S3 Video player issue - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

In the default video player when ever i play the video ( in vertical holding)in generally the video should align to the middle but mostly of the time(8 out of 10 times) it is aligning to the top .
I started observing this after the recent official update ,is there any solution for this ?, Does any one of you have the same issue ?

Try clearing the application data of the video player or download a better video player: MX Player.

MX Player is the best use it

Using an alternative video player isn't solving the issue though is it? MX Player solves the problem but doesn't look as polished as the stock player.
I've had the same problem as the OP since flashing different ROMs, it certainly wasn't a problem before. There is also the same problem with YouTube in portrait mode.
Have tried clearing data and factory reset but to no avail.
It is frustrating to say the least...

I also had the same problem. And I belIeve the camera app also had the same problem...I did fix the problem....flash the fastest Rom again and problem solved.

Have tried the latest stock ROM this morning and issue still present. It is however only present on AVI files, not mp4.

I've got same problem and really no idea how to fix it

i love style of stock player but mxplayer is more powerfull

So this issue is in YouTube app, Camera app, Video Player app ... i guess it's related to root access ...

Any solution apart from installing a different ROM? Youtube gives me this problem. Quite annoying.

Full flash is very useful on youtube because most videos are absent from the app and mobile version
Flash player version 10.3 was also posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1309406
For me 10.2 and 10.3 work the same, I can't change the resolution to lower it. Whjen using 360p the video has a very low framerate, but at least audio works well!
Is anyone able to set the resolution to 240p? Even going to "playback settings" and setting quality to low didn't help.
Nice. It finally works fine on my device.
Thanks!!! It's great!!!!!
10.3 increases compatibility. Now I can play BBC iPlayer content and video feeds on BBC News. Also, the BBC iPlayer app now displays the first frame of video - on 10.2 it didn't even get that far.
Gotta get this THx for sharing
Flash 10.3 is available as well for ARMv6

I tested it and It plays ad too. Youtube and bbc iplayer. Even with sound

Videos capture and playback problems

Hi, I'm running HepHappys port of CM9 for the LG O1. My problem is this: when I take videos the video in the view finder is jittery. When I playback any video, either imported from a computer or taken with the phone camera it says "sorry, this video could not be played do to an error". I have tried using multiple media players to no avail. YouTube pays fine although idk about HQ. If I flash back to CM7 no problems. I've tried playing videos taken in CM7 while running CM9 and still no playback. I had the same problem on AOKP. Does any one else have this problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

you are facing this problem becasue we are unable to get openmax codecs for full hardware acceleration . so if you record video it will b laggy and if you play hd video it could not be played . if you cant compromise with this problem then i suggest you to stuck with gingerbread because it is better than ics on our phones .
Sent from my LG-P500 using xda app-developers app
Try using mx player with armv6 codec,both found in the Google play store

Every ics thread shows this problem and its discussed at length in all of them. No driver from qualcomm. Nothing you can do except software decoding.
Sent from my LG-P500 using xda app-developers app
Thanks guys! I thought that was the problem.
I tried MX media player and now I can play videos! Thanks
Sorry for creating an unnecessary thread, I've looked through several ics forums and I guys I just missed it.
Thanks

recording video on keek problem: running cMIUI custom rom

Hi All,
I am running the latest cmiui build and its a great rom.
just noticed I have a problem when I try to record videos on the Keek app from the Play store.
Once you record a video the playback is all just lines with no clear video but the audio seems to work.
Has anyone else experienced this problem?
Cheers
SGS2 on cMIUI 2.8.10
Have you tried the app on a different rom? It might be a bug in the app itself.

Finally moved away from miui and back to a stock samsung rom.
Keek app works fine on stock so im guessing there was some kind of problem with the video driver used in the CM based miui rom.
Thanks for your input mate! :good:

Do as i recommended.!
You need these Tools
1....Firefox Browser....v.15.01
2....Adobe Flash Player v.11.1..115.17
2....Video Downloader Pro v.1.02 (or use the Free to Test first.)
3....MX Player and MX Codec ARMv.7
If you already downloaded the Flash Player, it shows on your HomeScreen as Adobe Flash Settings just leave it as is because its Ticked to receive Updates
and IF Adobe gives us a Fix it will Auto Update your version without needing to get a new one.!!!
To WATCH Videos ON your Device go to the Site using your Internet Stock Browser and PLAY the Video.!!!
To DOWNLOAD Videos ONTO your Device use Firefox Browser and VideoDownloadePro and DOWNLOAD..!!!
SET the MX Player as your Default Player its the Best one out there.!!!
I can Watch and Download any video with this work-around... it works 100%
Hope you understand this work-around.!

Online Video Corruption

Hi Guys,
I've had my S3 for a couple of months now, but i've found that i'm occasionally experiencing some corruption when viewing online Videos (guessing they're Flash vids). I have the latest Official Firmware, rooted with Franco Kernel - though this did happen before i rooted. It doesnt happen everytime, and even videos on the same website will play and then some don't. Has anyone else seen this before, have any ideas on how to fix it? Attached a screenshot of what happens.
I've been having the same problem I think I its a flash player issue and jellybean

Thanks for the response - puts my mind at ease a little. Was beginning to think my S3 was faulty.
Same here.
Same here on stock Jellybean

Never had this on stock rom/kernel or foxhound/siyah kernel.

Same here on a Sammy jellybean rom, i don't recall seeing this on aosp based Roms, I might be wrong though.
I did notice a work around though, the "corruption" only happens (or mostly) at 480p videos, so if you change the quality to 360p or 720p it should work as usual.
Hope this helps.

flash 11.1 had this issue on certain flash video's, since you can't get a newer flash branch, just uninstall it and use html5 video.
Try this... http://db.tt/Nlqa2OnD
Its an older version of flash. It should work.
