Hello!
Weird problem occured today. Any of the videos I have on gallery wont play anymore. When I click the preview image from the video screen just darkens a little bit and then nothing happens?!! When I touch the screen the second time it lightens up again?!
It used to work before. Couple days ago I watched few videos throught gallery which I recorded with HTC desire. When I pressed the preview image a pop up window showed up which asked which player I want to use, either the stock player or MX video player that I also have installed. And it worked just fine no matter which one I used.
Now there is no pop up anymore, it just darkens. And yes Iam trying to watch the same videos which worked before. Even if I record a video with the TF's own camera it wont play it when I try to open it up either from gallery or from file manager.
If I open the MX video player and launch the video throught there it works, but why it doesnt launch it from anywhere else?
Any help is appreciated!
Edit: Stock 3.2 android, so its not rooted.
Forgive me if this is a dumb question...have you tried to restart it? When mine does that I end up having to restart to get things working again. If you have tried that then Im not sure...

Yes I have restarted it.
Man this is getting even more weird. I received email about your reply and when I tryed to press the link from Gmail app which would direct me to this thread screen just darkened again just like with the video. No pop up asking which browser I want to use, it just darkens and lights up when I press the screen again?!?
One other option is this...try rotating the screen and see if the menu pops up for you.
If you have installed any 3rd party browsers, try uninstalling them and see if this resolves your issue. Let me know so I can keep looking for ya if not!

Heh, I think I got it solved now. I unmounted TF from the dock in order to try that screen rotation and decided to see if the email thing works. And it did, so does the videos now! I hooked up it on the dock again and everything seems to be working again.
I didnt even rotate the screen, seems like just unmounting and mounting it on the dock did the trick. Thanks.
No prob man, I noticed when I searched google it was a problem in general with the 3.2 update on a few devices. Glad you got it fixed!
Recently, after about a day on PA 4.3, my phone started to crash whenever I try to load a vvideo. I can load up YouTube no problem, but when I click on a video, it will show the loading ring and play a small bit of sound from the video and crash. I've tried with videos I've taken with the camera as well as videos in browsers and everything, mostly it'll just crash the app, but occasionally the phone will soft reboot. I don't know the cause of this, and it frustrates me that I'm not able to watch any videos on any app without a crash. I've factory reset the phone and it still has the same issues. (Switched to CM11 and same problem as well, so its definitely the phone) Help?
This is a known issue. dhacker had fixed it and this bug should be fixed in the next build of all the ROMs that are based on CM sources.

Thanks for the quick reply, I went back to 4.2 Beta 2 and I'll just rest there until the video problem is fixed, but its nice to know it won't take long.

Yup
i see the same problem, when playing YOUTUBE in full screen( autoRotate ON), but i comes and goes in random..
numbering it like : 2 times a week hardly
if yours is crashing more than mine, then look for the app or Autorotate which is causing that crash.. !! or is it the memory??
btb, thanks for adressing this.. i thought its common in stock, so didnt post any query about it
For me it happens every time I go full screen, i.e whenever the screen is rotated to landscape. Youtube, MX Player, COC. And that too every damn time not even randomly twice a week or something.

Anyone found solution about this?
Anyone having Video Playback issues like on youtube or Videos from whatsapp.. Few seconds into playing the videos the video gets stuck and quickly the audio and video goes out of sync. Am i the only one with this issue or there are other people too ? if i see more people having this issue i will reach out to HTC.. else will do a warranty replacement for mine.
Note- Phone is not rooted, so no magisk module is present to cause this problem
Update- Sorry forgot to update this info, I had reached out to HTC and as per them one should try clearing app cache and restart. I did clear the cache using various methods including by booting into recovery, that seemed to fix the problem for sometime, though this kept coming back.
I've watched a bunch of YouTube videos since my U11 arrived 1.5 weeks ago and never had this problem at all. Never watched WhatsApp videos yet, as I don't get those very often.

Thanks for your reply, seem like an issue just for me(Unless other people also report the same), will probably need replacement.
The Facebook app has crashed for me several times when trying to play video, not every time though. Haven't had any problems with Youtube or VLC.
All of this sounds like software issues in my opinion, personally I would try first to clear data/cache of all apps affected, uninstalling app updates and reinstalling them and also a factory reset before going for a replacement.

According to HTC the solution is to go to Recovery mode and wipe cache partition, it worked for me.
Here is what i did and the below excerpt is taken from HTC's link which they sent me
With the phone powered off, follow these steps:
Press and hold the VOLUME DOWN button while powering the phone on.
Continue to hold the VOLUME DOWN button until the Bootloader screen is displayed.
Press the VOLUME DOWN button until Recovery is selected. Press the POWER button to select.
The phone will appear to reboot and the screen will appear black for 15-30 seconds. When the recovery screen is displayed, follow these steps:
Hold VOLUME UP button and then press and release POWER.
Press the VOLUME DOWN button repeatedly until wipe cache partition is highlighted on the screen.
Press the POWER button to select.
Press the VOLUME UP button repeatedly after the process completes
Press the POWER button to select reboot system. The phone will reboot normally.

Just to chime in, mine lagged and skipped frames and was it was obvious when it happened. I just forward and rewind the video and everything went back normal. Will apply the fix if it becomes persistent.
Thanks for the cache wipe solution, do let us know if your video playback has anymore problem after a while after applying this fix.

Turns out the sound mod I had installed may had been the cause of my lip sync issue. It was the Viper4Android magisk module.

I have EXACTLY this issue, has been like it since I received the phone and before installing any of my own apps. It seems a little intermittent as doesn't happen on ALL videos or streams but does on most, including videos take by the phone itself - really irritating - it's not the app I'm playing back on either as it happens on all three apps installed.
Did you resolve this with the cache clearing method? I would be interested to know if it worked before obliterating my app data.
Clearing the cache partition solved the lip sync issue for me. I didn't notice it before on YouTube. Maybe it was after today's maintenance update, but I can't be sure. Anyway, it's ok now.
I also have this problem.
U11 with 6gb/128gb. I have the problem when I use Google photos to play a video shot with the camera.
If I use VLC to play the video, no problem.
It's quite annoying.
Same issue here. I play videos from websites such as news websites and the sync is terrible. I will try clearing the cache partition and see if there is any difference. It already been factory reset!
I just wanted to chime in that I'm getting the same issue. I'm going to try the cache clearing and I'll let you know if it works. All video tends to be behind by 2-5 seconds, which makes anything beyond music playback impossible.
I think the VLC app may be the culprit here.... I deleted it after I noticed a post here that mentioned it and so far it seems to be working.

I was having this issue too and it drove me nuts. It only started happening recently so I traced my steps and figured out what i did that caused it.
It was the Magisk Module that fixes 60fps video recording and slow motion video for the GCam. Removed that module and instantly YouTube was back to normal.
Hope this helps a few people.

Do you have viper4android installed? It also happens when I have Bluetooth power enabled in v4a
Nope.
I also noticed that in some recorded videos, the sounds ends sooner than the video.
I have starting to notice this has occurred more frequently lately with the Mate 9. Sometime when I opened a youtube video on the app, the video is just completely black. The audio played just fine, but there's just no video. I have try clearing cache and even go as far as factory reset several times but this issue always comes back. Is there any recommendation or settings I can change to get rid of the issue once and for all? I did not experienced this with any of my previous snapdragon phones so I don't know if it's a Kirin thing or not. I would appreciate any input from anyone that'd experienced this. TIA.
common issue among several devices. It is a youtube app problem.
I switched to newpipe for viewing videos. Never looked back.
I had this problem. Assumed it was YouTube as I've had zero issues with my Mate 9. Probably issue their end.
I have the same issue. It's very annoying.
