Video problems - General Topics

Hey there, i have a problem with youtube on my phone, everytime i load a video, my screen starts flickering, only the video, NOT the hud, i un-installed it, cleared data and tried every thing, but nothing works, could it be my rom or kernel??
Thanks for your time

Hi, maybe some problems with flash player.
Try uninstalling the flash player or update it via the play store.
There is a small possibility that your gpu is ****d up, you can test this by playing a game or try to play a self made video that u captured with your phone. If all works well, the flash player itself is to blame.
Good luck!

??????Question
:cyclops:When did it work last without doing that? Have you changed the device in anyway since then?

reflash the rom

I fixed it, just updated my rom , flash player didnt work D:
Thanks anyways <3

Video app only partially plays vids

Question: Hi there
the stock video app on my tab plays videos partially then stops and goes back to the video list. Is this a known bug and if it is does anyone know how to fix it? If i access videos via the file explorer it plays fine!
Also is there any way to play all videos continuously and randomly or a player that does this?
Thanks

Hmm. Playing the video partially is weird. What if you keep tapping the screen? will it finish playing?
If you click on the menu button, there is a option that says "Auto Play Next".
Hi there
the video stops suddenly so i am unable to tap the screen. It then returns to video app screen. The same video will play fully if accessed via the file explorer, that's the weird thing. This means i can not use the auto play next feature within the video app although the video app is what plays the video when opened via explorer.

Does this happen on all video's?
Hi there yes it does?

Have you tried any other video players just to see if it also happens outside of the stock player?
Yes, i jave tried numerous apps such as qq, zimly and mixzing and they all work fine. They just do not have what i need, which is the ability to arrange videos in various orders such as date or size as well as auto play next or random play. The stock player is perfect for this need. As above, if i open.the videos via the my files folder it uses the stock app to play the videos and the problem is gone. This would be fine but this way you lose the ability to auto play video. Its extremely frustrating! The video app seems to play about 2 mins of videos then audio goes slightly jerky and it stops and returns to app. Is there a way to re install the video app? Thanks

Reinstalling the video app would require Root. Have you done that or considered it?
By advised rooting does invalidate your warranty. Samsung issued a newsletter to all service centres advising them if they received any phones that had been rooted they were not to carry out repairs under warranty.
Anyway, has it happened all the time since owning the Tab or has it only started playing up recently?
If it has been playing up all the time it may be something to do with the codecs of the video where when you select direct from the player it picks up the problem but misses when you select the video using a third-party selector (My Files you mentioned).
If that is the case there is nothing you can do about it other than ensure your movie files don't have the same codecs.
If it has been playing up only recently it will be some form of corruption that has crept in.
The only way you are going to get around this is either root your Tab and reinstall the Player.app (providing you can get hold of one that is).... or carry out a Factory Reset that should clear the problem.
Hi thanks the advice. I will try a factory reset abd hopefully that will work as i do not want to root the device.

Adobe Flash Player crashing

Hello
I've installed the KB5Deodexv15 rom
flash videos worked fine, flash plugin would allow me to watch videos and stuff like that
Now I am not sure what program I installed recently that is now making Adobe Flash Player work and after that it crashes ( I see an icon instead of the video)
Does anybody knows what can cause that?

Back track.. Remove all apps and test to find out which app is causing the crash.

Have you ever seen that error before?
Adobe Flash was running fine when I bought the phone
Nope can't say I've seen that issue yet

US-CERT just posted a security advisory for the version shipping on the SGS4G -- might want to upgrade to 10.2 from the Market in any event.

Sorry this video cannot be played problems

Hello xda community!
I have been having a persistant problem with youtube lately with playing videos.
Everytime i go to play one, it gives me this annoying message "Sorry this video cannot be played."
I have tried clearing and resetting my browser, but the problem still persists. The same problem with the youtube app.
If anyone would be kind enough to help me resolve this problem, i would greatly appreciate it!

Custom rom? Fire wall activated? Latest flash players not installed? I have had those issues before that prevented me from using youtube
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
why dont you just use your youtube app?
I'm experiencing the same problem with the Youtube app.
In addition to that, I can't play any video from my SD card, getting exactly the same error message: "Sorry, this video cannot be played."
I've tried removing the cache used by the Youtube app, which helped in the past to solve some problems, but can't find a solution.
I'm using CM7 for Motorola Milestone.

ohk...on whatismyflash.com it is showing "Installed Flash Player: None(or disabled)
and i am using the factory ROM...i did not installed any other ROM ever before also. whenever i open the video page on youtube or dailymotion, it shows a BIG white play button, i click on it and it goes full screen, it loads and the video runs on the basic mobile player. I used to see the BIG WHITE play button before also but couldn't run the video at that time. But now its working!!! I used opera at that time and now still using the same version(automatic updates are disabled ) And of course, i always use the desktop agent to view websites and not the mobile version of websites. Phew...any more gusses?????????????
ok now its clear.if video plays in basic mobile player then you dont have any flash player install and neither you can play flash stuff.the basic use of flash player is to play the video itself on the website screen rather than by mobile player.
and ques about opera not playing that before could be because of an update by them as before we could only download the video by clicking on it.[this functionaly to play flash video in mobile player is common in browsers like dolphine]

flash means "swf files"
all other files can be run by the stock browser using the different available android services.

[Q] Videos won't play from apps or browser?

Hey I'm having a problem and wondering if anyone is experiencing the same thing or knows anything about it.
Whenever I try to watch a video I get some kind of playback error. I can play videos I already downloaded but if I try to watch from youtube or any other app or from a website in my browser, I get an error.
This started a few weeks ago and Its getting extremely annoying.
If anyone can help that would be awesome. Thanks in advance.
Are you using a custom ROM?

Oh yeah I'm running CM_Merged (the last release) sorry for leaving that out.
Thanks for the reply!
Youtubes broken, and video player is missing on rage, try using rock player for streaming and use youtube 2.1.6 apk, might work better than the current youtube app.
thank you so much! any ideas on other apps too? (like adult swim, onion, etc)
Sent from my SGH-T839 using xda premium
Not sure for the other apps.
