/cash
if this wont fix ur issue try to reflash the custom rom in recovery mode

Well, had to install another custom ROM. It seems the one I had wasn't compatible with the Kernel I was using. Problem has been solved, and now I'm using 4.0.4, so it's all good!
Thanks a lot for the constant help!

Hello, in order not to start a new thread, I'm gonna post here.
I have a chinese tablet(Herotab C8) with I9000 internals(S5PC110).
I have some green artifacts in the upper left corner on youtube videos(using Youtube app) and also in some games intro videos. On some games videos I have green artifacts, on others I have some strange horizontal lines.
Here is an example, filmed by me:
http://youtu.be/pczqsus_v6U
The first, with the green stuff is a youtube app video, the next is the intro of NFS Hot Pursuit.
I've tried an .avi on Mobo Player and it works just fine, no green artifacts(although in software mode, ARMv7 codecs installed...)
If anyone has any ideea, please share!
Thanks!

I got fed up and just re-install ROM and it worked.
G'day guys. First I would like to apologize just incase this has already been posted. I found a few threads in relation to storage issues but none of them seemed to have the same problem as mine. If this has already been discussed please post the link to the thread here.
I have an issue with my Samsung Galaxy S III I9300. Originally I had this rooted and flashed with a custom rom (I can't remember which one it was about 12 months ago). It was running fine. But I recently decided to remove the SD card as I wish to use it in another device. So I copied all the data from the SD card onto my PC, and then I copied the data from my PC to the phone storage after I had removed the SD card from the phone.
Again the phone worked fine. But then one morning after taking my phone off charge later in the day at work I tried to go into the gallery and it would come up with the message in the below screen shot.
s28(dot)postimg(dot)org/vk4exjdlp/Screenshot_2014_01_06_19_53_26.png (sorry for having to do that XDA won't allow new members to post links/images)
I tried a few things to fix it but I only have an intermediate grasp of features and hacks ect ect. So I decided the best thing to do was to flash back to a completely standard rom. Which I did just an hour ago (Using the I9300XXEMC3_I9300NEEEMC1_I9300XXEMB6_HOME.tar relased from samsung flashed via Odin 3.07)
However even after this factory flash I still have this issue! I can't access the gallery and I can't save images at all. If anybody could help with this issue it would be greatly appreciated!

Maybe because you have removed your external SD card your camera app is trying to store images to it but it can't because it's not there... See if you can change in camera settings where it stores your images to internal instead of external.
The phone automatically changed the settings to storage device when the SD card was removed. Never the less I doubled checked and indeed it is set to device.
It's not just the camera tho. Nothing will save. Screenshots, downloads, camera ect ect. I can't open the gallery app at all.
Also I just noticed a secondary problem. When I open up the camera app I can see everything fine inside the app but when I go to take a photo I doesn't save it (which I already knew, part of the original problem) but I just noticed when I tried to close the camera app after taking a photo it wouldn't let me! It would not close. All the setting tabs greyed out so I couldn't go into any of the menus and I had to force restart the phone to be able to use it again!!!!

Clear all data and freeze the one that's causing problems and backup and uninstall and use another..If you like stock camera try one of the modded ones in themes thread...
This thread can be closed now.
I'm still not exactly sure what the problem was or specifically what fixed it. But last night i decided to root the phone again and install a custom rom (I installed Android Revolution HD 40.0) and after it was flashed everything works as normal.
So sorry if you happen to have the same problem as me and stumbled across this thread at a later date. I don't know how to fix the problem but apparently a root and custom rom works wonders. lol.
Thanks for the help anyway tallman43.
Hi guys,
i've been struggling with this issue for weeks,tried everything and still didn't find a solution.
When i copy/cut large files, the tranfer speed suddently drops to 0kb/s and freezes.
It happens on operation within the phone and when tranfer file from pc too.
I've obiouvsly done dozen of total wipes.
I've tried different 4.4.2 roms.
I've tried different file mananger apps.
I've tried different kernels.
I've done a chkdsk on internal and external sd cards.
I've tried another external sd card.
So, because I was concerned about an hardware failure, I flashed the stock 4.1.2 rom.....used it for 4-5 days and the problem was gone.
Back to 4.4.2 and the issue is still here.
The strange thing is I don't have this issue with a fresh installed rom...it comes after configuring and using the phone for a while.
I've done an intensive google research,but seems no one has this problem,hope somebody can help
cheers:fingers-crossed:

as I said, is not only a problem when tranferring from pc to phone, but it happens also when copy files from phone to phone !
it happens even in recovery mode mounting usb storages!
nobody with a similar problem?
I had same problem like this. When I copied large no. of photos & videos from PC to my S2, I would get android.media FC everytime, so what I did is make a .nomedia file (using file manager) in a folder and copied there, that fixed it.

I accidentally thanked you when clicking reply button lol.
I don't have any FC.....just the transfer speed goes down to 0kb/s and never resume...
how it's possible that i'm the only one in the world with this problem??????????
I'm Running CYANOGENMOD 13.1. (6.0.1.)
Basically I had issues of the Moving Media to SD Nature.
Searched google for Apps or information before and found ways for Previous Devices to Fix those Media Moving to SD issues.
Now, I've Searched Google for a SD Fix for my Device (LG Volt), no such luck until I ran across XINTERNALSD Thats been said to Somewhat Fix these SD issues or at least Find a Method at most to be compatible with SD.
I've ticked all the options for it to allow access to SD card. It works (Somewhat). The Folder Path is "Storage/4088-8EFD/".
I've Enabled all Apps including System apps.
The Drawback is... MX Player Doesn't read any Videos At All, Not Just that, My Music Player show Nothing at all (Unless I make a Sound Record File, Only those show up.).
I've copied music files in internal storage in every folder regarding music including the Sound Recorders folder of which the Music player will only read. I've copied music files in the ExternalSD as well (Even through Storage/4088-8EFD/).
Just in case you ask.
Yes, I've Even Set the correct Current Folder in MX Player to " Storage/4088-8EFD/"
Also (Somewhat) Having Issues when downloading anything on the Net.
I get the "Android.Process.Media Has Stopped".
From what I gather when using Titanium Backup, Scrolling to the bottom and seeing " Media" Scratched out.
I do believe it may be the Fact that I preformed a Dirty Flash...? I'm not Sure.
Long story short, I was last Running SlimKat Rom 4.4.4.
LG Volt Devices have Crappy 1GB RAM.
I use to play PokémonGo until they Stopped Rooted users From Playing.
But inorder to play the game without glitches or Hanging, I disabled and/or Titanium Backup Disabled Apps AND System Apps Like The System App Media.Process Not sure if thats exactly The System Apps Package Name.
Thus I don't believe I re-enabled the Media System Package App BEFORE Flashing to CyanogenMod 13.1.
I'm In Dire Need of Help for I haven't Crossed any Forums that were remotely helpful to me..
I'll Try and Attach all my ScreenShots if it Helps.
