Hello darksyde999r,
What type of files are you trying to play? Where are these files coming from? Also here are supported media formats on the BlackBerry smartphone(make sure the encoding is correct): http://bbry.lv/bEf5x3

Flash CS5 unable to play .FLV files on Macbook Pro

I have a colleague who is trying to put together a Flash package for me on her macbook pro. It needs to play an flv file. She is unable to play flv files on her computer either in Flash or using the Adobe Media Player. I have no problem playing the same files on my macbook pro, we're both running the latest OS and have version 1.8 of Adobe Media Player.
She went to the Adobe site to download the latest version of Adobe Media Player, hoping that might include whatever component is missing on her system. Because of Adobe's decision not to distribute AMP that didn't help. She has Flash Professional CS5 11.0.2 on her system. When she imports an flv video into a Flash project and tries to play it she gets an error message saying it can't stream the video. Note that the video is on her hard drive, it is NOT on the internet so no streaming should be required.
The actual error message is: "the video player is in the connection error state. It enters this state when a video stream attempted to load but was unsuccessful. There are two possible reasons for the error: no connection to the server or the stream was not found."
Since it's a file on her hard drive, and she has loaded the file into the Adobe development environment successfully, the one thing we know for certain is that neither of these reasons is correct. Something is obviously missing on her system, what is it and what can we do to fix it?

I'm getting error too (Error #2044: Unhandled NetStatusEvent:. level=error, code=NetStream.Play.StreamNotFound). I'm getting this with CS5. This file was previously made in CS4 and never got this error.
Everything (fla and flv too) is on external hard disk.
As this work requires to be exported to mov, I've found out that everything needs to be on the mac (don't know for pc), like on desktop.
So, let me wrap up disadvantages I got with Flash CS5:
- TextField.embedFont makes the font disappear in CS5, so I can't use it, so I can't "play" with text in a comfortable way (in CS4, with embedFont = true, I was able to rotate and stuff). Now I have to make a bitmap out of it. It means 3 lines of code and a new variable, instead of just an easy one.
- I have to rebuild my entire source path structure for AS classes, as my old one (that took me years of effort to be reasonable and used to work just fine in CS4).
- I have to move stuff from my hard drive to the desktop, to make flv be played and to make a mov out of my animation.
CS5 is making my job harder and making me lose a lot of time to find out errors that have no good reason to exist (it was not error. just "place CS5 doesn't like").

N8 Unable to play media clip from micro SD

Hi All,
I've seen this about a couple of places but there don't seem to be any solutions out there.
I've got a 32gb micro SD card in the N8. Everything seemed fine to start with, but after the first 3 videos I watched now if I try to play videos off the SD I get "Unable to play media clip". Sometimes if I remove the file and then copy it back over to the card it works, but obviously this is quite frustrating.
If I copy these files to the phone's internal memory then they play fine.
I would appreciate it if anyone has got any ideas on this.
Cheers,
Stephen

Dear Stephen
i had the same problem.
i've bought a 32GB microSDHC Kingston, and i realized dat no movie could have been played...not even videos taken by the mighty Nokia N8.
i formatted it inside of N8...and on my PC but nothing worked really.
Then....i found the solution, and it's working like a chaaaaaaaaaaaarm.
on Windows 7...right click on My Computer..Manage...Disk Management...then choose the memory card from there and format it using FAT32 , quick format and Allocation Unit Sizeas 16kilobytes! dont choose default nor 32kilobytes! ok?
then the process of formatting will begin and it will take around...2 hours! yes 2 damn long interminable hours formatting ur memory card...once finish....u can enjoy having a powerful 32gb microsd on the mighty marvelous Nokia N8.
PS: if u want to fromat by right clicking on the memory card and chooseing format...it wont work. u gotta pass through disk management processing.
good luck
waiting for ur feedback!

Unable to play wmv files in my nokia X6

I was previously able to play wmv files on my nokia x6 initially. I believe that after upgrading my firmware, I am now not able to play WMV files. Whenever i try it gives error as " unable to play media clip"
I have tried to format the phone to factory default but the problem still persist.

What version of Authorware are you using?
Assuming Authorware 7, linking to a .wmv should require the
movie icon
to use the Windows Media Player control, which should allow
the .wmv to
play as it does on your desktop. If this isn't happening,
perhaps try
renaming the extension to .wmp and re'import' into
Authorware? Maybe
that will force the WMP engine to start.
There's a sample on using the WMP ActiveX control here:
http://www.awaretips.net
which is a little dated, but may be worth downloading and
trying with
your movie just to see if that approach works.

Unable to play media clip - N97

Hi
I wonder if anyone can help me. I've got some videos on my phone (both MPA and 3GP) which used to play ok. All of a sudden every time i try to play one of the videos i keep getting the error message:
unable to play media clip. This happens via RP, File Manager or Videos & TV
Can anyone offer any advice to solve this problem?
Currently still on v11, which is another issue on its own. PC want allow me to update via NSU or NOS, keep getting an 'Internal Error' message so stuck on v11 unless i send my phone away for SIX DAYS while they update the firmware.
Any help would me much appreciated.

If you are willing to go through the hassle of reloading your contacts, bookmarks, email settings, internet settings, losing messages, etc.
A reset may be able to fix the problem.
*#7370# on the dial pad will initate the reset.

Unable to play .mkv files

I used to be able to play .mkv files with VLC Player just fine before. After I started using Boot Camp with Windows XP, I am unable to play such files because I get an error message saying this computer is too slow to process the video. I'm trying to play 720p movies, but haven't been able to on a 2.2 Ghz MBP with 2 Gigs of ram. So, if anyone has a solution, please post! Thank you!

Any other video works. I tried launching vlc with --no-video and then sound channel works. Both totem and vlc gives Segmentation Fault in terminal.
I remember when I installed vlc, it asked whether I will use gstreamer or phonon, I did choose gstreamer. Now I tried reinstalling vlc and it didn't ask for that anymore.
Ok, I tried opening other mkv files and they worked (I don't know why all the time I thought that the file is 100% ok, apparently it wasn't). But that file was similar to any other files (just a new episode of one TV show).
P.S. I noticed that I can open that file with Windows and there are audio bugs, but It shows video well... Ahhh, the most important is that video codecs are fine on my arch, so let it be so!
A strange bug, but if it's like that only with one wrong file, then it's ok. Sorry about bothering you here about my strange file

Real Player pc to E71: unable to play media clip

First post here and hello to all members So I don't really understand my problem. I downloaded a short clip (a sample) on my computer by using Real Player SP then I converted it by using Real Player's dedicated settings for "Nokia E71". It plays (converted and not) on my computer so I transferred it on my mobile. Real Player was not able to play it "unable to play media clip". Could any one please advice me what is the problem? Thanks in advance.

While I don't do video editing, I do use two downloading extensions in Firefox and both offer multiple video formats to chose from when downloading. One is "DownloadHelper" and the other is "Flash Video Downloader." While each has its own website, you should download them from the Firefox extension website since what's presented there has been vetted by Mozilla. The links are http://www.flashvideodownloader.org/ and https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/downthemall/ so you can see if they'll offer what you need.

"An Error has occurred attempting to play media "File Name"

So recently I got a new phone, my first phone! Proud and all, I just recently purchased a media card to start storing and listening to music.
I am now unable to play any sort of media, sound or ringtone. The media card seems to not have anything to do with it. I also don't think it is file format, because videos that I can take with my phone are not able to be viewed.
I have a BB 8520. thanks for your help!
Edit: v5.0.0.900 (Bundle 1626, Platform 5.2.0.096

My son had this problem last week and it turned out he had download an app(rok tv) that was continuosly buffering as it couldnt load and this stopped the video or music being able to play..I conected it to my laptop removed the app rebooted and now it works fine..Maybe worth checking.

Unable to play AVI files with Quicktime

I installed Perian and the xvid codec but still cannot play all AVI videos in QT. Not really a problem since I have VLC. However it would be nice to be able to play AVI files in QT as well

AVI container can accept a real mess of codecs, not all of which are provided in Perian. Use a utility such as
Media Info - http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net - to get details of codecs used in multimedia
to see which video codec is used and compare it with the list on Perian's web site.
