Can't play Lumia mp4 videos on WMP12 if recorded w...

Here's a fascinating issue.
I enabled 5.1 surround sound for my video recording, some time ago. The few videos I've recorded, I only watched back on the Lumia 830 phone on which, they were shot.
However, when I came to play them on my Windows 7 machine - 'machines' actually, since I have now tried it on four, with the same result - using Windows Media Player 12, the sound was absent and the video ran a probably double speed. It may be the sound was absent because it was running at double speed; I can't tell.
Obviously, one of the last things that occured to me was it was caused by my selection of 5.1 sound, so I did not happen across the solution quickly (and found nothing about it on the internet). However, after shooting numerous videos, in numerous formats, the only thing that causes this problem, in any mode, is switching on the 5.1 surround sound feature. It never fails to cause the problem, and never occurs with it turned off, for all available formats.
I have to conclude that this is a problem. Just to reiterate, all these files play on the phone, and may well play in other media players. I did not try to do this, since I use WMP12, so I don't care where else it plays.
Obviously, my solution is to turn '5.1 S/S' off, but I thought I would highlight the issue, and provide a solution, should anyone else encounter it.

Ive just transferred my micro sd card out of my Samsung tocco lite into my Nokia lumia 520 windows phone, the 520 will not play the MP4 video files on the sd card that I shot on the samsung and comes up with the error code c00d5212,the resolution of the MP4 photos are 320 x 240,according to the phone spec the Nokia is suppose to play MP4 files, anybody help please.

Hi jeeby,
Have you tried reinserting and removing the memory card? You can also see this link: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsphone/develop to know more about the supported video formats.
You can also try to convert it to another supported format using a converter software then check if it will work.

Gstreamer fails to play *some* .mp4 videos

Gstreamer is no longer able to play *some* .mp4 videos. Just until recently
(possibly update) that worked fine for me. I will appretiate any help with resolving this problem.
Videos concerning were downloaded from Youtube via the Firefox DownloadHelper,
so I suspect some of them to use some non-standard format feature. Also
ffmpeg-ing videos to other or same format works and converted videos can be
played by Gstreamer without problems.
This is the only download video I was able to confirm Gstreamer can still play:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0UbcngpDkk
It fails for almost every other, e.g.:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0ffIJ7ZO4U

LR 5.4 Can't Play or Import Video in OSX Mavericks

I copied several MP4 video files from the Lumix LX7 card to a folder on an external hard drive. However I can't import them into LR 5.4. Furthermore, I now see that LR can't play any video files (all MP4) that are in the catalog. The playbar doesn't even show up.
This problem came up when I upgraded to OS X Mavericks and upgraded from LR 4 to LR 5. So I'm not sure what's causing the issue. Was able to import and play videos before, but they played kind of choppy earlier.
I've since removed all Quicktime plugins (Perian). Made sure I'm using the most recent version of Quicktime (10.3). Repaired permissions and restarted. Still can't play or import video.
I've also reinstalled LR 5.4 and wiped preferences files. Earlier I couldn't import photos & videos, but I paritially fixed that when I removed the video files from the import folder. I was able to get all the images in fine then. The video seems to be the hangup.
In catalog: no video preview image, just grey, no playbar.
In import: generic "camera" preview image, says "Could Not Read Preview"
Any idea what I can do to get LR to play and import videos, or fix the issue?

Incidentally, the videos playback without a hitch in Quicktime. When I right-click on any of the catalog videos and select "Show In Finder," the MP4 plays perfectly in Quicktime.
It just won't play within LR 5.4.

Theres a program called Bluestacks app player which when installed gives you an Android enviroment to be able to download apps etc and use/play them on a Pc from this you can then install an app which can create a backup of the app in apk format for transfer to a mobile or tablet etc for installation via your file manager app

Can't play youtube music videos on facebook

hi everyone, i was wondering, am i the only person who can't play music-videos from youtube - on facebook? i don't have this problem on chrome [which belongs to google, and so is youtube..]
it started in the last few days, or weeks, before i updated my firefox. i can't play youtube music-videos posted on facebook from facebook, but i can play them only from youtube.com.
when i try to play a video that has music in it, i get this message:
"this video contains content from RECORDLABEL. it is restricted from playback on certain sites. watch on youtube"
i also sometimes get a message that a certain video can't be played from playlists, but i can watch the video from its page [i don't know if it's related..].
my friends who use chrome can play music-videos on facebook, and i tried for myself and it plays the videos and doesn't show any restrictions messages.
i didn't try on explorer [bleh] or opera.
so my question again is, do you have the same problem too?
i can play this video on facebook: [it's funny as hell, watch it!]
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=717vb7kLKKk
but i can't play this one on facebook, only on youtube: [and other music-videos, i can give you a million examples]

thanks :]

First, confirm that ActiveX Filtering is configured to allow Flash content:

Internet Explorer 11 introduces a number of changes both to how the browser identifies itself to remote web servers, and to how it processes JavaScript intended to target behaviors specific to Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, this means that content on some sites will be broken until the content provider changes their site to conform to the new development approach required by modern versions of IE.
You can try to work around these issues by using Compatibility View:

If that is too inconvenient, using Google Chrome may be a preferable alternative.

My E71 doesn't play any mp4 video clip

hey guys, my E71 doesn't play any mp4 video clip.. Someone tell me what should i do? Plz guys... I'm waiting 4 ur reply.

According to the Multimedia section at http://www.developer.nokia.com/Devices/Device_specifications/E71/ , your phone should support some mp4's. But the solution is to get a better video player. There is always Coreplayer, which is supposed to be very good, but which I have never used, and is not free. A poster here /t5/Eseries-and-Communicators/Nokia-E5-viewing-videos/td-p/1160745 recently recommended the free Divx player. Worth a try.

Safari 8 does not properly load and play any mp4 video

My Safari 8.0.3 on my OS X 10.10.2 does not actually load and play any MP4 video in-browser. All I see is the black loading bar.
I have not installed any video codecs on my OS X, nor have I tinkered with any QuickTime settings.

Perhaps a third parrty Safari add on that was compatible with the prior version of Safari but not 5.1 that's preventing pages to render as they should.

I can't play music or videos!!

I can't play music or videos on iPod touch 5! When I play music it pauses and plays by itself and then Siri randomly pops up and then goes away again. The same happens with videos on YouTube; when I watch them they randomly pause and my music starts playing and then Siri starts! I have tried resetting it and it is not insured. Please help?

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- dusconnedc/unpluf any headpohnes. Maybe headphone problem is causing problem
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

How can i get an MP4 video file to work in iMovie 08'?

How do i go about acheiving this?

Autoplay is not universally supported by all devices. Many smatphone data plans can't handle the burden of preloaded and auto playing media. There's nothing you can do to change this b/c mobile devices simply ignore the parameter.   All that said, why are you still using player plugins? You don't need them with HTML5 video.
