Hello all,
First of all, thanks to all the devs for making ROMs for us. I have tried almost everyone of your ROMs from caty, zeus, aeon, vagabond, revelation, and now I am on emancipation a1. Have been since 4.13.
I only noticed today that I couldn't play anymore avi's or mkv's. I could play youtube videos and videos that I recorded from my phone. I thought that the new lib files + flashing a DD kernel would fix it but it didn't. I also tried the lib files + infusion kernel but that didn't work either. What I also tried was go back to Zeus 6 and that's what did it. I could play avi's and mkv's again.
I was hoping that this was something that you already noticed but if not, let me know if you need more info. Is there a fix out there already for this that I missed? I was hoping you could work on this since I want to continue using Emancipation but I really need to play blue's clues episodes for the little people in the back of the car.
Thanks!
There will be an update to take care of this

Don't know if you checked but we updated the libs for download and everything works. To play avi use another player other than stock like mx player.

With Froyo seemingly right around the corner, I'm not going to risk letting trojans in on my phone for some limited Flash support.
flash lite or flash 1.0 works on eclair and will enable some videos that couldnt be seen w/o it to play...this can lead to confusion about "flash works on eclair"
a full froyo rom is needed to use flash 10.2...but id imagine given how close the last MR ota was from fascinate to continuum and that the fascinate 2.2.1 ota already went out last week....that the continuum's cant be far off
hope so
hope so it froyo comes out quick
Seems like everything with continuum is slow

Good morning XDA,
I've followed XDA for a few months now, reading as much as I can about all of the neat Android development going on here. I haven't had much to say that others haven't said before, but I haven't seen much mention regarding an issue I've noticed on a few of the new Gingerbread ROMs.
Video playback: I can't open any video files. Youtube and flash are ok, but an "unsupported" errorpops up with .avi, .mkv,.you name it. GR-11 and Subpression both do this. I think it may be something to do with the build.prop, but I'm not close to any of the developers here. Any solutions or others that have noticed this?
Just wanted to raise it on the rare chance it hasn't been noticed. ROMs are run on an i896.
Thanks for the hard work everyone!
It might be your rom or not a perfect flash because I'm on perception 2 beta 2 and im having no problem

No issues on Continuum either.
I would try reflashing it and see if that helps cause stuff can screw up in a flash

Have you used SD Maid? It did give me some trouble after using it so I suggest not to.
If not, clear cache/dalvik and reflash your current ROM (or another if you want).
If that doesn't work.. Backup everything (and transfer your files to your computer), Factory reset through cwm (it will not clear your sd) and reflash your ROM.
Could be a Touchjizz 4 thing.. I just flashed GR-11 and also have the same problem. I don't experience any problems with the stock video player on stock JVB.
I tested it and it seems to work on Stock GB with the stock video player. No such luck with Continuum v5.1, Mosaic I, Subpression, or GR-11 so far. The exact error is: "Sorry, this video cannot be played". The video has no length, so it's just not reading it correctly.
I installed ADW and tested it and it doesn't work either, so it seems its not a TouchWiz 4 thing. Stagefright tweak doesn't alter anything either.
And no, I have not used SD Maid.
I will try again and reflash to stock for a third time. Maybe that will help.
Getting bored of flashing the same thing over and over D:
I haven't had any problem with video playback on perception 2
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
Perception II Beta 2 works with video. Not sure why it's different, but it is.
Before I installed the ROM I checked to see if it was the kernel (Talon 0.1.5) causing the issues, but it was fine.
Not sure why.
I was on GR11 couple days ago and it played .mkv no problem.Now on Mosaic and still plays fine.As for avi, I dont think stock player support it,could be wrong.

mkvs are working for me on subpression 3. but many things were broken for me on g-r11
it may be something to do with enabling stage fright in build.prop. look "media.stagefright.enable-player" and try changing it to false if nothing else works.
Had the same problem with GR 11. I just downloaded a different video player in the market; mobo.
GR 12 plays avi files fine. I don't have a mkv file with me to test. It was part of the changelog for 12 that media playback bug was fixed.
Sent from my Captivate running GR-12
This is caused by stagefright.
Disabling it will give you all video format support but get 1500 in CPU part of Quadrant.
Enabling it will disable mkv and avi playback, but get 5000ish in CPU part of Quadrant benchmark.
Okay, I have tried 2 different .avi videos and both quit playback after 1 second. There is never any video and you can hear the first second of audio. After finding another video player and playing it using software decoding, it worked but wasnt in snyc with audio.

Thats odd. I can play multiple file types and codecs no problem. Make sure you're on 1.7.15 and maybe try some alternate kernels, glitch from the fascinate forums works amazingly for me.
If you still have issues, try...
1. Battery pull, this fixes some random radio issues and other things. Can't hurt to try.
2. Reflash rom and whatever kernel you use if you use one.
3. Data wipe/factory reset in recovery. You can make backups with titanium and miui to get everything back.
If you still have issues try using cm7, omfgb, some other rom and if it doesn't work there then it's your phone.

I dont think i use a kernel? Care to explain?
A kernel is sorta like the base of the rom in layman's terms. The rom is what you see and interact with and the kernel is like the underlying drivers that make things tick... you are running the standard kernel that comes with the rom. You can check the Fascinate development forum for kernels, I recommend Glitch for the best speed and awesomeness. It'll just give you extra features, speed, and possibly fix your problems.

+1 For Glitch. It's freakin sweeeet.

When people say that video does not work and it is now working in Zeus rom or with stock kernel what are they referring to? I have tried many roms on my infuse and have used custom kernel since the day I got it and my you tube, and videos, and recording video all work fine. I don't understand what is not working for people. Video calling?
If it's working for you, fantastic. Please stop asking this question. You are going to piss alot of people off.

When the gingerbread leaks first came out only stock kernals would allow video (any video) since then we have gotten gingerbread bootloader and the devs have found the right files to make video work with the custom kernals I believe Dman is the one that got the video working it should be working for everyone now
I'm currently running airfulip's AOSP Style X and previously was running dsexton's ICINB 2.3.7 v2. While running either ROM, I was able browse the web but YouTube videos would not always play. I would only be able to play YouTube videos successfully 2 out of 10 attempts. Now just to be sure, I tried them on my windows Nokia 710 and the same videos had no problem playing each and every time. I did this with the phones side to side. Both phones are on the same network, Wind Mobile. I tried fixing permissions, just because that's something everyone recommends when having weird issues like this, but it did not good. I even tried factory reset and re-installing the ROM and then another factory reset for good measure and it still has problems with playing YouTube. It's really weird it will play on the rare occasion, but for the most part, it's a no go. The screen just sits there, with the loading arrow circling trying to load the video but to no success. BTW, when I am on wifi, I do not have this problem. Any suggestions?
Sounds like a data speed problem. Both those ROMs as far as I know have no video issues. Try running speedtest and see. If it is a data problem try flashing another modem. FB's got CWM flashables in the dev section.
hello,
I'm running airfluips 2.3.7 SOAP style X ROM and you tube is working fine
its known not to play videos. and search criteria wont show everything you see as like on a PC because of the different video formats people use that cell phones cannot handle. Although i have heard if you have adobe flash player installed videos will load better in the browser
Best of luck! =)
Thanks for the suggestions. Tried a few different modems, did no good. Ran a speed test with mobilespeedtest.net on both the nokia 710 and GS4G. The nokia consistently was a bit slower, but it had no problem loading up and playing YouTube vids. I really don't get it. My GS4G will play YouTube but it just plays it on and off. Majority of the time it just sits there trying to load the video. Again, I don't have this problem with wifi. So it seems as if it get's real sticky when running off my 3G service, because wifi has no issues loading and playing YouTube.
Did you by any chance install the the beats audio mod? It happened to me after doing so. Reverted, everything's fine now.

No beats audio mod. The fact that I don't have any issues on wifi and the fact that I don't have any issues on the same network with my nokia 710 loading and playing the same videos has to mean there is an issue with the youtube app hooking up to my 3g data service. I'm gonna give valhalla final a try again. I don't remember every having this issue with valhalla final. So if it happens running valhalla final then I think im done troubleshooting. lol.
So it seems Vlahalla Final has no problems with youtube on my phone. It's very odd. I'm gonna just stick with this until I go full time to windows phone when Apollo is out in the fall.
I simply love Valhalla Final.
On my opinion, best ROM this phone has, combined with Team Acid kernel and Adrenaline Shot it doesn't get any better than this.

I have the same problem and I'm running dsexton's icbinb rom. I've been told to use gremlin remover.. but when you don't have access to a PC you just can't. I have no other problem with this Rom the YouTube issue is all! I'm gonna flash the new version of the Rom and see if it fixes it. Also, is it OK to flash over the old version with the aroma installer? Or do I have to do a wipe?

Sorry for the dumb question, but, did you try to reboot ?
I had a problem with YouTube videos 2 days ago and a reboot fixed it.
Apparently some flash or RAM issue.

Both. Viewing videos I've taken with camera and avi files play fine.
