Artifacts on video playback - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Guys,
I have this weird issue where I get artifacts during video playback, be it mp4 videos that I copy to my Nexus, videos recorded with the cell's camera, and even YouTube videos! Here's a sample:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Is anyone experiencing this kind of issue as well? My Nexus has KitKat 4.4.2 (KOT49H), and I have ART enabled.
Any help on solving this issue is really appreciated.

Nobody here? Really?

Bump!

Unbelievable. One week and not even one comment.
Nobody's having this issue at all??

Nope

Are you 100 percent stock Google
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Yes, Mark, 100% stock Google; no custom ROMs, no root, no unlocked bootloader, etc.
I switched back to Dalvik and it seems like the issue went away, but I got it back after a few hours. So no matter what runtime is enabled, the artifacts show.
I installed MX Player last night, and it works perfectly with software decoder only; but if I enable the hardware decoder, I get the same artifacts. Using this doesn't solve the problem on YouTube, of course.
I guess I'll have to do a factory data reset and see if that solves my problem. Darn.

Well, I factory reset my phone twice, and even formatted cache, all to no avail. I'm still having this freaking issue.
Anybody has experienced this problem? Any possible solution?

Are you by chance plugged into charger when playing video?
It looks like graphics over heating to me, maybe too heavy a case, ambient temperatures or something along then lines perhaps?

Plugged, unplugged, it's the same.
Curiously, I disabled HDR+ on the camera app and YouTube isn't showing the problem anymore. But it's too early for me to say that's causing the problem.
However, IMDb is showing lots of artifacts on the trailers (embedded youtube, I think); I just played The Hobbit 's trailer and it's full of them. But the same trailer is perfect on YouTube. Same issue on Tapatalk with YouTube videos.
Biggest problem is this issue also occurs when playing local videos, being an mp4 I copied to the phone or a video recorded with the camera.
It's gotta software, though, cause MX Player does not have this issue when playing any local files. But it really bugs me.

your GPU is bad get it RMA'd i have a strong computer experience and id say your GPU is bad ESPECIALLY when you caught it on a screenshot if it was software it wouldn't show on a screenshot but it did and guess what part renders screenshots? GPU..

A screenshot captures everything on the screen independently of the source of the problem, be it software or hardware.
Biggest problem is this issue is not occurring on YouTube anymore. And a hardware issue will occur not only on videos, but on games too (which are perfect), and pretty much everywhere.
I'm on 4.4.2 now. Is it possible to go back to 4.4.0? I'm having the feeling that the ROM installed on this phone came with the problem, and subsequent updates did not overwrite the troublesome files.

In my case, it seems to be the video player system app, which does not show in the list of apps; if it did, I would already have cleared its cache at least.
I'm really bugged by this issue, man; my phone is almost "perfect". I'm downloading the 4.4 image; I'll downgrade back to original stock to see if that finally fixes this issue, and then just let the 4.4.2 OTA get installed by itself.

None of this worked.
Could someone share the video player system app, please?

STOKED!!!!!
thank you, zokipirlo. this is a great contribution to the android market.
Sounds like Plex, although it does allow you to download.
It doesn't work too good, I got a lot of garbage frames, big boxes of colors and stuff. My PC is fast enough so I don't think it's a problem with the encoding speed.
Also I found a bug, You cant add an entire hard drive letter, on the server it shows like C:/\ and on the app itself it shows C:\\ and when you enter it shows nothing.
I hope this app get better because I miss Air video from my iphone.
Also, could you make MKV embedded subs appear like they appear on the PC? I mean, encoding the subs with the video on the PC (for anime fansub and stuff)
EDIT: this is on a vibrant 2.2
Holy hd batman!!
Works perfectly on my Samsung Galaxy S2, This is great because plex didn't!!
The one and only feature i can suggest for now is 3G support, For when I'm not at home.
Video stops playing (crashes to menu) if I move the slider too fast. Also buffering takes too much time. I have fast wifi and i3 laptop.
Inspire 4g , CM 7 base.

This is usually a side effect of bad wifi signal strength. Are you far from your wifi router?

If you open port 1554 pre encoded videos will work now. It will be unsecure though. We are working on securing connections for next release.

If that's not a problem then it's probably quality related. Can you please tell me which quality profile or bitrate in case of custom profile are you using?
I tried all 3 profiles.
First the default one, appear to be good for 10 seconds but then randomly some frame goes bad and the next 30 frames looks awful too, then it corrects itself for another 10-15 seconds and the same happens.
The dual core preset appear to be the same.
And the low quality preset its a gamble, because sometimes looks better, but still got some bad frames, but sometimes it looks worse than the other 2 presets, almost 95% of bad frames.
Could it be a codec problems? I use CCCP for my video playback needs...

Sandisk Class 4 32GB Slow?

So I recently bought this SD card and I'm happy to finally be able to add new mp3's without deleting the other ones
It works like it should. But I suspect it's too slow for watching movies. Everytime i try to watch a movie off of it the hardware decoder mode in MX shows the video lagging (even 480p). The software decoder in MX plays smooth for a 2-3 minutes until it freezes the whole system so that I can't even lock the screen and remains frozen the next 2 minutes. Then it suddenly starts playing again, out of sync and freezes again in a matter of seconds if I don't pause or skip +/- 1second to get it back in sync. Once I've done one or both of the former "solutions" it plays for 2-3 minutes and locks up the phone again. And it does this on all video players, Gallery video player, VLC, MX and Mobo...
I copied a 720p file to internal storage and that played flawlessly in MX (except that I had to choose SW audio decoder for some reason).

Yeah that's not an option atm. But according to Sandisk Class 4 is 4 megabytes/s. So this is more than enough for full hd video and I get these issues with 480p! I don't what to do, I'll try formatting it since I didn't do that to begin with.

that's theoretical speed not real life speed just like harddrives, I don't think I ever got the posted harddrive data transfers especially between two of the same hd's, too many variables to consider
Test the transfer speed of the card. Some are not what they say. My class 10 is better than advertised speed.

It's a Samsung 32GB, class 10. I have 3 of them and they all perform above spec. As you may know, there are fakes and some that just don't perform as advertised.
I have had very good luck with Samsung cards. They are the only ones that performed to spec. All the SanDisk and others either got corrupted or were very slow and not up to spec.
Just be careful where you buy from, some are fakes with Samsung stickers. Same goes with other brands, fakes with brand name stickers. There are fakes everywhere, even with hard drives I've found. They are a genuine case with a fake generic, junk hard drive inside.

Okay so apparantly it's got nothing to do with the SD card. I watched a 50 min long 480p video from internal storage and that locked up the whole device somewhere at 30min and kept sporadically doing it every 2-5 minutes. My new guess is it could be the developer preview Adreno drivers.. I'll reflash CM with it's own stock drivers and report back.

Youtube app for Nexus 5 definitely sucks

I'm trying the Youtube app on my Nexus 5 (version 5.3.32) and it definitely really sucks.
Videos (HD and SD) suffer of frame dropping and sometimes (for example when you listen to a song) there are some punctual audio distorsions (metallic peaks) while playing.
I compared the same music video on a Samsung Galaxy S2 and the difference is embarassing...
Any news/solutions?
As a workaround, i'm using Google Chrome on Nexus 5 for Youtube and it's so much better than the app.....

I replaced the Google YouTube app with an alternative called Viral. I even removed the YouTube apk and only have an issue with the Flowly app. Viral includes features that Google ignores such as background audio playback and full control over the UI theme colors. It actually had floating video windows before Google added that feature.

[Bug Report] H/W+ auto-switching to S/W

Lately I've run into an issue; can't point my finger on which update this started happening though.
Many videos start to play as H/W+ but then stop and decoder turns to S/W 3 to 6 seconds into the video. What's weird is that it's intermittent, like, I can play that same file again and it'll stick on H/W+. Then I try again and it goes to S/W. Very sporadic.
It's a shame because playing videos on H/W+ consumes 8%/h~ of my battery, whereas S/W a good 15-16%.
Mind posting the media info for the video? And on what device and ROM is this? If you remember, what was the last version of MX that didn't have the issue?

mediaplayer has timed out. that's why it has automatically switched S/W.

Erm, like another video player WHILE mx playing is on it? Not at all.
I mean I do have Shuttle music player on background, but it's not playing anything, and I don't think that's related since only certain videos reproduce this issue.

I am not sure that it's the root cause.
Somehow mediaplayer is getting timed out which is causing the issue.

I thought of something, I'll try to explain:
In a folder there are the video files, and also the opening and ending titles as separate files. Like let's say a video is 20 mins, with 2 min opening and 2 min ending titles, for a total of 24 mins.
I only moved the actual video file on my tablet, so it's only playing the 20min file. Could it timeout trying to find the opening / ending files that I omitted?
edit: I'll try the same thing but also copying the other files now.
edit 2: nope, behaving the same way. Could it be mx player doesn't support "separated" video files? I mean, the video says it's 20 min long rather than 24min even if the other files are in there.
I'm not sure if I was clear enough so I'll try to rephrase. I'm playing the videos of an anime that made it so that rather than every episode containing the opening and ending, it calls them as external video file - i guess to save space. that doesnt seem to be supported by mx player.
last edit: yup, it only seems to happen on files that are "split" like I described - but still, not all of them.

I'm not sure if I was clear enough so I'll try to rephrase. I'm playing the videos of an anime that made it so that rather than every episode containing the opening and ending, it calls them as external video file - i guess to save space. that doesnt seem to be supported by mx player.
last edit: yup, it only seems to happen on files that are "split" like I described - but still, not all of them.

Timeout just means HW+ decoder can't play the video file.
Would you send me this video file or its download link?

Also it's worth noting that it doesn't happen on my Nexus 5 running 5.0.1. Only on my 4.4.2 Galaxy Tab S.

New Update Rolling Out For SM-G950F (AQEB)

Hi guys! Just wanted to inform there was an update today, new base band is AQEB.
Changelog says it fixed issues with bluetooth and sd stability plus some minor fixes (should have taken a screenshot of it, but as the changes weren't so big i though it wasn't an important update). For now i haven't noticed any big change, today afternoon when i get out of work i will test the bluethooth with my car as i had some issues with the wheel's buttons for skipping songs sometimes working and sometimes it doesn't.
Here is a screen of my phone right now:

I got it on my BTU phone three days ago. I didn't really notice anything different but I wasn't having any issues to begin with.

The csc code i have is G950FOXM1AQEB
csc code ttt Trinidad and Tobago (Unlocked) got it also
It fixed all my Bluetooth issues in my car when streaming Spotify, before it would randomly disconnect or just would not do anything at all.
600+ mb is not a small update if you ask me... just updated... heard people have problems with wifi and Bluetooth so why not, for the time when I'll need them both. some stability was also in the description as well among few other things... Samsung know what they are doing.

could be my imagination after reboot but it seems snappy... Fast, responsive...

wireless charging wasn't fixed (using Choetech Fast Wireless). on a regular (not fast) charge it manages to catch on after few times of disconnect.

didnt receive any update. just checked manually
Updated here in ZTO csc (Brazil). No changes that I can see but the phone runs smoothly since the update...
Installed it yesterday and since I didn't have any issues with BT (haven't actually used it yet) or SD card I can't say I noticed any differences on these subjects.
But the stock launcher does seem smoother. When I'm opening and closing the app drawer by swiping I don't get the occasional stutter I used to get sometimes.

Hi all.
If possible (I know its a long shot)
Could someone test Glimp app from playstore with a real freestyle libre sensor?
As i have posted in another post up to ACDD the NFC stoped functioning with Freestyle libre sensor (Blood sugar monitoring sensor for diabetes)
The firmware version that was functioning was only the AQCA which i had to role back to in order to have a functioning Glimp in my S8.
A test with this firmware would be much appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
I don't understand why people say "phone runs smooth after update". Are you implying that there are scenarios where an S8 does not run smoothly? What is this nonsense?

A matter of perspective. Compared to my 3t the s8 isn't as smooth for sure. It's not that it's stuttering hard or so, but I do have to wait a little longer for certain things to pop up and every no and than scrolling is a bit jittery. Nothing that bothers me really, but every improvement in actual UI speed is very welcome.

Don't forget about "my battery life is 10x better" after a security update.

I've read those a lot on here, I remember porting roms and there was at least one when a new version came out ask how is the battery life.
