I've been using my touchpad to watch shows online through tv-links and 1 channel I only watch shows on megavideo and videozer links after I installed 3.04, whenever I would watch a show random tv channels start playing like the sound does and the video in flash turns into like scrambled tv like watching porn in the old days.. Sometimes I'd pick up news, sometimes commercials and after shows, right now there's a Xiaoxiao Chinese movie playing its been playing for 45 mins in the background and the show was only 20 mins its in Chinese with Jackie Chan I don't understand why this is happening.. Anybody else having this problem?

So I have a strange one... I was watching a movie yesterday and tried to pause it but my hand moved across the screen and I turned something on... now when I watch something, it plays for 10 seconds, than restarts (just once), until I stop it and start it up again... it goes for 10 seconds and restarts the movie.
It does this with every movie player app I try (mobo, mx, etc) so it's as if it's a system setting (since all the movie apps are picking it up).
I'm running Gingerbread 2.3.6 (CriskeloRom v.38 to be exact)...
Already tried clearing the media settings (in the various media players) but this did not help. Anyone have any thoughts what I turned on and how to turn it off????
I was watching the Daily Show online tonight with my new Sony S, and about five minutes into it the screen went black ... I got the image back only now the video wouldn't play ...
Uhh .... Is this supposed to happen? I've never seen this before. Afterwards I set the screen time out to 30 minutes, but I don't really want the screen to go black thirty minutes into watching a movie either ...
That's definitely not meant to be the case. What are you using to watch that video? Most video playback plugins and apps for Android include at least an option to keep the screen awake during playback.
When streaming video from youtube, or other sites and I hit pause during that stream, the entire loading of the stream will stop. Whatever is buffered will play but the stream will not resume loading from that point forward.
Example: Say I'm streaming a cartoon from the web and the clip is 5min long. About 2min into the clip I have to pause it because the phone rings. When I come back it will only play another 30 seconds and then stop (the stream which was already buffered plays). The player will just show the little symbol for loading/buffering but the wifi transfer icon on the tablet is doing nothing. I will have to reload the page and the video from the beginning.
The same can happen if I try moving around the clip. If I wanted to jump 30 seconds into the clip or backward in time it can trigger the player to stop loading. It will also happen if I open another app and return to the browser; like reading a new email. If I'm using netflix to stream I don't run into this problem. I assume its because of their programing in the app etc.
Is this a limitation to streaming video on mobile devices when it doesn't complete the buffering if interrupted? A computer will just continue to buffer it into memory for playback but are mobile devices set up to stop that loading so that memory is kept free? I know our primes have browser issues with freezing and rebooting but I don't know if this is part of the browser issues the broader prime community is experiencing.
I am on stock os, I use boat browser and the stock browser, and tried the suggested remove all browsers, uninstall flash, and reinstall trick. My phone has always been bad at streaming video so I can't really compare that with my tablet.
I've searched Google and this forum, and cannot find an app or program that will allow me to play YouTube videos in the background.
It's annoying because I use GoSMS Pro, with the pop up picture option (the the contact photo pops up in the corner), and when I open the application,the video stops. Not a big deal. Until I'm done with the text, and hit play again, then it has to re-load the whole video, and 50% of the time, I lose my video progress, which is annoying when watching DOTA 2 videos (usually between 30 and 60 minutes long). again, not a massive deal when I'm at home where I havegreat internet. But normally I watch these videos outside of my house, and the internet is much slower, meaning it takes forever to load.
Any ideas?
Apparently YouTube has a feature that was recently discovered that will let you play videos in the background but it is not enabled yet. Until then PVSTAR+ available in the Play store and let's you listen to your YouTube playlist in the background.

Hi guys,
How can I prevent the freeze I get after about 30m-1h? I've searched all over the web for an answer but to no avail. I use bubbleupnp to stream TV channels (m3u or m3u8) to chromecast with my samsung s8, and the streams almost always freeze, it kinda pauses (still pic, no sound) and I have to go back to my tv app and press play again for it to start again in real time.
I tried everything, tried changing various settings but they always freeze after about 1h or sometimes less. Sound and video start to either play out of sync or stutter sometimes and after 1 minute or so, everything just pauses and the stream is kinda dead. Sometimes the freeze just happens without any signs or warnings. Not all channels behave like this, but almost all do. I tried using vlc and they work fine. So it is 100% something with Bubbleupnp. I tried using a server, same thing. I did buy the license and made a battery rule for it so it's not that.
PLEASE HELP! Feels like i paid for something that doesn't work at all!

Can anybody respond lol?!
