Facing the same issue, checking hw overlays solve this issue but I'm not a dev and I don't know if always checking hw overlay is ok or harmful for the phone

this seems to be a bug with the youtube app on the most recent update. also experiencing same thing..
watching youtube on uc browser doesnt have this issue.. so this is basically an issue with the official youtube app..

This lag has been fixed few weeks ago, but after 6.0.1 released it has returned. Just wait for YouTube app to update

tmobile has the new binge on feature, that lowers the quality of youtube video(even though youtube usnt included). thats why. and the fix for that is to disable binge on.

nice to know.. but yes im also having some lag on youtube, but not most of the time.. the most prominent lag is when you are scrolling on videos below the player from the official youtube app and video playback stutters but not the sound but it resumes good after you stop on scrolling ...

-help-Xperia YOUTUBE panel stutter

Hey,
I recently updated my Xperia X1 to generic R3a, and then installed the Youtube app/panel onto it.
Nearly every video stutters, like the frame rate drops randomly. I dont think I noticed that issue on firmware R1A. .. so does anyon else have this issue? can someone help me diagnose it?
Uninstall all of your youtube relate cabs and install this.
Once that is installed you can play YouTube videos perfectly. The YouTube application you just installed is Google's YouTube Application.
Okay, now that it's done download the ZIP below, unzip, and install HTC's YouTube Application Cabs.
edit cant upload xda forums not working
Errr
NVM I got it installed... so this is the offical one, huh?
NVM I got it installed. So how do I get a panel?
The panels don't work anymore. I think. Atleast not after I install the new panel manager.
"New panels manager"? What do you mean? And is this new youtube app supposed to be better than the other one that supposedly worked fine on R1A? I guess ill have to settle with this one, even though this one still has stuttering (to a lesser degree).
I think you are absolutely clueless. What do you mean stuttering? Are you talking about your crappy internet connection? If so, that isn't stuttering. Sigh...
...
By stuttering, I meant that the frames dropped dramatically at random times in the video. Moreover, my connection is fine, and I tried two wifi access points.

oh that just means the Xperia is slow. Most of the time my Xperia never lags. I think R3A makes Xperia faster. Something is wrong.
Are there other people who have noticed the lag on youtube? Can anyone test it with this youtube app Otherwise than that, the Xperia is running super fast. Oh, do you reccomend a custom ROM I should try to flash it to?- Thanks
Can anyone esle try the youtube app (this one) and see if it lags? Also, poetryrocksalot, do you recommend a custom ROM I should try that can boost the speed of my xperia and youtube?

Stuttering videos/gifs after Marshmallow update

So I installed the Marshmallow image on my Nexus and everything worked fine the first day. The next day I wanted to look some reddit gifs but it was stuttering a lot, first I thought it might be the gif itself but it happend to the next gif too and all the others. I tried to wipe the cache but it didn't work and I can't choose another video player in the developer options. Does someone know how to fix it?
Thanks in advance.
I have stuttering in the youtube app ever since the update. When i have the phone in portrait and i scroll through the comments, the video stutters. If i leave it alone n just watch d video (portrait or landscape) everything is fine. No stutters in 9gag gifs though. Anyone else?

I've got the youtube issue as well, tried a couple of different roms all the same. So it's a youtube issue?
I've got that too. And I was wrong about the stuttering in 9gag.
I also have the YouTube issue. Not sure what that's about.

YouTube Problems on 6.0.1

Anyone experiencing YouTube issues with the 6.0.1 update? When I scroll while watching a video the video lags. I googled some solutions and turned on disable hw overlay in the dev settings and that helped.
But now the video freezes while watching it in landscape. So I'm not really sure what to do.
Tried uninstalling the app and clearing data, cache, reinstalling etc. Any ideas?
Bump
Youtube for me is ok , i am un 6.0.1
I get lag while scrolling too
I have no issue with youtube. I use it daily and never see a bit of lag. Mind you I use an aosp based rom that is 6.0.1.
Damn. I might have to do a full wipe.
I enabled 'disable hw overlay' and all is ok, both portrait and landscape mode.

This solution for me worked for Youtube and Twitch, but totally broke Netflix (no image on videos, just sound) and I had to reverse the change to be able to watch on it again.

I have the same issue and its making me crazy! I'm going to try downgrading to a different version of youtube to see if it continues. If that doesn't work then I'm gonna format the phone completely

Probably won't work, because even twitch has the same issue, so this seems more general in stock 6.0.1 ROM.
If your clean install work please post here.

Now it works if you enable disable HW overlay in the developer setting. I heard about this fix somewhere.

Yes, I said in a previous post. This fixes the YouTube problem (and Twitch as I saw with the same issue), but it breaks other video apps. After switching this option in developer settings I couldn't see videos in Netflix anymore (you can hear it, but no image).

Lol now I remember where I saw it. Well I don't use Netflix so I'm good for now. Hope an update fix the issue
I'll do a clean install later on next week. Upgrading computer currently. But hw overlay does fix the YouTube problem for now at least. I have to pause and press play on the video to get it to not freeze so that's still annoying
Any updates from anyone? Just upgraded to the newest update and the problem persists. Hw overlay still fixes the problem however my other video apps like Netflix and Google play movies just give a black screen until I disable it.
(Was a clean install)

Firefox laggy media playback ?

Both video and audio stutter when playing media video. Tried on Youtube and Pornhub.
However this didn't happen before yesterday when i tried to play flash content http://www.ddsahyadri.in/liveTv.php. This happeed after this incident or maybe i never noticed this lag as i hardly use HP to stream video.
I tried to fix this, Disabled all addons( ublock origin, privacy badger,Https everywhere, Dark bg &Light text) and tried playback again, nothing changed. Video was still laggy.
I've reinstalled Firefox with no addons installed , still stuttering is present.
Anyone else have this issue ?
Have you tried to clear app data and try again?

Yes, yes i did.
So you don't have a choppy video playback on Firefox ?
No. But I don't use add-ons on mobile Firefox so I wouldn't know. Someone said that when under 20% phone becomes slower, maybe that's the deal? Also, did you restart your phone soon?

I have choppy playback everywhere on my Honor Play COR-TL10, ON YouTube, chrome and Instagram as well. It sucks
Hope EMUI 9 fixes it soon. Or we get a custom rom with good graces of developers

The battery was at around 80 percent.
At first i uninstalled FF then rebooted my device after which did a fresh install of FF with no extra addons.
The problem still persisted.
Seeing that nothing worked i thought the theme was maybe causing the issue so i removed the EMUI dark theme did a restart. Installed of FF performed a hard boot. And so after 3-4 reboots the videoplayback on Firefox is not choppy now : )

Red Magic 3 screen flicker/issue on specific scene (youtube)

Hi All,
I have used my red magic 3 phone for about 9 months. Since then I have watched youtube videos, netflix, other torrent videos and mostly playing pubg mobile every night and I never come across to this experience (screen flicker).
This screen flicker only happens to one of the scene in youtube.
I am asking you guys, owner of red magic 3 to test this for me too, I am afraid this issue only happen to my screen and not yours. My phone is on Global ROM V2.18.
Here is part 1 and part 2 of my screen issue, some explanation is provided on the video description:
Part 1
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Emt9-pcNAlA
Part 2
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JaiHSd2qqnQ
How to test this:
1. Watch the original youtube video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7sQCmgCmN7U
2. Fast forward between 0:14 - 0:19
3. The flicker only happens at scene 0:16 - 0:18
Please let me know if this issue/flicker also happen on your phone too.
Any feedback is very much appreciated, thank you.
UPDATE FOR A FIX WORKING SOLUTION:
Do not use Youtube App but use Youtube Vanced instead, now any videos that previously has that screen glitch/flickering issue on Youtube, is gone while watching with Youtube Vanced.
Hi, has anyone faced this issue too ?
I have tried to Factory Reset my phone and the problem still persist. But if I download the video from youtube and copy to internal storage and play the video using local player or MX Player, the issue does not happen, kinda weird though.
This issue only happens with Youtube App, m.youtube but not with Netflix app and local video playback (MX Player)
It persists no matter what you do i have same issue

but how do I set the screen refresh rate to 60Hz ?
default refresh rate is 90Hz on home screen, only in game space I can set which app to 90 or 60.
do you have that same issue too ? (my first post youtube link)
Go to settings >display >refresh rate.
This option is only available in cn rom

I see. Alright I will note this for future reference.
In the meantime, I have just found the solution for the Youtube App glitch/flickering, which is to use Youtube Vanced instead.
