Video & Sound & TCPMP

Has anyone else noticed this?
On my Jasjar, I can play various movie files, in wmv/avi/mpeg and the weird thing is that when I mute the sound, the video playback is smooth and flawless, but as soon as I turn on the sound through the speakers, the movie starts to jump, which gets worse as I turn up the volume. This is odd, maybe related to power settings. Anyone else tried this? Play a movie without the sound (either muted or disabled in TCPMP) and see if the movie is less jerky.

Windiows Media Player Mute

Hi,
windows media player seems to permanently mute its output whenever I press pause. When I press play again no sound is produced until the current track has finished playing and a new one loaded or the present one is repeated. Is this a known bug, does anyone else have the same problem?
Seen the same thing lots. Annoying when you are halfway through a movie.
Same problem for me. You are not alone!

Allshare cast media hub troubleshooting

So I just got this little dongle thing, and its all choppy at times, and sometimes the audio is out of sync with the video.
Specifically I have been using Netflix and the default video player. Power saving is off. It should work fairly smooth and I'm literally 4 feet away so I don't think it's reception.
Any suggestions to smoothen the video playback?

FIXED ... turns out it is just a bug in the Netflix app. Every time I run it the problem starts and it carries over into the YouTube app and the video player. Reboot the device and everything runs fine, until you run the Netflix app again. Unfortunately the same bug in the Netflix app afflicts my Bluetooth headphones.
Wondering if it's an incompatibility with the device and that version of the Netflix app or what? And does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix it

[Q] Wired headset button keeps launching/playing ringtones with stock music app.

AS the title would suggest, I'm having a small issue with my headset button.
I got my G2 today and while excellent, my previous phone, HTC One, would react perfectly to the headset button.
I use doggcatcher often and when pressing the button on the One, the podcast would play or pause perfectly. I could remove my headset and an hour later connect it back, hit the button and back playing where it left off.
With the G2 the damn music app keeps playing and it will play the choir ringtones. Even if I am playing a podcast in Doggcatcher and I hit the button the music player will interrupt Doggcatcher to play the ringtone.
Is there a fix for this? Or a way to disable the build in stock music player which I will NEVER use.

What was the fix?
What was the fix for this? I am having a similar issue, but my headset will only launch the dialer and I can't figure out how to make ANY music or podacst app respond to my wired headset button.

[Q] Adjusting volume stops playback

Hi
Ive had a problem with my old S4, and now aparently I have the same problem with my S5.
Whenever I adjust the volume of any playback, the playback stops. This happens no matter what sound adjustment i use (volume keys, headset, or adjust on screen.)
This is quite frustrating as you can emagine, as I have to unlock the phone, and start playback again, to adjust the volume, to start playback to adjust volume, to start playback and so on...
As I have had this problem with both my old S4 and my new S5, I cant really believe that it should be a HW error.
Does anyone have a similar problem or a solution for this issue?
Please help!
I would recommend performing a factory reset to determine whether it is a software or hardware issue.
If it persists you should return it! And maybe consider the LG G3
After reading all about the G3 I kind of regret getting the S5, and plan to potentially get myself a G3.
It has to caused by an app you've installed. I've never seen this behaviour on any of my galaxy devices, and definitely not on my S5. The music carries on playing no matter how or when I adjust the volume.
What music player are you using?

I am using the standard music player - Any ideas on how to find out what app is causing this?
The only way is disable/uninstall all 3rd party apps one by one.
Or get don't pause from the play store. There is a free and paid version.
Edit, I haven't experienced this issue on 9 galaxy phones but I also don't use the stock music player. My theory about the above app is because it automatically puts phone to vibrate it should circumvent this issue..

I have just tried with dont pause, and I still get the issue.
The issue is not related to the standard music player... It pauses no matter what media, or player I am using and no matter how I adjust the volume...
I guess I will have to factory reset and try installing apps one by one after that.. Unless there are any other suggestions?
