z2 cannot play any video after a while? - Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So, my z2 can play any video, but, after a while it refuses to play anything.
However, the problem dissapears once I reboot, but after a while, it happens all over again.
I also can't record videos when this happens.
I am on lp 5.1.1, using androplus kernel, and I have xposed (although I haven't changed modules in a while now, so I don't think that xposed has anything to do with this)

Anyone??

[Q] Z4 tablet crashes when playing video

All,
I need help with my brand-new Sony Z4 tablet: it crashes 90% of the times I play video!!
This happens regardless of the app used to play video, e.g. in YouTube as well as FX Media Player or Google Photos or even Sony's own "Videos" app. The crash happens right away before any of the video shows up. The screen goes black, the LED blinks 3 times short and then once long and the tablet goes into reboot (Sony logo, Android logo, wait, then home screen).
What is wrong with my tablet???
My tablet is the SGP771 (Z4 tablet LTE but no SIM inserted as I work with WLAN only), Android 5.0.2, build 28.0.A.7.24. I am running Action Launcher (not the Sony launcher) and have disabled some of the bloatware on the tablet (Sony apps, Gmail, etc).
I would greatly appreciate if anybody can help me with this as this is VERY ANNOYING!
Thanks! Martin
Maybe some of the bloatware you disabled is actually needed to play videos, I don't know.
Mine doesn't play videos on FB
Sent from my Nexus 6
Got no issues with avi, mkv and mp4 movies ranging between 600 and 3800 MB using MX player pro. Neither with YouTube via app or web nor videos in Google photo app.
SGP712 and 28.0.A.6.2. Sony launcher, uninstalled Sony apps which could be uninstalled, left rest. No modifications otherwise.
Maybe try resetting the tablet to factory values and see if the issue still persists.
same here, latest updates installed (Android 6.0.1)
it should not be caused by apps but more likely by kernel/drivers
I have a variation on this. Every once in a while I'm unable to play YouTube videos or GIF(V)'s/MP4's from within Relay Pro (Reddit client app). It says 'Playback failed.' (Relay) or 'There was a problem while playing. Tap to retry.' (YouTube). Rebooting the tablet fixes this...

Me too, but it was on the stock ROM, with every stock ROM from 5.02 to 6.0.1. With cm, no problem with YouTube at all.
Had this issue with unlocked bootloader on Z4 tablet, there is a working solution in another thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/help/video-playback-issue-t3290793

Thor on CM11 issue with video playback (Netflix, Youtube)

When I attempt to play video on different services it will pause or kick back to the selection screen. When I'm on Youtube it will merely pause and on Netflix it kicks back to the selections. I know there isn't an issue with the tablet because when I boot into stock OS Netflix works fine. I attempted to install Nexus but it wouldn't work with wifi even when I had it in RomSlot-1.
I also tried to use the xposed framework with the Netflix fix but it didn't work.
Has anyone else had this issue or found a fix?
Edit: I wiped and flashed stock slot with Nexus and it is still occurring. This is a huge function that I need on this tablet as the stock OS is so limiting. It was too hard for my mother to use so I gave her my iPad and I took this as a courtesy to her. Can't go back now!

Camcorder won't work after BL unlock, root and DRM fix?

So, like the title suggests, i have unlocked the bootloader, rooted my z5c and applied the drm-fix-thingy. I have also for example installed the xposed framework and some modules. Taking photos works and they look fine, but it won't record video. I've tried different apps, resolutions, framerates but neither front nor back camera will record. Sony camera 2.0.0 for example force closes when i try it.
Has anyone faced anything like this? Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!
Under my experience the camera doesn't work with xposed installed.
You decide Sony Camera (the google ones works) or xposed.
I tried google camera as well, it also takes photos (like sony's camera) but doesn't record video either :/ says it can't connect to the camera

It works again! Still don't really know what the problem was, i updated my xposed modules and rebooted the phone, now it records just fine... Maybe it just needed the reboot

Can't play videos.

Hello, i have an E5823 unlocked bootloader and rooted on marshmallow 6.0.1. I have installed xposed and framework version 86. I only have one problem, a pretty big problem. I can't play videos. In youtube "There was a problem while playing tap to retry" and how many times i press it doesn't matter, the video won't play. In twitter "playback error" in reddit it doesn't say anything but it just loads forever and never plays the video. In instagram i can't watch videos either. And sometimes i can't even record video. A fix is to restart but it lasts for like 5 minutes and then the problem is back. This is really frustrating.
hey there... i had this problem too, i`m still on 6.0.1 with unlockded bootloader and rooted.. i reinstaled another kernel and the problem was solved! hope it helps

Thank you so much!

Lag when playing videos after installing Xposed.

Hello.
After batting a bit with the fall of Emma and Xperia Companion servers, I was finally able to root my Android 6 device.
After installing everything you need (Magisk, Titanium Backup) install Xposed. Everything running normal, no bootloops or anything.
At the moment, I entered YouTube to watch a few videos but suddenly the image of the video started with a terrible lag. The audo works properly.
Also try Chrome and it happens the same, while with local videos (SD card) they also have lag, but it is less problematic.
In addition, the camera also has a lot of lag.
The only module installed was Greenify.
What do you think the problem is? Currently reinstall all firmware using Xperia Companion while researching what was happening.
Thanks a lot.
