Ever since updating to the newest official 4.3 ROM, I've been having issues with stuttering/juddering video. This will happen in both Youtube and BSplayer (HW acceleration). The stuttering will happen every few seconds, and seems to primarily affect 1080p videos, which many new Youtube videos are, as well as those I have on my SD card.
I have tried reflashing from scratch with the ODIN file that was just recently posted, which did not fix the issue. Nor did multiple factory resets. I have tried Youtube immediately after flashing the ODIN file and factory reset without setting up my accounts or loading any apps.
This did not happen with the stock 4.1.2 for me.
Is anyone else experiencing this? Any suggestions?
Bump. I'm surprised no one else has noticed this. Either that, or my phone coincidentally became defective at the time of the update...

on fresh upgrade to 4.3, completely stock, and don't see it. Could be your connection, or maybe trying turning off HW acceleration?

I'm editing this since further experimenting says something has changed since the fresh ODIN load. BSplayer actually works fine now; the playback is smooth as expected. However, Youtube is still terrible, with regular stuttering. I can even play a video I downloaded from Youtube in BSplayer and it plays well, but in Youtube it stutters a lot. So, at least it seems like it's not a hardware issue. However, it is still very odd. It does it with both the original version of Youtube that comes with the 4.3 ROM, as well as the updated version from the Play Store. And the issue happens via both 4G and over Wi-Fi.
Thanks for the feedback!

Running CyanogenMod 6.1.2 - 0.10 (Android 2.2.1+) , with boot2.img and Go Launcher Ex.
Is anybody having trouble playing flash and youtube video with boot2.img or boot5.img?
After a few days without rebooting, neither the youtube app or flash video on browser (stock or miren) would play flash video anymore. In you tube, it would play for 10 seconds, before stopping with an error. In browser, it would say video cannot be played.
Quick reboot (only rebooting the UI) through link2d doesn't fix it. Only a full reboot, either with fastboot boot2.img, or regular reboot would fix it.
I only have this problem running CyanogenMod with fastboot. No swap works fine. Never had this issue with MIUI. I have seen it around 3-4 times for the past 2 weeks.
Maybe my swap partition is corrupted? Or maybe there is a problem with swap handling in CyanogenMod?
Thanks.
Posting what I found in case someone else is hitting the same issue.
I found this. I tried removing twitter and reboot, but I still had the same problem. Then I also removed moboplayer and reinstalled youtube, and the problem went away. I am guessing re-installing youtube fixes the codec previously corrupted by other apps.

Okay, this problem has been bugging me for a while. The ringtones that came with my SGS4G play when I select them, but my others (ringtones, mp3's, stuff created in RingDroid) will not play. This also affects music playback. I get an error that the file is corrupted.
Now the interesting part: if I reset my phone, I can play the sounds again, no problem. After a few days though, it starts happening again. As for the Youtube videos, they play fine, then after a couple of days they stop playing. If I reset the phone, they play again.
My phone is rooted.
Firmware: 2.2.1
Kernel: 2.6.32.9
Stock Froyo Build
I have CacheMate and Super Manager cleaning out my caches whenever they can.
I checked all possible sound stuff (Airplane Mode, no ringtones on silent, etc..) and still have the problem.
This problem started before I ever rooted my phone. Any help you guys could give would be appreciated. Thanks.
You said it is affecting music playback as well have you tried a different SD card? I had one go bad on me and I was having similar issues before it completely died. The Youtube videos however are playing from the internet right?

This is intriguing.... you can either:
1) Since your rooted, you can get CWM and install a custom rom. Might fix your problem since it's most likely a software problem i think.
2) Since your still stock and just rooted, and also it started before you were rooted, try sending it in to tmobile.
I suggest try #2 first and if they don't do anything about, try #1.

Thanks guys. I'll try something and post back.
So this has happened quite a few times now. for some unknown reason, when i view videos using Gallery, i see about a second of video footage, then i get the View Video error. I am not sure what causes this. The only way i have been able to fix this was to reinstall my rom AND do a wipe.
this has happened at least 3 times now. After "fixing" it will be fine, but then it will pop back up without knowing how or why.
the only solution i have is to use a third party video player, but that isnt the point.
I am running Viper XL 2.0 with the beastmode kernel, but this was happening before the kernel was flashed.
Xperia z3 not playing videos
My Xperia z3 doesn't play any video at all. It shows up with an error "Cannot Play Video" . YouTube video doesn't play videos. I cant play video in any app. I cleared the data and cache and even performed factory reset but that didn't help me. I repaired it with Sony Companion and even flashed new firmware with Flash tool also. But still the problem persists. After restarting my phone it plays video for some minutes and then again winds up with the same. Pls help me.
Go into your setting, choose Developer setting then scroll down till you see "Use AwesomePlayer" If you're enable it then disable and if you disable just enable it. Then reboot. It should be working. Anytime you see this just do the same thing. One way to not seeing this fault you can flash back to 4.4.4.
But is this device specific...should I go to service centre?

Do any of you guys run the official Marshmallow concept software?
I have not encoutered this problem on previous final builds, but installed the concept software 2 days ago.
Since then I have not been able to play any video. Not in the Facebook app, not in youtube, not from files on my phone. Considering reverting back to the stable builds, purely for this problem...

It started happening in my Z3 when I installed the concept too but the problem is I reverted back to stock and it happens just like in the beta. I tried factory reset on stock, deleting all sort of data from FlashTool but nothing, it still happens.
Has anyone been able to solve it?
I recently installed MM Concept on my Z3C and I'm having playback issues as well, but only on Album/Video, not for other apps like YouTube, etc.
I had the playback issue in all apps involving videos.
My problem got solved when I got the February security update on the concept software
TL;DR: Audio/video freeze on my phone even after factory reset. Flashing new ROM solves the issue except when I start certain apps which causes it to reoccur until I restart the phone.
I have a Poco X3 NFC and shortly after requesting to unlock bootloader I stared having a bug where whenever I played media (spotify, youtube, netflix, etc), the audio and video would stop/stutter every few seconds. The issue occurred both on speakers and bluetooth. After trying unsuccessfully to solve the issue I factory reset the phone and thought that would be it. However even after a factory reset I was still unable to play videos or music. I then tried the next best thing. I flashed the stock fastboot ROM from my computer using the Mi Flash Tool but the issue still continued.
Thinking it could be a problem with MIUI itself I then flashed TWRP and installed ArrowOS with the Optimus Drunk Kernel which greatly helped performance and battery life. For a little while the issue seemed gone but after opening facebook messenger I started having the same issue. A bit of experimenting revealed that some messaging apps like facebook messenger and the dialer caused the issue to reoccur until I restarted the phone and it worked again.
My only theory is that somehow a low level program like the bootloader somehow got corrupted and causes this issue when my messaging apps are running something in the background (although the issue continues after force stopping those apps). Does anyone have any thoughts on this issue or ideas how I can fix it?
