Android video playback on iphone

I received a video clip message (Whatsapp) recorded by an android user to my iPhone.  The video is distorted, but the audio is coming through OK.  The video is a bunch of vertical line-bars and not discernable.  Is this an issue at the sender's end or something I can adjust on my iPhone end?

theres nothing to adjust.  sorry
Peace, Clyde

  • Jumpy video playback from iPhone 5 to Mac Book Pro

    Hi
    I recently took some footage on my iPhone 5 and downloaded onto my 2007 Mac Book Pro via iPhoto. Unfortunately, mid download iPhoto became unresponsive and I had to Force quit.
    After restarting iPhoto I saw that the videos had not been downloaded so I started the process again. It was a seemingly successful download so I deleted the videos from my iPhone.
    Upon playback all the video's are jumpy. Other older video's all ready in the library are fine.
    It seems all the info is in there as each time I play a video back I see different parts of the video ie: the jumps are not all in the same place each time.
    Is it a playback 780 v 1080 issue?
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks

  • Video playback post iPhone 2.0 update

    Hey world,
    crazy I'm not seeing this problem posted. Ideas anyone? Since updating my iPhone with the 2.0 update, my video playback is audio only with a black screen for video. What's curiouser is that podcasts play back just fine. The problem seems to be with video that I've personally encoded for the phone. All of this video was fine prior to the update, which leads me to think that encoding parameters have changed with the update. Does anyone know anything about this, and if so, what those new parameters might be?
    Thanks

    All of my stuff and itms stuff still works on my 3g iPhone, encoded in H.264.
    I have used visualhub, handbrake and the elgato turbo H.264.
    I have no idea why you and some others are having issues.

    When I use my IPhone 4S to view the Shaw Go Movie Central App when I am at home I only use WiFi which is automatic, I start watching a show and sometimes I will get a message like "you can not use your cellular for video playback" or something close to that. Then I received an email from Telus saying I had used my 3G instead of Wi-Fi  using 75% of my data. How can this happen when I'm on Wi-Fi at home? If it switched to 3G for some reason I should have been disconnected and not just transferred to 3G network using up my data. What is the fix for this??

    It doesn't have to be that complicated, Verizon iPhones come unlocked, just tell VZ you're going on Holiday/Traveling and suspend the service, no need to pay for service if you're not going to be using it. Pick up local SIM cards in the countries of your choosing, pop them in, re-activate iMessage and you're set!
    I recommend getting a SIM card from the Three network in England, they have great EU roaming rates and free like-home roaming in Italy.
    Set your phone's region to match the country you're in, it'll save from some headaches when calling local/international numbers.
    To answer your questions,
    1. If you choose not to have a local SIM card, it is good to keep your phone in Airplane mode to save battery.
    2. Make sure the two iPhones have different names to reduce sync/restore issues.
    3. If husband has an iPhone also, you can chat with iMessage/Facetime, just give him heads up about the new number you'll have. Otherwise, use Whatsapp if he's got an Android. You can activate Whatsapp with your American number or the international number if you choose to get a SIM in Europe.
    Also, Get the MagicJack app and/or Google Hangouts, both of those apps provide you with free calling to the USA and Canada using any internet connection. Google Voice is another good way to SMS across the seas.
    Let me know if you need any more tips for iPhoning across the pond.

  • Video playback issues in Air for Android

    Hello everybody
    I am developing an advertisement application which plays multiple videos. I have faced a very strange problem: nor the simple Video nor the StageVideo are not visible when I run the app on target android device. I can hear the audio but the only way to get the video is to press back button and then get back to app but in this case the video goes over the UI. This happens only on a target device which is a chinese sibo android tablet. It has android 4.1 on board. I have seen a lot of people had the similar issues:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/5429125
    but the solution mentioned there - adding <containsVideo>true</containsVideo> to the manifest xml doesnt help
    I am using adobe air 4.0 sdk and the air 4.0 runtime on the device.  I have tried to change renderMode to CPU/Direct/Auto but it doesn change anything.
    The other three android devices I have - toshiba thrive tablet(4.0.4)/ eken tablet(4.2.2)/ htc desire c(4.0.3) play all the video content without any problem.
    Any advice will be highly appreciated,

  • Iphone 5 video playback problems over quicktime?

    ive recently got a new laptop, pre windows 8, and downloaded quicktime pro in order to play my iphone videos right side up because windows media player will play them upside down alot of the time. something i immeadiately noticed was that all my videos from my iphone 5, when played back via quicktime, have a big judder/skip in them every 2 seconds whereis all my iphone 4 videos playback no problem. the few videos i have that are recorded right side up from my iphone 5, because of orientation of the phone during recording, play perfectly fine on windows media player so this this leads me to believe it is a quicktime issue. i have updated to the latest quicktime just a few days ago with hopes of it being corrected but no such luck. im curious if anyone else is having this same problem or knows a fix? also if anyone knows how to flip videos with quicktime so i can just watch them on windows media would be great also. i found a write up how to do it but everytime i try it, after i save it it just reverts back to its orgional orientation. thanks for any help, Jamie

    Add me to the list of people having this problem.
    I'm running Macbook on 10.5.8. Quicktime is 7.6.9, in case this has any bearing on things.
    OK......I just searched a few places and came up with this:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perian
    It's called Perian, and it's one of a few different options you could use to solve this problem....I just installed it (free), and now the videos play without a hitch. It's a plug-in for Quicktime.  There are others that can supposedly do the same thing--look around and give it a shot.
    (Also, supposedly this Perian is no longer in open development, and may not work with the newest Quicktime update for the newest Macs, but, like I said, there are other options out there that may work for you instead.)
    I have a feeling my problem may have been due to my particular Quicktime/Macbook setup being a bit outdated, but who knows?
    Good luck!

  • Video Playback Android (Kindle Fire)

    I have been trying for several days to get video playback working on my Kindle Fire.  This is my first attempt at playing video on Android at all.
    Upon buildling my .apk, my video file resides at assets/cinematics/intro.mp4.  I would like to play this video full screen.  What I would really like is a step by step how to guide of playing a video in this manner on Android.
    Since Kindle Fire does not support StageVideo, I am trying to use flash.media.Video.  The code for playing these videos seem pretty standard.  However, I get absolutely no video playing at all. 
    Here is some version of my code although I have tried many variations:
    var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
    nc.connect(null);
    var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);
    var client:Object = new Object();
    client.onMetaData = function(metadata:Object):void {
    trace(metadata.duration);
    ns.client = client;
    var v:Video = new Video();
    v.attachNetStream(ns);
    stage.addChild(v);
    var videoPath:String = "assets/cinematics/intro.mp4";
    var videoFile:File = File.applicationDirectory.resolvePath(videoPath);
    ns.play(videoFile.url);
    I am not 100% sure the url I am passing to ns.play() is correct.  I have tried using also "file://" + vidoeFile.nativePath  but with no luck. 
    I have read somewhere that setting "Use Network Service" to false could resolve this issue, but that did not work either.
    I have tried copying the file to the File.applicationStorageDirectory and playing the video from there, but that did not seem to work either.
    I am also not real sure how to debug this issue.  What events should I be looking for?  How can I get some sort of error message telling me what may be wrong?
    Thanks for you help!

    It seems that you may be clicking the "skype" symbol on the tablet, which will take you to the skype homepage.
    Rather than doing that, go to the word "Apps" and touch that. You'll be taken to an app page where you can touch the "skype" app that is associated with your personal account.

  • Video Playback Fine On iPhone - Horrible On Computer

    Seen others with this issue. But think this is NOT talked about enough, therefore NOT addressed. Hopefully someone can help me ?
    Summary: Record video on iPhone, plays back great on iPhone ( A PHONE !!). Get raw footage to a computer, video plays back horribly choppy and audio out of sync (on a COMPUTER !!). Results for me are the same on ALL players on my computer. Others seem to have it play fine with VLC, but not me.
    Here's my stats:
    iPhone 4, lastest O.S., latest update.
    Computer - PowerBook (laptop) G4 17",  1.67Ghz Aluminum Last PPC Edition (Higher Res model), 2 GB Ram, ALL up to date, latest possible O.S., etc..
    Players tested with SAME horrible results - Quicktime PRO (default .mov file), VLC, iTunes, WMV, Flip For Mac. ALL latest versions for above computer at least, etc..
    I shoot some video (any length) with my iPhone 4 (which has no video camera settings, sooooo...IDK). Video plays back flawless on iPhone.
    Plug iPhone into computer, download RAW uncompressed footage to desktop via "Image Capture". From that moment on (if viewing on computer), the raw footage's movie file) video playback acts like computer can't handle its quality, (choppy, skipping lots of frames, timing horribly off, etc..). Reacts same way with ANY player I use. Actually VLC is the worse, it just completely chokes. Quicktime PRO will at least play it, just horribly choppy. ALL players are up to date.
    BUT if I burn a video DVD of it using Toast Pro, etc... then play it on convential DVD player and TV, it plays back awesome ! ALSO, if I "export for web" in Quicktime PRO and wait a amazing amount of time, I get a new file (MP4 or something), and that file will play fine on any player in my computer. BUT it is of a low quality, in which is BS that I have to go so low to view it cause I've played other videos downloaded from the net, or various places and they playback fine via QT or ANY player for that matter. Full screen, high res videos too !!
    So I ask, what is the issue ? And why has this not been extensively discussed here and why has Apple not at least publically acknowledged this issue and gave its official word ? Is there something I can do ? Why can't the iPhone have camera settings on it to allow me to lower its video quality ? Or more importantly, why can't my computer seem to handle a simple video file that is really NOT true HD (which is 1920x1080) ? Its honestly not even much above TV resolution (720 x something). My computers screen resolution is 1680 x 1050 dpi, and my video card is a ATI Mobility Radeon 9700, AGP 128.
    I could be mistaken, but I am almost sure I've downloaded and viewed movies (in file format) via QT that are of a highe res, better quality even and they playback fine. So can I get some clarification on this please ? Whats going on with the iPhones video capture ? Is it out of frame rate ? Or what ?
    Thanks for anyones time --

    Given the specs of your computer, I would not expect smooth playback of HD video.  You definitely lack the processor power and are fairly low on the amount of RAM need to do so.
    Hi mcsound, thanks for chiming in to help.
    I don't know if I agree with this. Mathematic reasoning just don't support this. I agree consumerism does though - lol.
    Playing HD don't take much resources, as my old xBox 360 plays HD movies just fine. But the real point is, 1280 x 720 is not HD, sure its a higher res than standard TV, but not by some overwhelming amount that causes issues like this. I can play other high res videos on this computer just fine, from DVD (which actually should be more taxing on the computer), and also from file (which is literally the same).
    The xBox 360 has less processing power and less ram than my old "out of spec" computer, and it plays HD movies just fine. Point to all this is, it just aint adding up. The first inclination I agree, is to go buy a new computer. But, if you do the math, there is no reason why a 1.67Ghz processor can't play HD movies. Cause actually, it can, my computer plays them fine in iMovie, and edits HD video and renders HD video and burns HD video, and real 1920 x 1080 HD video, not this faux HD of 1280 x 720. So see how this is not adding up ?
    RAM has nothing to do with this either. Playing movies from file or disc uses almost no ram. But editing film does for sure, and at that, these 2GB of ram I got has edited, rendered and made plenty of HD movies.
    Look at the screenshots I supplied, the before and during screens of the "System Memory" (RAM) shows that while playing the faux HD iPhone clip, it used only 100mb of Ram.
    So again, no reason to think it is the specs of the computer. I agree it could be the video card, or processor MAYBE, but again, why does other HD clips/movies play on this computer smoothly, while anyone taken from the iPhone doesn't ?
    If it is the case that the iPhone is just taking a amazingly high quality of 1280 x 720 (higher than other 1280 x 720 cameras for some other reason), then why in the world would Apple not give the iPhone a camera setting to allow us to pick "capture" setting optimized for the end result application we plan on using ?
    Either way, this is not ok, and either way, its funny how it gets most people buying into the whole "consumerism" thing. Which is the last thing we need. Don't get me wrong, I buy things like crazy, and will be buying a couple new computers soon, BUT there is no need for it to play HD or several other things people think. HD is not rocket science, and again, HD is old and was supported even when my computer came out. My screen resolution exceeds the iPhones video clips resolution !
    There is some framerate controversy I think, or something that the iPhone is doing that other sources are not. But I just can't find it out, and I find it strange there is not more talk about this.

  • IPhone 4 rebooting during video playback

    My new iPhone 4 is rebooting whenever I play a video. It can be a Youtube, a podcast or a video I recorded with the camera. Sometimes it does it a minute or so into the video, sometimes when the video ends. I am also getting artifacts on the screen during video playback. Any help? I have Genius Bar appointment this weekend to see if they have a solution.

    Went to Genius Bar and it was a hardware issue. Brand new iPhone 4 in my pocket.

  • How to prevent video playback from getting paused when switching to another tab on Firefox for Android?

    In Firefox for Android 27.0, if you play video in one tab and while it's playing you switch to another tab, the video gets paused. I want the video to continue to play while I'm viewing another tab (so I can at least hear its sound!).
    How can I do that?
    How can I prevent Firefox for Android from pausing video playback when switching to another tab?
    Thank you very much.

    Hi hamid_ss,
    Currently Firefox for Android does this by default with embedded players. Some sites go automatically to full screen too which may be what you are running into. Try it.

  • Need help fixing video playback on iTunes and worried it will affect iphone

    First of all, the black levels when playing videos on iTunes looked terrible.
    I looked all over on how to fix this..
    So then I installed the lastest nvidia graphics drivers to help with video playback
    After install my videos black level was definatly better, I think.
    But now all videos play wierdly in the corner of the itunes program..
    http://img36.imageshack.us/img36/8170/ituneshelp.png
    I need help to fix this and I hope this dont affect playback on iphone 4

    If exporting to i4 results in the same, there could be a problem with the movie itself. Try exporting to the i4 and replay the video. However if exporting to i4 plays okay on the phone, it's your Nvidia drivers. You can download the prior Nvidia drivers and downgrade.
    There have been dozens of cases where Nvidia drivers even the newest ones have made a mess of games, movie playbacks, even viewing Windows programs.

  • No Video Playback Whatsoever on iPhone 6 Plus

    I have an iPhone 6 Plus and all Video playback has recently stopped working. When I say 'all', I mean every possible way of playing a video on the iPhone will not work:
    Video's in my photo library don't playback (the iPhone will temporarily freeze when I click on the video, and then it will just display the thumbnail, no playback).
    All my Apps cannot play video (Safari, Chrome, Youtube, Plex, etc). Strangely Youtube will show as playing, but you only get audio and a black screen.
    If a restart my phone, video playback will magically start working again, but after a few minutes it will stop working (so essentially I have to restart my phone every time I want to watch a single video).
    This problem seems to have started when I upgraded to iOS 8.1.
    Anyone else have this problem and managed to fix it?

    no SIM card installed problem on iPhone 6 plus . There is three time one is erase my phone . Second time restart my phone . Using ios 8.1  now I can't do anything . When I do Reseat all setting there is always no SIM card installed . My sim work at my pad . My phone sim tray are normal please help how can I do .
    Can I do complaint to warranty?

  • Video shot on iphone 5 playback choppy on iphone 5

    When I shoot video on the iphone 5 and I play it back on the phone, it is choppy. This is a recent feature.     It was working fine until about a week ago ( that I noticed it. I have the 32 G phone with 22G on it.  Strangely, my iPad has stopped charging through a powerd hub it has used since August and there are some other weird things happening... all since the  IOS update.

    James,
    I have heard the same thing about processing power, but the answer was vague and no one has told me anything definitive yet. However, I a cant afford to buy a new iMac, as much as I dearly want a new one, but I did upload my pics and vids to my mother in laws iMac (almost two years old running Lion) and they worked just fine. Why does this happen?!?!?!?  I don't know. I thought maybe the OSX only allows iPhoto a certain amount of processor power, but I opened them in QuickTime and they produced the same choppy effect. Probably some bit of code they sneak into iOS to make one have to buy a new iMac/MacBook. I wish, for the both of us, I had a better answer. Anywho, good luck and Godspeed in all your endeavors.

  • Can't hear recorded sound during video playback

    I take a lot of videos of my kids.  I have noticed lately that the volume is low or muffled...you can't hear what is being said even if they are screaming 6 inches away.  I thought maybe something had gotten into the microphone, etc.  I recorded a voice memo and on playback i could hear what was recorded just fine at a normal level. Now once I tried to record a video of my kids talking, it played back so low that i can't hear anything and that is with the volume turned wide open.  Not really sure what this issue could be but if the volume works fine on voice memo wouldn't it work the same on video playback?
