I am running CleanROM 5.5.1 and am having trouble watching Google Play Movies. The show/movie will freeze at the 9 second mark. I've flashed CM10 and Jelly Beans Build 7. CM10 works without a problem. Jelly Beans has the same issue as CleanROM. Reading other threads, it seems to be an issue with the DRM (CM10 removed the DRM so it doesn't look for it). Sprint and AT&T threads suggested using a different ROM. Problem is, I like CleanROM the most. I'd rather not have to flash to CM10 just to watch a tv show or movie. This also seemed to be limited to the GSIII for some reason. Other phones and tablets are not running into this issue.
Therefore, two questions. 1) Does anyone know of a workaround? 2) Is there a ROM similar to CleanROM that Google Play Movies works on?
Thanks!

Hello,
I just updated my tf101 to ics (ota official). On Honeycomb I think the YouTube app was the app I used to most, it could play HD content at full fps and there were no problems. Fast forward to ICS where every video either skips or lags when a lot of things are moving around on the screen. This has made the youtube app unusable.
When I still had CWM i was also using ICS roms, but they had the same problem, so, I went back to honeycomb and it worked fine again. For some reason I thought the custom roms were to blame so I tried the official ota.
So to my question, is anyone else having these problems? And if so did you solve it? Also, is there an alternative to the youtube app? (I have tried the web version but it's waaay slower than the app at playing video).
Thanks!
No problems here. You could try to goto Manage Apps and clear the cache for YouTube...and then if that doesn't work also clear the data. That would be the first step in trouble shooting.
for my case, is the 720p mkv files lagging, for youtube i notice some stuttering , not anything that obvious though. BTW many have reported video performance dropped dramatically on the ICS
So there is no way to fix this? I tried to download a trailer and it lags as well. So it is not just the youtube app. Shouldn't the tf101 handle videos pretty good?
I tried everything and finally...
I uninstalled adobe flash player, and it stopped skipping around. Wondering if there is a system conflict on this tablet as there is sometimes w/ desktop versions of google and the conflicts between shockwave and flash player... oh well, it worked. Super frustrating.
Hulu Plus is having issues on my P5113 device running custom ROMs, however, the issue is not present when running ICS or jellybean stock roms.
What's happening is that the video will basically shrink down to a half inch bar as is visible in the attached photo. The issue will persist until Hulu is either minimized or it switches to commercials, after which point the video playback will appear normal for a few moments and then the issue will return.
Ive tried all sorts of different ROMs: CM, PA, AOKP, but the issue occurs on all of them. I have also tried tinkering with some of the developer options like forcing GPU playback and disabling HW overlays, but nothing has worked. I am currently running the latest version of hulu available from the Play store, but i have also tried older versions. BTW, there are no sound issues and this issue does not occur in other video playback apps such as Netflix.
I tried searching for this problem, but did not come up with anything. Is anyone else out there having this same issue, or does anyone know what might solve the problem?
Thanks for your help!

Having the same issue here, on my p3113 running cm 10.1. I installed the modded hulu from the posdt above, but the video quality in the app is terrible. Unless I'm doing something wrong? Any help would be awesome as I love this ROM, but really love hulu more haha.
Anyone have success getting HBO Go to play video on 4.3 roms? I can log in, then see what's available, but when I try to play something I get kicked out. I'm running CM10.2, latest nightly. The Play store doesn't even have a compatible version of HBO Go for my phone, but I have version 2.1.11 running. Any wisdom out there?
The app updated 2 days ago, works now. I think it was a 4.3 problem, but now I'm good to go!
Hello, when I attempt to play a YouTube video, it starts to spin but then just goes to the play button and when I tap it, it fails. When I play it on the browser I get an error that the video cannot be played. This seems to happen on whatever ROM I use that isn't based on the stock firmware. I am currently running Droid Kang v5 clean install. The few threads I have found that people have described my issue lead to no solutions. I figure this is a KitKat thing right now, I was wondering if anyone else suffered from this on their Nexus 5.

Hello, I am running ViperOne 4.3 now and I absolutely love it. I was wondering if any one else is able to record video while playing music as prior to this (locked, not rooted, and stock 4.3) I was able to do so. I did not check this with 4.4 but then again I only ran it for one day before I found this amazing rom.
Anyways, if anyone has figured this out or if it could be added to future updates please let me know!!
Thanks,
