Does anyone else get this issue using Veetle? I'm on CM7. This only happens on some of the channels and the sound works perfectly. Is there a fix for this?
Yep, but only on a channel-by-channel basis. The "Walking Dead" channel and some "Action Movie" channels work, but most don't.
Interesting app, though, this is the first time I've played with it.

As mentioned in the title, youtube HD videos seems to buffer a lot. I have a pretty good internet connection, constantly get around 10 - 12Mbps download speed. I don't have buffering problems on my laptop or my phone.
Anyone else see this and any setting that might help? Currently I'm turning off HD on videos to prevent buffering but ideally don't want to do that.

now I really dont have that problem due to my difference in internet speed but when I use my 4g from my thunderbolt *around that speed* I do notice the buffering problem only if there are more than one person using the connection at once. just for research, try and see what happens if only you are using the connection (turn off or disable other tech) and see if it actually makes a difference
I have to concur, youtube on Android tablets is a bit subpar. It never buffered this much on my iPad.
I get the same problem here, my pc and my phone load quickly while my GT seems to buffer very often while watching HD.

This is a little weird cuz in my house it backwards, my galaxy tab play YouTube flawlessly but my ipad which pretty much belongs to my 3 year old son, seems to buffer often.
SGT 10.1 uplink initiative
Thought it was just me. Mine buffers a lot using the youtube app.
At times it will freeze during playback. I have to uncheck the HD for it to eventually start playing again.
I haven't noticed it as much if I play it through the browser.

The question is does this reveal yet another weakness in tegra 2 or is this a coding issue with the app??
So many videos either buffer go choppy or fc.
Gears of war 3 ashes to ashes trailer by machinima fc every time.
Im almost certain that it is a coding issue. As it was said above, i only notice the buffer problem in the youtube app, it works fine in the browser.

Ok thanks.....i will try using the browser and see if it is better.

it happens using any browser as well. i remember reading about this issue on the ipad too and people had some mixed results by changing DNS settings but i think it was more of a placebo effect. it's definitely a problem with this tablet though.
for me, it's just the YouTube app.. viewing on browser is fine, so it's a coding issue with the app. I suggest using the Feedback option under the app menu to report this issue. Google needs to hear from us about this.
watching it in the browser introduces a different issue, however - everything above 480 is out of sync.
Same here. Seems tobe a problem with the YouTube app. Smooth streaming HD when opened in stock browser but some buffering in app. My browser had no problems with 480 either. Hope google fixes and updates youtube app soon.
In the Youtube app it's either HD playback or grainy. There does not seem to be anything in between.

same here!!
It buffers a lot! I have to wait for 5mins+ for a 3mins video.
Anyone had success with muktitasking youtube app and other app?? I dont actually mind if youtube app could be left behind, but everytime i left it to another app. All the buffer's gone and video buffer was resetted to zero!
Same here...
I've got the same issue, but it only happens sometimes. I've noticed this happens more often when I pause a video, rewind, or when I'm watching a particularly long video (50 min or so). I doubt it's a problem with my network because my PC can stream the video just fine.
Same here, very annoying!
Does anyone else have a problem with getting a quality picture for HBO Go. My Wi-fi is fine, and no matter how long I let it buffer it always looks like crap. It doesn't do it on my Nexus 7.
Just wondering if anyone is having the same experience and if they know how to fix it.
I tried reinstalling, clearing app data, and all of that. It almost seems to be a hardware problem, but I don't have any problems with any other streaming app...
Check out the screen shot below to see what I'm talking about.
Hello, recently (like android 4.2) youtube has decided to stop buffering videos whenever it feels like it, which means the video just hangs when it gets there with the little buffer wheel spinning. Sometimes it will continue to load the video after it stops, but most of the time it just locks up the whole app and you have to force close it and re-launch it. I have tried clearing app cache and data and what not, but nothing has helped. I even tried turning off wifi optimization, but that didn't help either. I thought that maybe it was my ISP, but the same videos in the browser play just fine with no buffering at all. It seems to do this regardless of the length of the video. I get about 30mbps down and 5.5up when I run speedtest on my tablet, so I don't think it's the connection that's causing the issue. I should also mention that this happens regardless of quality. It will load relatively quickly to a certain point, then just never buffer again. I fear the only way to resolve this issue will be a factory reset.
This Reddit thread solved my YouTube issues. I have fios, fyi.

Edit: oops this apparently.might be a problem with the new YouTube app.

I get this! All started when I upgraded to android 4.3! Its highly annoying, and the only way. I have found to fix it is to kill the YouTube app, find the video and place you where at, and then go from there
I also had this issue before the YouTube app was recently updated

I'm having the exact same issue! I might get it to play one video and the it buffers constantly. Anybody else have this issue? I'm running stock 4.3 uprooted. YouTube works fine on my s4 and laptop, but hangs on the Nexus 10!

Happens on my moto x too.

Can also confirm on Nexus 10.

My devices:
Nexus 10 - Stock Rooted
Nook Tablet - CM10.1
Same problem here.
You don't have to force close youtube by the way, simply pressing the home button and going back to youtube afterwards does the job for me as well.
I hope they will fix that issue soon
This sucks so bad! I just got this awesome nexus 10 and I literally cat go 5 seconds without buffer. Do I have a bad unit? How do I fix this? I can surf the web just fine so it isn't my wifi to the nexus 10.

Try an app called "Viral' from the playstore. I started using it as it can play YouTube music videos in the background while I'm using some other app. Recently I've been having issues with the default YouTube app and discovered that Viral did not have those issues. It may be worth giving it a try. I'm using a 4.4 custom ROM linked in my signature so your mileage may vary.
The issue I'm having is YouTube stops half way through a video and simply will not continue playing that video from the stop point, even after a reboot. I can play another video but it too stops half way or so in.
The YouTube app isn't NEARLY as good as it should, I'm still enraged and disgusted about the fact that the YouTube app on iPad is so MUCH better than the Android one, it has gestures to let you toggle full screen , it has pull down to refresh on lists (like the pull down to refresh on the gmail app), if you exit the app and come back, the video you were playing doesn't have to be rebuffered again (it keeps a few seconds buffered so you can watch the video quickly) AND worst of all, the iOS app lets YOU choose the resolution of your stream, what you get isn't an HD "on" and "off" toggle, you get proper choosing, like on the website, you get to choose between 240p, 360p, 480p, 720p AND 1080p, HD on our app is 720p, not 1080p, actually Google disabled the option from all android apps.
After that update I lost a lot of faith in Google, no wonder the iPad has so many more high quality apps, if you want devs to take you seriously, then YOU should give proper support to your devices, 1080p streams should have been available ever since our N10 was released, this **** is just unacceptable.
Thanks @3DSammy for the tip about the Viral app. :highfive:
Well, I figured out the issue, but not a fix. I think it's tied to comcast's router. I set up an old linksys with a broadcomm wireless unit as a repeater and I haven't had a single issue since. Numerous router resets and devices restores did nothing. It doesn't make any sense though because it only happens with the YouTube app, but same settings and everything I was able to watch a video completely on my nexus 10 on the repeater that I could not get through on comcast's router/modem(Aaris unit). It's strange though because my repeater connects wirelessly to my comcast router, so it goes nexus 10 to linksys repeater to comcast's router. It could be a security issue I guess, but I didn't look into it.
All, I updated to OS5 a couple of weeks ago and since then I noticed that a few streaming apps seem to not function. I originally noticed the Showtime Anytime app wouldn't stream properly. The audio would play fine but the video would freeze and skip around. I don't use this app often so I figured maybe an app update would come later. Well, yesterday I tried to use WatchESPN and it was doing the same. It is a little different though as I can reboot the device and if I start WatchESPN right away I can watch something, but if I close the app and come back into it, it again does the freezing. Additionally, last night I tried to watch the GOP debate on the Fox News app and it did the same thing as the Showtime app. I did a factory reset to see if maybe something got hosed, but upon reinstalling the apps, I get the same response from the video. Again, the audio is fine. Normally I would think that the App is causing the issue but with multiple apps it looks like maybe a video rendering issue with the OS5? Can someone else test these apps and let me know what you are seeing? All of these apps worked fine before doing the upgrade. Hulu, Netflix, TWC and other apps work fine. Thanks.
Hi,
When trying to view videos on the Prime Video app, it appears to play normally ie sound plays, progress bar advances - there's just no video!
This happens with each show I've tried, whether streaming or from download, and regardless of download quality I choose.
I tried clearing cache, then uninstalling / reinstalling, with no luck.
Anyone have any suggestions? Very frustrating!
Best,
I just checked the Jack Ryan series and it worked fine. Checking your wifi would be the only thing I could suggest. When I had slow wifi I would get the audio, but the screen would be black. Sometimes it takes Amazon a little while to get something going.
Do you have anything checked in Dev Options (like 'Disable HW Overlays')?
Thanks both.
Defo not my WiFi - I even get the little preview when I use the seek bar, just nothing showing in the main viewing window.
No dev options activated, and everything else "stock" also.
Seems like I'm the only one having the issue after a few Google searches, so I'm at a loss!
So..... I was on the phone to Amazon support and was playing with my settings....
I use a "corner round" app to make the tablet screen more visually appealing - as soon as I disable it, Prime Video works!
So, if you have anything that creates a screen overlay, try disabling it and using Netflix / Prime video. Give it a try!
Best,
Same issue here with an app called "Rounded Corner". I had been wondering for ages until I found this thread. Thanks!
