Video playback? - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm transitioning into our miui ics build and it's amazing. I'm having issues with videos from ESPN and even mlb at bat. The gb build worked, but can't seem to get videos to come through.
Is there anything that I can dl or tweak to get the miui ics build to support video playback?
Thanks

Which MIUI ICS are you on, Lithium's or Swipers??
Try MX Player

I'm having that issue on Lith's... Any ideas HipKat? Thanks in advance bro

Like I said, MX Player has been shown to playback video with no probs on Swipers ROMS. Since Lith has HWA, I would assume it will work on his, too

Hey hk. I've tried both and still the same. Currently on swipes and video will try to start and hen goes to error prompt. Vevo works tho. Maybe we'll see a change in Fri/sats build?
Thanks!

My videos always play just fine when I record in portrait or landscape. I have not run into a ROM that has given me those kind of issues.
damn tried reformting sd card. but still doesnt work.
maybe its the video player? because the video plays on your phone right?
My wife had this problem cm7, it was really weird, the only way I could get it to play was to download rock player and I had to navigate to the directory and open the file with something like file expert and then select rock player.
But this was on the phone not on a computer.

[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.

Defy audio/video delay

Hi, I'm a proud owner of a brand new mb525 with a 2.1.1 stock ROM installed on it.
I recently tried playing a movie on it and found out that whenever I fastforward or backforward it, the video becomes unsynchronized with the audio. I've tried multiple players but all of them gave me the same result.
Has anyone else been having this problem? How do I fix it?
Sent from my MB525 using XDA Premium App
I'm having the same problem after installing CM7
Can you upload example, where video unsynchronized with the audio?

Not anywhere specific, I just fast forward once and then I see the lips moving and the sound comes about 7-10 seconds later

Official 2.2 here and I have the same issue with pretty much any Xvid I try (torrented tv rips mostly). Using soft decoding in MoboPlayer solves the problem for me.
i had it with default 2.1 on my defy... also happened after a pause does anyone knows if is there any player that solves this?

modified youtube hd working on cm9

here is a thread with modified youtube w/hd that i can confirm works on stock cm9 a5. he also has version for froyo/gb but i have not tested those personaly but should work. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1529715 i am running the wifi 3g black theme and works perfect. hd looks amazing. make sure download is apk and not zip. i had to download to computer then transfer to phone to get proper file. be sure to thank op of original thread for awesome work.
Seems to work for me just fine on CM9 A5. Only issue now is that Sprint's data connection, at least in my area, is horrid.
i have to use roam control anytime i watch videos.

Why is the Epic not capable with the standard version?

"The catch is that YouTube HD res won't work on every Android 2.2 or 2.3 phone or tablet, as we're told it is set dynamically based on screen size and resolution." Richard Lawler engadget
Aha
I can confirm the Modified Youtube APK WIFI+3G working on Stock Rooted EL30 for the Epic 4G. Instead of the usual High Quality, the videos are viewed in HD.
It's a tough call, as the resolution is the exact same size as when it was HQ. But I *think* I can notice the higher sampling. Nonetheless, I rather have this then not ever have the option.
Great!
I like this! My 3G speeds suck but this YouTube doesn't have the weird video artifacts in CM9 like the other one did.
Works like a charm on mine with cleangb, thanks!

[APP] VLC for android

here is the link to the nightlies..
download from neon.... it installs nicely on our phone..
http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/
just posting out the link since it doesnt show up in playstore
edit: streaming issues for dome s2 users.. vlan team asked to download neon version. neon version is present in the same link..
what does this app do?
I believe its a video player
Thanks for the find, OP! The tegra 2 version works for me too.
I tried compiling VLC from source a while back but it never worked for me. For those who don't know, VLC is an open source media player; I first became a fan for my various Debian systems because it included the libraries for playing most DVDs.

this app is famous for playing any kind of video and audio file. its a great player allowing you to have the best control over the aspect ratios,subtitles etc.
all of these are in the desktop version.. the link above is an attempt by them to bring all those features to android.. this is not even half of the features i told about. check out www.videolan.org

So far it works really well for me. I like the interface and the ease of changing the aspect ratio.

Will VLC stream media from a WHS to my phone? I have it mapped as a network drive on my home PC (windows 7). Anyone know how to set this up (or link to a guide)? I can't find anything straightforward on google searches. I'd like to be able to access home content anywhere. Thanks.
The way I stream from my home server is to use bubbleUPnP. Just open the app up and find your media server. Then when you select the movie, you have to pick an external player to actually play the movie. I have been using mx player, but VLC should work too.
Thanks man. I went with Plex. It's a paid app but super easy to use and seems to work great. I can access my server files as well with no problem and it works on mobile network as well as wifi.
