[Q] Video playback diagonal coloured stripes across... - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

About 50% of the time on Youtube and ALL the time on NowTV I get a thick coloured stripe at the bottom of the screen and sort of coloured diagonal lines across the screen. The playback is sort of washed out behind the lines.
I'm using Nameless 4.4 and have tried clean installs, but it obviously isn't a widely experienced problem with the ROM since I can't find anything on the Nameless thread.
Any ideas would be brilliant as it's really really annoying.
I would change ROM but NowTV doesn't run on anything rooted (even with root disabled) such as aokp/CM11/Slimkat etc.

Go back to stock firmware to test if it's a hardware fault.

Did you come right?
I have the same problem.. I have the 12.1-2015-05-31-UNOFFICIAL-i9300 custom rom on my galaxy s3.
Playback via. the default youtube app is fine, but playback on my TubeMate app gives me the same effect as you have above (looks as though it's playing on an old tv with bad reception)
Worth mentioning that I have 2 other android devices with TubeMate that are not using custom roms, and the playback is fine
I've just written to the tubemate guys.. will post anything useful here

Changing default screen orientation?

Hello All,
So I am running CM 7.0.3 and have the netflix app running through a friend whom gave me a special APK. When I load the application all of the pictures appear on the screen and I can load video and playback is great (even without the hardware acceleration, though the tablet gets a touch warm). The problem is the information such as names, length and short description do not appear. The application itself actually only appears in portait mode with the soft keys at the top.
I was hoping to find out if this is a restriction set by the CM system and if its modifiable. My Engadget, Joystick and a few other news apps act the same way and it would be fantastic to get it into landscape mode. I am also hoping that getting this into landscape may fix the issue with the netflix text display issues. Otherwise thankfully I can usually tell what I am watching from the picture, but I'm a bit of a perfectionist.
Anyhow, If anyone knows if there's a way to change this please let me know and I would love to try it out.
Thanks!

Screen flickering while recording

Hey guys...
I'm just wondering if i'm the only person having this problem. Before the .15 update, when i recorded and used those stupid effects (make eyes big, face small...etc) it was recording fine. But today i was trying to shoot a video using the effect, and when i played the video it had a screen tear/flicker on the top of my screen. Can anyone check if they're having the same problem?
The screen has a \____/ kinda shape flickering on the top of the screen when i'm playing the videos.
thanks
This is a BUG! I have this problem when i hit a recent apps botton...Please turn on screen and then 20-30second dont touch your screen when is in homepage then go to settings and do you see any homepage widget,icon like ghosting (screen burn)?
Yup
I have the same issue when using the front facing and Rear facing camera w/ video effects. Hopefully it gets fixed soon. Running Virtuous Rom

Horizontal White Lines Bug

Hi people
I'm having this problem whereby certain times when performing actions during video playback (or even viewing images sometimes) I'll get the 'white horizontal lines fade in' bug. I've taken a logcat. This was switching from Viral Pro to the Recents screen. I'm using Frankenbiker's CM11 build, April 3rd. Is there any solution to this?
P.S. The video watched was 720p, direct streamed from YouTube. I had no other apps open.

Blackview A5 Green Screen flickering while playing videos

Hi guys,
I just bought a blackview A5 to find out what you can get for about 45€ It's incredible fast and everything works quiet well except playing videos. When I'm playing videos in an app like youtube or tagesschau (german tv channel) I've got a green flickering in the picture, especially if there are a lot of blue areas in the picture. It's like blue area become green then switching back to blue then green again and so on...It's looks a bit like an error in the video driver or video codec...I tried to update the firmware...but still same problem. Does anybody has an idea how to solve the problem? Do you think it's hardware related?
On developer option. Turn on disable hw overlay on developer options. If dint work turn off completely developer option. The flickering issue will solve.
Didn't work for me! Have the same problem.

Question Videos are washed out in many apps such as Google Photos/Chrome

Hello all,
This has been an issue since I got the pixel 6 at launch. When playing videos, the shadows appear washed out. It appears to be some sort of gamma shift or HDR tone mapping issue. This happens when in google photos, chrome browser, imgur, even other apps. (youtube is fine).
I've confirmed in person this happens to other pixels one of which was pixel 6 pro.
The issue is recorded here:
I tried changing the color setup under display options in system settings, turning off H265 in camera settings, booting into safe mode, forcing 60hz refresh rate, but it still washes out the videos.
This does not happen with videos shot by other phones, for example my wife's iPhone shot video then sent it over to me and the gamma shift does not happen...
Strange thing is, in Chrome while playing the video, as soon as I swipe up from the bottom to open the recent apps, the video jumps back to normal as seen here:

I reported this to google, and their chat support to me to fully nuke my phone to factory....
Does anyone have any idea why this is happening, and could other Pixel 6 users verify it's happening on their devices as well ?
Thank you

I seldom shoot video with phones and usually don't like to reference reviews. But from what you described Dxomark's summary about video performance is looking to be spot-on.
Google Pixel 6 Camera review: An outstanding performer in its segment - DXOMARK
The Google Pixel 6 camera displayed an outstanding performanc and is currently the best option for photographers who prefer smaller devices.

My experience with dark objects in still photos has been somewhat similar. Recently I couldn't get enough detail photographing black camera bodies I'm selling online. Even with direct light from a daylight LED lamp I ended up using night mode. Every speck of dust showed up which wasn't ideal either.
Over all, though, I like the Pixel 6 camera.

Did you ever find an answer to this? I'm having the same issue... though it's not for every video, just in certain programs/websites.
Cheers.
I've been able to remedy this in chrome by turning off HW Overlays in Developer Options.
It's still an issue in Google Photos.

Sorry if I didin't understand it at first, the toggle to disable HW Overlays in the developer options will always turn off again, at least in Pixel 6, so that's what confused me

Huh it stays on on note 10 . In that case i am not shure how u can keep it on. Can u elaborate on when it turn itself off back again?
Weird, after I turn it on, I can go to any other screen on the phone, if I come back the toggle it´s off again, maybe it´s a bug on my end, here´s the example
