Video playback error? - XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there. I installed the TF3D as a panel which has fixed the crashing problem. Also installed some HD Touch addons like volume bar, keyboard. Everything works fine until i created a video using the X1 camera. Tried to play it back and windows media player says it cannot play the file, and that it maybe currupted. The preinstalled videos like the 007 trailor (mines a UK voda X1) doesn't work also.
Resetted everything, the videos started to work again. Installed TF3D and other addons, and again videos don't work. Anyone else have this problem? Avi files work fine, just 3gp and mp4 ones don't? Incidentally, my omnia had the same problem when i installed TF2D manilla. Any help grately appreciated.

Gonna try the patch zenkinz thanks for the reply will let you know how It works out.

Did try it and it does not work for me.
I did some extensive searching on the forum but the only thing that seems to be the solution is a hard reset.
"you need to have clean X1i w/o previous installation of Youtube to work."
I'm guessing this also goes for "repairing" the MP4/3G Playback?

Can't play 3gp and MP4 videos anymore using Windows Media on my Xperia WM6. It had been working fine for months but yesterday it just stopped playing these files. WMV works fine and so does the 3gp and MP4 videos if played on any other player. There must be a solution other than a hard reset!!! Is there a way to reinstall Windows media or perhaps someone can send me the exe and any other files that make windows media work on WM6.
Thanks

It seems like a ROM issue to me, but pasha's situation seems to beg to differ. Any programs you install recently?

No... none ... although i do test a lot of different applications and games. But i don't recall installing anything in particular during the time this problem appeared. I did change the image files in the Sony Ericsson Xperia panel but i dont think it should effect WMP. Interestingly i noticed that i am able to play MP4 and 3gp files using WMP if they are in the WMP videos library list. However can't play them if i select them directly from any file explorer.

utak3r can you help? WMP stuttering

I have upgraded to WM6 (C_ShekharAKU7.0b.R40.P24_public) from 2003, and I’m blown away. The main reason I use my XDA (Himalaya) is for watching movies as I travel a lot. My movies are converted to a WMV file.
The problem I have is that when playing the movie, the video stutters and the audio plays a few seconds’ ahead i.e. sync probs. Any ideas? I don’t want to go back to 2003.
Thanks
Hi there,
I can't help with the problem but I can confirm that I have the identical problem
*Upgraded from 2003SE
*Movies are converted to WMV
*Video stutters and audio is a few seconds ahead.
I've done a few tests to try determine what the issue might be but no luck.
*Tried testing testing at many different audio and video rates down to the lowest possible rates (60kbps and so on)
*Tried closing all other programs that were open using task manager
*Tried moving the file from my SD card onto the Himalaya (suspecting the SD was not able to be read fast enough). This WORKED for the first replay, but went back to its normal stuttering directly after.
I've been trying to recreate that ONE time when it worked, but with no luck.
I can confirm that between the working time and non-working time, I didn't install anything, and I doubt I changed any settings, though can't be sure.
Anyway, maybe you can try a few of the things that I did. In your case, it may work.
Use TCPMP to play all your movie file.
If there are problems, convert your file to any format rather than WMV. ex, MP4.
I use TCPMP to play a whole movie.
If your movie file is a DVD, convert it using Nero Recode...
Hope this helps!
As for playing movies... TCPMP and all is done You can download plugins for quite a number of various movie formats
And as for recoding... I recommend PocketPC DivX Encoder, aided with MediaCoder.
Check
Guys
I also had this problem where the whole device's sound was stuttering. Even when the phone rings.
I could not use media player because of this.
I reflashed my ROM and did not install the WM6 sound fix............
Since then i did not have this problem again.
My sound is perfect!! Try it out!!
Cheers
installed TCPMP all fine. Best version ever.
GB Softweak
HI guys
I have located this problem.
I tried to install GB softweak...for the gprs disconnection. After i enabled it, my device's sound started stuttering.
It was exactly what it did when i first posted this problem.
I uninstalled GB softweak...................the sound is back to normal, and no stuttering.
Hope it helps!

Dissableing Real Player

I've been searching and reading for about two hours, and have been able to find a solution for this, please help.
Every time I click youtube (Yes, another youtube-related post, sry) Real Player starts automatically. I have already installed the latest versions of FlashVideoBundle and tcpmp, I have also checked the File Assosiation in TCPMP and I have not been able to get youtube to work without the need of vtap. I'm running both Opera (Mobile and Mini) and PIE.
realplayer.exe is written in the ROM so it cannot be deleted, and I don't know much about RegEdit.
Please help.
Thanks again! =)
Wierd... I re-installed htc streaming player and now TCPMP loads as the default player when I click on Youtube Videos (Desktop YT only, not M.) so its working now...
Any thoughs?
Thanks anyways =)

I am having a similar problem. I installed Opera. when i go to YouTube using IE dont have a problem watching video TCPMP launchs and everything is great... but when i go to youtube using Opera i am rerouted to myoutube.com, when i click on the video, Streaming Media launchs and it just hangs there. Is there a reason why it doesnt work with opera. Thanks, and again sorry because i am pretty new at this. I am also running Dutty's WM6.1 and i have assossiated TCPMP with the 3gp files. any idea why Streaming Media is still launching. I have installed the files above and am still having the same problem.

Problem in streaming media on you tube
hi every1. can any1 sort out my problem. actualy i have streaming media software in my XDA and it was working alrite but after installing real player it stopped working with youtube.com. i have even uninstalled real player and deleted its aplication backup but still having problem. when i click any video on youtube.com it doesnt respond a bit. i will wait for any expert response. thanx
Youtube = TCPMP + FlashVideoBundle
Mobile Youtube = Streaming Media (Which is Real Player with HTC's wrapper)
For Mobile Youtube via HTCSMP you need to change your connection settings in the app. to MediaNet for AT&T or whatever you browse the net with.
Thanks GSLEON3,
However here is where i stand. If i go to Youtube.com everything is fine. however when i got to m,youtube.com and go to launch a clip. all that happens is that streaming Media Launches and hangs. This happens wheather i am connect via wifi or 3G.
If i go to Streaming Media ->menu->options->network
No matter how many times i change it to media net, everytime i go back, it says "The Internet"
Under Settings->Connections->Manage existing connections->Proxy Settings
The Box that says "This network uses a proxy server to connect to the internet" is NOT checked.
Under Settings->Connections->advanced->Select Network, both say Media Net
Under Settings->HSDPA, The Turn on HSDPA box is NOT checked.(not really sure what that is for)
I have no idea why i cant get the m.youtube.com vids to play ... any idea ?
Thanks

from what Ive read, youtube videos wont play with Opera Mini because that browser doesn't support flash videos as yet.
its is not opera mini, its mobile, and the problem also happens in IE. Flash is installed and works well
I think what i need is a copy of Streaming Media 3, I think reinstalling it will fix my problem. However i need something other that the IMAX 5?
m.youtube.com will not work with Dutty's WM6.1 rom
Hello,
I agree with my fellow posters, their is a huge difference between the full youtube website and the mobile youtube website. I think something is wrong with the HTC streaming player in the Dutty's WM6.1. Rom.
After clicking the thumbnail i get the message, you are about to go online. And then it starts "Streaming Media" with an endless "Connecting" message.
Had someone any luck with Dutty's rom to get m.youtube.com running?
Regards Tom

same problem here. I'm using Streaming Media 3.00 (build 1001.711). Still looking for a solution.
Hey,
I just managed to solve my problem. I downloaded the HTC Streaming Media CAB file and installed it, overwriting the installation with the Dutty 6.1 rom. Now it works perfectly fine for me.
Ciao,

You might want to follow my articles, they're cross-posted to the General forum so you don't even need to go to another forum / page. In some of them, I've pretty thoroghly explained why this happens: the RTSP protocol doesn't work in a firewalled environment.
Solution: go for a non-RTSP-based solution like CorePlayer, the TCPMP-based plug-in and other playback solutions etc.

Note that, if you are firewalled, it won't work, regardless of the ROM versuion.

Core Player 1.2.5 youtube issues

Hey I've recently started getting error messages when I try to play youtube clips from the built-in player. I get an error message saying that the file type is unrecognized and it started happening when I started to really enjoy this function. Im running stock 6.1 ATT rom and have no other programs open while using core player. any help would be appreciated.
p.s
Im not a complete noob, I've already tried a soft reset and looking through the pefences to see if anything had changed.
same here. and it was working just fine a few days ago...
I have been using it, but since yesterday I have the same problem.
To overcome it; open m.youtube.com on your IE, search for the video you want to watch, double click it from there and it opens & plays correctly with the coreplayer!
Explanation, no idea!
Same problem here, but only when I select the H264 or FLV file formats for Youtube. When I use the RTSP format it works fine, but the quality is total crap. Any ideas??? I would like to use the FLV format because it looks much better.
Has Youtube changed its file or streaming formats???
Ahhh, thanks. When I set it to RTSP it works.
Bump for anyone else who knows why I cannot play FLV or H264 youtube videos in coreplayer since the last week or so...
Bump...anyone know? want to use this program to play FLV videos

Coreplayer YouTube not working?

YouTube works fine in Opera and the Streaming Manager app but in Coreplayer Mobile it just constantly brings up the loading symbol when selecting a video.
Anyone else have this or know a fix? I am on Jacks 1.3 Lite ROM with the YouTube registry fix installed.
That's strange. Youtube works for me in Coreplayer. I am also using Jack's Lite Rom 1.03. I did not try if it works in Opera though.

It is ticked already
I can't get Youtube to work in Streaming Media
Have you tried ticking flv box in the file extensions/
I got an email from CorePlayer makers saying there is a bug and they are fixing it in the next release
I have come across a problem with Coreplayer and its YouTube, so I have decided to use this thread instead of starting my own using the same title.
Coreplayer plays YouTube movies. No problem with that, even more it plays them in excelent quality (setting h264 medium quality, flv high bandwidth). But for some reason it cannot stop them. When the video is over the loading sign (rotating circle) appears and the screen freezes. After a couple of seconds I hear audio as if the video started to play all over again, but the screen is still frozen on that last frame. When I press any button the audio stops as well and that is that. There is no other solution than removing the battery, which annoys me greatly.
Does any of you have the same problem and have you been able to solve it? Coreplayer plays youtube with the highest quality by farand would really like to see it work properly.
Anybody else with this wierd Youtube problem?
Except that it freezes my phone like, every 5 minutes, it works fine i guess.
Too bad I have to reset my phone every time, because if i wouldnt had to, it would be a good piece of software.
Using Coreplayer 1.3 btw.
Well I am pretty disapointed as well. The video playback of original divx files is jerky and if I have to encode I might as well encode to a file media panel recognises. And now the youtube thing. There are still podcasts, I hope I will not come across a problem there.
huh?
i dont get it... my coreplayer plays youtube great, and divx great... i did have the youtube option dissapear mysteriously, but i re-enabled it in the network setting and its worked great ever since...
ive watched 2 movies in divx - one was a fast paced action movie and it played absolutely perfectly the whole time. maybe you need to have certain settings ticked, or maybe the fact that ive used the various tweaks in this forum to speed up my sd card, and to optimize my cache settings and such is helping...
more info may help resolve this...unfortunately i dont know much technical jargon.. i fiddle until things work.
I got my core working again with an update, but the standalone youtube player and panel is MUCH easier and better to use.
Hi, i work with an HTC Touch Pro 2 and on it with the newest CorePlayer. But i can not watch any Youtube Videos. I can search, and browse the different categories. But when i want to start a video the player gets back to the starting screen.
The "normal" video playback works fine.
Why? Anybody else with this problem?
PS: I have activated the network settings.
Youtube has made a change to how their protocol works. CoreCodec knows about the isue and they said they have alreay fixed it on an internal build. Sadly we will probably have to wait a very long time for the fix to be released.
here, some videos work, some others not, like the 70% of them, just try to open but stop downloading without image
Anybody else getting this problem again?Youtube videos stopped playing for me since tuesday,i'm running coreplayer 1.3.6 windows mobile.
Yes same her, my CorePlayer 1.3.6 stopped playing Youtube end of July.
Is there any update out there?
Yep, doesn't work...lame
