Is anyone else having trouble streaming videos in the browser or YouTube app. It loads to a certain point of the video and then takes forever to load the rest if at all. I should not that my Netflix app does not have this problem. It is on both WiFi and LTE which this occurs.

Does the audio still play, but the video freeze? That's what is happening to me.

Hey guys.
I'm loving my Nexus 5. But I use xbmc on a daily basis for streaming movies and TV shows from icefilms and navi x.
I've been trying to play some videos and every video I have played so far has cracking in the audio and the video is very stuttery. This is the same on different sources and 720p and lower quality video.
Can anybody else test this or advise on anything that could help fix it?
Surely its not the Nexus 5 specs causing the problem.
Regards,
Adam

Definitely not a hardware limitation. Maybe your internet streaming bandwidth isn't enough for HD streams?

Wait for support from xbmc to make it work on 4.4. It's just google changed a few things with regards to API's in 4.4

I've tried lower res aswell. Its the same. I've not had probs streaming HD with any other phone anyway.
Think it's like poster above suggests, changes in 4.4 maybe?

I have the same issue with my Samsung note 10.1 2014 on Google 4.3.

Do you also have problems while watching videos that are saved on the phone or YouTube video's? I noticed some stuttering while playing video's as wel but it doesnt stem to be limited to one app.

Went through same issues with a different Snapdragon 800 device and did a lot of testing. Though not perfect monthly build version 13.0 alpha 7 appears to be the most usable of the bunch. Give this a shot:
http://mirrors.xbmc.org/snapshots/android/xbmc-13.0-Gotham_alpha7-armeabi-v7a.apk
Are you using nightly builds?
Every Chanel of xbmc has stuttering from image to sound. Gotta try the new build.

I'm using the latest nightly (xbmc-20131211-210cf9f-master-armeabi-v7a.apk) from the 11 December from http://ftp.heanet.ie/mirrors/xbmc/nightlies/android/arm/
Most of the add-ons do not work but I haven't had any issues with sound on video playback.
I've been watching some YouTube on NY nexus 5 and I've been watching it on HD and it always seems to buffer and my nexus 4 never did that, I might understand if it is 1080p, is it?

Can't be 100% sure but it seems to be for me.

Pretty sure YouTube only streams to phones in 720p and only modified YouTube apps can allow 1080p playback.

Yeah there's a thread with a modified YouTube app in the Android Development section of the forums. Only thing about it is that it's the old YouTube app, not this new one.

buffering issues have very little to do with bandwidth. I get around 70mbits download and I still get hit with buffer. There are some issues with the way youtube handles traffic. I have heard of solutions involving blocking certain ip/ports and also clearing your cache uninstalling and re-installing the youtube app. It's pretty lame
This is how I noticed that my WiFi connection was always slowing to a crawl. Toggling WiFi off/on returns speeds to normal.

So when I stream videos online and video is shorter than 5 minutes it works perfectly fine. Netflix works. YouTube works.. But when I try and stream a video online and watch it with mx player or any other player and the video is longer than around 5 minutes it starts to freeze and will not play. Plays super choppy. Any help?

Maybe an issue with that player?
Have you tried using a different video player?

Yes I have. Used at least 3 other ones. Plus you would think mx player being one of the top wouldn't have that problem anyway. Sucks cause I don't get to watch videos longer than 5 minutes basically.
And another thing is I can't even start the video over and skip to the part it freezes at cause it automatically stops or plays all sketchy.

Can anyone else confirm that the video attempts to load, stops, and then says failed?
The same exact thing happens to me!!! I posted this a few days ago but they moved my thread. I get an error message every time I fast forward or rewind a video. Basically once I stop a YouTube video I can't start it back unless I'm on WiFi.

suspect it is a YouTube problem, changing the proxy settings in the dialer data area doesn't really do anything.
I'm just going to use Viral YouTube pro, it works better and you can force 720p video on lte or 3g and fast forward.
same here, strange
I downloaded viral YouTube pro. Love it!

Is this Viral Pro by Mata?

Yep that is it. The popup feature is buggy, but overall the app runs better than standard YouTube in my opinion.

When I try to play a movie it just goes to the loading screen and never plays. Turing to use mxplayer. Anyone know why it isn't working?
Sent from my SM-G920V using XDA Free mobile app
Maybe the internet speed is slow or you download the movie and use mxplayer to watch it
I'm downloading one but it's taking forever. I stream Netflix just fine.

Maybe the server side of Show Box is overloaded. Give it sometime, it will improve.
Bummer. I had high hopes for this app :/ first time I've used it and it doesn't work.
