I've noticed that when I play either of the Transformers movies that the audio and the video are out of sync. I tried viewing some other mp4s as well and they have the same problem. Does anyone have this problem as well? Has anyone found a way to fix this? I just recently upgraded to a class 6 microSD card too, so I don't think that there are any problems with my microSD card. Thanks alot for any feedback.
Just got mine in the mail and I noticed this also. It is very slight mismatch but I noticed it on the Transformer movies.
I don't know if it's an audio issue or what. If I find something I'll repost. Figured you would at least want to know if others see it too.
It is good to know it's not just me, thank you for that. I've tried viewing the movies through android and have noticed less of a discrepency in the audio-video sync, could it just be a windows mobile thing?
Hi all new member,
When trying to play music videos from the device, ext. micro sd card, (not streaming online, that's ok) 95% of the time I can hear the sound but not see the video. Dosn't matter what player, what format, most of the time they won't play. If their very low quality they seem to be ok but at times even they won't play. This is on a stock install with the Dexter mod and updates. Everything else works great except videos. I have tried in .mp4 and .avi formats, no difference.
I searched these forums as well as the internet. There seems to be a lot of people with the same issue, but I was unable to find a solution. That is when I joined here to see if you guys knew of a way to eliminate this problem. I have had the unit for about a month and didn't have the issue in the beginning, it just started recently. I haven't installed anything other than I'm currently trying the VTL Launcher. I tried uninstalling that and going back to the default launcher, no difference.
Any help or guidance would be much appreciated.

Try rockplayer, you have the option of software or hardware decoding, most likely it will on software..
I have this problem, hope you know WTH is wrong..
every time I try to record a video with my evo, after a few seconds the image freeze a little and audio de-sync.
i have some vids and all the same, start ok, but after a few seconds video freeze for a second and get this lip desync, tryed diferent encoder and same thing, also lower resolution and the same =(
I `m sad cause i got a bautiful vid of my baby daugther laughin and it came the same, now i am trying to fix it on adobe premier
any idea how to fix this??
sd card is a 8gb Kingston HC class 4, do i need a faster one?
EVo 4G
android 2.3.5
Not Rooted..
A faster card couldn't hurt. I would recommend doing a factory reset first, just to be sure it's not a software bug.
got my Nexus Player tonight and, while there are definitely things that need improvement, overall it's pretty good.. I was watching netflix with no issue for about 3 hours, then went to get some dinner.. Came back and it was having issues connecting.. error NW-4-8. signed out and back in and it was able to connect, but now, any time that I start to stream something on netflix, it crashes the entire unit.. my tv starts flashing "No Signal" and i have to unplug/replug it.. This happening to anyone else? I haven't tried reseting it to defaults yet, and will try that if it's not fixed tomorrow, but wanted to see if anyone else was having the same issues..
Haven't seen that myself but try clearing cache/data for netflix before resetting the whole box.
Sent from my Nexus 5
ill give that a try.. from the apps menu, right? i dont think i've seen any way to do that from within netflix.

Settings (bottom left icon, looks like a gear)-> Apps, find netflix, clear data.
You'll need to resign in, ect. I had to do this the other night on one of my ADT-1's because I had a similar error, and it wouldn't connect to netflix.
ok, so after doing this, it worked for awhile.. now i can't play anything on netflix at all.. just gives a blank screen when i select something to watch.. the netflix app is crap on the player, unfortunatly.. hulu/plex/ted... all others are working with no issues, but netflix is extremely inconsistant.. such a disappointment for an app that should have been ready at launch.

Same! Netflix works great here.
Both Plex and Netflix have plenty of bugs on Android TV. I'm speaking from my experience on the ADT-1. Neither company has been actively fixing bugs. .. Plex has their forums, but the devs just ignore you.. and update **** no one cares about, like sync, or previews.

I dont mind a bug or two here and there, plex at least works, just like hulu and all the other basic apps from large streaming companies.. But netflix just freaking crashes the unit.. Its fully unusable with no rhyme or reason why. I've uninstalled, signed in and out, tried both 5ghz and normal networks, reset and started over even and its just not working.. And without root, i cant even install logcat to track down the issue in a more logical manner. Whata even more frustrating is that i seem to be alone wih the issue.. The only thing ive noticed is that when netflix tries to load a video, it'll count 1-6%, jump to 63%, then to 99%, then goes to a black screen. Then my screen flashes no signal. If i hit the home button a few times, itll come back to the home screen, but nothing changes... Anyone elae with ideas, pkease feel free to chime in. Im fairly comfortable with adb abd faatboot if that helps..

I have this problem as well, trying to watch anything on Netflix turns the video signal off to the TV, pressing back takes me back and turns the display back on. I'm using an older viewsonic TV so I tried moving the player to a newer Samsung tv and it works fine. So I'm just going to go ahead and point my finger at those DRM demons and blame them based solely on conjecture and sit and wait hoping for a patch or fix. (Netflix plays on the viewsonic fine with Roku and Chromecast, just not the nexus player.)
I'm having this same issue. Is there any resolution yet? The TV will flicker about an HDMI-CEC failure when this occurs, so I'm curious if there's a connection there.
Nope -- no connection. I disabled HDMI-CEC on the television, and Netflix still pretends to load the video and then displays a black screen. Tried clearing the Netflix cache and data, but this does nothing to solve the problem. Netflix worked fine for two days, and now this.
Had the same thing happen with the movie play store movie I rented. . Video would go black and only hear the audio. . I can unplug the hdmi from the tv and plug it back in and it will work for awhile. .. called Google they tried to blame it on the movie app.. and of course while on the phone it works fine. . Call google everyone. .
so, got root tonight and was able to grab a logcat.. looks like it's the HDCP authentication thats breaking, like we all thought.. here's the link to the log info, in case anyone smarter than me wants to take a look and maybe find something helpful (google docs link)::

FWIW, I went ahead and swapped out HDMI cables and the new one, so far, is working great with Netflix & Nexus Player.

Yeah -- it doesn't make any sense to me either. I didn't have issues with any of the other apps when I was having the problem with Netflix going black. Fortunately, I haven't had the Netflix problem since changing the HDMI cable several days ago <knock wood>.
Per my post at http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-player/general/netflix-buffering-issues-t2961438, reinstalling NetFlix addressed NetFlix failing to work at all.
since I started this post, I wanted to post an update.. I never was able to get netflix to work in my setup.. I have my tv, hooked into a monoprice HDMI switch, then into the NP.. no other apps were having any issues at all except for the netflix app.. because netflix is 99% of what I would do on the player right now (seeing as there's very little development for it currently), I've returned my NP. I may grab another one at a later date, if development picks up, but right now, that's a device killing issue for me. hopefully nobody else runs into this issue.
Hi all. I've done a search on this issue in this forum and didn't come across any threads, so I'm hoping someone can help me out.
Two months ago my husband broke down and turned in his firestarter for the V20. Everything transferred fine and life was good until the last few days. His phone has an SD card in it, and both the device and card have pics and videos that have either been taken with the v20 or with previous phones. For some reason sporadic pics/videos won't work now. HE can literally take 5 pics, see them fine in the gallery, try to open 3 of them, and they will hang when opening. Videos will give a 'can't load video message'.
I've tried moving them to either the card or the device, turning off cloud backup, downloading a different video player, changing the default apps. I also have a v20 and put his card in my phone and they worked fine.
Please, any suggestions to help me fix this would be greatly appreciated. I'm not afraid to dig as I'm a net admin by trade, but I'm an Android novice (my stuff always just works!) & don't want to brick this thing trying to fix it.
You usually can't go wrong trying a factory reset, I'd give that a shot. But if that does nothing for you, I'd guess it's maybe a hardware problem, since the media all opens fine on your own V20...
