Facebook video "cannot be played" - Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

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.

Issues with subtitle syncing

I just got my EVO 3D and have tried a plethora of players including VPlayer, QQPlayer, MoboPlayer, and Vital Player
So far only Vplayer has not had syncing issues and the subtitles appear at the correct time.
Subtitles are out of sync on everything else.
Also after 2 minutes or so VPlayer stops displaying subtitles all together though.
Has anyone experienced this problem? Any tips?
My phone is not rooted by the way.
I'd be grateful for any assistance I receive.
Files are 720p by the way
Also I am unsure if I posted this in the right subforum.
Sorry if I did.
Anyone?
Anyone at all?
Just gonna keep this alive I guess.
Have you tried DicePlayer?

Working a lot better than others so far.
Subs sync good, quality is good overall.
Only issue is subs can cut off if a sentence is a bit long.
I might switch to this if no other solution comes up.
Thanks for the tip
No problem. I discovered it a few weeks ago and it has been my goto player since.

Ok so DicePlayer now has an issue after watching something longer than 5 minutes.

It looks like the timing is mixing up with the subs?

[Q] Is the youtube app update 2.2.14 break playing videos for you?

Just updated the youtube app to 2.2.14:
-uploading over wifi is still broken for a decent length of video, e.g. 1min/88MB. The upload goes for a while, stops, times out, retries, rinse repeat and then fails.
- cannot play videos. A video will play for 3-5 seconds, freeze, act like it's buffering, and then just stop.
Anyone else get this behavior? I'm on 2.3.4 stock, rooted.
Yes same thing has been happening to me. It started yesterday. No videos load at all. I'm on cyanogenmod though. The prebeta

same here. plays fine if you search for the video on your browser first though? random
Same here ...
Running PiCrust 0.6v (2.3.4)
That's the one thing I miss about the iPhone. Yeah, the Youtube app stinks on the iPhone also, but at least you can watch YT videos on the default web browser and *never* have any problems such as buffering.
When I try to watch YT videos on the Android's web browser(s), I get a message that says "Sorry, can't play this video". WTF!
Same here in gobstopper bell...YouTube plays a few seconds then buffers forever

Same here. Plays for 12 sec then just stops.

I have the same problem with the latest version as well. Sometimes hang and sometimes causes the phone to hard reboot. I found an older version of youtube that you can sideload.

You should be able to uninstall the update, that's what I did. I was just wondering if anyone else was experiencing similar problems. Seems like it .

Video Unlimited problems on Tablet S

Is anyone else experiencing problems with Video Unlimited on their Tablet S? If I click on a movie to try and watch a preview or rent then the app flashes and goes back to the main screen. Same thing happens if I try and go to settings in the Video Unlimited app.
I had that problem but then i unistall it then reinstalled it.

Anyone know how to submit feedback about a Sony App?
The SocialLife app is laggy when scrolling through posts and the Music Unlimited App is very un-stable, always force closes or reloads and it's quite frustrating. I'd use them more else.

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.

Stuttering Video in some apps?

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.
