[Q]Problem with Stock Video Player! (logcat attached) - Samsung Galaxy R i9103

Hola!
Device Configuration: Before I describe the problem, plz have a look at my signature to see my device configuration. It will give you the details about the ROM, OS and kernel currently running on my device.
Problem: Since the last couple of days the Stock Video Player (Samsung Stock) has been behaving erroneoulsy. Whenever I try to play a video the player opens but the video does not play. All the controls are shown on the screen but there's no video or audio playback. I can press the play/pause and next/previous buttons but there's no playback. Video playback through other 3rd party video players like MX Player is perfectly fine.
Here's a screenshot of the problem:

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
What I've tried so far:
1. Cleared the cache and data of the Videos app from Settings>Applications>Manage Apps
2. Deleted the VideoPlayer.apk file from /system/app using root explorer and cleared all the leftover files like in /data/data and dex files.
3. Obtained a fresh copy of the app apk from Neo ROM and Re-installed the VideoPlayer app by pushing the apk to /system/app using adb and fixed permissions as well.
I've done all these step over and over again 'n' number of time but to no avail. Still the same problem as described earlier.
4. Finally I repeated the playback process and recorded a logcat. (attached)
What I suspect: Last week I flashed the beats audio libraries. But I wasn't pleased with the effect so I restored a Nand Backup that I had previously done. I think this process messed up some media libraries.
OR
Some recently installed app is causing problems. Can't say!
I'm not a dev so I cannot myself analyse the logcat to pin-point the issue. So I was hoping that some one from the forum who's good with logcat's could take a look and if possible point out the issue.
Thnx!

Anyone? Plz

I don't go to sleep until I utilize my quota of 8 thanx a day!

1) Get SD Maid
2) Go to app control
3) Go to settings => Include system packages and scan system packages
4) Select The problematic app - Select Video Player
5) Select Reset app to its install status.
6) Go to settings=>applications in the phone and clear data/clear cache if available
7) Also if possible clear you media player cache and clear data .
8) Reboot the phone (Dont know if i rebooted but worth a reboot)
9) Wait for the cache to be rebuilt.
10) Fingers cross and thank me if works
Not a dev guy but this worked for me for quite a few things when app responds strangely

I tried...but same result as before. Anyways thanx for suggesting.:thumbup:

[APPS] New Android Music Player + Other new stock apps

SOURCE DROIDLIFE
A test market somehow made its way onto the phone of a writer over Tech From 10 and embedded not-so-deeply in it was the new 3.0 Music player that mimics the version seen on Honeycomb, only it works flawlessly on your smaller smartphone. As you can from the shot above, you now get the “Recent” section with album previews and a scrolling wheel feel, streaming music service that I can’t figure out how to unlock, and a much more finished experience than the previous leak.
Here are a few additional downloads that originated from Tech From 10′s test Android Market. The new camera, gallery and desk clock apps are below for you to download, but for whatever reason, they may not work on most or any phones. In fact, the only app that would not force close for me, was some sort of test cube wallpaper that is also available below. Feel free to install them all though and report back if you have any success on any of your devices. The new music player which definitely works, is back at this post.
*Note – Again, these may not work at all. But if they do, please let us know what phone you are using.
thanks to droidlife

Anybody having FC issues with the new Gallery on the Nexus One also the new Clock and Camera aren't installing. I'm on Gingerbread 2.3.3
Yeah, I just get Force close with the gallery and the music, camera and desk clock won't install at all
Stock with 2.3.3
no problems with music but gallery does fc
Music is failing for me but I had previously installed the honeycomb player.
Install wouldn't work until I removed the previous apk, data and dalvik cache
woot: was able to fix the app by moving it to the system/app dir, droidlife made it sound like it works from data/app
how do you get to the cover flow style view? like in the first picture or was that just stolen from some tablet screen shots?
is there a way to install the new camera, clock or music player without writing over the stock system apps?
well i guess camera/clock aren't even working...
im not rooted.
I installed this on my Hero and they all installed except clock and gallery force closes.

Didn't work for me
I can search music and download music, but on the main screen it doesn't show a "Music" category or anything.
Nothing pops up .. derictly gone to music .....ok thell how

Not working for me either. Followed the link, then opened the market when it gave me the option of using the browser or market. Had Music, even downloaded a few of the freebies, rebooted, and no Music in the market. Bummer.
My market updated itself earlier today after I updated my ROM. Possibly just clearing caches would work. When I opened the market I had to accept
a user agreement and then music was added.

I was able to get it by clearing cache and data.

Didn't work for me but this did:
Go to the desktop (web) version of the market from your phone and click on the music tab on the left. Then when the popup comes up choose to open it with android market, not browser. You should get another popup to accept the terms of the market and viola! you now have the new market, no reboot needed. Here's a link to the music section just in case.
https://market.android.com/music
Edit: actually you may still need to reboot. The new market didn't stick for me until I rebooted. I would just reboot from the market to be safe.

Got it. Clearing Data for the Market did the trick
All that's needed is a cache wrote on the market, off that doesn't work, clear data
Because one signature isn't enough

Live stream games to Twitch/YouTube/Facebook with internal audio (game sound)

There are a bunch of live streaming apps on the play store, but all of them can't capture the game audio directly into the stream. Android blocks this permission, but it's possible to have access to it if you have rooted your device.
I use Omlet Arcade to stream my PubGM and I got a little tool to let internal audio capturable with it.
View attachment omlet-audio-agent-1.0.1.apk
Basically, you install that app and the Omlet Arcade app, and then convert the agent into a system app with your favorite tool. For example, if you use Magicsk then use the App Systemizer module to activate the permission. If you're using other non-systemless root methods, you could probably use Titanium backup or other "system app" mover utilities to accomplish it.
It will show you this before you have systemized the agent.

}
Once you have systemized the agent, it will show this.
And then you can find the advanced setting in Omlet Arcade to turn on internal audio recording (it's on by default if you have the agent).
Hope someone finds this helpful to stream their games from the phone. Cheers!

Anyone use roku?

The Roku app on my 3a closes right after the splash screen. I've rebooted, reinstalled and can't get it going. Does anyone have Roku that can check?
I don't have Roku but I downloaded the app for you to test. I made it to this screen without any issues.

Thanks. I have no idea how to fix this issue now lol
Mine is working fine---I used the remote functions. My Roku stick is still on OS 9.0: 4142. If yours has been updated to 9.1, it may be different. It does seem to be the app. Try to delete cache and data on the app? Factory reset? :crying: Good luck.
Dumb little annoyances: I just spent over an hour and a factory reset to try to get my Google passwords to show on Chrome on 3a. Seems I had to sign out/in from PC to get it working--at least that's what worked but no info on web about such a thing. It's never been an issue on 4 other devices including iOS and Fire. Son had no issues with his new 3a and Chrome passwords. ????
I have Pixel build PD2A.190115.032
Roku build v.6.0.5.221254
All works well. I use the default launcher. I don't use Facebook messenger chat heads. A couple things that might interfere with Roku.

Had the same issue. Fixed it by doing the following:
1) under App Info enable permission for location, mic, storage, and allow modify system settings (under advanced)
2) don't remember if I opened the app and then went to App Info and cleared the storage or vice-versa
3) clearing storage reset the permissions, app opens and functions properly, permissions are requested on first time using features that require them
TLDR some combination of manually enabling permissions and clearing storage got it working for me
Hope that helps

This is also cheaper than firestick and work with many free apps to stream movies, tv series, live tv, and more.

Google Recorder stopped responding, is crashing, I need to recover my files, help appreciated

Hello guys,
can you please try something for me? Preferrably on Pixel 4a, yet others should work too.
Can you update the Google Recorder to the last version, record something, go to App Info, Disable the app, restart phone, enable the app again and see if your recording is still there or whether it got deleted?
My Google Recorder stopped responding (presumably after the last update). I cannot start the app and I need to save my files. I will be grateful for your help.
More info about my problem to be found here:
Google Recorder crashes and cannot start, I have more than 1GB of recordings I cannot lose, help - Google Pixel Community
Something more about the recorder (not from me)
//https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/pixel-recorder-app-file-location.3997097/
//https://www.reddit.com/r/pixel_phones/comments/hc7w4h/cant_find_my_google_recorder_files_after/
I cannot root without losing data. Maybe someone can also advice me how to get the files using the "ADB commands"?
Thanks in advance for any tips
The location of the recordings is here on a pixel 4a:

Hello John, thanks for your reply, yet this folder not accessible without ROOT. That is the issue and the whole reason why I have this problem. Unless you have some other way / app which can access it. For me, the folder is completely hidden.
Edit: Root browser by JRummy Apps can view the recorder folder in data\data,
but it does not see any files folder or any files inside (as I am not rooted and rooting would wipe the device).
But apparently there is a parent "Mount Point" of /dev/block/dm-1", so root browser may not be able to view that location.
Without root, it will be hard to get those files.
If this crashing of recorder happened with the latest update, then maybe other users are having the same problem, so google will fix it and hopefully it will start working again in the next version.
The only other thought I have is to find the APK of the previous working version, unpack it, make the version number one higher then the "bad" verison of recorder, repack and sign. Then you would be able to install it and it should see your files again.
Interesting, thanks. I will try that trick with modifying the version number, if the next recorder update won't fix the problem.
Hello good people. The 23/06/2021 Google Recorder update fixed my issue and I now succeeded in backing up my offline-saved recordings. This made me to choose other app to use for recording sound though. Beware as well!
