While trying to watch YouTube it randomly stops dead. If I tap a spot on the time line the video quickly starts again. I've had this thing about 5 hours and it is seriously getting on my nerves. Add to the fact that the chrome browser isn't mirroring I'm about to smash this thing to bits. Any help!?
Netflix seems to work flawlessly.
I've tried improving network connection but that hasn't helped.
YouTube has this issue even when played from the browser on pc.

Exact same problem on my chromecast and is happening only since last evening. As you said, Netflix is flawless and its only With YouTube.
Thank god its not the device but seems like software or YouTube server support for chromecast. Hope it will get a fix pretty soon
This started happening to me last night. Youtube will freeze after about 2:20. It will start again if I skip forward or back, but only for another 2 mins. Have never had a problem before and Netflix works fine. I'm glad it's not just me.
Are either of you able to cast your tabs to your TV screen? Because I am also unable to get that to work from my pc to the Chromecast.
I had the same exact issue last night when watching YouTube. It would stop dead, and the only way it would start back, was when I tap the stopped point on the timeline as well.

Even casting the chrome browser tab had issues.... but after a while it worked... I am pretty sure even the chrome tab cast is lill messed up... Looks like the chromecast got a software upgrade which is causing these issues....
Does anyone know if there was a software upgrade yesterday?
Update:
I just exchanged the unit I had for another one but unfortunately I'm having the same issues. The unit itself force updates on startup which is a shame. It would be nice to do a revert and see if the old software functions correctly.
Youtube freezing
Same problem with me. I have two Chromecasts and Youtube stops on both of them roughly every 2.5 minutes, from both a Nexus 5 and a Nexus 7. On 14th November around noon ET they were fine, but by the evening the problems had started. My Youtube app is showing as having updated on 14th Nov (although it's not showing up in the 'Recently updated' section in the Play app). Rebooting the Chromecasts, the android devices and the network all failed to eliminate the problem.
I have the same problem!!!
Mine seems to be fixed now.
Same here, YouTube was freezing yesterday at about 2 mins into any video. Tried it again tonight with zero issues. Happy, happy, happy...

I just watched a bunch of videos tonight without any issues. I'll try tab cast tomorrow and see if it works. I'd like to know exactly what was wrong. Did Google do an auto update.?
Its seems like Youtube works for non HD videos without problem. HD videos is not playing properly (shuttering, no voice, etc). Shutters more for music videos.

I'm still having problems too, no sound and stuttering video. I have two Chromecasts and they both do it. I'm in the UK though. I'm glad it snot just me, but slightly concerned yours all seem to be working now and mine doesn't
Everything else works fine.
This stuttering on hd videos really aggravating. My 3 year old is unable to watch lungi dance, so now I actually have to be a good parent early on a Saturday morning. Damn you Google!

I just tested a few HD vids and yes there was stuttering, almost If the Chromecast couldn't buffer properly.
same issue here in germany, tested with Nexus 4, 5, 7 and chrome on Pc
From today morning YouTube app is not loading from the chrome cast. From mobile app, I am getting no network try again message.
I have a feeling that Google is going kill the device silently.

Hello everyone, i have a weird problem, everytime when im watching youtube (app) on my SP device, i get every now and then an annoying blue screen flicker which last for like 5 seconds. The weird thing is, that this problem not happens on every Video i watch, like i said above, every now and then, its like random.
Also, what i realized yesterday, after sometime my Phone freeze for like 3 seconds while watching youtube, also the sound gets weird. I dont know what causes the problems, is it, because im still using the stock youtube app version which comes with the phone, do i have to update the app in order to eleminate those problems?
What i already did: factory reset
What im using: Android 4.3 latest, not rooted and BL locked
So I have just gotten the Galaxy S6 Active on AT&T ,having upgraded from my G S4. The thing is ,when I am working outside ,or doing chores, or yardwork ,I like to listen to my favorite TV shows or movies with the phone in my pocket.I know most people listen to music,but I enjoy listening to Game of thrones,or Jackass3D or King of the Hill. It was no problem with my Galaxy S4 ,as the video player used the power key to lock the screen and it stayed locked on ,for hours of enjoyment. I have downloaded like 15 different video players for the S6 and all of them have a small lock icon on the video screen,and I lock it and put the phone in my pocket to start working ,but I always accidentally hit the side power button when i move a bit ,and it shuts the video off. It happens like every 5 minutes. Then I have to re launch player ,and start from beginning sometimes. Is this a feature of Lollypop? I was using Kit Kat on my S4. There has got to be a solution. This is making me hate this otherwise awesome phone. I cannot get any work done! Any help greatly appreciated.
Lately it seems that my stock Note 5 plays videos once out of every 5-6 tries. It struggles to play videos I recorded too. Most of the time when I try to play a YouTube video it will play the first few frames then starts to stutter then stop playing altogether. I thought it was a YouTube thing so I uninstalled it's updates, cleared data and disabled it, then re-enabled it, updated it and still had issues. I also have noticed I have the same issue with Snapchat, Facebook, TheCHIVE and other apps. I'm running stock 5.1.1. I read somewhere about going into developer settings and turning off NuPlayer and use AwesomePlayer instead. I tried that but it yielded the same result. Does anyone have any other ideas? I really don't want to wipe the phone.
Anyone? I cant seem to find the root cause of the issue :/
Hello good people,
I hope someone finds time to read this and help me to find a solution.
I was using "throw" function on the default Music player app to play on my Denon AVR since my Z3c was on KitKat, later it upgraded to Lollipop (I think then it became "cast" instead of "throw") and later it upgraded to Marshmallow - all was good, one touch and I had music playing through my audio system. I recently replaced my phone with another Z3c and was happy until tried to cast my music - it plays intermittently (2 seconds of sound followed by 2 seconds of silence and this repeats non stop). I've tried installing 3rd party apps (AirAudio) but the issue remains. Today I had a chance to hold my old Z3c and to my big surprise - it also developed the same intermittent play issue when casting! The only thing which changed on my old Z3c since I owned it was that it was reset to factory default settings.
Any ideas would be very welcome, second day googling and still no music
Thank you!

Hi,
was the version of firmware on your replacement phone the same as your old phone?
The early versions of Marshmallow had a problem with Bluetooth, specifically throw and stuttering audio.
Have you tried to update your phone with PC Companion.
How far are you willing to go to fix your problem?
I am using the latest version of MM from a developer called Wajik that has no Bletooth issues. But obviously you'd need to root your phone and add recovery to get there. I know it sonds complicated, but there are several great guides and lots of friendly folk here to help you if you get stuck.
Edit: There is a music player called Poweramp, that has the ability to change the priority of the player, it also has a buffer that you can change yourself. With both of these features tuened up you might be able to defeat the stuttering without any major regime change. It also comes as a trial as well.
