Problem with video playback - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I am running my SII on 4.0.1 and I am very frustrated with its performance on video recording and playback (the problem existed on the 2.3 OS version too).
Bascally if I try to watch a clip on YouTube (does not matter if I am on wifi on 3G) the movie will start showing nicely but very quickly the sound will continue to run smoothly but the image will freeze and then will jump back to sync with the audio and then freeze again etc. - so you can't see a nice smooth playback. It does not matter if the video is fuly downloaded.
If I record a movie using the camera - I will get a choppy video with freezes. This is really frustrating and I wonder if other have experience the same problem and more importantly if there is a solution for this annoyng problem.
Thanks in advance,
Itay

[Q] RUNNING UnNamed Rom v1.3.0 on i777-Video playback Problem

I'm currently running my phone SGH i777 on Unnamed rom v1.3.0, i'm experiencing some problems on video playback on my current rom. The video stutters while playing less than even a second but happens quiet constantly on the phone. I wanted to know is the problem with the hardware of the phone or does the problem exist on this rom.?

No problems here - but it depends on the video. Video that uses certain features that are part of H.264 High Profile can do weird things.
I am on UnNamed 1.3.1 and hadn't tried video playback since I installed so I pulled up Mobo player and tried some movies on my SD card. Movies with dolby digital and two channel AAC would sometimes close as soon as they started although they would play after I tried a few times. Video without dolby digital seemed to play first time. I looked at the Mobo options and turned on "soft decoding". I haven't got a close since then. Video playback is very smooth (32GB class 10 uSD card). My videos were encoded in Handbrake as H.264 using the AppleTV2 setting. I only use AAC for movies that don't have much of a soundtrack.
These were videos .mp4 that i downloaded using tubemate and played them on my phone..In software decoding mode the're working fine in HW dec mode stutter while playing, so does that mean that the default video player on this rom is unable to play back these videos with the support of the hardware..?

[Q] 1080p flash videos on ARHD ICS

Hi guys,
I am currently using Android Revolution HD 6.5.1 XE on my Sensation and I have several major problems:
1. I realize that 1080p mkv videos that my phone can play smoothly on Gingerbread (including Youtube HD 1080p) now become laggy. Even with SD videos (fully HW accelerated), sometimes the playback is choppy as well (I use MX player and Dice player). Can anyone help me confirm whether you have the same problems? I believe ARHD ICS does not have GPU overclocked as on Gingerbread, hence the choppy video playback.
2. On random occasions, I cannot get any sound on any applications, but notification sounds and stock music player are working normally. I can still listen to music through the stock player but cannot get any sound for videos. Everything will return to normal when I restart the phone.
3. Wifi randomly turns on by itself. The last time I check, this problem seems to be unsolved, but I may be wrong.
Any kind souls willing to give me some directions to solve the above problems? ARHD Gingerbread ROM does not have any of the problems above, but I don't want to go back to Gingerbread.

[Q] Short Audio Cut-Off After Startup Of Playback In Recorded Videos

I have read about audio/video out of sync, but this issue that I am having since I have bought the device is audio cut-off in recorded videos for a couple of seconds. The video starts playing but audio track seems to be missing for a couple of seconds and then plays back. I have tried playing recorded videos on laptop, uploading to YouTube but issue remained. Though this is cut-off, YouTube reports video may be having audio/video sync issues.

[Q] Video Lags and Audio Waits for Video to Come.

Video Lags and Audio Waits for Video to Come.
Hi friends, my phone is L5 II (LG-E455), when I play videos on my phone, some of those videos (I think high resolution videos) play in a weird manner.
It happens that video lags behind, but audio runs good. And thus to match both things, audio stops for video to came ahead.
As a result, it happens that I first hear the voice and then see the lips moving( that too very slowly and laggy) :crying:
This has started just recently. If anybody knows how to fix it, PLEASE HELP. I have rooted my device so that I can solve the problem.
Thanks in anticipation

First thing to do is backup your data and HARD-RESET (this will wipe all your data) Caution.
I did it once but no luck.

One thing I forgot to mention:
I play videos through MX PLAYER. I also tried other video players but same thing happened.
And the stock player does not support high resolution videos.

VIdeo/ audio playback pauses for no reason

Hi xda!
I have a weird question that i haven't been able to find the answer for so I thought I'd ask here. I have a Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge, SM-925V, android version 5.0.2, rooted with stock rom. I have had this phone for at least 2 months and this problem just started happening:
My phone randomly pauses video and audio for no reason. For example I was watching Netflix last night in bed with nothing touching the screen. The phone's just sitting there and pauses playback. This is not a streaming issue,
This is what I've figured out so far:
1) I didn't touch the edges to accidently pause playback. The phone was just sitting there with nothing around its edges. Also, since it pauses audio playback while the screen is off, it can't be that
2) It's not a streaming issue, since it also has the same effect with locally stored videos and audio, like MX Player, and it also pauses audio playback on Mort Audio Book Player and Play Music when the screen is off.
3) The only apps I recently installed were Reddit and Imgur apps, can't see how they'd cause a conflict. I have also not updated my phone after which it would have started causing these errors.
Does anyone have any ideas?

You could perform a bug report and a log cat. Both of those could give you clues as to what could be going on. Just make sure you don't share the bug report.
