Is it just me, or is the YouTube app really slow to load videos? And when I skip ahead or go back, it just refuses to go, even after twenty minutes of "loading".
I went to go to the play store to give a comment that is was being slow, and then I realized it said the app wasn't compatible, and the YouTube app we have isn't the same as the one from the play store.

I have this same issue. Youtube app is so slow in loading videos that it is unusable on my Nexus 7. Using Youtube via browser is a bit better but still way too slow. Does anyone know what might be causing this?
Btw, what do you mean by different app? I think nexus7 yt app is certainly the same app as the one on Play store..
Not for me. Videos start streaming nearly instantly on the YouTube app. I jut tried a random HD video. It started in ~one second. I tried changing the location slider and it responded fluidly.
In fact, this is one of the things I like a lot about the nexus 7.
I have noticed that while Netflix is very responsive its try difficult to get the position slider to nudge just a little forward or back.
Stock, rooted.

That is strange because for me, it just keeps "loading" forever when I try to watch a video (the menus and search etc. still work nice and fast in the Youtube app).
Maybe I should do a factory reset to see if that fixes this issue. My Nexus is stock, unrooted. I love the way this tablet handles but this issue is driving me crazy..

I've noticed youtube videos take a while to start but once they've started there's no buffering issues and skipping to different parts works fine,
It seems Nexus 7 doesn’t like my internet connection / wlan router (Cisco epc3825).
When using 3G connection (using my Galaxy Nexus as wlan access point), Youtube works fine. But with my 40mbps cable connection, it’s a no go.
This sucks, especially since my 1st gen iPad works fine using the same connection. I guess there is no workaround other than to buy a new wlan router - anyone know of one that would work well with Nexus7?

EDIT: I switched to Zyxel router and everything works fine again.
Guys, i had the same problem and i just went into play store and deleted the last update.... There are a bunch of bad reviews for the latest update... Give it a try, it might work for ya as well ^-^
I tested with the stock rom and it loads fast. With custom roms it loads slow. Check it out.....

Anyone having the problem with Netflix A/V being out of sync? Any suggestions on fixes?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
I installed Netflix from the Amazon Appstore and briefly watched about 15 minutes of a movie. Worked well for me so far. Did the a/v out of sync take a long time to be noticeable, or was it immediately?
I've been having problems with netflix as well. I set a static ip and set the dns to gooogles servers and it seems to be working a little better. The sound can be just slightly off at times, but before it was skipping a great bit.

Noticed as soon as I saw a mouth. And as far as static IP, i don't know how much this will help me.

I had this problem, and looking over reviews in the Amazon Appstore, so did many others.
I found an APK for v1.4 online and that seems to not have this issue.

Have you tried playing the video on another device like your PC? Sometimes it's the content that's the problem and not the device.
been hearing about this for a few days now. I really would like to get my hands on a Kindle Fire (more so after the root has been announced) so my question now is that this "a/v out of sync" issue, is it just for the version of netflix on the amazon app store (i know that one's different from the phone version, its apparently "optimized for tablets") or does it apply to a netflix apk sideloaded (from perhaps a HTC Sensation?)
Hulu+ is PERFECT
Hulu+ is perfect, if you're into TV. No glitching, sync problems, or anything.
I ended up removing the app, rebooting, installing again and now netflix seems much better than before.

I haven't noticed this yet on the Fire but with the PS3 app it happens quite often.
I noticed this as well, but it seemed to clear up afetr a reboot. I've heard that other devices have started seeing issues only after the netflix update that came out last week. So not sure where the problem lies...
I've been trying out the modded version of netflix found over a PPCGeeks. I've so found found the "Isystems-Netflix1.4.1-XH264-Tablet-Wizard-RR.apk" file to run the best on the Fire. The stream quality is improved, rotation is enabled, and audio is in sync.
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.

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 been having some pretty consistent problems with my youtube app, and while trying to play youtube videos on Dolphin or Boat browsers in general. Mainly they occur when I try to play fullscreen hd youtube videos. While on the youtube app, the app quickly loads around half or one-third of the video. The video plays well enough till the point the video has been loaded and then gets stuck. If I try to go back or do anything at all the whole app gets hanged.
On the browsers, the problem is a bit different. Earlier on stock Roms, aokp pub and aokp by task650, and on paranoid android (all roms on 4.2.2) the browsers while playing videos in fullscreen hd would not only hang up but kill ALL background processes. I would then have to restart these processes (such as avast, orientation control etc). However now am on a rom called Vanilla rootbox which is a combination of aokp and PA type rom. Here the background processes aren't killed but the video wouldn't play at all in fullscreen, whether hd or not.
I have no problems playing videos in any size less than fullscreen in either the youtube app or the browsers, whether hd or not.
I have been wondering if my screen lcd density could be a reason for this, or if there is problems with the per app dpi I have set. I have tried changing them but haven't seen much improvement. this could be the case, what should I preferebly keep the screen or the youtube app dpi as to avoid this problem?
Any help would be greatly appreciated and thanks in advance to anyone who replies.

I don't really have a problem with HD videos on YouTube on full screen. I'm running just stock and only the YouTube app. I'm thinking that maybe you need to free up some more memory or check your wifi. I have noticed that when I had an antivirus app it slowed everything down and I had random reboots. Sorry if this isn't the answer your looking for, but its something.

I have more and less narrowed down the problem to being related to my screen density. With 320p youtube app is working, browsers hang on full screen mode for youtube.

I know someone else somewhere had a similar issue (YouTube would crash on going full screen), and they narrowed it down to an issue with having the Notification/Navbar at top/bottom hidden... apparently this threw off the screen size and pixel density enough to make You-Tube freak out.
Not sure if you have this option on those ROMs, and if you have it on... but thought it might be worth throwing out there.
Hey I'm running the 06/19 nightly with project direct inject 1.0.2 and I'm not sure if this is rom related or not but I'm getting some really weird stuttering going on while running my Netflix app. at first I thought it was Internet related but I turned everything off Internet related except my nexus 7 and it still was happening. then I thought app related but it runs just fine on my Samsung epic touch 4g no stutter so now I'm kinda at a loss I've uninstalled and reinstalled it to no avail. Anyone else having this problem? I really don't want to start from scratch with this tablet but I use Netflix a lot on here and the stuttering at times makes video almost unwatchable every 5-10 seconds. Any/all help is much appreciated.

I too had this problem. I tried running like 4 different roms and still had the netflix stutter. I just updated to the newest version of the Netflix app today and no stutters.
Since the day I bought my note 3 I noticed that the YouTube app has a slight stutter during video playback. The audio is fine and doesn't matter if I'm on wifi or data. Online videos play just fine and so do the videos I take with the phone. I have since rooted the phone and I've tried every rom available and they all do it. Anyone else having this problem?
Not here. Do you have it set to hq mode? Maybe try unchecking that.

my 2 year old rooted DROID RAZR could play anything regardless of quality. I would only think that this rocket ship of a phone should be able to do the same thing only better.
Mine works fine on hq unless I've got bad signal. I agree with you though.

When I first got my phone about a week ago, I let it do the google play updates after doing the initial phone setup. One of the updates was youtube. I was having problems with stutters on playback every few seconds on every video I watched. I went into settings-application manager and uninstalled the updates back to the original factory installed version. The stutters have now went away and all the videos have played smoothly.
