Hello all,
I want to know if someone is having problems controlling videos on YouTube app with EMUI 4.1 using YouTube app and Chromecast.
The notification controls doesn't work, the play buttons are stuck on Play button and nothing happens when we press.
On YouTube app is the same thing, the seek bar is too behind the actual video, I can pause but can't play and vice versa.
So to resume I actually CAN'T control videos on YouTube and Chromecast using EMUI.
Does someone know how to solve the problem, or just I'm having these problems?
Thanks.
(hope you can understand my bad english)
EDIT:
I reinstalled my firmware and its working great now. Maybe were an issue with the original firmware (I redownload and used the dload method)

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.
This issue is related to the application "Feedly".
I watched a video with the browser of Feedly. I stopped watching it in the middle by pressing the system "back" key, but the video was still playing in the background (I could hear the sound), even if I exited/restarted Feedly. Amazingly, even if I turned off the screen, the video kept playing. It seemed that there is no way to stop the sound of that video, so finally I restarted the phone.
Anyone encountered the same issue?
The webpage/feed I was browsing:
http://www.universetoday.com/103719/how-can-we-stop-an-asteroid/
You can reproduce the problem by add the rss feed to your Feedly reader and play the video of that webpage with the internal browser of Feedly.
With the Chrome browser, after exiting the browser the video won't play in the background.
Android version: 4.2.2
------------------------
What amazes me is that, in the past I had been looking for a way to play some video on Youtube in the background and didn't found a good solution. Someone said that that is not possible. But now I find that this is indeed possible.
Feedly is most likely the issue, try contacting the developer via email in the Play Store about this.
You can force stop the app in the settings or by pressing the recent key, press and hold Feedly, press "App info" and then press "Force Stop".

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.

Newbie here and have searched as much as I can.
I’ve got a Tesla Style unit installed.
All works fine but certain apps will play for about five seconds then crash. These include (YouTube, Apple Music, netflix)
Other video streaming apps work fine. iplayer, cinemahd etc.
What could be causing this? And is there anything I can do to resolve it?
Thanks
Little update

I checked earlier and it’s also happening when trying to view YouTube or Netflix through the chrome browser. It’ll play for a few seconds then crash chrome.
