Videos played by my nexus have an odd choppy feel. Every five seconds or so, the player pauses for a very noticeable moment, then continues. Is anyone else experiencing this?

No problems regarding smoothness.
The only problem I have is that nothing seems to have audio (using mxPlayer)

Yes.
Is it a background app causing it? I read about a few phones having this issue in the past.

I'm on 4.1.1, not rooted and I've noticed the same problem. When playing a video or certain games every 5 seconds or so there is a slight pause. I've tried different video players and still the same issue.

Having the same issues but it seems to happen more with games especially tegra 3 games like a riptide. the funny thing is is I swear I remember playing riptide and It had no lag. I can't remember whether it was prior to the 4.11 update.
Same here! I tried watching the Transformer movie we got for free and it kept freezing up! This is irritating, I'm going to try a factory reset. I'm exchanging this thing any way cause the headphone jack is defective.
From my long awaited and totally worth it EVO LTE!
Same issue here after upgrading to 4.1.1. Anyone here having this issue on a custom ROM? If not then I'm flashing a ROM ASAP.

Try other video players (MX Player, BSPlayer)
Was this apparent before 4.1.1? I just got my 7 yesterday and updated right away and do notice the stutter w/ my high profile 720p vids. On my Prime stuttering was fixed with over clocking and running an interactive governer.
Edit: this is for 720p high profile movies stored on the device, happening w/ dice player and MX player. Don't use stock since it doesn't support ac3 audio.
stock n7 with latest ota updates, unlocked and rooted. No problem playing any game and video, either stream from play store (transformer movie) or stream my my home network.

It doesn't matter if it's on the device or not, it happens when I stream the transformer movie and/or any YouTube video. I'm about to return this back to Google if I don't find a solution soon. Going to try a data factory reset and see if that helps.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
Yeah looks like its happening for me on YouTube as well.
I just put a video on my device from my PC and it played fine. But if I stream anything it plays like crap
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
Did some more testing. Tried the stock player and no stutter but no sound due to no ac3 support. I have another 7 coming in on Monday and will test that one leaving it as is (before 4.1.1 update)
I just got off the phone with Google and they said it's probably a issue with my router streaming media on the device. I'm going to test another WiFi connection sometime soon and see if the issue persist or not.

I'm having problems with this, I can't watch a single video on this device without the lag. I've tried the youtube app, Netflix, dice player and a few other video apps and everyone of those lag.

I have the same issue, but it's fairly random, but I am playing videos from a SMB share. Sometimes I'll get through an hour before it quits, sometimes 5 minutes. This is using MX Player, Dice player, and Rockplayer. They all have the same issue. In my case, it could be an issue with the device retaining the connection to the SMB share.
Try dice player from the market, works really good!

some people have had issues with their tabs where video intense application start to freeze, crash or quit. A factory reset seems to be the trick to fix this. Yes, you lose all your data and have to start from scratch, but potentially no more issues.
This is not a guaranteed fix, but many people have had luck with it.

Using BS Player with no issues whatsoever playing h264 HD videos in hour-long intervals.
Do you happen to use Kaspersky? I’ve had a similar problem which disappeared after uninstalling Kaspersky!
Many intermittent pauses and crashes when watching videos over smb connection. Sometimes it will go for an hour or two with no problem, sometimes it's within a few minutes. Most often the tablet will reboot.
Pausing a video, then putting device into sleep mode, will always cause a reboot.
And, still not much luck in maximizing flash video playback, always crashes tablet in dolphin hd, or stock browser.

The arm7 codec is for Tegra 2 processor. It will install the codecs but if you don't have a Tegra2 processor theres no real point. I know this as I need to install the arm7 codecs for my Acer A501 but have installed them on my SGS3 too. I deleted them with no difference in playing videos from the S3. They are not needed and aren't used by anything other than the ARM7 cpus... Waste of space and time installing them...
MX Player is great! Have you tried switching to software mode? Usually if it doesn't play in HW mode then SW mode fixes it.
I've stopped updating it since version 1.6f. That was the last version that still had DTS audio support and it still works great!!

Yeah, software decoding is good but I prefer HW decoding for video and SW decoding for audio. Works brilliantly well... :laugh::good:

I have yet to run across any video to stock video player will not play. What type of problems are you running into you with a stock video player?
I have had a few where a weird rip has happened for audio. Video plays and audio won't on stock player. I tend to use avi, mp4, matroska(mkv) and other video files but depending on how they were ripped I find certain players work well and others don't. I've also found some of the larger files use the cpu intensively for video and audio goes out of sync. Software for audio seems to fix this...
Most files work on the stock player but it's annoying to find one you can't play...

Who uses this app with there n4? What kind of set up do you use? Do you stream it to your tv? Reason I'm asking is I have been using it for awhile and I most recently started streaming it to my tv. It works well most of the time but I'm trying to figure out the optimal set up.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
I steam from my sever using nfs. Have htpcs hooked up to other TV sets so I only really use it on my n4 if I'm in the small room or in the garden.
I currently run the experimental Gotham alpha with the libstagefright as it's the only build that comfortably handles all my 1080 content and anime with ass subs

How do the gotham builds handle HD content? Is it better than the final frodo build? I'm using a xaf custom build which uses mx player as the default video player instead of the xmbc player. With mx I can download a custom codec and I have options to use a HW decoder or SW one. This set up works better than the non custom xmbc app.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
They are similar except the libstagefright build enables hardware acceleration on the built in xbmc player. I only prefer this method over the mx player because the last time I tried a xaf build it would not handle .ass subtitles
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Ok. I will try it out. The frodo build did not have hW exceleration? Also the issue I'm having is it seems like any time I stream a video it starts off fine. Then after so long it becomes choppy. The phone gets really hot and stops charging. I'm assuming so the battery can cool down. I'm wondering if the choppiness is because of wifi issues, or thermal throttling occurring. I want to say it's the latter since the wifi connectio is really solid

Gave the alpha build a test run. Watched a couple of episodes of Game of thrones. Each episode I watched froze at some point and ended the stream. Playback was good. Progress is being made. So I decided to reinstall the xaf build and used mxplayer again. Used only hw excelleration . Phone ran much cooler. Had some stuttering but nothing crazy. Might of been wifi related.

Hmm very weird. The only times it has ever binned out of the app for me is when I'm scanning a new source into the library.
Everything else has been flawless.
In fact I'm watching a 720p game of thrones right now and it's flawless for me.
But I suppose if you have a different setup or method of streaming you could be running into bugs that I am not

So after using it for almost a week I'm more frustrated than anything. I constantly get booted out of movies or shows. When I fast forward to where I left off they never start. Just stay frozen. Im going between the frodo xaf build and the gotham build as one works better for some streams and vice versa. I use icefilms for most thing s. Is that my issue? It just seems there are so many possibilities and options and I can't pinpoint the issue. Also I'm not tech savvy enough to look into the code side of things. Any suggestions?

ive recently realised that when i play videos on my nexus 4 majority of the video is pixelated. which makes any movie or anyting completely useless to watch.
at first i thought maybe its the video file. so I tried it on my Xperia T, but it was fine no pixelation whatsoever. I tried it on my pc, no pixelation. I tried it on my ps3 and ps vita again no pixelation. Also BTW its not just a specific video file, anything i try to watch on the nexus 4 goes pixelated through majority of the video.
Then I thought that maybe its the media player that im using on the phone. it wasn't. i tried MX player, vlc for andriod, ES player and even the default video player. same thing on all of them; it pixelates in exactly the same places.
something that i also noticed is that on MX player when i play the video it doesn't play using the HW decoder only HW+ and SW, which is even more mind boggling because on my Xperia T it plays fine on HW.
can someone please help me with this. i would like to avoid factory resetting the phone if possible but if all else fails i may have to do it.
any help is appreciated.
THANKS

im using the normal stock android kitkat 4.4.4. also, the device is not rooted
Hi guys, I have small but annoying issue with my Nexus 10:
When watching a video (in any app, including youtube) the audio and the video are slightly out of sync. This is noticeable even for the smallest file and gets a lot worse at 2gb+ movies. I understand the tablet has to cope with this huge resolution but even with 100mb videos? I noticed this on 4.4.2 but it's the same on 4.4.4.
Now, I wonder could somebody recommend a ROM where this issue is not present? I heard SlimKat was pretty good for example but I dont know how it handles video playback.
Thanks in advance

That is strange. Have you downloaded a video and tried watching it directly from your N10? This would maybe rule out a slim chance of an internet or wifi issue. I only say this because I had a weird issue with my wifi that was causing slow and strange results including audio/video out of sync.
What are you currently running - i.e. kernel and ROM?
