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.
I have some mkv video files on my phone that ive been trying to play. I downloaded vplayer and things worked fine, but after the trial expired and i regretfully purchased the full version the video and audio would unsync shortly after i started the video and i cant figure out how to fix this issue if there is a fix. I also got the same results with mx player. They worked fine the first time but after that they started messing up again. Any help would be appericated
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.
I have the v500 since christmas and i had no problem until i updated to kit kat. Before that, i watched my videos on bsplayer (its quite easy for using subtitles) or VLC, but now they both dont work well. Bsplayer is like slow, i mean, every 2 seconds the image stops for an instant and then continues, sound works without problem. In VLC it's the sound that stops working once every five minutes more or less, and for a few seconds. Sometimes, it also happens with some games. I alredy tried to restore the device and reinstalling the apps. Also deleting data files and cache of both apps.
Anyone having this problem and a solution??

Although I like BSPlayer and it works fine for me, I should point out that the default video player by LG works very well, reads subtitles just fine, and many codecs.
Did you clear app data or did you try uninstalling the apps and do a fresh install after the upgrade? I don't use either of those apps but i did have a problem after the upgrade with a couple of apps behaving badly until i cleared the app data and one required a reinstall.
doh, can you tell I was watching hockey when i wrote this? It looks like you already tried my suggestions...

I have problem with videos also.
I has started after changing soft to new soft 4.4.2.
While playing video (.mkv or .mp4), in defeault player or in MX Player, every few minutes, the picture is freezing for few seconds (audio is playing normally).
I have tried with different movies, always the same.
Before Android update everything was allright.

The same is happening to me as well. I'm considering following the thread in XDA about downgrading to original 4.2.2, but I'm worried about bricking the G Pad. It's the last option; i have tried with several different players, and after a factory reset to no avail.
It's a mess from LG, I can't understand how this could go under the radar during their testing phase.
Anyone has info about future updates?
this actually happens to me using the stock video player on kit kat. I been using mx player since then with no issues..
Hi,
I have exactly the same issue with videos on 4.4.2 whatever video player I am using. I updated my tablet as soon as I bought it, so I can not compare to 4.2.
I switched to the ART runtime (you need to enable Developer options to do so) a week ago and since then, video playing is smooth again.
Regards,
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
