I recorded a video about a month ago and had no issues playing it. Yesterday it just stops and I get this message: "Failed to play video. An unknown error has occurred." Today, about half the videos recorded give me this error. Even some of the movies refuse to play.
Haven't installed anything new, so puzzled why this happens and whether there is a fix.
The memory card containing the files is a SanDisk Ultra Android 128 GB
I'm in the same boat....Doesn't matter if its a video from whatsapp or gallery, the error occurs. Temp fix for me is to clear cache of whatsapp/program giving the error, restart and all is working fine...this works well for +- a week, then it starts again. This problem suddenly started....
Hi I recorded my sister's wedding on my S7 edge, and I tried to upload the video to youtube and now I get the same message. "failed to play video an unknown error has occurred". The video did not upload and now can no longer be played on my S7. any help would be greatly appreciated as it is the only copy of her wedding video!

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.
This is ugly,
Playnow is down for XPERIA X2 right now and I can't streaming via Youtube right now, it always shows Error Connection Problem (Failed to Initialize. You willl not be able to search or play videos. As far I remember the last time use it (about week ago) it is till fine.
Is it Virus or it is caused SE/ Youtube close something?
edit: I tried on X1, same problem occured.
I'm trying to get google play movies to play man of steel (which I purchased from google) but I keep getting a "there was a problem while playing" message when I attempt to stream the movie,when I download the movie it only plays for 9 seconds before I receive the same error message except this time the error message includes "[-38]". So it got me thinking that perhaps its because I'm running a custom ROM. Has anyone here gotten google play movies to work while on a custom ROM?
Same Problem with ROM installed
Yeah I have had an issue with it as well! For some reason doesn't play "Network Error" At this moment I have the Note 4 and when I had the Note 3 it did the same thing every time I was running a ROM. I ran serval ROM on the Note 3 and had the same message on each ROM. Now I'm running a new ROM "Infoumous" it on my Note 4 and still get the same message and as well Netflix is have issues not connect which they were working fine before! So it seems the ROM are the problem. With every ROM I have installed always the same thing! I have a growing collection of Google Play Movies and yeah it sucks when you can watch it on your Phone. Your not alone in this problem!
So I bought a new nexus player for 30 bucks hoping to have a simple player that plays disneylife and netflix for my kids. Big mistake. I can’t stream any videos on disneylife, I get “an unexpected error occurred, try playing video again”. And on netflix it says “we’re having trouble playing this title right now. please try again later or select a different title” i tried reinstalling the apps, even factory resetting the nexus even though it’s new. Still same problem.
Can anyone help? It’s version 5.0 and it says it’s up to date in the system update.
Hi, some weeks ago I flashed my G4 Plus with the latest Arrow OS ROM in that moment, the weird thing is that after flashing it there was no video reproduction, YouTube videos will show an error and nothing happens, I tried to reflash but after that there was another problem, it continuosly said that android.process.media has stopped, I tried to reflash again but this time there's no error on process.media but theres's no video play either, no player works, i can't watch videos neither on youtube or twitter, or any kind of player. So if someone can send a light on me and tell what the heck is going on i will be forever thankfull bc this is a secondary phone i was using a Redmi Note 7 but it was stolen so i've to go back to my old Moto G4 Plus
