Has anyone had any problems with these apps working?
I have a random problem where something happens and I can't get these apps to work.
Netflix - just stays on the loading screen when the logo.I've seen the attached message once appear from the Netflix app.
Prime video - app just has the loading circle
Google Movies - app loads ok and you can navigate around but can't play a movie. Click play and a blank screen shows.
The only thing which fixes this is a phone restart. I have a unlocked UK S8 on the stock firmware.
I have spoken to Samsung support on Twitter but basically they recommended a soft reset which doesn't seem to fix it long term.

Hey all. Ever since I got my A500, the YouTube app does a force close when I try to view videos on certain channels. I have cleared the cache, app data, and even a factory reset but it doesn't seem to help. The main channel this always happens on is machinima. When I try to play a game trailer or a video from the mortal kombat: legacy series, it just closes, even before starting the video. Any one else have this issue? I prefer the app to the browser, but both are extremely slow in the loading dept. Any help is appreciated. Also, I'm not rooted.
odd
Never had FC issues using the official YouTube app on my a500 until I tried to search for "mortal kombat legacy" and selected the first video I saw by the same user name you mentioned, got a force close when trying to load it.
Would imagine this is a issue with the video format used by whoever uploaded said video.
Well it sounds plausible. I should send the channel a message about that.
Hi. After all updates done to my note and to YouTube app, streaming still sucks.... is this app related or is something related to my wifi channels ?
Streming problems occur in my home and in my work place.... so the channel option flunks a bit. YouTube Web page seems to work fine....
Confused.........

A good start would be to go to this web site to get the download speeds that your getting at those locations.
You could also install an app called "WiFi analyzer" in the play store to see how strong your WiFi signal is.

I've posted a fix here that works perfectly in my private builds, but it's up to a dev to implement it in publically-accessible ROMs.
Try one of Darkman's recent creations.
The youtube app sucks. At work got fiber optic network that pushes 500 MBs and the buffering is horrible, can't even watch a simple 30 sec video without it stopping to buffer.
The easiest thing I did was. Side load the flashplayer apk, I then installed Boat Browser (Free in play store and I have been using that for a couple of yrs now). Once installed Open Boat Browser and select the menu button. In there chose Settings then Page Content Settings. I always change the SET USER AGENT to Firefox, then Enable flash/plug-ins to ALWAYS ON. Now you can go to youtube.com and actually watch a video in HD and not have the loading issue.
The youtube app is working fine for me. Plays 1080p HD video on the fly with no buffering. I using comcast xfinity high speed internet. I do have problems playing the youtube app on my PS3 though. But the app works great on my phone and note tablet.
EDIT:
I take that back, youtube seems to be slow. Not just on my phone and tablet apps but also on my computer desktop browser. Did research and everybody else is experiencing the same thing. After youtube update the way they stream and buffer video, it become slow for everybody! Apparently. Its not just the app though.
It's a hit or miss with me. There are days that it works fine and others where it's stuck buffering ever 10 seconds. Its not my connection because I got a 11 mbps down and 1.3 mbps up.

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".

Hi All,
I realise there is already a huge thread about the MK809II but I wanted to focus specifically on streaming media to it as I had hoped this would be its main use for me.
The first thing I installed was the iPlayer app. I have been quite disappointed with this as the streaming quality is very poor despite setting the app to use the highest quality available and my TV only being 720p to start. The iPlayer website generally works well when using firefox with the Desktop By Default add on. When available I can play the HD streams without any problem and even SD streams are better quality than the app.
4oD was my second installation. This has frustrated me even more. By default this will not play to HDMI out. My MK809II came rooted so I was able to hide the HDMI out from the app as described (I would've posted a link but I'm not allowed! Its easily found by googling). Now the app allows me to start playing a show but sits continually on a black screen with a buffering icon. I have tried instead to download a show, although there aren't many available, this does seem to download a significant proportion of the show but I always get the message 'Download failed'. Over the last couple of days despite not watching anything the app has downloaded over 2Gb of data! I have read that it will also fail to work if the device is rooted, I haven't had a specific warning about this but again tried another app to hide the fact that its rooted and restarted 4oD but the same black screen appears.
So I thought I could get round this by using the web site as I had with iPlayer, this allows me to log in ad browse around but I encounter the same black screen and buffering icon.
I haven't attempted SkyGO yet, I'm not feeling confident of getting anywhere with that if I can get 4oD to work! Nor have I tried ITV or Channel5.
For myself and others as anyone got a setup that works better than this or used other streaming services? Maybe decent quality out the iPlayer app - or anything out of 4oD?
Just got my SM-T580, rooted it and froze some bloatware. Then I couldn't find the regular videoplayer app. I can see it in Titanium, it hasn't been frozen, but not in the drawer. Read that it is sort of integrated with Google's Play Movie & TV so defrosted that, but still no video app.
Never mind, thought I, plenty of other apps in Play. But why does every app play my imported and automatically converted video's in some sort of slow motion? Sound seems OK, but picture goes at half speed. Those videos (imported-converted) played OK on my SM-T320.
Any suggestions would be appreciated on both issues (where is video app and why slo-mo).
