Cant record/playback videos - Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I've had this issue for several weeks since upgrading to Lollipop, I cant record videos using the camera, I get a force close when I switch to video mode. I cant play back videos that I have on the phone.
Pictures work fine.
I get a "Camera not available" when trying to record a video using snapchat.... again, pictures work fine.
When I play a snapchat video I get the audio but only a black screen.
On Facebook I get a "Cannot play video" message, and on youtube I get "There was a problem while playing".
When I wipe the cache through recovery everything works for a short period, maybe a few hours, then goes back to errors and force closes again.
My current build is below, however I was running 23.1.A.0.690 up until Friday, I changed hoping that it would fix the problem but it didnt.
Any suggestions?
Cheers

Build

Camera not available this issuse you got when other app is using camera in that moment, some app it does use it.
Also i assume you have skype, facebook, snapchat, instagram and this things, basicly all of them can access your camera, and once that its in use, the other one will report "camera not available"
There is some app to make log what access your camera, when i remember the name i will report it to you.
For now, "force close" all apps which might use camera

Video stopped working on G2x (anyonelse?)

I was watching videos on youtube via the youtube app, when the video stopped working, but the sound was still playing fine. I did the update through the LG update tool, so I am running GB 2.3.3 and the phone is not rooted ..... anyone else?
and btw, the camera is not displaying live on the screen (just black screen) either (but can take pictures and view them)
yes i used other video players with the same result
I also cleared the cache (no result) .... and did restart the phone, which seemed to fix the problem for couple of minutes.
I wasn't able to find too much info on google about it (that's why I am posting here) .... and yeah, I am aware of the problems G2x had/has ...

View Video Error

So this has happened quite a few times now. for some unknown reason, when i view videos using Gallery, i see about a second of video footage, then i get the View Video error. I am not sure what causes this. The only way i have been able to fix this was to reinstall my rom AND do a wipe.
this has happened at least 3 times now. After "fixing" it will be fine, but then it will pop back up without knowing how or why.
the only solution i have is to use a third party video player, but that isnt the point.
I am running Viper XL 2.0 with the beastmode kernel, but this was happening before the kernel was flashed.

Liquidsmooth 2.37 camera problem

I just recently flashed Liquidsmooth 2.37 on my galaxy s3 along with the gapps. Everything is working fine except the camera. Whenever I'd go to my camera, it crashes and says "Gallery has stopped". Help please!
Same here. It worked fine yesterday but today suddenly crashing. All around good ROM but for this
EDIT: did you happen to set storage to external SD?
I see camera problems as well with third party apps like Instagram and Camera 360. Trying to take a photo with the front facing camera in either app causes my phone to reboot instantly.
Same problem
Me too, the camera worked at first and now it force closes every time, also with 3rd party apps.
I tried installing quickpic and that didn't work.
I don't have an sd card (is this a problem?)
i really like this rom! please help if anyone figured this out?

Can't Record Video

I have a brand new 128gb Pixel from Google, activated on Verizon. When I try to take a video it instantly stops, sometimes it will save a 0 second video. Restarting and changing resolution don't seem to help. Anyone experience this or heard about this? Is it possible that another app I have installed is breaking my video recording?
FYI: I had the same issue with my Droid Turbo 2 and is the main reason for replacing the device.
UPDATE: After working with Google Support I've determined that the video will record in apps like Snapchat or Instagram, but not in 3rd party camera apps. The video will also record in safe mode. I'm assuming there must be an issue with another app I have installed so I uninstalled every "normal" picture/video app like Skype, Instagram, Duo, ect and the issue still remains.

Video playback crashing and sluggish phone after update

Hi !
I searched but couldnt find my problem.
I recently updates to Android 7 with Rogers version. Every since then, I am having problem playing any type of video. It will work then for some reason it won't. Phone gets sluggish, I have to restart but sometimes the problem is still there.
When I can't play videos, I can't play any and I get no error message, the video just never loads and freezes the phone until I force quit the app.
The problem impacts all videos : Snapchat, Instagram, Videos have recorded, videos in Chrome, and even gifv.
I cleared the system cache but that didn't do much.
Does anyone have a solution or a similar problem ?
Thanks !
You have facebook messenger installed? That may be the problem as it is mine and another person's.
