[Q] black screen bbc iplayer - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a HTC desire hd with Cyanogen mod 7.1.0 rc1...
since updating the iplayer app I haven't been able to see the videos, but the sound is there I tried it with flash-player 10 & now the latest.. still the same, I
can watch you-tube, and videos on my device, I tried it with video codec for Armv7 still black screen... has anyone a suggestion on how to get the dam thing to work.. please

did you try reinstalling iplayer again, i´ve found that works sometimes. i use iplayer over a vpn from spain and it requires force stopping the app to get it to work quite often and sometimes even that doesnt work so i´ve got the apk on my sd card so i can reinstall whenever clearing the app cache or fc the app doesnt work. hope this helps
edit i´m on virtuous unity 2.39 but i had the same issues on stock gingerbread so i dont think my issue was a rom thing

I tryed reinstalling, tryied older versions, the same every time, It worked when it was on stock 2.2 froyo, so it seem to be a codec issue with cyanogenmod, but have not seen any related comment. thanks for the reply.

How about the iplayer webpage online, is that working?

Im having the same issue but I'm using a HTC incredible s. All other video works so it must be a problem with cyanogenmod.

I tried using cm7 and had the same problem.Fixed it using an older version of flash. Don't know why but the newest flash doesn't work with cm7.

I fixed iplayer in the browser by doing this

however it went back when i rebooted.

Uninstall then reboot, then reinstall and reboot then it should work fine.
It did for me.

I think it's the Facebook App honestly. Try using either Dolphin HD browser set to Desktop mode, or the stock browser in desktop mode and use Facebook from there.
Thanks worked for me

Thanks in Advance...
Installed Vplayer and all videos work now

Video problems.

Well it seems I've had a persistent problem with my rooted G2. I used the visionary method and everything seems good. But recently anything video related freezes. Ill try to play a youtube video (Strong Wifi connection) and it'll freeze. Like ill still hear the audio but not the video it just stays black or on one image. & everytime I try to watch videos I have stored in my sd card the video player crashes or shows nothing.
Anyone had the same issue? I'm pretty sure its not a hardware problem because ill play PSX or angry birds and it runs perfectly fine. Anyone have a fix for this?

[Q] Problem with flash videos in browser

Hi
Whenever i try playing a flash video in the browser (or in skyfire), after i press the play button, the progress bar is moving, i get the audio, but there's no video - the video area remains black.
I'm experiencing this for about 2 months now, in which i switched ROMs (iceandfire, cyanogen), updated the flash player several times, updated skyfire several times (it happens both in skyfire and stock browser), cleared cache of those 3 apps, cleared data, tried to uninstall and reinstall...
nothing helps...
Any ideas?
Thanks
Edit: found a similar thread at cyanogonmod forums:
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/..._hl__+black++video__fromsearch__1#entry194047
I'll keep an eye on it over there. I''ld delete this post if I knew how...
I also had this problem, then I downloaded the 10.2.idontknow and it worked again!
i am using the cm 7.0.3 and adobe flashplayer 10.3. seems no problem. i did not do any extra setting. so give it a try.
I have a similar issue. Mine will play fine in the browser, but when I open the video in Youtube after starting a video in the browser, it will start to play, but only audio plays - no video. I am currently using a stock, non-rooted G2. I didn't have this
problem with my last G2 running CM7 though...

I have the same issue. However my YouTube app works fine. An interesting point is videos that automatically open in full screen from the browser work. I'm on cm7.0.3 with the latest flash.
I used to be able to resolve the issue with an older version of flash but now when I do that YouTube gripes that I must update flash player.

Wow I must be lucky, because I've never experience this issue. And I watch youtube dailymotion on the browser and never had this issue

I've had the black screen of death too. Only audio on random embedded videos. Like worldstarhiphop.com for instance. I'll try a fresh rom install and see if that works if no fixed is found in this thread. It's the only thing hindering CM7 based roms.

from the cyanogenmod forums (the link i posted in my first post):
@dewd write:
"Yes. I did 2 things to make it work.
1. I updated to the latest version of Flash in the market (10.3.185.22).
2. I used ROM Manager to "Fix Permissions" (and rebooted).
After these steps I was able to watch Flash movies.
This did not fix Netflix, It plays movies with sound, but no picture. "
it worked for me, took a couple of minutes to fix permissions but then i was able to see flash videos again.
i checked it only in 1 website though...
I have same problem...
Apparently the fix permissions method didn't work...
So I tried what @Tommebaas recommended, and downloaded an old 10.2 version of Adobe Flash Player.
It worked! thanks @Tommebaas
Here's a link to the version that did the trick for me:

10.3 is better and runs flash that 10.2 can't, so that's not really a fix if I downgrade.

What does 10.3 run, that 10.2 can't? I don't view a whole bunch of sites with Flash. But for what I have viewed, I've never had an issue as far back as 10.1. It seems like a lot of the recent updates have had more to do with tablets (and very minor performance enhancements) than anything else.
I moved Flash to SD and it works for me now.

the 10.2 install fixed it for me, idk what is suppose to be special about 10.3 but um if it doesnt work its not better than 10.2 so yeah.

[Q] cant record or play video after flashing android revolution hd 5.1.12 for telus.

After flashing Android revolution 5.1.12 I can't record or play videos. Camcorder opens but as soon as I press record it shuts down and returns me to the home page. Camera works fine for still pictures. Any help is appreciated.
Try downloading a camcorder app from market. See if that works. Could also try to fix permissions in ROM manager.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
I tried the fix permissions in Rom manager but no luck. Is like to get the stock camcorder working but I guess if there's no solution ill look into a camcorder app. Thanks
The reason I said to download one was to check its a software fault.
If an app from the market works then at least we know the hardware is working. Let me know what happens.

Do a full wipe before flashing, if it persists after flashing again, try a new ROM.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
Tried downloading a camcorder app, said it couldnt access camera hardware. reflashed current rom, still didnt work, restored to backup. if it is a hardware issue what should i do?
Thanks
is there any roms that work with telus desire hd like this one?
Flashed Android Revolution 5.2.3. Everything works fine now.
Great, glad to hear it

[Q] YouTube Error

Hi all, I have been using sense ROMs for a while now and thought I'd switch to an AOSP ROM. I have tried oxygen, cm7, miui, gingervillain but I cannot use YouTube while connected to the mobile network. YouTube just displays an cannot connect to server error when loading a video.
Any ideas?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA
Not sure if you've tried this or whatever, but I used to have problems getting Youtube videos to load, I would get the same error.
Clicking on the HQ button (and then either leaving in HQ or pressing again to revert to SQ) allowed the video to load.
Thanks, that works. Can't believe I didn't try doing that.
