Youtube/reboots/freeze issues - Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
since the latest update 5.1.1 LMY48M I noticed that I have a really annoying issue when watching YT videos. It's like this:
I start the video. normally it would start with a full hd resolution, means 1080p but it doesnt. Instead it lokks like 144p (or what is the smallest resolution?). Thios goes for 10 seconds then the system freezes and reboots.
I try to start the video again. Same thing all over again. again the reboot. The third time it works fine.
The tablet is rooted, Xposed with some modules like YT background, addisabler,..
Always worked fine with the previous update.
Someone noticed something like that?

Same thing here. It has smth to do with 1080p. Every other resolutiion does not cause fc's

This has been happening to me more frequently recently. Really annoying. I'm just rooted on the stock OS. Don't think this anything to do with it though.

Same issue here. It also freezes and shutdown when you try to change the resolution up to 1080p or whatever is max. Only in the YouTube app. No issues with Netflix or browser video. Or ever the YouTube website

Yes tablet freezes, makes a buzzing sound then shuts down and restarts. I think there was a YouTube update recently.

So it was not just me after all. I use a Nexus 10, 5.1.1, stock unrooted. It mostly won't happen, but I know exactly when the crash is coming: the YouTube video starts playing at an apparent 144p, and some 10 or 15 seconds later the video freezes, the last sound sample keeps repeating creeply, and Android crashes and reboot. If this problem isn't limited to my Nexus 10, then it's the YouTube app's fault?

Uninstalled YouTube then installed older version, will report back if that helps.

I just did this and can confirm that it will stop that problem. It took me several roms both lollipop and KitKat to figure it out but I final decided that it was a YouTube issue, as stated in previous post, and downloaded an older version. It is working great now.
"Chance Favors the Prepared"

I can also confirm that rolling back to a previous version fixes the problem

Trying newest version of YouTube http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...43-58-android-4-0-3-5-1-android-apk-download/
Only used it a short time but no problem yet. This version was uploaded 10/31.

That version seemed to work then a newer version came out, figured that would be the one so I installed it. Froze up again so I'm back on version 10.21.57, frustrating.

After putting an older version started having problems with sound sync so went to latest version from play store and turned back on awesome player from developer options and so far everything is fine

Same problem. Nexus 10. Latest firmware, latest version of youtube.

Haven't had the problem since two weeks. And I always have the latest version from Play Store installed. Maybe it was a bug in the last versions.

Ok it used to happen once in a blue moon now it's happening all the time! It reboots, try to watch another video then it reboots again....

Same problem
Have the same problem, latest firmware and latest YouTube app uppdate :\

It's definitely the YouTube app because no other streaming app does this and not even YouTube through the browser.

Same here since some weeks.
Nexus 10 stock and unrooted, 5.1.1 LMY48X. Youtube 10.43.60
Google Play Services v8.4.89 (2428711-236) and Play Store v6.0.0
I can read videos for 10 to 15 secs until tablet freezes with sound, then turn off and reboot.
Then I go to Settings -> Apps -> Youtube, I clear cache (always about 267 Mb) and erase data. And then I can watch about 5-8 videos before it crashes again.
Edit : found 10.47.54 on apkmirror, I'll try it and be back here.

Same crash with 10.47.54 and always at the same frame in the video. Seems incredible :/
I'll try to downgrade Youtube.
---------- Post added at 12:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:44 AM ----------
Downgraded to 10.21.57 and... it works.
No more crashes at that same video frame.
Hope this will be OK for others videos... and that Google will solve that bug.

This issue made me get off my butt and put CM12.1 on it.
Will try the downgrade and report back
Has anyone got 1440p working? The freeze and no audio thing hurts when it has such a good screen.

Same problem. Stock N10, unrooted, latest updates and get the crash.

YouTube crashing phone

I'm on the gs4, t-mobile. Slim Kat 2.5 rc1
After some update on the slim Kat release I've begun having problems with YouTube. After watching for a bit the video seems to hang often, and then it hangs for more than 20 seconds at a time. I thought it was just the app but after clearing all data from the app, using minimal gapps, original google gapps, pa gapps, YouTube crashes this ROM. I tried replicating the problem with other roms but they ask seem to be stable with YouTube.
What YouTube does before it crashes the phone is it usually hangs, the screen goes black and after a split second white boxes appear, then the phone crashes and restarts.
This bug report is just made after it began to hang a lot.I'll be trying to get the phone to crash again and i will post that when it happens.
Thank you!
Just updated the report, this one is right after crashing.

Video problems in kit kat

I have the v500 since christmas and i had no problem until i updated to kit kat. Before that, i watched my videos on bsplayer (its quite easy for using subtitles) or VLC, but now they both dont work well. Bsplayer is like slow, i mean, every 2 seconds the image stops for an instant and then continues, sound works without problem. In VLC it's the sound that stops working once every five minutes more or less, and for a few seconds. Sometimes, it also happens with some games. I alredy tried to restore the device and reinstalling the apps. Also deleting data files and cache of both apps.
Anyone having this problem and a solution??

Although I like BSPlayer and it works fine for me, I should point out that the default video player by LG works very well, reads subtitles just fine, and many codecs.
Did you clear app data or did you try uninstalling the apps and do a fresh install after the upgrade? I don't use either of those apps but i did have a problem after the upgrade with a couple of apps behaving badly until i cleared the app data and one required a reinstall.
doh, can you tell I was watching hockey when i wrote this? It looks like you already tried my suggestions...

I have problem with videos also.
I has started after changing soft to new soft 4.4.2.
While playing video (.mkv or .mp4), in defeault player or in MX Player, every few minutes, the picture is freezing for few seconds (audio is playing normally).
I have tried with different movies, always the same.
Before Android update everything was allright.

The same is happening to me as well. I'm considering following the thread in XDA about downgrading to original 4.2.2, but I'm worried about bricking the G Pad. It's the last option; i have tried with several different players, and after a factory reset to no avail.
It's a mess from LG, I can't understand how this could go under the radar during their testing phase.
Anyone has info about future updates?
this actually happens to me using the stock video player on kit kat. I been using mx player since then with no issues..
Hi,
I have exactly the same issue with videos on 4.4.2 whatever video player I am using. I updated my tablet as soon as I bought it, so I can not compare to 4.2.
I switched to the ART runtime (you need to enable Developer options to do so) a week ago and since then, video playing is smooth again.

Shield TV Pro Video Streaming Problems and other Issues

I have the 2017 Shield TV Pro on 6.1 rooted. When the box works it works well, but this is the second time it has developed random buffering issues on Netflix Prime Video and sideloaded streaming apps. Along with the buffering issues apps are randomly stopping with a message like Leanback Launcher has stopped or Archos Player has stopped etc. It does it with native apps and sideloaded apps. It did this a few times before and I updated to 6.0 and it seemed to stop. Now its back doing the same thing. I haven't changed anything or installed new apps. I don't use Plex so I have the server and client disabled. I don't have ES File Explorer installed because I heard it causes problems on Shield. I think the buffering issues happen as a result of what ever is causing apps to crash but I have no idea whats causing either one. What drives me crazy is it just randomly happens. It will be working fine then will just begin to crash apps or buffer when streaming movies. I know this is more of a rant than a question, but this is a $300 device that has problems my Fire TV 2 never has. I don't know where to begin to trouble shoot these problems, so if anyone has experienced anything similar please comment and maybe say what you did to fix it.

Nexus 4 can't play video, can't record video and can't play mp3s

Just got this phone from a coworker, factory reset to Android 5.
I tried to take a video with the stock camera app but when I press the video button, nothing happens.
I loaded some music on the phone from my computer and everytime I click play on Poweramp, the scrollbar goes nuts. On google music it tells me the requested song could not be played. When I try to play videos on youtube chrome, chrome crashes.
When I try to play a 3d game (I downloaded this: https://apkpure.com/city-racing-3d/com.racergame.cityracing3d ) the app does not even start.
I tried updating the webview app as recommended here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/general/nexus-4-video-playback-issue-android-5-t3177415
But this did not help.
Is there a misconfiguration with the stock rom? Or maybe the GPU in the phone is completely fried and the CPU is the only thing running? I tried an Antutu test which ran just fine. I can post results if that helps.
I am considering installing Lineage OS on it and seeing if that makes the trick. But I want to be sure that this is a software issue before I spend all that time on a phone that might not work.
Thank
UPDATE:
The phone randomly restarts at times so I'm suspecting that the motherboard is to blame. I opened it however and nothing suspect was found.
Installed latest version of lineage os (15.1) and got youtube playback, audio playback. There's just no audio from the speakers or headphone jack but connects to bluetooth just fine. When attempting to take a video with the camera application, the camera app just crashes and says that it can't communicate with the camera.
Am I right in assuming its the mobo?

Flash a different ROM (I suggest Nitrogen OS) and see if the problem persists, that'll give you a better idea.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Labs
Thanks @Akhilesh S V!
I flashed nitrogen OS and original problem persists: I cannot take any videos as the stock camera app crashes when trying.
Otherwise, phone reacts pretty normally and can play video, play music and whatnot. What must I do to fix the camera app? This was a clean flash onto Nitrogen OS.

Camera is a problem in new Android versions. Did u flash stock lollipop rom or just factory reset the phone. Maybe some binaries got messed up. Intead of factory reset, try flashing the stock lollipop rom from google, deleting everything so better backup stuff. That rom had the most stable version of camera for mako. If the problem persists there then there's no hope on any other rom. As for hardware checks there are a lot of apps so u can do that.

Force close without notice when playing a video

Hi, so mine is MaxPro M1 3/32 variant. Few weeks ago i flashed DerpCaf ROM with Pico gapps. Everything went great, i have no issue. I decide to install Youtube Vanced via Magisk and it's been working flawlessly. Until recently, it started to force closing without any reason. It doesn't have any notice like "Youtube has stopped working" or something like that. The video just freeze for a few second, and the screen goes full black then i'm back my home screen. I tried re-installing it but no luck. The weird part is, now it's also happening when i'm playing video with other app like MX Player or my browser like when i'm playing a video on facebook. (i'm using Mint browser btw).
I have the log when the force close happen in Youtube Vanced if it make any help to identify my problem.
Exactly same problem persists in my phone running on Havoc OS. Yet to find what is causing it.
try non-root method of vanced youtube
