Google Video app crashes with recent 3.1 update? - Eee Pad Transformer General

After the latest update, my Transformer freezes when playing local video files through the Google video player. Some files that played fine before (Mp4 files mainly) crash. Last error was "Activity Video Player (in application Gallery) is not responding.
Factory restore did not fix the issue. Stock, never rooted Transformer.
*Files play fine under Mvideoplayer if anyone else is experiencing this.

Did you get the 8.4.4.11 3.1 update last weekend? It added a new video player that plays my videos perfectly. At the top you have tabs for rentals (Market) or Personal Videos (local disc). Is it your old Google Videos app that is crashing?

Yes, it's the 8.4.4.11 update with the new video rentals option. When I go to my personal videos, my MP4's crash after a few seconds.
The same MP4's worked fine under the gallery app prior to this.

CorePlayer youtube "Unknown file format"

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.

All flash videos in any browser are out of sync

Hi!
I have SGS2 for about a week now. A couple of days after buying it I noticed that all flash videos from any video service like youtube play with audio a little behind video. The lag is about 250 msec, it's constant in any video or browser, doesn't change during video playback and doesn't depend on resolution as well. I tried latest 10.3 from market and rolled back to 10.1, but it doesn't help.
In native youtube app and in mediaplayers the sync is perfect.
Any ideas how to fix it?
Maybe there is a way to completely uninstall flash and reinstall 10.3?
Firmware KG5, no root.

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?

720p Movies Keep Crashing

Just wondering if there's a bug that needs to be fixed. I installed multiple players (Dice, BSPlayer, etc) but they still crash after about two seconds of play. I'm streaming from a nas using MediaHouse Pro and some of the 720p's are mkv. They play fine in the stock players but there is no sound. Any suggestions?

Video streams causing FC in flixter/bbc news

youtube streams videos fine but when trying to play files via BBC/Flixster the app refuses to play the video. do these require adobe flash still or something? or is the default open with trying to default to the frozen apk? currently i have BSplayer installed to handle the requests.
