Alright, so a little backgroud first.
I'm running Galaxy Mod RLS 16 and Lean Kernel on my I535. if it matters I have the note II camera installed.
Whenever I try to use a video messaging service, whether skype or snapchat, after recording the video it sends me to the review screen where I get a message from Android saying "can't play the video". My research indicates that this error is a result of not having the proper codecs. I understand that the codecs are not software like they are on a PC, so my question is where are the codecs stored on the phone, is it part of the ROM, or could flashing a new kernel help?
when I look at reviews for my phone in the play store they indicate that these apps should be fully functional.
I searched the forums thoroughly for an answer and couldn't find anything.
I really like GM RLS16, and wish I could tell Hero about this.
Thanks for the help!

Occasionally I like to watch some very long video podcasts, but I usually only listen until it sounds like something important is happening, then I go back to the video. This is easy enough to do on a pc, but I would like to do the same thing on my droid. Does anyone know if such an app exists or if it would even be possible? From what I have read, older versions of android require a video "surface". Not sure if this holds for 2.2/2.3. Even just being able to shut of the screen would help. Thanks ahead of time to those who provide insight!

Have you tried Act 1 Video Player? I can't post a link because I am new here. I saw a review for this app, and it says it has a "play in background" option. The review said it cost $2.49, but there is a free trial version.
I currently use an iPhone. I had a Motorola Atrix for a few days, but returned it, because I could not get it to play video podcast in the background. That was before I found the review for the above mentioned app.
I just recently installed the ICS[RC1] build on my captivate, I love it but I just noticed some quite serious issues and I am surprised to know that they haven't been mentioned yet, may be no one else had these but anyway here they are:
1. The camera frame-rate while recording a video is extremely slow compared to the rest of the ROMS which are not ICS based. I verified this a couple o times and it really is very slow, not only in 720p but also in 480p. Also, I cannot pause a video while recording it. I mean it can only be stopped and NOT paused. Now, I don't know if you can do this in the real ICS but i think it is quite an important feature which should be there.
2. The flash player doesn't work properly. In opera, dolphin, boat or any other browser while viewing in desktop mode. I can watch a video but I Cannot go full screen, the whole browser hangs and I have to restart it.
Someone please check if he/she is having these issues or not, I love everything about this ICS port but these things really bother me

Please post your issue in the appropriate thread in the Q&A section.
Blu Studio owners, please, share your experience about using some video chat apk with the device!
I've tried Skype (that is working only as voice call software, as you know), than Tango, Fring, ooVoo, Yahoo Messenger with video plug-in and others, without much success.
Now I have Fring installed, it sometimes works sometimes not, but it's far from being stable.
I also tried to install the Google Talk video chat version from here, XDA. My phone is rooted, so I could install it as system apk, it run but simply did not offered the voice and/or video call feature. So I put back the original, only written-chat Talk app.
Does anybody have more success with video chat on Studio 5.3?
(Certainly the normal mobile phone video call works well. That is why I think there should be some app that works with this processor and system.)
Thanks,
Tibor
Hi guys,
As you can see I'm new at the forum, but I have a Motorola Atrix 4G, Rooted, Unlocked BOOTLOADER, and with the NOTTACHTRIX ROM Installed with the Darks Side Kernel....
I also recently bought a Blu Studio D510, and I have an issue with play music...
I tried with several music players, and I'm still not success...
All the type of files that I tried are .mp3 and .wma
Do you know were I need to put the files in order to used the music player?
Thank You...

As per the manual, the phone was only test for video telephony. Pure voice (CS or circuit switched) calls with video, not IP video "chatting" like Skype and the likes. Strange, but that's what it seems like.
I've seen in another thread on XDA that somebody could use QIK video chat with BLU Studio 5.3. (Freely downloadable from Play Store.)
I've installed it now. It's really working! It's not the best chat program since the free version is not compatible with any other chat apps (like Skype or Viber) but at least -- works. So, if you want to use free-of-charge video chat with this phone you should convince your family members and friends to also install QIK...
Hey,
So I'm on a stock 5.1.1 and updated to the latest Google Photos version, which I think screws with my devices HW acceleration. Basically , after updating I can't watch any HD videos without the frames stuttering, the screen sometimes blacks out in middle of viewing videos as well. Searching around I found that more people experience this, but it isn't that widespread. The problem goes away if I revert the update. Any help for additional workarounds would be appreciated.
Thanks
I was able to find another solution to this. With the latest photos app running, I went in to developer options and switched from NuPlayer to AwesomePlayer making things working smoothly again when playing videos.
If anybody can check what player they're running after updating the app and tell me if they experience video playback stutter with it, I'd appreciate it.
Seems like Google switched between default players on the different OS updates, I'm wondering if they've done the same and it didn't register or something.
Thanks.

This worked for me also. Nice to see confirmation.
Good Tidings Forum ,
This is my first post. And of course I am asking for help. I thank anyone that takes the time to read this and assist me in advance.
Phone: Verizon Samsung Galaxy S5 (V) on Lineage OS 14.1 updated to latest update before 15.1. Rooted and using Magisk
Problem Explanation: Streaming Netflix to android auto using AA mirror side loaded app does not produce video. All other applications produce video (vlc player , youtube). Netflix will log into the menu and display everything up until the the the playing of the movie. at which point the movie will not play but it will show all the buttons like fast forward and will play audio and show the line for how long the movie is ect. But no picture. Netflix does work perfectly fine on my phone when not using mirror app.
Possible Reason this is happening: I did some research and found out Netflix uses HDCP which may be causing me this issue. I saw in one forum that some users have HDCP checking in developer options. But following this XDA link I was unable to obtain this setting https://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/general/root-bypass-hdcp-mirroring-easy-t3616836 . It could be caused by something else but right now from what I have researched this seems like the cause.
Possible resolutions:
1) Maybe there is a netflix version out there before HDCP that still works. I cannot find a changelog anywhere that tells me when they implemented it. I have tried several versions of netflix going back as far as May 2016. If someone knows a date when netflix did not have HDCP if ever that would be helpful to let me know so I can test. (so far unable to find a version of netflix that will work on AA Mirror)
2) Possibly find a way to enable HDCP checking on developer options. (once again if HDCP is actually my issue) which may allow netflix to work without issues.
3) A magisk Mod or APK out there to help me that I am unaware of?
4) I read online alot of times that there are hdmi splitters that bypas HDCP. If this is my only solution I need something that is phone based. I would need an usb micro bypass splitter. My connection to Android Auto is usb to micro usb to my phone so i would need the proper software to accomodate that and a way to power it.
This may not be HDCP but I am thinking these is a way somehow to resolve this. Any help is much appreciated and thanks again!
Hi, did you get a reply? I'm having the same issue...
This forum is a year old but seems no one has given any solution. I'm facing the same problem.
