Black screen with Netflix - Honor 10 Questions & Answers

I have this weird problem with the Honor 10. When playing a Netflix video, it first works, but after a few video's, the screen is black. Subtitle, audio and notifications are heard/shown but no video. When pressing the home button, the PiP video is shown and this DOES work. When switching back to full screen, again only black video. I've found out that switching the resolution between HD+ and FHD+ fixes the problem but after a while it comes back. Anyone have a clue?

I only watch it at HD+ so it consumes less bandwith.
Never a problem.

Watched like 100+ episodes of different series on my Honor 10 and never had this problem.

Mate 10 Pro > YouTube app - Stretch to fit arrow button, videos without black bars

Hello,
so I noticed that the default YouTube had a button with two arrows, that when viewing videos in landscape mode you could press, so that video zooms in a bit, so there is no black bars on the sides.
But with YouTube app update the button disappeared!
1. So have you noticed it?
2. And what can be done about it, or who could be contacted about it?
To view videos with truly full screen was really nice! I want that back!

Try to pinch your screen like you want to do zoom, it will become full screen

Netflix Colorspace Anomaly

Altered Carbon came out Friday. For some reason, its colorspace is regraded during playback on my Tab S3. The anomaly takes a few seconds to manifest, but the switch can be observed in the opening credit sequence. At first the lettering is bright red, then it turns into a washed out orange. Occasionally, when you pause playback and resume after a few seconds the colorspace resets to normal, then snaps back to the muted colors. The effect is also especially noticeable during the end credits: the usually red Netflix and vibrant Skydance logos are washed out, and when watching episodes back to back this carriers over into the opening Netflix logo of the next episode.
This doesn't happen with any other series or on any other device. I'm on Samsung's stock Nougat. Changing the screen mode doesn't seem to affect this issue.
Does anyone else notice this anomaly?
For what its worth, I haven't experienced this issue watching a 1080p rip of the show via Kodi (with the option to change contrast enabled).
Could just be that the Samsung "Adaptive Display" screen mode (can be changed under settings) is ****ing with the picture. Another possibility is HDR. As far as I know Netflix isn't yet supporting it on this tablet (could be wrong, I don't have Netflix) even though the device does support it. This could be them having support implemented wrongly in the latest app version (but than most likely other HDR enabled shows should act the same).

Flicker if you keep brightness lower than full in youtube HDR videos

So i found this thing. I dont know if this is an issue. But when i keep my brightness lower than full (say 50%) and try to watch any HDR video on Youtube the screen starts flickering or tries to go to max brightness (as its required for HDR) again and again. It looks like it is flickering but all its doing is trying to reach peak brightness.
The same video when i watch in full brightness there is no flicker. As its the highest.
Also the HDR 1080P 60 fps videos lag and stutter too much in youtube. When i download them and play on vlc on V30 there are no issues at all even with HDR which plays at 50% brightness also.
I just got my LG V30+ yesterday and I have the exact same problems. It seems to be connected to ambient light somehow, because it doesn't always flicker. However the audio sync issue is present at all times when watching 1080p HDR. Completely unwatchable.
I dont think its an issue. I think it happens with every V30. I have checked it in showrooms too. Its more of a softare thing which LG needs to fix through a firmware update. Or you can just manually increase the brightness to top everytime you wanna see HDR video's on Youtube.
I see the same on my V30. It's most likely Youtube app bug. It is not happening using stock Youtube app version. 15% auto brightness goes up to 100% and stay there during whole video. In recent version it is flickering between 15 and 100% during playback. Weird indeed.
In case of 1080p60 HDR stutter, it is known issue I believe. Other phones with SD 835 SoC have it similar. Google already downgraded video options in app from 1440p to 1080p, but still not quite good.
At last some more inputson this issue. Its good to see people chipping in and hopefully google solves this or Lg
I think it started with some March app update. I have tested many HDR videos in February and everything was fine.
edit:
I have tried version 13.10.55 and it seems to be fixed.
I have a Galaxy S8 and I have the same issues with flickering to
Same thing happens on my galaxy s9+
I still have this issue. Cant watch youtube without the hdr video stuttering. Also when brightness is on low and im watching hdr fullscreen it starts flickering.
I thought this would have been fixed by now

I do not see any flickering, and just tested "Real 4K HDR: Cosmos Laundromat in HDR" in 1080p HDR. I adjusted the screen brightness to 30%, but once the video start, the brightness seemed to max out as it should for HDR. Manual brightness adjustment had no effect when the video is in play. My V30 is on Software version H93220k.

Netflix goes black when moving mouse cursor

We've got the MediaPad M5 with attached hardware keyboard. (Original Huawei/Fine Triumph Folio keyboard)
In Netflix, as soon as we move the mouse cursor, the video turns black. Sound is still playing, overlays like subtitles and time line are still visible, but the video itself is not. Wait 15 seconds for the mouse cursor to fade away, and the video comes back.
I've also tried YouTube, Plex and the video streaming app for the national TV here, and they do not have this problem.
I've tried re-installing Netflix, rebooting the tablet, changing colour mode & temperature, text & display size, smart resolution, colour correction, mouse pointer size, advanced visual effects, but the problem does not change.
Does anybody know a solution?
I have the same issue but with touch. Idk why

MirrorShare and video?

On my Samsung s9+, using the "Smart View" feature allows me to view the screen and video (from, for instance, the TiVo app) on my fire stick. On my M5, using the "MirrorShare" feature, the screen sharing works right up till video starts playing, then all I see mirrored are the video controls, but not the video itself, it is all black (the sound comes through though). Anyone know why this would be? Is the M5 screen resolution too high to display on a 1080 fire stick or something? (But the samsung has a higher resolution than 1080 display too). Just curious. I can stick with the phone for screen sharing for now.
