[Q] Watching videos in the web browser(chrome) - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi,
Good day.
I have a problem regarding watching videos in the web browser specially in chrome/facebook(videos).
I recently flashed the official rom for i9505 which i got from samsung-updates via Odin after that I'm having a hard time watching videos in the web.
The problem I am encountered was the video hangs for a second but the sounds/audio keeps on playing then when I press the back and play it again, the video is in slow motion but the sounds/audio is good. I already search in the web but can't find a good one, I'm hoping that one of you guys encountered this kind of issue.
btw, I already did reformatting my phone twice.
Thanks in advance.

Do other browsers work?

Nope

I tried firefox and the default browser, im still encountering the same problem

[Q] Flash video problem after 3.2 update

Since the 3.2 update I have been seeing an issue with flash videos in the browser. The video starts playing but then after about 2 mins it freezes even if the video is fully loaded. It has happened on several sites with embedded youtube clips and also on the BBC news site.
Anybody else seen this?
nop.. no prob for me
I have narrowed it down to an issue with the Wi-fi. I have opened this bug on Google code:

Please star it if you notice the same issue.
I thought it was my router but it seems to be fine now and the DHCP error is still being logged.
Hi,
I face the same issue, the video stops after a few seconds but the the data is still streaming in, the audio still continues but the screen freezes. Trying to restart the video does not work when you press stop and resume.
Shifting the play bar to another time starts the video but it stops again after that.
Any idea how to over come this problem? Strange thing is that it is random, meaning some videos from the same web site are okay while others are not okay.

Im on 3.2 and I cant play flash video above 480p on any site. Its just super choppy.

flash streaming quality...?

It seems that my 10.1 can't even effectively handle 480p streams without skipping. Problem withmy tab or just normal?
Can you give an example of what streams you are trying to play?
I haven't been able to play 720p streams smoothly but I haven't had any trouble with SD streams.
Hmm, wierd. I can stream 720p youtube and other embedded 720p flash streams without any problems :x
same here - might be a tab/OS version issue the OP has
my tab is the IO version - galaxytask 13.1, OC 1.4

Well I guess this is all pointless unless we start giving the specifics here.
I am running Overcome 2.2.0 with Pershoots latest kernel. I have the CPU set to the stock clock speed (1ghz) and the governor set to ondemand.
Youtube videos in the Youtube app play fine HD and SD. Flash videos on Youtube in the browser are a mixed bag. The 480p videos play fine but I haven't been able to find a 720p flash video on Youtube that will play smoothly.
Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atx2856pUos. On 480p flash in the browser it plays fine. On 720p it does not.
i have everything at stock 3.2. The streams I'm talking about are on sites not the you tube app. I think view on the YouTube adds are optimized for mobile devices. Anything higher than 380 on a site stream gives me hiccups.
I have trouble viewing some flash content using the web browser. I watch a lot of Twitch tv streams which play pretty well on 480p 720p is ok but it can stutter/buffer quite a lot at times.
I have encountered a problem with the latest flash update where bbc iplayer doesn't work and there appears to be screen tearing so I've had to downgrade to the pre installed flash.
Wait, which one do you mean? Stuttering can be caused by the tab, but buffering is always due to a slow internet connection.

I haven't noticed any stuttering on YouTube, browser or app even in HD 720. Then last night I was trying to watch some Dakar rally on their website, and it was stuttering like mad. Even at 320. Buffer was fine, but like every 2 or 3 seconds it would freeze for a few frames.
The youtube app works fine it's just when viewing flash in the browser that has problems.
I watch videos on twitch TV and the video freezes then plays, I have no idea if this is the internet or if it's the tablet but since other videos play fine I would have to say it's the internet however as youtube videos work fine I would have to assume it is either twitch tv or the web browser.
Edit:
I got in touch with Samsung support about the performance and video problems I'm experiencing and was told to return the tablet to 1 of their repair centres as it "would need a software reset, or re flashing of the Software," Samsungs wording. As there is a repair centre pretty close to where I live I'll be taking it there either this weekend or next week and hopefully they can get it sorted

Cool, let me know what happens after the new fix. Thanks.
Flash is really rubbish. I when I switch to full screen the screen keep flashing. I have to uninstall the update to solve this problem... Any1 experience the same problem?
Sometimes when I switch to full screen I get flashing, or a black triangle part of the screen that flickers. Again, this is just through the browser. I've tried other browsers (Dolphin, Firefox) and still go back to the stock one, I just like it the best.
I can confirm that flash on honeycomb is much lagging than on gingerbread or ics. Before I had Mytouch 4g( single core) and Motorola Xoom and the Mytouch gave me better experience when I watch flash videos. And now,I have sensation 4g running ics and SGT on 3.2. The sensation is the winner when watch flash content.T

Galaxy s4 youtube stutter

Hello, so i have a i9505 with the uk 5.0 official rom and i have this problem in YouTube. When I'm playing a video and i drag it in the corner and begin scrolling through the list of videos it begins to sutter(usually with hd videos), but the video itself plays fine. Now i found 2 sort of solutions for this, first is to disable hardware overlays from developer options but i consumes more battery. Now the second one involves going into safe mode, where everything works fine, so I'm guessing and app is responsible but i still not found it yet. I hope anyone who experiences this issue finds this helpful and let me know if you have any other tips.

Anyone with video playback problems?

Hi guys,
i got my S7 Edge since thursday and so far I'm very satisfied except for one problem.
It happened 3 times so far that NO video playback would work. Not in Youtube, not in the browser...
Youtube would then say something like "please try again" and videos in the browser just wouldn't start when pressing the play button.
The only thing that helps is rebooting the phone which is really annoying. Anyone else with this problem?
Yes I have the same issue and it's not just youtube. HBO now and go do the smell thing over made over. I have an s7 edge international version
