When I try to watch an embedded YouTube video on any website in my browser it acts like it is going to play then it just stops. There will be just the short red progress bar but it never caches or plays. It worked fine up to a couple weeks ago, I've been on ICS the whole time. Vimeo and most other players seem to work fine in browser. Any ideas on a fix?

Restore the default settings of your browser or reinstall your browser. Does your YouTube app work ok? Does your stock browser work ok?
If none of this helps I guess you could restore a nandroid backup or do a factory reset (hopefully you have TB).

Same issue, but it only breaks on the main IMDB Movies page when you click the movie icon to watch the trailer (small blue 'play' icon shows up).
If I go to descriptions of the movies, or some other page like that that gets me to the 'Watch Trailer' link, the video doesn't break...weird?
At least it's a workaround for me...
I have been running gTabComb for a month now and love it...however I have been experiencing difficulties with video playback. Regular websites, using Opera, work fine with playing flash video.
However, with an app called, Crunchroll for Anime videos, along with various flv and mp4 files on qq player, the videos appear "magnified." They play as if on a large screen and only a portion of the top of the video appears. Since flashing gTabComb, Crunchroll worked without problem, then started acting in this manner with no changes to the system.
I have uninstalled/re-installed the software to no avail. I am trying to figure out if there is a way to change any settings with this to get these videos to play correctly--without having to go back to vegantab.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

I'm a Crunchyroll user, there is a work around to get it to demagnify. What you do is start the video you want to look at, while it is playing, press the home button (either the physical button on the side or the one on the screen). Then on the screen press the button that shows you all the programs that are open (They will show as small thumbnails of the running programs). Press the thumbnail of Crunchyroll. It will restart the video but this time it will fit to the screen.
I don't now how I figured this out, but it works. And if you are watching a lot of back to back videos on CR, usually you can watch whatever is next without having to do this. But sometimes that's not always the case.
I haven't tried this on other videos that do this but, if it works on one, I don't see why it couldn't work that way with others.
Greetings from Portugal.
Before I start, yes, I have tried searching for it. Found a couple of old threads that didn't help much...
My question is: Is there a way to watch any video format without it stopping every few minutes?
If I use the stock player everything is fine, but it cannot support several video formats like avi, rmvb... etc. I use the MX player, but on some types of video, it stopps every few minutes. It's sooooo annoying!
From what i've seen in some threads, it happens with other video apps too. AND, when i am watching something directly from the internet, like fastpasstv, the video stops loading also every few minutes. I have to restart the loading from the middle... not hard, but also annoying. (using stock browser, and this doesn't happen on youtube for example)
Is the issue related? Since it seems to be happening to both online and offline video viewing...
I am stock, non-rooted, and non-unlocked... Wifi is fine.
I have the same problem. But it is a MX Player specific one for me. BS Player works fine (but has other issues).
Edit: I tried with the 'Performance Mode' and it works so far. Maybe a workaround?
I never have this problem when streaming one of many video formats from my PC to my Prime using ES File Manager to find the video files on my PC and MX to play them as streams.
Is this something that you tend to experience with streams/videos being played directly on the Prime?
For me it is locally played .ts videos.
Meanwhile I found this thread http://groups.google.com/group/mx-videoplayer/browse_thread/thread/533d7296c0305183
It might be a Prime/ICS problem. There seems to be no solution up to now.
I get this same issue trying to stream video from sites other than youtube. It is when I'm streaming that I get most of the lock ups with the prime, reboots, etc. Maybe it is something to do with the allotted cache size of the browser being used up and cleared to make room for more buffered video?
It is rather annoying. You basically have to let it load and watch the whole thing as it goes. If I hit pause or so anything else then it risks stopping the stream where ever its at in the buffering. It's nice to have it start loading up, hitting pause, and walking away for a few minutes to let it buffer up. But then when I come back it would have just stopped about a 1/3 into it or 1/2 way. It would require hitting the reload button at the top or having to close the browser, kill it in the task manager, and then reopen it.
I don't have this issue with Netflix though. They did something right in their app.
I used to have this issue with mx player. It really sucked having to restart a movie every 5-10 minutes.
You want to use Dice Player. It's played everything I've thrown at it. All in Hardware rendering so the screen goes blank when plugged into HDMI.
Haven't had any issues since. I'm using the paid version, I assume they are both alright though.
Okay...I thought I was fairly experienced but this has me stumped
When I try playing from the Samsung Media Hub, all I get is blank video but I get all the audio and subtitles.
If I hit the back button, I see the last video frame before the video player closes.
Tried JoeVLC as well as MX Player and I get the same behavior.
Avengers used to play fine just a few weeks ago.
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the video players.
I tried uninstalling any apps I installed over the past few weeks as well.
I Google'd for everything I could think of and only found one facebook Page that sounded vaguely like this problem but MX Player solved it for them.
Anyone else see this? Or better yet, fix it?
PS. Forgot to mention I tried rebooting the phone without luck.
Youtube and Flash in Web pages work fine.
This is also a stock ROM.
Hey everyone,
I've noticed suddenly that I have no sound on any clip playing from a youtube embed. Am I the only one? Thought everything was fine yesterday... Sound settings look ok and Vimeo embeds are working properly. I was checking out this page: http://www.vandijkmultimedia.nl/nieuws-blog/
I've restarted the tab, browser, phone etc. What should I do!
thnx!
You dont have sound in Chrome YouTube or Youtube apk?

I meant neither of those. The Youtube app (apk) works fine, forgot to check the webversion though. The site I mentioned has embedded videos, when played a mobile player starts and the movie plays without any sound. I have eventually removed chrome and re-installed. This has done the trick.
thnx!
