So I have an issue where I play a movie off my phone and within like 30 seconds ~ 1 min, the audio dies and the way to fix is to scroll to another part of the movie and it plays again for 30 seconds ~ 1 min. I have a mix of avi mp4 movies. Anyone else have this issue?? Thank you in advance!
It's an issue that several people have, including me. I also have some AVI's that the audio gets very distorted on, but don't cut out.
It has to do with the CODECs I believe, as other types of files will play perfectly well.

That kinda makes sense....thanks for the reply....wonder if someone knows what we are supposed to re-encode the movies at.
Did you tried vplayer, I am using it and never had problems like this.

I installed MX Video Player from the market, and it still goes silent. Then I went into MX Video Player's options and changed it from Hardware Decoding to Software decoding, and now I can play ones that would fail every time within a minute.
Give it a try.

I thought that the Inspire supported .avi.... Am I wrong? I don't know much about media files, but I know that they generally have a video and a audio stream. Some of my .avi files are standard def videos but don't play. Some have .ac3 audio and from what I looked up, it's not supported (at least for CM7). Okay, that much I figured out, but other videos with different audio streams don't work either. Usually, the video stream is xvid or dvix (that's what Gspot says at least).
P.S. Tried Rock player (both the lite version in the marketplace and the optimized arm7 version online), but the frame rate still seems bad (17-25fps).
Any ideas? Or am I wrong thinking that the Inspire supports avi?
Yea I saw a couple of "mouths" claming it supported .avi a few weeks back.
I have had no luck personally with avi that is placed on the SD. However if you are in a position to stream from windows it works fine. I duno if we are both missing something hahaha but yea no go on a couple of .avi files i tried....
maybe its a sampling / BR thing.(?)
I see you are having "streaming" problems. I ve had no problem streaming except on some avi's the sound/picture wont sync no matter what i do. Sorry i missed the streaming part of your post. my bad.
the lack of a proper file explorer and video player are the only two things that suck so far... I can live with that.
Try arcMedia or VPlayer Advance from market. It's free.

I am playing AVI files via a couple different players and experiencing the same issue - after an indeterminate (but short) period of time, the audio drops out and the video continues. I have tried Mobo, Meridien, QQ, and the player that launches from Astro. I am not sure what Htc app to use (if any-they seem designed for music or their video store) or if anyone else has seen this problem. The AVIs played fine on a vibrant, so I suspect it's not the files. However, YouTube works fine, so I am at a loss for what to do next. Any thoughts?

Thought it was just me!
Yeah, I am on my second device and still within my 14 day return time frame and have had the same problem on both. I was unsure if it was a glitch in the phone itself at first so I had it replaced in-store, but now I think it may be due to the Sense 3.0 UI. I have until next Friday to decide if I want to keep it and unless HTC opts to unlock the Bootloader, I think it will get returned!
This topic appears on HTCs forum and was created by a different user. It looks like it is affecting some users, now I am curious whether it is widespread or a fluke.

AVI sound issue
Hi, Im on a UK Vodafone branded sensation and am getting this problem. Ive tried the following players:
V Player
Stock
ES Strongs player
Rockplayer
And the audio seems to drop after 30-50 seconds, was playing a 800Mb ish AVI of the hangover. Video carries on and audio returns if I move the time slider, have played .mp4 files with no problems.
dice player
i have same issue - try DICE PLAYER, its working for me
This happens around 1:38 into an AVI file, it seems to only happen if you are using the hardware (or system) decoder, if you use a player that has software decoder available then there is no problem. I use QQplayer and let it do QQplayer decoder or auto in the settings and AVI plays fine. This does chew up extra battery though so I have just been converting files to MP4 using Handbrake LOL
Try Diceplayer.
Dice is the best player for Sensation.
Diceplayer can play 720p H.264 + DTS/OGG/FLAC MKV file.
longer battery life.
Just wondering if anyone has come across the issue when playing back .avi divx files.
Sound stops after a while while watching videos. Only way to fix is to forward the video.
HTC Please fix this issue.
Temporary workaround has been posted below!
have this issue too....called htc ... they said its a known problem wait for an update !!
yep i also notice that i put cars 2 on my phone for my son he was watching for a minute and the sound stop when i forward the movie sound is on again
Yea i had this problem too when playing with doubletwist but i dont seem to have it with diceplayer. Might be just the app u are using.
Problem resolved when using QQPlayer (android market free) video plays smoothly not audio cut outs . I believe its something to do with the decoder on the sensation, as qqplayer uses its own decoder the problem doesn't exist.

Anyway hope HTC fix this issue
How is the Video playback on our Sensation?
I'm currently at Android Revolution HD Rom.
And I can run some 720P 600MB MKV BDRIPs
But when I tried a 1.5GB 720P MP4 File it won't work and the phone seems lags/freezes. Black screen no sound
Btw I'm using Mobo Player
Anyone can recommened a better player?
I just want to test the power of Sensation plus the large screen with qHD Resolution is really a great treat.
Diceplayer is the best

i made a thread about this a few days ago. I hate to keep comparing this phone to my hd2, but this one does not handle simple processes fluidly like that one did. the hd2, once you had the right player, handled all codecs properly and it did not matter how big the file was. I played a 2 gig Watchmen .avi movie and had NO hiccups. I have gone through 5 players to try and find the one that will handle movies smoothly. None works as it should. I did not have to convert movies either. This is really irritating me.
Try arcmedia. It's the only player that won't cut off sound when I watch a movie for nor than 5 minutes. Ive tried 11-12 players and this is the only one that worked.
Hope it helps

i am using DicePlayer 1.1.3. It is hardware accelerated and I can play 720p TVShow mkv (1,09GB each) flawlessly. 720p and 1080p mp4 can play in default media player app. I have even tried 1080p mkv, file was source.code.2011.BluRay.1080p.DTS.x264-CHD DicePlayer handled it wery well without any lag and video & DTS audio in sync all the way.
I dont know if I am allowed to attach apk's, if I am I will attach the file later...
HW Acceleration don't work. Using Dice Player 1.1.4, Just blackscreen but the seek is still counting, with no sound. With Software Acceleration tried it on MoboPlayer. It got video but the sound is ugly fcked up
newset diceplayer version is v1.5.2
try diceplayer trial version.
I bought vplayer at first, but because it only used SW rendering the quality was far from great. Then I bought Dice player, as it supported HW acceleration. I've had my share of problems with it, but it was definitely worth it. Updates almost daily removed the crash after 5 minutes, improved the interface, added better subtitle support. I don't understand, why people mention the version 1.1.4, which is quite old. If you base your decision on such an old version you're making a mistake. There's really a huge difference since then and the program is updated very often.
Picture quality is just awesome and I managed to play everything so far. Didn't try HD yet, as I only have limited card space.
so its not just me....
From looking at all the responses it appears that some of us are having a problem with the way the Sensation is handling video playback. I have already paid for apps that worked on a lesser phone. This is a real concern to me.
Hey guys,
Trying to setup my GFs phone with some media to watch while at the gym, and I can get everything on there fine and use different players to watch it, but I noticed no matter the player there's a significant frame drop/stuttering in the playback, especially when compared to my S2.
Anybody else notice any choppiness when playing back media? Only tested with divx TV shows downloaded from the web (playback from phones camera seems to be fine.)
Thoughts?
Hrmmm. Not sure. I use MX video player for playback and have been happy. This is mostly for flash video and camcorder on phone, but I haven't tried any divx. For the most part everything is fairly smooth.

I use handbrake to knock mine down to the proper size and have zero issues, I also use mine on the treadmill. Beats the heck out of the TV. I use realplayer
I use mx video player too. It works great but sometimes the video freezes and you have to hit back and select the video again. But that's only on software decoding.
If you convert the video to MPEG you can use h/w decoding which fixes that and seems to make the battery last longer.

MoboPlayer works great for me.
Mx player is great,set to sw fast decode and it run very smooth. It support subtitle,interface is nice and easy to use.
