I'm having a strange issue on my HTC 10. It's an unlocked phone converted to rooted stock Verizon. When I play videos, it works the first time. Then, when I try to play another video a day or two later, the video program crashes. At first I assumed it was the VLC video app, but I have tried four different video players, and they all do the same thing ... they work at first, and then they crash later. Also, I can uninstall the app, reinstall it and it will work again for that session. Does anyone have any ideas on where to even start troubleshooting this?

is anyone having a video playback problem with HTC video player ???
I have, tried openeing a rather low-res MP4 video, and it wouldn't open it; the screen was black and it only said "loading" or whatever.
I tried 3 or 4 times, and during the last attempt it said something like "fatal error - blah blah - ARM11"
I didn't risk trying openening any videos again
No problems here at all - with mp4 files. Any other format is... disappointing. Except maybe if you install another video player app.
the problem, i am experiencing is the video recorded with the handset can not be played at all. i had to do hard reset couple of times just to have it work again. this happens after i install some applications. i tried uninstalling the apps, but in vain.
really appreciate if anyone can help me out here !!!

If it works after a hard reset, but not after installing some apps, do a hard reset and then try playing a video after each installation. That way you can identify which app is causing the problem.
Sounds like you'll need another hard reset afterwards, but at least you'll know the app that is breaking the video playback, and you can let us all know so that no-one installs it again!
I will bet you its right after you install the youtube app, because it uses similar files (you may notice the video playback uses a UI similar to that in the playback in the YouTube app) Would like to know if this situation can be fixed myself, without having to resort to flashing a rom and losing my warranty

You're spot on dude. I device was playing videos very well until I installed Youtube. Noticed straight away it was that causing the problem. I haven't removed youtube simple because of the fact its a brilliant app! works brilliant with wifi. Such a shame its the only place I can see video footage!
SOME ONE PLEASE FIND A WAY TO FIX IT OTHER THAN UNINSTALLING YOUTUBE!
remove youtube app and still watch youtube on opera
You may find this thread useful in getting opera to work properly when you visit youtube dot com. That way you can get rid of the app and still watch vids from there - you can even cue vids up in a playlist exactly like on a desktop pc.
I just update to 3.1 to my WIFI XOOM using Clockwork Recovery method .
this first thing in notice is that it was listed as a Verizon
Motorola Xoom in the web market, while the original listing (
Motorola Xoom) still there.
Any way, after playing my 2nd video in YouTube app, strange bug happened , any video i want to play after that , YT would play the same 2nd video and not the video i selected! i tried to select different videos by searching or selecting one from the main dashboard and it will not play the video i selected but will always play the same 2nd video although the info,comment and related video is for the one i selected and not the one playing!
I forced close YouTube from the Mange Applications setting, clear all data and cache and rebooted my Xoom, still didn't works and the same bug happened! I really started to hate this video after playing it or the millionth time
am i alone in this , any one else got that same bug!
Update 1: It's seem like HD issue, whem play video in SD it's play the desired video!
Hello XDA,
I'm running Windows 8 CP on my Dell L502X Laptop. Ever since 10.3 I've been having issues with Flash Player. The plugin didn't work correctly previously, and every flash video I played look like crap because it would do some really weird flickering (it flickered from one frame to an older frame). If I tried to skip forward in the video it would become un-viewable and I would see random bars on the video (audio worked).
I updated to a newer version of Flash Player, and now nothing works. In Firefox, flash player immediately crashes upon video loading. In Google Chrome, the video does not play either. I can hear the audio for about one second, and then the video freezes the webpage.
I would like to avoid having to upgrade to Windows 8 RP because Microsoft are ****ers, and wont let me keep my files when I upgrade from CP to RP.
I have uninstalled Flash Player and then reinstalled, and it didn't work. I also tried uninstalling both Firefox and Chrome to solve it - didn't work.
Anyways, I'm sure XDA will solve this as they do for most issues I have.
Thanks ahead of time!

I installed the rom from stock a couple of days ago, and the phone restarts whenever i try to watch any video from the gallery, or a youtube link with the player
What i did so far:
Disabled hwa for youtube, restarted. The app doesnt seem to be working properly, it doesnt seem to be applying changes, though it unchecks the apps.
Installed Adobe Flash Player downloaded from adobe's site. Youtube keeps restarting, aswell as the gallery video player.
Installed dolphin mini, chrome and played youtube videos from the navigator. Still restarting.
Installed MX Player, set it to sw only, seems to work for local videos, youtube still restarts the phone.
A couple of things i noticed from other posts:
People that installed the rom from another version dont seem to have the problem.
hwa aplication needs to be restarted a couple of times, never showed adobe flash for the support.
I guess the problem is in a particular library, that doesnt get step over when you upgrade roms, and the issue could be a memory leak of some sort because all the players play atleast a couple of seconds of the video.
I cant post on developers, it doesnt let me till i get 10+ posts.
Anyone has any idea of what to try? Maybe pinpoint me to the library that could be the issue, and where to get it / replace it
Thanks in advance!
In mxplayer settings sw decoder set it for both local and for network.I've set it for audio too be sure.

Did that, but i cant get any youtube workaround
Any ideas about the libraries?
Well what i tried to get a workaround to this problem is this:
Uninstalled the youtube app, using a root uninstaller or whatever.
Set the browser as default to watch videos from the site, it works fine.
Downloaded MX Player, set everything to software, works fine, not great, but fine.
Another issue ive found is that the CPU governor or scalling freezes my settings whenever i try to change its type, i tried a couple of apps like setCPU, and the problem remains. I can live with that.
Ill post here any news i get from the phone, since i cant post on the devs thread yet
Workaround?
rm /system/lib/libstagefrighthw.so
(of course backup first )
This seems to provide a quick solution.
(With Deadline scheduler & HWA on...)
PS: By comparing 20130703 vs. 20130709 libstagefright.so as Quarx suggested few days back they are quite the same according to their sums. Differences are libstagefright_soft_aacdec.so, libstagefright_soft_aacenc.so, libstagefright_yuv.so, libstagefrighthw.so - on which *hw.so does for me...)

I have similar problem the video is divided in 3 parts and in black and white
i solved it by reinstall you tube app
youtube on PA 5.1
I'm having a similar problem, but it is not limited to youtube. I have tired plex too, and it also fails to play a video.
When I play a video youtube I just get "There was a problem while playing. Touch to retry"
In plex the video fails to play telling me to restart my plex media server and to reboot the phone.
I have rebooted the phone and it makes no difference.
Anybody have any ideas on how to fix that? Everything else seems to work properly on this rom so far, and the stock rom is getting more and more laggy which is why I'm trying different roms.
Anybody have any ideas?
**Update**
For some reason a video would start without video at times. When that happens if I change the quality to something lower than 480p, it actually works.
MX player works perfectly regardless of resolution.
Plex is completely broken, it will not work regardless of what I set the video to, it fails.
