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 Pause Issue

I have noticed in the last few days that my tab will pause anyvideo about every minute and force me to press play again. This happens in every player and netflix. all i have to do is press play again and then it will go another minute roughly. Any idea?

So disabling the Background Data option has fixed the issue at the moment. Any ideas as to what you guys think could be updating every minute and could possibly affect the video would be awesome.

I notice youtube videos pause often for some reason but other players are fine here.

Load Youtube Videos in Backround?

I know this doesn't pretain completely to the Nexus 7 but is there a way to keep the video loading in the youtube app when I switch to another app while it's loading? I have slow internet so sometimes I need to give it a minute to load and it would be nice to do something else while it does. If the youtube app won't do it is there another app I could use?
Bump can someone help me out on this?
There isn't really a way to do this.
You can try the super video app (floating yt).
And maybe the N7 will get pre loading in the future. (It should download the video in the background)
Hope this helps

Youtube video quality...

I have the settings to high quality on mobile but for some reason none of the videos I play are crisp. I tried the app the browser tried searching hd videos but everything seems to be pixelated to some extent? Anyone else having the same issues?

I thought i had that issue at first too. But i switched to Wifi and it came in clear. I dont know why, but 3g never gets videos clear for me. I had this issue on the SIII as well.
Videos play on "High Quality" over 3G. When on WiFi and I belive 4G also, video play in "HD". That is why it looks better over WiFi. There is a YouTube app floating around that has a setting that will allow you to watch videos in HD over 3G. However, 3G doesnt tend to have good enough speeds for solid playback in HD.

You try the mod YouTube app?

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.

I've noticed the same thing, I was hoping I wasn't the only one.

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.

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 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
