As I recall (it's been a while) after the last firmware I started getting "Media format not supported" for all the video files I had been using on my old E90. I've just been waiting for a firmware/software fix, but as I've not been hearing a lot of comment on the boards I've started to think it's only me.

Is this a "system-wide" problem? Has everyone else "moved on" to other video players?

What's up?

i installed something called Media Player Extra Codecs from the repositories since day one, and i'ven't had any issues with videos yet... =)

Try restaring the phone..sometimes that happens to me. But usually hours after using the phone. And when I try a .wmv sometimes it gives me that error and gives me the same error for all filetypes. A restart cures it.

If the problem only occurs after trying to open a file it doesn't like you can fix it by running the following in xterm:
You shouldn't need to reboot now, it should be correctly playing valid files again.

Obviously this will not help you if even after a reboot it doesn't play files, that's a different issue entirely. This merely restarts the media renderer to the same state as a reboot would.

No Joy. Rebooting doesn't help. So does this mean everyone else can view, e.g. the 1080 Star Trek Preview Nokia provided last year??

I tri with and without the Extra Decoders Support" app.

If you want people to be able to tell you whether they can or cannot play videos you're unable to play, or tell you why theyre unplayable, provide links to them.

The file I referred to I D/Led from Ovi. The filename is "Exclusive_KIRK_1080p.mov_2.3gp" but I don't know if it's still on Ovi.

The others are on my uSD card, from my E90. I wouldn't provide a link to them even if I knew how.

I had thought that the issue was that video sizes greater than 800x480 was "Broken" with the last update, but this thread is indicating otherwise....

I downloaded The Iron Man 2 trailer from Ovi. It played well on my device..have you tried reflashing? Or removing and reinstalling the media player?

To remove media player:
In xterm
To reinstall it connect to the internet and in xterm:
You can also try using KMPlayer with m player (in extras/devel).

My Bad. I tried to play them on my PC and still had problems. Something messed up earlier this year (a bad copy??). I have most replaced with working backups - I had to go pretty far back.

I'd like to thank everyone for finally convincing me that I was the only one with the problem, even if it was of the OTOSOTK variety.
