youtube player app from blackstone is playing video baldy with the generic UK R2A ROM. Very sluggish and lags a lot. Never had this problem with any of the ROMs i used before. Note that the video playback is good with this ROM, its just youtube videos on "high quality" with the youtube app play very slow and lagy.
I tried to re-install the app, not luck. Still videos play bad.
Any thoughts?
Guys anyone with the new generic UK ( or any R2A ROM) can atleast try youtube videos (on high quality please) and report?
would like to know if this is a problem with my phone or is it the ROM.
I reflashed generic UK ROM again (yes reflash, not hard reset) but still facing the same lag playing HD videos.
ive got the same lag while playin HQ videos with the new r2a swedish fw

Same here I'm using I'm rom new one
if you're with Vodafone UK, they say there's problems with gootube traffic currently and they're planning on changing something on their network to resolve it. if it's wifi/non-VF-UK, then i've no idea.
i'd try it myself, but mine's off for repair. using an N73 in the interim. grim.
It lags when using WiFi and High Quality Youtube here.
As long as the video loads, it lags very much and as soon as the file is fully loaded it runs smooth.
Are you guys/girls having problems with Internet access?
Opera Mobile/RSS hub has no problems connecting, but PIE remains forever on "Searching" (and never really pulls the website). The same is the case with Gmail using Pocket Outlook (IMAP/POP3). Thank goodness for Opera Mobile otherwise I would have gone back to R1A.
What I'm getting at, is maybe it's something to do with the DNS lookup/download routines? Is anyone else having the same problem?

This I dunno, because I never tried youtube with the old ROM.
But it's very annoying. I would let it load completely before watching but it seems that the video won't completely load before you start watching it -maybe there is a buffer size that has been set too little?
Yesterday night, I wanted to show a few music video to my girlfriend (no, it's NOT the best thing I know to do in bed ) but first it won't load completely and after a few seconds it started lagging. Then I had to pause it to let it load a little more.
^^lol. watching desktop youtube vids on opera is smoother. video plays smooth even when its still loading.
I also have lag in the youtube app since the r2a Dutch Rom
Anyone has a solution?
I have lag with R2A generic UK too.
Plays fine once the whole video is loaded.
It's choppy here too. Generic UK R2AA.
I've been playing a lot with the registry settings but there does not seem to be any difference no matter what I do.
I did manage to find one useful setting though; Set 'DisplayThroughput' = 1 and you can see the kBytes/s transferred in the titlebar when playing a video.
so is everyone saying that the upgraded rom is not as efficient at playing youtube as the old rom? or is it about the same?
i really dont watch you tube on my xperia but just curious. i got an x1a with the original firmware and for what i use it for, ive had no problems with it (bluetooth, wifi, phone calls, connections, gps) and so upgrading would be like pointless for me or not worth taking a chance to upgrade and be disappointed.
^^yes. video playback on the youtube app is laggy when its not fully loaded. def not the same.
Nothing wrong with mine. NAM rom, YouTube from the manilla cab.
Got the same problem, thru WIFI-connection. A friend says his is good but he goes thru turbo3g. Could it be a wifi-error?
It's the same on HSDPA here, so it's not necessarily a wi-fi problem. I did try with 3G only, and it does play a lot better, but not 100 % smooth as when the video is fully downloaded. (Additionally, HQ over 3G is not usable.)
It looks kind of like video on a windows computer without a display driver installed (default VGA windows driver installed). Choppy and laggy as hell. This may be connected to the same issue in video playback, where the Xperia has problems playing videos that should play smoothly. It may be some sort of I/O problem - prioritizing or the like.
We have to remember that Youtube is made for HTC devices, not 100 % Xperia X1. There may be some hidden issues there. Let's hope SE comes up with their own YT panel or app.
I flashed back to the old ROM for now, until someone fix this problem. Youtube is kinda important for me

Hi. I'm currently running MIUI 2.1.20 (see link below)
http://forums.miui.us/showthread.php?13388-MIUI-us-Kindle-Fire-rom-Updated-2-1-20-0xD34D
One problem for me is that I can play streaming videos from the Net and user-uploaded videos in Facebook, but when they play, the video is all choppy, like how a TV is out of tune with like diagonal lines running through it, so it's pretty much un-viewable. The audio plays fine, and the video plays, just can't really make it out at all. So, this happens when I try to watch videos from web-sites that aren't in YouTube & Netflix (those work fine).
Was wondering if there has been any development regarding a fix for this issue in this build of MIUI?
If not, does anyone know if the 2.2.3 ICS build of MIUI addresses this issue? (see link below) It's not listed as a known issue, but I don't want to assume it's fixed before flashing to it.

I use MX video player for all my videos. You can set it to SW decode and its pretty good about playing all videos without lag.

Right now, the lack of hardware acceleration in the multiple ports of ICS for the Fire prevents HD video playback, and often leaves SD video pretty laggy or choppy. Also, with no native support for Adobe Flash when streaming video, that can degrade the quality as well, if not playing whatsoever. The devs are working to get this resolved, but as it's a really complicated process, it still may be awhile before it's resolved.
Is there a kernel out there that fixes the choppy video playback when streaming from HBO Go, Xfinity, Google Play Movies. The only video application that has ever yielded consistent results on my N10 is VUDU. I have tried multiple roms and kernels, yet still get the same results. Are there settings within a certain kernel that is yielding a better experience? Any thoughts would be appreciated.

have you tried forcing max CPU frequency? If I heard right in the past, one user solved his video stutter issues by setting his governor to performance.
As many users dont have problems, I would say any kernel can fix you issue. You just have to find the right settings.
When playing 1080p60 Youtube videos, they freeze but the sound continues. Moreover, if you either a) constantly tap the video b) constantly scroll comments c) have stats for nerds shown, the video plays fine.
Does anyone have the same problem?
Thanks!
hello, yes I have the same problem with mine. Even With 6.0.1 firmware
No problem for me ! Stock 5.1.1 and latest YouTube app fullscreen or not, smooth as butter !

Could you please, for example, try the video named "Smoky Mountain Alpine Coaster in the rain on-ride HD POV @60fps" (unfortunately, newbies are not allowed to post links).
Does it work for you?
I've found your (Nice) vidéo and it played normally, just 2 or 3 micro lag at the begining ! YouTube app version 11.23.56 on internal memory don't know why it freeze for you :-/
Things are getting worse after updating to Marshmallow - now even 1080p50 videos freeze (the were not freezing before). Any 1080p60 video is just unwatchable.
Hi, i got the same problem. And the same phone. I dont know how to fix
Hi guys,
I have currently the omniROM4.4.4 v23.1 final provided by Thor from Tegraowners forum, and everytime I try to play a video ( youtube app and any other app related to video playback ) it lags so much and it's impossible to watch a video. The sound sometimes it's reproduced flawlessy sometimes has lags, maybe it depends on which video I try to load. This happen also with any other Rom I tried. Any advice please?
