For the past few days, Netflix is very choppy in my G Pad 8.3. Stock software with latest version of Netflix app. My WiFi connection is stable and other streaming apps (YouTube HD videos, Crackle) work just fine.
Is anyone else having the same problem? Any tips?
Thanks...

Yes same problem, Google search brought me to this thread. I honestly didn't think it would matter, but I rebooted my G Pad and the stuttering went away!
The lip-sync issue is finally gone since the last Netflix update. Best of all it is now in full HD.
Edit, scratch the full HD comment. I just updated Netflix to the current version and full HD looks to be gone again.
Same problem here too. Reboot didn't seem to help much...

To start with im running a rooted evo (duh) and fresh evo 3.0.0.1
it was doing this prior to root..
It seems like no matter if i'm on wifi.. 4g.. or 3g.. the video constantly whether it be youtube or another video thats using the streaming media player.. it more than half the time will either give me a "sorry this video could not be played" error.. or the "sorry there was a problem playing this video"..
I've searched as much as i could bring myself to without going insane. So far i've read that stagefright settings could cause this. The cache not being cleared.. and that the youtube app just plain sucks..
So, what im trying to gather is first and foremost.. is this a known issue.. or is my phone messed?
thing i dont get if this is a known issue.. is this.. GOOGLE BUILT ANDROID.. and google flipping OWNS YOUTUBE.. why would is be an issue? lol
Any help would be great.. and if this is a known issue.. a sticky might be nice so others like myself dont go insane wondering why the iphone plays video flawlessly on youtube.. while the evo's youtube player simply sucks (so far from my experience.. )
please no flaming.. haha
79 views so far.. could someone at least post whether they're having the same issue or not? or someone they know? i assume i'm not the only one out there if theres that many people lookin at it in less than a day..
update though, i was running fresh evo 3.3.0.1... i am unrooting my phone now just to make sure its not something wonky with root.. i called sprint and talked to a rep, they said to just bring it in to see a tech.. honestly, side note.. the store where i got my phone from.. not the best customer service.. at all.. very short on the phone with every question.. etc.. blah. anyways.. ill keep updating as this moves forward.. hopefully this thread will help someone get some answers if i dont haha
Thanks..
The youtube app is crap. It has nothing to do with rooting. Until they offer an update you should use a browser to open the youtube videos. This will not trigger "a problem playing video" dialog crap.
I can't use the app for that same reason. Happens with certain videos, I think the ones that are "not optimized for mobile" or some such. I can watch them from my browser without issue.
I've been having the same issue for weeks now. I also have exclusively switched to watching videos in the browser. Never have a problem there. The YouTube app DEFINITELY needs an update. Especially with rewinding and fast forwarding videos.
ahhh good so its not just me. By using the browser do you mean loading it in desktop view? and playing via flash? im unrooted now and using dolphin HD.. much better browser imo.. however using the m.youtube.com site still crashes videos.. seems like any video i stream crashed out or can't play.. i'll try the desktop mode and see if i can get them to play in flash instead of the streaming media player..
Thanks
it must be the crappy roms you guys are using or you have poor coverage/reception/bandwidth.
The Youtube app works great for me. It plays everything in HD just fine. I used to have problems with it not playing videos on some older roms, but anything from the past couple months should be just fine.
I would die if I had to resort to using the browser to access Youtube.

The mobile youtube page isn't actually too bad - it's tons better then the regular youtube page, and is almost as usable as the app. But if you have stagefright set to false to fix pandora, then the mobile page won't work and you'll get that "could not be played" error.

I'm using the stock ROM, and have this problem.
I'm wondering if Netflix is broken for any of you.
By broken, I mean that when you open Netflix, it stays on the Spinning wheel for loading. And apart from that, since it doesn't go to login, you get an error, ALSO after all that, it kills your connection to WiFi/Data. I have to uninstall the app just to get Data back, or reboot.
I notice a lot of comments from the same device with the same problems. Any one have any ideas?
Which ROM?
Sent from my One V using xda app-developers app
Seems to happen in all for me. Custom Sense, Stock, CM9, and 10.
It seems to be the latest update judging on the comments in the market.
I recently installed the PACman ROM from the one v CDMA development section here in the forum, its a paranoid/aokp/cm10 hybrid, look it up its freakin great. Any way Netflix works great in that one
Sent from my One V using xda app-developers app
netflix (from past experience on the evo) typically only works on stock roms. i cant say if it works on the hov custom roms (cm, aokp, pacman, etc) but i had also heard that the new update messed up netflix. maybe they will fix it in the future. i only use netflix on my wii so i cant tell you how it runs for me. (as i havnt ran it on my hov yet lol)

Working fine here, just tested it.
Stock ROM, as per sig (primoU), used both hspa and wifi.
Does Netflix check for root like google play movies?

anybody get NFL rewind working on the GS3? I have been using the firefox all year to watch 2012 games. In the last week or so, it stopped working. Only plays for about 10 seconds and then freezes.
it seems like the handling of the internet stuff has changed. Not clear if it's on their end or mine. I am running the lastest MOAR ROM. I also did a factor reset and cleared cache's without help. also loaded stock MD4, and didn't work.
any other ideas on why there would be a change?
A search and discussion from elsewhere on XDA indicates that the App will not work on rooted phones. Just from what I have read anyhow.
Unless your on TPR

Thanks, but I was asking about nfl rewind, not nfl mobile. I had been watching games using the firefox web browser. The nfl rewind app only works on tablets as far as i can tell. I must have been the only one using the subscription on my phone's web browser.
stopped working a week or so ago.
Ok. So I did a lot of searching and I found a program that seems to work. However, it's choppy on my connection. My wifi is slow. Is there anyone out there with fast Internet that can try it? I am using the slowest comcast speed. So if you have rewind and faster Internet, please try and report back.
I got it running with photon browser. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appsverse.photon

The Nexus 7 (2013) can now do full screen casting through Chromecast - I've done it, but the delay between the device and the Chromecast is pretty bad. There is a good 4-6 second delay between the two. It starts off perfect, but quickly slows down. Just wondering how anyone else's experiences are.
I get about 1/3 second lag. What's your router, any g devices?
Mine won't work, I just get FC of google play services (I read some others have the same issue, it's a cleanly installed 4.4.4 stock ROM), not a big deal, I'm not the type who needs to cast the screen from my device anyway, but it's nice to know it's there, it's a beta, so hopefully it will be addressed.
Mine works flawlessly. Little to no latency. I can play Clash of Clans on my TV :good::laugh:
Mine is also working perfectly, pretty cool
I use a Cisco ValetPlus (Wireless N). It's definitely not the router - but I haven't used my Chromecast in months prior to this, maybe it needs an update to enable WiFi Direct or whatever the new protocol is.
If it doesn't work at all, try rebooting the chromecast. Long lag might be interference, change router channel?

Yeah, tried hard rebooting, as well as resetting the chromecast, as well as my device, cleared cache, etc, it's simply broken for me.
If it helps:
Chromecast firmware 17250
Chromecast app version 1.7.4, also worked on 1.5.5
Google play services 5.0.84(1259630-036)

I have exactly the same versions. Weird.
Thanks for taking the time to post that though.
My cast screen works perfectly, depending on app in use I might see instances where the audio goes out of sync for a half a second, but virtually no lag whatsoever.
For those keeping score, I think my issue is due to viper4android, casting works fine in android L for me (where there is no viper installed), and based on the logcat in 4.4.4 when it fails it looks like the audio portion is where it crashes, this weekend I will copy my 4.4.4 rom to a secondary slot and remove viper to confirm.
Looks like I may be on the right track: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54073200&postcount=14279

Hi.
On my G3 D855, I can't stream videos from Dropbox / Carousel.
It does work only, if I favorite the movie so it downloads to my phone.
But real streaming doesn't work. It says things like I don't have internet connection or simply it can't play this movie.
But on my G2 or on my G-Pad 8.3 it does stream just fine. Using Dropbox since ages, I never had such issue until I came to the G3.
I contacted Dropbox support as I am a Pro User but they can't investigate because they don't have a G3 yet.
So I wonder if any of you could test so I know whether this is a bug or just a problem on my devices and wipe it.
Also when I try to stream from GDrive it works fine. YouTube works fine, everything. Just from Dropbox can't stream anymore.
Uninstalled and reinstalled it already, still no go.
Thanks for any help .....

LG released a Firmware update a few weeks ago and since then, it works.
So the issue was with LG and not with Dropbox / Carousel.
Good info. Was wondering why my videos streamed via my GS3 and not my ATT G3. I guess I'll just have to wait for ATT to release an update for us.
