N8 video player problem

Hi,

I tried putting an *.avi video on my n8 but it does not show up in videos. If I browse through File Manager and try to play the video it says:

General:

System Error

(I've never had this problem before the new Videos update, but again I remembered that I had no *.avi videos before.)

I don't know what happened. I've tried pressing power button for around 10 sec and playing the video again, but it doesn't work. Shows same prob.

 

And it only plays audio and no video on *.mkv file types.

 

Any help?

Re: N8 video player problem

I have had the audio playing but no video with a few videos... it is frustrating but I guess they weren't using the codecs that N8 is compatible with.

 

I also played a realplayer video and it lagged horribly while the audio played fine :smileyfrustrated:

 

I hope the codec support is updated in the near future.
