[Q] Movies app not generating thumbnail - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The HD videos in my arc are directly downloaded from youtube, meaning it had a profile of [email protected]
The thumbnails in Gallery are generated when I was still on rom X-Gamer+GB lupusv2
I switched to UHD+Lupusv16, movie thumbnails wont generate in both Album and Movies app, neither in Gallery2
Tried rush kernel, not working.
My workaround is to change video profile to Baseline for thumbnails to generate, but it doesnt copy the original stream size(e.g. 95% but output is 90)
Some users here might want to use Movies app but thumbnails doesnt work, try using a media encoder and change profile to baseline VBR 2-pass.
Is thumbnail generation a kernel or a rom problem?
Other workarounds other than changing roms?
TIA

Movie playback problem

I just purchased my first WP7 phone and I downloaded a movie from the Zune Store and applyed it to my phone. The quality is VERY bad, subtitles are almost unable to be read. Did i do something wrong? How do I get a nice clear video play back on the device? the file is 1.1 GB so it can't be file compression.
I myself have only downloaded music videos but what I have noticed is zune actually gives you 2 different files. One file has a resolution of 640x480 and the other has a lower resolution. When I sync the video using zune it syncs the lower quality video.

[Q] Photo album through DLNA

Dear Devs (and other who can help),
usually I can see photos of my Desire HD through DLNA on my Tv set (only photos without transitions effect and music) but I can't find the way to see Album (sequence of slide show with music) through DLNA.
Is there already this possibility (that I don't know how to) or do you know it will be possible to play the sequences as on my smartphone options (transition effects and music) through DLNA?
Thanks

[Q] what app can trim/edit video .MOV from Canon DSLR eos600 (t3i)

HI,
I am hoping to setup the N7100 as a portable video production device (for holidays etc)... with the array of great video edit apps for android i see no point using a laptop/pc anymore to create basic home videos etc.
I am recording video on my DSLR Canon Eos600 then using an USB SD card reader attached to note 2 (n7100 - android 4.1.2 omega v16 - perseus) to transfer the files onto the phones extSdCard.
the video files captured by DSLR are: 1920x1080 25fps MOV files using variable bitrate MPEG-4 AVC / H.264 compression
I have found a player that plays them perfectly. vplayer.
But now i need to make basic edits, such as trim.
Is there a program that can do this without the need to convert the video into different format???
NOTE; i have tried these apps:> Vidtrim, androvid, movie editor (samsung) ..... they either don't recognize this video format. Or Vidtrim just crashes when trying to open file.
if i convert video using this video converting app it will work. but it takes some time to convert files whilst maintaining the high quality and uses lots of battery etc.
I am trying to minimize the steps involved to optimize the work flow, can someone who does this themselves give me some tips on what apps i can use.
Kind regards

N7 Crash on Lenovo Tablet (B6000-F) - fixed with restart (but important info)
Crash: on first open, and subsequent opens, app crashes. Have sent report via app (not Google). Team should have it.
Restarted and the app works.
------
Detials:
App: 2.4.2
Device:
Android 4.4.2 (3.4.67) stock.
Lenovo "Yoga 8" Tablet: B6000-F
---
App crashes on "open". First time: Crashes after a few seconds on black screen. Error: Application Crashed! com.nmobile.nplayer.
Report showed it crashed whilst scanning for music.
Thoughts: I assumed ti may have something to do with the insanely long filenames that n7 make, as I deleted my library and then copied it from my phone (which has n7 and works fine) and recieved errors saying several of the file names are too long.
EG:

This may still have something to do with it as i deleted all of my album art.

Problem is from file name definitely. Yes we saw the error log. In fact the error was from Android itself and not from the app by itself. We will look to solve the issue. Thanks for the prompt feedback!
More crashing / information.

Hey Mate,
It seemed to work for a while (Since my last post) but as of this morning it has started crashing again. I've sent 4 reports -
1. Report after first crsah
2. Report after cache/data wipe & restart
3. Report after uninstall/reinstall
4. Report after uninstall/full data wipe (delete full 7n folder - 152MB)
After report no.4 I restarted again and rescanned my collection and it works fine. All album art is showing. I have managed to replicate the crash, but I still have on idea what has caused it, as I can't isolate it. When I tried I wasn't able to make ti crash a third time.
Sequence of events:
I was using n7 briefly before closing it. I then plugged the tablet it in to USB (charger only), then switched my internet on, installed iDisplay, switched my USB mode over to media & debugging . I tested iDisplay and didn't like it so I closed it, then turned on the Dolby Digital app and switched it's preset from Movie to Music. I then opened up n7 and it crashed.
I followed the sequence to the point where I installed iDisplay & switches USB/Wifi and then it crashed (so pretty sure not the Dolby App) but playaing with the wifi and USB and iDisplay individually makes no difference.
Note - this is the unlocked/paid version.
The applications you are using are conflicting with the application unfortunately

Html5 video tag doesn't work in Android with local video files

Hi everyone.
I am not able to reproduce local video files, using video tag of Html5 in an Android application, even developing an Android cross walk application, the video Html5 tag only works fine with videos located in a http server, with local files includes in the application only works in full screen mode, otherwise only the audio is played, the video is showed as a black screen.
I think the issue could be related to the Web browser for Android, I tested the application in the latest version of the chrome Mobile browser and the behaviour is exactly the same.
Anyone know how to solve this issue?
By the way, the Android version where I am trying is 4.1
Thanks a lot in advance.
Regards
David
the issue is not with browser.its with the video. i too had the same issue when playing mp4 videos locally in webview. i tried different versions/ encoders when converting video and it worked without any code changes. just try converting the mp4 to different encoder or better try with a 3gp format. it will work
Thanks si much, I did some tests just related to you mean, but it doesn't work for me, may be if you could me the encoder, format, bitrate, etc. I will able to solve as you did.
Do you remember the combination you used.
Thanks a lot
Regards
David
I was able to execute correctly the app in other device, with mp4 and with webM video format, but in the initial device doesn't work fine, there, the video only works in full screen mode or if the video is located in Internet, if the video is located locally it only is reproduced if I tap the full screen icon of the Html5 video tag controls.
For this reason, I am not sure that the problem is related to the video, but with the Web browser, or may be with the device, the app works fine in other device with Android 4.2 and Android 4.4.
Any idea about how to try to solve for Android 4.1?
Thanks a lot in advance.
Regards
David
The problem is that the local files have "file://" protocol so they can't be played by just using the video tag, you need to use a video cordova plugin like:
https://github.com/moust/cordova-plugin-videoplayer
https://github.com/nchutchind/Streaming-Media-Cordova-Plugin
Hope I helped
Suggestion
I would suggest checking that the local file exists.
Perhaps a popup-box or console log that displays the url, and manually navigate to the URL.
This is almost always the issue for me -- other than file corruption it's self.
