I have recently rooted my Galaxy y with 8 GB Memory card. Everything seemed to work fine until now. I have downloaded some videos from youtube downloader and Advanced download manager via my phone. However, some videos are not working. Even the mx player treats them like audio files and some disturbing sounds come through them when I play it. Even when I played them at my PC, the videos are not playing at all. What might be the problem ? Is it due to rooting or some defects in applications or any other else..............
The problem doesnot seem to be stopping as the videos that used to be played seemlessly in MX Player are not playing anymore- it is still being played as an audio file with nagging and creepy sound coming through. Help anyone

Probably the videos didn't download properly as they cannot be played properly on both PC and phone
Try a different downloader or download via PC and see
Another possibility is that ....
UR PHONE IS HAUNTED....

They must be .flv format files you downloaded... ??
Rooting is just getting urself some superuser ability to edit the files that are available in the root directory of our phone..
There ain't no way its can affect ur phone or any app...
** rooting is new for me,
nd i am a noob to root....**

I'm a newbie to my Android phone, I am in the Caribbean so I have no access to the market on my phone, i had to trick it to get apps on it at first because it would not see the content of the SD card because i could not download the File Manager.
I noticed I could not play videos so after getting the file manager I decided to download a video player and hoped that would solve the problem, well all it does is play the audio of the movie and my screen remains dark and blank, what am i doing wrong guys? and if its the software that's the problem where can i download a good video player for free that will work?

I'm guessing you're unrooted, correct?
For the videos (which I assume you're playing off the sdcard) did they ever work? If they didn't it's going to be because they're using a codec your phone doesn't support (probably divx, xvid, although I doubt the avi container would show up in many video apps), so you'll need to convert them or find a player that does support them.

Can you record video with your camera/camcorder app and then play them back?
If so then you can play video just fine and it's just a codec issue.
If not then it sounds like an app or rom issue.

Yes Binary you are indeed correct, it was a codec issue, i can indeed play videos my camera records plus i downloaded an mp4 from online after i posted my complaint here and it played just fine on my MT3G, the problem was i converted the movies to play on my phone with "Allok 3GP PSP MP4 iPod Video Converter" but for some reason it seemed to mess up the mp4 format because it wont play on my phone but it plays back fine on my computeri even redid them in 3GP and my phone still didnt play them, I downloaded another converter and the movies are indeed playing just fine. thanks again for your speedy response

No problem and you're welcome.
I'll close the thread for now. If you need it opened again for whatever reason, send me a private message with a link to this thread and I'll open it up again for comments.
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?

if it is an mp4 encoded with the x264 codec then no - not in its current form as the galaxy y does not support hardware accelleration
you have two choice
1 - download videos in avi encoded with xvid
2 - use your pc to convert the video into avi encoded with xvid
besides that there is no way to speed it up what about ram consumption or cpu control ?
do I HAVE to switch it to avi and is there anyway i can do that on my phone ?

no if it is encoded in mp4 x264 - the galaxy y is not powerful enough to play it as it has no hardware accelleration
there are apps that convert video but I wouldnt bother with them - it would take days on a galaxy y
converting on pc or downloading avi in the first place if possible is the only solution
cm7 does support hardware accelleration with mx player but as we dont have full working libs the chances are if you turn on hardware accelleration in mx player your video will not play at all
It's better to convert it on PC and transfer to your phone

try clearing playstore data
About your problem with the Google Play Store:
Install Root Browser, navigate to system/etc/ and delete the hosts file. Then reboot your phone and your Play Store will be working.

Freedom sucks
Just uninstall the freedom app ...... and reinstall the old version of Playstore like 3.10
But i would really suggest u to stop using freedom
[Q] Issues playing ".mkv" video files with "Gallery" "Video player" "Play Movies"
I purchased Tegra Note from "Xolo" in india. In india it is sold as "Xolo Play Tegra Note". I am unable to play any of ".mkv" video files using "Gallery", "Play Movies". When I select ".mkv" videos it creates a very loud and bad sound like "krrrrrrrrrrshhhhhhttttttttrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr"; I immediately pressed the home button and closed the video. I have tried this 10-12 times with 5 different ".mkv" video files, everytime it creates that horrible sound.
These ".mkv" videos are playable without any issues using "BSPlayer Free" and "MxPlayer Free" apps.
Here is the link to my videos; LINK ---> ---> https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B5I822yDT0eYbk12Sm5XbEhKb3c&usp=sharing
Is anybody willing to play these videos on your Tegra Note device and tell me whether you have the same issues or not? If you are willing, then DOWNLOAD ".mkv" video files to your COMPUTER/LAPTOP and then transfer them on the internal storage using usb cable.
I had this problem on android 4.2.2 , 4.3 and the latest 4.4.2.

I just tried play movies, and gallery and neither will play an .mkv. I typically use mxplayer and it has played everything I have thrown at it.

Thanks Brew. I thought android 4.4 must be supporting the ".mkv" videos.

I second the mention of MX Player... I've been using it for years, and it's always worked like a charm for everything. For the record, some videos actually play smoother if you use software rendering instead of hardware... man, this is one quirky little tablet, Nvidia...
Iv tried moving videos Iv recorded from my phone on to my computer and also onto a usb drive and both times the video copies over but when you play it there is only a blank/black screen on the computer/usb copy but the audio plays. The video plays fine on the phone. I was just moving them from the folders. What am I doing wrong? :crying:
what video player are you using? try downloading Videolan player and check.
Still same result. I tried windows preview and windows movie maker originally.

Video codec missing on your pc.
Try another versatile player like VLC or MPC-HC.
And check if your graphics driver is properly installed.
I tried check that everything was installed and updated. I don't know how to install or add a codec so I ended up downloading a pack and now the video is working so hopefully that was an ok fix. Thanks.
