Xperia Z2 :: Cannot Play Video Sent By Facebook Private Message - Invalid URL
May 16, 2015
My daughter sends me video via Facebook private message. This always worked before until the last sony update. I have just had another update successful this morning and I still get the same message the phone will start to play the message then about 10 seconds in say invalid url cannot play when the phone has just played some of the video??
My Z3 plays about three quarters of a video, then stops and says ;Cannot play video. Invalid URL. whats url got to do with a prerecorded video. This happens with the built in player and also vlc player.
Firstly, when I watch video on youtube about 4-6 clips - the error message appear: "Please touch to try again" - even I touch multiple times it still can not play.
Then, I go to the Video App (Sony), surprisingly, the video didn't play. It appear an error message: "Can not play this video" - I try with every single video on my phone and still has the same error message.
And more surprisingly, even the video on facebook have the same problem too.
So it must be like: If I watch video on any app, suddenly the clip can not play or just keep loading infinity, these app will be "infected" immideately (at the same time as well). The only thing I can do is reboot the phone.
I know reboot phone is just spend my little time around 15-30 seconds maybe. But it is very annoying to happen with very frequently.
Tried Facebook application, tried Facebook mobile and both gave me the same error.
Error
File cannot be displayed or played.
It also gave me the option to play with QuickPic which also gave me another error:
Cannot play video
Sorry, this video cannot be played.
I tried it on several videos one of which I uploaded from my phone and my wife could play it fine with her Thunderbolt and was quick to say it was because her phone was better than mine.
My message notification tone used to play all the way thru when I received a message now it only plays two seconds then cuts off I have tried changing the tone but they are all the same.
Whenever I upload pictures or videos to Facebook from my Nokia Lumia 920, they are set as private and nobody can see them unless I go onto a computer and make them public. How do I change this so that my pictures and videos are automatically set so that my friends can see the pictures and videos?
I am quite happy with my Xperia Play, but it received an update last week and now I notice that Facebook-related applications have now taken up between 40 and 50mb of memory. I do not use facebook at all and wish to remove all traces of it from my phone, but I am not able to uninstall it from the various Android application menus or even by using Elixir.
i tried many video players like mx video,mobo,vlc etc but none of them can play hd mkv video file correctly..earlier i had live with walkman and now i changed to neo v but problem not solved..so is there any compatible video player in the market?
I seem to be having a problem with my Sony Experia z2, I can take photos and record videos but when I go to view them it comes up with "cannot play video" and the photos won't load up(just a black screen).
I am unable to play video. This is video from any application I have installed, Facebook, YouTube, even video advertising embedded in games doesn't play.
I have tried clearing application data, I have tried a factory reset, I have tried using the repair feature in Sony PC Companion.
The problem persists regardless of whether I'm using wifi or mobile data.
Hi everyone, I just got a Sony Ericsson Xperia yesterday. I was in the process of syncing a facebook accout, but when i touch "facebook" it kicks me back to the screen previous. This is my second smartphone, so I have done this numerous times, but never had this much issue.
I just bought a new Xperia Play (C Spire) and tried to add my facebook account to sync contact pictures.It goes back to the list of accounts when you attempt to add a facebook account.
I keep getting the error can't play video or invalid url for videos recorded on the phone. Sony support told me to do a phone repair but it has made no difference.
I use my BB for personal use only. The email account I have registered on the phone is my gmail account. Just today, I noticed I can no longer send (compose new or reply) emails using this account on my phone. I get the following message in the email I attempt to send:
message status message included an invalid address
I can receieve my gmail messages on my phone no problem. My gmail account login information is correct on the phone.
I've tried searching for this problem but what I find always seems to be related to enterprise configurations using an Exchange Server and the fix was for the Exchange server. That doesn't fit my scenario.
cant use my video call using skype in my xperia play, i tried my video call on google chat and it worx, but in skype, the laptop of my colleague who tries to call me on my skype mobile, crashes, im using data plan/3g
Recently bought a Xperia Z3+. How come when I record a 4K video and then try to play it back does it come up with the error message 'unable to find URL'
Do you need to use the Internet to view a video you have recorded yourself if it is in 4K if so how come?
And why is it not using my Internet because I have unlimited data but I am downloading something at the moment does this prevent the video getting the URL if it needs it.
I've had an issue since the update with any video taken and written to the micro sd card producing 'cannot play' The meta data is there but the file size registers as 0k.
My problems to my phone after update to ICS are: GPS not working, ASTRO app as my official file manager was given by SONY for all xperia 2011 user after update to ICS, but it free version that means its come with advertisement, that app always pop-up and suggest the user to upgrade from "free version astro" to full/complete version. Can I uninstall that free app? Video player play video very good but doesn't has sound.
Recently my c905a has become unable to playback certain videos, the last 20 or so i have taken. The videos can be played immediately after recording, but later if attempted have a broken film icon instead of thumbnail and if tried to play the message "Currently Unavailable appears". This is not consistent however, a few videos in the middle of the 20 are playable. Their sizes are all varying, settings on each video are the same. I thought that they were possibly not playable on my phone so i moved them onto my computer - same issue, E.M. Total Player fails to open the videos. I hope someone can help me with this. I was counting on these 8.1 MP to record some good material for an oral presentation and final presentation for the chinese class i'm taking right now. I picked up great material, the base of the two projects. These projects are 40% of my grade and need to be presented in 2 and 3 days! How can i salvage these videos? Every video lists appropriate size, what else should i look for? How should i go about fixing this?
Not being able to play videos on Facebook when not connected to wifi? I can play videos on youtube whether I'm connected or disconnected from wifi but not on Facebook. Can only play videos on Facebook when I'm connected to wifi.
I took some videos last night when I went to a concert. My internal memory was getting full so it recommended moving them to the SD card which I did. Now I can't view the files and it won't play in any different video applications that I have downloaded. I reformatted the sd card after backing it up and still nothing! Why is this when I can see the files on my phone. They are there but won't play. I haven't done anything wrong! I literally am frustrated and want my videos back.
