Media player not playing videos.
 

Right idk how to explain other than it will simply play about 5 seconds then go back to the film selection screen, same thing happens with youtube videos streamed via mobile youtube.. Any ideas how to fix this? I got this N900 about 2 weeks ago now and its done it since I got it. Grrr.

Try to uninstall Subtitles and the program for IrDA port.
Thank you

Re: Media player not playing videos.
 

I have the _exact_ same problem, either the video plays for like 5 seconds, or it just gives an error right away.

I don't have Subtitle Support installed, but what is this program for IrDA-port that you're talking about..?

Re: Media player not playing videos.
 

for TV control

Re: Media player not playing videos.
 

i have subtitles installed I'll uninstall it

Re: Media player not playing videos.
 

Okies, removed it then rebooted, still does it, dont have any irda installed

Re: Media player not playing videos.
 

Try installing "Extra Codecs Support" from the app manager.

Re: Media player not playing videos.
 

Ok so I don't have any IrDA-TVcotrol apps, and do have extra codecs installed, but still does it..

Re: Media player not playing videos.
 

Sorry, what I meant was:
1) If you do not have extra codecs installed, then install them.

2) If you already had it installed, try re-installing them, an restarting the n900.

3) Also, you can try uninstalling extra codecs support, and try playing your videos then. If it plays properly then, it's definitely a codec problem.

Chances are the codec's giving problems, and not installed properly. Btw have you tried other media players as well? Do they work properly?

Re: Media player not playing videos.
 

I've played these films on my old N900 before with codec support but ill try anyways.

Re: Media player not playing videos.
 

Ok so I reinstalled extra codecs, but still keeps saying that the video format is not supported.. I wonder if it's because I've overclocked my N900 with the kernel-power-settings.. Could try to remove my OC.

Re: Media player not playing videos.
 

Tried it with codec support uninstalled, still does it, tried with codec support reinstalled, still does it.

Try MediaBox or SIB as an alternative to the native media player. For some reason (need to look thoroughly) some videos don't work well on Media Player whereas MediaBox or SIB can finely play them including state remembering.
