Netflix problems? - Galaxy Tab 8.9 General

I have the AT&T LTE 8.9 Tab. I installed Netflix from the market. Performance is horrible! Choppy video, sound out of synch, not worth watching. Both SD and HD content have the problem. WiFi, I'm getting 17 to 20 Mbs downloads with SpeedTest.net. I don't have a sim card in it, so no mobile data.
Anybody else having the same problem? Any ideas on how to fix it?
I searched, but couldn't find anything on Netflix, other than a couple of people mentioning it works great...

Yea, unfortunately it works great for me.
Try clearing the app data, then try a reinstall from the market.

I'll give it a go. Thanks a lot!

No good. Did all that, and still the same problems.

try other version of netflix, search on google for it.
if stills no go, change the rom

Playback for me is fine, but the UI is ridiculously laggy and sluggish, anyone else have this problem? or know of a fix for it? Is getting pretty awful :/

Netflix works fine...really don't know what you guys are doing wrong. All I had to do is clear app data and login.

Weird. I checked it again after following Orlandoxpolice's advice. SD content is choppy and the sound is out of synch. HD content plays fine. Shouldn't it be the other way around???

Is there a Rom out for the LTE version? I looked and haven't seen one...

no
try a different .apk version maybe?

Same problem with Netflix in HD
I've the same problem, but only in HD. The image appears to be in slow motion, but it only happens when it's on HD. On SD, everything is fine. I've installed another rom, without the carrier stuff, a samsung standard, but the problem persists. My wi-fi connection gives me 20mb...

MLB.TV Flash Working???

I have an htc incredible and we havent got froyo yet, but I was wondering when and if we did if mlb.tv would work on it. Is it working for anyone with a N1 with 2.2? When using my phone and if i login it will open the window to play the video but it just sits there and never opens anything. Even if you dont have a mlb.tv account you should be able to see if it plays video. Just wanted to know.
TIA

you might have to set the browser to desktop....
then again, i was on the Rolex website yesterday, and it ran kind of slow, but hell, the flash is so intensive, it runs slow on my desktop too.
edit: nevermind... I should have read your post a little better.
videos play fine.

I just tried in my home connection and phone connection. I could load the video player for a game played earlier today and even got the video to start playing once, but it was a horrible process and the video appeared to be really choppy. It is worth mentioning that my home internet connection is very slow ( less than 1mbps ) and I can't get consistent 3g anywhere in my house ( I live in rural Idaho ). Next time I'm in town I will give it a try and report back.

were you on 3g?
Just tried it in 3g. No go. The video is way too choppy. It displays a message saying the video isn't optimized for mobile viewing.

A quick note: I didn't try any of the 3rd-party browsers. I have a feeling SkyFire might be able to handle it.

Anyone else get laggy video?

Anyone else get laggy video while watching Youtube or Netflix on their Galaxy 8.9 ICS? (I have a 10.1 ICS as well and the lag is the same).
I have noticed similar activity.

I'm not sure about netflix but I've got same stuttering/laggy HD videos in the youtube app as well after the update to ICS. It no longer streams HD videos smoothly. Switching HD off makes it play fine. I'm running stock ICS, and on HC it was smooth. Watch this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2YJggBVdeI
in youtube app. The stuttering is quite annoying, every 5-10 seconds.
It's not my bandwidth. I don't know if this is an ICS issue or the youtube app issue, but my phone with ICS has no problems playing HD videos in youtube app. Does anyone know a fix ? Thanks.

I'm getting the same problem too! Pretty frustrating. I'm happy with the ROM otherwise. Can anyone help?
Same problem myself. Downloading the YouTube video with Tubemate and there's no problem. No clue how to fix it. :/
Same here
HD videos in youtube that used to play flawlessly now stutter as mentioned above after the update to ICS. Is their an official samsung grievances forum where we can all go and put this as a bug?

Isn't the YouTube app from Google? Anyway, yes I do get the stuttering on some hd videos mainly those with a lot of action. I bet there is something wrong with the codec used by the YouTube app.

I bet not. Using AOKP it is fine, no stuttering. Samsung released something half baked.

Video streaming not functioning - CM10

As the title suggests, I'm unable to stream video, this all happened after upgrading from CM9 to CM10. I've tried different apps, YouTube, TED, Netflix, neither work.
I can watch regular videos just fine, including 720p.
Any ideas what's up?

Did you tried those streaming videos on any other phones as well.
Yes, the videos work fine on other devices...
I am able to watch clips stored on my phone, regular files, and I am able to watch clips on other devices (watched some 720p videos from my laptop with MX Player)
I am unable to stream video whether they are in the browser, the YouTube app; TED Talks app; Netflix app, or anything else.
What happens when I try is the thing loads, the duration of the clip is shown in the progress bar, but it refuses to play, just goes in an endless loop of looking like the buffering is finished.

try vplayer and see if it helps
I don't think you understand.
I don't have a problem with regular video clips (which is what vplayer does), i have a problem solely with streaming video.

Hi. First of all, did you fix permissions when you installed cm10? Was it a clean install? If so, try to stream your videos over WiFi, not over EDGE network. A few months ago I was unable to watch you tube videos on my PC and on my phone over WiFi (over 3G network it worked) and I called my ISP after that, in 2 days everything was just like before. YouTube worked again. So, it may be a problem with your ISP too (if using WiFi from home although is less probable).
Ultimately you can try dalvik/cache wipe and reinstall cm10 or try a different ROM, maybe it's gonna solve the problem.
I hope this helps.
Naw it wasn't a clean install (when going from CM9), I did the usual dalvik wipe but that was it. I was going to do a clean install once CM10 stable came out anyway, so I guess I'll take your advice and do a proper upgrade now...
The problem is persistent btw, wifi or 3g doesn't make a diff, but lets see what happens after the wipe.
Thanks

So I did a proper install: full wipe, installed cm10 stable, and flashed semaphore kernel 2.6.0.
After restoring my backup, everything worked. YouTube, TED, Netflix, regular video playback, all good.
Then today, no go, video playback works, but streaming video in either apps no longer works.
The only difference between today and before is that I tried using H/W+ decoder in MX Player, could that have broken it somehow?
Before posting I fixed permissions and rebooted, no change.
Ideas?

Youtube not working on 3G/HSPA+ connection

Hi, Guys
I am using "[DEV/ROM/4.1.2] [Dec 21 2012] CM10 | Jelly Bean 4.1.2 - v3.0 for N1" this rom.
However, I met a problem that Youtube is not working on my phone while I am using 3G mobile data connection, but it works well when I am using WIFI.
Anyone has the same problem? Could anyone help me with this?
Cheers,
I did not have the problem. Perhaps your 3G connection is slow. Which ROM are you using? Vijendrahs ROM ?
Yep, I am currently using that one. I have tried other roms as well, they did not work either. I also tried other YouTube player like Tubemate, sometimes I could load the video or ads when I chose low resolution, e.g., 320x240. My 3g speed is actually quite decent, can up to 200kbs. I am wondering it has something to do with the operator or internet setting?

By looking at the App comments for the latest update, it looks like many users are facing this problem (Buffering/Video failing to load). Can you try putting an earlier version of Youtube and test?
btw, Youtube is not blocked in your country right?

YouTube won't play HD quality with mobile data?

For some reason I can't play HD quality videos on my z1s... It will play on standard quality but once I select HD it errors out and won't load. Is it just me or are you guys having this issue as well? I Tried clearing cache, data, force stopping it. Same thing. I haven't uninstalled the update. Might have to try that next. Any suggestions?

If you have the latest version and is not working then yes, you should uninstall the update and try again with the older one. If the problem persist maybe is the bandwidth of mobile phone weak.
It's YouTube. Uninstall to revert back to the original app and it plays fine.

It's 100% definitely the youtube app and it kind of pisses me off a little too actually because yes like stated already, the older version works fine but the most updated version causes the problem and I'm sorry but on a high end brand new device, I expect to be able to run the latest most brand new updated apps, especially ones as popular as youtube! I just purchased my Z1s but I also own a note 3 and YouTube works fine on that phone. I love my Z1s a lot and realize it's the app and not the phone but youtube needs to issue an update and resolve this issue so their latest version of their app works with all of the latest flagship devices! I've emailed them already about it and still no response even, let alone an update.

Youtube Hd on 3g/Late/4G
The current. Youtube app doesn't allow you to play any. Hd videos on 3G or 4G/LTE
There is a hacked older version which does though
