HTC Desire :: Software / Application For Playback Of Videos?
Aug 28, 2010
Just got my long awaited Desire. US Cellular CDMA Desire Version. When I playback a video the picture quality is terrible. The movements lag, big time. [B]With being new I have a couple of question, as to why this is happening or is it normal?
1. Do I need a different software (app) for playback of videos?
2. Do I need to download some sort of plug in?
3. Is it because, I don't have Froyo 2.2 yet?
As most of you have had the HTC Desire for sometime, as we just got them in the USA; I was hoping someone could chime in and help me.

I want to playback youtube videos on android. I came to know (from the below mentioned link) that adobe demostrated flash player for android, but they haven't released the code yet. Is there an alternative way to playback youtube video's on android? Is there an application that supports flash content playback on android already (though I couldn't find any on "android market" or related sites) or any development work is underway?

I need to store my how-to videos on a server so they play back on an Android app via a simple html <a href> link. So far, I haven't found one yet. Livedrive is out. Some web hosts are out because they don't want to be a place to store videos, etc.

I wanted so show a friend the new Lady Gaga video on my evo. However I noticed it wasn't available for mobile playback as well as a number of other videos. Here is a very simple solution.
Step 1 - You need firefox (if your still on ie, you should switch to firefox anyway)
Step 2 - Install Easy YouTube Video Downloader HERE
Step 3 - Once installed, load up your favorite music on youtube such as Alejandro!
Step 4 - You will now see a new set of links below the video as shown below
Step 5 - Click MP4 and it will instantly start downloading without doing anything else. I have tried the other formats and have found mp4 to be the best for the evo.
Step 6 - Once the video is down downloading, locate the file, connect your evo with data cable, make sure to select disk drive on the screen, open up the removable drive from my computer, make a folder called Videos, drag the file you downloaded to the folder, close the window and disconnect the cable.
Step 7 - Open up your Videos folder under All Aps, you will now see the video there with a thumbnail and you can now play it offline.
Conclusion - The only reason I did this was because some of the videos I couldn't play back via the YouTube app, but it is nice to have them saved so your not using data not that it really matters but will save on battery and loads instantly. I also tried 720P and couldn't get it to play on the evo but I think the MP4 format looks just fine on the evo (depending on the source of course) and it also doesn't take up very much room. Best part it it's VERY FAST to do this, no re-encoding or doing all this other crap to get it to play. It's plug and play.

I am a big fan of mythbusters and i'll bet that many of your are too. I like all those high speed camera shoots and i was thinking if would it be possible to make an app to use the camera to shoot high speed videos. I am not thinking like professional high speed video (those go up to millions of fps) but more like up to 1000 or 500. The desire should be able to shoot hd 720p video (lets hope with the next update) and may be would be possible to to make lower resolution high speed videos. I think the cpu is enough, but would the camera be able?

I'm using myPlayer to download videos to watch during my commute. Even though the myPlayer app recommends arcMedia to play the downloaded videos, I've found that the default Videos app works just fine, and is a bit better thanks to the Dolby Mobile sound.
However... after downloading the video to the phone, the video takes an age to show up in the Videos app's list. I can usually prod the app into re-scanning the SD card for videos my unmounting and remounting the card, but that's a bit of a pain. Does anyone know of a way of just getting the Videos app to have another look for new files?
(I know, it's not a major hassle to remount the SD card, but I'm an ex-iPhone guy and used to the 'it just works' way of doing things...

I was just wondering how people play their video files as I cannot find a media player on the Desire. I am currently using a file manager app and then selecting the file, but I would have thought the phone had some kind of standard app installed that would let me browse and play my content.

I use MP3's imported to 320kb quality. Lately my Desire is stuttering during playback, the song will stop for anything from a fraction of a second to 2-3 seconds, then carry on. I've reformatted my card and put everything back on but it still does it. Has anyone else encountered this? I'm sure it didn't do it originally, but lately it's happening a lot. I've read about the headphone socket occassional problem, but this stuttering occurs even if I use the phone speaker. Do I need a faster card if my MP3's are at this quality? I'd be surprised, because most MP3 songs available to buy are now offered at this quality.

Been struggling with this since receiving my X. Seems like no matter what player I use the playback is jerky. It's very subtle, almost as if the video is dropping a frame or so every second. I've tried the stock player, Astro, Rockplayer, mPlayer, Zimly, Act, and the list goes on and the problem still persists.
I've encoded (using handbrake) with all of the settings suggested on the boards and have tweaked things on my own trying to find the proper setting, but still no luck. The strange and frustrating thing is that the exact same files play just fine on my 1st gen iPod touch (clearly an inferior piece of hardware) and on my wife's incredible. These encodes are of standard def DVDs at average settings (a full movie is about 1.3gb, all h.264 mp4 files.
I was able to improve playback by rebooting the X and then playing the video, but this doesn't seem like an acceptable solution every time I want to watch something. I tend to encode and watch a lot of stuff on my commute to/from work, and I'd really like to replace my touch with the X, but the media capabilities are falling way short. Considering switching to the Inc as I know it's able to play my media properly, but I'd prefer to keep the X for the larger screen size (though the Inc does seem to feel better when using one-handed). I'm on the fence right now, but if the X can't function as expected then it might be going back. Unfortunately I only have until the 1st to return it so I don't think I can hold out and see if 2.2 fixes this issue.

How can I stop personal ringtones (like custom message tones etc) to stop appearing as a song in my song list, as they are considerably louder than a song and when they come blaring through my car stereo (bluetooth) its rather annoying.I use TuneWiki because the standard player will not accept my car stereo' skip forwards button, it sort of fast forwards, which is a bit crap, but oh well

during music (mp3) playback, the application will close part-way through a track for no reason. It might happen on the first or the fourth track, but at some time during playback the music will stop and when I look at the phone there are no apps running. I've been listening to mp3's for a few days now and I've tried using both the standard Music Player and the doubleTwist player but I keep getting the same problem.
I've tried playing music from internal and external SD storages, and I don't have any other apps running at the same time. I wait a minute after the player stops before re-opening the player and playing the same track that stopped from the start and it plays through fine. I found a few posts that discussed music playback problems for the Galaxy S and other phones running 2.1, but they all seemed to relate to actual playback problems (i.e. brief silences or pops and hisses during playback) rather than the player itself stopping.

Anyway I have a couple of video's I'd like to watch and the only way is through photo's widget/program I know there are other players on the market, so what I need is one that has good functionality like being able to playback with repeat similar to windows media player. Don't need a player that needs a browser open to function or using up system resources.

Just wondering if anyone had managed to get the HTC desire to play nice with a Bury cc9060 car kit. In relation to music playback (it handles voice calls wonderfully) But I assumed as they both use a2dp it?d work with music playback, but no joy. Just wondering if it?s something I?m doing wrong (the desire is not listed by bury in the compatibility list but as I said it works fine with voice (although it can?t read back texts like it could with a nokia)

I've taken a few vids on my Desire, but the 3gp format is pretty limited and what I'd like to do is play it back on my PS3.
Does anyone have any suggestions or recommendations about what software to use and what format to convert the 3gp file to in order for same size same quality playback on PS3?

I was looking at the N1 on youtube and notice it's picture gallery which looks so nice. I went on the market to see if they have something similar....and yes they do. It's called 3d gallery. It's so much better than the gallery that came with the phone. If you've heard of cool iris that's what it basically is now for your phone. It works fine on the DINC. If this has been posted already just ignore and delete this thread.
