Hey. I have a sony xperia z4 tablet. For a while ago i rooted it and installed a rom after a while i found out that they didn't work properly. I then installed the official 6.0 marsmellow. At the time i got that i had a problem that sometimes after watching some vidoes it would say there was a problem playing this video or something like that, i tryed clearing the data and all that stuff but it didn't work. For every time i got that error i had to restart the tablet and then i could watch some more videos. After i installed 6.0 i think there has been 2 updates. After theese the error have changed in wierd ways after the last 7.0 nugat i can hear the sound but no video is showing
On the first vesion 6.0 i think the screen froze after a few seconds of watching but the audio kept playing.
On the second 6.2 i think not sure the error can't play this video try again later.
7.0 nugat there is no video just sound.
The quickfix for all of theese seem to be restart the device but i think its weird and i dont wanna keep doing this.

The only way to fix this problem is to use custom rom. I face this problem since lollipup, and havent found a solution. On custom roms no problem at all.
@alex009988
Thank u for quick reply. Do you know about any stable good costum roms? What r u using?

Hey guys im pretty new to this, i have been running my xperia U (rooted) on the old gingerbread for sometime now, finally bit the bullet and unrooted it and upgraded to ICS 4.0.4 via SCC. I quite like ICS its smoother and the phone runs faster (although battery life now suffers) the only issue i am having is I cant play videos on my phone; this includes camera video in the gallery and embedded videos on the browser. I have factory reset about 100 times still hasnt worked and have tried installing adobe air, flash etc still nothing. When i click on a video in the gallery for example i try touching the play button but nothing happens, the thumbnail and video still image is fine just there is no response from touching the play button.
Am i missing something? or am i being a complete tool, iv looked all over the forums for help on this but everyone else seems to be getting some kind of error message, mines just doesnt respond to the touch....
Help please! appreciates
thanks
Chris

hey mate thanks for the reply, everyone has recommended this but i dont like having apps on my phone that i really dont need i should be able to use the stock player, but its unresponsive. this goes for embedded vids too!
ALSO
i tried re installing firmware, got it working again but then as i was using Titanium back up to remove the bloatware it stopped working (also made sure i didnt accidently remove important files or programmes that the video player is dependant on...) im stumped! not a disaster but i like to watch the office before i go to sleep at night hahahahah
UPDATE- Found the problem i deleted the "movies" app in titanium which stops the videos from playing in the gallery, what sort of stupid **** is that!
Hi everybody,

even youtube.., the only way is launching the browser.., , but with the application is the same issue.., the videos run in 4X speed!
Bad...
Try to think what have you done one week ago. What have you tried so far to do? I think it's not a hardware issue. Either an android bug or something from your custom rom.
Hello guys,
i have bought few months ago a s4 phone i9515 and manually upgraded it from 4.4.2 to 5.0.1. And after two months i started having a problem.
Whenever i try to watch any video doesnt matter where(for example youtube facebook or any other app) my screen freezes after 20-30sec,but the audio continues. If i leave it after 20-30 seconds my screen continues the video,but doesnt sync the picture and the sound and its kinda impossible to enjoy anything like this. I tried by uninstalling youtube and again installing it and the problem is still there.
i hope someone has a good solution for me.
Sry if this is the wrong place for this thread.
thx in andvance. Cheers
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!
I'm looking for a solution for a video playback problem my LG-H930DS (SEA) has after the 8.0 Oreo update. When I start the phone everything is working well, but after a few minutes of normal usage the built-in videoplayer cannot play video recordings made by the phone itself. It says "Cannot play video - This file type is not supported" Then I have to restart the phone to get it working again. But it fails nearly every day. I wouldn't mind this failing because I can choose a different app to play the gallery videos, but the problem is that Snap-chat videos fail to play as well when this happens, until next restart. That's the bug I cannot have. Also when the phone gets into the state of not playing videos, the ringtones and alarm clock make no sound.
To start the problem I only have to open a few random web pages in chrome, open the gallery a few times, play some videos , and in a few minutes of this usage video playback crashes. MX player, VLC and youtube still work though.
I have done a lot of troubleshooting for this problem:
Full restore of the phone
Flashed different firmwares, H930DS20b, H930DS20d, and the european variant H93020d
Tried with no apps installed, other then preinstalled ones
Tried it in safe mode
But the problem always remains.
I always use the same google account. And after upgrading to 8.0 the problem does not seem to start until I restart the phone for the first time, after that it's constantly failing. Don't know if it starts when the memory gets close to full or not, but nothing else is failing on the phone.
I have now downgraded my phone to the Android Nougat 7.1.2 (H930DS10d) and this problem is not there, no matter how hard I try to replicate it.
I can only find one link on google where this problem is reported. (problem #6)
I have contacted LG Support, and they had never heard about this, and wanted me to send my phone in for repairs. But I'm not willing to pay for shipping from Europe to Asia, if this is just a software problem.
Is someone else getting this problem, or does know a fix or a workaround for it? Or is there a way for me to view the errors the phone is running into?
Sorry for the long post, hope someone is willing to read it and give me a little help
I finally found out what the problem is. It's actually just media files in the storage I use every day. These files only contain audio, but have the extension .ts. Video playback on the phone fails because the gallery is trying to create thumbnails of them to display. The workaround for the problem was to place a .nomedia file in the folder containing those files, to hide them from the gallery. After that the problem stopped. I've been using these files for years, and it has never been a problem until Android 8.
have you tried some other video player?
stock one is quite basic and thin.
Hi, yes I do use another players, but the gallery is failing video plaback in snapchat and stopping ringtones and alarms from working aswell, without using the stock player.
Same problem here with LG V30
I have the same problem with my phone I have the T-Mobile V30 and I have the same issue. I figured out not to take videos in 4k [email protected] works fine. But the moment I create a video at 4k it either starts playing and stops midway with sound continuing to play with frozen picture or it just says it doesn't support the video.
I've been using LG phones ever since the G2 and never had any other phone or any problems with them. This one though is getting really annoying.
I hate these Q&A format threads with a passion. I wish people would just open regular threads...

Have you tried other video players like VLC, MXPlayer?
Yes sir I did many players and VLC is always on all my devices and it also gets stuck. I'll try the .nomedia file and see how that works
And I have a problem with the smoothness of video playback in gallery, whether it's a bluray movie in mp4/mkv FHD format, or from camera in FHD or in 4k is always on Android 8.0 I have a delicate jam, how would he lose single frames every 0.7sec ~ 0 , 25sec. I came back for testing on 7.1.2 and it is perfectly smooth always, as soon as I updated to 8.0 version 20d or the latest 21h there are jam ... how b was an oreo error, quite a few friends did not catch up with this problem, I'm a perfectionist and I look at every detail whether it's a video or sound, that's why I chose the highest model of the phone.
LG releases more patches (already 4) and as soon as it appears oreo are staples. You can see that this is a pfroblem with support for video caps because MX Player also has micro jams on the hardware codec.
Interestingly, youtube is fluid.
I only hope that the Android Pie will be improved.
I'm having the same problem as well please let me know when you will find the solution to this problem of smoothness of video
At first it was running smooth AF but after some time i noticed the problem after 1 day of use.
Reseting the phone didnt work.
