Video Playback - Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet

I've run into a problem a couple of times with the YouTube app where you play a video and then close/switch to something else and the video keeps playing.
Checked with Advanced Task Killer and killed Youtube and all other apps, but the video sound keeps going.
Turned off the nook using the power button, screen closes but the sound from the video keeps going even when screen is asleep.
I checked services and shutdown all apps, and the sound from the video is still playing.
Its really odd. Only way to get the Nook to stop playing the video sound was to reboot the nook. Any ideas? Using latest cherry picks.
Thanks.

If you used titanium backup to install it, uninstall it. Download from the play store to install. I had the same problem, but this fixed it. Let me know if it worked for you

Will try and post back.

I have had this happen as well and it seems to be repeatable. At least for me. If the NT has been freshly booted I don't have any issues. If it has been up and running for several days and a lot of use it seems like a slow memory leak causing things to run slower and slower ultimately resulting in failure to properly close apps.
Sent from my CM 10 SD nook tablet. Thanks devs.

haven't had the issue crop up yet since reinstalling youtube from the store. Will know in a few days as the nook runs for a few more days for memory leak.

Pandora slow plays every other song & Hulu runs choppy..

Hi All:
So I've checked the different threads / forum topics and while some users have reported this issue on certain ROM's Q&A sections, I dont belive this to be a specific ROM issue as I have installed 2 different ROMS (VeganTab 7.1.0 and CM7 REPACKED - currently on CM7 repacked both ROMs are BL.2). I believe both roms are based on the same verison of droid.
With both ROMs, I;ve tried the following:
ISSUE:
With the newest Pandora installed, play a station. The 1st song plays fine, the 2nd song, play reaaaaallly slow. If you press the skip >> button, the next song play fine, the 4th song will play very very slowy
FAILED TO FIXES
1 - Change ROMS, by NVFlashing DETOX (on goodintentions website) partioning the hdd, doing wipes and flashing ROMs
2 - Cleared Data on Pandora, uninstalling Pandora and redownloading from the market
3 - restoring Pandora from TiBU, clearing Data and relog in.
On another note, I've notice HULU, doesnt play as well as it used to in a Default Browser, Dolphin and Puffin. You can start a show in any of them, video play back is choppy (audio is fine) and after the 1st commercial, the browser will freeze and lock up the device.
Other than that the both ROMS work fine but am looking for input on the issue to remain on these new versions of droid.
Thanks
anyone else experiencing these problems?
I have all these issues and would love to find a fix for it...
Im using VeganTab Ginger Edition right now, when playing Hulu the video will get choppy but the audio plays fine
When this happens sometimes the video will simply stop playing or switch to a black screen
the video will stop everytime the show starts up again after a commercial
sometimes the commercials will even have the video stop playing
If I change the video quality, switch from 288 to 360 to 480 and between when the video stops playing or freezes the video will return
I recently switched to vegan-ginger 7.1. I have the pandora issue but have not tried hulu yet.
I think a lot of them are having the pandora issue but have not seen any fixes for it.
I got the issue after 7.1 also - initially not every other song but in an attempt to resolve the problem I installed latest version Pandora app. Now the symptoms have worsened and I have the same issue - every other song plays slowly.
I tried installing the Hulu app - it plays OK but low res. Netflix did play one movie fast motion, but I did not associate this with the pandora issue and did not look closely.I have not had a repeat. Crackle and Youtube seem OK also.
I tried same fixes as nyciz - NG. Will try factory wipe this w/e - but to be frank i'm kinda getting tired of messing with it. Has anyone found a music app that is as good as pandora that works on vegan 7.1?
Ok so I got my issue resolved but it was by loading the older Vegan 7.0.0
This isn't a true fix but I get hulu and Pandora working.
Caution, this version has issue with new market. I froze old market with TiBu to resolve.

I have heard it is GB... but i run GB on my SGS4G and have no issues with Pandora. I don't want to role back to the earlier Vegantab.
I had "fixed" it once, unfortunately, i don't remember what i did.. (big help i know) If i am not mistaken, i used a difference kernel with the Vegan ROM... I have since tried a few diff ones to to avail.
I guess either the devs don't see this as an issue, or they aren't having it. Pandora is HUGE for me, i use it all the time... would love to have it working on my Tab...but i lack the patients, time, and knowledge to try to find a fix... HELP US DEVS AND ALL YOUR AWESOMENESS!
Pandora Songs Playing Slow as Well
I have a Viewsonic GTablet running CyanogenMod 7, internet solely through wifi, and I'm experiencing the same issue. I thought at first that Pandora was running a slow version of the song but I was mistaken. The first song will play normal and whenever I skip to the next song, the new song will play fine but if I leave it alone, it will play slow. Netflix is the only other streaming app that I've used and it hasn't had this issue. I'm extremely new to the Android platform so any help would be highly appreciated.
It's a bummer since I love Pandora.
Like I said in my post, either no one who has the knowledge to fix it cares, or they simply aren't having the issue.

Same issue with Pandora
I'm having the same issue with Pandora playing every other song slowly. Currently running Cyanogenmod 7.1.0.1. If I go back to running 7.0.3 then the Pandora app works fine. I've gone back and forth several times. I've tried removing data and uninstalling the app, but when I reinstall I get the same problem. I had wondered if it were something with the renaming on the device from harmony to smb_a1002, so I tried to change the build.prop. Unfortunately I wasn't able to get any where with the problem.
Any input or help that we can get would be greatly appreciated.
Had no issues running Pandora on non Ginger Vegan. Updated to 7.1 yesterday and am having the exact 'slowness' issues stated above.
Amazon Cloud player is NOT having any speed/slowness issues...
Regular device music/playlist plays fine.
Any fixes yet for Pandora??
Nope, no one seems to care...I sold my g-tab... lol

Ok guys and gals I think I found a fix:
I sideloaded the new pandora (not on market, just google it) Pandora 1.5.4 Black version. It seems to work fine with no slow down of the songs at least all day...will edit if it fails.
EDIT: AGGGHH it did it again I notice it works fine if you skip but if you let it naturally go to the next song it slows down. It was working fine earlier.......ok I give up....
Did not work for me either. Thanks for posting

I know for a fact that Pandora 1.5.14 works just fine on Vegan 7.0.0

[Q] Odd problem with CM7 2.1

I installed CM7 an hour ago without any problems. The process was about 100 times easier than installing cm7 on my fascinate, which was surprising. I tinkered with it a bit, then tried to play a mkv video and got a black screen. I tried 4 different media players, all black screens. I then went to youtube, tried to load up a video, blackscreen. I downloaded Angry Birds, opened it, black screen. I installed straight from WebOS, didn't have the previous version of cm7 on the pad.
Could it have something to do with the fact I had a custom kernel installed before?

WebOS kernel is irrelevant, it's booting from a different partition.
It should work fine, copy the new 2.1 alpha to the SD card, boot into CWM and do a full datawipe & then reflash 2.1, see if that helps.
I am having a fairly similar issue. Angry Birds and other games will work just fine, but videos don't play. I can hear the audio, but where the video should be there is just black. The only two sources I've tried were Netflix and YouTube.
I was hoping to avoid reinstalling CM7, but it looks like I might have to. Is nobody else having this problem?
With YouTube, for me at least, I have to rotate it horizontally to see video. If you watch in high quality, though, it hardly works. The video doesn't buffer properly (constantly stops to buffer).

As far as Netflix this is a known issue. Make sure you are using down version and not the most recent update. I had same issue, rolled back using my titanium backup version to 1.4.1 and all is well with netflix.

As to some of the other video issues if you are trying to play local files, a lot of this may be due to a lack of video codecs. I know I can play full profile 720P mp4 on my SGS2 but I get nothing on touchpad...chalking it up to a codec issue that hopefully gets resolved down the road.

Online video playback start freezes

I've lately faced a problem that keeps haunting me on a daily basis.
Whenever I startup a Youtube video from the app, or a Twitch stream or even open a video link with MX Player, I hear the audio normally but the picture is freezed or very low fps for the first 4-10 seconds. This literally happens almost every time when I start watching an online video. Usually when I start the video a few times again or skip to like 0:02 it starts normally. Sometimes this happens when I do a longer skip during the video as well.
It's very annoying and it definitely started happening after the OS updates. My OPX has been working brilliantly otherwise for 5 weeks now and the only customised thing in it is the Google Now launcher I've been using since day 2. My mobile internet is a constant 15/5 mbit 3G plan and this happens on a 10/10 mbit WiFi as well.
Anyone else facing similiar problems?
edit: This seems to happen only when YouTube/Twitch starts the video in HD. When I set YT's quality to 480p or lower and start the next video in that quality, the problems seems to go away. Naturally I expect this phone and this 3G internet to start online videos in HD.
make sure you've updated to oxygen os to V 2.1.3 , if you did, make sure the OPX RAM is not fully loaded by closing recent apps, or check the device storage to make sure it's not almost full, if problem still exist try to wipe cache partition through recovery cuz some phones from different careers comes with same problem in playing music or videos but after wiping cache all goes good, if it didn't work with u so it will be strange thing, i have problems with twitch but not the other apps, hope i helped u.

4th Gen 8.9 HDX OS5 steaming app video playback issues.

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.

Won't play video

I installed Remix 2.0 back when they released the Beta. Installed to my HDD from USB. Apps run fine until I try to play video. Whether it's native video through a variety of media apps, or video through the YouTube app, the app either crashes or I get an error message.
I also have an update available, but when I go into setting and select reboot and install it just reboots my computer and back into Remix without an update/install taking place.
Anyone else experience this? It's been a issue since I installed it, I've just been busy and lazy and haven't gotten around to finding a solution. Maybe I'll just download the most up-to-date Remix version from Remix and start fresh.
I also have trouble with playing media on RemixOS, but the one player I found that works reliably (in my case at least) is Kodi. VLC, MX Player and a bunch of other apps I tried failed at one point or another.
