Hi guys,
Anyone in the UK able to use BBC iPlayer yet? I was able to on my Xperia, but am not able to on this.
Anyone got it working yet?
Thanks

i followed those instructions and it worked.
Or you can try Myplayer a standalone application which also lets you to see the itv programms. Just search the hacking section on this forum
Yeah I use mPlayer quite frequently, as I tend to miss quite a lot of shows most of the time.
It opens up a stream in Windows Media Player however when it starts I get a 'Cannot play format' error, but if I press play it works
Quality is great, however I have two issues so far.
1) Sound level is usually low even when volume is up. I always have to use my earphones with the equaliser on Vocal Boost.
2) The video sometimes stops playing but the audio carries on or in some cases the video stops entirely. I then have to skip or go back a few to get it working again.
I'm running off my wireless 8mbps fibre optic, so it's not a connection issue. Might be how the video is processed or buffered.

I've been trying for days to get the defy to work i want.
I listen to audiobooks, music and podcasts, and I need to be able to control it from the headset
I tried default player, google listen, winamp, doggcatcher. And cant get the thing to work right!!
Music+ doesn't even register the button press, listen resumes and skips to next track, even if you're playing another audio in the background. Winamp on its own is fine but does not download podcasts, and doggcatcher has conflicts with winamp on the headset thing.
Has anyone find a good solution for this? it seems just the way android is built, and the lack of a good unified media player (with or integrated with podcast manager).
Such a disappointment... I was so looking for having an android phone! If I can't find a solution, it seems its not for someone like me untill they integrate things a little more tightly.
Well, it's not the Defy. And while I don't think that Android sucks at playing media I do agree with some of your points. I also listen to audio books and podcast. For the moment I'm using AudioBook Player 2 for audiobooks. It's not prefect by a long shot but it does the job. As for podcast I haven't found anything useful yet. The defaut player is suppose to play podcast but there is no way to skip through. If I have to stop listening to the podcast there is no way of getting back to were I left off. And while the device obviously play videos, and does so quite well, I haven't found any type of video player interface. The only way I can start a video is by going into the gallery and taping on the file I want to play. That dosen't seem right to me.
So yeah, I feel your frustration.

Yes, sorry. I did not meant to bash, its just that I soo wanted to love it... and I don't, and if there is no good solution I think android is not for my for now. I don't know. It has so many great things!
Thanks for your suggestions I'll look into it.
On another subject : When I listen to music, I can't do anything else (switching to landscape mode e.g.), otherwise it's really slow.
Is anybody else having that bug ? Some guy here mentioned it. But he then said he fixed it without having it deodexed. How do you fix this ?
Meridian is a media player that does most of what you want, with the possible exceptin of podcasting (don´t use it, don´t know).
It remembers where you last listened to a track, and if you switch to video (which has a library of it´s own) it still remembers where in the audio track you were when you go back to that. So actually better than WMP there... ;-)
Only thing that grinds my gears with this is an annoying bug that starts a random track when I press the button on any wired headset. If I hang up a call, or if I want to pause and then start playing in Spotify or radio, Meridian starts playing a tune in the background. I thought it was a bug I was having with my Pulse, but it´s there with the Defy as well.
A BT headset has none of these issues though.
Don't worry google is working on a multimedia improvement......soooonnnn soon, also has anyone tried poweramp
Hi,
I just came from a concert and like every fan, I made a lot of videos through my GNex.
But in one of the best performances, for some weird reason, there is no sound. At first I thought it might be because of the size of the video (second biggest). But there is another one (biggest) with a higher size and it has sound without any issues.
Also all the videos before and after it have sound, just except THAT one. Man am I confused beyond measure.
Does anyone else has this issue? Is there a way to get the sound back on that video? I really want to get it working.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hmmm... transfer it to your computer, and see if you can play it there? Idk what media player you use for your computer, but I recommend VLC Media Player, plays everything I throw at it, perfectly. Come back with results.

Actually I found that out on my PC once I had transferred all the videos. And with more digging, I found another video (from the concert) that didn't have sound. So its two from the pack. But it only happened in last night's videos, never happened before.
And I did use VLC to play 'em.
I've read some threads in Google about people complaining for this issue, but they see it more consistently than I do. If it indeed is a mic issue (faulty mic stops working in GNex) then I'm screwed. Didn't expect that to happen on a Google flagship.
But if you guys do have any suggestions to fix it I would be glad to hear 'em. (or find the sound file hidden somewhere in the crevices of android directory structure)
Also if this issue persists, could someone guide me to a Video recording app which shows you your mic equalizer (or spectrum) so that you know when the mic is recording and when its not. So that for videos where you don't see any movement on the mic spectrum you can restart and start taping again instead of losing that magical moment for all eternity... no thanks to you Google!
Hi folks,
Just want to know if someone also have the same problem and if he has succeeded to fix it :
Not always but pretty often when I watching a video on Youtube directly on the web or with the app (WiFi or even 3G) the sound becomes really jerky and the only "solution" to fix it and watch my video in a normal way is to reboot the phone (killing the running tasks has no effect...)
At the beggining I thought it was my headphones but they do work and the MP3 player also works without any problem...
Tks

I have exactly the same issue but it happens with music player as well. Especially with beats on. For example if the phone is locked and screen is off, when i press the unlock button it always jerks music that is on the background.
Any ideas? I'm on 4.0.4
So I've been using Pocket Casts as a podcast player for a while now, and I've never had any issues until switching to the LG G3 (T-Mobile variant).
When I try to play any podcast with .m4a, the podcast will play normally, but the moment I try to use any seeking commands (forward, rewind, pause) the seeker will jump around.
For example, if I pause at 14:53, and then try to restart again, it could randomly jump to 1:10. The same thing happens when I try to forward or rewind.
Curiously, I've noticed that with rewinding and forwarding, they seem to prefer certain time spots. Like if I spam the rewind button, it will constantly go to a certain time period.
If you want to test this yourself, you can try downloading "The Rooster Teeth Podcast" or "The Patch Podcast" on any podcast player, as I know those two use the .m4a format.
To make sure it wasn't the player, I tried downloading podcast addict, which gave the same issue. I also downloaded an earlier episode of the Rooster Teeth Podcast which was an mp3 file, and it played with no issues.
Has anybody else encountered this issue, and does anybody have a fix?
I'd like to bump this seeing as I'm not the only one with this issue. I too tried using other podcast players to play the RT Podcast/Patch, all of them would skip ahead several minutes. They would also refuse to seek past the 45 minute mark or something around there.

Got the same problem with podcast addict. The developer wrote me, that the app is using the internal player. After testing the internal player with m4a files, i can confirm that the issue persist.
I also wrote the LG support about this issue and the answer was: LG does not official support m4a! WTF?
Alternative 1: Use 3. party player. But I didn't find a good one. Only VLC was playing the file but stops audio files if the screen is off.
Alternative 2: Use mp3 feed instead of m4a.

Pretty bummed out about this.

Hello,
Long story short, I have a Sony X950G with Android 9, and for some time, usually every day, randomly, when playing an stream the video and audio pauses on the TV.
I can browse back to the homescreen again, but the system will lose its navigation sound, and if I try to open another app, video won't play (eg, YouTube) or video will play breaking up and without sound (eg, CW app), and the system will feel under stress.
The only way to mitigate the problem is restarting the TV, but the next day will happen again.
I believe this not a networking problem, because I have 100mbps up/ 100mbps down, and it's a reliable connection.
Using the analiti app, the network ttl (round trip) was around 47, 55, 65, is this acceptable? Could this be an issue? I have an Xbox One, and I don't have this issues using streaming apps.
Anyone having a similar issue or ideas on how to fix the problem?
Thanks,
What application is this happening in, or is it on the OTA tuner?

Usually, this happens when I'm watching videos, such as The CW, NBC, Plex, Sony Media Player app, etc. However, yesterday for example, I got the issue as I finish installing the NBC app. Though, I couldn't say if it actually started as I tried to open the Google Play store.
When I sound went off, I was able to navigate, but it felt that the system was using a lot of resources, because moving around and starting apps took a long time.
Disable any/all apps that you don't use?
Factory reset would be next suggestion.
