Is anyone's VPlayer FCing on them? I was using it yesterday morning and afternoon and all was fine. Transferred some files over to the phone just now and now I can't use the app anymore as it keeps on FCing on me. The app is removed from the Market as well so I'm not sure if the two are related.
Also, does anyone have a video player app that they recommend? It has to be able to play RMVB files smoothly.
Gave ArcMedia another try after speeding up my SD card and it doesn't lag anymore, but the audio and video slowly gets out of sync.
As for VPlayer, it continues to FC. Looks like we got shafted again.
Hi xda. Ok so the thing is every time I have installed a rom the default video player doesn't work. It say file cannot be played or played but when I flash back to 2.1 using rsdlite the default video player works fine. Any idea how to fix this? And please don't reply by saying that use a 3rd party video player. Thanks

Video playing works for me on the custom ROMs, but I don't play a lot of video. My guess is you've found a specific format that has trouble? (I've played back mp4 and gp3 and some others I think, but I can't remember which)
I'm referring go mp4s but here is the twist it plays mp4 files smaller than 10 mb but would play bigger files

I'm trying to nail down a definitive list of proprietary files for XT720. I'll see if I can find a big video and check this out. Have you tried in the stock Korean froyo by any chance?
I have tried tried it in stock korean froyo but don't a lot of sensors don't work on it. Btw just watched mw3 trailer on stock player it was around 8 mb and was a mp4 file

A friend of mine recorded a video with her Samsung Captivate, and sent it to me via e-mail.
I can't play it on my phone. ("Sorry, this video cannot be played.")
I am able to play the video on my PC, and I transferred it to my phone's SD Card using a USB cable and Mass Storage Mode.
I have the default video player installed, nothing extra and fancy.
I would think that there wouldn't be any problems playing the video on my phone since it was created on a phone.
I know there are other video apps out there, and I would love a recommendation for one that I can set as default and lose the built in video playback.
I would prefer to fix the built in player however.
I'm running KD1, stock, odexed, rooted.
If you're looking for a player. I like double twist. Easy to use in my opinion and I never encountered a problem

My phone is stock and won't play mp4's or mp3's. It has been doing this for about a week since my last ota.
My phone will play Mp4s, but only if they are recorded on my phone. If it came from someone else's phone, I may as well forget it. Very frustrating.
Slinger, you have to be careful since even if a file is a ".mp4" it might be encoded with a different codec. Our phones support MP4 files with a x264 codec for video and AAC audio. If the file you're trying to play isn't in that format, the default player won't accept it.
You can download Rockplayer Lite to play most other formats:

Thanks for the tip. So is the encoding on Captivate different? (that would explain a lot.)

Captivate encoding is the same as the vibrant, meaning the file should play on the galaxy s 4g. If I had a captivate or vibrant I would test it out and report back.

This is kind of random, but my sister has the same problem on her vibrant. She downloaded launcher 7 to try it out and all of a sudden her videos played again...nothing else was changed.

Aftering rooting with Stock, my video player is requesting that I open WiFi in order to play a movie from my sd card.
Has anyone else had this issue and what was done to correct it?
Thank you in advance
Sounds like you are using the connected media app on your phone instead of the gallery or watch (it maybe videos, im running bamf gingerbread). I just tested mine, and when using the connected media app and selecting videos, I get a prompt asking me to connect to wifi.

Do you mean a connected media like VLC?
No, I believe all sense roms have an app called connected media. Try looking for it in your app drawer.

Roger...Got it. I down loaded MoboPlayer app and now I am using it
excursively as media play (movie player). Do you have any other suggestions for media player apps?
Thank you again!
I use v player. Simple to use and has all the standard screen ratios. Rockplayer lite irritated me with the damn pop up everytime I tried to use it.
Ok, I will play around with V player again. Thank you very much!
The video player can play a video taken from camcorder just fine. However, the screen goes black and app does not respond after the video ends. Able to use home key to return to home page, but the app is unresponsive until force close and restarted. I get the same result when viewing videos thru the camcorder mode or directly from the native video player app. Is there something I have overlooked?
Not sure if this went on with prior version as I am only putting the rom through its paces seeing how stable this version has been for me. Thanks for any insight anyone may be able to shed. By the way, I've tried both the 2d & 3.1 kernel with similar results.
Delete the .apk, clear cache partition and dalvik cache, fix permissions, reboot let phone sit 10 minutes then push the video player .apk from the stock rom and see if that helps. Or download a different one from the market.

Thanks for your help.
Does that mean it is working? I hope so. Add [SOLVED] to the thread title. Thanks.
I recommend deleting the original video player and installing mx video player from the market. Much much better...
