i would check if "Power saving mode" is disabled and all the "Smart Screen" Samsung crap as well.
probably won't help but you never know
of course MX Player is always there for you to download and compare results, quality and ease of use

Mine does it too. I returned my 1st tab because it was so bad while watching movies, and if i used multi-window with a video playing in one window. The 2nd tab i got still does it, but not as often. It could be because I've updated firmware on this new tab to the newest available. It hasn't happened in a while (about 2-3 weeks), so hopefully it's fixed. Only way to get the screen back is to hit the power button off and back on. Try updating to the latest firmware and see if that helps. NG1 is the most resent.
I had the same issue with black screen with sound as well while using MX player. I switched to BSplayer free which works perfectly.

It was a 1280 x 720 mp4 that was not rendering a picture if that helps. I have nothing to do with BSPlayer but it was capable of playing the video.

Hi guys,
I am lokking for the video player app from Samsung Vibrant where I can look the screen during watching videos.
I haven't found any other player with this feather
Does anybody know the correct name of the app or can share it!?!
Thanks
Don't think anyone had successfully ported it yet
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Get mVideoPlayer from the market.
It's free, plays 720p downloaded mkv's without converting, not a problem, and supports external (only tried .srt) and internal subtitles. It's fast too.
I am searching for the look screen option, because when you would like to watch a movie and hold your phone in your hands, you may push a button.
And I think at the moments its the only app that have this feature.
So maybe anyone can port it

You can lock the screen with the power button (default videoplayer).
Locks screen and softkeys.
When you use the power button by Samsung Galaxy S the phone switch to sleep mode!
Thats strange. Mine locks the screen. Lock symbol appears in one corner. Pressing powerbutton again unlocks the screen. No matter if video started with videoplayer or through gallery.
I'm currently running JM5 firmware. Same behavior with stock JF3.

same JM5, same behaviour here, no need for third party app. the mVideoPlayer with subtitle capability is interesting though...
ionutz6: I think it's faster than the stock one, and has some "library" functions like bookmarks, remembers the time when closing videos, and mark the ones viewed (great for TV Shows).
And did I say it's free?
can this player do variable speed playback ?

Works fine with .ass subtitles too. I can't get it to play mkv internal subtitles though, I've got to use mkvextract and stick the files in the folder myself. Still can't find a player which will deal with multiple audio tracks either . Pain in the bum - means I've got to use mkvextract to rip out video, subs plus the audio track I want, then merge the vid/aud and keep the subs separate.
my default video player app supports has the lock feature by pressing the power button
and mVideoplayer also have a "lock controls" feature under the "more" menu

Whenever I play any 1080p or even 720p video, my video start lagging (little shutter) after 3 - 4 seconds for 1 second. Can you please let me know how can i fix this lag? I am using MX player with updated codec. V4.4
I agree.

My older Galaxy Note 2 Phone handles video (and most other things) a lot better than this Asus tablet. I am probably going to sell it. The KitKat rom is great, but the hardware kind of sucks.
Hardware Acceleration On?

Did you enable hardware acceleration in the settings? I'm not sure about MX PLayer but I get much better video with VLC Player with hardware acceleration on then off. Or just try VLC PLayer https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.videolan.vlc.betav7neon&hl=en using hardware acceleration if you want. It doesn't need any codec downlaods to play files as they are built in. It's still beta but I've had zero problems with it. I watch 1080p mkv files mostly.
Peace.
I have the 2013 Nexus 7 and clicking the link above for VLC says it's not compatible with my device and not available in my country. If anyone else has the same problem, you have to download the daily build here: http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/android-armv7/
People who are having problems with MX Player should try turning the "Software Decoder" on. The "Hardware Decoder" mode was lagging when I first used MX Player many months ago, but it doesn't lag when I use the Software Decoder. Maybe it's because the hardware in this Nexus 7 is not programmed to natively play every video format.
Hi guys, after updating Youtube to version 5.3.32, every single video played in youtube is pixelated, as if there is no video acceleration or post processing - please check the attached image
I have the Note 10.1 2014 P601, the Exynos version with 3G.
I tried to uninstall the youtube update and rollback to the factory installed youtube, and it works ok!
Anyone has this issue? and any ideas to fix it?
I have 5.3.32 and its fine however it does sometimes have a hissy fit, sometimes HD videos seem lower quality even though wifi bandwith is excellent.
And I also had an issue where it didnt even want to load videos but havent encountered that problem for weeks now. Tbh I just dont think the Youtube app has been properly intigrated with our tablet.

Hello all,
I've noticed that using the Chrome browser on my new Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1, when I try to play an embedded YouTube video, it will play just fine, both audio and video. However, when I click the button to maximize it and go full screen, the playback stutters and does not display an image/video playback; it just goes black (occasionally, even plays the audio, but no accompanying video). When I click the back button, wanting to give it another try, the embedded video says "video playback is not available at this time" or something like that. I refresh the page, and play the game again/try again...same results.
I tested if it was screen orientation. Interestingly enough, the videos that would not play in landscape (which is the "default" orientation) would play in portrait, but would have some crazy, intermittent vertical lines reminiscent of a scrambled/jumbled picture. It's awful.
I'm wondering if anybody else has experienced this issue and may have any helpful advice?
Thanks in advance,
senate

Having the same problem, anyone else experiencing this and knows how to make the problem go away? On youtube there is also a vid showing the problem, can't post it but you can find it under this title: Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1 sm-t520 video problem
I keep getting that kind of issue when I have Xposed installed. Try uninstalling xposed to see if that clears up the issue.

Dont have xposed installed, don't know what kind of program that is? The problem doesn't occur all the time. Btw the pro 10.1 has more bugs and random crashes, wish sammy would release a firmware update...
Samsung galaxy Tab pro 8", 10.1" or 12.2" video flickering problem [SOLVED]
To fix flickering in video:
Enable developer options in settings (go to about device and tap Build Number 7+ times).
In developer options, under hardware-accelerated rendering, check "turn off hardware overlays". You can also check "force GPU rendering", but I've found the former is all that's necessary.
I'm very sensitive to dropped frames etc in video, and it's immediately noticeable on my just-picked-up Tab Pro 8.4. Compared to my iPad Air, video playback is pretty atrocious by comparison. I recognize that a lot of people won't notice, but the difference to me is beyond obvious.
Does anyone have any solution to this? I had the same problem with my Nexus 7 (2013), and HTC One (M7).
Apps tested: YouTube, Plex, MX Player, ESPN app (World Cup, yay!)
I'm going to return the tablet if no solution is found, of course, but was hoping I was just missing something...
Cheers.
Maybe you're looking for something that's not there? I haven't noticed anything and mine is crystal clear HD even with 1080p video on Youtube. There are FPS programs that can test if you are "actually" dropping frames.

Nope I know I'm not looking for something that "isn't there," and I'm really not sure why that would be a helpful response.
I had a friend test his new Samsung Galaxy S5, and he sees exactly what I'm seeing.
I guess it doesn't bother most people. No biggie. I should have learned my lesson with my previous Android devices. I'll return the Galaxy Tab and be sure to avoid all Android tablets in future.
*edit*

Runs perfectly in iOS. Not so much on the Tab. You can see it dropping frames in the first 15 seconds. Yuck.
So, I just wiped the Tab Pro 8.4 to see if a fresh install would fix the issue. Of course, it doesn't, and it AMAZES me that nobody complains about these devices for video playback. It simply does NOT work. Stutter, stuttery, jerk, jerk. And that's just something as simple as YouTube..
Returning it to Best Buy in an hour. Total joke, and waste of my time.
Dude, my tab does not lag playing youtube or any videos at hd or higher resolution. Your video that you included as an example is a ****ty video! On my gaming desktop rig with nvidia gpu and hardware encoded flash the video in the first 15 seconds was stuttering, lagging and skipping frames because either it was in the video to begin with when uploaded to youtube, or it was encoded that way by youtube! Also youtube has been having issues as of late streaming back videos to any device!
Do not use youtube as a source for video playback on a newly purchased tablet. Download an 1080p clip that android supports or a 2560p clip and try it out. You will be amazed!

Once everything is.... "tweaked?"
My iPad, iPhone (and my iMac) have no trouble playing that video I linked you to, or ANY video (that I've tested) on YouTube, so don't make excuses! The Tab just can't handle it due to - what I suspect - poor video decoding implementation. I'm sure if Samsung/Google/Whoever bothered to fix this, it would be resolved, but... alas, it's not. Again, it's not just YouTube. It's Plex, the ESPN app etc etc. It's noticeably more jerky on the Tab than it is on any of my iOS devices. I even enabled the developer options on the Tab and tried turning on the 2D GPU hardware decoding (or something like that). Made zero difference.
To be more specific:
In this video: http://youtu.be/KmddgGPA2i0
When the camera pans down the back of the white BMW right at the start of the video, perfectly smooth on all my iOS devices - stuttering on the Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4. Seconds later where the white BMW goes around the corner in slow-motion? Perfectly smooth on all my iOS devices, - stuttering on the Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4.
I returned the Tab yesterday. Good riddance. I'm not settling for sub-par video performance on a supposed top-of-the-line tablet, sorry.
