Video Playback Issues

Videos played by my nexus have an odd choppy feel. Every five seconds or so, the player pauses for a very noticeable moment, then continues. Is anyone else experiencing this?

No problems regarding smoothness.
The only problem I have is that nothing seems to have audio (using mxPlayer)

Now I seem to have problems with games. Is this a hardware issue or OS related?

No. My nexus runs very well. Are you on 4.1.1

Yes.
Is it a background app causing it? I read about a few phones having this issue in the past.

I'm on 4.1.1, not rooted and I've noticed the same problem. When playing a video or certain games every 5 seconds or so there is a slight pause. I've tried different video players and still the same issue.

Having the same issues but it seems to happen more with games especially tegra 3 games like a riptide. the funny thing is is I swear I remember playing riptide and It had no lag. I can't remember whether it was prior to the 4.11 update.
Same here! I tried watching the Transformer movie we got for free and it kept freezing up! This is irritating, I'm going to try a factory reset. I'm exchanging this thing any way cause the headphone jack is defective.
From my long awaited and totally worth it EVO LTE!
Same issue here after upgrading to 4.1.1. Anyone here having this issue on a custom ROM? If not then I'm flashing a ROM ASAP.

Try other video players (MX Player, BSPlayer)
Was this apparent before 4.1.1? I just got my 7 yesterday and updated right away and do notice the stutter w/ my high profile 720p vids. On my Prime stuttering was fixed with over clocking and running an interactive governer.
Edit: this is for 720p high profile movies stored on the device, happening w/ dice player and MX player. Don't use stock since it doesn't support ac3 audio.
stock n7 with latest ota updates, unlocked and rooted. No problem playing any game and video, either stream from play store (transformer movie) or stream my my home network.

It doesn't matter if it's on the device or not, it happens when I stream the transformer movie and/or any YouTube video. I'm about to return this back to Google if I don't find a solution soon. Going to try a data factory reset and see if that helps.

Yeah looks like its happening for me on YouTube as well.
I just put a video on my device from my PC and it played fine. But if I stream anything it plays like crap
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
Did some more testing. Tried the stock player and no stutter but no sound due to no ac3 support. I have another 7 coming in on Monday and will test that one leaving it as is (before 4.1.1 update)
I just got off the phone with Google and they said it's probably a issue with my router streaming media on the device. I'm going to test another WiFi connection sometime soon and see if the issue persist or not.

I'm having problems with this, I can't watch a single video on this device without the lag. I've tried the youtube app, Netflix, dice player and a few other video apps and everyone of those lag.

Stuttering in New YouTube App?

I am getting video stutter in the new YouTube app, namely when the overlay(for pausing, rewinding etc) comes up. Even changing the volume brings up the overlay, and causes the video to stutter. For reference, I am on PA 3.96 with Trinity kernel TX3. Can anyone confirm or deny this?
EDIT: It also only seems to happen in full screen.

It also stutters on my s4...

It's also happening on my Kindle Fire, so it's not device specific. Kind of annoying.....

I confirm that's a problem with the new app, firstly I thought it was a connection issue but on my One X with the old version everything goes well..waiting for a fix

Been running into this problem too, hope they fix because the new app is amazing.

I had an annoying issue where it would hang about half-way through a video and become unresponsive. I was able to narrow it down to certain stagefright and TCP/IP tweaks. Once those were eliminated I haven't had any issues. Smooth as silk.
Where are the resolution options 360/480/720/1080?
I think that hd is not supported and for sure it is not 1080p
There's a lot of issues with the new app hopefully they'll be ironed out.
Weird, my mom's note 2 youtube app is not stuttering but my s4 is.
Uninstall the update from Settings >> Apps >> Youtue >> Uninstall Updates
Should fix the issue for most people until a new update is out.
On Samsung TabS T800, youtube stutters at any resolution and framerate despite "FORCE GPU RENDERING" is enabled in the developer options, cpu usage is low, and no other app is running.
BUT
IF I call the CARDBOARD view in the YouTube options and then return to normal 2D view motion is then butter smooth up to 1440p60, for any video!
If closing youtube and restarting it, it is stuttering again.
Clearly hardware if fine (cpu, gpu and OLED is great!), but google/android/youtube is bugging !

[Q] YouTube app problem.

Since the day I bought my note 3 I noticed that the YouTube app has a slight stutter during video playback. The audio is fine and doesn't matter if I'm on wifi or data. Online videos play just fine and so do the videos I take with the phone. I have since rooted the phone and I've tried every rom available and they all do it. Anyone else having this problem?
Not here. Do you have it set to hq mode? Maybe try unchecking that.

my 2 year old rooted DROID RAZR could play anything regardless of quality. I would only think that this rocket ship of a phone should be able to do the same thing only better.
Mine works fine on hq unless I've got bad signal. I agree with you though.

When I first got my phone about a week ago, I let it do the google play updates after doing the initial phone setup. One of the updates was youtube. I was having problems with stutters on playback every few seconds on every video I watched. I went into settings-application manager and uninstalled the updates back to the original factory installed version. The stutters have now went away and all the videos have played smoothly.

[Q] 4.4.4 & youtube

Does the update to 4.4.4 fix the issue with youtube? I have a rooted N10 but have not done much else with it. I am running 4.4.3. Youtube will not work. The problem is not just my N10 but I have a Driodpro phone running 2.3 and it also will not show youtube videos.

I've been on 4.4.4 for a week now but use an alternate YouTube player call Viral and am not having issues. I actually have the pro version. In the settings there is a checkbox for HD acceleration. Not sure if that can help. I like it's interface which allows color and fonts can be themed.

I've used Purity, Rastakat, and Liquidsmooth 4.4.4 & no problems with YouTube.
Edit: Spoke too soon. Having force closes on YouTube app with Liquidsmooth ROM

Youtube scrolling lag

So my problem is that, when i play a video in the youtube app and i drag down the video into the corner and begin scrolling the list of vidoes, it begins to stutter. Now the video itself plays ok, and it seems to happen on 720p or 1080p resolution. What do you guys think? And btw I'm on stock 5.0.1. No root no nothing.

Anyone?
And i should also add that google maps also seems to stutter.

i tried lollipop, even with custom clean roms, it lags, more than kitkat, my guess is that the firmwares right now arent that good, i am using cm12 right now, and its so smooth, you have to wait for better firmwares...if they exist....
