[Q] Problem with mp4 files on FroYo - Desire General

Hello,
I have quite serious problem after OTA. I can't play movies from facebook mobile web page (m.facebook.com). On 2.1 that was working fine. Now video player writes "can't play video". I tried to open video also withe Opera mini. Opera can't play it, but game me option to download it as MP4. After downloading it and try to play, she same issue - "can't play video". I tried on few videos, but the same result. I have unrooted Desire with no branding, EU.
Please excuse me my english.

I have that problem too - sometimes... but after restart it works again. However I have a constant problem with the videoplayer zooming too much - ex if on the real video there is three people, then after Froyo the same video zooms too much and you can only see the one in the middle...??? Is there a place to change the resolution for playback ( 4:3, 16:9, zoom like on a regular tv or is there a better videoplayer than the standard one?)

Problem with playing .mp4 and .mkv video files

Okay, I am back.. With another problem and in a hope to get this resolved here
I have HTC TP2 as per the ROM details in my signature..
I am having problem to play .mp4 and .mkv video files on my mobile which is a bit weird..
I have a video song which is in .mp4 format and is 16MB in size..
** This song plays fine when I click on it..
But, I have another video file which is a movie and is 700MB in size. This is a mp4 file as well.. However when I play it, I can just hear the sound.. There is no video.. Infact, on the screen, it just shows the loading symbol as if it will load the video, but does not do so..
Third problem.. I tried using the TCPMP player that comes default with the Energy ROM, and tried to play .mp4 and .mkv files using that player.
However, in both cases, the player just plays the sound, but the video is garbage video.. I mean it shows weird blue lines as if the video quality is too bad..
Please help..
Man, I have the exact same problem. I just upgraded my T-Mobile version from 6.1 to 6.5 stock and now I can't play my movies anymore. Just sound and a blank screen with loading logo on the screen. They used to play just fine in 6.1, but now, nothing but sound.
Also, I've never gotten TCPM Core Player to work correctly on my phone after trying for months. I just gave up. Same blue streaky lines and sound. Uninstalled it. But I'm really concerned about the default HTC Album programs not playing my movies.
Update: I just got my video back, but only after letting it play for about 3 or 4 mins. I even tried it disabling Sense, but it's the same with the default Windows home screen. Something is definitely wrong.
Okay I managed to fix the problem partially by installing TCPMP player again on my mobile..
I downloaded the TCPMP cab available at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=634951
Now, the video is clear and both .mp4 and .mkv file can be played in my mobile.
BUT, the video now lags behind the sound everytime.. As if the video is played in slow motion, while the sound goes fine with the normal speed.. Hence, video lags behind the sound..
Please help.
Try different video settings on TCPMP.
Under Options>Video, I have GDI selected.
Also under Options>Settings>Select Page>Advanced, I have checked "Override AVI fram rate based on audio".

Use benchmark if available and check to see if your device is fast enough. Some need faster processor to play properly. Had to overclock to play some HQ vids using TP2.

[Q] No online video streaming on Cyanogenmod7 for HTC Wildfire.

Im having a problem with watching any video content on the web after moving from stock 2.2 to Cyanogenmod 7.0.3 and 7.1.0 RC1.
This is not a problem of flash video as the videos I am trying to watch do not require Abobe flash player. For example the website I would most want to use is m.tvcatchup.com (the non-flash version of tvcatchup.com).
So say I am trying to view m.tvcatchup on the stock browser, login no problem, select channel no problem, select quality (which starts the stream) problem. After choosing the quality I am sent to web page not available. Now using the dolphin HD I get to the same point but after choosing quality I get this message from the browser "No application can preform this action"rather than being sent to web page not available.
Now that would suggest that the video player coming with CM7 cannot play video from outside the app eg. fro the web. Any replacement apps that defiantly can play video content from the web?
Just to confirm i could do this on HTC Sense on 2.2 the problem arose as soon as i moved to cm 7.0.3 and the problem is still there after moving to cm 7.1.0 RC1.
*RESOLVED* As presumed the stock video player seems not to support streaming, after tryng a few video apps i found many that didn't hep but eventually found that "mVideoPlayer" was my saviour.

YouTube - Laggy performance in HD

Anyone else noticing this? I caught a few threads in the Xperia forums stating the same thing. I had no problems viewing HD content on my Legend, yet the screen resolution was smaller. Perhaps it's something to do with the new 720x1280 displays?
Confirm. It looks choppy for a sec, then it skips frames and jumps ahead to compensate, then it starts choppy again, repeat. Regardless full screen or not - looks like not because of 1280x720
Stream is fast and buffer is full, not network issue.
Not seeing it... have a link of a video that doesn't work for you all?
I don't have a link, but lookup FPSRussia and watch his SA-80 video. That should give you an idea.
Edit: Gave it a go in Dolphin HD and the video plays without any form of stutter. Must be a crappy version of YouTube for these phones.
Happening for me sometimes. I can use the desktop version of YouTube and everything runs fine. Even if I watch a movie I recorded at 1080p and play it back in the video player, it's sometimes choppy.

I can't get YouTube to play HD, it seems to only play 480p.
not trying to revive a dead topic , but i have the same issue on Bell lg optimus LTE , i have tried deleting youtube and resinstall from the market. everything works fine 1080p etc on mx video player . maybe the youtube player has not been optimized for P930 ? if anyone has a solution to this, please reply !
Most likely it's just Youtube being broken or not optimized for the HD screen on this phone. I also have the same issue, and I even tried Screen Optimization. I feel that works a bit, but very little bit hehe.
I went ahead and uninstalled the update from the Android Market in Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > Downloaded > Youtube. It went back to version 2.1.6 from 2.3.4 so I restarted the phone and gave it a go. It seems to perform a hell of a lot better, still not perfect but at least it doesn't drive me crazy.
Give it a go and see for yourself, you could always update it again on the market.

I'll stick with Dolphin HD for viewing the YouTube content, seeing that i use Dolphin for viewing websites other than YouTube.

Video stuttering

Hello everyone. At first I have to say that english isn't my first language so please be understanding.
I've just bought new Note 3 and was pleased with it, until I've found that something is wrong with playing videos. When I try to watch some videos(for example anime) online, it is stuttering. Audio is ok but video lags like hell. Lets take videos from www*auby*no/files/video_tests/ (sorry I had to change "." with "*" because I was unable to post link to another site )as an examples.First I tried playing them online using official player and MX Player(using hardware decoding and software decoding). Then I downloaded them and tried playing again. While playing online using official player, every movie except Shrinkage and Shrinkage 2 was choppy. Playing them with use of MX Player with H/W resulted int the same thing(video lags), but when I changed to S/W everything run smoothly(except first two movies). Next I downloaded them and again tried to play them with official player, and guess what? Everything was ok. The same was with MX Player with H/W and of course S/W.
I also tried to play movies online with worse resolution (480p) and they were ok but other videos with 720p were stuttering. I also tried to play video in 720p using mobile-friendly online player and had lags, but when I played THE SAME video using not mobile-friendly online player(with usage of Flash Player) it was ok...
So dear friends I don't know what to do so I am counting on your help, because I really want to be able to watch movies online on this badass screen.
Try DicePlayer. Still one of the best players IMO, and one of the few that can play videos directly off of Windows network shares (though I use ES File Explorer to browse and Dice to play)
No stutter here playing even 10+Mbps 1080p h264 over wireless from samba shares on my NAS. (Haven't tried 20Mbps yet)
Well, I've tried this DicePlayer and it is really nice but only with playing videos where I can choose which player to use. If I, for example want to watch a movie on dailymotion I can't choose if I want to use MxPlayer or DicePlayer or something else. I have to watch it using dailymotion player (right?) and using these kind of players make videos stutter. That's my problem.
Note 3 has a problem. Verizon and ATT versions also show stuttering when streaming video. I have it in YouTube and other videos that streamed from a website.
We shouldn't have to use third party players, especially when it's not even an option (can't choose one) or in the case of youtube it's an app. This is nonsense. Samsung needs to address this issue. How can we contact them? I've been trying to figure that out.

I never said it was every handset. But I've seen complaints regarding this issue on t mobile, verizon, att and the international version. I haven't checked others.
Try any hd video. They show it the most. But if you don't have the issue I don't expect you to see symptoms.
Try another browser with java support like maxthon
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
Ok. I've noticed another thing. Stuttering happens only with films in HD. For example I've played some film from vimeo in (probably) 480p and it was fine, but after playing it in 720p lags occurred. Also I've tried maxthon but it didn't help.
So, to sum up everything for now, stuttering occurs when I try to play HD films online, where I can't choose players like DicePlayer or MxPlayer and have to use "built-in" online players (for example on Dailymotion or Vimeo) and also when I try to play films online (which I can play using players on my note) using official player or MxPlayer with H/W or H/W+.
I talked to Samsung via Chat and the guy said he's never heard of this issue. I find that amazing since I've seen the complaints all versions of the Note 3.
We shouldn't have to watch videos in 480p and we shouldn't have to switch browsers. All this does is try to avoid running into a problem that shouldn't be there to begin with.
It's a high end device with a low end problem. Something is wrong. I suggest you all that are having issues to tell Samsung about it. Call or chat or do some type of communication.
I've talked with someone from samsung via live chat and he said that if phone doesn't have problem with playing films on sd card it isn't problem with phone itself. He also said that he will pass it to proper department. Also doesn't this problem seem like this one? Maybe it's not problem with note 3 but with JB 4.3?
Yeah you're right, can't stream some HD videos, especially on vimeo. Youtube is fine for me on full hd. Anything downloaded plays perfectly though.
I've had this issue on two different T-Mobile notes. HD videos in any browser for me stutter. I'm hoping its software related and can get patched soon.

I hope that it will come out soon if it's software related, because if it was hardware related I would have to change it and it restrains me for now from rooting it.
