I seem to be having playback issues on Nougat. Be it custom or stock. Any video I play give me an error that something went wrong. Once I restart, I'm good again. Anyone experiencing the same?
No, video apps like vlc and mx for example working well on 7.0 and 7.1 roms for me. Do you mean embedded videos while you are browsing? Then you should try another browser
It does not matter where I play it. Fb messenger, IG, youtube app...
Ill try to remove all my apps and monitor... It's weird just started happening recently. It did not happen on dev preview so it could be a rogue app...

Which rom or roms? May you try other kernel, like franco, flash or elementalx. But your issue is new to me, never noticed on stock or custom
I first noticed it on Nitrogen. So I decided to flash stock to isolate but it still happens. Im trying PN and I will monitor

What happens:
The phone refuses to play most media types, refusing to play songs, movies etc that had played without issue previously.
Music:
The stock touchwiz music player refuses to play mp3s, cycling through the playlist attempting several songs before exiting back to the list, displaying the error message "Sorry the player does not support this type of audio file". The same message is given when trying to use Fede's music app (fedecarnale's wp7 style music player)...
Video:
The video player gives the message "Sorry, this video cannot be played." while an alternative app QQ player plays the media without problems. Another example is the youtube app which gives "There was a problem while playing Touch to retry".
When does it happen:
This problem presents on both my Captivate and my girlfriends Vibrant after a non specific amount of time. One the problem presents, it remains regardless of memory or cache clearing, app closing etc.
What fixes it (temporarily):
As soon as one of these errors is given, the other apps behave the same way, and a reboot fixes the issue temporarily.
So I don't know enough about how the phone works to sort out the common cause of it all... but I can give you any information you want if it will help you sort it out... I realize that the difference between QQ and video player must be different than between fede's and the music player... I gather that he must be using more of the same stuff whereas QQ might bring its own codecs or whatnot... Any help would be greatly appreciated!
tldr:
I'm having media/codec issues with my SGS on froyo, have you heard of the problem? any ways to fix it?
I used to have this same issue when I was running Doc's XWJS8 Froyo rom with Hardcore Speedmod K13E Kernel. Since I switched to Simply Honey 3.5 Gingerbread it hasn't been a problem
I have this issue on stock Gingerbread ROM from Samsung (JPO). I didn't find a cure for it.
customer support was useless as anticipated, they suggested that it could be a corrupt app and I should factory reset... that is always their recommendation...
its just unusual that both my girlfriend and I would have it on different phones, different carriers and with a different set of apps...
The only real apps that we share in common shouldn't be going anywhere near media such as launcher pro and some games...
Well I was reading on another forum that Twitter for android seemed to be causing media files not to be read. More than one user reported no further problems when they uninstalled the twitter app and started using something different.
So it could be an app not playing well.

I have an AT&T Captivate with Froyo and I get the same issue. It is exactly as described here.
My phone has the froyo you install from Kies Mini.
Model number :SAMSUNG-SGH-I897
Firmware version 2.2
Baseband Version I897UCKB1
Kernel Version 2.6.32.9
I will try uninstalling my Twitter app and see.
The annoying part of this bug is that when i have a custom ringtone based on an MP3, it would not play so I would miss calls. I hope uninstalling the Twitter app fixes it. I'll reply back with it after a day.
This issue happens to me after about a day from restarting my phone (on/off)
I've gone a full day so far and my media still works.
I guess it is the twitter app?
Edit: yes it is the Official Twitter app causing this issue for me.
After uninstalling 2 days ago, I have not experienced this issue.
I was curious if anyone has problems playing the vids on youtube that are HQ. If I turn off the HQ for the the vid then it plays no problem.
When I leave it on, a msg from the app displays just saying there was a problem playing your video please retry.
I've experienced this only in one other app recently released by funimation.
Hulu and netflix work fine for me. I have tried a multitude of roms to see if its linked to specific ones.

Question has been asked a million times . Anyways here's your answer, you need to use an older version of the youtube app for HQ to work. AFAIK the last working version is 2.1.6. Happy youtubing!
I have seen this a million times as well. But I never really paid any attention because I didn't care.
But yesterday I was testing some system app mods, so I ended up downloading YouTube from the market. HQ videos were playing for me.
I guess that's unusual or whatever. Maybe they weren't really HQ quality, I don't know. But they were playing.
Me and the kid watched funny cat videos for over an hour.
Non-opengl, no system mods that would matter.

That's interesting, what rom are you using?
Could you try it out again and report back?
I was afraid it was something app related. Its not a big deal. Was mostly curious as well as seeing if I could do some tweak to get the funimation app to work as well. Thanks for the help!

For those of us who want to use the older version until things get fixed or worked around in the roms, how can I hide the older apk from the market so I don't get spammed all the time to update?

Go to settings in market/play store and tell it to not notify you of any updates.

Okay, well I had flashed a couple of times since I posted that, and when I went to try it again, it didn't work. I knew I wasn't wrong the other day, so I reflashed what I thought I had been running before, and now the HQ videos are working with the current market YouTube.
The change between working and not working was I didn't flash the "take1" kernel like I had before.
So this is the setup. I am running a straight build from source, without opengl. I built it myself, but that shouldn't matter. It was built on April 8th, and comes with the standard kernel (no NAT filter or any of the new commits.)
The only difference between mine and the eyeballers (not counting any cherry-picking he may be doing) is that I compiled in a port of PDroid. There are some changes to some system apps, but I don't think that would matter.
Basically, anyone running a straight flash of eyeballer's April 8 build should have the same ability to run the videos with the HQ button on or off. I will not swear they are true HQ videos, I don't know that for certain. But the videos run either way.
EDIT: Let me know if anyone else has this working. I don't know much about YouTube or the whole HQ/HD thing and may be losing my mind.
I thought I had isolated the problem to a gapp, but now am not so sure. I will test again if no one else can get these working. I have uninstalled and reinstalled a bunch of stuff, and don't want to keep doing it if everyone can see HQ with the above setup.
Maybe everyone can in any setup and only the few people on this thread haven't realized it yet. idk.

Ah I see you are using a CM9 build. There might be something to that. I'm on CM7.2 . Maybe in CM9 it got fixed somehow.
I thought it was working in cm7 as well. Maybe it was just a modded app though, which is no better than an older apk.
Well, unless someone with cm9 tells me it's unique, I will just assume everyone has it working. They probably do, I have never looked at it before I saw this thread the other day.

My experience has been that HQ sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. I believe it is due to the actual quality of the video being played. For non-HD videos the HQ is lit up and the movie loads and plays fine. For HD videos that are actually HD you get the error message and have to uncheck HQ to get the video to play.
I have had this experience in several different configurations:
eyeballer's opengl builds, original kernel
eyeballer's opengl builds, updated kernel
eyeballer's opengl 4.9, updated kernel take 2 (current setup)
I would like to know if others have the same experience with "HQ" working for what seem to be non-HD videos and not working when the video actually appears to be HD.

Hi,
I have a problem. Some kind of videos from internet just dont play. Some play like 1 sec and then stops. Other kind of videos just play well. This happens in facebook browser, chrome and also one cinema app that i have installed. Tried to install firefox and the videos play well.
This happens in an xperia z3c D5803 lollipop 23.1.A.1.28 with xpoded.
Can anyone help me figure out whats the problem and how to fix it. It's a little bit anoying to wait to get in the pc to see some videos.
PS: Already tried to disable all xposed modules and the problem still there.

See if it helps to disable "Use NuPlayer (exp.)" in developer options, I noticed it's enabled by default in Lollipop but since it's experimental, maybe it can cause issues?
i have that option disabled. just enabled and the videos in the cinema app just are working fine. the ones in the FB browser and Chrome still stops. (i just figured that in Chrome if i ask the pc page, the videos work fine).
You could try UC Browser, in my experience it has the widest support for webvideos and the player it uses is quite advanced, too.
I know that I have alternatives. I am just trying to figure out what is the problem to try to solve it. Cause in other phones I don't face this problem

If I'm watching a video on YouTube and scroll the comments. The video literally freeze until I'm done scrolling. I uninstalled and wipe date etc. Im on chroma 12- 10 with latest franco kernal and the phone runs smooth everywhere else. What's the issue?

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 ...
I've never been able to keep ReVanced Youtube running for more than maybe a few minutes, no matter what it's doing - whether that be just browsing or playing videos. It will always crash after a while.
I can't really recall a time it's ever been stable for me, not since I've had to drop the original Vanced. Been hoping every new patch I do with Revanced Manager it would be better but nope.
Just wondering if anyone else has had a similar problem and was able to solve it?
I'm using stock and unrooted btw.
This version worked for me:
https://github.com/cuynu/ytvanced
Just install Vanced MicroG 0.2.27.231712 and version 18.21.34
