Hello, I am having a problem playing podcasts. When I start a podcast it plays for a few seconds, then the sound cuts out but the playback continues and silent seconds go by. This happens in Podcast Addict, Podcast Republic, and happens in Apollo with downloaded podcasts as well. I don't really know why this is happening and I haven't found any way to troubleshoot the problem. Other audio/video streaming services such as Spotify, Netflix, and Youtube work perfectly. The only problems I am having with playback is with podcasts, it doesn't matter which app I use to play it. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix my problem?

Hello, and welcome to XDA! I asked the moderator to move your thread to make user-generated answers available
The build you are using is experimental and has battery drain issues. Check the bugs list. Some of the framework modules and APIs conflict with each other, and some third-party apps like the ones you are using don't fully have Lollipop support yet
I recommend switching to KitKat until there is a more stable and usable ROM. I checked out the ROM thread for the version you are using and the ROM is still in the Alpha testing stage. Not even beta. Along with alpha comes unstable.
I think that a lot of noobs (I'm not saying you are one) have issues with trying to get the latest and greatest, however the latest and greatest doesn't always work properly.
Best move: Switch to KitKat.
Hope that helps, and don't forget to use the Thanks! button.

Thanks. I'll just use my old phone that has KitKat for it in the meantime while it is getting fixed.

Just want to start off by saying that this phone is amazing besides the LOS. Well back on topic.
I have the updated version of youtube that was provided here on the forum. I downloaded it and installed. Ever since i installed it i noticed that i can play a YouTube video and turn off the screen and the video will continue playing. Now i can listen to some music that have remixes but are not available to download using the app.
What is yall's opinion on that. Good or bad?
Sidenote: i use wifi

I believe this is a feature because I was recording a video yesterday and when I did a playback the sound was still going while the screen was black.... Maybe its just to save backlight battery life
I would say its a bug. Sometimes when I am watching a flash video on the web browser and I exit the browser (and I mean even kill the browser in the task manager) the video audio will play until the end of the video. I think they've got bigger fish to fry with this LOS, but after that's solved, I intend to bring this one up.
Hi people,
i have only recently started using the onboard music player for my MP3's.
When I pause it, then go back to it a while later (usually more than 10ish minutes) when i play again the start position can be up to 3 or 4 minutes before where I stopped it. It's like dejavu a lot of the time.
I had to do a full reset the other day, and the problem is still the same.
And it applies to audio that has been converted by a variety of different sources.
Andy suggestions as to what it could be (or as a final point, a great small basic music app)
Thanks in advance
(and yes, my phone always locks so the start position shouldnt be changed whilst jangling in my pocket)

I'd recommend "MortPlayer" from the market. Great basic player with a good equalizer, and it plays by folder so if your tags are incorrect it won't mess up your albums.
Edit: Oh, and it's free. Always a bonus.
thanks, ill give it a go. Although any insight to the odd behavior of the stock player would be great.. if anyone has any ideas?
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
I'm running PA 3.69 as found here and I find whenever I stream music through Play Music, the UI gets extremely choppy. Closing Play Music does not fix this, nor does killing the task. Only rebooting the phone, or, strangely enough, playing a full screen video on YouTube/Netflix does.
Of course, I'm new to this site so i can't post in the thread to ask why/notify them of this issue, so I'm wondering, has anyone else encountered this? It didn't happen on stock or CM10. I use my phone to play music quite a bit so it's a dealbreaker for this rom which I'm enjoying quite a bit.
Same here, using PA 4.4 (4.4.4) and lastest version of google play music (moto G)

Hey, try to Uninstall xposed if you got one, maybe it's the case. (so it was for me)
I'm sorry if this is not the right thread to post it(I've searched extensively in this thread but to no avail), but I have 2 main issues with the KitKat ROM for my GNex.
FIrst of all is the issue regarding locking your screen when playing music. When I'm playing music and locking the screen, the phone will suddenly stop the music suddenly and then resumes. This gets quite irritating but I don't know if this is normal KitKat behaviour.
Secondly is that 720p playback with MX is very laggy. In my experience with stock, I've seen better peformance out of the player, and I'm kinda weirded out by this.
I'm using the stock kernel, and what not. The only app that I use that effects many apps is Greenify(Oh, and I don't greenify the music app).
Even I did a clean flash the problem persists.

I know that MX player was having issues with early builds of CM11 but don't know the particulars for Playfulgod's rom. I would try and flash another CM11 based rom and see if you have those same issues, if not you can boil it down to that particular build.
Hi,
I am having serious issues playing videos on the device. The stock players (photos and movies apps) won't play anything I get through whatsapp (mostly sent from iOS devices), many vids from YouTube, nor the sample videos which were pre-loaded on the phone (?!?).
I downloaded MxPayer and VLC, which mostly solved the problem, but I'm still having problems with the YouTube app. In case it helps, here is an example of a video I can't watch (my one-year old's favorite): http://youtu.be/VMl0GbiVEyA.
The phone is brand new, arrived 4 days ago. I'm running the latest firmware (Kit Kat, build 14.4.A.0.108), which the phone prompted me to install. It is not rooted and I hope to keep it that way, at least for a while.
Any ideas? Is anybody else experiencing this?
Thanks!

I use vlc as only videoplayer (deleted all others), vlc plas all videos for me. The video you mentioned I can't see here in Germany due to copyright issues.
Thanks, but what about YouTube? How do you force the YouTube app to use VLC as the default player?

i use firefox as browser and use youtube from there. I don't use the the you tube app.
Ah, ok. Well, if anybody has a solution, that would be great. I really like using the app, would be a shame to have to use the browser.
I'd do full wipe of the Phone and start over by flashing a ftf. Z1 Compact Resource Thread -|-Rooting-BL Unlocking-Firmware & More...
Thanks, but as I said, not rooted, and trying ypto avoid going down the road of endless tweaking and customization.
I downloaded a few alternative YouTube players, and they all work fine. I'll choose one and see how it goes. Want to know if I can go " average Joe stock" user this time around.

You don't need to be rooted to flash your Phone, the flashtool would be pointless otherwise. Install the flashtool, flash a ftf, done, it's as simple as that.
