Keeping a watch on this thread too. I did a load of ripping of Video when I got thsi phone and they all played well. Now nothing plays.

I can get the odd trailer to play but normally requires a tiresome re-boot. Also a few played after I removed the additional codec, but that could have been down to a re-boot too which i did after the codec uninstall. in the firmware the codec pack does not appear to open up any other video formats.

Agree that this is frustrating as clearly the hardware is capable but with each update the codecs seem to be decaying
