[Q] Cannot Play video on facebook - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello there,
why i cannot play video on facebook? it shows "Sorry,this video cannot be played"...why this happen? can anyone explain for me?? is it i'm missing some application to addon??
please advise.
thanks in advance.

Well I have same question y some videos don't work

Same for me. I thought the newest version of the Facebook app enabled video playback within the app? When I select a video it gives me the option of opening with DoubleTwist or Streaming Media Player, neither of which work.

Could be down to video format, I get the same with some Youtube videos (normally WMV files)

[Q+R] HTC Connected Media/DLNA

Hi all,
I'm using last Cyanogen ROM on my DHD. I'm really happy with it but it's missing a working DLNA application. I have tried several apps on the market but none seems to work like the HTC one did. Would it be possible to extract HTC Connected Media/DLNA app from HTC ROM and install it on cyanogen? Would it work and how to install it in case someone could extract it?
The only app that seems to work is Twonky Server, a free app downloaded from the market. The only problem with it is that is unable to reproduce .mp4 recorded files with Cyanogen ROM, while it's ok with the .3gp ones recorded with HTC stcok ROM. Could it depend to a kind of incompatibility of Twonky Server or of my Samsung TV, where I use to see my media files?
Best Regards...
I stream videos and music to my DHD using the apps UPnPlay and VPlayer.
The Upnplay app can find your media server and stream, while the Vplayer app is able to play most video files including divx.

Thanx for your reply. But that's not what I was looking for. I found many apps that can share my DHD media contents with my Samsung DLNA TV. But there seems to be problems with .mp4 videos recorded with Cyanogen ROM. Stock ROM allows you to record .3gp files that are smoothly played on my tv via DLNA. But with .mp4 video I only get on my tv the message " unknown file format". So if there's someone who experienced the same situation and can halp me to understand the reasons of this problem, and maybe how to solve it, will be welcome...

[Q] Video playback problem HTC one X

I cannot play any videos from the first day on HTC one X from the stock video player or few others from google play. Other video players like MX Player can play the videos. The video formats are supported by the phone (avi,flv,mp4). Same videos I can play on my Samsung Galaxy S2. I have done factory reset twice but its of no help. My software number is 1.28.720.10. Please help in this matter. The error message is "Sorry this video cannot be played" after the player struggles to play it for 5-7 seconds.

Its not the format, its the codecs.
The videos your trying to play must have been produced using codecs that are not supported.

there is another thread about this somewhere, but i'll answer it again. it's because of the audio or video codecs, and unless HTC updates their stock player, it's never going to work. i don't know what you're trying to watch, but if it's tv shows and blu-rays in hd then that is why. i don't know about video codecs, but i don't imagine that the One X does "DTS-HD MA 5.1", 7.1, or any heavy stuff like that.

Sorry but can you be more specific.. the same videos can be played in Galaxy S2. It is not playing any of 30 videos I have. Any way to solve this codec problem.
I've also had issues with players like MX player with some of the more recent HD mkv audio codecs.
However BS Player plays them all fine and perfect, install it (have adfree) and enjoy your media

Can you please tell the codec types supported by HOX. I read somewhere it supports H.264 codec and tried converting with total video converter but still the problem persists..

Would be better if you just listed a few mediainfo's of the vids you have.

"can't play this video"

I am having problems playing videos. I tried MX Player ES Player and the standard Samsung / Google one.
YouTube, XMBC work.
TV Portal, 1Channel (stand alone apps) do not work.
I just did a clean flash of Wampasaurus to fix the problem, but it is still there.
My best guess is an update of some app is causing the glitch.
I also want to learn how to diagnose errors myself.
Have you tried dice player? I have some videos which not works on MX player but I can play same on dice player , & also there might be problem in videos also. Please double check same in PC along with extensions & formats of videos.

The thing is, it was working a few days ago. So downloading another player is just a bandaid, if it even works.
I will download it if it helps diagnose the problem.
is it the same video file that worked before? is it any and all videos?
if it's a different file you might be having an issue with the file format. for example most video players won't play .mkv files vplayer can. a different video player might help you if this is the problem.
if it's the same video file that worked before I have no idea

Streaming videos via TV Portal stopped working. Now I can't play music files, MP3.
[EDIT] MP3s are working again. I changed nothing. I did try other players already on my phone and they all worked. I don't know why. [EDIT]
I can play my own SGN3 videos and downloaded avi / flv files.
I may have to remove all my apps and do a function check. If it works, function check after every reinstall.
I use QQplayer to play all my videos. Works perfectly. (It's free in the play store).
As for mp3 files, Rocket Music Player. (Free and paid versions both work great).
Good luck.
