[Q] Can't play any trailers on Movie/Flixster app - Epic 4G General

I have a stock EB13 that has been rooted via oneclickroot cwm 2.5.5 - no roms or kernels except stock, the only that I have done is install the camera/video lag fix
Question, I have and identical setup (same apps, launcher, etc) of my Epic on my Samsung Moment that I keep as a spare. I don't know when it happened, possibly after my froyo upgrade, but I have an app called Movie, and when I open it, it says Flixster.
My Moment with eclair 2.1 and "when" my Epic was on elcair 2.1, they both could play the movie trailers from that app, but now that my Epic has froyo 2.2.1, it cannot play any movie trailers from that app- it simply says it cannot play video, now I was able to have my Epic play one movie trailer right after I flashed the EB13 camera/video lag fix. I thought that was the problem so I flashed it again, but it didn't work. So it's got to be a software glitch, but from what app? Was it the camera/video lag patch. I could always go back I guess to stock kernal with the bad code in it and see. I hope it is not froyo that is the cause.
Can anybody with an Epic with froyo 2.2.1 try and play a movie trailer if they have that app and let me know if it works? - fyi, it is a very nice app if you do not have it.
All other media functions, for that matter everything else works perfect on my Epic.
Thanks!

i have the same exact problem and just deleted my post on this after i saw yours....
i have no idea what to do...i used this app quite a bit as well....
funny how nobody on the Market is complaining about this not working with Froyo....maybe there is an apk that the Syndicate rom excludes, that Flixster is looking for?
not sure

On eb13, have not flashed a replacement kernel for the camera fix. Just watched 2 trailers no problem.
try clearing app data?

I actually did the camera patch fix on my stock kernel, I wonder if that is the cause of it although I saw the code of the patch and can't see how it would have affected it.
Anyways, I can play any movie or trailer on my browser and apps that are like Flixster.
Clearing what app data? - if you mean Flixster itself, that I haven't tried, but I have uninstalled and reinstalled it a few times with the same no play results - you would think uninstalling would in a way erase the app data?
I have been able to make it play a few times out of like 10 tries - but that is not acceptable to me, especially since my phone works perfect in every other way - oh well, at least I have replacement type apps that do the same function. Its just I was so use to Flixster - I used it all the time

Try going to settings -applications- manage apps - Movies - clear data. Then try to view a trailer again.

Slow audio in Flash

Using the most recent leaked 2.2, and going to m.flash.com and playing one of those sites, CNET TV for example, the video plays fine, but the audio lags behind and seems to be playing at 1/4 speed.
Anyone see this or know of a solution?
Yeah I had that issue I switched back to a custom Rom to resolve it. Once there is a few I might try the ota again

Engadget videos start but then freeze

Engadget videos on my Incredible and my friends Evo, both stock seem to play fine for a bit and then the audio continues but the video freezes. I'm using the latest version of flash and I don't have this problem with any other sites that I've come across. Any ideas what can be done to fix this?

Doubletwist and EF02.

Anyone having music issues with EF02? When doubletwist, and even the stock music player switch from the first song to the 2nd, they completely freeze. I've tried reinstalling, but that didn't work, nor does wiping data.

No but I'm having problems with my google music beta not playing my music all a sudden!

Ok, so it seems to be a music issue all around. Time to go back to Froyo, since this is a deal breaker for me. Can't imagine working out without tunes!!

audio seems to lag with EF02. Watching Tube videos and music from games is pretty off.
Back on EC05, and everything is working wonderfully. Like I said, I'll just wait for a custom version of EFxx
I use doubletwist. All good here.

Maybe it was the fact I restored from data from SFR. I could try again, but instead use Titanium/My Backup Root. I even tried fixing permissions, and that didn't work. Oh well, the smoothness and speed of SFR can't be beat.

PowerAMP works fine for me.
That sounds like you SD card. Try partitioning it.

Now that we have 2.2, what are some killer apps I need?

I mean solely for Android 2.2+. I've already gotten Netflix, Crackle (sadly, doesn't work, the sound goes really, really slow) and a few games I got off of Amazon's deal of the day that were 2.2+ only. There's obviously Flash 10.3, too. The other one I got (which I've been trying to get ahold of since I got my phone) is Kongregate Arcade.
Anything you guys know of that's a really good Android 2.2+ app that I'm missing?
If you put up the money get voodoo control plus and get voodoo sound v10... it makes this phone sound awesome via headphones xP

The only other that I know is 2.2+ specific is Google Music. I haven't really used it much though.
Netflix and skype with video chat
Can't really video chat without a FFC

I'm actually working on trying to get the i9000 front facing camera mod to work on our Continuum. I need an i400 I can tear apart and do some fitment testing. I've seen some photos of the i9000 camera and the i500 (Fascinate) camera which I think is the same as the Continuum camera. It might work with a little trimming here and there. Ill post back once I have some results.
This is gonna sound pretty silly but the new Captain America game requires 2.2. I'm not much of a gamer but I actually bought it for $1 in the market and it installed then after the ~150mb download it gave me the error message on my stock Continuum. Took my son to the movie and we loved it, was looking forward to letting him play the game(which was well reviewed). Bah.
So happy to see this 2.2 update stuff. I'm going to have to do my homework now and make a visit to the darkside. I love this phone, will be more than happy to de-bing and de-bloat it!
Speaking of games: Plants vs Zombies and Peggle on the Amazon App store.
Was lucky enough to catch them free, but could not get them to run on Eclair.
+1 for netflix and google-music.
Being able install google search has been very nice as well.
So the Flash works well with this release?
Yes. I just spent the weekend streaming a UFC event on it :3

ha ha wow!
and by the way, i couldnt stop noticing this, kept bugging me, so i had to say something,
"My Motto: If you don't know how to do someone here on XDA, and don't know how to properly look through the threads or do a search, then you don't deserve to be flashing/changing anything (If the answer isn't already out there, that's different [obviously, lol]"
If i dont know how to do someone? lol, dont you mean something?

CM 7 issue

I put up a post about this a while back, but the thread kinda died. I tried out Cyanogenmod 7 recently and as we all know...they only have nightly versions. Nothing stable. When I tried it I liked everything EXCEPT the fact that I couldn't view my old videos. I'm not just talking about old videos taken with my blur camera. I'm talking about REALLY old videos that I took over the years with older phones. Anyway, I wanted to know if there's a fix for this. Please let me know bc I REALLY like the other aspects of CM 7. Thanks!

Haha double pasted this link lol... this is a link to vlc media player alpha, with this installed on my DX I can play all old blur videos and multiple different file types that CM7 wouldn't play, not sure but I bet it'll play your old .3gp files as well. Make sure to follow the instructions on their site to determine if your processor is neon or not, my DX and SGT are both neon, but yours may be different...

Well, I just tried it out on my stock rom before trying cyanogenmod again and vlc player wouldn't play sound on my REALLY old videos. The newer stuff would play though. Ugh....I still need a better solution to this. :-/

You might have to convert your really old 3gp's to a different format... will the stock rom play them with any player?
Sent from my SGT running CM7
There are many other third party players you can try. Rockplayer and mxplayer come to mind. Worth a shot?
Sent from my DROIDX using xda premium
@hoot- yes, the stock player still plays my super old videos.
@runn- I tried mxplayer last time I had CM 7 on my phone and it didn't work. I don't remember if I tried rockplayeror not tho. Maybe it's worth a shot. If I convert my old files what should I convert them to anyway?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
I would convert files to something general like maybe avi or mpg... something that any player will play... if you don't have access to a computer, I think there are apps on the market that allow you to convert files... look around a bit
