I just want to make sure netflix works for non rooted gingerbread owners before I try unrooting. I was using haus's odexed gb stock rooted rom which is awesome but I noticed no movie file on the phone and netflix wasn't working, so I checked the lib files and a bunch were missing. When I restored my 2.2 version, netflix and movies worked. All the lib files needed for streaming netflix were there so I want to see if gb non stock has those lib files or did gb take them out.

Netflix does not work with any 2.3 setup. It's the app, not the ROM you have.
Ah thanks.

Well that's not completely true there bud, it works on CM7 which is 2.3.3 and 2.3.4 depending on which one you have installed (stable or nightly).........Netflix just doesn't work on any 2.3 SENSE rom for the time being. I read yesterday that Netflix updated their app to work on 2.3 for the Droid X so I'm guessing that it will only take about a week or so until they start rolling out Netflix for the recent 2.3 from Sprint.................Just my two cents in all of this, don't shoot me..hahaha

this is true i am running deck's ginger evo rom with a savage zen kernel and netflix is running flawlessly.
See my problem wasnt just netflix though, no video file would work, avi, mp4, mkv.. no format would work but it could have just been rockplayer, although before I flashed the rooted odex by haus, rockplayer was working fine no matter what format I had. I didnt try other video programs though.

I'm using CM7 Nightly 100 and I've downloaded Rock Player and I play AVI, FLV and WAV format movies and clips with no problem what so ever!
If I were you, I would give other roms a shot before going back to the crappy stock world........BUT that's just me.

Or try different kernels instead..
Looks like HTC will release an OTA update that will fix the netflix issue on June 20.

I'm sick of waiting for them to fix these issues... All my music collection on my phone is encoded into aac+ (he-aac v2) with parametric stereo. Now it's useless because the decoder has a bug since the froyo upgrade it sounds like crap!
Youtube is also crap since v2.2 update. It's impossible to watch a youtube clip because it crashes almost instantly or after a minute or so. Incredibly annoying.
I think these 2 features are VERY important to fix asap because I can't recommend anybody upgrading to 2.2 or even buying a Desire before we know it gets fixed!!!
Sad...
Don't know about the music thing. However Youtube works perfectly for me on froyo 2.2. Though I ma running a custom ROM

YouTube works fine for me as well . Try factory reset and don't restore backup . In general froyo does feel sluggish to me as well
youtube and music works for me
i use mp4 audio too (AAC)
Youtube is working perfectly for me and im on stock FroYo. Dont know about "aac" music playback though..

is there anyway to get my videos to play smooth again? everything was great before froyo came along...both avi (rockplayer) and mp4 videos (stock player) were very smooth...then froyo came along and everything is choppy. I have tried multiple roms/kernels...does anyone have a fix???
thanks!
Kill some background tasks, and OC as needed. I have yet to have any issues playing AVIs and even RM videos on Rockplayer. Are you trying to watch an HD video or anything like that?

thanks...i will try that. ...my videos were not hi-def, just dvd quality converted with handbrake to .m4v ...at 65% quality (now the sizes are b/w 800mb and 1.2gb per movie)...they used to play great and look great. Now, they only look great, play choppy. ...really jerky...as my first attempts at hi-def were before froyo came out. thanks for the help!
I have the same problem. It was fine on a non rooted eclair and i did the ota update to froyo the video was choppy. I rooted the ota 2.2 and went back to 2.1 and it was all good, then i tried the 2.2 roms and the choppiness is back. Froyo has its bugs like google navigation working with pandora, and pandora sounding like crap.
**EDIT** sorry, my cpu froze...double post.
MODS PLEASE REMOVE
I was having choppy video even with 2.1 (stock).
After I changed the SD card to class 6 I videos play smooth. This is with 2.1/2.2 both stock and with CM6.

To all gingerbread users, you might have noticed that 2.3.3 roms do not play some video files. Someone informed me that this is because of the froyo libraries missing in gingerbread.
I currently have 10 videos downloaded from tubemate and only one works. Tried rockplayer, act1, movies etc....
I have tested oh so many roms and all have the same result. Currently, Oxygen 2.0, Redux 1.0.0, GingerVillain 1.3 and CM 7 nightly do not those video files.
Amethyst does - probably because it is outdated.
Anyone knows more on this matter?
Hiya I was on Defrost for a long time and for about the last month been on GingerVillain. Tbh Ive not had any problems playing any vid files
What files are they???
http://db.tt/aXqGgVD
There ya go.. a test .flv
Just did another test. Amethyst rc8 seems to play the above file as well as others, the new test build GR40I does not
Are we "doomed" to not play so many video files from now on?
Does that have anything to do with google and webm v8 codec?
So what happened from any of the custom stock ROMs including the rooted stock ROM to this ROM?
I'm asking because when I first got this phone I didn't root or ROM it and it had hardware decoding for my full length mkv movies. And they played just fine in the native video player. No shipping or slide show and no out of sync audio. When I first rooted and keep a rooted stock ROM on it. Everything was still fine. I tired fre3 ROM and it was fine. Jellybomb was also fine. But they didn't have working tethering always crashed. So I moved to this ROM. And now I no longer have working hardware decoding for mkv.
Why is that? What is the difference between this custom ROM than a rooted stock ROM? Is there a way to add it back in so that it can be played natively?
Thanks in advance

Liquid smooth is AOSP and all the other roms you mentioned are Touchwiz (based off of stock).
Yes I understand that. However that really has no bearing on what I'm asking. I guess what I'm asking, if I can make it clearer. Is why was mkv removed from the native video player. The native play that comes with android not TW not SENSE but android. It has direct access to h/w decoding for all formats it supports.
http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/media-formats.html
This way you don't need a third party player to play these formats. This way it can be played natively with the android player that comes with every version of android regardless of the OEM and their silly UI.
That's all I was asking. If a developer of Liquidsmooth could answer or let me know they're looking into it. That would be great.

If you want an answer from a developer, then you should ask in the developer thread for LiquidSmooth.
Does anyone use PowerAmp? I tried playing songs off of it on my new N7 and it keeps saying can't play files. I am able to open the files up with Google Music or the file explorer.

My poweramp is working fine over here on stock, cleanrom as well as cm10.2. Try another third party music player and see if that also fails, if it does then theres something else wrong thats not just poweramp related.
If its in any way related, in quickpic i was not able to use the hide function because the media storage was messing with it, try clearing data on media storage and see if it works.

Nope. Songs play fine on the new n7 with poweramp for me. Not sure why it isn't for you. I know there was just an update to deal with some 4.3 issue, but other than that I don't see why it shouldn't work. Are you on the stock rom or custom?
edit: nvm, I just saw your sig. Your on a custom rom...

My gf and I both got our N7 so I decided to try PowerAmp on hers as well. Same result as mine. I ended up using Rocket Player for the time being.
We are both on CleanROM 1.2. But I don't understand why it would cause PowerAmp to not be able to play any files and we can still play from any other media player like Rocket Player, Google Music, ES Media Player, etc..

idk...poweramp and all other players (including streaming apps) work for me on clean 1.3. If you're not running any audio mods, and tried to uninstall and reinstall, I'm not sure what the problem could be. Maybe try updating from 1.2 to 1.3? Backup apps and flash. What could it hurt to have the latest rom anyway...
mine did the same. there was an update in the play store to make it work right on 4.3 and it works great now

Yeah, that's what I was saying before. Poweramp had an update for 4.3. I probably didn't notice it because I just downloaded the latest which has the 4.3 update...oh well...

Ya that's what I thought too. We downloaded the revision 530 which supposedly has the 4.3 fixes, but still isn't playing.
EDIT - I updated to CleanROM 1.3 on my & gf's N7 and now PowerAmp is playing files normally. Not sure why CleanROM 1.2 broke the app.
