I've received my gTablet about 2 weeks ago and I *LOVE* it!
I rooted it, modded it (Cyanogen Mod beta 5 / Android 2.3.1), name it!
Everything went fine (ok, maybe not the first time, but I fixed everything).
I've got Flash 10.1, full Market, fixed the audio problem with "audiofix.apk" and EVERYTHING now works perfectly... except for one thing:
I an unable to playback any AVI (DivX) video, but I *was* able last week, before upgrading to Gingerbread (or at least, before applying one of the patches/updates/ROMs), with Twonky, among other things...
Today, I've installed arcMedia and another one (don't remember which, but I uninstalled it anyway) to no avail.
In fact, the SOUND in the video file starts for about half second (or less) and then the file closes itself (but not the player).
NO avi (DivX) video will play on my tablet and I don't know why. I've Googled a bit to no avail (aside from this site, not many sites talk about the gTablet).
I'm pretty new to all this modding thing, but should I (*can* I ?) install codecs? Should I start from scratch? (hopefully not)
Thank you for your help!
Try Vital player from the market.
Same problem occurs! Screen seems to flash once as if the video is about to start, then nothing! (And in Vital Player, I get the "All codecs are included" message box after it does that).
I think it's a problem with gingerbread, it's not quite there yet for the gtab.
Try not using the awful Bittrix build, it breaks a bunch of things when he tries to fix something else. Try beta 1 CM7, my videos work fine in RockPlayer.
Will do and will let you know.
Thank you very much!
Cleared cache (not data/factory reset), then installed CM7 Beta01 over Beta05and everything went fine, but the problem was NOT solved.
I think I might have to start all over again and ONLY install Beta01...?
Ok, I've cleared Data (Factory Reset) and installed VEGAn beta 5.1 instead.
I hate having a lot less icons on my home screen, but at least EVERYTHING works... Sound, Video, Market, Flash... A charm!
Keep up the good work, guys!
You can put icons on your home screen. Just hold down finger on icon and it will move.

ADW or ADW_EX will allow you to have up to a 10 x 10 icon arrangement on your home screens
Mine is current 8 x 8, and even with that many I find no real need for extra homescreens, I'm only using 3 screens now because I ran out of widgets to put up for now *lol*
@goog64 : I know how to move icons... ;-) I just didn't know how to increase the "grid" to accept MORE icons under VEGAn, I thought it was because of Froyo. My bad.
@ ALL : Over the past week, I have played a LOT with VEGAn and CyanogenMod and I simply *CANNOT* playback any video with CyanogenMod!
I just don't get it... I use the same players (Vital Player, arcMedia...), but they just won't play any video!
I'm switching back to VEGAn for the time being...
Thank you for your help, everybody!
Update : I've installed ROCK PLAYER LITE and it *does* play my videos!
How come arcMedia and Vital Player were unable? (I was told Vital Player had MOST if not ALL required codecs!!)

Last night I tried to play a video on my phone with Coreplayer (v1.5) and whilst it used to work perfectly and play videos REALLY well, it was now awful quality. Was as if the settings for video had reset to default so I tried changing them (smoothing and GDI or Directdraw output) but it keeps making the program crash when I try this, or immediately afterwards.
I've reinstalled Coreplayer (tried 1.3 and 1.5) and it just keeps crashing when I change the output settings, except for once when it let me change them but was still very jerky video, and then it crashed anyway a couple of seconds later. This is using video files that HAVE played fine in the past.
I've removed S2U2 again and rebooted as I had just installed it the day before, then reinstalled Coreplayer again and still get the same issues. It just seems incapbale of playing video properly now for some reason. I know the settings that work well for it as I did have it working perfectly before, but it just crashes now if I try changing them.
I can't think of anything else that I've added recently which may cause this. Not sure what else to check but there must be something I've changed on the phone that's caused this?
Videos work well if I play them by double tapping them in Total Commander, but silly as it sounds I don't know what player this is using to play them! It's not wmp anyway.
Looks like an HTC player maybe but I can't find an actual video player in winmo apart from WMP. There must be a place in the start menu somewhere for this player but I can't find it. It's not in the Multimedia folder in the start menu either so I'm confused!
Annoying because I'm halfway through a film this morning and after going back to home screen, I now don't know how to resume playback without restarting and trying to find the place I was at.
Any ideas? I've looked at other coreplayer related threads but they all seem to be along the lines of just the output settings being wrong and I got no results when I searched for the words coreplayer & crash.
When did 1.5 release?!?! Let me check....
BTW, what ROM are you on? Cooked or Official??
Oops! Sorry, I meant to write 1.3.2 and 1.3.5!!!
My bad.
I'm using the 1.61 official turkish rom.
You sure it is 1.5? Can't find a hint anywhere!
Duh.. ok, try the 1.3.6 yet?
Thought I was the only one to see this problem, though it did occur with previous HTC devices and Coreplayer for me. Occasionally the database file (Application Data\Coreplayer\library.db) seems to get corrupted (I think when Coreplayer is running, you attach the device to a PC in USB disk mode and say yes to a prompted database rebuild). If you delete the library.db file with File Explorer or an equivalent program. it should rebuild it OK. Quite annoyingly, this file doesn't get deleted when Coreplayer is uninstalled, so an uninstall/reinstall doesn't resolve this.

my market shows it but it fails to download everytime. if someone has an .apk available for manual install that would be awesome.
Here it is: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1611645/Adobe Flash Player 10.1 10.1.72.4.apk
I tried it. Pre-update, flash videos were a little choppy. Post-update, they're as smooth as silk. Well, the ones I tested were. I've heard of some people still getting choppy playback.
As for the above mentioned issue of flash lagging sites out, change the plugins option to 'on demand' in the browser settings. Then flash content will only load when you want it to load.
The new update fixed a lot of issues. I have re-enabled Flash now...
Ive been using its, some of lag has been finxed, its more fluid i find.
Still doesn't work in xScope. =(
hardware accelerated so it's smoother. long tap to full screen works good.
sites tested using nexus one froyo:
m.flash.com
nba.com
espn.com
justin.tv
channelsurfing.net
I wouldn't say it works good. It works, but I'm a long way from impressed. Long tap works 1/4 times, the other times you get some strange results. Either nothing happens, the video stops, loads another page etc. Playback is usually very choppy or laggy. channelsurfing.net was choppy and justin.tv barely played at all.
watched episodes of house on justin.tv on 3g and it's smooth on fullscreen mode.
could be there a reason I can't find flash in the market? It was there till the other day...

It's still not hardware accelerated but it is smoother. They fixed some memory leaks and did minor optimization.
The major change that I really liked was the fullscreen option on long tap. It makes interacting with flash much easier.

justin.tv plays great for me, very smooth!
I picked it up in the market a couple of days ago - fancast works perfectly, as do any sites that pepper me with Flash ads. Oh, and Disney's site works as well.
[ASIDE]
Is it just me or does Disney employ half of the world's Flash devs? ESPN, Disney, ABC sites are all brimming with the stuff. [/ASIDE]
is there anyone that can upload the apk, I still can't install it off the market even having reverted back to my stock install with no root/oc/uv enabled, fails at the install every time.
edit: nevermind, found it in general
Has anyone tested the new flash to see how it works on our gtabs? also does anyone posses the skills to download the new flash, do the hex edit hack and then repackage the apk so that us less technical folk can use it?
i believe this is what you're looking for flash 10.2 hulu fix
Flash 10.2
i have problem with that either, but i wait for solution

I think if it was possible to repackage it someone would have already done it. I have no exerience with hex editing and I was able to do it. Just use this hex editor http://www.chmaas.handshake.de/delphi/freeware/xvi32/xvi32.htm
Use root explorer to pull out the file libflashplayer.so and open it up with the hex editor and use the find to search for text string AND and change it to WIN. Then copy it back over to the original file location. If you need more help send me a pm.

This works just fine on my G-Tablet, running VEGAn-Tab Build, BETA 5.1.1. Thanks for posting.
In addition to ksc6000s post... find the "and" which comes before the flash version number. Then replace and with win and the android version number with the windows version number, this way you don't get an update to the latest flash dialogue. Some people put nines for numbers and have reported success. Or download the pre edited version floating around this post. Then make sure your browser settings are allowing plug ins and set to desktop. hope that gives some more detail also if you see loading for a while be patient it takes a bit to load in my experiences.
Works fine in portrait mode. A little jerky with lag in full screen landscape mode with 480 resolution. Dolpin set to Desktop mode. REMEMER TO UNINSTALL Flash 10.1 before installing 10.2 with Hulu fix.
Stock 3318 pack with 3.14 enhancement pack.
Installed. Seems slower than 10.1. But on the bright side, hulu hack works. It never did on 10.1

I agree about the slowness, but Hulu with 10.1 didn't work on Vegan 7. This one does. Now if we could only get general video support on Vegan 7...
Ill have to try this I've tried a few times to get hulu and no fix ever seemed to work.
Hulu works for me. Even tethered to my phone. May pause when tethered but only initially. No problems on home wifi. Fullscreen isn't quite fullscreen but if you choose the pop-out it fills the screen almost prefect. The on screen controls for the player are a bit difficult to use, but I can use them. The Hulu app works really well in portrait mode as a way to watch shows quickly. The about:debug part of the hack is critical.
i get no sound out of my flash videos, im on vegan 7. ive tried hulu and youtube, videos play fine but no sound
This worked on samsung galaxy tab Verizon with Klean v3. The trick is to enable flash plugin all the time in dolphin. I had mine set to on demand and when i changed it hulu worked. I also recommend choosing the pop out player when watching a movie. After you give it some time to load it runs really smooth

I'm on Vegan 7 and works fine for me other than working the controls is a pain (was like that before, not a 7 issue). Other flash players don't have that problem.

Does anyone else have problems with choppy video in Dolphin using Hulu? Is there a trick to get it to play smoother? Other videos play fine outside of the browser. I am running TnT Lite 4.4.0
No Sound...
I am also experiencing no sound irrespective of the source through the speakers. I can get sound through the headphones via music player though.
Update: I now have sound through the speakers but nothing from hulu....
Hello,
I just updated my tf101 to ics (ota official). On Honeycomb I think the YouTube app was the app I used to most, it could play HD content at full fps and there were no problems. Fast forward to ICS where every video either skips or lags when a lot of things are moving around on the screen. This has made the youtube app unusable.
When I still had CWM i was also using ICS roms, but they had the same problem, so, I went back to honeycomb and it worked fine again. For some reason I thought the custom roms were to blame so I tried the official ota.
So to my question, is anyone else having these problems? And if so did you solve it? Also, is there an alternative to the youtube app? (I have tried the web version but it's waaay slower than the app at playing video).
Thanks!
No problems here. You could try to goto Manage Apps and clear the cache for YouTube...and then if that doesn't work also clear the data. That would be the first step in trouble shooting.
for my case, is the 720p mkv files lagging, for youtube i notice some stuttering , not anything that obvious though. BTW many have reported video performance dropped dramatically on the ICS
So there is no way to fix this? I tried to download a trailer and it lags as well. So it is not just the youtube app. Shouldn't the tf101 handle videos pretty good?
I tried everything and finally...
I uninstalled adobe flash player, and it stopped skipping around. Wondering if there is a system conflict on this tablet as there is sometimes w/ desktop versions of google and the conflicts between shockwave and flash player... oh well, it worked. Super frustrating.
Hello there!
I've been searching the forums (mainly this one) and wasn't able to find a proper answer, so here I go:
I am REALLY happy with this phablet, being the Mate 7 my 5tht android phone, but I've never had any video playback problems: When I try to play a 720p mp4 file, it freezes at 1:00 (5 seconds more or less) or it stops and the system shows a popup: "Cannot play this video".
I've tried MX Player (HW and SW decoding), VLC and VLC beta, stock video player and MoboPlayer. Every one of them behaves the same way.
Also tried lower resolution files, and 360p aren't a problem for them: It plays them flawlessly. Played them from SD card and internal storage.
Btw, Youtube plays 1080p videos without a problem, and I usually watch short Twitch.tv sessions at highest resolution.
I don't know what else I can do, and I am seriously thinking about returning the unit, since it's one of my main uses (and that's why I just LOVE this screen).
Any help is appreciated and, also, any question regarding this problem.
[EDIT]
Btw, I am on 5.1.1 with EMUI 3.1 (build B324), unrooted.
Have you tried a factory reset? This would mostly fix issued like this. I'm running the same version of Android on the mt7-tl10 gold version and have never had an issue with this. In fact I'm currently happily re-watching Star Wars episodes 1 to 6 in 720p.
It sounds like the videos are being corrupted (correct me if I'm wrong), because that's exactly what happens when I try to play a video which torrent hasn't finished downloading.
Good luck!

Thanks for your reply.
Today I've discovered my SD card was having read issues, and even when I formatted it, it had issues with anything beyond 20MB, regardless being video or audio. Also, when i copied anything from the SD to the main memory, it kept having the same problems: mp3 suddenly stopped and videos couldn't be played.
So I extracted the SD, did a factory reset, and it looks like it's working flawlessly (fingers crossed).
So far, so good.

I'm glad I could be of some help!
I had the same issue with a previous device of mine, though the culprit had been a cheap and nasty MSD card I bought on vacation to squeeze extra photos in. I find that investing in proper storage (and taking the punch cost-wise) can go a long way, whether it be for your phone, PC, laptop or whatever.
Cheers! :highfive:
