- I (successfully) watched several wmv videos earlier today, while still running the original OS. I have since updated to Os2 and have found video playback fails part way through nearly all the files. It also takes a few seconds for the file to start playing. I'm pretty sure it was near instant before. Has anyone else encountered this?02-21-12 12:31 PMLike 0

The only thing I could think of would be to reboot the device. This comes from trying to open a word document with WordtoGo and I received an error message indicating "A library error has occurred, please reboot". I did and all of my documents opened properly. Perhaps this would help your problem.
Alternatively, you could remove the video files that are giving you trouble and then re-transfer it over to the device. Perhaps the file got corrupted during the application of the new OS.02-21-12 02:56 PMLike 0 -
A reboot fortunately fixed the problem.02-23-12 09:08 AMLike 0 -
I had encoded Airplane and Puss In Boots with the same tool and with all the same settings. Airplane plays perfectly every time. Puss In Boots gives the same nebulous message as above. A useless message, too. Tell me what's wrong that I may fix it, don't just tell me an error occurred! Where did these clowns learn to write code???
Shoot, even my 5GB Divx encoding of The Godfather works...
I tried rebooting this morning to no effect. Perhaps I'll try again...02-27-12 08:10 AMLike 0 - I've just gotten this on one of my newly encoded movies.

When I did a security wipe I copied videos back to the pb in groups with wifi-sharing. Highlight a few and copy/drag to the pb. Did a few batches to get them all over. They all appeared to copy. Later tried viewing one - it showed the normal thumbnail from somewhere in the video so it looked fine. It would not play. I checked file sizes - matched the original on the computer. Erased it and recopied it. It worked. So for some reason, while it appeared to be a precise copy, something was wrong. Happened with a second video from that same restore operation. Recopied and it, too, then worked.
Given how loose the micro USB seems (a lot of side-to-side play), one wonders if there's something iffy about the connection.
Edit: No luck. Two other movies using the same encoding copied and played just fine, but recopying Puss In Boots just doesn't work. So I re-encoded it, and it still doesn't work. Unbelievable...Last edited by hytran; 02-28-12 at 07:38 AM. Reason: Update

Has OS2 broken video playback?
