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..?

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.

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?

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