Dear Antonio,
I'm sorry to hear you are experiencing these problems.
We have not received any other complaints regarding this issue. I also logged in and was not able to duplicate the issue.
Perhaps it was a temporary problem, or a problem with your browser or internet service provider. Please restart your device, install an alternate browser and try again and see if you still have the problem. You should also try accessing the content from another device to see if the issue continues. If a restart does not resolve your issue, then you will need to contact your internet service provider or system administrator as everything is working fine from our side.
For live assistance with this or any other issue, please call Customer Care at 1-888-549-3776 (ESPN) between 8:00 a.m. and 1:00 a.m. EST.

This is my reply to them:
Please note that every time I try to access your website, no matter what browser I use, I always have the same issue. I am running Android version 4.0. This is not an ISP issue it is an issue with ESPN.COM not allowed to play video on my devise. Please see the attached screen shot. None of your trouble shooting steps resolves the issue. Also I do not have any issue playing video from other websites. ESPN is not allowing me to view their videos on my devise. Please advise.

Ahhh just tested it and you are right, now wondering why it only works in this setup, it was not like this before.

Anyone know why any video by machinima will automaticly force close? That person posts the very best videos? Can a OP in youtube block youtube apps from viewing?
Is this the youtube app or youtube web that crashes?
If you post a link of a video that's been giving you problems, I'm sure we can test it for you

Only in the youtube app , try and search mortal kombat legacy for example, thx for testing it out to
definitely crashes. I've had this problem the whole time i've had my transformer. It will play in the browser but at no higher than 480p. always crashes the youtube app.
Yea only with videos posted by machinima ? and since broswer flash is so laggy with 720p I have to watch the videos in junk mode. Hope there will be a fix for this
Crashing for me too. How strange! I did notice that when I loaded the web version ,they have a LOT of link annotations at the beginning of their videos... maybe that's crashing the youtube app?

Ran into this issue as well, both in the native app and the stock browser. I found a link from a different user for the same video and it worked fine.
With the youtube app it is very important that you register the google id that your transformer uses with youtube (i.e. set up a new account if it doesn't already have one), Then make sure you are signed in when using the app.

This is my issue as well. Seems like a very specific bug too. I have had FC's on a smattering of other videos, but always on Machinima ones.
Edit: I decided to try the same video on a whim on my Nexus One and it works fine (even in HQ). This is definitely nothing to do with it being mobile, it has something to do with the HC app.
that explains...
...why whenever I go to the subscriptions page it crashes the app.
yup, unsbscribed and the app no longer crashes on subscription screen... browse to machanima and it crashes. wonder what it is about machanima that the android app hates...
You can use the JetVD application from jetvd dot com to watch the video stream from YouTube.

It crashes on all honey comb tablets (galaxy tab, acer, asus, xoom) within the native youtube app
Works flawlessly on the ipad 2 though
Is there a bug report for this somewhere that we can add some weight to? I couldn't work out what the hell was causing the crashes but now I've unsubscribed it works fine. Seems like a really odd bug.
Hopefully it'll get fixed soon as its one of my favourite channels.

has anyone else found any kind of fix for this yet? Machinima is the largest content of videos in my subscription list and I'm finding it increasingly annoying that I can't watch them in the native app.
is there a fix for this?
using tab 10.1 and having the same problem

The mortal combat legacy video frm Machinima is workin fine on my Eee pAd Transformer no crash !!!
ASUS Eee Pad Transformer B80
Revolver 3.9.5 + Stock Kernel
Tell me more videos will test and let u guyz knw !!! If u want !!!
So when using Playon Mobile app, I get a ton of audio sync issues no matter what type of video I watch.
PlayOn uses Flash which I have installed and uninstalled a couple of times. When I do a search for the error I see people saying Flash 10.3 is not supported on the Transformer (although why it installs if it is not supported is beyond me ;P).
I have a pending tech support request in with PlayOn but figured if anyone knows if solution to this issue exists, it would be people on THIS forum.
Thanks in advance!
EDIT : Oops...some extra info I am not sure if it is needed.
- Stock not rooted (3.2)
- B60 tablet version
- WiFi for streaming (25mb FIOS)
Ask if anyone needs more info.
Just thought I would update my own post with what a PlayOn rep emailed me today.
The video and audio are played by the Adobe Flash Player 10.3 app. In
other words, your PS3 is playing the video and audio correctly as it is
streamed, but the Adobe Flash app is failing to do that.
The audio/video syncing issue is very common on Honeycomb devices. It's
pretty common for android in general. When it happens you have to
completely remove the Adobe Flash Player 10.3 app, reboot the tablet,
and then reinstall the app from the Android Market. That should reset a
now correctly installed Adobe Flash app.
Once you have followed that process, try a video again. If it still
plays poorly then try playing a video in your browser through the web
app (m.playon.tv) to see if your tablet is handling Flash differently.
Please let us know if you have any questions.
Thank you for contacting PlayOn Support.

I enjoy watching videos that are hosted on my PC though Windows File Staring. MX Player plays them fine but does not buffer enough video to prevent hiccups in playback. This is especially true with very complex scenes in 1080p. Copying the same video to my device will play uninterrupted, leading me to believe this is an inadequate buffering issue. Pressing pause will not pre-buffer any large amount of video as the user might expect.

It's a well known issue. Since it's already listed in priority list hopefully the developer will improve it in next major version mx player v2.0

Version 2.0 huh. I was hoping this would be something that finds its way into [perhaps] the next minor update. Change some integer value from 50 to 300 and call it good.

Hello mrsdan1940: I don't understand your question. So let me gather some information to see if I can help you. Is your primary language English? Are you using the program MX Player for Android? It's a video audio media player for your mobile or tablet device.
Hi,
I have Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 with latest Android and I guess the latest MXPlayer update (just updated today). My internet connection is 50Mb/s. I use several online tv apps who use the MXPlayer. And frankly speaking it's a pain watching all of them. I contacted few of the developers and they said it's a player issue. Basically, shortly after I start any of them the player either hangs or stutter, or shows black screen. I tried all three types of decoding (SW, HW, HW+) but that doesn't help - they all have their own bad behavior and the end result is unwatchable stream. It seems the problem is mainly with content streaming over internet. One of the things I'm trying to watch is Waza Tv.
I'm not an expert on this. Just trying to get maybe hints on what I can set in the player to make it work better in these kind of situations. Can I change how much it buffers before it start playing live streams?
Thanks
You should post a log so that developer can find the reason of problem.

It looks like hardware specific. Can you post some link of any of these channels?

It's a pinned thread in this forum.
And unfortunately, network stream buffering is a known issue that the developer is working on.
Hello,
I am experiencing the following problem on MX Player Pro during video streams lately:
The player crashes and just closes on different points of the video.
Sometimes after a few seconds. Sometimes after minutes.
I always need at least 2-3 restarts to watch a 50 minutes video.
When I start the same video stream again after a crash the player doesn't offer me to start from last moment and just starts from beginning.
When I manually close a video stream and start it again MX player asks me where to start, as it should.
I don't have the same problem with locally stored videos. Other video player do not have the same problem with the same video streams.
Here is the crash report:
mega.nz/#!3Q1nyRLK!Y6W_pTECbP2EbyVJ1-bw2-_VNvD_Sa7rYq2NVbO4qu4
More Information:
Moto G falcon 2013
LineageOS
Android 7.1.2
I hope someone can help to find the problem.
Greetings!
I've got the same symptom - recently MX Player for me is becoming quite unreliable, having been perfect for a very long time.
I'm currently testing VLC to make sure it isn't an issue with my files.

Kindly share a bug report from MX Player help menu with us. Without proper logs, it's very difficult to identify the root cause of the issue. In most of the cases, it's caused by the connection closure on the server end.
I feel like this problem is solved, and I never got to upload my bug report.
Actually it still does for me. Using FireTV stick 2. and It once happened on my android7.0 phone as well.
