Video playback only shows blank screen with audio?

[kenyee]

Okay...I thought I was fairly experienced but this has me stumped

When I think playing from the Samsung Media Hub, all I get is blank video but I get all the audio and subtitles.
If I hit the back button, I see the last video frame before the video player closes.

Tried JoeVLC as well as MX Player and I get the same behavior.
Avengers used to play fine just a few weeks ago.
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the video players.
I tried uninstalling any apps I installed over the past few weeks as well.

I Google for everything I could think of and only found one facebook Page that sounded vaguely like this problem but MX Player solved it for them.
Anyone else see this? Or better yet, fix it?

PS. Forgot to mention I tried rebooting the phone without luck.
Youtube and Flash in Web pages work fine.

No one? :-(

What kind of video are you referring to - something you recorded using the camera, or something you downloaded?
What format is the video?
Are you sure you have the correct codec installed?

Samsung's Media Hub app downloads...tried SD and HD. I think it's MP4 IIRC, but they DRM'd it somehow (checks over network before allowing you to play).
How do I check whether a codec is valid for it? As I mentioned, it used to work...I wanted the Avengers movie on it a few weeks ago.
