After the ics upgrade every time I try to stream video I get this error. Sorry, video cannot be played. Our another variation thereof depending on which video app I have set to default. I have tried with several different browsers, and with streaming default set to several different video players.
Has anyone encountered this or have a suggestion for a fix?

First have you tried anything to fix it cause there are s few basic things you can do to try and fix it.
I've tried searching for the issue but haven't found any results.
What are some of the basic things I should try? Or is there an existing thread I could review that I could get a link to?

Try clearing your cache, I use App Cache Cleaner, it is free on the Play Store. If the video in question is a streaming video from the internet, while in the Play Store find Adobe Flash Player and make sure it is installed. If you have a custom Recovery you can clear your delvik cache as well.
Done, still does the same thing.
This started after the ota update to ics.
I'm running the stock ROM.
Any other suggestions?

Sorry but the only other advice I can give you is to do a factory reset and see if that fixes it. But remember to back up as much as you can, although because you are on complete stock you are somewhat limited to how much you can back up.

Advice or help required.
I ordered and recevied a Sensation from Vodafone on the 20th of May, it arrived and overall I was pleased with it. Then I noticed that the audio on video (tried different players and different files) was cutting out after 1m38s. When I skip forward any amount the sound returns for another 1m38s.
I spoke to Customer Services and they suggested I return the phone for a replacement, which arrived today but suffers from exactly the same problem.
I've posted about the problem on here and noticed other people doing so on other forums (including Vodafones) but nobody seems to have a solution as yet.
Do I return the phone and see if the same happens or swap out for something else? I don't want to lose the phone but if I have to wait on a HTC/Vodafone fix I feel like I could be waiting months.
Thoughts?

nope u dont have to return it. Just change the format its recording.
I have had this problem with my own htc device as well.
Just go to the camera setting WHEN its set to record video, and change the format.
Sorry, should've clarified that this is on films encoded as .avi files, rather than video shot on the phone itself.
does this also happen if you encode the movie as a .mp4?
also does this happen using all video players or just the video player that comes shipped with the phone?
have u tried different players?
Tried different players and different files, although both were .avi.

I have the same problem, I use qqplayer and my videos work fine now.
The issue appears to me to be if you use hardware to decode, if you choose software the .avid files seem to play Ok with any player you can change these options, I have not found a way with the stock player yet.

Thanks very much for the qplayer tip, this seems to work with no problems.

I have this same problem too. I even went back to AT&T to exchange my Infuse for a new one bcos I thought it might've just been the phone since i haven't found anyone else who's had this problem.
But it happened again after I got my new phone. Do you have Advanced Task Killer ? I found that it happens less frequently if you uninstall that app. When I had that app, it would happen to me every day after a couple hours of restarting my phone. But after I uninstalled it, it rarely happens. I don't know what's still causing it though.
never had issues with Video Player ( built in one )
I have lots of Mp4 , and Divx and even Avi files ; all of them play
Weid thing though I tried to play some DEMO FILES (samsung demos ) couple didnt play any SOUND!!! but then when I played on PC I ahd SAME ISSUE
SO check the file QUALITY BEFORE u decide to change phones
There are few ways to download and convert "YOU TUBE" videos , I msotly convert them after they downloaded ( FLV-> Mp4) so that way I can use on Both iphone(wife) and My Andriod phone!!
HD movies and Music Videos on Infuse ROCK !!!
I get this randomly with mp3's. it's happened about 3 or 4 times. and it won't just be the built in media player. if it happens there it will also happen with google music.
I'm getting this with youtube videos quite frequently. I'm on infused 1.3.0. Was hoping it was an issue with that rom but it sounds like it's happening on stock phones too!

I have been having this same issue with all media on my Infuse 4g for a while. Restart has always resolved it but it would come back multiple times and day and require a restart. For me, removing the official twitter app resolved my problem and I have been going several days now with no media issues. I don't if this will help or not, but I wanted to post it just in case.
Wow, nice find! Next time I have an issue I'll try uninstalling the Twitter app and see if that fixes mine too.
I shall report back.
Reboot into CWM... and go to fix permissions. Worked for me and I've never got the problem again

Try clearing market data. If that doesn't work try factory restore. Others are having similar issues.

Yeah. Been seeing that on and off for several days now. One of 2 different error messages and a refusal to update... Definitely not ICS related since I haven't taken the plunge yet. Some thought it was leak related because the timing the same, but I can confirm that it is happening on stock from time to time too, so probably just coincidental timing.
(think I may have to go ahead and flash something ICS after work now that there are a few choices with most of the bugs squashed)

I can say I had some troubles with the play store lately which caused app to not show up, all day I tried every method to get all the apps to show up.
It all started after I flashed mhx superlite 3.1 .
Eventually I downloaded the stock build.prop and replaced it with my own, that pretty much solved all the issues.
sounds like a bad update, clearing data and maybe even uninstalling the update and allowing it to re-install on wifi could fix it.

Does anyone have the solution for this? I'm having the same problem...
Maybe its because the market isn't recognised the ics, this happens a few times and is usually solved just by waiting.

I've got same problem, plus hundreds of games and apps has disappeared from play store, using see arc s, apps I've got installed no longer compatible, tech support told me to do a factory reset, no way, if that doesn't work how will I install all my apps again, 2.3.4 gingerbread, doomkernel v 22
That seems like a mess...
Lets give it a fresh start, which firmware version/rom/kernel are you on?

Delete your Google account from accounts & sync.
Reboot to recovery, wipe Cache +dalvik.
Reboot.
Add your Google account.
Enable the option "Keep this device backed up with my Google account" to automatically restore missing apps.
Do this, and it should be fine.

no longer a major concern with the new google play.
personally, I find it a lot easier to pick what to reinstall from the website via a desktop.
this is the response i got from Google play support, Thanks for following up and for providing those additional details about the issue you're experiencing on Google Play. In reviewing the information you've provided as well as our records, it appears that this issue is related to the fact that you're not using the authorized ROM that came with your device - using any ROM besides the factory default may cause the device to have limited functionality and may cause unexpected behavior with the Google Play Store app. Unfortunately, we won't be able to troubleshoot this issue further because the issue appears to be unique to the way your device is configured, and we can't recreate the issue with our devices here. To resolve the issue, I recommend using the authorized Android operating system provided by your manufacturer that can be obtained from their website or your carrier.
So either I don't know how to use the internet or I'm the only person with this problem (on an evo shift, of course).
Tried everything I found on every site (even on different phones).
"Device not compatible with this version" error on most apps. The apps don't even show up in the play store when I search them, I have to find a link to the store online, then I get the error.
Info:
Evo Shift
CM7.2 RC2
I'm looking for a solution before I end up wiping it in frustration.
Suggestions?
Thanks.
What version of the Play Store do you have? Have you tried installing a different verson of the Play Store. Had something similar happen with a themed version.
Try flashing the latest google apps:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1311342
Play store version 3.5.19
But that was just after I tried flashing that new gapps, still nothing.
Can't find a different version of just the play store...care to throw me a link?
yeah i had this issue before on my bionic not sure why it does this but try flashing again wipe etc.. and see if it is the same issue or try uninstalling updates on applicatoins "play store" etc... sometimes that fixes the problem..
Well, wiping it and re-flashing CM is gonna be my last resort.
Ill try it tomorrow if all else fails.
Tried downgrading, and now the apps (like facebook, instagram) show up in the market, but they're still "not compatible".

Settings -> Manage applications -> Play store -> Clear data
Try to releaunch Play store.
Tried that, cleared data, cleared every cache possible, tried several different gapps .zips, my phones getting sick of it so my journey is nearing its close.
I'm thinking its something to do with the play store reading my device as something its not, but in the settings everything checks out. (htc_speedy, etc.)

The android market was renamed / rebranded as the play store a while back

Is your LCD density stock? Changing lcd density often causes play store issues. If it is you can try using the market enabler app to get access to the market. If that doesn't help try editing your build prop to spoof your phone as a nexus s as that is probably the compatible with the most apps.

Yeah when I first started having this problem I saw the lcd density solution on an Evo Design forum, and I had just recently set my density to 210, so I figured that was it. Changed it back, NADA.
But I changed my info to that of a nexus S and everything is working now. Thank you!!

No problem! I ran into that when I was running newSense a while back (bad flash I believe) and didn't feel like redownloading and reflashing the rom so edited the buildprop
when you changed density back, did you reboot/ clear cache and dalvik then clear market data? If not, then that probably still could have been the issue.

Oh yeah I cleared every cache I could possibly clear before I did that. I tried everything. Never even knew you could change that type of info, but I did it with ROM Toolbox Pro.
Quick question, although it belongs in another section, how do you like newSense? I'm looking for something new after having CM for over a year.

Its probably the best rom on the shift. The best combination of speed and and stability. Although its probably not as fast as a pure aosp build, the difference is negligible. Drob, onelove and dread deserve major props. Its my go to rom when I'm on my college campus... as its the only place in detroit with 4G lol
