Can anyone get any videos or any podcasts other than youtube playing? - Nexus One General

I cant get any videos playing on my nexus one!! Sometimes they only play the audio and the video is a black screen! Youtube works fine but podcasts dont work! The myPod app (for podcasts) finds the podcasts fine, but when i click to watch the video of it, only the audio plays and a black screen. Same thing with a .m4v on my sdcard. Black screen with audio. Anyone else have videos working?

.m4v is apple protected file right?
I had this issue with downloading files from NPRs app. I was told to just change the file extension and it would work, but it did not for me. If you install doubletwist (in the market) I think this will solve your issue. I was just reading a review of the nexus from an iPhone guys perspective and he was gushing over the app and how it played ALL of his video files..

I have no experience with it (but I will tomorrow).

anyone else get videos to work?
why can the nexus one read the audio of mp4 podcasts but not the video, only displaying a black screen?

The podcats on Revision3 stream perfectly. m.revision3.com

CorePlayer youtube "Unknown file format"

Anyone else try the little youtube button in coreplayer? Any video I open says "Unknown file format." Why do they have a youtube player if it cannot play youtube videos?
I'm still looking for the best way to watch youtube videos.
Thanks!
But it can play youtube videos, at least on my phone.
Are you playing them through coreplayer itself? When I browse youtube through opera it opens the videos through the streaming video player, but not coreplayer.
I believe that some of the YouTube formats have stopped working in CorePlayer as YouTube have played about at their end.
Had heard that a fix had be built for UIQ, but haven't got around to looking to see if a new version is out for WinMo

Yes. I haven't watched that many videos (it's not a regular thing for me) but the few I've watched were all played by the coreplayer itself.
OT:
I do have some problems with podcasts. does anybody know of any good podcast client for WM.
Thanks, well I just bought it recently so will have to wait for an update I guess. Also, does anyone else experience freezes in coreplay when changing videos? It doesn't happen everytime for me, but sometimes it freezes and I have to do a reset.

It happened to me too, when i installed the wrong youtube app. Hard reset is the only way to fix it.
I have no problem with MM panel - works fine, plays music, video, photos. Video form camera, originally uploaded Bond trailer or Jazz Video, my .mp4 video - works OK.
I have also installed YouTube panel and I see no problems

Playing movies and other videos on the Nexus One

What method do recommend in playing movies and other videos on the Nexus One from what files to play, how to transfer them to the phone, and how to play them on the phone.
I browse my movie files on Astro file manager or the stock Gallery app. NemoPlayer browses music nicely too. However, a dedicated movie player would be nice.
I also noticed that it doesn't play all of my videos. It's probably because of the resolution.
I use the paid for version of Act1. The program from what i see only plays video. The program tells you what time it is ie. real time. it also tells you how much battery power you have left as well. When you open the program it tells you what files on the phone/SD card that can be played. What i do is make sure the video file i have is already in HD most of the time 720p or 1080p. I use WinX Video Converter to convert the file to MP4. I set the res to 800x480. The video file plays with no skipping and no problems. The picture also looks really nice as well. If i had to answer your problem about it not playing the file i would say that is before the file is not support by the N1. I believe just MP4 and H.264 are the only supported files. It plays the same thing a Iphone can play and a Itouch pretty much.
Is there anyway to play files other than mp4. Such as wmv?
Someone knows how you can watch a full screen video in the stock video player without the black bands?
Other phones (HTC Hero for example) have a button on the player to resize the video.
Thx

The default player won't do it. Act1 has a full screen option and it's a great app, as the previous poster detailed.
Thx! good player

Video in Locked mode?

Hello everyone,
Are there any ways to have videos play while the phone is in locked mode like the music player? Sometimes i can only listen to my videos at work and with the screen on, battery life can only last several hours. Any help please? Thank you!
anyone any ideas?
this might work.
A definite work-around is to convert the videos to .mp3s and play them via the HTC Music Player.
Not sure if you would like that, though....
that reminds me of a cab I have called youtube play. it has the ability to make mp3s of the youtube video as you download it. sucks as a youtube player, but this functionality makes it worthwhile.

Playing Amazon Videos on Android?

I buy Downloadable videos from Amazon pretty often and they are in wmv format. I already know It doesn't work with the video player, so I tried others like Rock player. But when I tried playing it, it shows me a mess of colors and no sound. Also I tried to Play another wmv file and got the video to play but got no sound. Does anyone know of a better video player replacement other than rock player that will play files like these with success? Or maybe even a way to get Amazon videos to play On android?
