Can't play videos? - HD2 General

For first time I recorded a small clip with my leo's camera and surprisingly I was not able to play it in any way!

what happens when you attempt to play? Please provide more information

If I try to play it through the album tab the result is nothing, nothing happens.
If I try to open it using Media player it returns a message: "the source filter for this file could not be loaded"

which ROM are you on? Stock?

Yes, T mobile UK 1.43

i have the same issue on my tmobile hd2

This could be a clue... Maybe is it a major bug of this branded roms?? mah!

youtube?
I had the same problem with t-mobile 1.43. This was because I installed the youtube app. Removing youtube let the video work fine.
So I put on a different ROM.

Oh yes you are right, did work for me your trick... but now I do not have any you tube player... Do you know one that does his work without interfering with camera or any other?
Thanks

Sorry, no. At that point I realised t-mobile really don't know what they're doing and went first to a stock rom then a custom one.

Youtube movies?

Is it possible to get Youtube movies working on the BA (running WM6), and if so, what player do I need?
The TCPMP player gives me a "RTSP protocol not supported" error when trying to look at a Youtube movie :/
hi there!
there is some kind of plugin/addon, which allows you to download youtube movies to your pda....
just search this forum or google for it, here is ONE source!
hope that helps....

I have that tcpmp plugin, and it does work most of the time. I've run into some files on youtube that still give me an unknown media format error. Not sure why.
The Avot Media Viewer that someone posted about here a week or so ago works great though.
http://www.avotmedia.com/
http://m.avotmedia.com/
The Avot is OK but it needs much work to be more than OK.
I use the vTap.

Use the search bar to browse uploaded videos from any embedded video website (like youtube, metacafe etc).
You can also have a feature of searching into wikipedia articles!
Very cool...
After doing a bit more digging, I installed Streaming Media v 2.10 build 518.700 (from High Tech Computer Corp.) on it.
It's working GREAT!

hi everyone!
well, i installed the HTC STREAMING cab, which was included in xplode's cabs. i dont know, what version this actualy is...
anyway, i can playback youtube movies, but the performance sucks big time.... lots of stuttering, not enjoyable at all.... is it just me experiencing this problem?
is the BA oo slow to playback such vids?
or am i doing something wrong here?
thx in advance,
krz
you should check your internet connection too...
me again!
have to add, that i now have the FLASHVIDEOBUNDLE.cab installed, which not only gives me great streaming playback using TCMP Player (make sure u have installed the right version first!), but in addition to that gives me the oppotunity to save the flash videos to your storage right away....
VERY COOL CAB!!! KUDOS 4 THE (true) CREATORS!
btw: that STREAMING thing that came with xplode's cabs still doesnt work... (my internet connection is of course up and running!!)
cheers,krz
okay, after playing around a little bit and after installing/deinstalling/reinstalling HTC STREAMING Software, i am afraid i screwed up flv playback completely...
every time i try to load a youtube site,pocketIE crashes and my device freezes, leaving me with soft reset as only solution!
i tried to play back flvs on the youtube mobile site as well, with no sucess. nothing happens! the vids just dont load....
ARGH!!!!!
keeps crashing and crashing.... (pocketIE keeps loading, the suddenly freezes!)
when trying to play mobile youtube in pocketIE, nothing happens.... (just loads 0kb, then stops...)
can anyone load youtube.com without any problems?
can anyone play back youtube.com movies without problems?
HOW?
sorry for whining around here, but this really makes me go N U T Z

thx for your answer, XDAIIs!
I read thru that post as well and as I wrote, I cannot play back m.youtube.com videos eitehr, it just sttarts loading and stops immediatly at 0KB again, thats it.
what streaming client do you have installed?
the one, that came with xplode's cabs?
or that one: RvBCrS_HTC_Streaming_Media.rar?
the easy and fast way, install my streaming media cab open m.youtube.com and it will stream with the player just fine, tested and working

thx, xplode! i actually did that. first time, i could not start the application, because of some error. i reinstalled the SDKCerts again and after that the error was gone, but no application starting either.... i really tried various times, what am i missing?
well did you installed audio manager also ?, inside the cab there is verinfou.dl which is needed for most of the HTC software, but if you install them both it will work

youtube/windows media problem.

I have a at&t pure and I installed the wvga htc youtube app. The app worked great but the problem is that when I install this app it messes up my media player. I get this message " the source filter for this file could not be loaded". This happens when i try and play video on media player when youtube app is installed. What can I do about this? Im running the pure original from at&t, original rom.
You really don't want to know how many pages with a solution I get when I search on "the source filter for this file could not be loaded" with Google...
Try urself and you will see... Don't open new threads for things you can find by searching...
I have searched and looked through many threads on that message. I tried some cab files that was for the x1 that was having similar problem, no luck. If anyone has tried the htc youtube app on the pure and got it to work, without it stopping windows media player's video playback let me know how. Really like this youtube player but dont want to give up mp4 playback on media player.
I have both working.
You may want to get off the stock ROM and try a custom one with Youtube cooked in.
yeah was thinking i might have to do that. wanted to avoid that though, never did a rom before and I just got the phone. Dont want to screw it up just yet.lol
i have found more threads with other people having this problem but no fix. can anyone help?the htc youtube app is sooo much better than other options would like to have it installed.
Why not try a media player that supports YouTube like Coreplayer?
i have and they all suck compared to the htc app

YOutube vidoes hardly play.

So I have a Hero... and at fist it had bad quality until I found out that the setting could be changed. Now, my problem is that I can only play 1 out of 10 videos I try and play, it sucks... is there anything I can do to fix it and is anyone else having this problem??
yea, alot of videos dont work from the youtube app, even more dont work from youtube via the web browser + going through the browser gives ****ty quality
lets hope htc fix this up in 2.0/2.1 when they release it with the sense ui!

i heard in 2.0 most videos work cause of flash 10?
So I need 2.0?? How do I get it?
Also, is there maybe a differnt app or program that allows me to play youtube videos that isn't the one that comes with the phone? links if any plz.
are you on the stock rom? i'm using modaco's 3.0 and haven't got any problems, either on 3g or wifi.
there might be some media player apps that play streaming videos. on windows mobile, i used to use 'coreplayer' to stream youtube videos, worked well. there's gotta be one or two on android that do this??
btw, where is the setting to change the quality?
android really needs a coreplayer i miss the youtube on that works flawlessly
*EDIT*
maybe i spoke to soon
http://forum.corecodec.com/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=2885
nice!!! android needs this!
yes.. please.. what to do.. to fix this ??
I dont like.. that we have a youtube app.. that is 1/10 working!
any one.. have ideas ??
I think Youtube are using some Flash10 exclusive coding techniques that our beloved Hero can't handle due to the Hero actually don't have a full blown Flash10 support...
This would make sense, except that before I got the hero I had the mytouch and youtube app worked great with little to no problems (I've tried it on both a stock and rooted rom on both hero and mytouch). I'm having a hard time understanding why the hero has problems with it.
I do find that sometime if I go into a task manager and kill youtube and start it again it works for a bit. It seems also that changing the quality of the video causes it to quit working too.
I must be very lucky every single video i tryed to watch worked fine with stock ROM...
Maybe is connection related...or just pure luck
They should work as if I'm not mistake the youtube player links to the mp4 feed, he may need to update his rom to the latest version which plays smoothly.

HTC Video playback prob?

Hi,
Has anyone else had bother with video camera playback on HTC's photo/video icon.
When i capture and try to play back........nothing.
The file plays fine on coreplayer fine.
thats what happens when you install youtube on a t-mobile rom.
only solution i've seen is to flash with a proper rom.
The swines,
I can't get a ROM 1.66 from HTC, they say it's not for my device....
Is there a way round this.
I'm gonna swing for Tmobile.
look in the rom forum for hspl.
Thanks, got it now.
Just hope my bottle does not crash when i put this update on.........

I have similar problem the video is divided in 3 parts and in black and white
i solved it by reinstall you tube app
youtube on PA 5.1
I'm having a similar problem, but it is not limited to youtube. I have tired plex too, and it also fails to play a video.
When I play a video youtube I just get "There was a problem while playing. Touch to retry"
In plex the video fails to play telling me to restart my plex media server and to reboot the phone.
I have rebooted the phone and it makes no difference.
Anybody have any ideas on how to fix that? Everything else seems to work properly on this rom so far, and the stock rom is getting more and more laggy which is why I'm trying different roms.
Anybody have any ideas?
**Update**
For some reason a video would start without video at times. When that happens if I change the quality to something lower than 480p, it actually works.
MX player works perfectly regardless of resolution.
Plex is completely broken, it will not work regardless of what I set the video to, it fails.
