online videos not not playing

Hi keshu1,



This is for the Lumia 525, right? Are you able to play videos recorded using the phone's camera or those transferred from a PC? Does this happen to all online videos that you're trying to play? Did you recently download or update any particular apps
prior to this issue? Have you checked if the phone's system apps are updated? Try to scan the QR codes shown at this link: Nokia Windows Phone 8 App Updates.



BTW, try to check this thread: Sorry,we can't play this type of file on your phone. The OP,
, mentioned that the online videos sometimes play when he disables the
HQ button. If you see the same button in YouTube or other online media player apps / websites, try to turn it off and see if it'll work.



For the cloud storage, try going to Settings > Swipe to Applications > Music + Videos >turn off the Xbox Music cloud collection.



Let us know how it will go. :cathappy:

And i have read this post also.It's quite same as a solution you gave me.

 

Have you tried programs like VLC? An excellent free video player that supports many formats.

 

Videos in apps including get started not working if I open videos using a 3rd party programme they are fine

waynegibns, the OP stated that videos would play correctly in the browser...

• Which file types are not playing? mpg, mp4, ...?
• Does none of these files work, or are some files of that type working correctly?
• In which programs have you tried?
