Engadget videos start but then freeze

Engadget videos on my Incredible and my friends Evo, both stock seem to play fine for a bit and then the audio continues but the video freezes. I'm using the latest version of flash and I don't have this problem with any other sites that I've come across. Any ideas what can be done to fix this?

Video Playback Issues

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)

Its not bad enough to want to return it, but it's irritating.

Now I seem to have problems with games. Is this a hardware issue or OS related?

No. My nexus runs very well. Are you on 4.1.1

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.

Netflix stuttering on cm10.1 nightly 6/19 with direct inject 1.0.2

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.

Apparently this was a software problem after all and has been fixed (st least on my n7) by Netflix
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk HD

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.

YouTube very choppy

Anyone else find that while playing YouTube videos it's a bit choppy? I tested multiple videos and they all seem to be very choppy.

Just checked mine. No problems here, att version, but I did notice watching a video of a movie trailer through the browser was choppy

No problem here on the open D802 version.

Only with HD enabled. Unfortunately. Alot of other users (german android-hilfe.de forum) also say that its choppy with HD enabled (D802).
Apparently, it was the same on previous LG Android phones.

Quad core, 2.3GHZ, 2GB RAM, and youtube plays choppy ? unbelievable...

Issue lies within the LG Software.

Does this happen on wifi too, or just on the celluar network? I have verizon and no issues so far.

Tmo here, no issues on 4g, LTE, or wi-fi.

Getting choppiness on HD here as well. I'm using the Youtube app. Does anyone know of any good third party Youtube apps?

Go search smarttube the only downside it doesn't bring up you subscription feed. I connected my YouTube account and add it to watch later and then go on smarttube and they have a section for YouTube watch later
The issue that I have is the quality of video isn't very good. Its not bad until you see text on the screen and its kinda pixelated. Smarttube looks better on HD or full HD. Then my YouTube app

Thanks for the recommendation, will check it out.
I can't believe the default Youtube app still has problems up till now. It's a Google app for goodness' sake!

I don't have problem with choppy but quality wasn't that good plus full HD on smarttube is great.

I have also brought thus issue up in the Q&A forum before. The only solutions I have found so far is too uninstall updates of the YouTube app and use the old one instead, or use the mobile web version.

Gonna try this. When I click on the YouTube app icon it also takes a little bit to load it's the only app that does this. Sadly I spend a lot of time on YouTube lol

No lag for me on youtube vids at all so far, Bell version of LG G2, that being said i will keep an eye out for any oddities, since my youtube app just updated itself this morning.

No problem here. Have you tried uninstall and reinstall the app?

I just found this one today and I like it's ability to run in background and popup. And you can sign into it with your YouTube account

[Q] Audio & video out of sync

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

Anyone? I also wonder if custom kernel would help
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Free mobile app

I never had this issue. You could try to use a custom kernel. If that doesnt work I suggest you try out f2fs.

Hmm strange that mine would be different from any other out there..anyways i'll try, thanks for the tips!
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Free mobile app

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?

Ah yes, also for downloaded files. And it gets worse with larger files.
I'm running stock 4.4.2. Maybe Lollipop will fix it..Btw I've found Dice Player in the meantime, which has audio offset functionality - this was the quickest fix for now

That is very strange. I use MX Player for my videos.

Hi,
When playing some super high quality videos I face this problem too. But on KitKat update and using MX Player SW decoder I can play any file without problems. I suggest you to try it!
