Stuttering Video in some apps? - Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've got stuttering video in MLB at Bat and TCM movies but Netflix streams fine. Issue persists on LTE and wifi. Anyone else with stuttering video with any apps? It can't be a kitkat issue because I can't replicate on my Z1.

I picked up my Z2 while I was in Taiwan a few weeks back.
You're right I've noticed that on some video apps that streams video it seems to stutter when it starts rendering it on the display at the highest resolution it can. I notice this problem in several apps, MLB At Bat, Optimum (cable tv operator app), Hulu Plus... Yet I notice on some apps the streaming video is fine, i.e. youtube is perfect and is beautiful... I don't have netflix anymore so have not tried that app.
I don't have the video stuttering issues on my Nexus 5 or Moto-X phones which are all on kit kat.
Makes me wonder if it's sony software or app related that could be causing this on the Z2. I tried disabling the X-Reality engine, but that didn't help. I also tried a variety of different wireless networks thinking it was wi-fi that was causing the video stuttering issue, but to no avail. I get the same stuttering video while I am using LTE. When the video is not in the highest resolution it appears to display nice and smooth as it should.
Has anyone else with a Z2 had this problem? Or is it only us? I've been scouring the internet and this is the only post I've found someone else that is having the same problems as us. It's a shame, the display is beautiful and I really want to be able to watch baseball and cable tv on it without the annoying stutter.

Thanks for clarifying. MLB at Bat has remedied.

For anyone reading this thread the problems seem to have been resolved after the latest firmware update came out today for me.
I went from 17.1.A.2.69 to 17.1.1.A.0.402.
No more video stuttering issues.

[Q] Is anyone's YouTube constantly laggy in HD?

I have been watching videos on YouTube and noticed that it would randomly slow down on frames then speed back up. Yes its buffered enough. I was just curious if this is happening to anyone else.

I been having similar speed issues and allot of times the videos will just 'hang' there resulting in the never ending loading animation. In my case Ive found that only the youtube app is affected and I dont have any problems by just simply surfing youtube through the browser instead. I use dolphin hd and everything works fine that way.
Same issue here. Sucks having to watch non HD vids on our beautiful screen

slightly laggy video playback

I'm noticing that videos recorded on the device are slightly laggy on playback. It seems to happen at some points. A restart helps, but I don't know why its happening. Other full hd videos play smoothly and I have tried other video players with no luck. Verizon galaxy s3.
Is it ones that you record? If so is it on1080p?

Do you find them laggy on the stock video player? I find that they do stutter a bit on third party video apps, but they're perfectly fine on stock video player.
Yes, on the stock player. I took some video of my son the other day and when I played it back for my mom, it started stuttering at the end. But, I just played it for myself yesterday and it worked fine. Not sure what's up.

I've found a work around,it sucks but if you record in 720p the video that you record wont lag at all, I've called Samsung they said to try a factory reset. But I'm not going to I'm OK with my 720p. Hope this helps you guys out, if any body trys a factory reset and it works please come back and let us know.

I have noticed that ocassionaly the last couple frames stutter. But I've recorded a lot of 1080p videos and no other problems playing back on stock player. 3rd party video players on the phone are hit and miss tho (mostly miss).
I'm running into the same problem. It seems to be the player. When I upload the videos onto my pc they playback smoothly but when I play them on the stock player on the phone it lags badly.

What ROM are you running?

Does anyone else have this issue on stock or any other rom?
I have this on certain youtube videos. Sometimes its second behind, others only milliseconds. There was a big thread on this topic in the General section. It should come up in a search. I don't think it was ever solved.
Stock but rooted.

Facebook video "cannot be played"

Keep getting an issue with Facebook videos. The video starts, plays maybe 10-20 seconds then stops and days "sorry this video cannot be played"
Anyone else get this? The weird thing is it buffers way past the point it cuts out, I have fibre broadband so the whole video buffers within seconds.
Cheers

Make sure You have strong connections & try to reinstall the app :good:
Same here. Facebook and Twitter doesn't work for me. I have got good and bad Internet connection it's still the same. When I use 3g or 4g they work fine it's very strange

I have this problem too. Im trying to play videos on facebook app, in somewhere on playback, it crashes and says sorry. How to fix it ?
Yep. I have this issue too. Have good network connections so not that!

Yes, same problem here too. Thought it was a bug with the latest RomAur.
I get a few seconds of play then it gives an error.

Slow motion video quality is very poor and pixel are.

Slow Motion had been working fine for me except for the fact that it is very grainy and Pixelated despite video details showing that it is 720p. Anyone else have similar problems?

Same for me. Have you tried watching the videos on another screen other than the phone? I thought it may just be the playback frame rate causing the issue and not the actual recording. I haven't exported anything yet myself.

I'm not entirely sure this would help what you guys are talking about but maybe worth looking into either way

HereLG G3 Slow motion test: http://youtu.be/rpuNL4m8Dds is a link to the video I just recorder at 120 FPS unfortunately, the YouTube player does not support slow motion like other video players such as vlc. So feel free to download it and have a look if you want to see it in slow motion. The picture quality ad you can see looks like 360p and seems to be upscale to 720p. I still think something is wrong based in the other G3 slow motion videos I have seen on the Internet.
