Metro app crash: only video players like "Video", "VLC", etc

Only the video player app in the metro UI crashes to start screen when opening a file.
In the player UI, the browsing of videos can be done fine but when clicking on any video it shows the player interface and loading for a sec or two...., then disappears/crashes to start screen.
to my knowledge it seems to b some codecs issue. Doesnot recall what cause it. just one day it started acting like so.
how to fix it?

Hi,
When a Windows 8 metro App crashes, an error is logged in Windows Administrative Events.You can view the details of any app crash by launching the Event Viewer and selecting Administrative Events under Custom Views.
If some error log appeared, please post it here so that we can help you analyze them.
If you cannot find any error, please uninstall this app and reinstall it.
Also, download App troubleshooter to test it, which can automatically find and fix some problems with apps.

How to Solve Windows 8 Metro App Crash on Macbook Pro 2010 13"

There is a known problem
(See http://www.onebitzero.com/how-to-fix-metro-apps-from-crashing-under-nvidia-beta- driver-296-17-in-windows-8/ )
that many notebooks equipped with nVIDIA GPU and running Windows 8 will crash some Modern UI (Metro) apps,
including Game, Camera, Remote Desktop, ... apps.
My MacBook Pro 2010 13" has an nVIDIA GeForce 320M.
I installed Windows 8 Pro RTM gotten from DreamSpark Premium and Boot Camp Software 3.2 on my MacBook Pro.
Unfortunately, I met the Modern UI app crash problem.
I fought against this problem two days and almostly surrended.
Unbelievablely, I could solve it.
Yes. We can simply solve the crash problem by installing the latest 301.42 driver download from nvidia.com.
But it is not perfect: we will find we can't adjust the brightness anymore.
I also tried many methods, including modifies .inf files and change permissions but all are failed.
Except one for which I got an idea from Windows Event Viewer.
I found I got an error event when I launched the problematic Modern UI app. For example,
"Faulting application name: wwahost.exe, version: 6.2.9200.16384, time stamp: 0x50107c6e
Faulting module name: nvd3dumx.dll, version: 8.17.11.9682, time stamp: 0x4b884f8a"
(Attention! The following steps are at your risks.
Or you may not try it.)
The steps to solve the crash problem and simultanously preserve the brightness adjustment function are:
1. Download the latest 301.42 driver from nvidia.com. Then, click it to extract files to C:\
and we don't install it.
2. Copy the Boot Camp nVIDIA driver files from "13-inch MacBook Pro Mac OS X Install DVD,"
ie. this folder:
(DVD drive):\Boot Camp\Drivers\NVidia\Vista-Win7_64
3. Replace the older nvd3dumx.dl_ with the newer one.
I.e. overwrite
Boot Camp\Drivers\NVidia\Vista-Win7_64\nvd3dumx.dl_
by
C:\NVIDIA\DisplayDriver\301.42\WinVista_Win7_64\International\Display.Driver\nvd 3dumx.dl_
4. Follow this tutorial to turn off driver integrity check:
http://www.killertechtips.com/2009/05/05/disable-driver-signing-windows-7/
and reboot.
5. Install the modified driver by clicking
Boot Camp\Drivers\NVidia\Vista-Win7_64\setup.exe
6. Reboot your computer and good luck.

The method described above is too complex.
I found a more easy way to solve the Modern app crash problem.
That is to download the legacy driver 296.10 here
http://www.geforce.com/drivers/beta-legacy
Unfortunately, 296.10 and 19x don't solve all problems on Windows 8:

Metro Apps All Crash On Startup - I have read the other threads on this

UPDATE: I AM UPDATING THIS FIRST POST AS PEOPLE KEEP INCORRECTLY MARKING OUR ISSUE AS ANSWERED WHEN THEY HAVE NOT READ THE THREAD PROPERLY. AS SUCH I WILL START BY SAYING IF YOU ARE COMING HERE AND USING AVAST THEN YOUR SOLUTION WILL BE TO TURN OF THE BEHAVIOR SHIELD
FUNCTION. MORE INFO IS CONTAINED ELSEWHERE ONLINE ON THIS MATTER. THIS THREAD IS ABOUT DOMAIN USE OF METRO ON CLEAN INSTALLS WITH NO 3RD PARTY SOFTWARE. SORRY FOR THE CAPITALS BUT 5 TIMES HAVE PEOPLE MARKED AVAST AS THE ANSWER TO OUR PROBLEM WHEN IT IS NOT
EVEN INSTALLED AS DESCRIBED IN THE THREAD. I HAVE POSTED AN EXACT STEP BY STEP TO REPRODUCE MY PROBLEM LOWER DOWN
I know this question has been asked several times but there seems to be no-one that has a fix for it and it's becoming very frustrating.
I have installed windows 8 on my work computer as part of a test group to evaluate how the OS runs in our corporate space. The answer currently is not very well. The desktop side runs lovely but the whole metro experience is currently broken. This is the
same across all the people in our test group, not just my machine.
Scenario:
All users running windows 8 within our domain are unable to launch any metro (sorry - new style) application with the exception of PC settings.
I will describe how I set my machine up and the errors I receive.
The install is Windows 8 Pro that was a totally clean install. Installation went fine and very fast which was great. When required during setup I created a local Microsoft account - we wanted to see the experience for the majority of users who
do not have a live id. This all worked fine and everything worked as expected - including the metro apps.
Now that everything was up and working we joined the machine to the domain, this went fine and I was asked what local security level I would like the account to have - I selected administrator as I need to install all my software / dev tools etc.
After reboot I log into my domain account and start to install all my applications. I didn't retest metro apps at this point as it never crossed my mind that I would need to.
All normal desktop apps / programs installed I try to show a colleague the news metro app. The splash screen flashes up and bang straight back to the start screen. I proceeded to try every single other metro app and all have the same result, including
the store. Strangely they are all displaying notifications and updating the tiles.
So now I start to search the issue online looking at my event logs for clues to track it down. The following is what i find in the event viewer, I will use the store as an example:
Under "Windows Logs" --> "Application" : I get two separate error events the first reads "Activation of app winstore_cw5n1h2txyewy!Windows.Store failed with error: The app didn't start. See the Microsoft-Windows-TWinUI/Operational log for additional
information." The second arrives in the log about 15 seconds after the first and reads "App winstore_cw5n1h2txyewy!Windows.Store did not launch within its allotted time."
Under "Windows Logs" --> "System" : I get one error that reads "The server Windows.Store did not register with DCOM within the required timeout."
Under "Applications And Services Logs" --> "Microsoft" --> "Windows" --> "Apps" --> "Microsoft-Windows-TWinUI/Operational" : I get one error that reads "Activation of the app winstore_cw5n1h2txyewy!Windows.Store for
the Windows.Launch contract failed with error: The app didn't start."
I have tried the following to resolve this with no success:
Updated the registry as per a moderator suggestion on technet
Linked my domain account to my live id account
Tried changing permissions on C drive to allow all application packages full control
Install all latest updates
Tried to run from the local none domain account - same issue now occurs there
I am not willing to do a repair or re install after spending the best part of a day installing my programs and arranging my start menu too my desired layout. Also each user in our test group has the same issue with totally different software installed. The
only common item between the 5 systems is .net 3.5 has been installed in order to run a piece of custom software (a simple exe).
I need to try to find another spare machine to test if simply joining the domain is the root cause. If so this will surely be a big issue when it is actually release later this month as we do nothing special here in terms of our domain config. If it is something
to do with the domain Microsoft should be much more specific about what can and cant be done on the group policies if you want metro to run. There is no way we could roll this out to our users if as soon as they join our domain their entire start
screen stops working.
HELP!!!

Kevinio04,
We have been experiencing the same error in our environment; however today I have found a solution for this. I have included my theory too, as to why this was happening. Let me know if this solution works for you:
If you have recently installed Windows 8 Enterprise on a machine, put the machine on a domain and then used Active Directory credentials to log in, then you may have
experienced all Metro Apps to crash.
Theory for Metro apps crashing: Once the machine was put on the domain and an Active Directory user would log into the Windows 8 machine group policy kicked in (depending on what OU that machine was in). Group policy writes to the Windows registry;
therefore if you put that same machine in a different OU after previously being in a different OU, there are still traces of the previous group policy in the Windows registry. In summary, a new OU needs to be created in group policy specifically for
Windows 8 machines. The machines that are going to have Windows 8 installed on them, must start with a clean Windows 8 install. You can find details in the outline below:
GROUP POLICY CHANGES
Create a new Windows 8 OU with no policies enforced
Once that OU is created, create the following Policy:
Location of Policy: Computer Configuration / Policies / Windows Settings / Security Settings / Local Policies/Security Options / Audit: Audit the access of global system objects
This policy needs to be set to: Not Configured
Audit: Audit the access of global system objects
Default: Disabled
Description of this Policy
*This security setting determines whether to audit the access of global system objects. If this policy is enabled, it causes system objects, such as mutexes, events, semaphores and DOS devices, to be created with a default system access control list (SACL).
Only named objects are given a SACL; SACLs are not given to objects without names. If the Audit object access audit policy is also enabled, access to these system objects is audited.*
INSTALL WINDOWS 8 ENTERPRISE
Administer a clean install of Windows 8 on a machine
Create a local administrator account
Log in with the location admin account to put the machine on the domain
Do NOT log onto the machine with Active Directory credentials yet!
Put the machine in the new Windows 8 OU
Restart the machine
Now, log onto the machine with Active Directory credentials
TADA!

Freeze the video for about 3 to 5 seconds in all the media players (e.g VLC, quick time, divx etc). do i need to update any video codec??

while any video file is running , suddenly it freezes the video for about 3 to 5 seconds in all the media players like quicktime, vlc and div x and this thing happens frequently with video files.
it very hard to watch the video movie with this issue.

Idea about handling app crashes

Hi everyone:
Just want to run this by you and see if maybe someone else implemented it. I was thinking of a way to automate submissions of my apps crashes and came up with a method that will register for global unhandled exceptions:
//From application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:
NSSetUncaughtExceptionHandler(&MyUncaughtExceptionHandler);
and in that handler I thought to collect an exception info, pretty much like they do in the console when an app crashes, and then submit it to my web server via an HTTP connection using NSURLConnection's sendSynchronousRequest:returningResponse:error: method.
I'm curious if this seems like something that might work? And, will it not violate any bandwidth usage in the Apple's guidelines?

Since 4.4.3 call handling app crashes, only works very few times...
To reproduce the bug, just open in the watch the call handling app, click favorites and enjoy the app FC in the phone... Instantly!!!!

Smartwatch 2: Call handling app crashes

The Smartwatch app on my phone (Nexus 5) crashes frequently when receiving a phone call of opening the app on my watch. The phone shows a ANR (App Not Responding error) and the smartwatch disconnects and connects again a few seconds later, but my smartwatch only shows the waiting icon.
I've resetted my smartwatch, uninstalled and reinstalled all apps. I saw some problems with WatchIt! but removing that app doesn't help either. I've updated all my apps and the smart watch firmware. I've tested this on (vanilla) Android version 4.4.2, 4.4.3, 4.4.4 and Android L.
Edit: just installed Android L, same problem.

Video app crashing & Can't load videos to Ipod Touch 5.1.1

My video app on my IPod touch (4th Gen 64GB) with 5.1.1 keeps on crashing. I read that this is not an uncommon problem. I click on the video app and a white screen shows up for a second, then the app crashes and reverts back to the home screen. This is the only app that is not working.
I have tried the following so far:
Reboot by using the red slider button
Reboot by holding the home and off button for 10sec. Apple logo appears and it reboots
Shut down the video app after double clicking the home button and deleting the open apps
I even did a complete "Reset all Setting" and then used my ITunes back up to load all the data back on.
I tried to delete all movies on ITunes and load a new one. - won't show up when I search for the video on the IPod
I tired to down load a movie from ICloud - won't show up when I search for the video on the IPod after the download
In ITunes the videos that I try to load to the IPod show up on the right menu bar under movies, but they are grayed out.
The one thing I have not tried for obvious reason is the complete wipe and start from scratch by doing the reset from ITunes and loading all apps and setting to the IPod all over again. I was hoping to avoid that pain...
Now, I don't use the Video app much, and could potential wait for OS 6 that is supposed to come out in the fall. That might load a new video app. Unfortunately, I can't delete the video app as it is part of the original set up.
Any tips? What will I lose with a compete wipe and how long will that take?
Thanks for your help

I tried the restore from backup and it did not work. I think I'll just wait until iOS6 and watch movies on my IPad. Don't want to do the factory restore if possible.
Any other tips are welcome!

Ipad 2 crashes whenever video is played in ANY app.

My ipad 2 is now crashing to the lock screen whenever I play a video in ANY app. Netflix, Itunes trailers, YouTube, etc. No matter what the app, if a video is played it crashes to the lock screen. I've Hard reset, Reset settings, all of the above short of a complete restore. Anyone have any ideas, or do I simply need a replacement? (hope not)
Thanks.

Says IP Camera is my webcam. I'm gonna guess that's whats causing the crashes, but I uninstalled the program and drivers a while ago, before I reset my skype settings.
I was using it to try and use my phone as a webcam.
edit: On second thought, putting "whenever webcam is activated" in the title is not what i mean, i mean whenever Skype tries to access my webcam. Which doesn't exist.

Apple video app crashes when you delete a tv program

Every time on all my iPads and iPhones iso7 video app crashes when I delete tv program's or movies.

By "Main Website" I assume you mean via the developer's site. If this is so, your purchase would need to be taken up directly with the developer. With good will you may get a refund if the developer can be sure you'd also bought it from the App Store.
But you say also "with the same ID" ... and you would not need an ID to purchase from the developer.
A deleted purchase from the App Store can be reinstalled free so you should check your App Sore receipts to see if you have two (which I doubt).

Is there an app that allows for things like aperture effects on video recording?

Title says it all, I'm looking for an app where when video recording on my iPhone, it can focus on me, but blur out the background

I think it would be easier to buy a post-production app like iMovie, and edit that, then.

Updated my ipad to the iOS 6.1.3, only apps, music and videos were restored?! HELP!!

I don't know if this is a stupid or noob problem, but I did the update and everything, then after it restored from my back up, i opened to see my ipad in factory settings?! I finished the setup and all, and then i saw all my apps not in the folders that they were meant to be in, no app data, no camera roll photoes, no background images and passcodes. So my ipad was pretty much restored and backed up onky with apps, music and videos. Nothing else!! In previous update+backup restores, the ipad just goes back to how it was before being updated, with everything in place like how it was originally. Later I also tried restoring again, form an earlier backup, but that did not work either. Someone please tell me what happened!!

Hello Achates:
I did not read the rather long post. If you wish to reinstall OS X 10.4, use your software install DVD. Backup is essential. To minimize your risk, I would use an archive and install:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
In that way, you will have a fresh copy of OS X and your current settings will be preserved.
Incidentally, I do not agree that the printer problem is best solved by reinstalling OS X. I have had HP printers for sometime and, on one occasion, had difficulty after an upgrade. HP technical support walked me through uninstalling all traces of the HP driver and then reinstalling.

IPhone iOS 7 - Video app crashes/exits

Hi, on an IPhone 5S, running iOS 7.0.2, my 'Videos' app crashes and exits when I delete a movie. When I go back into the app the video has indeed deleted but the crash/exit is a hassle. Any fix for this at all? Thanks!

What is needed here is a little perspective:
SCC from NY wrote:
Hmmmm... Let me try to make it clear for you.
1. There is a problem, many of us have it.
3. Apple has NOT yet released a fix. The problem has been there since IOS 7.0. We are currently at 7.02.
Therefore, Apple is in fact ignoring it, and I really wish they did not.
You may think that "many" of you have this problem, but I doubt seriously that it comes close to the number of people that are reporting problem with Wifi, Messaging, and the ability to actually see what is on their phones or iPads. So, in the scheme of things, this is an annoyance, at best.
Releases that have come out up to this point are addressing critical problems.
2. Apple is NOT acknowledging it, there is no thread where they admit this problem exists.
4. There is no announcement of an update, nor is there any sign that this issue is being fixed or discussed or tackled by Apple in any way. So it has not been "fixed in an update".
Therefore, Apple is in fact ignoring it, and I really wish they did not.
At what point in the entire life of iPhones and iOS have you seen a "thread" from Apple discussing issues that they are working on to fix?
At what point in the entire life of iPhones and iOS have you seen an "announcement" of a versioned update?
Why would the lack of either make you draw the conclusion that Apple is "ignoring" it.
You really need to get a grip. Take a look at the longest threads on this site, and you will see where the "real" issues are.
