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.

I installed CM7 an hour ago without any problems. The process was about 100 times easier than installing cm7 on my fascinate, which was surprising. I tinkered with it a bit, then tried to play a mkv video and got a black screen. I tried 4 different media players, all black screens. I then went to youtube, tried to load up a video, blackscreen. I downloaded Angry Birds, opened it, black screen. I installed straight from WebOS, didn't have the previous version of cm7 on the pad.
Could it have something to do with the fact I had a custom kernel installed before?

WebOS kernel is irrelevant, it's booting from a different partition.
It should work fine, copy the new 2.1 alpha to the SD card, boot into CWM and do a full datawipe & then reflash 2.1, see if that helps.
I am having a fairly similar issue. Angry Birds and other games will work just fine, but videos don't play. I can hear the audio, but where the video should be there is just black. The only two sources I've tried were Netflix and YouTube.
I was hoping to avoid reinstalling CM7, but it looks like I might have to. Is nobody else having this problem?
With YouTube, for me at least, I have to rotate it horizontally to see video. If you watch in high quality, though, it hardly works. The video doesn't buffer properly (constantly stops to buffer).

As far as Netflix this is a known issue. Make sure you are using down version and not the most recent update. I had same issue, rolled back using my titanium backup version to 1.4.1 and all is well with netflix.

As to some of the other video issues if you are trying to play local files, a lot of this may be due to a lack of video codecs. I know I can play full profile 720P mp4 on my SGS2 but I get nothing on touchpad...chalking it up to a codec issue that hopefully gets resolved down the road.

Just followed your recommendation and rolled back with titanium and Netflix works now. Thanks!
I've run into a problem a couple of times with the YouTube app where you play a video and then close/switch to something else and the video keeps playing.
Checked with Advanced Task Killer and killed Youtube and all other apps, but the video sound keeps going.
Turned off the nook using the power button, screen closes but the sound from the video keeps going even when screen is asleep.
I checked services and shutdown all apps, and the sound from the video is still playing.
Its really odd. Only way to get the Nook to stop playing the video sound was to reboot the nook. Any ideas? Using latest cherry picks.
Thanks.
If you used titanium backup to install it, uninstall it. Download from the play store to install. I had the same problem, but this fixed it. Let me know if it worked for you
Sent from my NT running Kuzma's CM10.1
Will try and post back.
I have had this happen as well and it seems to be repeatable. At least for me. If the NT has been freshly booted I don't have any issues. If it has been up and running for several days and a lot of use it seems like a slow memory leak causing things to run slower and slower ultimately resulting in failure to properly close apps.
Sent from my CM 10 SD nook tablet. Thanks devs.
haven't had the issue crop up yet since reinstalling youtube from the store. Will know in a few days as the nook runs for a few more days for memory leak.
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
Hi guys,
I had this problem with my z1 which was hard bricked. But I have this now on my z2 and it drives me crazy.
Whenever I try to volume down when I watch a video or playing a game or on many apks, it stops the video. It's obviously caused by an apk but I don't know which one. I'm in safe mode now. I played a video on YouTube apk and the problem is gone. I factory resetted my phone two days ago. I'm on 5.1.1.
Do you have any idea what the issue could be?
New update on problem:
I thought it was about the hardware keys. No it's not. I installed notification volume control bar on my z2. Same problem keeps happening. I'm pretty sure it's a software related. Probably one coming with 3rd party. Everything is smooth in safe mode. I don't know which one causes it and I have no idea how to find it.
It's for sure software, as I never had this problem. Try freezing all apps that you think may do this (or maybe even all apps) and after checking if it's fine defreeze few apps every time and repeat this procedure. It takes some time, but it will help you find the app that is responsible for that.
PS. Don't forget to manually launch the apps after defreezing them.

I uninstalled a few media playing apps today. Then I restarted the phone. So far so good. ES Explorer, MX Player are the ones uninstalled.
Mx player doesn't cause this problem for me.
Sent from Xperia Z2
Luckily not from an iPhone = Yesterdays technology at tomorrows prices
Then it should be ES Explorer. I haven't reinstalled either of them. I missed the peace of mind while playing media and games
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??
