I gave up, I use Nova Video Player on Android TV, amazing app, it scrapes your movies and shows from tmdb and tvdb and categorizes them, it also syncs your watch history with trakt. Never looked back.
Why would you not use VLC though?

legit asking why Nova would be any better (apart from scraping)

Vlc is what I use on the shield. To rename and categorize, I use tv rename. It does list what you're missing which happens sometimes. I download the missing or corrupted episodes with Usenet.

Try Nova and you'll know why ;)

The interface is just amazing and makes your movies and shows look like a real library with posters, backdrops, episode names, descriptions and many more.

No need to rename or categorize anything manually, it just does everything for you, you just sit back, relax and enjoy!

I was under the impression that after jailbreaking, the original Media Player won't work. Is that not true?

There is an fpkg for it and it works, but it sucks compared to the PS3's media player tbh, very basic functionality and seeking sucks, it's more like jumping/skipping rather than seeking...

Yes....I have the Media Player fpkg...think it is v4.01. However, my movies always stop after 17 mins...and then need to restart app. Is there a fix for that ??
Thanx again for the help

p.s. I'm on a Pro running 6.72 and Al Azif's Mira (unofficial)

Don’t use Mira for a start, it’s unnecessary unless you’re providing kernel logs on the crashing?

That could be an issue.

Ok...so I should be using HEN ?

Update: I tried Hen as well....Leeful's 2.1.3b...and same thing happened. After 17-min, get kicked out to the 'Cannot play the media' screen and have to restart app. And really, it's not the 17-min mark of the movie...its after 17-mins of time...evn if it is paused for 17-min, it will get kicked out. I'm playing an mp4 from a USB external hard drive formatted exFat.

Anyone else had this issue with Media Player ?

Maybe I have a bad version of Media Player?
If I were to find another fpkg and install, would it overwrite this version??
Thanx in advance

The CUSA for Media Player is CUSA02012 so just google CUSA02012. ;)

The latest release for 6.72 is v4.01 by CyB1K. Install the A0100 pkg first and then install the A0401 pkg
If it says the application is already installed just overwrite it.

I've just started playing an mp4 on this version to test your problem. I'll report back if it plays longer than 17 minutes.

UPDATE: Its been playing for 35 minutes now without any problems.

Ok Lee...I'm gonna try a re-install tomorrow.
Did you turn on any of the License stuff in Debug? Also, my PS4 has never been on PSN...would that matter??
Thanx much for ur input.

Yes I have all the licenses on in debug settings. The PS4 has never been on PSN also so that should not make any difference. My profile is activated but again, this should not make any difference.

Did you find the right pkg's ok?

Thanx again and I'll try to report back on results:)

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the vram is one advantage when it comes to AI but ends up being slower even with that and really AI is the only use case that needs more than 12gb vram right now
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Interesting lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think I watched a video where two games at 4K where eating just over 16GB of RAM and it's the one case where the 7900XT and XTX pulled ahead (minus RTX of course)
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    So my opinion is that they could age a bit better in the future, and maybe AMD will continue improving them via drivers like they tend to do. No guarantee there but they have done it in the past. Just a feeling I have.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    cyberpunk at 4k without DLSS/fidelityfx *might* exceed 12gb
    +1
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that game barely runs at native 4k
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think it was some newer games and probably poorly optimized PS4 or PS5 ports
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    they definitely will age better but i feel dlss might outweigh that since it looks about as good as native resolution and much less demanding
    +1
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    When I played Cyberpunk on my old 2080 Ti it sucked lol
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    AMD could introduce something comparable to DLSS but nvidia's got a lot more experience with that
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    least amd 7xxx has tensor cores which the previous generations didn't so there is the potential for AI upscaling
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They have FSR or whatever it's called and yeah it's still not great
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so AMD seem to finally be starting to take AI seriously
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Oh yeah those new 8000 CPUs have AI cores built in that's interesting
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Maybe they plan on offloading to the CPU?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Would be kinda cool to have the CPU and GPU working in random more
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Tandem even
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i think i heard of that, it's a good idea, shouldn't need a dedicated GPU just to run a LLM or video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the nvidia shield tv has AI video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    LLMs can be run on cpu anyway but it's quite slow
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    Have you ever been beaten by a wet spaghetti noodle by your girlfriend because she has a twin sister, and you got confused and fucked her dad?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I had a girlfriend who had a twin sister and they would mess with me constantly.... Until one chipped a tooth then finally I could tell them apart.... Lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They would have the same hair style the same clothes everything... Really messed with my head lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    @The Real Jdbye, I could see AMD trying to pull off the CPU GPU tandem thing, would be a way to maybe close the gap a bit with Nvidia. Plus it would kinda put Nvidia at a future disadvantage since Nvidia can't make X86/64 CPUs? Intel and AMD licensing issues... I wonder how much that has held back innovation.
