Mp4s not working in Android - General Questions and Answers

So I recently rooted my bv5900, and when I tried playing a video on the YouTube app, my phone would reboot itself. When I try playing any type of video on chrome it would just show a green screen but with audio from the video. I noticed if I was trying to look at a gif, it would kinda work if I scrolled away from it then went back, but it would go back to a green screen. My phone also reboots when I try opening Mini Metro and Geometry Dash. I used Magisk to root my phone btw. Anyone know how I can fix this?

Download VLC Player.
Look up Shark007 Windows Codecs...It will allow you to play 99.99999% of any video formats around
sorry to resurrect a somewhat dead thread, but did this end up working? I have a video i need to get off and I've run into the same problem...i tried installing shark 007 codecs (win7) but it gave me the same error. i havent restarted yet, but i'll post back if it works after that...

[Q] Cant play Video on my Samsung Galaxy S HELP

I cant play a video i go to youtube and load a movie and every time i get this video has been removed, all the sites i go the same thing plz help me i still get the android 2.1 version is that a problem to ?
No problems here. Watching a movie right now. Is there anything you did to the system lately? And you can't play any and all youtube videos? Videos in the browser won't work until 2.2. But the you tube app should work fine.
good day.
i bought it yesterday and i go to internet youtube press a movie there i see the movie whith the play thing and press play and then he say that it has been replaced every time i press a video strange thing
Have you opened your youtube app? And when you click play on a video in the browser it should open the youtube app. Look in your apps for the youtube app.
good day. From my voodooed Fascinate using the XDA app.
just download youtube app in market or where can i find it ?
i downloaded myoutube but everytime i open a video i get the warning sign unfortunately we most close myoutube :s

Xvid playback using built-in player

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?

[Q] Can anyone play all kinds of music files and video files from their Asus Pad?

Seems like some video/music formats can't be played on this pad.
Anyone know a good program to download that will let you play all formats?
and is everyones facebook widget force closing on them? like mine it keeps force closing.
Transformer only opens mkv, mp4, mp3, ogg as far as I know (I don't have the device). To open other formats you need to download apps - look into the apps thread or to Xoom forum for some direction (or search on market for file types you like to open).
for music use power amp. It works.
Rock player works for video, so thats every format covered?
Popular (for music) are also APE and MPC but searching the market reveals many, many apps that play them (and personally I convert all the ape files I get to flac anyway).
And yes, the facebook widget and the application itself "force closes" almost immediately.
I looked for the friend stream widget that I have on my Desire HD rom, but I guess that is part of HTC apps.

Currently trying to play a 1280x720 -x264- MKV file. Standard player is full of green blocks when trying to run it. Using Rock Player the picture is very clear but it's very jerky like the frame rate is about 5.
Am I doing something wrong? Surely it should play perfect?

No sound in 720p .mkv, how fix?

I transfered some 720p .mkv files to my tablet (external sd) and the video plays fine in both the built in player and in mx player but I don't get any sound. If I play a smaller .avi file it plays fine with sound in both players. Any ideas?
Sorry if it has been posted before.
try using another player like diceplayer. I used to have this problem when playing mini 720p with the stock player, but not with the diceplayer
I'll just leave this here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1686675
Long story short: use software decoding for the audio.
Dice player works fine. Can I somehow watch full screen with out the black row with the three dots in de bottom?
Starting to hate this tablet more and more every day..
If you're rooted, get GMD GestureControl from the Play Store, and install Busybox.
Im noot rooted. Will probably root when a good port of AOKP is out

Why hate this tablet? it's the 3rd best atm!
And it's not the tablet's fault! Your video might have an unsupported audio format, or it may be corrupted.. Try playing the video from your tab on the pc. And can you precise what format is the audio?

New device, new fw, new problems. Most will be fixed by updates. The build.prop tweaks, for instance, made my .17 DE internet browsing _in powersave mode_ totally lag free (!).
You should wait for firmware updates, though. I'm afraid of what will happen if you accidentally brick your device.
Sound in players is accomplished by choosing software decoding of the audio.
