[Q] Flash video problem after 3.2 update - Xoom General

Since the 3.2 update I have been seeing an issue with flash videos in the browser. The video starts playing but then after about 2 mins it freezes even if the video is fully loaded. It has happened on several sites with embedded youtube clips and also on the BBC news site.
Anybody else seen this?

nop.. no prob for me

I have narrowed it down to an issue with the Wi-fi. I have opened this bug on Google code:

Please star it if you notice the same issue.

I thought it was my router but it seems to be fine now and the DHCP error is still being logged.

Hi,
I face the same issue, the video stops after a few seconds but the the data is still streaming in, the audio still continues but the screen freezes. Trying to restart the video does not work when you press stop and resume.
Shifting the play bar to another time starts the video but it stops again after that.
Any idea how to over come this problem? Strange thing is that it is random, meaning some videos from the same web site are okay while others are not okay.

Im on 3.2 and I cant play flash video above 480p on any site. Its just super choppy.

Video Playback Issue

Got a strange issue came up last couple of days. Nothing has changed on the tablet but today using Moboplayer or Rockplayer with different videos playback would stop after about a minute. In Moboplayer the video would stop and I would be returned to the file explorer. In rockplayer the video would pause.
I hav a workaround for now by using MX Video Player. After a minute or so the playbar appears then disappears but the video continues to play.
Something is running every minute or so and I can't figure it out. Tried several reboots. Only other thing that's changed recently is that I have begun using 2 factor auth on my google account. In case this was causing an issue with video playback for some odd reason i temporarily removed my google account and tried but still got the issue.
Any ideas out there?
Did a system reset and it fixed the issue.

flash streaming quality...?

It seems that my 10.1 can't even effectively handle 480p streams without skipping. Problem withmy tab or just normal?
Can you give an example of what streams you are trying to play?
I haven't been able to play 720p streams smoothly but I haven't had any trouble with SD streams.
Hmm, wierd. I can stream 720p youtube and other embedded 720p flash streams without any problems :x
same here - might be a tab/OS version issue the OP has
my tab is the IO version - galaxytask 13.1, OC 1.4

Well I guess this is all pointless unless we start giving the specifics here.
I am running Overcome 2.2.0 with Pershoots latest kernel. I have the CPU set to the stock clock speed (1ghz) and the governor set to ondemand.
Youtube videos in the Youtube app play fine HD and SD. Flash videos on Youtube in the browser are a mixed bag. The 480p videos play fine but I haven't been able to find a 720p flash video on Youtube that will play smoothly.
Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atx2856pUos. On 480p flash in the browser it plays fine. On 720p it does not.
i have everything at stock 3.2. The streams I'm talking about are on sites not the you tube app. I think view on the YouTube adds are optimized for mobile devices. Anything higher than 380 on a site stream gives me hiccups.
I have trouble viewing some flash content using the web browser. I watch a lot of Twitch tv streams which play pretty well on 480p 720p is ok but it can stutter/buffer quite a lot at times.
I have encountered a problem with the latest flash update where bbc iplayer doesn't work and there appears to be screen tearing so I've had to downgrade to the pre installed flash.
Wait, which one do you mean? Stuttering can be caused by the tab, but buffering is always due to a slow internet connection.

I haven't noticed any stuttering on YouTube, browser or app even in HD 720. Then last night I was trying to watch some Dakar rally on their website, and it was stuttering like mad. Even at 320. Buffer was fine, but like every 2 or 3 seconds it would freeze for a few frames.
The youtube app works fine it's just when viewing flash in the browser that has problems.
I watch videos on twitch TV and the video freezes then plays, I have no idea if this is the internet or if it's the tablet but since other videos play fine I would have to say it's the internet however as youtube videos work fine I would have to assume it is either twitch tv or the web browser.
Edit:
I got in touch with Samsung support about the performance and video problems I'm experiencing and was told to return the tablet to 1 of their repair centres as it "would need a software reset, or re flashing of the Software," Samsungs wording. As there is a repair centre pretty close to where I live I'll be taking it there either this weekend or next week and hopefully they can get it sorted

Cool, let me know what happens after the new fix. Thanks.
Flash is really rubbish. I when I switch to full screen the screen keep flashing. I have to uninstall the update to solve this problem... Any1 experience the same problem?
Sometimes when I switch to full screen I get flashing, or a black triangle part of the screen that flickers. Again, this is just through the browser. I've tried other browsers (Dolphin, Firefox) and still go back to the stock one, I just like it the best.
I can confirm that flash on honeycomb is much lagging than on gingerbread or ics. Before I had Mytouch 4g( single core) and Motorola Xoom and the Mytouch gave me better experience when I watch flash videos. And now,I have sensation 4g running ics and SGT on 3.2. The sensation is the winner when watch flash content.T

Video freezes

I have searched and can't come up with any other threads that describe my issue. Any time I play video it freezes for a fraction of a second about every 15 or 20 seconds. The audio isn't interrupted, it's just these tiny video freezes. This happens with Netflix, my downloaded Transformers movie and DroidTV. Basically any video, whether streaming or downloaded.
I did a factory reset and even exchanged my N7 for a new one but I'm still getting these tiny freezes. Anyone else experience this? I thought maybe it was the DroidTV app messing it up but I uninstalled it and my Transformers movie still freezes. Not sure what else to try. Thanks.

[Q] Unable to stream any media to phone, able to stream to Chromecast

I've recently come across a strange issue with my G2. I've been unable to stream any type of media to my phone since about a week ago. Literally, any kind of media...Youtube app, Youtube in the browser, Google play music app, Pandora, any other video from a browser, etc... I believe it started when I flashed a recent nightly of Carbon last week. Figuring it was just an issue with that particular nightly, I flashed a newer version a couple days ago. When the issue persisted, I switched over to the latest version of the Gummy rom. This hasn't fixed the issue though.
What throws me for a loop is that my internet connection works great for browsing the web, email, and texting (google voice). It's only streaming audio or video that doesn't work. I can, however, cast audio/video to my Chromecast (though it's obviously not streaming thru my phone).
Nothing actually gives me an error except for Google Play Music, which just says "Music temporarily unavailable - Couldn't play the stream you requested". Pandora just skips from song to song every few seconds, never actually playing any of them, and Youtube (both app and in browser) just stay at 0:00 time and a black screen.
I've search around a bit and can't seem to find the same issue anywhere else. Hopefully somebody has an idea? I could re-flash my phone with the manufacturer's utility s/w but I'd prefer to avoid that if possible.
Has anybody even experienced this problem before?
Nobody?

LG V20 plays sound but shows no videos?

For the past couple of days now, whenever I try to play a video, I hear the audio fine, but don't see any video, just a black screen. At first I thought it was trouble with my YouTube app since that's basically where I only watch videos and read on several forums that the issue was caused by having the official twitter app (which is weird since I don't have twitter). I also tried restarting my phone, uninstalling/reinstalling youtube, installing older versions of youtube, all of which never worked.
So I decided to swallow my pride and just download a fake youtube alternative. To my surprise, the videos still show a black screen and only play audio. This had me thinking, so I tried to play a video in my camera roll I downloaded... Same problem, however, if I play a video I recorded myself on the phone it works... The even weirer part is though, that if I play a video through youtube via the Chrome browser it works (despite it looking like 140p and horrible audio) but it works! I've also tried smart cleaning, deleting cache and data but to no avail.
Is there a problem with my phones flash player, or whatever extension it uses? I know Chrome uses its own built in player which could explain why it sorks in Chrome but not anywhere else.
This all seemed to happen randomly, I didnt do anything. Games and other media including music still seem to work fine. Has anyone else experienced this problem?
Also I am rooted on 12A and have been for the past 6 months.
I'm also having the same issue with my vs995 running on rooted 12A
