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.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
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.

Who uses this app with there n4? What kind of set up do you use? Do you stream it to your tv? Reason I'm asking is I have been using it for awhile and I most recently started streaming it to my tv. It works well most of the time but I'm trying to figure out the optimal set up.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
I steam from my sever using nfs. Have htpcs hooked up to other TV sets so I only really use it on my n4 if I'm in the small room or in the garden.
I currently run the experimental Gotham alpha with the libstagefright as it's the only build that comfortably handles all my 1080 content and anime with ass subs

How do the gotham builds handle HD content? Is it better than the final frodo build? I'm using a xaf custom build which uses mx player as the default video player instead of the xmbc player. With mx I can download a custom codec and I have options to use a HW decoder or SW one. This set up works better than the non custom xmbc app.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
They are similar except the libstagefright build enables hardware acceleration on the built in xbmc player. I only prefer this method over the mx player because the last time I tried a xaf build it would not handle .ass subtitles
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Ok. I will try it out. The frodo build did not have hW exceleration? Also the issue I'm having is it seems like any time I stream a video it starts off fine. Then after so long it becomes choppy. The phone gets really hot and stops charging. I'm assuming so the battery can cool down. I'm wondering if the choppiness is because of wifi issues, or thermal throttling occurring. I want to say it's the latter since the wifi connectio is really solid

I tried the gotham build. It would exit out of the app every time.

One other thing is I'm using cm 10.1. Does rom have anything to do with xmbc compatibility?

i just updated to alpha4 and this build is apparently not working properly on the N4, network shares just crash the app.
so i reverted back to alpha2 which works nicely for everything i use it for
EDIT: Ignore that, i was been a dumbass and had my WIFI off.
just tested and working fine here
[Alpha4]

im guessing you grabbed a normal build as they do stutter on HD and get very hot very quick (because they are all software decoding)

Well the one I get to work the best is the xaf build. And the SW decoding option seems to work the best using mx player. I did get the gotham alpha 2 to work. Ill give it a test run and see how it goes

I just noticed that all the webserver setup is gone in Gotham. On both windows and android builds.
Thankfully you can still set it up through the XML files

Gave the alpha build a test run. Watched a couple of episodes of Game of thrones. Each episode I watched froze at some point and ended the stream. Playback was good. Progress is being made. So I decided to reinstall the xaf build and used mxplayer again. Used only hw excelleration . Phone ran much cooler. Had some stuttering but nothing crazy. Might of been wifi related.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Hmm very weird. The only times it has ever binned out of the app for me is when I'm scanning a new source into the library.
Everything else has been flawless.
In fact I'm watching a 720p game of thrones right now and it's flawless for me.
But I suppose if you have a different setup or method of streaming you could be running into bugs that I am not

So after using it for almost a week I'm more frustrated than anything. I constantly get booted out of movies or shows. When I fast forward to where I left off they never start. Just stay frozen. Im going between the frodo xaf build and the gotham build as one works better for some streams and vice versa. I use icefilms for most thing s. Is that my issue? It just seems there are so many possibilities and options and I can't pinpoint the issue. Also I'm not tech savvy enough to look into the code side of things. Any suggestions?

Anyone having trouble with Hulu Plus on the note 3. Commercials play fine, but shows just buffer.

Yes. Plays ads. Then endlessly buffers.
Anyone else having any luck with the NBA Game Time App? Everytime I go to launch the actual stream, it instantly force closes. I tried reporting it to the developers but haven't had any luck troubleshooting the problem. I had it on my Note 2 with 4.3, so I'm thinking that it's a 4.4 compatibility issue.
Just seeing if anyone out there is experiencing the same issue or found a resolution
Same problem. Streaming not working on 4.4 on this app.

Gahh okay, glad it wasn't just me, but this is super frustrating! I submitted a ticket to NBA game time and they keep asking me to reinstall, clear cache, etc, and not being helpful at all.
Updated today. Now streams flawlessly.

Can you please share the video you used for testing? I tried with various 4K videos, some work while others don't. I think it depends on the different formats and codecs each video uses. I also got 4K to play on Xperia Z Ultra (MSM8974) and XiaoMI 3 (Tegra 4)

my galaxy s3 could play 4k video its not that big of a deal, now if it recoreded it that would be cool but the phone is incapable of doing so i believe this thread should be closed, but its good that a phone can play a 4k video and my friends computer cant even play a 4k video it glitches out
Of course it can play 4K videos, provided it's the H.264 standard and not Hi10P or HEVC.
m on air purity rom i checked by downloading a song of 4k video of 850 mb and it was in mp4 format
and the airpurity rom is from htc mania thread
I'll add a pointless comment to a pointless thread
