[Q] Youtube fullscreen loses player controls - Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble

I have a stock Rom Samasung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 (4.4.2). The YouTube app loses the player controls when watching videos in full screen. I do not have this issue with my Galaxy S5 smartphone (also 4.4.2).
Is anyone else experiencing this or have a fix?

Same problem. I have Tab Pro 10.1 LTE with stock rom (4.4.2)

Same problem on my Tab S 8.4. Seems to be the latest version of Youtube. Reverting to the previous version fixes the problem.

Same here with my Tab pro 8.4, I even did the firmware update and still have the problem

This worked for me thank you!
Unistalled the app (which actually keeps the app but takes away the update. Now my player controls are back when in full screen view.

Possible workaround
I read elsewhere of a workaround that seems to be successful for some folk using the updated app. The You Tube controls are not showing when you enter full screen in landscape mode. But users have found that when you enter full screen in portrait mode, the controls are there, and remain visible if you then rotate to landscape mode.

Latest YouTube update seems to have fixed the bug.

[Q] YouTube Playback on Nexus 7 2013 LTE (deb)

Hello.
In Alpha 1 and now also in Alpha 2 I can't get YouTube playback to work.
It'll either go into a loop where it refreshes the video again and again or just throw a "There was a problem while playing" error as soon as it tries to play it.
With other roms (CM12, AOSP) it worked just fine.
The funny thing is - the ads before videos play just fine they did, suddenly they don't
(For the record, I've disabled all ad-blockers and xposed modules and the problem persists, they're left disabled for the meantime until I solve this issue).
Has anyone encountered this?
Is there any other data I should supply in order to perhaps solve this?
Thank you!
I've got the same problem, using PA GAPPS and no other addons.
It would seem I have the same problem on my HTC One M8, with the latest PA stable version installed. In addition, sometimes the video will play, but only the sound.

Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 and chromecast cast to screen

Anyone else try to cast to screen with this? I keep getting a black screen and it just doesn't go. I am on Stock 4.4.2 with root.
Other casting like from YouTube and such apps work fine.
mine's working using stock rom only, but the problem is, it's been to laggy, even watching video or browsing to web is too lag too, i think the device can't handle the casting, oh yeah i'm also using chromecast app & the hardware also, i try using it on other custom rom but still no luck, it's still lagging....

Tab Pro 10.1 with LOS14: issues

I installed LOS14 on MY SM-T520 (Tab Pro 10.1) and its great. I only have 3 issues:
- I like to hold my Tab in different orientations and android rotates the screen likewhise. But the unlock-screen is not rotated and allways shows same orientation no matter how i hold the tab.
- I play some games on my tab with ad videos. In some games those videos are played in full volume for a fraction of a second even though my volume is low or off. This makes an irritating noise whenever one of the video starts.
- In some games android seems to overload the cpu regularly and the game hangs (graphic and sound) but only when the tab had been running for a longer time. When I then restart the tab everything works fine.
I had a CM on my tab before and I didn`t have any issues there. But CM is no longer supported or updated so I switched to LOS14.
Is there something I can do about these problems? Is there maybe a better CustomRom I could use that is regularly updated?

Netflix/Amazon Prime - not playing in HD

anyone else had this problem please ?
I have noticed the odd frame drop recently - not sure whether related to a new copy protection the Tab S struggling with
I have tried the Netflix test video - and it maxes out at 540p
any ideas please ? I've tried rebooting etc - I've checked Tablet DRM and it states Widevine L1 - so all should be good
has our Tab S been related to SD only for some services ?
non-rooted
to update thread - I've solved the problem
not sure if it is because I flashed NZ firmware when 6.01 came out as came out earlier than UK - or because not running completely latest firmare
but I downloaded latest UK BTU - did clean flash - and now Netflix and Amazon Prime playing in HD
Is this the answer to getting Netflix to run on the 10.5? I keep getting crashes on Lineage ROMs. Video can't play after a few minutes. Videos start at a low resolution. Then it gets better before the video stops.
I also have this issue. I haven't use my tab s 8.4 since it's getting slow over the years, but around a year ago or so Netflix was in HD (pretty sure of it). However I just found today that i wasn't, stuck in SD and maxium playback resolution tells me its SD in playback specification. All video always look Blurry as well. Check with Netflix compatibility list, my T705 is mentioned as compatible.
It's not rooted, and still stock rom.
