Hulu Plus issues on custom roms

Hulu Plus is having issues on my P5113 device running custom ROMs, however, the issue is not present when running ICS or jellybean stock roms.
What's happening is that the video will basically shrink down to a half inch bar as is visible in the attached photo. The issue will persist until Hulu is either minimized or it switches to commercials, after which point the video playback will appear normal for a few moments and then the issue will return.
Ive tried all sorts of different ROMs: CM, PA, AOKP, but the issue occurs on all of them. I have also tried tinkering with some of the developer options like forcing GPU playback and disabling HW overlays, but nothing has worked. I am currently running the latest version of hulu available from the Play store, but i have also tried older versions. BTW, there are no sound issues and this issue does not occur in other video playback apps such as Netflix.
I tried searching for this problem, but did not come up with anything. Is anyone else out there having this same issue, or does anyone know what might solve the problem?
Thanks for your help!

Having the same issue here, on my p3113 running cm 10.1. I installed the modded hulu from the posdt above, but the video quality in the app is terrible. Unless I'm doing something wrong? Any help would be awesome as I love this ROM, but really love hulu more haha.

Instagram, Vine, Gallery Videos and others LAG!

Does anyone notice this;
(I've also tested this with my friends OnePlus One, manufacturers dates are about 1 month apart)
With instagram videos, vine videos, gallery videos, etc.. When I play them and then pause, I notice when I play it again it lags and the audio countinues to play but the video just stops unless I keep playing/pausing back and forth till the video resumes again. Don't know what this is buts its really annoying. Googled the answer for this and it seems no one has this issue.. I've tried several roms including CM11s gives me the same issue. Any solution or fix?

I think it has to do more with the app loading the video than the phone itself. I don't have issues playing videos in my gallery, but on Instagram and Vine, even Snapchat sometime lag.

With my Galaxy Note 2, side by side there is no lag, no stutter - when I pause the video expecting to play it back its smooth..

My brothers Nexus 5 and S4... Works perfectly..
Why would it only be doing this on the OnePlus One...?

does it constantly lag?

Yes. When I play any types of videos and pause them I get a lag (video frozen but audio countinues to play) when I press play again. Sometimes it will lag for 2-3s then continue to play.

Wipe the cache on the gallery, vine, and instagram.

You PM'd me about this earlier. I don't use Instagram, Vine, or Gallery Videos (I use Gallery but I don't notice any lag in videos, I rarely ever use it though).
Some suggestions,
- Have you tried? http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/themes-apps/mod-smooth-scrolling-mod-mahdi-rom-t2840934
- Have you tried any custom kernels? If so, which ones?
- Are these fresh installations of Vine/Instagram/etc? Or are they backups from prior phones. If they're not fresh installations, try @Nexii's tip. If it continues to proceed, reinstall the app.

Same thing happens to me. Happens mainly on Instagram.
Like I might replay a video and the beginning of the video freezes but the audio continues to play. It has done this one every ROM I've used on the OnePlus One. May be hardware related.

i just played a few videos and have no lag running cm11s.

I'm starting to believe that too as my other friend is not affected by this.

It's not hardware. Hardware wouldn't make your videos lag. It's software and is caused by your set up. Take a video of the lag if you must demonstrate it.

I'm having the same problem through Windows.But downloading the video to my note 2 is no problem. No Xposed or Art enabled. I tried ART aswell same issue..
Restored it to latest CM11s thus removing custom recovery, root etc and still same problem

No lag on my i9505.

Update;
I flashed the XNPH25R and went on with the phone, the phone did not have any of that absurd lag..

After flashing the next update in sequence, XNPH30O, the lag exists. Maybe related to the firmware updating from 4.4.2 to 4.4.4

[Q] CM 12s/12.x - Video buffering/stuttering/lagging

Hello everyone.
I've been using CM for a while and I am aware of one bug which annoys me the most. When I try to watch streamed content in e.g. google chrome, MX player (hardware decoding) video stops playing after some time (10-90sec), then after few more seconds it starts playing sound but image remains frozen. I've already tried disabling NuPlayer, updating WebView, full wipe, re-flashing, using nightlies, but unfortunately nothing works. This bug appears on CM 12s and also on every nightly builds. It seems like a problem with buffer, because when video starts playing sound (with frozen image) video timer moves back few minutes/seconds.
It doesn't happen when using software decoding e.g. MX Player S/W, VLC or youtube app.
Is there any way to fix it?
Jira - bug report
OPO official forum
Thanks in advance for response.

No fix as of yet. This is the reason why I'm back on CM11s. I can't take this bug anymore. I sure as hell hope @cyanogen aren't proud of this update.

I don't have an issue streaming any kind of content using Google Chrome, Lightning Browser etc. If there is an app that does behave funky, its Instagram. After two loops, it begins to stutter and freeze etc. This bug has been there since Kit Kat however

Try to watch 1080p or 720p video in chrome that is longer than 3 minutes, you'll see what I'm talking about.

If there's no fix yet, maybe there's some way to force other apps to use e.g. MX player/VLC for streamed content?

I streamed skynews hd for about 25 minutes without issues

Does it with me, but Chrome only. I used Firefox and the long loading times aren't there.

Because Firefox uses there own built-in video. Chrome isn't the issue, its CM12 in general. I'm back on CM11s because of this crap and videos work perfectly in chrome now.

This bug is driving me crazy.. Is there any rom that doesn't have this problem?

Yep, stock cm11s is fine. And anything on lollipop that's not built from CM sources seems to work fine like Oxygen for example. Oh and the 12.1 nightlies have it, but much more usable than CMOS12 junk

I would like to have android 5.x because I've got used to it already, also I've heard that OxygenOS is even worse.
Here's the list of missing features and the list of bugs in OxygenOS: https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/oxygen-os-issues-thread.289981/
The question is if there's some other ROM based on Lollipop except the OxygenOS and based on CM12.
P.S. I really hate myself for deleting CM11s backup..

I used oxygen for a bit and actually thought it was excellent. No video playback bug I found there. The only reason why I can't stick with oxygen is 1. No privacy guard and 2. Camera sucks with no raw capture. Otherwise it was great.
CM12 itself is great, but the video playback bug for me is a nasty deal-breaker. CM12.1 nightlies (currently using the latest) are fantastic and the video playback bug is there but not nearly as bad as CM12. I can deal with it on nightlies.
CM11s I think is pretty much just perfect all round rom. Everything for me work as it should. I bounce between 11s and nightlies.
That's all I can offer you for help man.

Thank you very much for the answers. I will just bite the bullet and try to live with it for now, but I hope it will be fixed soon.

Google Photos Videos jerky playback on cm12.1?

Videos play fine when on the phone through Video Player.
If I load Google Photos, play a video there, the playback is crazy jerky. Same video on google photos app on iOS does not do it.
Can't recall having the problem on OxygenOS but was wondering if anyone else had this issue before going back to O2 (1.01 broke touchscreen for me)
Thanks

Simpler request:
Could someone running 12.1 tell me if video is choppy in google photos please? Wish to see if the problem is on my end or an issue with Google Photos.
Many thanks!

Wiped, re-flashed Oxygen OS 1.0 (not 1.01), still same problem with Google Photos video playback. Choppy. The same videos are not choppy on iOS nor on desktop website (in chrome).
Perhaps a bug with Google Photos app?

I have this problem too. I hadn't tried the stock gallery app until I saw this post. It worked fine.
I wonder is its just oneplus related or dies it occur on other phones too?

Searching the web, saw that many users have issue on nexus devices (6 and 10). Seems like the latest versions of Google Photos are to blame. Haven't tried uninstalling current ver and installing old one through apkmirror yet to confirm.

I can confirm this issue.
OPO COS12.1, Google photos last version (1.4.).
Had the same problem on COS12.
When I revert photos app to version 1.0.1 the video plays fine.
Definitely photos app problem.
I will stick to 1.0.1 version of the app until there is an improvement in the app itself.

U should install a dpi-free youtube and before that set playstore to not automatic update apps. First uninstall the one u have on it now.
I have this one and works well. Ignore youtube application asking for update.

You hardware decoder is broken..... So you face that almost everywhere.... You gotta live with it

There is one better rom Lineage 14.1 (not from highway). It works great with YouTube
