My GS3 can't seem to play any video of any format using the stock video player or any 3rd party video player app using hardware mode. Software mode works but it isn't really the solution i'm looking for.
I'm at my wits end. I tried everything, including a factory reset to no avail.
I'm running stock rom on my GT-i9300 flashed with the latest vesrion of Siyah kernel. I also did some tweaking using Ext Tweak to overclock and changed the I/O scheduler to cfq. I did these same tweaks on my old GS2 before with no problems so i'm not sure if this was the cause. I did change all the settings back to default but the problem persists.
I really need advise. Thanks.
Friend of mine had the same problem. It helped to delete the cache/data of the video programs/wipe the cache via cwm and do a clean up with sd maid. Maybe this way could help you too, but withou guarantee.

Hi all, I've been very interested with XDA-Developers since i bought my LG P500. I'm currently having an issue with video playback on my phone. Here's a quick rundown of my slightly tweaked phone:
Stock Froyo 2.2 rom v10a
Franco kernel v18.1
Rooted phone with superuser,rom manager,titanium backup,root explorer etc..
And here's my problem:
I wanted to get rid of the buggy stock video app on my froyo,and use one from the market.So, i took precautions and made a backup of stock video player 1.64 using TBackup, deleted the stock vid app using TB itself, then installed a new video app from the market (actually i installed a few..). But when i try to play a video stored on my phone/sdcard with my new vid app, it causes a 'force close' error for all the different vid apps.
I then thought i might hav made an error deleting the stock vid app. So i tried to restore it using TB, but when trying to restore, it remained stuck on the 'Restoring App' and kept on and on trying to restore. I even needed to restart my phone for that to stop, and of course the stock vid app was still not restored.
I tried another workaround: using root explorer, i gained access to system/app folder on my phone and tried to install the stock system video.apk in it, with R/W. still nothing.tried changing the permissions as well, still nothing. I am at a loss here friends, and do not intend to flash a custom rom for the moment [i.e. until i try the official gingerbread rom and see for myself if it is good enough, else, either mik's 6.6 or noejn's rom..] So please, help me guys on this one to get my stored videos working again on my stock froyo rom..
Thx.
Have u tried rockplayer universal version.. and make sure that the video is not above the resolution of 680*320
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA App
No i havent tried rockplayer, but i'll give it a go, even though i'm pretty sure the outcome will be the same. Also, the video i am trying to play is one which i recorded with my lg p500 camera itself. That video was playing fine before i removed the stock video app.. Now no video stored on my phone is playing. On the other hand, my youtube app streams youtube videos just fine..
I think maybe i am gonna hav to look for a system dump, extract the stock vid app, and somehow try to shove it into system apps using root explorer..

I think that's the way to go. Get hold of it from somewhere, from a nand backup, or from a stockrom.zip. Plus the stock rom is not deodexed, so you'll need the apk and the odex file as well. Or you could simply perform a factory reset.

As it is, there is no odex file for the stock movie player app in system/app folder. Can anyone please brief me as to how I should go about restoring my stock vid app on my lg p500 and get my vids to work again?

Do u have any idea where i can get an odex file for the stock video player app? i cant seem to find one anywhere.. I've also got a nand backup, but they r all img. files.. how should i go about extracting the apk and odex files i need from the nand backup?
Just try this enable USB debugging than use TB to restore the app.
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA Premium App
Still doesn't work even with usb debugging on. TB wont restore it at all.. It's like stuck in a loop while trying to restore the stock vid app.. Can anyone send me a link where I can download a system dump of froyo 2.2 for lg p500?

Regarding the TB restoring issue, I face it every time and I've totally stopped trying to restore. I got fed up
Have you tried flashing the addon packages for void forever ROM? There is a package which has the stock video app I suppose. Try flashing it through CWM.
[EDIT]: Sorry I didn't notice that you're using 2.2. I don't think the void forever addon pack would work.
I've finally found a workaround for this problem guys.i downloaded a vid app called mx video player as well as it's associated codec addon from the market.my stored vids are working again as long as I keep both of them apps on my phone..
The pair of them (app + addon) are quite heavy though, anyone knows a lighter equivalent by any chance?

install busybox from market, run the app and click install, its shows status- done which can give u R/W access to system partition and the install vm heap tool. set vm heap size 48 MB. then install mobo player and then mobo player codec from then market. go to the menu of mobo player tick mark soft decording option. and ur phone can play even 720p videos. Its lag but its can play. Use XVID4PSP convert software for best playing for P-500

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!
last week i've swapped my gf's sdcard to format her data and put mine back in my phone
After that, i couldn't find media in the stock app like gallery or music (gallery, google play and AOSP music app)
but i can access that media via external app like QuickPic or PowerAmp
have tried these methods but that's NOT help solving my issue
- flash Stock ICS Rom via ODIN and flash the ROM over it. (stock music player can see my music too, but I didn't notice if the stock gallery could see my photos)
- format /system before install the ROM
- tried the mediaReScan app from the Play Store
- tried install CM10/AOKP ROM but the problem is still there
- any methods i could get from google
anyone facing issue like me? and if you have solved it, How??
for others who doesn't face this issue, do you have any advice for me? thanks
P.S. i'm on SlimBean 3.1 with Siyah Kernel
still waiting for the solution
Hard to find an answer, because you tried everything I would have done as well.
Did you try to fix permissions in recovery?
Wipe cache and dalvik?
Hi. Got a strange sound problem on my S3. Have Omega Rom installed XXEMB5 v 43.1 and J-Kay 14.92.9. Stock Kernel After some time my phone does not have any sound. If i try to play a sound withsound player it says that it is not supported. Cannot play any Youtube video, no ringtone or notification sound. If I reboot the phone everything works normal again for some time until the problem is there again. Tried to reset to factory, wiped and reformatted the internal and external memory card and reinstalled Rom and Jkay. Anyone knows about this problem or have a solution?

Hello everybody,
I am new to this site. I just need your help. I rooted my galaxy s2 and installed deodexed rom with multi window feature. But the thing is that I accidently deleted default video player and now I am not able to play videos on tv via all share. I dont want to install that ROM again. So I just want its default video player and the instruction on how can I install that. pls reply me asap
You should be able to re-install the ROM without wiping data/cache and ensure that the video player is checked (if using Aroma installer).
Alternatively, you may be able to find an .apk and install from your SD.
There are many other third party video players in the play store as well - some, arguably better!

Thanks for your quick reply. Sorry i am not too much familiar with all this. You said "ensure that video player is checke" I did nt understand this. There is no apk file of default video player. And yes there a number of better video players like MX but i want that default player to let the videos play on my Samsung LED tv

There's always an .apk ! Check this out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2204423 .
If not, reinstall the ROM but no need to wipe if re-installing if that's what was putting you off doing it.
