Everytime I try to make a flash video full screen for some reason it just goes to a black screen. The video keeps playing and so does sound but its all black until I hit the back button to go back to small video then its fine again. This occurs with any and all flash videos played in the browser on desktop view from embedded YouTube videos to videos on ESPN, etc.
Any ideas?
I use opera mobile. It works pretty well for imbedded full screen YouTube videos. I sometimes have problems with the stock browser playing YouTube if the internet connection is not that good.
It's supposed to work. Its not on the list of bugs. I tried re flashing the rom but still nothing. Video playback and recording crashing. Youtube does not even work. How do I fix this?

Device Manufacturer & Model: LG Nexus 5
Android Version: 5.0.2
Rom Info: CM12 02/28 Nightly, tested also on CM12 02/15 Nightly
Detailed Problem Description:
Hi. I have encountered a very specific issue with MX Player. When I am playing full HD portrait video and next video is full HD landscape, the Android video driver seems to completely crash in the event when videos switch. E.g. when portrait one ends and landscape one starts playing. Sometimes the device freezes with corrupted graphics, sometimes it recovers, but graphics are shifted and reboot is needed to resume normal operation.
I have reset the settings to default when reproducing the issue and only setting I am using is Display / Settings / Screen / Orientation : Auto rotation. I am holding the phone in portrait, so basically the first video should be full screen on my phone and the second should be scaled down a lot to fit in portrait. It happens with both HW and HW+ codecs.
I have recorded two short videos which can be used to reproduce the problem. I have also recorded the behavior on the phone using another camera (this time the phone "kind of recovered").
Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Install MX player.
2. Set Display / Settings / Screen / Orientation : Auto rotation
3. Play attached videos when holding the phone in portrait, the crash should appear when the first ends and the second starts.
See recorded video for details.
Logs from MX Player
Video 1 - portrait
Video 2 - landscape

It works in default video player and does not cause anything similar. I did not have a chance to try it on stock ROM yet. However, I have a lot of videos with different sizes and switching between them does not cause the issue. Just full HD videos.
Let me know if any more details are needed.
It happens on stock 5.1 too. Very annoying if you have mix of portrait and landscape videos recorded.

It looks like ROM issue if HW has same issue.
FYI, HW is default media player actually which is provided by the OS.

I did some more testing. It happens on all factory images I had for Nexus 5, 4.4.4, 5.0.1, 5.1. All of them exhibit the same problem. I tried also the SW decoder, but that did not tell me anything, as SW does not follow the tag for portrait orientation, so the portrait video showed up as landscape anyway.
Now the interesting part is that default player does not crash like that, when switching between the videos. But it takes longer to switch. It seems that it deletes the whole drawing surface and starts it again. Contrary, when switching videos in MX Player you can always see last frame of previous video stretch to the following video size before it starts playing.
I'm very satisfied with the image and video quality U11 delivers. However, my problem is that whenever I set video quality to 4K and start recording, I notice an occasional frame drop. I think it happens once in 8–10 seconds. Unfortunately, frame drops are also present in the saved videos.
I've already tried wiping the cache partition, performed a clean factory reset, but they haven't solved my problem. Any ideas? Do you think it is a hardware issue?
Try running an app called boost+ and activate smartboost.. If no joy then there could be a bigger problem..
After Oreo update video stutters during recording with video stabize enabled?
Recording at 1080P/30 fps.
After update I cleared all caches and rebooted. Install went smooth and phone seems to run properly.
I have also gotten the screen go black for a moment during normal usage but returns to normal quickly.
Any Ideas or suggestions?
