Hey guys im pretty new to this, i have been running my xperia U (rooted) on the old gingerbread for sometime now, finally bit the bullet and unrooted it and upgraded to ICS 4.0.4 via SCC. I quite like ICS its smoother and the phone runs faster (although battery life now suffers) the only issue i am having is I cant play videos on my phone; this includes camera video in the gallery and embedded videos on the browser. I have factory reset about 100 times still hasnt worked and have tried installing adobe air, flash etc still nothing. When i click on a video in the gallery for example i try touching the play button but nothing happens, the thumbnail and video still image is fine just there is no response from touching the play button.
Am i missing something? or am i being a complete tool, iv looked all over the forums for help on this but everyone else seems to be getting some kind of error message, mines just doesnt respond to the touch....
Help please! appreciates
thanks
Chris

hey mate thanks for the reply, everyone has recommended this but i dont like having apps on my phone that i really dont need i should be able to use the stock player, but its unresponsive. this goes for embedded vids too!
ALSO
i tried re installing firmware, got it working again but then as i was using Titanium back up to remove the bloatware it stopped working (also made sure i didnt accidently remove important files or programmes that the video player is dependant on...) im stumped! not a disaster but i like to watch the office before i go to sleep at night hahahahah
UPDATE- Found the problem i deleted the "movies" app in titanium which stops the videos from playing in the gallery, what sort of stupid **** is that!

everyone having issues with video playback.
Also had video playback issues with the xperia tablet s, but ony with the built-in sony player.
The first video (an mp4) didn't play at all ("This video can't be played" or something), after that I put it on my SGS3 where it played just fine...
The second one (another mp4) played for about 30 seconds, when suddenly the player shut down ("Unfortunately, this video has been stopped") while the audio played on and could be stopped only by restarting the sony player and the video. And again, after 30 secs, another shutdown of the player and the video, but not the audio....
Then I installed the MX Player from the play store, and since then, no playback problems so far....
I don't think we need another thread for this topic.
To clarify, I have NO issue with this device, shut down, YouTube or otherwise.

MXPlayer Pro is the best I could find. Easy to set as default player and does evey kind of video file there is...subtitles too. I would agree that video is a little different on this tablet. I think part of it may be the small format maybe? It seems like the video is playing in slow motion but only a fraction of a second maybe....then again maybe an illusion. I haven't put this next to a lappy or my regular lcd tv to see if it tracks the same though either. It's such a minor thing for me....the audio sounds fine not slow or slurred or any problem so I just leave it.
Glad to hear another confirmed positive on the flasher tool. I'm at release 3, rooted with Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v18 and looking to go to 6b. Thanks for the info.

Even if I'm already rooted? I thought if rooted then would stay rooted?? Anyone else know? I'm glad I didn't do it today and waited till Ii had more insight. Thanks either way Zer0K3wL...that's what these forums are all about.

If you update via ota update you will be locked out of root from 6b offical
If updated via the flasher root remains as its a prerooted 6b from the flasher with a different recovery 1a I believe

Thanks for the replies guys but i would prefer to use the devices own video player as i like my menu to be as clutter free as possible with out any uneccesary apps. Update - I reinstalled firmware using SCC last night and video works perfect! untill i start removing the bloatware (like gmail, talk, movies, play now etc) using titanium backup and then the video goes to the same problem again... any suggestions?
could i try reflashing kernel? any one had this issue before?
Hi guys. Firstable I want to say hello, because im new here. I will start instantly:
I've got a problem with my Xperia u. Since i've installed eXpirience v2 (before i was using stock rom and i haven't noticed any video bugs) strange thing happened to my phone :E. When i am trying to play any video using player "films" or "ES Video player" i can see semi-transparent stippes which are more visible when i'm opening gui. I'm not sure if it's caused by damaged phone or software becasue i bought my Xperia a week ago and i have installed eXpirience one hour after my phone arrived to me. I hope you will forgive me mistakes. I'm learning english yet and i can't speak perfectly. Thank you for reading my topic and i hope you will say me what is the reason of my problem and may solution.
If it's just videos, it's a software problem. Try to play your videos with MX player and if there is no changes, try to reinstall the ROM or change your ROM! I find eXperience very uglyyyyy

Seems like it's happening while playing videos only. When I'm exploring websites or menu or even playing games it looks like everyting is ok. I'll try to install new ROM and give a sign here if new soft is the solution.
Edit: MX Player is doing the same : ( I'll try to reinstall ROM and install stock for example, but i will to it tomorrow. After testing i will post here how it's working
We've got a problem. When i'm exploring internet i can see the same strippes but only horizontally and only in one part of the screen. They're also visible only at site. I can't see it on Opera bar or that bar at the top of the screen.

Change the decoder to sw instead of hw..it will work..and untick the 2d hardware rendering option in developer option
Sent from my ST25i using xda premium
2d rendering is unticked by default. I have changed decoder and so far seems like everything is ok while playing videos. Hope it will keep actual condition. Thank you guys and got one more question: Why is it happening when i'm exploring websites and only if there's a picture on the screen? What is the reason?
Hi there, i've got a tablet plugged on my TV, and never had any trouble with Adobe Flash before, but recently while i was using dolphin browser i got a message that i should install flash to watch a movie (which i already had installed) so i had to delete the flash version i had and download a new one from the same message on dolphin browser. Then i started to notice some weird things while watching videos, the video doesn't fit the normal window and can't scroll normally, it's like video is static in place even if i scroll up or down, and the tracking reacts very slow. The other problem is that now when i play movies the subtitles goes 3 or 4 seconds ahead of the video.
Like i said this never happened before, i've tried to install older versions of flash, made factory reset, delete any other app in case of conflicts, but i can't solve it. I'd like to watch flash videos like before, does anyone can help me or give me advice about this problem? Thanks in advance. :good:
Hello there.
I just bought the OPX and it's a great device (except for the camera, of course)
But I have this weird video player problem.
videos are lagging and stuttering everywhere! twitter, youtube, browser, anywhere! except if I used an external player like (mx player) it goes kinda smooth.
I tried to disable nuplayer (or enable it, I don't remember but I changed the default state ) and got to nowhere. Same thing.
I've came across some webpages of people having a similar problem, yet no one have offered a proper solution.
I'm on the latest OTA oxygen update, just bought my phone 3 days ago so I didn't even have time to mess around
really looking to fix this problem ASAP because it's annoying, VERY annoying.
May be reset will work out!
Do a factory reset, or replace the device to a new one!
I guess I would do a reset when I'm totally out of ideas.
any sugs?

Try Awesome Player in developer options
Blu-spark kernel really improve the experience with the OPX. But I still have this problem sometimes.
I noticed that it's not on all vids on the youtube app for ex. It should be related to the video format (of course, worse on 1080p) & codecs/encoding properties (VBR ou CBR) or the servers the video is on. My data speed transfer is not the issue on that.
Tried awesome player, nothing changed.
---
so what do you suggest beside changing the kernel?
