[Q] Rooted and Flashed with CM 11. "Can't play videos"? - Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet

~EDIT~
Recently I rooted and flashed CM 11. Any time I try to go and play a video, whether it's from the internal storage, sd card, or stream from a website, I just get "Can't play video."
Does anyone know of any reasons why this would be happening and how how to fix it? Or any suggestions? Should I reflash?
Also, usually when you hold down the Droid Home button you get a list of all recent apps as well as a link to the Task Manager at the bottom. There is no such link now though. Is this an Android Kitkat thing or a CM thing? How do I get to the Task Manager?

There seem to be pretty significant shortcuts/features missing and I can't tell if thats because it's kitkat, or because it's CM.
Example:
1.) Sound - ~EDIT~ Found "Sound" button. Wishing it had "vibrate" mode but at least now I can Toggle normal/mute.
2.) Brightness - On this one, there is a Button that takes you to a brightness bar, which is fine... but it won't let me select "Auto". It seems more like a glitch than anything when I tap it.

The NT hardware does not have vibration or light sensor capabilities.

Thank you ^_^ Fair enough, She can definitely live without them.
Now its just a matter of understanding why videos can't be played. It wouldn't have anything to do with which gApps I used would it?

Videos cannot be played because of a kernel bug. The CM11 Official Nightlies have this issue fixed.
If you are running the official CM11 nightlies, what build number is it? Could be a regression.

I apologize,
Ive been checking for updates periodically, but Im not very familiar with what nightlies are. I figure these are updates/patches that are done on a nightly bases.
Right now my CyanogenMod Version is
11-20131220-UNOFFICIAL-acclaim
Build Number:
cm_acclaim-userdebug 4.4.2 KOT49H e9e3ba9b67 test-keys
Thanks to your post, I went ahead into "About Tablet" and then into CyanogenMod Updates to take a closer look. Since flashing CM11 Ive only been checking "New Versions (Stable only)", but I didn't even realize you can change which updates you can search for... so again I thanks to your suggestion I changed it to "Update types: New Versions (incl, Nightlies)"
Three options became available... so I downloaded cm-11-20140218-NIGHTLY.
Should I install?

I'd suggest trying the M3 snapshot: cm-11-20140210-SNAPSHOT-M3-acclaim.zip (http://download.cyanogenmod.org/get/jenkins/58498/cm-11-20140210-SNAPSHOT-M3-acclaim.zip).

Awesome,
As always, thank you very much
Now, Is that something I could just download and run straight from the tablet main UI? Or would I download it, put into same bootSD card I used to flash CM, reboot nook into recovery and then flash the snapshot zip? Either way isfine, just want to know which way to go.

You have to flash the zip via recovery (either TWRP or CWM, depends on what you have installed).
Make sure to do these things while in recovery, before flashing the zip. Do *not* touch /rom, /factory, /recovery:
1. wipe cache partition;
2. wipe dalvik-cache;
3. wipe data partition;
4. wipe system partition;
5. NOW you can flash the zip.
