After downloading newest android update video won't play from within photos.

After updating to the latest Android software, the video playback will not work and the error message "Can't play video" appears when trying to access video from within the photos section, they are visible as thumbnails and first frames. .. They can still be played back from the videos section but it used to work on both. This has affected all videos that are on the phone. Does anyone have any ideas?  Thanks, 

spoke to online help today, they told me to backup my phone carry out software repair using pc companion. it did nothing but wipe my apps, the problem on mine comes from it won't allow films to be downloaded to the memory card, it will however download to the phone, which is crap seeing how small the onboard memory is. i've submitted an email and no doubt in a week or 2 there will be another update to sort this. it seems that none of these updates are tested properely as when my xperia z updated once you lost loadspeaker till the came up with a patch file.
my xperia z1 will play vids but when i updated there was about 40gb from video unlimited saved on the memory card, which immediately came up out of rental.... which is a pile of crap seeing as they were bought films. lets keep fingers crossed this is fixed quick.

Ive downloaded the newest version at least three times. Is there someting Im missing or not doing. Once downloaded it says it was done sucessfully.

  • Rotate Photos Before Or After Importing To PC? Videos Won't Play On PC!!!

    Hello,
    I have an iPhone 5, before that a 3GS, and I've had NOTHING BUT FRUSTRATION with my photos & videos.
    Well I'll get to my other complaints below, but for now; is it best to rotate the photos before I import to pc? If not do I correct the rotation in the import software (scanner & camera wizard etc), or shall I wait to rotate my 10,000 photos once I get them in my pc's final folder? Note not all 10,000 photos need rotating.
    MY OTHER FRUSTRATIONS....I still have ALL my photos & videos 10,000 of them still on my camera roll, because I'm afraid the import may not be good, WHY???????.........WELL....Some of them would not import properly.........AND...THE DAMNED VIDEOS I just can't seem to get them to play on my p.c.
    MY PC is old, but has 1 GB Ram and a 1.04 AMD Processor, with an older graphics card, but cost me $500 10 years ago, the motherboard is a nice one but is 8 years old, my p.c. is non-propietary.
    WHY WON'T MY VIDEOS PLAY ON MY P.C......
    AND AT WHAT POINT DO I SPEND THE HOURS & HOURS ROTATING MY 10,000 PHOTOS BEFORE IMPORT, WITHIN THE IMPORT PROGRAM OR AFTER I IMPORT THEM INTO MY PERSONAL FOLDER?
    All I get from Apple is that it's something to do with me removing all the photos from the camera roll then putting them back on the phone in the photo library?
    WHY DOES THIS HAVE TO BE SO COMPLICATED?
    DO I NEED A NEW COMPUTER?
    WHAT ARE THE SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS?.........I THINK I MEET THEM
    PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Without knowing exactly what happens when you try to play a video, close all apps and reset your iPad.
    In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Next, reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    IF that fails to help, and it very well could, you should describe what is happening so that more specific suggestions can be offered.

  • Video won't play from playlist or album

    I have 2 music videos that play fine when started from video - put if I start either of them from playlist or album they come up and don't play.
    Appeciate any assistance.

    Thank you so much for getting back to me.
    I've looked through the code and couldn't find any path problems as I put everything in a single folder and ftped the whole folder up.  I'm missing something though.  It works well on my home machine Off a jump drive and off the hard drive.  When I go to load it up at school it doesn't play on my school machine or after I load it up on their server.  I had an idea that I wonder if my school machine has some type of blocker on it that's not letting it play off the jump drive (which works fine on my home machine).  I've loaded it up on the server and will check it tonight on my home machine to see If its some sort of school blocking thing.  Other than that I'm stumped.
    Here's the web page: http://faculty.gordon.edu/hu/bi/ted_hildebrandt/DASV/00_DASVIndex.htm
    Scroll down about one screen and you should see:

  • My videos won't play from my email or on web why

    I see the video rectangle and when i move my mouse there a block tab on the top right of the rectangle pops up an it wont play at all . I need to view these videos as part of my job and it is hurting my business, please help.

    You can check for problems with current Flash plugin versions and try these:
    *disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
    *disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
    *disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Flash#Troubleshooting

  • Videos won't play from websites like yahoo, MSN. Using Windows 8, everything up to date.

    I have tried all the suggested remedies for this problem and nothing seems to work. Flash is up to date and enabled, cleared cookies, started Firefox in safe mode and reset Firefox. The problem also seems to happen in Chrome as well.

    Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
    You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:

    * [http://www.eset.com/us/online-scanner/ ESET Online Scanner]
    [http://windows.microsoft.com/MSE Microsoft Security Essentials] is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.

  • Videos won't play after update

    Updated iPad 1 to OS 4.3.3 and now all iTune videos won't play. Screen goes black and then resets with "Unable to play this video" message. Any way to fix without downloading 50gb of movies again?

    Not sure if this was the fix but the problem was resolved. I was also having App store sync problems so I rebooted the iPad (hard reboot) and then immediately went to app store any updated all apps (video player want one of them) and after it was complete I did another hard boot/reset. When the iPad restarted I immediately went into the video player and Problem Solved!  Nt sure how it resolved itself but it works without reloading the files. Never connected to my laptop or resync'dthe iPad but just did an update to all of my apps from the App store (there were 11 to update). Good luck with it.

  • After automatically updated to Firefox 3.6.15 videos won't play properly

    Recently when firefox was automatically updated to 3.6.15 suddenly videos won't play properly anymore. Vidxden videos used to play really well but now they don't load properly or not at all. All the other videos take forever to load and don't seem to be compatible anymore. I usually go to the same video sites and those don't work like they used to. I've noticed as well that hotmail is really slow and many pages won't load at all including windows live web site. It doesn't appear that 3.6.15 is very compatible with video play or msn sites.

    Since automatic update to 3.6.15, I am unable to play videos on abc.com, and even on my News Feed page in Facebook. The error message says the video is being blocked by an ad blocker in my browser. I have not changed my security settings, nor have I updated any other software recently.
    By the way, I did check the same videos (at abc.com and on Facebook) with Internet Explorer (same computer) and they played just fine.

  • After download a new update I cannot FaceTime

    I cannot communicate with Face time with my friend who has iPAd 2 after downloading a new update from 18/07.

    Howdy Inessazhk,
    I found this article while researching FaceTime for you named FaceTime for Mac: Troubleshooting FaceTime found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4185
    Troubleshooting FaceTime for Mac
    You can make FaceTime calls using the FaceTime app. You can call FaceTime users whose contact information is in Contacts. You can add contacts and edit contact information in either FaceTime or Contacts. To place a video call, you may use a phone number or email address.
    If you encounter issues making or receiving FaceTime calls, try the following:
    Verify that FaceTime is enabled in FaceTime > Preferences.If the issue persists, or if you see the message "Waiting for Activation", try toggling FaceTime off and then on.
    Verify that the Date, Time, and Time Zone are set correctly:
    From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences > Date & Time > Date & Time.
    Enable "Set Automatically".
    Click the Time Zone tab and confirm the closest city is correct.
    Verify that both parties are connected to an active broadband Internet connection.
    See Mac OS X: Troubleshooting a cable modem, DSL, or LAN Internet connection.
    Consult Using FaceTime behind a firewall for necessary ports to open in firewalls, security software and routers.
    If you encounter issues using a Wi-Fi network, use standard Wi-Fi network troubleshooting to resolve interference and other issues.
    Verify the phone number or email address being used is the correct one activated for FaceTime.You can verify that you are using a valid Apple ID at appleid.apple.com. You can also create an Apple ID or reset your password from this website.
    Verify that both parties have installed the latest software updates for their Mac and/or device. See:
    Mac OS X: Updating your software
    iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    All the very best,

    Hello bigboza,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information, take a look at:
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3281
    If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
    If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
    If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
    Let it charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
    If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
    If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged. Learn more about charging iPhone and iPod touch, or iPad.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
    Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
    If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more aboutrestoring iOS software.
    Have a nice day,
    Mario

  • After downloading the new update for Firefox I can no longer get Firefox to respond. I can only get it to respond in safe mode. Why?

    After downloading the new update to Firefox I cannot get Firefox to respond. The only way I can use Firefox is in Safe Mode.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I updated to new version of Firefox

    Cannot believe NO ONE from Firefox is responding to this issue; particularly since I don't seem to be the only one with the problem!!!!

  • After downloading latest quicktime update, itunes store will not load

    Has anyone had this same problem after downloading latest quicktime update. iTunes store will not load.

    This happened to me today as well post installing the latest version of itunes.   I did a search on google for the error and came across a recommendation to :
    Note: Start Windows in Safe Mode to complete any of the following steps if you're unable to access Windows normally due to the msvcr80.dll error.
    If, and only if, you're receiving the msvcr80.dll is missing error when you open Apple iTunes, do the following: (skip this step if your msvcr80.dll error is occurring with a different program)
    Uninstall from Windows the following five programs in this order: iTunes, Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support, Bonjour, and finally Apple Application Support. If you have iCloud, remove it as well.
    Uninstalling these programs in Windows is done from an applet in Control Panel called Programs & Features (in Windows 8, 7, or Vista) or Add or Remove Programs (in Windows XP).
    Note: Songs and playlists in iTunes will not be removed when you uninstall the iTunes program or any of the other, already-mentioned Apple programs. If you'd still like to back them up, they're usually located in the My Music folder in Windows.
    Download the latest version of iTunes from Appleand note the location you're saving it to so you can find it once it's done.
    Run the iTunes installation as an administrator. If you're not sure how to do that, see How Do I Open an Elevated Command Prompt? for help. That procedure shows you how to open the Command Prompt program as an administrator, but the steps are essentially the same for anything, including the iTunes installation package you just downloaded.
    A general overview of removing and reinstalling iTunes can also be found here on Apple's site but the above procedure seems to work better in this particular situation.
