[Q] Absolutely unable to stream video - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone. I just want to ask if anyone has the same problem or knows how to fix this.
After updating to 4.3, I can not stream video with MX Player or the stock video player. Tried various other apps on the play store and none seem to work.
Sometimes a video starts to stream and lags like crazy, then freezes. Any help?

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

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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.

Video in Locked mode?

Hello everyone,
Are there any ways to have videos play while the phone is in locked mode like the music player? Sometimes i can only listen to my videos at work and with the screen on, battery life can only last several hours. Any help please? Thank you!
anyone any ideas?
this might work.
A definite work-around is to convert the videos to .mp3s and play them via the HTC Music Player.
Not sure if you would like that, though....
that reminds me of a cab I have called youtube play. it has the ability to make mp3s of the youtube video as you download it. sucks as a youtube player, but this functionality makes it worthwhile.

YouTube videos open in Streaming Media with audio only, no video

When I first got my Tilt 2 I could play youtube videos fine, but now I just get audio, no video. When I launch youtube URLs they open in the browser and get redirected to m.youtube.com. When I click "Watch Video" it launches HTC Streaming Media, the About screen shows 3.10h (Build 1918.1332). The app connects and buffers just fine, and the sound is fine, but no video. The screen is just black (or grey actually, sometimes with random back bars). No difference in Portrait or Landscape mode.
I'm still using the AT&T ROM, I've installed a few apps but no media players. If I manually launch the YouTube app from \Windows\YouTube the video and audio are great. This About screen shows 2.6 (Build 1917.4121).
I searched this forum and the general forum for youtube and "streaming media" but didn't find an answer.
Did I do something to change the default player for RTSP? Should I even bother fixing the Streaming Media app or just figure out how to change the default player to the YouTube app?
youtube URLs never open in the youtube app as far as i know. but try a hard reset because even in streaming media, you should be getting video.
I've got a lot of apps installed and custom settings, it's not worth a hard reset just to get youtube videos when everythign else works.
Does anyone have any troubleshooting suggestions?
Have you tried Pyrorobs youtube update?
Streams fast and works allright.
It only doesnt support landscape atm.
Hello... First, my English is not very good, i using Freya ROM, 23138, it's very good... but i have sound problems when stream from youtube using Streaming Media, there is no sound, only video is playing, i can't set up eny other player to be default streaming player when i open opera mini and m.youtube.com to stream. How can i fix sound problem in streaming media when i watch youtube stream? Any codec, or fix, patch, reg key or something to fix that stupid problem? I try using TCPMP end registry change rtsp key, opera mini than doesn't recognize stream and then i see rtsp error, i have all plugins installed for tcpmp and youtube and codecs. Please help me to use streaming media, i like it, or setting up other default rtsp player (example TCPMP)! Thanks

[Q] issue with video player app replay?

hey guys,
i recorded some videos from a bball game in HD. during playback the video will stop like someone was hitting pause. i checked to see if it was a storage issue, have plenty of room. I thought it was because it was recording to sd card, moved to phone storage same problem. i downloaded MX PLAYER from the app store and it works fine.
wanted to see if anyone was experiencing issues with the video player.

[Q] "Sorry this video cannot be played"

Hey guys,
Been playing around and watching videos all night before I slept on my GS4. Right now for some reason only the YouTube videos won't immediately load on chrome, and give me this error.
Other videos on Whatsapp etc etc all work fine.
I've installed MX Player, it's latest ARMv7 Neon codec and used both hardware and software decoding etc options but to no avail.
Any idea what could be causing this problem?
Seriously 0 replies for such a common error? Come on guys.
Anyways I figured out a solution that seems to be working for me till now, and that is I uninstalled my flash player from it's previous version of 10.something to the latest on of 11. something and I believe I restarted the phone.
All videos on YT on Chrome working again.
