Hey guys when ever i try to play 720p hd videos on my xperia active running ics 4.04
i get the error message "sorry,this video cannot be played"..and after this i wont be able to play any
videos till i turn my phone on again..and then for few minutes it plays smoothly and again it stops with that message..but in gb i never faced any such
issues with the same videos
i think it may be due to phones gallery app..so i opened those videos in MX player but there the video plays in S/W decoder mode and i cant change it
to H/W decoder mode because H/W decoder mode isnt available u can see that in the below screen shots.but after restarting everything will be ok ..
i formated my memory card but still the same ..only modification i made was that i rooted my phone..
PLEASE HELP...
screen shot when i opened 720p video in MX player(before restarting)
screen shot when i opened the same video in MX player(after restarting)
Error message while opening in default gallery app
Seems to be some kind of bug. Have you tried downgrading ICS from 4.0.4 to 4.0.0 (vanilla)? If you never encountered this problem before it's most certainly a software problem.
I don't know what kind of device you have, but there could also be some kind of compatibility issue. Try downgrading to vanilla or GB and see what happens:fingers-crossed:
I've experienced that on my S2 running 4.0.4 aokp.. but in my case it won't play 1080p high bitrate and .mkv videos.. tried mx player and i got the same problem.. on stock rom however, it plays fine and smooth without third party apps..
I think it's a matter of codec/libs that are require to play such file.. it's one thing that is still missing on aokp builds..

Hey everyone!
So I'm having this strange and annoying problem, every time I play video (let's say xvid .avi) the video stops after about 10min like it's finished playing the whole video file (goes back to menu or so). It happens with Mobo player, Mobo Video Player pro, Daroon player, MX Video player - those that I tried with. I thought maybe the CPU or GPU is overheating, but I really doubt on that, because the phone doesn't get hot, actually it gets more warm on a phone call, or when I surf the web. BTW, I don't think this problem is ROM dependent because I had this issue with the stock ROM and now I'm using the MIUI 1.11.25 ROM (Well didn't tested that on other ROM's that I tried, only those two).
So maybe somebody have the same problem and have a solution? Thanks!
I updated my Skyrocket via Kies to stock JB. Looking back at the videos I've recorded in the past month I noticed that the videos lag on playback, stop playing after a few seconds, or are unplayable at all. I have tried recording at the 720 and 1080 setting and still get the lag. I know it's not isolated to my phone because my wife's Skyrocket (also on stock JB) has the same problem.
Does anyone else have the same problem? If so, what is the remedy. I don't have this problem with the videos I recorded when I was on stock ICS.

Device Manufacturer & Model: LG Nexus 5
Android Version: 5.0.2
Rom Info: CM12 02/28 Nightly, tested also on CM12 02/15 Nightly
Detailed Problem Description:
Hi. I have encountered a very specific issue with MX Player. When I am playing full HD portrait video and next video is full HD landscape, the Android video driver seems to completely crash in the event when videos switch. E.g. when portrait one ends and landscape one starts playing. Sometimes the device freezes with corrupted graphics, sometimes it recovers, but graphics are shifted and reboot is needed to resume normal operation.
I have reset the settings to default when reproducing the issue and only setting I am using is Display / Settings / Screen / Orientation : Auto rotation. I am holding the phone in portrait, so basically the first video should be full screen on my phone and the second should be scaled down a lot to fit in portrait. It happens with both HW and HW+ codecs.
I have recorded two short videos which can be used to reproduce the problem. I have also recorded the behavior on the phone using another camera (this time the phone "kind of recovered").
Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Install MX player.
2. Set Display / Settings / Screen / Orientation : Auto rotation
3. Play attached videos when holding the phone in portrait, the crash should appear when the first ends and the second starts.
See recorded video for details.
Logs from MX Player
Video 1 - portrait
Video 2 - landscape
Issue recorded using another camera to show what happens on the phone
It works in default video player and does not cause anything similar. I did not have a chance to try it on stock ROM yet. However, I have a lot of videos with different sizes and switching between them does not cause the issue. Just full HD videos.
Let me know if any more details are needed.
It happens on stock 5.1 too. Very annoying if you have mix of portrait and landscape videos recorded.

It looks like ROM issue if HW has same issue.
FYI, HW is default media player actually which is provided by the OS.

I did some more testing. It happens on all factory images I had for Nexus 5, 4.4.4, 5.0.1, 5.1. All of them exhibit the same problem. I tried also the SW decoder, but that did not tell me anything, as SW does not follow the tag for portrait orientation, so the portrait video showed up as landscape anyway.
Now the interesting part is that default player does not crash like that, when switching between the videos. But it takes longer to switch. It seems that it deletes the whole drawing surface and starts it again. Contrary, when switching videos in MX Player you can always see last frame of previous video stretch to the following video size before it starts playing.
Hi,
I am using
Nexus 7 (2013)
Mx player version : 1.7.38 ( ARMV7 NEON )
Custom codec : 1.7.32
A few days ago, my device was upgraded to Android 5.1. Now, MX Player is unable to fast forward or resume to the middle of a MP4 or Xvid file. I can fast forward a couple of minutes at a time, but if I fast forward, using the slider, for a long period, like half an hour, the screen is blank but there is sound. If I resume a file to a point in the middle of the file, the same thing happens, i.e. sound and blank screen. MX player and files are the same. Previously, I was on Android 5.02 and everything was fine.
Would appreciate if you can fix this.
If need be, I can send the logs from my device.

Hello
i have the same device with the same android and the same version of the player
And the same problem lol.
it seems the hw+ is broken on 5.1 so im using the hw and its working fine
i dont think you should use the hw+ until its fixed because its making the device lags alot when the problem occurs
hope it gets fixed soon

Thanks for the tip. H/W decoder solves the problem.
