Storm displays "Error playing this episode: (0) javax.microedition.media.MediaException/Error initializing media. Version 1.6.2

Podcast is Onion Network News, episode is "Obama Undertakes Presidential Internship"

It's likely going to be one of two issues, a corrupt download (you can try to redownload it), or a media file that isn't supported on your berry.

You can send me your logs after trying to play it and I can take a look.

Follow these steps to send the logs:
From the main screen, hit the menu and choose 'View Downloads'
From this screen, hit the menu and choose 'Send logs'
From this screen hit the menu and choose 'Send'

Logs sent.

Same result from other 100% downloaded from the same podcast.

I tried two other tests:
1) Selected "Play in BBMP" from the menu. Video does not play, unsupported type error is displayed.
2) Toggled the visibility in media player to true. Opened BBMP and browsed to the video, selected it, and it plays correctly, with sound.

If there is something I can do to help let me know.

Thanks for the great app!

Hmm, well that's annoying. Can you tell me what version of BB OS and model you're running? Also, can you post that feed url so I can give it a shot?

BB Storm Currently running .86, but the problem also occurred when I was running .85

I just downloaded 1.6.3 and the video podcast now plays, you must of fixed it!

The only odd behavior is that if you rotate the screen while the video is playing it doesn't fill the screen correctly.

[marwatk]

Well, good to hear it's fixed, though I'm not sure I did anything to correct it. I'll still take the credit, though

If you start the video in the right position, does it fill the screen then?
