I recently managed to install the latest Mokee rom on my phone, and I must say I am very pleased with it, except for this issues I'm now stuck with: apparently I am completely unable to playback any video on my phone.
At first I tried recording some videos: when I tried to watch them back to check the quality, a popup told me it was unable to play them. I thought that maybe they were not being saved correctly, so I tried to watch them on my pc, but to my surprised they played fine! I tried the opposite process too, playing on the phone videos coming form the pc, and the result was the same disappointing failure in reproducing it.
Then I thought it could be some problem with the default player, so I downloaded VLC from the play store and gave it a go. What happened next surprised me even more, as it would play the first couple of seconds of video before crashing miserably giving an error report log.
I now suspect it has got something to do with the rom itself.
Have you guys got any ideas?

It should be kernel related, that's the same with last audahadi kernel.

Has anyone been having problems playing youtube videos? For some strange reason, I can play one video and any attempt afterwards results in a long loading screen followed by a forced close. When I try to get back into watch a video again, i get an error message that the video can't be played. I'm getting this for all the videos. I've tried running Paul's Desire ROM r22 as well as Enomther's latest ROM and the same problem is persisting. I'm getting this problem when running the YouTube widget but everyting is fine when I go to youtube.com.
Is there any way to get HTML5 video playback working in the stock browser in any of the CM10.1 derived ROMs and SCHIZOID in particular?
I've never managed to get it working. I used to always get a grey area; if you clicked on it, it'd look like it was to start playing, but it just did as it the playback had finished and showed the replay options, etc.
Surprisingly, a couple of weeks ago I reinstalled SCHIZOID (I think it was the 11JUN build) after a complete wipe and I found out it was working. But after updating to the 01JUL build, it stopped working again. So I tried a clean install of this version. Nothing, still doesn't work. I've even again clean installs of 11JUN and even 07JUN and 02JUN (in case it was one of those the one) to no avail.
It can't be impossible as it was working for a few weeks before the update, but I don't seem to find what it depends on.
Video playback using Flash doesn't seem to work anymore either in these ROMs. There seems to be a problem with the overlays, and although the video is playing and you can hear it, all you can see is a black box.
Can anybody throw any light on this? Thanks.
Nothing? Could someone at least confirm that video playback doesn't work and it's not just me who can't get it working? Cheers!
I was having the same problem with flash, I could hear the video but couldn't see it. I found a work around by accident, I taped the full screen option on the player and in full screen flash video works. Hope that helps if you're still having the problem.

I'm sure this is a really common problem, but I can't get any videos to play on YouTube on my HP touchpad with cm10.1. I had the same problem with cm9 and thought cm10.1 might fix it but I was wrong.
Tried finding the answer on these forums but didn't have any luck.
Thanks!!
Do you have any audio problems? I have the same problem but it only happens when the audio stops working (which is a few minutes after rebooting).

No, no audio problems at all and the problem is all the time not just on bootup...
Did you do a dirty install or wipe it clean and start from scratch? I haven't had any issues on mine but I've been doing a clean install each time I upgrade to a higher version.

Clean install, and I had the same problem both on cm9 and on cm10.1
If I remember correctly, I was able to play YouTube videos on cm9 sometimes if I made the settings HQ but on the new YouTube app it doesn't even give me enough time to change the settings. Just immediately doesn't play the video with either an "unsupported video format" or an "action isn't allowed" error.
Hmmm, I haven't heard of any widespread youtube problems. I'm beginning to wonder if it might be a hardware related problem with your tablet. Can you play videos using something else, like MX Player? If so, does it play in hardware mode?

I can play videos in mx player , but hardware mode is a little choppy.
Interestingly, I just tried playing YouTube videos in the browser and it did work fine... So maybe its a problem only with the YouTube app? But why would it only affect my touchpad?
Wow just uninstalled and reinstalled the YouTube app and now it works.
Can't believe it was so simple to solve this problem that I have had for months on two different ROMs...
Thanks for the help guys!
I have a 2013 Moto X XT1053. I recently run into the problem where if I play a video a few seconds later the video would stop. This happens on youtube video (played via youtube app), local video playback( play via various players), and also games. When I start a game it would boot me out to the home page in a few seconds (sometimes longer). Seems any video or graphics will cause this bug. I have not updated the phone and have been running 4.4.4 for a while without a problem. It just happen out of the blue one day.
This bug happens even if my phone is bone stock.
So far I have tried reset the phone a few times. I also reload the factory image via RSlite to go back to a fresh out of box state. But it still does the same thing. I'm looking for help and suggestions. Thanks
Hi guys,
After updating my sm-n960f (exynos) to android 10 via ota I can't play videos correctly.
With default player everything is fine but when it comes to third party players (mx player, vlc player etc) the problem shows up.
It's like I'm streaming a video which im not (playing from internal storage) the video freezes and actually there is a loading bar in mx player like when you're streaming ! I tried reinstall the apps, upgrading to last versions, turn off optimise battery usage but none of them works.
This problem is really annoying and I don't know what to do with this.
Help me please.
Thanks in advance
I would contact the app developer with the details. They will probably address this in a future update.

Thanks for your reply,
Of course the best way is contact to developers but since I have this issue on every third-party video player after updating to android 10 I just wanted to know that maybe there is a fix , trick or something that may help with this problem
This is a definate problem. On my Android 4 back up expria, ancient, android 4.4, all videos play fine. I only use Mx Player Pro, and find files using es explorer full. On Android 10 q, I tested same using a brand new 128 gig sd card, vidoes played fine upon installation or aforementioned apps, watched a vid, went to sleep, woke up, went to watch a vid, no video now plays. NONE. Tried different versions of mx player, tried vlc, different versions, but stuck with latest, knowing the problem is android 10 q, since the same 128 gig sd card with same movies all play fine in android 4.4, so yeah, get ready for the freeze's that lead to bootloop. I even tried wipe cache in recovery, and the factory reset, re-installed apps, same problem. Why they played, then stopped playing anything is beyond me, since i had no wifi connected, and no sim installed, quite simply, viewing video's in android 10 q is now a no go.
Symptoms include:
Immediate black screen, need to force reboot by holding power for 30 seconds.
Full black screen with tiny blue square dead center, nothing else functons, again, 30 second forced reboot
Video starts, then phone reboots of it's own accord
No video plays.
No, I dont have a virus, settings are set to sw decoding, since hardware brings more problems.
I guess they want us to go on youtube, but since I banned google in my entire network...
