I have a movie on my N900, and when played it says:

Unable to play media.
Media format not supported.


Fair enough, the file isn't supported. However, it causes everything to say this error, including mp3's that worked previously!

I've tried this and it doesn't work:

Re-booting does work, but clearly there is some bug here, not sure if it has been mentioned before. I wonder what it causing it, and how to rectify it without a reboot?

Edit: This is with the standard media player.

it happen to me too...I am sure this has been discussed many time. It didn't bother me much since I usually watch movie more than listening to mp3. I can always rely on mplayer.

Yeah!

I have similar problem! After open some video file (mostly Flash video) and get the message "Media format not supported", I can't open any other file.

Of course, a reboot solves the problem.

This wasn't fixed in the pr1.2 update for me - I have the same problem. Whenever I play any video file, the first play works, then after that I always get the following;

Unable to play media.
Media format not supported.

Anyone have any fixes for this problem?

Thanks in advance.

I have the same problem. I found that the problem is caused by enhanced power kernel - it appears every time i install it. Sometimes I can still play video for several hours but eventually i get the unwanted message "media format not supported". Video capturing stop working too.
