Hi: I am recently facing a frustrating error..About a couple days ago, I flashed Perception 10.1 Build, Kernel: 2.6.32.9 Firebird #32. When I tried to play a 720p mkv video today on stock galaxy player, I got "sorry this video cannot be played". When I tried to play it with hardware decoding in rock player, it would just crash and not let me view the video. I then got a small mp4 video which I tried to play in stock player as well and got the same error. What should I do?
Can you play this video on the stock Captivate setup? Because if you can it might be firmware thing with customs available.
Hmm you might be right I'll try flashing to perhaps the Rogers 2.2 rom and see how it goes..

Hey,
i'm running Prime 1.7 and clemsyn 3.2V1 Kernel. I tried a few 1080p mp4 videos but not one is running with stock player, dice player...
I used jwplayer flash player which is able of playing the files but it's unwatchable.
So, can someone confirm that he can or can't run 1080p with stock 3.2, pls?
Try the player called : mVideoplayer it works for me
It's not working for me. Hm...
I have a Galaxy S 4g, which plays 720p mkvs perfectly fine. No stuttering or audio issues etc. It also seems to play just about any video format I've come across in my file library without issues. This is using the stock "Video Player" app.
EDIT: I guess I'll answer my own question, it appears to play 720p mkvs just fine. I went out and got one of these soon after posting, I happen to be by a best buy and figured what the hell. So far so good.
So what is high bigmem and bigmem? I know that it gets me more usable ram with a sacrifice of something. For example my 720p mkv video playback was broken. Was it becasuse of the rom or the kernel? I came from stock rom. On the stock rom I could watch "How I met your mother" 720p mkv but now I can. So the question is. How can I get the HW accelerated 720p mkv video playback back without losing vodoo sound and others? I tried non high bigmem versions but just didn't work. Any help would be much apriciated!
Edit:
Here's the answers in case anybody come across to this problem in the future. It was kernel related. To be exact it's bigmem I think. I've installed the stock ROM (with stock kernel ofcourse) and the video just started using the hw decoder. smooth 720p mkv. No lag at all. With subtitles. After that I installed a kernel with bigmem ( marmite 5.1 stock edition) and the video playback no longer worked. Now I'm using stock ROM with Simple kernel. Damn! I didn't know the stock ROM is faster than the AOKP one.

thanks for the tip but it didn't work for me. I can hear the sound but no video. After a few seconds the player freezes. Nowhere near compared to the stock. Anybody please help. I don't know whether it's the rom or the kernel. I'm using rasbeanjelly with marmite v5.

try air kernel or matrix
or it maybe the case of just re-flashing the ROM

I'll try matrix kernel! I've used air kernel for about 2-3 (when new version came out I upgraded immediately) but I could not watch 720p mkv either. I really miss 720p mkv playback feature but I just don't wanna go back to stock. So all my hope is in matrix kernel

yes it's really cool! Latest rasbean jelly is 4.1.2. I would flash the stock rom if it had volume rocker music controls. it's the only thing which is holding me back.
On my Vibrant which is the same hardware, I use MX Player, generally h/w acceleration for video and set audio to software decoding. Play most MKV with no problem. The older version 1.6 also have a fast software mode that make it capable of playing almost any videos smoothly, but they took it away with the new version.
The bitrate of the video and your internal storage read speed do determine the playback smoothness.

I'm using mx player too but it only plays that in software decoding mode. When I choose hw decoding mode it says that it cannot play it in hw decoding mode. Hw+ decoding mode won't work either. Tomorrow I'll flash back the stock rom with different kernel. See if it works.
Ps: Matrix kernel didn't work either. No hw playback.
It means the player do not have codec to decode that video, maybe you should reencode it to h.264 in mp4 container.
Also I recommend keeping a copy of the MX Player 1.6, it can even manage most hd video in software fast decoding. Sure it won't be highest quality, but the Nexus screen isn't exactly HD.

Playerpro music player has volume rocker controls.
If I recall correctly while the vibrant has basically the same hw it also has different hw. Including decoders. Like with the missing encoder for 720p video recording with the camera for example.
Can't remember exactly but I think it was Samsung with the galaxy s line that was able to play back mostly anything because they included encoders and all the licensing that goes along with it. Then again maybe not. I'm sure others know more or you can just investigate it yourself

I'll try different combinations as soon as i got home. I know it works. It used to work tho.
Edit: I've edited the first post. Got my answers now. Thanks for the help guys!
After installing JB on Rogers Infuse 4G all mp4, avi video is unplayable, too choppy and stuttering. Works perfect on GB roms. Was looking around and could not find a fix for it (something to do with memory usage? as per Galaxy S forum). Any ideas?
SOLVED..
after reflashing a few other roms -> one has to remove external sd during flash, this seems to fix playback (flash and mx player etc.) problems. Thanx all for help.

Any Custom Rom <> stock GB have choppy video is a bug sorry, try another ROM.
Just a swag - have you tried putting the video on your internal memory instead of external sd?
I usually play streaming video (eg. TV series online). Any custom GB rom I tried has perfect picture, any ICS or JB rom is unwatchable. Could somebody suggest a JB rom that has verified good video playback on Infuse?
I have never had a problem watching videos on any GB/ICS/JB ROM...video playback has always been flawless whether it was a YouTube video or streaming from another site...or a downloaded HD movie...they've all played flawlessly....now videos I record while on JB/ICS that's I different story...but everyone knows about that...
If you don't mind...can you link me to a video you find unplayable on jb? I'm curious as to see if my infuse will play it...

Any video on watchseries.eu will be impossible to watch. Which jb rom do you use?

Ok so hopefully clears this up. For movies that you download, you can get mx player from the app store, that thing plays EVERYTHING. and flawlessly too. so there get that. If u want to watchseries.eu or online streaming sites, u need flash player, so download this guy http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1705503 and get version 3.0.3 This version contain flash player, which u'll need to watch stuff like that and yourtvseri.es etc.
For recording, just use 480p, cause 720p is broken on jb. good luck dude.
just got this a few days running stock JB 4.1.1 and yesterday these problem came up
video on youtube was fine at first then after playing next youtube video it wont play the video and no sound, after that i checked the stock video player and dice player it wont play any of my videos including the samsung demo videos also. i had to restart the tablet and it can play again.
then today it happened again this time while playing a video on dice player, after selecting another movie it says cannot play video, and i tried every video including samsung demo vid and wont play also... and i had to restart the device again which is an inconvenience.
so far this problem happens at leasat once a day since it first happened yesterday...
i dont if any of u guys had this similar problem
Try to wipe data, cache partition, dalvik cache with custom cwm and then reflash your ROM.
