Can't watch videos - Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I installed an unofficial cm rom on my note 10.1 n8010 for about three weeks ago. Everything worked fine except for the videos. I cant watch any videos at all. On for example youtube I get an error that says "There was an error while trying to play the video". Gallery videos wont play either.
Ive searched on Google and it seems to be that the hardware acceleration is broken. Ive tried to do a full wipe and I have even installed another cm based rom, but still no success.
Does anyhone else have this problem or is it just me?
In desperat need of help. Dont know what to try next...

hi,
i have issues with video playback on the 8013 running gnabo and omni.
the workaround seems to be tubemate and deselecting the play in page option.
you will need to download it on your pc though since the site download
from within android fails.

This really pisses me off. I watch YouTube like all the time. I have a G2 and that has no problems.
G2x just has issues and this YouTube debacle is like the final insult. Browser has stopped forced close on 174 but was forced to stop browser. Its is only two.issues affecting cm 2.3.7
Switched back to nightlies
also Netflix stopped working so went to a backup. No video just audio
miui is a cyan base rom
and the browser version works ok but the youtube app is giving loading issues
so y u just open youtube from browser?easy and same as youtube app
or u can uncheck option that force u to use mobile site

Try using the latest cm nightly.
it's the rom.... i also had the issue and i still do even with EB 2.3.5 and as well as the cm7 stabled Gb version.... not only with the youtube app but on some of the websites had flash issues where videos were just green lines. so i switched back to EB 2.3.3 stock Gb version. Devs are working as to finding out the problem but still no luck.
I tried the latest nightly 174 and loaded videos instantly this morning.
Will keep trying the Nightly ROMs. Will report back if I encounter the issue again.
Prefer the Youtube app, just faster.
Youtube and G2X usb mount
I am having these two issues first I noticed that phone is no more recognized by windows as usb and now this youtube issue of CM stable 7.1 , I was really liking this CM. If someone is there reading these and can help please help.
thanks
glad to know its not just me and more about the problem
i really hope this gets fixed soon but was it ever stated as an issue before so others could become more aware and hopefully put it in more demand for a fix or something?
Youtube Slow issue found
What I did I uninstalled both adobe flash player and youtube app and using dolphin web browser for youtube. I tried all those videos again through dolphin and got the instant response on my almost 2mega Byte connection. So, I guess I have to live without youtube app.

Well I recently switched from LG Stock Rom to CM7.1 stable on my P990, and have the same issue. I'm glad that its not just me having slow loading of YouTube videos on the phone. Thanks for sharing the information that the nightly build of CM might help solve the issue. How many others have been successful with that build?
I can confirm that recent nightly builds are no longer causing slow loading of videos in YouTube app. I installed CM7.1 #204
I'm happy

[Q] Why youtube is only buffering not playing videos in GT-P6210?

Dear Friends,
Please help me regarding this subject. The youtube app and the youtube mobile doesnt playing any videos on my GT-P6210, Only the desktop site for youtube works fine. please help me to solve this issue. I thought it might me the problem of youtube but its already three days now but still the problem is on.
Thanks,
Nish
Hi,
have similar issue on g. tab 10.1 , it's buffering and after some time there is information that there was an error.
some movies are still playable..
I just bought my SGT+ tonight (sunday) and noticed the same thing. But I have not spent much time with it yet.
For me nothing worked until this:
tried to clean data restart and so on, till I uninstalled update and now it works. I think they try to implement something so you can't watch from other country as my phone think I'm from US but I'm in Europe or they made really poor app.
Crappy version: 5.1.10
My version: 4.4.11

[Q] YouTube App Problem (skipping, lagging)

Hello,
I just updated my tf101 to ics (ota official). On Honeycomb I think the YouTube app was the app I used to most, it could play HD content at full fps and there were no problems. Fast forward to ICS where every video either skips or lags when a lot of things are moving around on the screen. This has made the youtube app unusable.
When I still had CWM i was also using ICS roms, but they had the same problem, so, I went back to honeycomb and it worked fine again. For some reason I thought the custom roms were to blame so I tried the official ota.
So to my question, is anyone else having these problems? And if so did you solve it? Also, is there an alternative to the youtube app? (I have tried the web version but it's waaay slower than the app at playing video).
Thanks!
No problems here. You could try to goto Manage Apps and clear the cache for YouTube...and then if that doesn't work also clear the data. That would be the first step in trouble shooting.
for my case, is the 720p mkv files lagging, for youtube i notice some stuttering , not anything that obvious though. BTW many have reported video performance dropped dramatically on the ICS
So there is no way to fix this? I tried to download a trailer and it lags as well. So it is not just the youtube app. Shouldn't the tf101 handle videos pretty good?
I tried everything and finally...
I uninstalled adobe flash player, and it stopped skipping around. Wondering if there is a system conflict on this tablet as there is sometimes w/ desktop versions of google and the conflicts between shockwave and flash player... oh well, it worked. Super frustrating.

youtube stucks at loading video, reflashing doesn't fix

hey. i have a samsung spica, not rooted and 2.1. youtube doesn't load videos even with wi-fi. only says loading video... and wait there forever. i've reflashed rom, installed other versions of youtube for eclair, but nothing fixed my problem. is there anyone who can help me? i'm about to go crazy -.-
It seems like youtube app is the problem. I suppose you can watch youtube videos with the browser. I also used youtube app but was disappointed, right now I'm using TubeMate and it works just fine. You could try it and see if it works for you.
I had similar problem where videos wouldn't play yet the app let me search.
I used titanium backup to uninstall the app. Rebooted then reinstalled it and it worked again.

[Q] CM12 - Android 5.0.2 - Can't play videos

Hey,
I updated to Android 5.0.2 with CM 12. I'm using the Nightly "cm-12-20150118-NIGHTLY". I can't play any videos inside the gallery or in several other video players like VLC. I can use MxMedia Player, because it's using a custom softwaredecoder (I think so). Is there any way to fix this? I found users that have the similar problem but no solution.

I've got the same exact problem. I'm guessing there's a codec missing but I'm not sure what package (or Google App) will provide it.
- Mark
If anyone comes across this, I found the answer for me. I enabled "NuPlayer" under "Developer options." All my videos recorded in the gallery now play.
BTW - I hadn't really worried about this until recently since I always used MxPlayer which played everything anyway.
Good luck and please let me know if it works for you. Cheers!
Currently running stock, un-rooted CM12.0-YNG1TAS2I3.
