problems with video playback - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

not native, but both flash and now the new netflix app.
on most videos i watch on the internet (yes, it's what you think), i can rarely get the video to show, but the audio always works.
now that i've gotten the netflix app, it does the same thing.
this started when i went from CM7.0.0 to CM7.0.2 and now to CM7.0.3
i've tried fixing permissions, anything else to try?

mods, please delete this. the thread next to it had a solution.

Anyone know what I should change in Build.prop

Ever Since I upgraded to Froyo I am having trouble streaming some mp4 videos to my Phone. They play fine for about the first minute after that they get really Choppy. I read about the streaming Audio fix and tried the temp fix at this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=745320&highlight=edit+build.prop
Didn't seem to fix my issue. From what I can see there are all kinds of settings in the file. Does Anyone know where I can find out what they do?
I figure I can just start changeing things with setprop (which shouldn't stick after reboot) incase I set something I shouldn't and crash it.

[Q] Play audio, pause so that place is bookmarked. Return to play, bookmark is lost.

I noticed this issue in Google Listen.
I used to be able to download several audio podcasts, play one of them but decided to pause halfway and begin another podcast, pause the second one and then be able to go back to the first and resume playback.
Now it seems the bookmarking spot is lost and the audio restarts from the beginning. I thought it might be an issue with Google Listen so i uninstalled and reinstalled. No fix. I Googled a solution and none came up but I see a few people complaining of the issue from last year and I've seen recent posts saying the new Stagefright is at fault and is affecting other audio playback apps.
I was wondering if anyone has an idea what's going on and if it is an issue for most/all apps with bookmarking abilities. The MyPod app seems unaffected but I saw the Doggcatcher had an issue (and might have been fixed with an recent update)
I really like Listen as an audio podcast fetcher/player and would rather not give up on it.

[Q] Youtube: Audio but no Video

Hello and thanks for reading this!
I'll get straight to the point. My Wildfire won't play certain youtube video's anymore. It will start the video and I can hear everything. Audio is working perfect, the problem being that there is no video. The screen will just stay black. When trying to fast forward the video, the screen will show me that particular frame. The audio will continue fine, but then it will just show me that frame.
I've been having this issue for a couple of days now and it's driving me nuts. Sometimes after closing and opening the video, clearing the cache, force stopping the youtube app the video will randomly load. No telling what does the trick. It will work only for the next day to not work again. I already tried installing an alternative youtuba app, same issue. Trying to watch youtube video through Dolphin Browser, same issue. I even installed a new rom just trying to fix this issue, no luck. First video I tries immediately did the same thing, audio but no video. Is it my phone? Is it youtube? Does it has to do with the quality of the video's? I searched all over the internet, can't find a damn thing. Already searched through the entire forums. Does anybody know what's going on?

I'd appreciate any help!
tl;dr - Youtube is playing the audio without the video on certain video's. Even after reboot/installing new rom/factory reset. What do?!?
Are you playing the video in HD! If yes, try playing it in normal version!

Unable to stream video

So i got my g3 this monday, and I really love it, exept for the fact that I have been unable to stream videos. Youtube (both app and via chrome/browser), vimeo, snapchat; non of these work.
I am however able to play recorded videos.
Sometimes the app shows an error, sometimes the picture freezes but the audio continues and yet sometimes the phone resets.
Has anyone had similar issues/ have any idea what to do? Really don't want to return it, so that will have to be a last resort.
Not rooted, recently reset.

Question Can't play video files

Edit: I saw a solution of turning off Hey Google in another thread and that worked for the freezing issue
HOwever, I still can't playback recorded videos
and I discovered that after I try to playback a video, i can no longer record
Hey fam!
I just got this phone from eBay
It came with an unlocked bootloader running what appears to be a global rom, because it says it's an edge 30 and has play store and all that jazz
I'm having an issue where the sound/video will cut out or pause in apps though. It usually lasts about a second or so. Everything still works in the background, so it's not like the phone itself is freezing. For example, the slightly animated background in Apple Music keeps moving even when the sound cuts out.
Youtube videos have the sound and video hang constantly
Any tips on how to fix this, or should I just flash a chinese rom back to it?
Edit:
I just did a test with recorded content
I was able to record a video with no issues at all. Camera feed stayed stable the entire time. Trying to play it back, after about a second or two it hangs and errors out saying can't play video
Just in case anyone else is having issues
installing https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/convert-to-global-rom.4400275/post-86861259
fixed this for me. Phones works great now
Now I just need to figure out how to get/install updates since my bootloader is unlocked
