So I'm owner of unrooted Galaxy S7 (SM-G930F, Android 8.0.0) and I've came up against an issue. I was just looking at YouTube video preview a day ago and everything was ok, but yesterday in evening I've noticed that preview (muted playback in feed/autoplay) actually has a little frame lag/freeze/stutter at the very beginning of the video (like on 0.5 seconds and it applies to every video). Then I've noticed that preview isn't wrong, it's actually video itself but on my other devices (iPad mini 3 and PC) everything goes smooth from the beginning. So conclusion is that something went wrong on my device or with YouTube app itself (I've tried rolling back and experienced same issue). I've tried clearing cache, reinstalling app, rolling back to older version (from 14.49.51 to 13.46.53) and nothing helped. I'll be quite happy if someone will share solution with me.

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.
Heya everyone!
I am having an issue with my S6 that involves video playback.
The 2 scenario's I am experiencing this issue in are:
- youtube app: it will play audio, but video gives a black screen
- whatsapp: will open a video, but it doesn't play (as if it was just a picture). also doesn't open gif files at all.
yet youtube works fine in the browser, and i can watch my whatsapp gifs and video's from the gallery as normal too. (but it is still a BIG problem!!!!)
Sometimes when I restart my phone, it will start working. and other times it will just randomly start working again too.
But after a while, it will just break again and goes back to the problems described above.
I am experiencing this on different versions of the Stock Nougat firmware, even after full data wipes (including wiping the internal storage).
So I am totally clueless, but I find it hard to believe this is a hardware issue, since it does work sometimes, and then it doesn't work other times.
Any help, advice or insight in this issue is appreciated
In the recent days I've experienced crashes that made the phone reboot. One was just watching YouTube like normal, another while I played NDS emulated games and another today when I tried to turn on the flashlight while the phone was locked. Everything is stock but I hope this issue is fixed in the next version.
youtube app freezes randomly while playing videos. it starts playing again after 10 seconds or so.
i 've also noticed that if i pull up the keyboard in another app (while youtube video is frozen), the keypress sound doesn't work.
it seems like the audio component of android craps out at random times which causes the freezing issues.
happens rarely but it's annoying nonetheless. and it only happens in youtube. never had any audio/video issues with mxplayer.
is it just my phone, or is this also happening to other folks with the z5?
running official firmware 7.1.1. I was using NOBA firmware (7.1.1) before, but i have since switched to Canadian firmware(7.1.1). So far so good, but I'm sure this problem will come back soon enough. I've also tried 7.0 Global firmware and youtube crapped out on that too.
No unlocked bootloaders/roots or anything like that. Running pure stock mode.
Full wipe and flash last rom.
For the past month or so, I have noticed that Youtube sometimes pauses while I am playing a video on my Android tablet. I do have Youtube Premium and I have tried clearing the cache, updating my device, and no luck. I have been tutuapp tweakbox googling for hours to no avail. I am not sure what is causing this issue as I was not running into this a few months ago. I have noticed that it happens more often after I let a video finish and then rewind it to the start of the video. All help would be beyond appreciated.

Most likely given that you didn't had any interaction with the tablet and youtube. Keep using the tablet while watching that video and see if the bug repeats.
