Problem playing videos on Froyo that previously played on 2.1 - Droid Incredible General

I have some mkv's, 3gp's and mp4's that previously played with no problems on 2.1, using meridian, the default player, and act1.
Im currently using Skyraider 2.5 Vanilla. Any idea what might of changed?
Only a few videos play, and play fine when they do. The rest usually give a "This video cannot be played".

Default Media Player Plays Divx/xvid 7 Mp4's For Me!

I read everywhere that people are using rockplayer to play various video formats such as xvid & divx.
I also thought I would need the rockplayer to play my videos...
While I did try rock player, most of my videos were lagg/choppy and most videos were well out of sync, many files didn't even play and this resulted in a crash/freeze...
Not long ago, I was browsing through my media and saw my videos as well as the preview!
I tried them all with the default player on the dell streak and it played ALL videos smoothly, clear & in sync...
If the default player plays almost everything, why are people moaning about software needed to play video's?
The default player does not play AVI FILES that' why we need Rock player

Ahh, I see, so the default player plays most formats but does not play .avi?
That's fine as most of my videos are xvid...
Also, why does every single video I have lag and the audio is out of sync with rockplayer or even yxflash player?
That's why I use the built in player for the time being until Android 2.2 is out as it should fix & improve the functionality of the phone as well as make it even faster/smoother and if were lucky, improve battery life!

avi is a container which can be used for the xvid/divx codecs amongst others.

2 topics: Sirius Radio & streaming mp4 videos

1) Anyone know if Sirius has addressed when the 2.2 ready app will be ready?
2) The mp4 videos that are recorded from my Windows Media Center tv tuner on my computer all seem to be jittery and audio syncing problems when playing off EVO sd card. I have tried the stock video app, rockplayer, doubletwist, mixzing, and arcMedia; and they all are glitchy, audio problems. Is it simply that the files are too big? I dont know if it is a 2.2 problem b/c never tried playing them on 2.1.
try converting them with handbrake, the evo isn't as powerful as you think

Default media player won't stream large files?

Hi guys,
I'm having some problems trying to play the website iphone anime. It streams just fine on the iphone and the encoding is mp4, so that should be ok. I can only download the files and then play it, I cannot stream it. I've been trying to change the default player but I can't seem top do so. Any our ideas?
Just tried with Meridian and get the error message about "streaming to this device", might be a 1.6 issue.
can somebody test this in 2.1

If you have trouble streaming .mp4 files it may be becasue you have uninstalled mediascape. I found that i couldnt stream .mp4 any more after i uninstalled mediascape & MediaPluginManager.apk, one quick reinstallation using adb later and its all working again.
i never touched mediascape so it isnt that. Try websites like this... http://iphoneanime.net, http://mediamp4.com ,http://iphonehentai.com/ and play any of those listed movies. They are all in mp4 format (great sites by the way for movie buffs who love to watch streaming videos)
I never was able to get them working while i was on 1.6 and after 2.1 the default player still says unable to load file. I then tried Vplayer (awesome, get it from the market) and now i am able to stream 50% of the movies on these websites. I think it has to do with the native streaming support of the base player. it just isnt any good......

Video no longer plays on 10.1 tab

For some reason, I can no longer play videos on my Galaxy 10.1 tab. What the heck is going on? They played beautifully before ICS, now they play with sound only.
I was using Dice Player with the plug-in, and they worked fine before. But now they won't work. So I deleted them, and downloaded them again, but they still won't work. So I uninstalled them again, and installed the Mobo player. Same thing -- audio, but no picture.
Is anybody else having this problem? I can't believe it's only my tab. Anybody have a solution? Thanks.

I had exactly the same problem after the update to ICS 4.0.4 the problems started.... this is because developers NO LONGER support the ADOBE Flash Player..!!!
Seems both have had issues, so Adobe stopped Supporting and updating and Google or Samsung or both have disabled its functions in the Update ICS 4.0.4...!!
Solution is to find a working / supporting Video Downloader which gives you the choice to View and Downliad Videos..!!
I am now using "Firefox with Video Downloader and the MXPlayer" works well..!!!!!
Just have to test and choose whichever combination works for you.!
Hope this answers your Q's

I guess I should clarify my original post. I have absolutely no problem playing web-based videos. I have no problems with Youtube, and videos play when I visit websites with flash video. My web-based videos play fine whether I'm using Firefox or the stock Android browser.
On the other hand, I am having problems with my personal video files (MP4, MKV, etc.) that I import into my tab. Prior to the ICS update, the videos played fine using Dice player. And even for a couple of weeks after the ICS update, the videos played, although choppy. After consulting with a Samsung tech person, he advised me to do a hard reset of my tab. That seemed to fix things.
But now, my videos play with audio only, no video. I have installed and reinstalled Dice Player, and Mobo Player, but neither work. This is really bumming me out because watching videos is one of my primary uses for the Galaxy Tab.

OK, I've tried everything, and just now (reluctantly) did a hard reset of my tab. No change; I still can't play most of my video files. All I get is sound, no video.
Does anybody have any idea why my video capability suddenly stopped working? I have checked every setting I could find; I have installed and reinstalled video players; and have even tried recoding some of my videos. They are coded at mp4 with H.264. A week ago, they played flawlessly in my Dice player.
Anybody have any suggestions?
