So video runs pretty flawless when i watch stuff from prime. When i watch netflix or stream from the browser the audio is off a little. Is there anyway to help this at all.
I am rooted btw.
I have found no solution to this using all combinations of stock, CM7, and intersectRaven's kernel. It is present in all video players that I have tried meaning that it is probably an issue with the audio hardware/drivers. The latest version of netflix is by far the worst with at least a half second delay in audio. I have found this post which makes it possible to use old versions of Netflix. Versions 1.3.0 and 1.4.0 work fine (fine being only a very slight delay in audio).
Edit: I have not tried Prime. If it works flawlessly then that rules out the audio hardware or drivers.
i'm playing local and network streamed videos with mx player - they are fully sync - it's definitely not the hardware - i assume netflix and amazons streaming services are buggy - youtube is also sync
btw. there are some other threads about this ...
My netflix is almost perfectly in sync... it might be off by a few milliseconds, like 2 but its only noticable if you stare at their mouths and are really looking for it. Did i just get lucky?
Thanks! The Netflix 1.4 works pretty much spot-on, barely any noticeable sync issues.

Maybe its a problem with flash version that the kindle comes with. I'm gonna try the older netflix.
Hey Guys,
just got my new Nexus and I am very impressed about it. But now I am experiencing a very anoing problem:
I want to use my Nexus to record some videos, but everytime I want to watch them on my phone, it get's laggy as hell.
Playing the Videos on my computer is just fine and everything works just fine...
These problems occured even on stock.
My phone right now (sorry but I cant Upload an image)
Android-Version: 4.3
Kernel: 3.4.0-perf-g90216aa [email protected] #2
ParanoidAndroid-Version: 3.92
I wouldn't rely on the in built player, get mobo player (mobo team one) or MX player... or both
Actually I allready tried all of your suggestions, none worked better (sorry did'nt mentioned).
It's still laggy.

Reboot your phone and check what's syncing in the background.. Settings/accounts/Google, then click the gmail address/s and see what's ticked.
In my Google-Acc, everything is ticked
If you have put lots of music on lately it will all be getting upped to the cloud in the background, I think that's the way it works. Try unticking Google play music.
Yepp, will try it. Though I am not having any music on my phone right now.. :/
I guess it won't be that then. I'll try some vids later, I haven't tested since going to 4.3.
Okay, thanks..
As I already said, it was even on stock like this. Got my Nexus with 4.3 already installed.
Hope it get's better. Has anyone else an idea?
Using stock 4.3 my videos are playing fine. I used es file explorer to stream them straight over my lan, only my 720 mkv files had trouble with no sound but played smoothly at least.
Hmm, awkward... But I am not talking about streaming, and not about mkv-files...
Only recording in 1080p and playback on the nexus is laggy. Same record on PC is fine.
So I've had my G2 on AT&T for about 6 months or so and recently rooted it using ioroot, flashed TWRP recovery and installed a few of the CM11 nightly roms. I keep having this YouTube issue (both in app and using various browsers) where the video will be playing fine and then just get stuck trying to buffer the video. It never gets out of the buffer loading on it's own, and occasionally it progresses the video after I skip forward or backward in the video. I have googled the issue for a few hours with no fix. I have tried running the app at startup, every possible resolution, disconnect and reconnect to wifi, using just mobile LTE instead of wifi, reinstalling the app, running 3 different CM11 mods and 1 CM 10.2 stable mod. Nothing has seemed to shake the issue, the only way I can get 100% video playback is when I'm running stock 4.4.2 KK. Video playback for local videos is fine with no issues using MX player, and steaming videos on websites other than youtube is working just fine. I'm open to all suggestions, I appreciate the help in advance as I am a YouTube junkie and watch videos a lot.
One last little problem I noticed is that I can no longer stream 1080p videos on YouTube, the highest res I can use is 720p, anyone know whats going on with that?
Anyone?

got my Nexus Player tonight and, while there are definitely things that need improvement, overall it's pretty good.. I was watching netflix with no issue for about 3 hours, then went to get some dinner.. Came back and it was having issues connecting.. error NW-4-8. signed out and back in and it was able to connect, but now, any time that I start to stream something on netflix, it crashes the entire unit.. my tv starts flashing "No Signal" and i have to unplug/replug it.. This happening to anyone else? I haven't tried reseting it to defaults yet, and will try that if it's not fixed tomorrow, but wanted to see if anyone else was having the same issues..
Haven't seen that myself but try clearing cache/data for netflix before resetting the whole box.

Settings (bottom left icon, looks like a gear)-> Apps, find netflix, clear data.
You'll need to resign in, ect. I had to do this the other night on one of my ADT-1's because I had a similar error, and it wouldn't connect to netflix.
ok, so after doing this, it worked for awhile.. now i can't play anything on netflix at all.. just gives a blank screen when i select something to watch.. the netflix app is crap on the player, unfortunatly.. hulu/plex/ted... all others are working with no issues, but netflix is extremely inconsistant.. such a disappointment for an app that should have been ready at launch.

Same! Netflix works great here.
Both Plex and Netflix have plenty of bugs on Android TV. I'm speaking from my experience on the ADT-1. Neither company has been actively fixing bugs. .. Plex has their forums, but the devs just ignore you.. and update **** no one cares about, like sync, or previews.

I dont mind a bug or two here and there, plex at least works, just like hulu and all the other basic apps from large streaming companies.. But netflix just freaking crashes the unit.. Its fully unusable with no rhyme or reason why. I've uninstalled, signed in and out, tried both 5ghz and normal networks, reset and started over even and its just not working.. And without root, i cant even install logcat to track down the issue in a more logical manner. Whata even more frustrating is that i seem to be alone wih the issue.. The only thing ive noticed is that when netflix tries to load a video, it'll count 1-6%, jump to 63%, then to 99%, then goes to a black screen. Then my screen flashes no signal. If i hit the home button a few times, itll come back to the home screen, but nothing changes... Anyone elae with ideas, pkease feel free to chime in. Im fairly comfortable with adb abd faatboot if that helps..

I have this problem as well, trying to watch anything on Netflix turns the video signal off to the TV, pressing back takes me back and turns the display back on. I'm using an older viewsonic TV so I tried moving the player to a newer Samsung tv and it works fine. So I'm just going to go ahead and point my finger at those DRM demons and blame them based solely on conjecture and sit and wait hoping for a patch or fix. (Netflix plays on the viewsonic fine with Roku and Chromecast, just not the nexus player.)
I'm having this same issue. Is there any resolution yet? The TV will flicker about an HDMI-CEC failure when this occurs, so I'm curious if there's a connection there.
Nope -- no connection. I disabled HDMI-CEC on the television, and Netflix still pretends to load the video and then displays a black screen. Tried clearing the Netflix cache and data, but this does nothing to solve the problem. Netflix worked fine for two days, and now this.
Had the same thing happen with the movie play store movie I rented. . Video would go black and only hear the audio. . I can unplug the hdmi from the tv and plug it back in and it will work for awhile. .. called Google they tried to blame it on the movie app.. and of course while on the phone it works fine. . Call google everyone. .
so, got root tonight and was able to grab a logcat.. looks like it's the HDCP authentication thats breaking, like we all thought.. here's the link to the log info, in case anyone smarter than me wants to take a look and maybe find something helpful (google docs link)::

FWIW, I went ahead and swapped out HDMI cables and the new one, so far, is working great with Netflix & Nexus Player.

Yeah -- it doesn't make any sense to me either. I didn't have issues with any of the other apps when I was having the problem with Netflix going black. Fortunately, I haven't had the Netflix problem since changing the HDMI cable several days ago <knock wood>.
Per my post at http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-player/general/netflix-buffering-issues-t2961438, reinstalling NetFlix addressed NetFlix failing to work at all.
since I started this post, I wanted to post an update.. I never was able to get netflix to work in my setup.. I have my tv, hooked into a monoprice HDMI switch, then into the NP.. no other apps were having any issues at all except for the netflix app.. because netflix is 99% of what I would do on the player right now (seeing as there's very little development for it currently), I've returned my NP. I may grab another one at a later date, if development picks up, but right now, that's a device killing issue for me. hopefully nobody else runs into this issue.
I am having about 250ms audio lag on watching any media, be it speakers or headphones, youtube or home server streaming.
I've tried turning on GPU rendering in developer settings, I've looked for alternate audio codecs, wiping the cache and I've tried turning off google now voice listening.
Does anybody else have this problem?
I tried mine and no problems for now but check what kind if players you have installed or software it might be from there ,hard reset .
I noticed this on youtube especially
Let me know if you fixed the problem and how please!
Probably going to need an OTA for that.
Audio lag
I experience the same problem when playing any and all video files. I recorded a video yesterday and that had lag on it too, even when played on a different device. I've emailed ZTE and the address to do it if you feel so inclined is [email protected]
What an annoying problem for an otherwise excellent phone! There are a few other examples of it too so it's not an isolated incident.
A factory reset didn't solve the problem either.
Update: Bluetooth audio is fine...
Same issue here. Sound is delayed about 1/4 of second.
its clearly a software problem since i dont think the USA users have the problem.

Just curious have you tried a factory reset? Did it fix it?
If this is on YouTube. This is a YouTube only problem. Many people from different phones are reporting this issue.

Happens with other apps as well as reported by others and tested, basically any app with videos using hardware decoder. its definitely not a youtube problem.

So is it a defect?
USA user here, not audio lag for me (that I've noticed) and I've watched a couple movies and several YouTube videos. I just checked it before posting to make sure, and mine is fine.

Do you have a video decoder issue? Like not able to pick 1080p60fps?

Guess I'm not sure where to find those settings?
I just switch from 480p to 1080p in YouTube with no issues? I also watched a video I recorded on my Samsung Galaxy S7 in 4k with no issues using VLC player. I couldn't find where to change to 60fps though?
I was able to record a video in 1080p @ 60fps too

Looks like this is a YouTube encoder issue. I may have to submit a ticket to the YouTube Devs.

It's noticeable on other apps too... Either way wouldn't hurt. I honestly think it's a OS issue since USA have a different version of the OS and they seem okay. ZTE just need to rollout an update fix I think, I've sent them an email about it lets see if they reply. Also the ZTE USA community mod knows about the problem and is trying to get a UK community started!
Bit noticeable on Netflix as well not too sure about this one
I downloaded a movie viewed it on MXPlayer using their hardware decoder and got the sync issue. Switched it to software and wala all was fine! Honestly don't think we need to send phone back or anything they can easily roll out a fix for it

Confirmed this. Really hope they roll out a fix. Just this and Android pay and it's perfect!
