I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing what I am w.r.t. videos freezing on the Tab.
I've got a couple of videos ripped from the web (HD - 720p & 1080p) in mp4 format. Sometimes when I watch them either using RockPlayer or the OEM player I get sound but frozen video from some older video that I've played. No matter what video I play, I see the same image, but the sound is from the file which I'm currently trying to watch.
A soft reset seems to sort out the issue. But any ideas as to why this is happening? And what I could do to sort it out (besides rebooting)?
P.S. I notice that when I turn off hardware decoding in RockPlayer the videos play, but obviously due to the fact that they don't have dedicated VPU power they stutter and play in slow-mo. Will try with an SD file and edit this post with my findings. Still...Will be interesting to see if anyone else is experiencing the same shizznit.
I have got the same problem and believe me we are not the only people who has the same problem! its a bug that most the galaxy tab has it! the only solition is soft reset!

Anyone else try the little youtube button in coreplayer? Any video I open says "Unknown file format." Why do they have a youtube player if it cannot play youtube videos?
I'm still looking for the best way to watch youtube videos.
Thanks!
But it can play youtube videos, at least on my phone.
Are you playing them through coreplayer itself? When I browse youtube through opera it opens the videos through the streaming video player, but not coreplayer.
I believe that some of the YouTube formats have stopped working in CorePlayer as YouTube have played about at their end.
Had heard that a fix had be built for UIQ, but haven't got around to looking to see if a new version is out for WinMo

Yes. I haven't watched that many videos (it's not a regular thing for me) but the few I've watched were all played by the coreplayer itself.
OT:
I do have some problems with podcasts. does anybody know of any good podcast client for WM.
Thanks, well I just bought it recently so will have to wait for an update I guess. Also, does anyone else experience freezes in coreplay when changing videos? It doesn't happen everytime for me, but sometimes it freezes and I have to do a reset.

Same lag and stutters overhere. Any solutions out there allready?
Default mediaplayer suddenly stopped working on my TP2, though the quality was way better then the core player's. Too bad it doesn't work no more.
can anyone help with this after paying for core player it wont play anything with out stuttering along
everything used to lag for me in coreplayer, including videos but if i switch the audio settings to higher priority for mp3 files they play without a hitch. now if only i can find out how to do the same for videos
Add me to the list of VERY unsatisfied results with Coreplayer on the TP2... it absolutely SUCKS. BIG TIME. Laggy and crappy... how is a man suppose to watch all those great videos stuttering!
I had the same issue (laggy, ...) a couple of months ago. I sent an email to CorePlayer support and got this answer back :
"Hello,
This is a known issue and we are working with several people on trying to track it down and are hopeful to have it included with the next release. I can offer you a full refund if you would like.
Regards,
CoreCodec Support Group"
They expect to release the new version by the end of this month.
Just have to wait...
Hope it helps.
Are you using DirectShow? If not, try it.
Great on TP2
Coreplayer is running great on my TP2. Watched 2 movies today and the video looked great and frames were solid. Honestly its the best thing i did for my TP2 yet. I dont believe it will handle 800x480 but a little bit lower resolution should still be fine and the video scales very well. Check this review on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uONMuEeTo7A&feature=related
Watch near the end when he shows how Coreplayer runs.
REFUND!!!
So I just sent my refund request for Coreplayer. It has a bug with Tv-Out causing it to show a blue flicker. Also it has no real hardware support yet. The best thing I found was the Touch HD gui encoder program. It puts your videos into formats the built in players can use and those do have hardware support. So while coreplayer is a great app its not for the TP2.
Disable DirectDraw in TCPMP. Use GDI mode.
I am not sure if the following has any effect when DirectDraw is disabled, but this is the way I have it:
Select Options\Settings, then click on "Select page" and select DirectDraw.
You will see three options. Only select the one that says "use blitting instead of overlay"
This worked for me...
is anyone having a video playback problem with HTC video player ???
I have, tried openeing a rather low-res MP4 video, and it wouldn't open it; the screen was black and it only said "loading" or whatever.
I tried 3 or 4 times, and during the last attempt it said something like "fatal error - blah blah - ARM11"
I didn't risk trying openening any videos again
No problems here at all - with mp4 files. Any other format is... disappointing. Except maybe if you install another video player app.
the problem, i am experiencing is the video recorded with the handset can not be played at all. i had to do hard reset couple of times just to have it work again. this happens after i install some applications. i tried uninstalling the apps, but in vain.
really appreciate if anyone can help me out here !!!

If it works after a hard reset, but not after installing some apps, do a hard reset and then try playing a video after each installation. That way you can identify which app is causing the problem.
Sounds like you'll need another hard reset afterwards, but at least you'll know the app that is breaking the video playback, and you can let us all know so that no-one installs it again!
I will bet you its right after you install the youtube app, because it uses similar files (you may notice the video playback uses a UI similar to that in the playback in the YouTube app) Would like to know if this situation can be fixed myself, without having to resort to flashing a rom and losing my warranty

You're spot on dude. I device was playing videos very well until I installed Youtube. Noticed straight away it was that causing the problem. I haven't removed youtube simple because of the fact its a brilliant app! works brilliant with wifi. Such a shame its the only place I can see video footage!
SOME ONE PLEASE FIND A WAY TO FIX IT OTHER THAN UNINSTALLING YOUTUBE!
remove youtube app and still watch youtube on opera
You may find this thread useful in getting opera to work properly when you visit youtube dot com. That way you can get rid of the app and still watch vids from there - you can even cue vids up in a playlist exactly like on a desktop pc.
So i some problems when it comes to viewing my videos i record through the phone. After i record them and go into 3d gallery to play them, they come out very choppy, like its loading and just skips through parts. It really is annoying cause the only way to view my videos is to record them and place them onto computer to properly watch them. Is anyone else having this problem? I switch between CM and MIUI roms. Both cause the same problem, i get the feeling it my be either my sd card or 3d gallery.
Hey i have the same problem. Every time I record a video then play it, it plays all choppy and weird, but if you play that same video twice, the second time will play it smoothly. I still don't know why this is happening, I'm also thinking it has something to do with the memory card. Hopefully somebody can help us out here.
Videos work fine with stock software.
Sent from hell using XDA app
Anyone else with some kind of solution?
Okay so hopefully someone can help me with this, but I have a number of x265 encoded MKV vids on my tab.
I've always used MX Player Pro to play these vids, and on the other three tablets I've owned the videos playback fine. But on my Tab e the videos playback very stuttery and pixelated and I honestly don't know what to do to fix it.
If anyone knows how to fix this problem I would really appreciate it if you would let me know how.
Well thanks a lot for the help...
interesting stuff.
