video playback issue - Xperia Z4 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Have this reccuring problem with video playback not working. After a reboot everything is fine, but then in a day or two need to reboot again.
Happens in many apps like Plex, Netflix, YouTube, nrk (Norwegian TV), tee, and so on.
Plex gives me error that server is not online, Netflix gives a error code, YouTube gives a playback error code..
Any else experience this? Solution??

I get the same thing, no idea how to fix it, I swear this didn't work on earlier versions of the OS, at least restarting works...?
For me I think sometimes it has totally crashed my tablet.

[Q] Small, yet annoying video playback issue

Greetings from Portugal.
Before I start, yes, I have tried searching for it. Found a couple of old threads that didn't help much...
My question is: Is there a way to watch any video format without it stopping every few minutes?
If I use the stock player everything is fine, but it cannot support several video formats like avi, rmvb... etc. I use the MX player, but on some types of video, it stopps every few minutes. It's sooooo annoying!
From what i've seen in some threads, it happens with other video apps too. AND, when i am watching something directly from the internet, like fastpasstv, the video stops loading also every few minutes. I have to restart the loading from the middle... not hard, but also annoying. (using stock browser, and this doesn't happen on youtube for example)
Is the issue related? Since it seems to be happening to both online and offline video viewing...
I am stock, non-rooted, and non-unlocked... Wifi is fine.
I have the same problem. But it is a MX Player specific one for me. BS Player works fine (but has other issues).
Edit: I tried with the 'Performance Mode' and it works so far. Maybe a workaround?
I never have this problem when streaming one of many video formats from my PC to my Prime using ES File Manager to find the video files on my PC and MX to play them as streams.
Is this something that you tend to experience with streams/videos being played directly on the Prime?
For me it is locally played .ts videos.
Meanwhile I found this thread http://groups.google.com/group/mx-videoplayer/browse_thread/thread/533d7296c0305183
It might be a Prime/ICS problem. There seems to be no solution up to now.
I get this same issue trying to stream video from sites other than youtube. It is when I'm streaming that I get most of the lock ups with the prime, reboots, etc. Maybe it is something to do with the allotted cache size of the browser being used up and cleared to make room for more buffered video?
It is rather annoying. You basically have to let it load and watch the whole thing as it goes. If I hit pause or so anything else then it risks stopping the stream where ever its at in the buffering. It's nice to have it start loading up, hitting pause, and walking away for a few minutes to let it buffer up. But then when I come back it would have just stopped about a 1/3 into it or 1/2 way. It would require hitting the reload button at the top or having to close the browser, kill it in the task manager, and then reopen it.
I don't have this issue with Netflix though. They did something right in their app.
I used to have this issue with mx player. It really sucked having to restart a movie every 5-10 minutes.
You want to use Dice Player. It's played everything I've thrown at it. All in Hardware rendering so the screen goes blank when plugged into HDMI.
Haven't had any issues since. I'm using the paid version, I assume they are both alright though.

video playback displays blank screen with only audio?

Okay...I thought I was fairly experienced but this has me stumped
When I try playing from the Samsung Media Hub, all I get is blank video but I get all the audio and subtitles.
If I hit the back button, I see the last video frame before the video player closes.
Tried JoeVLC as well as MX Player and I get the same behavior.
Avengers used to play fine just a few weeks ago.
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the video players.
I tried uninstalling any apps I installed over the past few weeks as well.
I Google'd for everything I could think of and only found one facebook Page that sounded vaguely like this problem but MX Player solved it for them.
Anyone else see this? Or better yet, fix it?
PS. Forgot to mention I tried rebooting the phone without luck.
Youtube and Flash in Web pages work fine.
This is also a stock ROM.

Video playing problem

Hey guys I have a problem with my Xperia Z2. When I'm watching videos from youtube,facebook or etc. , after a while I got some errors. For example I'm watching videos from youtube and after I got this error " Error loading. Tap to retry'" and after this error I cant play any videos, my local videos too. I face "video cannot played" error my local videos. And just when i restart my phone videos are playing. Whats the problem this device? I tried firmware update and it's still same.
It seems to be a bug related to facebook
I dont think there is a fix aside rebooting your device.

Same for me but I even does't have facebook installed, browser videos (html) and Youtube doesn't work, only a restart helps :/
I have it too.. Even you can't record videos with camera.. After restart everything works like a charm.
having the exact same problem, i think this is because of 5.0.2
I think that's not the problem.. I had 5.0.2 for a while... Like 2 months, but this started to happen yesterday
It looks like general problem.. So have we any solution except restarting?

Problem with every streaming app. please help

Hey,
I have the Nvidia shield. Every time I watch/stream something on cyberflix I keep getting buffering. I have very fast internet and I see the stream downloading but then for some reason it just stops and will not continue to download. Then the movie starts buffering so I need to exit out and goto a different stream. I have tried clearing the cache not sure what else I can do.
Like netflix works and streaming live tv works. The only think that doesn't seem to work is the movie/tv streaming apps. It is driving me nuts I've tried everything. not sure what to do

No Audio, and Stuttering Video

Hi, would really appreciate if anyone could help me.
My phone today is suddenly showing major problems after it had been working perfectly the night before - any video played from any source, the chrome browser, youtube app, file manager, shows extreme stuttering playback, with zero audio. It can no longer play audio files from music or podcasts either.
Playing games seems to work fine, as does the audio there. The phone otherwise seems fluid, I haven't changed or messed around with any setttings, the night before everything seemed perfect.
The phone is a Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite with stock android 9, and rooted. Here is the youtube app playing video: https://imgur.com/3CnPHxc
Logcat if it helps? https://filebin.net/4rxfdq96n0xlzc0y
No clue what's suddenly happened, any insight welcomed!
EDIT: Solved - for anyone randomly experiencing the same issue, this Magisk APTX module was the offender, removed it and problem disappeared.
