[Q] Stuttering of videos in YouTube app

sort of related to this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2526265
Everything is stock on my phone and I'm running YouTube 5.2.27 with the new KitKat OS. I'm experiencing a bit of stutter/jitter when playing videos on YouTube in both low and high quality. The motion of the video isn't quite fluid. When playing the same vids through Freedi YT player or through the browser, I don' t see this issue at all but I love watching vids on the app the most, but can't stand the stutter.
Is anyone else experiencing the same issues? Sorry if this has been answered, I just couldn't find anything about it asides from the thread above me.

Having the same trouble, any solutions?

Are you running on 3G, LTE, Wifi? and it has to do with the version of youtube. Currently unnoticed with Franco kernel but may have somthing to do with the release build. Try clearing data/cache to see if that works. If not, uninstall the updates to factory to see if problem persists since that version. Reinstall again and try that as well.

[Q] Music playback doesn't work / player crashes

So i've got this Problem with two identical phones now. (International single SIM version)
In some roms (mostly Cyan based) with a version higher than 4.4.2 the phone fails to play music through all players or apps.
When you play a song the whole system begins to stutter extremely and the procces ends in either the app crashing or the phone freezing.
Any help or ideas to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

its simple i found the fix for this issue

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.

My brothers Nexus 5 and S4... Works perfectly..

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.

Video doesn't load and when I download it, no video is being output thru VLC.

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

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.

[Q] Does Poweramp play without crashing on the Mate 9?

The only other phone I've used with 7.0 Nougat was the OnePlus 3T and Poweramp crashed all the time when accessing files via Artist, for example.
Can anyone tell me if Poweramp is still having this issue for your on the Mate 9? I assume it's an issue with Nougat, but development seems to be dead on Poweramp, so crash logs haven't helped.

Weird thread format but yes. I use Poweramp and gmmp player.

Is it stable when you select Artist, etc. in Poweramp?

Yes, just randomly clicked a bunch of different things and no crash. I've never heard of your issue with any of my nougat devices.

Yes, I should have mentioned that I'm running the alpha build.
