[Q] flac playback - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I seem to be having trouble with flac playback.
The music app (the new google one) seems to be able to read all the info in the flac files, including length and album cover... everything's there, but when you hit play there's no sound...
I've had a look at other players on the market that say they support flac and the same thing happens. (or they even think the files are like 200 hours long or something weird)
Has anybody else had any trouble with flac on the x10?
Thanks in advance,
Russ

look for Mplayer on xda

Im not having that luck, MP4 is not supported on my phone
Files that won't play for me seem to be more of an audio issue than video. I think it's the audio codecs that were preventing playback, still got a lot of testing to do on this front. I sometimes have a video start playing fine and after 3s a "vidoe player cannot play this file" pops up.
Don't know what you're talking about? I just converted a movie to MP4 format just the other night, and it plays just fine on my phone. You've gotta be doing something wrong?
My phone plays everything I've slapped on my sdcard... Mp4s exp... And its beautiful...

Mpeg4 wordplay for me, but it's video only. Absolutely no audio.

it was probably an mp4 using AAC audio instead of AC3. I discovered this when I found the built in video player wouldn't play audio on some of my MKV files that Rockplayer would.
Yeah, I've been extremely impressed with video playback. I think there is an app called rockplayer you may want to try (though the format you mentioned seems to work for most)

[Q] slow playback when trying to play. WMV file

I downloaded a short clip video from a website on to my phone. It's a .wmv file about 8 megs in size, when I try to play it back in rockplayer it playsback very slow, like it's in slow motion. Yet when I playback a video recorded by the phone playback is normal and smooth.
Anybody know why?

What media player are you using to view the file?

wmv files are always a pain in the ass, they always play slower than usual if they are really using the wmv codecs, this is seems more a codec issue than a phone issue.
Have you tried other files with same extension?
hook the file to the computer and check the codec using Media Player classic from K-lite codec pack, on the properties you can see the codec used.
If on your computer the file get heavy/slower to jump from one time to other this is for sure a codec issue.
Do you get any additional lags anywhere?
Maybe the version of rock player that you are using is not the good one for your phone.
Are you using hardware acceleration? (rockplayer config)

Yes I am using whatever the latest of rockplayer is.
No I'm not using hardware acceleration. Where do I get that?!
Gladbto know it's more a codex issue than a phone thing. Still annoying though.
So is an easy fix to use hardware acceleration? !

You can try QQPlayer if it ends up being a codec issue, or system player will even play some wmv.
Is it a 720p video? High resolution or bitrate could be the problem too. Hd video is just impractical to use on x10 unless it's from the video camera.
Stick with sd mp4 trailers if you can find them.

Vital player plays Wmv ok for me, had slow speed with arc media.

[Q] i9100g Flac support

Hi, I am new on this community.
I want to know if anyone have problems with Flac files?
I can add my flac collection to Apollo or Play Music, this apps can read the Flac tags but does not plays the music.
Thanks!
Nacho, i'm sure there's an app for that flac or whatever you got there.
Sent from the little guy
Yep you need an music app that plays FLACs. Try Poweramp.
Thanks a lot. I thought it could put of the flahs
