Noticed today that when I record a video on my Honor 8 I can not play it back. It's just a black screen with audio. Also, the YouTube app just "loads" - good 4G LTE signal or over WiFi. Might be separate issues. Cleared the cache and uninstalled the YouTube updates.
Anyone else seeing this or know of a fix?

if you have installed magisk uninstall and it should work i had the same issue and it went away as soon as i uninstalled magisk with the provided zip on the thread after 21 day and couple of hours of troubleshooting
I don't have that installed.

But you might have another app that messes with the video driver.
Unless anyone pinpoints the exact cause I suggest you backup with Huawei Backup to SD or PC, factory reset, setup Google account and nothing more. THEN test to see if it behaves the same.
If it does, then you might have a malfunctioning unit.
If it doesn´t then it´s either an app or a file messing with your ROM. Try to restore your backup one-by-one app until you see the problem appearing so that you can identify the app.

How about xposed?
Hi There, we recommend you back up the device and perform a "master reset" to see if that fixes the issue. To perform a master reset, you will go into your menu and click settings, then go to Back Up & Reset. Follow the prompts on the screen to back up and factory reset, then continue by following the steps to restart and activate the device (note: you will need to have your Google email/password present at startup).
If you still can't get playback on your videos to work properly, you should call in to our knowledgeable Honor customer service center at +1-844-524-6667 and they can further diagnose the situation you are having with video recording and playback. Thanks for your question! (NS)
Video playback seems to be a general weakness on the phone. I have experienced occasional glitches as well as battery drainage. It could be that the hardware (imaging processor) is weak.
Do a factory reset and see if it works
I'd actually like to raise awareness about this issue, my device works great other than this video issue arising and is progressively getting more annoying every time it happens.
There was this previous thread where, someone else had this problem and someone said that it was a "Known Bug", but I'm not sure where the source for that information is. Thread HERE.
I've done two factory resets since I got the phone in hopes that the problem clears up but it still happens from time to time, and the only way to fix it is to reboot the phone.
A summary of the issue is this:
- Youtube videos only load, but don't play. If you have youtube red, the video plays once you leave the app and audio only plays in the background, and when you return to the youtube app the video continues to play, audio only, with a black screen.
- Playing recorded videos from the video app, or any video app for that matter (Built in Video app, MX Player), videos only show a black screen, and plays audio only.
- Playing videos in Chrome, or anything that uses the android WebView (Such as Reddit while looking at GfyCat''s), doesn't load or shows a black screen
- The only way to get it all working again is to Reboot the device. However, in some rare cases, it magically starts working again.
I did speak to a live support agent on the honor website (David B) about the problem about a week ago in order to try to raise awareness of this issue, in hopes that someone takes notice and finds a workaround or fix for the problem.
I know for a fact that this issue isn't caused by Root, Xposed or anything related to unlocking the bootloader as the issue happened with a fresh restore, and an unmodified device a few days into owning my honor 8.
In conclusion, we need to see and know how many total are having this problem, and how many people haven't had this issue at all, just to ensure that those having the problem (Like me) don't have a defective unit. If only a small percentage of us are experiencing this issue then there is a possibility that those who have this issue like me have a defective device and would need to take action quickly to somehow obtain a new device.
P.S: I've been trying to figure out what triggers this issue to happen and what 'Magically' fixes it while the device is on, without rebooting, ever since I got my device. I'll report back if I ever come across something significant
Update Sept22: I can confirm that there is some issue happening with the hardware decoder as in MX Player video doesn't play when HW Decode is selected but works when SW Decode is selected. Still trying to figure out how to get it working again from its broken state without having to reboot the phone
It seems that there is a software issue which makes the phone unable to use HW decoders correctly
its a reported problem with honor 8, many users are facing the same issue, hope honor fixes it soon with a software patch.
It released an update for both US and EU model, now it's time to wait and see

When streaming a video my fault is. It plays a bit the video pauses but audio continues as normal. This can be fixed by rewinding or fastforwarding a little but same happens again ever so often 3 times per half hour playback

Pester Honor team for a fix to this software issue through their FB and their official forums. A bugfix update will do the need.
I know updates etc talking to Honor n that .If enough of us complain on here it could be considered to link them to here to see for them self errors in software... infanct I know a couple of official Honor mods are actually on this forum. We want them to go nag the heads of swu

Anyone having Video Playback issues like on youtube or Videos from whatsapp.. Few seconds into playing the videos the video gets stuck and quickly the audio and video goes out of sync. Am i the only one with this issue or there are other people too ? if i see more people having this issue i will reach out to HTC.. else will do a warranty replacement for mine.
Note- Phone is not rooted, so no magisk module is present to cause this problem
Update- Sorry forgot to update this info, I had reached out to HTC and as per them one should try clearing app cache and restart. I did clear the cache using various methods including by booting into recovery, that seemed to fix the problem for sometime, though this kept coming back.
I've watched a bunch of YouTube videos since my U11 arrived 1.5 weeks ago and never had this problem at all. Never watched WhatsApp videos yet, as I don't get those very often.

Thanks for your reply, seem like an issue just for me(Unless other people also report the same), will probably need replacement.
The Facebook app has crashed for me several times when trying to play video, not every time though. Haven't had any problems with Youtube or VLC.
All of this sounds like software issues in my opinion, personally I would try first to clear data/cache of all apps affected, uninstalling app updates and reinstalling them and also a factory reset before going for a replacement.

According to HTC the solution is to go to Recovery mode and wipe cache partition, it worked for me.
Here is what i did and the below excerpt is taken from HTC's link which they sent me
With the phone powered off, follow these steps:
Press and hold the VOLUME DOWN button while powering the phone on.
Continue to hold the VOLUME DOWN button until the Bootloader screen is displayed.
Press the VOLUME DOWN button until Recovery is selected. Press the POWER button to select.
The phone will appear to reboot and the screen will appear black for 15-30 seconds. When the recovery screen is displayed, follow these steps:
Hold VOLUME UP button and then press and release POWER.
Press the VOLUME DOWN button repeatedly until wipe cache partition is highlighted on the screen.
Press the POWER button to select.
Press the VOLUME UP button repeatedly after the process completes
Press the POWER button to select reboot system. The phone will reboot normally.

Just to chime in, mine lagged and skipped frames and was it was obvious when it happened. I just forward and rewind the video and everything went back normal. Will apply the fix if it becomes persistent.
Thanks for the cache wipe solution, do let us know if your video playback has anymore problem after a while after applying this fix.

Turns out the sound mod I had installed may had been the cause of my lip sync issue. It was the Viper4Android magisk module.

I have EXACTLY this issue, has been like it since I received the phone and before installing any of my own apps. It seems a little intermittent as doesn't happen on ALL videos or streams but does on most, including videos take by the phone itself - really irritating - it's not the app I'm playing back on either as it happens on all three apps installed.
Did you resolve this with the cache clearing method? I would be interested to know if it worked before obliterating my app data.
Clearing the cache partition solved the lip sync issue for me. I didn't notice it before on YouTube. Maybe it was after today's maintenance update, but I can't be sure. Anyway, it's ok now.
I also have this problem.
U11 with 6gb/128gb. I have the problem when I use Google photos to play a video shot with the camera.
If I use VLC to play the video, no problem.
It's quite annoying.
Same issue here. I play videos from websites such as news websites and the sync is terrible. I will try clearing the cache partition and see if there is any difference. It already been factory reset!
I just wanted to chime in that I'm getting the same issue. I'm going to try the cache clearing and I'll let you know if it works. All video tends to be behind by 2-5 seconds, which makes anything beyond music playback impossible.
I think the VLC app may be the culprit here.... I deleted it after I noticed a post here that mentioned it and so far it seems to be working.

I was having this issue too and it drove me nuts. It only started happening recently so I traced my steps and figured out what i did that caused it.
It was the Magisk Module that fixes 60fps video recording and slow motion video for the GCam. Removed that module and instantly YouTube was back to normal.
Hope this helps a few people.

Hello
I am using Galaxy S8 plus (Latest update as of security patch dated Aug 1) with MX Player Pro (+ Neon Codec) . Whenever the player is working in background , it plays for like 10 or maximum 30 minutes and then it will no longer making any sound. (I am using this to listen to hours of music videos in backgroud in all my android devices)
I have checked and this is happen no matter using HW/HW+/SW codec and also it is same behavior no matter running on SD or Internal storage. (The Video are just 320p video)
I've already put the app monitoring on Galaxy S8+ stop / add to the unmonitored list and behavior is also same
If I use VLC to do the same in background , it doesn't stop so assume that is not SD card problem I am hitting ( no error in SD Card Monitor app)
Anyone have similar problem ? Thanks

I can actually reproduce the problem now (not on a specific video but seems to be something longer than e.g. 22 minutes )
Let me send you a video link from youtube and you can do that simulation on your side by download it to the internal folder by using same video I am using (not only one video have problem but I play the same file twice and figured out both 2 times stop on around similar time frame)
I will provide the logs when I back home

Thank you , this means I am not alone on this issue.
It doesn't seem to happen with every file...some MP3s seem fine, some fail consistently, AVC/AAC from YouTube and Twitch have the same problem, but less frequently. This podcast seems to have the problem pretty consistently...it'll play for about 10 minutes 50 seconds and then stop until you close the file and open it again or seek forward. Just got this phone and didn't have any of these problems on my S5 with all the same settings.

HI,
we have tried the same youtube video in our S8 Plus multiple times. still, couldn't reproduce the issue. It played completely till the end. Are running the device in power saver mode? In the logs, We have noticed buffering throughout the playback which is quite abnormal for a local file. The second thing the video was continuously playing till you tapped on the notification.
Is it possible to collect the complete system logs using adb? The bug report from MX Player will be limited MX Player logs.
Complete logs may give more insight if it's something related to system services.

Hi Thirumalai,
I guess that is related to some buffer related setting as well. It is same for powersave , on , off , on with unmonitored app etc ( on all HW/HW+/SW codec combination)

Is this log collected immediately after noticing the issue?
The last playback was a mp3 file & lasted 1-2mins.
Looks like you are playing through a Bluetooth device. is it happens when playing through internal speakers?
Suspect it happens when there is a drop on the Bluetooth connection.

I'd thought the same thing initially but it happens whether Bluetooth is connected or not. That particular file always plays for about 10 minutes at a time so it makes it easier to reproduce the problem but I was playing at 400% speed for brevity - it stops in the same way at normal speed. The logs are intentionally cut down in order to keep only relevant data. The same file plays fine on my S5 and other videos and audio do the same thing though less consistently.
I have starting to notice this has occurred more frequently lately with the Mate 9. Sometime when I opened a youtube video on the app, the video is just completely black. The audio played just fine, but there's just no video. I have try clearing cache and even go as far as factory reset several times but this issue always comes back. Is there any recommendation or settings I can change to get rid of the issue once and for all? I did not experienced this with any of my previous snapdragon phones so I don't know if it's a Kirin thing or not. I would appreciate any input from anyone that'd experienced this. TIA.
common issue among several devices. It is a youtube app problem.
I switched to newpipe for viewing videos. Never looked back.
I had this problem. Assumed it was YouTube as I've had zero issues with my Mate 9. Probably issue their end.
I have the same issue. It's very annoying.

The Netflix app version mentioned above is working fine for me on Oreo.
You can find it on APK Mirror, last 4.xx release.
There's an on going issue I have when running the app at 60 90 or 120hz with WiFi on / off and one 4g where the app launches but then the content starts to play and will crash and reboot the phone without errors. If the video plays back more than 10seconds of content then it's fine. I've stummped razer on this as they thought it was buffering but I've had other phones on the same sim card and wireless networks and they don't crash

its too random to really replicate i just use the phone normally and then maybe at lunchtime try to open Netflix - The app always opens and lets you navigate and select a video however about 85% of the time when the video is up on screen it will play 1-2 seconds freeze and then restart the phone.
If the video plays longer than 10 seconds then generally it wouldn be a problem.
It happens more often on the 120hz setting but did occur when using 90 and 60 settings but just not as much.
I put so much of my time into troubleshooting the issue however Razer have now told me they are aware of the cause and believe they have fixed the issue in the next system update so assuming its fixed in MR4 and not a Netflix/Network issue.

So I just updated MX Player Pro, and am getting a weird issue. I have background playback on, and everything was fine previously. Now, however, if I every switch, and background playback starts, it messes up what happens after the video ends. Ie, if the video isn't over when I switch back, it will keep playing, and when it does end, it drops to the launcher. If the video is over when I switch back, it just restarts, and will drop to the launcher when over, or if you ff to the end.
Even tried clearing storage, etc. I don't know if its a bug, regression, cantfix, wontfix, etc. Anybody have any ideas?

Even tried clearing storage, etc. I don't know if its a bug, regression, cantfix, wontfix, etc. Anybody have any ideas?

I just hope its an easy issue to fix (seems related to the popout video feature), as 99% of the time I watch videos in the background, and switch to mxplayer for the next one. Its not hard to drop to the launcher, but it takes longer.
