Hi everyone, today I just notice you can't watch YouTube TV while on Night Mode on but you can hear the audio. Also Netflix picture in picture is not possible. Any thoughts?
Thanks.

I had this same problem with Google play movies and TV and movies anywhere app last week. I guess it's something related to night mode being on. I haven't tested it out again since the update but I take it that it's still giving us issues?

when i go to watch netflix movies on my gtab the website lets me click on the movie but wont play it. it does it on certain websites too to watch videos. any suggestions?
Netflix is using the Microsoft Silverlight plugin to play the movies in a browser. This is not available for Android.
Playon is supposed to be released for Andriod ..... it plays netflix ....that seems to be the closest, soon to be viable option
Android app supposed to come this century. Hopefully that will help our streaming woes.

If they ever do it that would be nice. I have Playon loaded on my server and using an app called upnplay I can access Playon, but so far have not been able to play anything. It tries, and then quits.

Hey man just use ice films (WWW.icefilms.info) , similar to Netflix. If u have cookies enabled u can save the shows/movies you want to see by clicking on the yellow star next to the title. I wrote a how to guide for it. I can't post links yet but I just wrote it yesterday. The thread is called, How to get icefilms to work on the g tab.
Hope this helps ya out.
I just purchased a movie and tried to play it over WT and I get a msg saying this movie was downloaded to another device. Anyone seen this yet!?
It seems that when I try to play the movie it thinks I am trying to play it on my Bolt... anyway around this?

I read the thread regarding watching the movie thru YouTube and I tried to use that work around but I received the same message that it had been downloaded on another device.
Like I say I think it just simply will not work thru wireless tether because both devices have the same IP address..... maybe?
Google play store says HD movies are not supported on this device.
why?
Dunno? Slow internet? I am watching Transformers Dark of the Moon (free with my nexus 7) in HD or so my shield claims I am. I am starting to hate google, youtube is broken the movies keep crashing and if I try and skip back to where I was at the last crash it insta-crashes.

I asked for this for Christmas to watch some Netflix and YouTube videos on my TV in my room instead of my phone. If anybody has Chromecast with this phone can you tell me if it works? If it does, how is it?
It should work since the Chromecast app is available for our phone (last time I checked).

Ever since I updated to Android 10 I've been having issues with video Playback on streaming services such as Netflix, Google Play Movies and YouTube TV! The phone plays just fine then few hours later it starts frame skipping /stutter and the image freezes! This also applies to offline playback!
The latest update (55.1.A.3.49) didn't fix the issue! Anybody is experiencing this on their device?
Tested on Customized US, Customized UK and Customized HK firmware
I get this when using prime video.
On uk vodafone network software
Only way to fix it is to reboot the phone

Yeah it works fine after reboot for few hours then it craps out again! It's a big glitch in Android 10 update that needs to be fixed! And this phone was advertised for best in class media playback!
At least I know it's not just my phone!
I get problems when my wifi isn't good and it switches between mobile data or wifi. I usually get the program to download first now to prevent this from happening but pretty sure its a poor wifi signal.

I disabled the smart clean function and then mine stopped with the stuttering.

I just tried that, unfortunately it did not fix the stuttering issue on Netflix and YouTube TV
I found out that it only seems to affect DRM content, which is bizarre. Hopefully this is sorted at somepoint because it's one of the major selling points of the phone (including the X1)

I think you are right! Cause it doesn't affect the video captured by the camera or video playback inside the album app. Only DRM streaming services including live TV

Yep! I initially thought it had something to do with the Dolby Atmos EQ but quickly found out it only happened with DRM video content. I'm hoping Sony fixes this because it's my second Sony phone :laugh:

After .112 update it's now only affecting HDR content on Netflix! It's like they half fixed the issue! 3 months after Android 10 has been released and can't watch anything on my phone on Netflix!

Some progress is better than none I suppose.
Prime Video seems to be fixed, I think I saw like one dropped frame but the video and audio doesn't constantly stutter which is amazing.
Play Movies/YT Movies is worthless, don't even bother lol.
Side note: video recording has had improvements too, as the camera version has been bumped up and there's some under-the-hood changes.
