I have looked but not found any answer yet so I'm trying my luck here.
When looking at a video (can be self made video, something someone sent me and even YouTube videos) the screen basically cuts 2/3 so I'm left with just a small part of the screen. It happens very randomly, some videos have it and others don't.
Anyone had any similar experiences and a solution to this very odd thing? I'll add some screenshots to show exactly what it is. Thanks!

Hi, I've recently been playing around with my gf's HTC EVO 4G. The other day she installed flash 10.1 from AuxLV's post:
forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6569529&postcount=16
I curiously visited sites to see if video would work. To my amazement, veoh, myspace, wisevid, tnt.tv(Leverage), and many other flash videos work. I noticed people have had mixed results but I believe I've narrowed down the issues people have been having to, quite hilariously, a simple fix.
When you go to a site, for example veoh, and you click on a video. It looks like the video is about to come up but nothing happens. All you have to do is actually *click* on the video again and it will start playing.
Lol... so there it is... people haven't been "clicking" on the videos. Maybe out of fear that that tapping the video while it's loading would upset the delicate space-time continuum that holds the fabric of the universe together and make the video not come up, lol. Idk, but there you have it folks, start your *clicking*, and havezzza funs.
Oh also, I have used the dolphin browser hd and I think I clicked on the play button as well as the actual center of the videos. It'll look like a white box of nothing but when I tap the video it starts playing in magnificent quality. Good luck!
Have a few questions about Screencasting, and I really couldn't find a definitive answer, so I knew this was the best place to ask...
I review Android Games & Apps for a site, and normally when I need a video I'll just youtube link it. I try to find Indie games, and review things a lot of folks might miss and unfortunately you can't always find a video available.
I know there's a modded version of Shootme! floating around, and it worked well but the quality wasn't really that great for some games I tried it on another big drawback was the lack of sound. Are there any other programs to try, or another way to go about it? Anything that does sound out there?
I've seen some very professional looking videos with audio and flawless video playback by some of the big dev companies so I know it can be done, just not sure how to do it. I know I could record the gameplay with a video camera like a lot of people do, but I'd prefer to keep my fingers out of the picture and literally just do a screencast with audio.
It might not be feasible, but I thought I would ask as it's been bugging me for awhile now. Any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks in advance!

AFAIK: for anything above 10 fps framerate, you probably need another solution like a video (HD) capture card + an Android device with (m)HDMI-out.
So I've attached two images below. They are of two different YouTube videos being played on the Dolphin browser on my Note 10.1. As you can see, one plays normally, but the other is a grey box. It usually takes a while to actually start playing and when it does, it becomes a different aspect ratio (4:3 instead of the 16: 9 or 16:10 that it should be). Does anyone know why this happens and have a way to fix it? l know a simple solution would be to use the YouTube application or the YouTube mobile site, but I prefer the quality options of the desktop site.

Yea, I didn't realize that I forgot one until now LOL.
Yesterday I recorded videos with my phone. Today I wanted to watch them and I could watch two videos but I couldn't watch the third video. When I try to open it with the Albums app it says that "Cannot play video. Invalid URL." when I try to open it with Google photos app it just says that "Can't play video.". The video is in mp4 format and was recorded with my Sony Xperia Z2 running stock rom and not rooted. The three videos were recorded the same way. How can I recover that video? If you need more details just ask them. Please help!
Its probably not recoverable, that error you got suggests the video was from the web, a URL is usually for a web address. See if there is somewhere online that you were viewing videos on or an app that you may have viewed/downloaded a video in, see if you can view it like that.
can someone help?
If you can't view it then its corrupted, a corrupted video can't be fixed unless you're willing to tear the file open and manually edit each bit so that it shows all the video and audio that you want it to, if you've got a few months to play around with it. You'd have to fix every bit and piece from start to finish to make sure it plays right and shows what you originally recorded. That's no easy thing even for those that do it every day, it takes a lot of trial and error and extensive knowledge, you'd basically be computer generating all the missing pieces then you've got to get it to blend in so that it plays correctly. Its only ONE video, I hope it wasn't a really important one because unless you know how to piece it back together like a forensic scientist its gone for good, but I'm guessing that you don't have that kind of knowledge or you would have already done it, its been this long and you haven't fixed it and noone is answering so I'd say you're out of luck, give up on that ONE video and move on. Just saying I really think you're wasting your time.

ok, I couldn't do anything with it so I haven't wasted my time, but it was a good video, but not so important
I seem to get weird screen artifacts when trying to watch360° YouTube videos using Google Cardboard. The 360° videos work fine in normal viewing mode (i.e can look around fine by moving phone) but as soon as I hit the cardboard icon to switch to 'cardboard mode' (split screen video), the video has strange starburst artifacts.
It's fine when the phone is on a flat surface (looking down) but when you look up or around the artifacts appear.
I have uploaded a screen recording of the problem to YouTube but can't seem to embed video (or direct link) as a new user of these forums. Use the URL below to view:
youtube.com/watch?v=hINprrc3jnU
Android version: 6.0
YouTube app version: 10.43.60
Anyone else have the same problem?
found this thread through google and also saw you posted on Reddit. Having the exact same issue with a Samsung Note 5 and newest Youtube

Well it's the weirdest thing but it is no longer occurring for me! I'm not sure what has changed, Android & YouTube app version are the same. I did fine tune my cardboard settings by creating a custom QR code at:
google.co.uk/get/cardboard/viewerprofilegenerator
but I had already tried that a couple of times before and it didn't fix my problems (though it did seem to reduce severity of artifacts). Perhaps I just stumbled across the correct config 3rd time around? the default config that came with QR on the cardboard version I bought was terrible – double vision etc.
Same problem here with a Galaxy S6 and a BoboVR Z4 headset. The weirdest thing is that I started to see these screen artifacts just a few weeks ago, for no apparent reason. Everything had been working fine for me on Youtube 360° videos until then. By the way, I've tried several different profiles (QR codes), to no avail.
Same problem here with a Galaxy Note 5 & Dream Vision Pro I'm going to try some of the previous APK's of Youtube to see if I can get one working. It sounds like Youtube went and fixed something that wasn't broken again. Anyone else have the Magnet button stop working as well?
After a recent update of the app, I'm not noticing these screen artifacts anymore. Looks like it's been fixed.
