Youtube fullscreen problem - Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

Nitrogen 1.1 problem

Using HD2 Cell Evo V1

Hi thanks for the reply, however that is not the problem. When using that "screen switch off button", the music does indeed not stop but it tends to skip and jump, almost as if I was running loads of applications and it was struggling to find the resources to play properly. I don't have anything else running and so this isn't the case. Im thinking it may perhaps be an issue with the custom rom Im using as the manila tab music player doesnt work properly either, guess I should try flash a different rom and see!
I too have this problem - I have the custom O2 ROM. It got so annoying that I reverted to using the Windows music player, which does not share the issue.

its a strange one isn't it. On my Touch Pro 2, scrolling through the list of songs used to be jittery like it wasn't fast enough to handle it, on the HD2, scrolling is fine but suffers the music playback problem, strange!

How do: get rid of the cast icon when watching YouTube?

When I'm connected to Bluetooth speakers and watch a video on YouTube from the phone the screen gets dark and had the cast sign shows up the whole time.

I would LOVE to know this. I've found a workaround that involves:
1. Kill YouTube from recents (if you've already got the cast icon over videos)
2. Turn off BT
3. Open YouTube and start playing the video
4. Turn BT back on and connect
It's as if YouTube always assumes you're connected to a BT display?
This isn't specific to the N5. Has happened throughout the last two Youtube app updates...
Supposedly google knows.
Yeah. I think they are trying to force us to use the Chromecast.

my work around is lock your screen orientation (i.e landscape) before playing the video.
wonderful that google is ignoring this problem when there's thousands of ppl complaining about this already.
or they never use bluetooth speakers before.

MX player: one annoying thing after version 1.7.19. Do you have the same problem?

Hello,
I'll be using the word 'Actions' = increase/decrease volume, brightness and seeking forward backward.
Now the issue:
While watching video on latest and recent updates of MX player, when i try to increase/decrease volume, brightness and seeking forward backward with one finger slide, it is not happening directly with 1 time fine touch. In version 1.7.19 it happens directly, that is good like, while video is playing, 1 time i touch the screen and slide to perform the actions. Post that version, i need to touch the screen 2 times to do the above actions. With the 1st touch, you will get that annoying seekbar and then you need to touch 2nd time and slide for those actions. This is VERY ANNOYING and I REPEAT THIS PROBLEM IS NOT THERE IN VERSION 1.17.19.
I tried the below troubleshooting steps on the latest version and no luck I'm still using version 1.7.19 because it's free of that problem:
1. Restarted phone
2. Checked all MX player settings
3. Installed MX player codec (ARMV7)
4. Force stopped and cleared cache and data
5. Uninstalled and reinstalled the app.
6. Tried few older versions as well.
Is this exists in your phone as well with the latest version? or is a issue with Micromax Canvas 4 A210 device ?

Don't install any additional codec packs until or unless player asks you to install.
Regarding your issue, It looks like you are doing something wrong & it's broken on your device. I can adjust volume, Brightness & can seek in single touch.
When you touch the screen, it won't show the osd immediately. it will show the OSD only after taking it off. So, till that I can do whatever I want. Two touch is not required.

I've uninstalled the codecs still no success. I think its a device rom's issue as my friend who has Samsung galaxy grand 2 is not having this problem in latest version of Mx Player.
Have you asked in your ROM's support thread to see if they changed anything that might have caused the issue?

Problem with Amazon Prime Video Split Screen Multitasking

Hi, I noticed that Amazon's Prime video app does not support Nougat split screen multitasking. Whenever I go in split screen mode it stops the video as soon as I touch the other app in split screen mode.
Now what I want to know is, whether anyone has found a workaround for this?
Sent from my MHA-L29 using Tapatalk
I found that surprisingly when you are in splt screen node (in app overview long-press amazon prime and slide to top), the trick is to start video playback and almost instantly select the bottom window. Must be realy quick, I use both hands. Try a couple of times...

YouTube app acting wired

Has anyone else notice the YouTube app is acting strange. Mainly with minimizing/ maximizing the video. When hitting the back button the video stays in place, the title bar underneath lowers and a large grey square appears under the video (that is still in place). Usually on my old phone the video would lower and minimize at the bottom of the app.
I peek a bit in this forum because I'm interested in picking up this phone.
Seems like HTC is using the same software base for the HTC 10, the stock Android 8 rom has the same issue
Same issue appears in various OEM amd devices. It started with on of the lasltest updates provided. Google has to fix that one. Nothing to do with the U12+ IMHO.

i noticed too, temporary solution :
before you press back or minimize the screen you need to exit the full screen mode first.
U can use youTube vanced
