CM7 Video playback issues - Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Can play the videos I recorded using the camera fine. Having issues playing other types of videos. Divx won't play at all, mkv files have no sound. They played fine in ComRom 2.1. I'm running the latest CM7 build with the DockAudioAndCompassFix.zip kernel. Anyone else having these issues?

Yes, the stock player won't play any of my Divx videos. That was one thing I liked about TW. It included some extra codecs that don't normally come with Android.
I downloaded RockPlayer, and that seems to be working well for my Divx videos.

Yeah, touchwiz roms weren't all that bad when it came to video playback. So would pushing the video app from a touchwiz rom solve this issue? I've tried rock player and it doesn't seem as smooth.

If you don't mind possibly restoring to a nandroid backup, go for it, it might work.
I do think I remember someone (adrynalyne, maybe?) stating there were specific DRM/codec packages in the TW ROMs that handled this, and they were separate from the video player APK.

Hold off on doing a TW nandroid restore on CM7! Pretty sure that's a guaranteed bork right there, but let me verify...
EDIT: Yeah, per times_infinity in jt's CM7 thread, any nandroid backups made on a TW ROM cannot be restored onto an AOSP ROM like MIUI or CM7. You would first need to do a full stock flash in Odin including the Atlas 2.2 PIT file to get back to TW. From there, you would need to convert to Voodoo if you nandroid was created on a Voodoo system. Hopefully the first part of this message reached you in time...

Sorry, I didn't make my post clear. I'm also pretty sure that doing a full TW nandroid restore on a CM7 setup would bork your phone.
I meant that pushing the TW video player itself might screw up your phone, so if you try it, be prepared to perform a nandroid restore to a previous CM7 clean point to "fix" it.

Ah okay, I just saw TW, CM7, and Nandroid too close together and panicked then If it still doesn't work just pushing the apk, I'd go the whole nine and Odin back to stock (with PIT of course) and start clean. A very wise woman once said it best: nuke it from orbit, it's the only way to be sure...

Lol who doesn't like an old alien reference...I bet bishop could fix the video problem!
I would like to hear if pushing the apk would work...I've got a little one on the way, and I've got a video of the heartbeat...it's a shame that I can watch it but can't hear it

Try Vplayer from the market, it supports a lot of formats.

Crunchyroll app fc

I was wondering if anyone out there uses crunchyroll on their Nc. Whenever I pick a video to stream it gives me a good old force close. I'm on custom nookie froyo...thanks
Edit- oh yeah the question, is anybody able to get this to work on any variation of the nc?
It works great om my nooter based default firmware (2.1). I am sorry if you are having issues with the app.

The update over the weekend allowed it for all members to be able to use the app. I tested same release on my Evo and it was all good, but I'm looking for some 7" goodness (thats what she said). Oh, and I tried an uninstall/reinstall and titanium wipe, still no go...think I'm going to jump over to CM7 and HC to give those a test
Hey Magicalsleeper,
Wondering if you had any luck yet?
I'm also on nookie froyo on my NC and like you crunchyroll fc'ed on me.
It runs fine on my Samsung Moment phone, which is also running a 2.2 rom.
Once I figure out how to go back to stock on my NC, I'm going to try running it on plain nooter like Matarick.

Using Preludedrew's Stock ROM and Dread 7us' Honeycomb Theme with BC's 1.5 Kernel...(max 1.267 min 768 ondemand)
place it on your SD card and use a file manager to download the apk.
*EDIT* here is the latest build (1.3) works well on CM7.

Yeah, it won't stream video yet. Some other threads are saying that the app is checking for hardware version and/or DRM rights and failing when the phones don't pass. Seems there's a thread for this in every phone's forum and they're all having the same results. I'm betting that our talented community will figure it out though

Anyone have success yet with the Netflix apk file for the HTC EVO Shift 4G streaming media?
My boyfriend's EVO has it up and running, but my EVO Shift still won't stream anything.
This is an old build. A current one is available somewhere in the forums. Go download that one...
Try and do a search.

Well here is the latest NETFLIX APP (1.3) which I'm sure is available everywhere. Figured to skip the searching and post it. Tried it on my SPEEDY and works pretty well. No need for patches, just install straight up.
I am running CM7 nightly135, with Pershoot's V1 Kernel (245/1.6 smartass)
Haven't tried it with the latest Sense Roms but I'm sure it's no problem.

Just dl'ed v1.3 from the link above and installed via adb push. App loads up fine and logs in perfectly well. All features seem intact until I try to view a video. Phone slides into Landscape mode, Netflix looks like it is buffering, then a small window pops up saying that it is having trouble connecting to the netflix site. Same result on every movie. Can't even get audio. Otherwise, the app works great. Seems to me that Netflix is a step ahead here.
Using Sprint's newest 2.3.3 temp-rooted, btw.
Juts tried my netflix app, I am using strapped rom and the app comes with the Rom, and it worked fine.

1.4 is updated to work on any 2.2 & 2.3 device, the patch shouldn't be necessary anymore. Possible any remnants of it are hanging about?

Uninstalled, reinstalled, wiped cache, wiped davlik cache, even wiped my ass... app still behaves the same, I can login, but when I try to watch anything it just loops back to the menu. I'm gonna try some backups and test w. And w.o kernals and on different roms.
Sent from my PG06100 using xda premium
I can verify it works on cm7, shift deck, & cyclonic roms. Haven't had problems with any kernels specific to netflix.
Might be worth an ruu back to stock, clear out any accrued crud that the normal wipes doesn't cure. I have had to do that once or twice for various issues.
Good luck.

i'm confused

I flashed bi-winning (great rom), however avatar is no longer on my phone. this is strange because i've flashed many times and avatar is never effected. this time, however, it is gone, the trailer is still there though. I was thinking it's just hidden somewhere on my sd card, what do you think?
this also happened with the sims 3. i flashed a rom and it dissapeared, although i haven't seen the sims on my phone in a while.
finding avatar and sims
avatar should be in the movie folder of your external SD, the only reason it shouldn't be there is if you switched cards. and check your root folder for the sims 3.apk files, if you don't have it I keep a copy of it just let me know if you want it.
I found avatar. It has a pyv extention for some reason. As far as looking in the root folder. Where is the root folder?

Root is just your sd card. Not in any folder on your sd card.
Like on your computer root = c: NOT c:/anyfolder
legitimate. i always wondered what happened too....
finding root folders
you will need to have rooted your phone, then with root explorer or something similar go to data/app/ and you will see most of your .apk files that you have ever downloaded from the market. sims will be in this one. just run the .apk to reinstall the game. I always manually copy this folder to my external to make it easyer if my backups fail.
Normally when you flash a rom Avatar is still there, you just need to go to video player to watch it because the roms remove the icon for it but not the movie
Great info on the Sims. Thank-you. As far as avatar goes. I've always been able to open the movie through the gallery. Now all I see in the gallery is the trailer. Let me check this stuff out and ill let you know what has worked
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Edit: searched through root explorer and the sims is not there, that isn't a big deal. I suppose i could flash a rom where i know ive seen avatar and save it to my sd card from there, again, this isn't a big deal either. I mostly like to pull it up and show people how awesome our screens are.
Update: just flashed back to trigger. Avatar is back. Im not sure what the deal is with this
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I'm not trying to beat a dead horse but after I flashed trigger I moved avatar to the root of my SD card. It was viewable. I then went back to bi-winning and it was the same story as before. I found avatar but it was not viewable. I think this is rom related.

Its Kernel related. I've tried a bunch of times but for some reason Avatar won't work on the Overstock Kernel

I think it must be rom related. Avater worked for me on bionix 1.3.1, i'm currently watching it on trigger 2.9.2. I'm thinking it might have something to do with 2.2.1 roms, but that is just speculation.

I got my hands on a 4G vibrant it comes with "Inception" and its a .pyv extension the "Avatar" that came with my 3G vibrant is a .dcf extension. Both movies won't play for me unfortunately. Just thought it was weird that the extension was changed(keepin **** locked down!)
For me personally the avatar that came with the phone hasn't played in such along time i can't even remember and i've since replaced it with a mp4 copy along with mp4's of other movies! i.e. i show avatar to some buddies and get a shoulder shrug.... show them jackass3 and its "wow, thats awesome looking!" lol. to each their own i guess. I only keep these originals to check compatibility on ROMS for those on here.

I think replacing with MP4 versions is probably the best way to insure it will play. It's dumb though, samsung and T-mobile include these movies and they restrict them so they can't be copied. I understand the reasoning, i just don't agree with it
Has anyone been able to fix this? Also im on toxic firefly and swype doesnt work correctly either.

Best camera flashes?

In my first post I posted when I joined this website I asked about a camera app for cm7 that was like the stock vibrant camera app. I now want to know, after some info given to me in that post, what are the best camera apps that can be flashed, by rom manager or odin, and are compatible with cm7 that closely resemble or are nicer looking than the stock 2.1 camera. I think my biggets thing is just that the 2.1 cam looks like it takes the whole phones screen rather than cm7 which has a black line at the bottom which makes the camera look smaller. Again any and all help welcome and thanks in advance
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
Actually you could really just take any 3rd party camera app and push the .apk to the directory of system/app/ with root explorer. The app will then become a system app. You don't neccesarily have to flash it via Odin or CWR.
Sent from my SGH-T959 (Samsung Vibrant)
Ok thanks so my new question is if I was to rip the camera.apk app with root explorer and replace it in cm7 would I keep the 2.1 camera? I know you can do it to remove or add apks to roms but I didnt know if the firmware versions would be an issue (ex 2.1 cam on 2.3.7)
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
Although it should work, I'm not 100% as I've never tried it. So make sure you're play it safe and do a backup... I would suggest you do a backup in CWR (or a Nandroid Backup) just in case as you can never be to safe. Plus I wouldn't delete the 2.1 camera.apk, just move it to another location like to your sd card. This way if the CM7 camera doesn't work you can just switch it back with the original one.
Ok thanks for the info im actually gonna try it sometime today ill be sure to post if it works or not

Alright, hope everything works out for you.
Well flashing the apk from 2.1 on cm7 or the miui rom(forgot which one) didnt work I liked the miui one but it didnt have an app drawer and the controls were a little bit weird but I like some of the stuff. I guess the mods can close this now I figure I cant flash the old camera anyone who reads this and finds out how to do please pm me. Thanks for the help you guys

(Resolved)Sirius xm on AOSP ROM

Is anyone successfully using the Sirius xm app on their DNA running an AOSP Rom? I can get signed in and the app attempts to load, it opens in landscape mode then as soon as the player starts it goes to portrait mode and force closes.
I'm currently running pac but I've tried it on multiple cm builds too.
If anyone has it working I'd appreciate any tips. I miss Howard Stern but not enough to go back to sense.

I believe the problem is the app itself, not the Roms. The latest update gave me the same issues. I went back to a previous version i had backed up and works fine on any rom ive installed.(pac,carbon,cm) Good to know there is a work around if older version isn't available.

Yeah, unfortunately I didn't have an older version backed up. I had it backed up from a sense ROM but deleted my titanium backup folder once I started using the AOSP Rom's as a daily driver.
