Sorry, this video cannot be played

Alright, guys. I've been searching for an answer to this problem for about 2 weeks now and I can't find a great answer.
I converted my AT&T Tilt to Android successfully and I've been trying out a series of different ROMs to find the one that works the best for me. Currently, I am running 2.6.32_VOGUIMG-320-FROYO-01-16-11.NBH from l1q1d with barebones 5.1. However, I have tryied Incubus's Super Froyo, Myn's Warm Donut, etc. I've been very happy with most of the builds; however, I have problems playing video in every single release of Android that I have tried. This includes through Android's included movie player, Meridian, and the youtube app. I am using panel type 2 when I reconfigure the kernal using atools. I don't know if this is the correct panel type, as I don't know how to figure out which one I have. I don't know if this makes a difference for video.
Does anyone have any suggestions about how I could get video working in Android on my phone? It's the last missing link in getting my phone to work the way I want. Thanks.

Seriously. No one else has experienced this problem? I've literally spent hours searching XDA trying to find a solution.

Youtube works on mine... tell you what. Flash the nbh with panel type 1.
Even if you get screen artifacts, or other issues, try the video. If you can play, then you've isolated the problem to the panel type. If not... oh well.
I'll try meridian and see what i get.

Just out of curiosity, I tried flashing it with all three different panel types; same results. I have overclocked to 520 mhz; would this cause any problems? Every other program seems to work fine. I'm honestly baffled.

Via Atools or RogueTools ?

Via atools. Thanks.

Do not OC via Atools. Might not have nothing to do with it, but RogueTools seems MUCH more stable. Just and advice

Removing the overclocking from atools has not made any difference. Thanks for the suggestion, though.

Same problem. I managed to play some videos with poor quality, so maybe this is a performance related problem.

Looks like it's back to WM for me. The lack of video is a dealbreaker for me. Sorry that you're having the same issue, sloikas. Windows plays everything I've thrown at it.

Back to the dark ages on our kaisers lol? What may be affecting your video playback is the radio rom. It actually contains a little more than the radio and in my experience can affect playback of videos. Also if your trying to stream over edge, good luck with that. Over wifi I have next to no issues with Barebones 4.55, overclocked to 575 mhz and on wifi.

Thanks for the reply. Just out of curiosity, I tried three different radios: 1.70.18.02, 1.70.19.09, and 1.71.09.01. Same results with each of them. I don't have a data connection with my phone, so I am only using wifi. I have also tried to play MP4's on my SD card.

Video is supposed to be working. How exactly do you have it set up atm?

use KAISIMG, And mind that you need a corresponding kernel. Atools is creating problems for me in editing the kernels. I suggest you try a stock kernel with respective build. (FROYO kernel for FROYO, Eclair kernel for Eclair and Donut's for Donut). So far, Meridian is the best media player for me and I am using it on Donut (Warbyte's or Myn's ? your choice).
To check which panel type is nice and good is to check your SCREEN's colours. Are they perfect? is Touchscreen working good? and is brightness set good. First thing you notice after flashing wrong panel type is colours. Deformed Colours, usually u see each pixel as showing rainbows.
Flash a KAISIMG kernel I say and do not play with them on Atools / iHex or what so ever.
For instance try this,
http://phobos-lab.net/android/Warbyte Donut RLS04.zip
kernel is included and panel type is set to 1, Device keyboard is set to HTC Kaiser default. I say use iHex to edit the nbh for your suited panel type/keyboard.
Installing Data on SD Card can cause browsers to malfunction and almost Force Close on anything. Try installing on NAND (both SYS and DATA)

To play video, convert your clips/video to mp4 and use yxplayer to play them. This was the only working solution for video issues for me. Now I can play any video as long as it's in mp4 format and i'm using yxplayer to play it.
About youtube...are you on WIFI or mobile net? Youtube on wifi defaults to HQ video which our kaisers cannot play for some reason. Solution use 3G/H or if you're on wifi .......when the clip is loading click a HQ icon on the screen it should be in the right upper corner on the screen(depending on youtube app. version) that should load LQ/MQ version which plays fine on kaiser.

Thanks so much to dark_prince. His instructions worked perfectly for me. I now have a perfectly working (for me) Android phone. Awesome! Thanks to all that tried to assist.

Was just curious as to what build you were using. It basically sounded like he said to use a vanilla build with atools edit'd for whatever build you are going to use. I hate Donut just due to how old and slow it is. I do not think the build you are using matters, it sounds like you had a kernel configuration problem if it is now working.

for OLD I might agree. But for SLOW I wont ever. Donut is far far far far far far better than those eclairs or froyos out there. Particularly when my battery lasts for a day on Eclair / Froyo, it lasts for almost 48 hours crisp while using Donut. So please sir...

Well its like I said before, it is really the kernel that is making battery last longer. My barebones with a proper .32 kernel (Still waiting for clemsyn's .32 to be committed to git) and stock speeds is plenty fast and gets almost equal battery with more features and apps. I of course could overclock it but that drops battery to around a day which is more than adequate.

video doesn't work for me either....
I have VOGUIMG-320-FROYO-01-16-11 changed to kaiser and to panel 2 with atools... CM 6.1 barebones build both sys and data on nand... and is working really fine ( is the only one i've tried... )
already installed meridian and rockplayerbass the best i could get was with rockplayerbass with software render but the image was very ver slow... =(
erickrause01 , did you installed only kernel or entire build that dark_prince advised? and did you changed panel? what is the difference to change panel with atools and ihex? ( dunno how to use it ;P but if necessary will learn...
If only the kernel is needed to be changed, if i install new kernel do my installed build be ok or the process is re-installing kernel and then build again? i'm still with this doubt...
I would like to stay with this build because almost everything is running fine... little by little i'm getting my android to "perfection" hehe although some apps aren't working i'm finding solutions for almost everything.. video and camera is not one of that .. yet ;P
sorry for the bad english ;P
edit: when installing kernel i've changed name to KAISIMG
edit2: build is Scoot CyanogenMod 6.1 RLS5.5 not barebones....

am i missing something with the evo? (Alot of *****ing)

i just switched from the epic 4g to the evo (tried for 30 days, but the pentile matrix was a deal breaker). I flashed myn's rom. and netarchy's latest stable kernel. 4.3.1 -conservative, screen off profile too.
is it supposed to be this slow? I had to remove all the animations just to bear.
is it supposed to be so choppy?
why can't websites load quick enough? is it the flash?
the text is so blurry, is there a sharper font?
the battery? wtf. if i put it to sleep, it's ok. but with the screen on (relatively light to medium use) it won't last the day.
how do i watch videos?
am i missing somethings?

I dont know what you're talking about. I'm running the plain myn with the kernel he provides and it's fast as hell and stable. Maybe the kernel u installed is causing problems.
Try doing a full wipe and reflashing with whatever he provides.
As far as the internet goes, there is a problem with the hosts file that myn has in rls5. Download ad-free from the market, click Revert, then download the newest host files. That will fix your slow internet.

Sounds like something is jacked with your flash of the rom. Did you download rls5? What radios do you have? RLS5 is blazing fast.

Try going back to the kernel that was provided with the ROM. This is one of the most fast and stable ROMs I've flashed for the Evo.

i actually did try that, but the battery was draining more that i liked. it probably was something that i did. I will try trouble-shooting later. Thanks alot though.

Sounds like somethin in your setup is acting up...
I've tried 3 different ROMs (CM6 currently) and havent ever had "bad" battery life... and I do use my phone, have email/FB/wether updating hourly and I check other Email, news, etc all the time... watch a video here and there.... My battery never lasts less than a day...
I'd say just wipe everything and try another ROM/kernel... hopefully that'll help

Just like everyone says wipe your cache & Dalvik. Matter fact do like i do if your running clockwork wipe it 2x or 3x's. Get Rom Manager and and update your clockwork to the latest 3.0.0.2 <<--i think thats it.
Wipe and re flash should solve your problem. I run Myns Rls5 and its flawless...

I was only on Myn for a day, but I didn't have any problems with it. I set up my friends on it though and he's been using it for the past few weeks with no speed or lag issues.
I have had the problems you describe on a few different ROMs if I'm using a kernel that doesn't play well with the phone/ROM. I would play with different kernels until you get a setup that works.
Hope that helps.

If your using Set CPU make sure is not throttled way down because this will lag and freeze your phone up. Kernel is probably making things worse as well.

I'll confirm this. I got rid of set cpu all together. battery life is just fine. get to about 10-15% by the time i charge at night.

I just want to say that compared to the Epic the EVO screen is crap. You are going to have to deal with that. It will never be as good of a picture. As for battery life this is a known issue. Battery life on the Evo is terrible. There are certain tweaks and settings that will work to where you can get the whole day out of your phone. Just try different kernels, settings and what not until you figure out what works for your phone. Believe it or not all Evo's are a little different and what works for one may not work for yours. May I also suggest purchasing an extended battery. You can find cheap ones on ebay for around $10. These will give you better battery life. Enjoy the Evo bro and don't worry you will find out what works best for your phone. Just come here and read everyday and try new things and sooner or later you will be rocking the Evo just the way you want it.

Huh? What do you mean "which one is better"? You only listed one app...
And if you are wondering the difference between any two apps, just try them both out.... The one you dont like you can uninstall

Check out the benchmarks that Lokifish posted up here:
http://members.cox.net/lokifish/Benchmarks.html
From the data, FullHDMI gets better scores on Sense roms, and HDMwIn gets better scores in AOSP roms with V sync off. With v sync on (not sure what that is, as I've never used it), FullHDMI gets better scores.
I agree with sitlet, though. Try them both and see what you like better. Some people claim one works better but in the end, go with what works best for you.

Thank guys. Shall thank you both,properly when I get to the comp.

VSync is Vertical Sync, It limits visible frames to the refresh rate of your display device. Ie.. You have a 59mhz refresh rate on your screen, Vsync would cap your FPS at 59. Any frames Over 59 are kinda lost, what it does is takes the 59 best frames to generate the Image, So while someone can brag dude i get 120 FPS, my 60FPS with VSync on will look FAR crisper than his 120.

Having about 100hrs of benching and testing on both apps, FullHDMI has a better UI for everyday use. Most average users have no issues getting it to work the way the want the first time. HDMwIn is a fine app in it's own right but I still have yet to find a non-geek that can get it to work the way they want on their first try. If I'm a little tired I'll even forget HDMwIn's idiosyncrasies.
In regards to rugedraw's comment about vsync, vsync on forces both displays into a sync lock which gives smoother output and 100% reproduction of the Evo's screen but at the cost of performance. Vsync off allows for faster performance but at the cost of dropped frames. Having this option is nice however the UI issues and HDMwIn's idiosyncrasies make it a no go for daily use.
To help avoid the appearance of favoritism let it be know that even with all the testing I've done on FullHDMI, I am still a paying customer and have refused the testers refund offered by orrebamas.

does FullHDMI have sound on aosp yet? i just saw HDMwIn just got it.

With AOSP, the sound will only come out of the headphone port, not the hdmi port. But at least its something.

Neither have HDMI sound at this point. It's supposed to be in today's nightly (#31). When it's released I'll check both and report back.

I have only tried HDMwIn so far, and While it worked fine when it worked. I had to keep fiddling with it to keep it working. I am using it on a Sense rom. When I get another chance to try it I am going to purchase the FullHDMI app and give it a try.
The problem I had is that the app would randomly stop mirroring. When that happened I would have to switch resolutions a few times and turn it off then back on to get it working again.

With a couple days test.for me FULLHDMI works better...

[SOLVED][Q] music app "lags" on AOSP/MIUI ROMs

solution: increasing buffer size removes the lag, i even increased the buffer's priority just in case...
my music app is kinda lagging... it just hangs and repeats itself for 2-3 seconds then continues fine...
tried:
music app
google music
player pro
musixmatch
all of them do that
ILWT/andromadus/MIUI GB... And some other AOSP ROMs have that...
The thing that's weird is that the music runs fine on sense ROMs, and sense ROM just does fine with music... But i need AOSP, and i can't live without music...
So, any solutions?

maybe it is the rom... new roms are coming soon.... hope it will be fixed

Can you specify this specific cause?
Let's talk about ILWT...
What i did:
Wiped, flashed, resotred my apps, music: laging
Superwiped, flashed, didn't restore any app, music: still laging
Superwiped, flashed, wiped sdcard, put only one song in it, music: STILL LAGING!
The only possible difference is that you may have a G2, while i have a DZ... But that's so not the cause...

i doubt having a g2 or dz would matter. i have a g2 hboot and im running elitemod with little tweeks clocked aroun 1.1ghz, i use google play music to stream and have around a gb of music on a class 6 sdcard. i rearly if ever get a lag in music from sdcard or streaming. i also stream public radio and music from live 365 without any lag. i keep my phone light, apps i rarely use are on ext partition or not on my phone at all, i dont use a task killer but use watchdog to monitor any app that is consuming to much cpu and ususally i take those off my phone or restricted them
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium

I have a DZ. But i dont think its hardware related, because I had no issues with stock rom, so this must be a software bug. And I too have no problems when streaming music from internet, its when listening to music from sd card that is laggy. I really have no idea whats causing it, I guess it might be some app like dsp manager..
Anyway, Im new to this whole rom thing and maybe my wrong ideas will give someone the right idea
Sent from my DZ

MIUI doesn't have dsp manager.... Or any equalizer, and it also lags... Streaming is fine, sense roms are fine... But playing music on the phone's speaker/earplugs and on AOSP lags...
Any help?

I've never had any lag with the music player except for Sense 3.* ROMs where the scrolling was slow and unresponsive. In CM7, the music player is super fast and responsive, the same applies to virtuous g-lite and g2 slim. Music playback was also fast and smooth in MIUI when i used it a while ago. I haven't tried ILWT recently, but i doubt it has something to do with the ROM.
If i were you, i'd do a backup of my sd card, format it, and then put everything back on and see if the lag was still there. If the lag was still there, then i'd try a different sd card. Both the stock and very plain looking music app and google music were always fast on AOSP ROMs for me, so there is something that you haven't considered/done yet on your end.

I don't quite know how to explain it either but you can at least try and fix it rather than speculating about the whole smooth Sense vs laggy AOSP music playback. Also have you tried the latest CM7.2 RC? Music playback was fast on that. Make a backup and just try things out and see what works. We're not devs and we probably won't find a dev who can explain this for us, so you may as well just try.

@Riro, what'd you do to solve the lag issue? Also i've seen your thread but i didn't see any parts of it that were relevant to your issues that you've been having with music playback.
So you solved the issue for all AOSP/CM ROMs then? Please share the good info with all the friendly people here on xda .

Music distorting on ICS?

I experience music distorting when I hold down my home button key (to get to recent apps) or sometimes taping different places on the phone . It doesn't happen with the stock music player(only happens with apps like Player Pro, Power Amp, N7 player, Music Mod, Datpiff) and I know it's not my phone or a bad download.. Because all other audio on my phone is fine (YouTube, phone calls, stock player, alarm sounds etc).. Kinda bothering me especially since I shelled out money for some of these music player programs which are now useless (got them while I was on Gingerbread and never had that "distorting problem)
*Set up is in my signature of what I'm currently running*

When your running your music app try and see if you get any CPU spikes. Sounds like your ram could be running low . Since the real source code for Ics is coming soon that could fix it. have you tried rebooting your phone? I know your running blu Kubans ROM. Go to the updater and try another kernel. These are just thoughts so my two cents may not help any.

Also did you notice these issues before any of RUs updates? if not try to revert back to one of the other updates or even ask him on his thread

What app would you recommend to monitor cpu spikes. And if my ram is running low how could I fix that?
I've tried different kernels (agats numerous ones). And no avail.. Also tried rebooting.. But it had happened on all the updates, tried asking on the thread but I'm the only individual with the issue

I just use a stock player im not picky. I went back to GB roms so I use the ROM manager to see how much ram is being used. For the CPU I'm sure the market has some apps for CPU usage. Have you tried clearing the cache for the music apps you own? are they up to date? They may not be compatible with ics roms yet.
