System bar won't hide while watching YouTube in full screen - Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I have this problem ever since i bought this tablet (n8010). When i watch YouTube and press on full screen, the lower bar (System, Navigation, Notification bar) won't hide. It happens with every rom i tried, original or custom, rooted or unrooted. A couple of friends of mine have the same tablet and when they watch YouTube it works just fine. Also, on my Note, using different video apps, the System Bar does hide while watching in full screen. I also don't think its the YouTube app's fault because on my Nexus 4 it works fine with the latest version of YouTube and i also tried deleting the update and watch with an older version but that didn't work as well.
Help anyone?
Thanks.

Youtube video exiting fullscreen mode

Why is that sometimes when i play youtube videos in full screen then all of a sudden it shows the nav bar blank and status bar with the time on it. It looks like its exiting the full screen mode. Sometimes its ok sometimes its not. Looks like a bug to me. Im experiencing this since 4.4.2.

Youtube fullscreen problem

Hey
Just posting here in case anyone else is having this problem and has found a solution.
The problem is that once I set a youtube video into full screen, I cant get the video player controls to appear again when tapping the screen, meaning I can't seek or pause the video unless I press back to get to the small player. This only happens on my note 12.2 and not on my other devices running the same youtube version (nexus 5 and 7).
I have rooted and flashed the near stock rom from Gatsrom and am using CivZ kernel rev3.0
Uninstalling updates to the youtube app does fix the problem though, so it looks like it might be a problem specific to the note with the latest youtube, so I was wondering if anyone else has hit on this same glitch?
This happens on CivZ rom too, with CivZ kernel or stock kernel. Probably a YouTube glitch.
I am stock non rooted and it's happening to me too..Has to be a YT issue.

The Youtube app isn't adapted to work with screensizes above 11" yet. That's why.
Essentially what happens is the app is stretched and the HUD bugs out because of it.
Must be a regression in the newest version of the app then, since it used to work fine. I've sent feedback to Google regarding this via the youtube app.
Thanks for chiming in everyone!

Same problem here.
It's really irritating! When i enter the Youtube app from a link (in chrome) and then hit the full screen button, and then i want to pause the video, i need to hit the back button but that's immediately takes me back to last app (chrome).
i found out that if I want it to stay in Youtube app, i need to: press the link (in chrome or gmail app), lower the minimized video to the right bottom side of the screen, then enlarge the screen again, after all that i can hit the full screen button and if i want to pause i can hit the back button and it will not exit the app.
Oddly enough the interface can be forced to show up in full-screen mode using the play/pause media controls command. For example if one clicks the button on a pair of headphones with a play/pause button while in full-screen mode then the video will pause and controls show up on screen. As soon as the controls fade away due to the standard interface delay they cannot be brought back by screen touch gestures but the headphones button will bring them back.
Since I'm rooted and use tons of customizations, I've set up a custom gesture in GMD gesture control to invoke the media play/pause command as a work around to this issue in YouTube until it's fixed. I now simply tap and hold 5 fingers on the screen while YouTube is playing full-screen and the video pauses and Youtube displays the player interface.

I have the same problem both on Note Pro and Tab Pro. Very irritating.

I confirm that the problem is solved with version 6. You can get it from here as I did if you don't want to wait to roll out to your country's play store.

Xfinity TV Stream App on PX5

I was wondering if anyone was running the Xfinity TV stream app on their Android Auto device. I have a KLD MTCD PX5 device that seems to install fine and shows all menus, features, etc as would appear on any other device.
However, when I click something to watch it just shows a still image. Either a stock preview image or sometimes it will show a still image from X minutes into the video. But it won't stream any video. The screen shows the name of the show and the search magnifying icon in a top bar and then the still image below. No other hidden menu items to start play or anything like that.
No errors or anything, just wont stream and all I can do is go back to the main menu. Then, If I choose something else, it's the same thing. It will show a still preview image of that show.
I've seen some stuff about the app blocking rooted or hdmi based devices (my device is rooted). However, I have Xposed installed and have tried the addons that were said to help with this, but it's still doing the same.
I also tried the modified FireTV apk just to see if that might work. It installed and showed menus fine, but again just still preview images.
I couldn't find any posts of anyone experiencing a similar situation (i.e. no errors, but no streaming, just the still preview images) so I thought I'd post to see what might be going on.
Any luck on this issue?

Many Youtube Videos Donwloaded Offline are Freezing on S7

Upgraded to S7 from S5 - everything is great, except I experience one very annoying issue: many YouTube videos I download for offline viewing (have YouTube Red) start freezing after a few minutes of watching. Sometimes they freeze right away. If I clear the YouTube cache and restart the app it works for a bit and then starts freezing again (the light circle in the middle is rotating and the video keeps frozen).
No freezing happens when I watch YouTube videos over the internet. Some offline videos work fine. But some consistently do not. Never had this issue with Galaxy S5.
Here is what I tried to fix this issue:
- Wiped cache partition
- Reinstalled YouTube (disabled, updated to new version) and restarted the phone
- Enabled Developer Options and Selected Force GRU rendering - this helped a bit, but did not resolve the issue
- Turned off hardware overlays in Developer Options.
- Turned on 4x MSAA in Developer Options.
- Cleared cache in Google Play app
- Switched download storage from SD to phone to eliminate any SD issue
Any ideas?
Hello,
my only idea is that there is not much to try when app crashes, all you can really do is check in the application settings (in the system settings of the phone and then "applications") if it has all the necessary permissions, clear cache as you did but I don't think it has anything to do with developer options like forcing GPU rendering.
So, all I can think of is:
- Write to Google to explain them the bug you encounter, they might have a solution or may release a fix in a future version of the app. As you use Youtube Red, you pay for a service, in the PlayStore you have been able to install the app so it means it's not incompatible with your S7, so you have the right to ask Google for a solution or a refund.
- Try to go on apkmirror and to get an older version of the app, maybe that bug wasn't there in earlier versions.
- Try to download offline videos with LTE, or with Wifi, to see if that change anything. Maybe your LTE connection or Wifi connection isn't stable and cause downloaded files to be corrupted.
Sorry, that's all I can help you with...
EDIT: I don't know how Youtube Red works about downloading videos, but can you choose the quality? Like 360p ou 1080p for example? If yes, then maybe try different quality settings to see if that has any influence on your bug.
In the end, I would probably it is a problem of corrupted files, or a codec problem maybe. I guess you can only read those videos with the Youtube app? If ever the videos are downloaded really like video files in your phone's memory, then maybe you could try an alternate video player to read them (but my guess is that they can only be read from the youtube app).

YouTube Bug?

I'm noticing that on YouTube, after I close the app, and open the app backup, the video plays in a semi full screen mode where I cannot see the content on the side where it normally is. Obviously the workaround is to change it back to portrait mode but that defeats the point of trying to use the app in landscape. What I have been doing so far to alleviate this problem is clearing out the data and cache of YouTube before I open up the app, but as you can tell that gets annoying. I have attached two screenshots. One of them is YouTube the way it should look, the other is showing the problem. Notice the white bar at the bottom. Any fix? I am using a 8013 with 8010 stock rom flashed on it because I wanted KitKat.
