Hi,
Since upgrading to 4.4 I'm experiencing stutter/jitter on YouTube videos.
I've tried factory wiping the device and it's the same, I've flashed the SinLessROM and it's the same. Only 4.3 didn't have the issue.
Is anyone else experienced this and is there a solution??
Thanks!
EDIT:
I would like to gather some data of units having/not having this issue respectively to see if I can isolate the cause:
If possible, please can you supply the following information:
1) How you upgraded to 4.4 (OTA, sideload, custom build of official 4.4. ROM, etc)
2) Are you using stock/custom kernel (if custom, which one?)
3) If you factory reset/wiped at any stage
4) Version of YouTube app
5) Link to an HD YouTube video that you can play without any stutter (it may be I/we are just choosing 'bad' videos)
I was using this video for testing and get the stutter on the device, so fi you can play this video as well and report back that would be great: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6v2L2UGZJAM
Thanks guys!
Just checked and mine seems to not be as smooth as it was before as well.
Somewhat related, I have the LG Nexus 7 phone with everything stock on it and the YouTube app despite buffering the video properly, still plays back the video a bit stuttery. I'm running the KitKat OS on it as well. The same videos play fine using the browser but the quality isn't as good (pixelization), despite it being HQ. They also play fine using Freedi YT player at the same quality as the app.
I thought I was the only one until I saw this thread! Pretty sloppy work from Google.
It's running great for me. I have ART enabled, give that a try and see it the problem persists.
Mmm I tried that too but it's still the same. Looking around a bit more people seem to have had issues with some versions of the YouTube app doing this in the past. What version do you have may I ask??
Are other video players effected as well?
Same problem here
Just finished updating to 4.4 Kit Kat. Fired up YouTube and noticed jittery/frames issue before seeing this thread. It's not a huge problem but it's definitely not as smooth prior to update. Warning for heavy youtube users maybe wait out on updating? It's only a little annoying short second jitters here and there.
My youtube is up to date with latest version installed. Lets hope youtube releases an update for Kit Kat OS.
My overall first impressions with Kit Kat so far is that it does feel snappier with the app drawer scrolling, multi-task switcher and touchscreen responsiveness. I'm a heavy Clash Of Clans player so I instantly knew and feel the difference right away.
I have an Ipad Air, Ipad mini (1st gen) and this nexus 7. I'm very happy with the touchscreen pinch to zoom improvement in this update. The screen definitely feels close to par with the ipad screens now. Not a fan boy or anything because I enjoy both iOS and Android!

If you're lucky enough not to be having any issues, can you post the following information so I can see if I can find the root cause of the 'problem'?
1) How you upgraded to 4.4 (OTA, sideload, custom build of official 4.4. ROM, etc)
2) If you factory reset/wiped at any stage
3) Version of YouTube app
4) Link to an HD YouTube video that you can play without any stutter (it may be I/we are just choosing 'bad' videos)
Thanks very much to anyone that can help with this!

Have you tested your WiFi speed?

Yes that's fine, I live in Holland so even the mediocre connection I have is 60mbps Down / 6mbps Up - it's not a buffering type of stutter but more of an issue with the decoding and rendering of the video. Like a driver is not optimised correctly or there is a memory bottleneck.

Thanks for the info, will check it out when I'm home. I was going to wipe and flash that ROM anyway, so I'll check that specific video and see what the results are like. I appreciate the response, now I have something to work with as a base! :good:

Sorry for the question, but english it´s not my mother tongue(from Spain). When you say sttuter, you mean in image & sound, image only or sound only?
I have a N7 2013 with 4.4 and want to test this.
Thank you very much. Regards.

My fault, I should have said! It is actually just the video that stutters for me. The audio plays perfectly. It just jitters slightly with the video, like it 'sticks' briefly especially during panning shots.
I'm fairly new the Nexus Player. In fact I just got mine today. So far I'm really liking it. However I recently updated to Android Lollipop 5.1.1 and have noticed scrolling issues. Seems like every time I scroll through the Google Play store or Google Movies and TV app about every five or so tiles it'll skip back three. It's very irritating. Not sure if it's a bug or not. Anybody else notice this and if so how did you go about fixing it ?
Edit: NVM after further reading of posts on this topic this seem to indeed be a weird glitch/bug reportedly for anyone using android lollipop 5.0 and above that hasn't been fixed by Google as of yet

Since the last update to the Google photos app on both mine and my wife's Nexus 10 both running lollipop 5.1.1, videos stutter as if its missing frames or don't show any image at all just sound. It all works fine on my Nexus 5 so must be specific to the Nexus 10. Has anyone else noticed this and found a solution?
Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk
Have the same problem.
Went to App-Info and uninstalled updates.
Is this the only solution for now?
Yes. I have just received another update to the photos app but its still the same. Let's hope Google fix it soon.

Bad thing is I have this issue on nexus 6. It definitely needs a fix!
I have the same issue. But what's interesting here is that unlike the first post's writer told I have it on nexus 5 running android 5.1.1. Currently using MX player and videos work just fine.
Hmmm. Also Nexus 6 here.
I have the same problem on my Nexus 6. I though it started when I uninstalled a previous update to Camera/Photos last month sometime. Every video I playback through Photos stutters, but at least through Camera I can change the default video player. Wish I could do the same for Photos. Also, just notice a generally lag on my Nexus 6 recently...
I hate wiping and starting fresh, but I just may have to.
The bug is still here. Version 1.30 on Nexus 6. Damned mumbai programmers...
The stuttering is still here on v. 1.4.0.102264174 on Nexus 6 running android 5.1.1_r12. However, the issue can be fixed by going to developer settings and switching from NuPlayer to AwesomePlayer in Media settings.

Wow, thanks Kariharri! That works!
Hey Guys and Gals,
I updated my huawei watch to 2.0 and went from 6.0.1 to the new N beta.
For some reason i could not get third party apps to send notifications to my watch. i was getting google now cards and getting cards if i had audio or video playing but no third party regular notifications.
I thought it was the android wear 2.0 update so i went back to 1.4 and still having the same issue....anyone else?
Let me know so i can see what my next step is.
Thanks!
I'm also having this issue with my Moto 360 1st gen on 1.4 and the N dev 3 preview.
I've tried reinstalling Android Wear and re-pairing the watch but neither helped.
Found out its a bug in the newest n preview. Nothing we can do about it for now

Ive been seaching for Android 12 or 13 roms for months, its seems they dont exist for nexus 6P. its weird considering ive came across Android 12 and 13 ROMs for Nexus 5, Nexus 6 and also Nexus 5x.
Ive been using Pixel Dust 10, After installing almost all the Custom ROMs out there for Nexus 6p, I have been using Pixel Dust 10 flawlessly without any problem. I think it is the best ROMs for angler.

Does your camera works fine under Pixel Dust 10? As when I installed it, I could use camera for about one minute or few takes then camera windows went black and only restarting phone would make it work again.
Some times I had issue with Chrome but over all it was working pretty good
I have now returned to original Oreo 8.1 and looks like battery is working better as the phone it self. Ai
Although I have issue with Google play store, which I described on another post.

It has been a 2 month since ive used Pixel Dust now, Since im using Nexus 6p as a secondary phone i rarely take pictures with it. The sock camera app kept crashing so i moved to "open camera", which has been working fine for me. I have not experiences any issues with Chrome yet or any other app for that matter. My only issue now is the battery performance, i can only hot 2 hours of youtube video playback. its nice that you returned to 8.1, but i perosnally feel like i would lose lots of functionalities that i love like Always on Display.
