So I tried playing a movie on play movies, and get great sound, and no picture whatsoever. Anyone else having the same issue? All other video as seen to be playing fine. Google play movies is the only issue.
Edit: So I tried to play my purchases movies through YouTube and same issue there. Sound but no video. All other videos play fine on YouTube. Could it be a drm issue?
Edit 2: Same issue with movies anywhere.
Edit 3: figured it out. Night mode was causing the issue. Once turned off everything plays fine.
I had a similar issue. There was a 4:3 black block to the left off center. Couldn't figure it out, almost took it back!! Thanks

I did some searching, but all the posts appear to be older, and are discussing downloaded players. At work, we all have Droid Xs. My boss, recently reset his, and was working on downloading some video players. We download a lot of xvid files, and he wanted to be able to play them. Well, it appears one of his downloads has updated the built-in player to play xvid. The reason I think this is because after he dumped about 20 videos on there for transport, most...about 16 of them, had thumbnails in the gallery. I tried playing one, and loads directly up, and even has the little HDMI icon in the top corner. I went through the players he downloaded, and none of those appear to have the HDMI option. I've been trying to figure this out so that I can replicate it.
Has anyone else done this? I don't have the phone in front of me, but I know he got arcmedia and youplayer. I'm not sure what else, but I figure you guys may have some ideas.
I guess I've stumped the minds here. Thanks for looking.
UPDATE:
I just checked my phone, and now I'm able to playback one of the files. The strange part is that after seeing it happen on his phone, I copied the same file to mine, and couldn't play it. Gave the usual unsupported error. But today, I look at my phone, and there's a thumbnail of the video in the gallery. I click on it, and it starts playing, with the little HDMI option in the corner. WTF is going on here? I still have one file that won't play that I put on there. Does the built-in player support Xvid with certain options enabled/disabled?
So I've been a customer of Zediva for a while and thought to try it out with the Droid charge to see if they would play with out that stupid filter blocking the movie. It worked! Well sort of. You can watch it, but the quality is very poor. So poor you can't watch it. Now the phone plays great with home movies taken with the cam on the phone, and even the videos. Looking at the web is great, but for some reason the quality of the movie doesn't stay the same for the movie. Has anyone else tried this and is there a setting that you have to make to watch it?

For AVIs and MKVs, I've always used BSplayer without problems. I've put my first videos on the Nexus 5 today, and AVI and an MKV, and they play perfectly fine, except without video.
I got the impression this is a problem with my Nexus 5, but so I naturally cleared the BSplayer's app data and cache and uninstalled, rebooted the device, and reinstalled just to rule out a bad install as the problem. Sure enough, no video again.
So I go through the ritual of clearing, uninstalling, and rebooting, and tried to grab a different media player from the store to rule out media players as the problem, but this time I don't have the Play Store! WTF? I just reset my device and I'll keep you guys posted, but is anyone else having or hearing about these problems? Particularly the lack of video playback, because I can just side load the Play Store if I don't feel like resetting the device.
After resetting device, still no video playback in BSplayer, even after switching decoding modes. MXplayer is able to play the MKV file perfectly, but crashes with the AVI...
I am having same issue. BS Player is my go to. I don't have video when streaming along w local files.

Hello, my shield seems to play any embedded videos in apps (Instagram, Snapchat, and others) sped up at least 2x. Anybody else experience this or have a solution for this problem? This does not happen for YouTube or Daily motion or videos stored on the tablet itself.

Yes, this happens to me too =[. Also to add, When playing web content thru MX Player, it speeds it up also.
I have the same problem in new Photos application. Very annoying, haven't found any workaround.
When trying to play any video on google play videos, I keep receiving an error fetch 1. I tried all the basic troubleshoot cleared cache, reinstalled updates and even did a factor wipe. Nothing helped. I also confirmed that the videos can play on other android devices I have.
I can play these videos through youtube though.
I am stock and not rooted.
Wondering if anyone else is seeing this?
I will attach the error I am getting.
Bump
I can stream fine and dl and play okay
