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

Really? I was thinking that since my gfs HTC one won't either. It plays fine in my s3, but then again it's rooted. Maybe that's the case? Oh well.

What is the highest resolution you can play?
I seem don't have issue playing YouTube HD. I am just playing some testing 1080p clips such as Nvidia or THX on my Z1s.
My YouTube version is 5.3.32

Hi all,
I've looked around but I guess we will have to accept the fact that the N7 falls short when it comes to media playing capabilities.
The other day me and a friend were comparing 2 awesome devices, my N7 and his S3.
The S3 handles most formats of video without any issues and even features an amazing PIP feature that lets you see videos on desktop or over other apps without lagging the system.
The N7 on the other hand can hardly play any worthy media formats. I downloaded some HD YouTube devices in mp4 format via tubemate app but couldn't play any of those with hardware and software rendering.
I couldn't even play my 720p movies that the S3 or the galaxy tab handles like a baby.
I'm guessing there might be some way to watch movies otherwise it seems an awful waste of the multi core processor and gpu.
Looking forward to your feedback / comments
Not really sure what's happening on your end, but I can play all files perfectly smooth. Though only up to 720p mkvs so far. I'm using BSPlayer by the way.
I've yet to find a video file I couldn't play, though I also haven't pushed past 720p mkv files. Mostly using MoboPlayer and the VLC Beta. What are you using for a video player?
Yeah, you have to install bsplayer litehttps://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bsplayer.bspandroid.free

Just got my nexus yesterday (first android device ) and tested a few media players, there are a number that have hardware decoding and can play pretty much anything.
I've settled on using "DicePlayer" as its the only one I found that still supports DTS, it also supports smb natively so no file manager needed.
You need to install "DicePlayer" and "DicePlayer Plugin" if you want DTS then you need to follow the advice in the thread below (simple process)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1769799
Having no trouble at all playing 1080p mkv over smb very impressed
OK now on sure there's something wrong at my end. No wonder I was so frustrated. I have tried all of the above players but not able to play high def files. My device is stock, unrooted and otherwise running awesome. YouTube HD works great but if I download the same video, it doesn't play past a few seconds on software rendering. On hardware rendering there's no video.
Do me a favor, download Katy Perry's Wide Awake video using the tubemate android app. Select a high resolution and see if you can play it. Thatwill answer a lot many questions
Agree on DicePlayer, it has always been the best for me on tegra 3 devices.
The video playing capability on the nexus should exceed that of the s3. Thats where the quad-core comes in handy.
If you want the "PIP", or floating video window on the nexus look for Stick It on the play store.
There was a video on youtube that I cant find now. They tried to see how many stick it windows they could get opened before the prime was out of memory and gave up. They got to somewhere around 14 or so seperate windows all playing different videos. good times.

I'm not installing an app I don't want but I did download "Katy Perry's Wide Awake" in 1080p from the KatyPerryVEVO channel, played it over smb from my pc in dice player and it worked fine and was hardware decoded.
Of course you need "DicePlayer Plugin" for HW decoding

Yup. OK installing the tegra 2 plugin and retrying. Will update in a bit
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app
OK, installed the tegra 2 plugin and still the same issue. The player stops at exactly the same spot, around a minute or so. Tried with 2 different videos. I'm guessing now that there is something wrong in the app that I'm using to download these videos since its difficult to imagine that such a great device would lack here.
Funny thing is, same videos are playing flawless on my Desire HD

Sounds like you have an app installed that is causing problems.I know the ultimate rotation app many use to get a tablet ui caused the same effect on my n7.Once I got rid of it I have never had another problem with any video.I use the BS player and it plays about anything I have come across. jmo
I dont have ultimate rotation. I use adw to get landscape home. Tried BSplayer too but let me try again just to be sure
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app
I suggest you look at MX Video Player with the ARMv7 codec pack. Both are free and available on the market. Plays everything I've ever thrown at it. Every once in awhile something looks funky and to resolve it I switch it to S/W decode mode.
Anyways, I hope that helps.

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.

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.

Hi:
Just an FYI, whether you get 4.3 on the original Nexus 7 or on the new one, most video players won't work--Dice Player, VLC, MX etc. don't work. Fortunately, Vplayer, free, does. The only one for the time being.

I have BS working for now, not a patch on MX Player in my opinion. Waiting for the update.
This is probably MX Player's biggest problem. The developer for it is extremely slow to respond. Considering the money has had made off the app, you'd think he'd be a bit quicker about it.

+1 - this nightly of VLC is the only app I can find following updating to Jellybean 4.3 that will play 720p MKVs with AC3 audio as smooth as MX Player does on 4.2.2.
getting error code when trying to install it
Which VLC nightly should be used on N7 v4.3? They list V6Arm with FPU, V6ARM no FPU, and V7ARM.
I used the v7 (VLC-debug-20130726-1426.apk specifically) which works fine.

Nope, it will work fine without root. Just don't expect miracles with Fling. It can run mp4 videos fine but MKV's and AVI's are a mess. The transcoder used is complete crap and unless you are running a beast PC and don't want 1080p video you will be ok, otherwise those file types are unplayable as is. MP4 streaming works because it doesn't need to be transcoded. It's just being played natively on the Chromecast.

Stream local unsupport content yes. Mp4 files will work fine. So will Mp3's. Just not AVI's. I think AVI's are causing the most problems actually. MKV's can get playback but it's so laggy and quality of picture is very low. AVI's just seem like they wont play. Still this device has been out for about a month now. You can't expect hacked features like this to be complete. If you buy a Chromecast now you are buying it for what it will do not what it can do.
