This worked fine prior to Lollipop, but now anytime I receive a Snapchat VIDEO from someone (photos show fine) it goes to a black screen. The video never plays and Snapchat says the video is still ready to be viewed. Any ideas? This is running stock Lollipop (latest build).

I am also having this exact same issue after upgrading my OPO to Lollipop/CM12. I have tried removing and reinstalling Snapchat. I have also tried the beta vs non-beta versions. Nothing fixes the video playback issue. Any luck getting this fixed?
Have you tried changing the player in development options, try awesome player instead of nu player
Switching back to Awesome Player from Nu in developer options fixed it!

Just brilliant. That was exactly the issue. I had turned on Nu Player in developer options to see if that would resolve a strange "robotic voice" sounding issue with my vehicles built in bluetooth. Didn't really help, but I never changed it back to awesome player. That caused a lot of issues. Unable to view videos in snapchat, play videos in instagram, etc. Switching back to Awesome player resolved all problems instantly, no restart even needed. Thanks so much.
Im using Temasek rom lollipop 5.1.1 and snapchat is working fine no problems here

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.
I've recently installed the latest version of crDroid rom kitkat. Everything was working fine till date but now I'm facing a problem while playing videos in landscape mode. I've used mx player and mostly all other video players but none is working. I can only hear audio. The same video can be played in portrait though. Can somebody provide a fix?
I know it's not a bug in this particular rom. So I mentioned earlier that everything was working fine initially including video playback until today. I might have done something wrong but I'm clueless as to what it is. So, I'm looking for a fix from anybody who can help...
I'm glad that I've finally managed to fix this problem on my own. I must have tweaked some system file earlier. So, I did a dirty flash of the current rom i.e crDroid without wiping anything and voila the video playback and everything else is working fine. So, anybody facing this same problem in future can follow this same process. However, do remember that you need to refresh/restart your superuser app and also busybox if you have it installed...
I am a heavy user of multi-window.
I recently started to use mx player as my video player of choice and I came across a problem.
The video plays fine but the issue lies with the interface. While using mx player, the interface would only show the video while the background stays transparent.
Initially I figured it was a setting in the options, however those transparency options have to do with the interface with the controls instead of the idle interface.
I tried other players to see if it was an issue with multi-window, however I was unable to replicate the issue.
Suggestions are appreciated.

@Alertdotexe Would you test latest test version? https://sites.google.com/site/mxvpen/translation/test-build
This issue might be fixed.
Feedback will be appreciated.
Thanks
@bleu8888
I wholeheartedly appreciate the suggestion, it works beautifully.
@bleu8888
Upon further testing I noticed initially at installation, every works perfectly, however when my system reboots or powers off, the player upon booting up has the same background transparency issue as before.
I have uninstalled and re-installed it which works again until I reboot or power off.

Would you check version of MX Player after rebooting your device?
MX Player looks like being rolled back to old version (or to official version from Google Play Store) somehow.

I believe you are correct, I disabled auto update with mx player on the store and rebooted my device about 10 times to make sure everything is working properly and consistently. Since I disabled auto update, everything seems to be working as intended.
Heya everyone!
I am having an issue with my S6 that involves video playback.
The 2 scenario's I am experiencing this issue in are:
- youtube app: it will play audio, but video gives a black screen
- whatsapp: will open a video, but it doesn't play (as if it was just a picture). also doesn't open gif files at all.
yet youtube works fine in the browser, and i can watch my whatsapp gifs and video's from the gallery as normal too. (but it is still a BIG problem!!!!)
Sometimes when I restart my phone, it will start working. and other times it will just randomly start working again too.
But after a while, it will just break again and goes back to the problems described above.
I am experiencing this on different versions of the Stock Nougat firmware, even after full data wipes (including wiping the internal storage).
So I am totally clueless, but I find it hard to believe this is a hardware issue, since it does work sometimes, and then it doesn't work other times.
Any help, advice or insight in this issue is appreciated
So this began happening about a week ago. Whenever I played videos on mx player pro or YouTube, my screen would lag out and the picture would freeze when a video was played through mx player.
Then 2 days ago the tablet just stopped working and would do a soft reboot anytime I tried to access any app. After that I wiped and reflashed Bliss 6.4 and things were fine however the lag is coming back.
Is anyone else experiencing this? Is there any fix?
Thank you.
