This is the first time I heard about this issue.

I'm having issues as well. Playing youtube either hangs, FCs, or freezes. Same thing with browsing and using other apps. This is on high speed wifi, not just data. Tried factory reset and using custom rom. Didn't fix it so I'll most likely take it back.

A do the factory wipe.. after that was ok.. till i install the newest version of Youtube player from play store :| wtf… ?
Why only I have this issue... strange..

Are you guys stock? ART/Dalvik? Need more info!

stock, testes on davik and art no difference.

Okay...gimme a Play store link vid that crashes your phone and I'll test..

Not my phone.. only Youtube Player, it's 50% chance that it will play or crach, on every movie played from play store, and like I write earlier on old YouTube player is ok.

Like i write.. every YT movie launched from Play may make a crash, it’s a 50% chance, it's not depends of movie itself.

Verified..I just searched for 'game' on playstore, and on the first hit it played fine. Successive vid links crashed YT, but restarting the same vid allowed playback. This appears to be a pre-buffering issue.

Thanks for testing.
Yes, restarting allowed to playback, i also check on my old galaxy nexus .. the same issue appears ..
I should do this before I wipe my N5.. and lost all my saved games.. damn…
After testing on galaxy nexus I think that this issue is global .. it’s the newest YT player bug..
The strange thing is that I’m the only one who notice this.. and write on xda… nobody cares about crashing YouTube or what ?

Video app only partially plays vids

Question: Hi there
the stock video app on my tab plays videos partially then stops and goes back to the video list. Is this a known bug and if it is does anyone know how to fix it? If i access videos via the file explorer it plays fine!
Also is there any way to play all videos continuously and randomly or a player that does this?
Thanks

Hmm. Playing the video partially is weird. What if you keep tapping the screen? will it finish playing?
If you click on the menu button, there is a option that says "Auto Play Next".
Hi there
the video stops suddenly so i am unable to tap the screen. It then returns to video app screen. The same video will play fully if accessed via the file explorer, that's the weird thing. This means i can not use the auto play next feature within the video app although the video app is what plays the video when opened via explorer.

Does this happen on all video's?
Hi there yes it does?

Have you tried any other video players just to see if it also happens outside of the stock player?
Yes, i jave tried numerous apps such as qq, zimly and mixzing and they all work fine. They just do not have what i need, which is the ability to arrange videos in various orders such as date or size as well as auto play next or random play. The stock player is perfect for this need. As above, if i open.the videos via the my files folder it uses the stock app to play the videos and the problem is gone. This would be fine but this way you lose the ability to auto play video. Its extremely frustrating! The video app seems to play about 2 mins of videos then audio goes slightly jerky and it stops and returns to app. Is there a way to re install the video app? Thanks

Reinstalling the video app would require Root. Have you done that or considered it?
By advised rooting does invalidate your warranty. Samsung issued a newsletter to all service centres advising them if they received any phones that had been rooted they were not to carry out repairs under warranty.
Anyway, has it happened all the time since owning the Tab or has it only started playing up recently?
If it has been playing up all the time it may be something to do with the codecs of the video where when you select direct from the player it picks up the problem but misses when you select the video using a third-party selector (My Files you mentioned).
If that is the case there is nothing you can do about it other than ensure your movie files don't have the same codecs.
If it has been playing up only recently it will be some form of corruption that has crept in.
The only way you are going to get around this is either root your Tab and reinstall the Player.app (providing you can get hold of one that is).... or carry out a Factory Reset that should clear the problem.
Hi thanks the advice. I will try a factory reset abd hopefully that will work as i do not want to root the device.

[Q] MX Player and Dice player lags in CROMI-X?

Does anybody experience this too? I have a media player at home setup as an SMB server and it's connected to my wifi router. I have a collection of movies there that I play thru MX Player or Dice Player. Every time I play my HD movies, they lag. The only time I can play it flawlessly is if I reboot my Infinity. I've tried downloading memory cleaner, cache cleaner, temporary files cleaner and still it doesn't play my movies right. I didn't experience this before CROMI - X.. I was also in early version CROMI at that time it was working perfectly..
I hope someone can help me solve this issue.
Thank you.
Use BS Player.
Out of all the media plays I've tried on Android, thats the best.
Was using it on my locked tf700 last night. Plays HD (1080p) fine over wifi. Could even play 1080p on my N7 with that.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll try that later.. But I think the problem is not in the app but in the system itself. It wasn't like this before and all video players were working perfectly.

In my experience, it was good, and is still good om the 4.6.x versions. Have you tried cleaning your caches, and clearing app data? Do you have a lot of media on your 700? (I recently had an issue with the media scanner going haywire after a clean install.)

Nope, I'm using Data2SD and haven't used 50% of my storage (32GB). My movies are being streamed from my media player to my tablet through my local wifi. I tried clearing everything and it still lags if i try to play a movie unless i reboot it.
Up! Anyone else who can help me? I just want to play my videos smoothly. I also tried not using DATA2SD to see if that's the problem and unfortunately, it's the same. I think it's the way the new OS handles cache and ram but I don't know what else to do after clearing the cache, temp files and ram.

Let's see if this helps - go into Settings -> Applications ->All tab
Scroll down to YouTube - tap it. If running, Force Stop - then Clear data - then Clear cache.
Next - relaunch YouTube - and report back if this fixed anything or not.
Cheers..

so bad, it's still showing black screen.
It's weird that it still play audio from that video.
If I watch Youtube from the default Browser the video played fine.
Thanks for the advice anyway. Any more advice?

Instagram, Vine, Gallery Videos and others LAG!

Does anyone notice this;
(I've also tested this with my friends OnePlus One, manufacturers dates are about 1 month apart)
With instagram videos, vine videos, gallery videos, etc.. When I play them and then pause, I notice when I play it again it lags and the audio countinues to play but the video just stops unless I keep playing/pausing back and forth till the video resumes again. Don't know what this is buts its really annoying. Googled the answer for this and it seems no one has this issue.. I've tried several roms including CM11s gives me the same issue. Any solution or fix?
I think it has to do more with the app loading the video than the phone itself. I don't have issues playing videos in my gallery, but on Instagram and Vine, even Snapchat sometime lag.

Yes. When I play any types of videos and pause them I get a lag (video frozen but audio countinues to play) when I press play again. Sometimes it will lag for 2-3s then continue to play.
Wipe the cache on the gallery, vine, and instagram.
You PM'd me about this earlier. I don't use Instagram, Vine, or Gallery Videos (I use Gallery but I don't notice any lag in videos, I rarely ever use it though).
Some suggestions,
- Have you tried? http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/themes-apps/mod-smooth-scrolling-mod-mahdi-rom-t2840934
- Have you tried any custom kernels? If so, which ones?
- Are these fresh installations of Vine/Instagram/etc? Or are they backups from prior phones. If they're not fresh installations, try @Nexii's tip. If it continues to proceed, reinstall the app.

Same thing happens to me. Happens mainly on Instagram.
Like I might replay a video and the beginning of the video freezes but the audio continues to play. It has done this one every ROM I've used on the OnePlus One. May be hardware related.
i just played a few videos and have no lag running cm11s.

I'm starting to believe that too as my other friend is not affected by this.
It's not hardware. Hardware wouldn't make your videos lag. It's software and is caused by your set up. Take a video of the lag if you must demonstrate it.

Update;
I flashed the XNPH25R and went on with the phone, the phone did not have any of that absurd lag..
After flashing the next update in sequence, XNPH30O, the lag exists. Maybe related to the firmware updating from 4.4.2 to 4.4.4

Freezing Videos after 442 Update

Has anyone else had freezing videos after the 4.4.2 update? The sound is fine on the videos but the video part is freezing skipping lagging very badly.
Have you tried a 3rd party app?
From my Wicked S3 on SOKP
Yeah I tried VLC and a couple others. I can record fine but not play. Even YouTube videos are doing it. Weird
The battery also dies extremely fast. When I plug phone into computer it freezes my phone right away

Are you talking about the issue where YouTube is all grayscale, and has about 4 different horizontal strips, only the top of which is the correct(ish) video?
If so, I heard that's the gapps package issue. Uninstall and reinstall from the market.
A temp fix is to change the video quality, and then restart video from the beginning. It fixes it for that single video. I'm a tad lazy and haven't tried the above fix, but I will right now!
As for the others, not sure!
