Normally I would say bad maybe a bad rom, but you say you have this on all roms.
Only in youtube?

No, get this on almost all players barring some exceptions. I get this on MX Player too unless change the decoder to S/W decoder. You're using the same phone as me, are you sure you're not getting this at all?

No problem here with all the roms I used and tested.
Like I said it could be a rom/driver problem, but when you have that since day one on every rom then I would be thinking of a hardware problem

I used to be able to watch 720p video without any problem in MX Player, but after switching to Jellybean the picture is choppy. If I switch to software rendering instead of hardware it improves somewhat, but it's still choppy at least every other minute or so until it recovers. If I play it in the VLC beta I get artifacts every now and then until it works itself out.
Anyone recognize this issue and has any idea what to do about it?
Probably best to wait till we have a full version and not just a developer preview leaked version.

Well, that wasn't very constructive. I'm perfectly aware it's a leaked version, I'm just wondering if it's a known issue first of all and secondly if there's anything to do about it. If the only answer you can give is "don't use leaked/unstable roms" then you might as well not answer at all.
Not an expert at this but I think it's because the codec with MX or VLC player isn't optimized for JB yet?
I'm using a T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S2 on CM11 with TWRP. I cannot seem to get video recording or playback (although I am not very sure about video playback, I've only received pictures in the past while) to work. With an older version of Snapchat, video recording appears to work but then right before I am about to send the video, a message pops up and says that it cannot play the video. Is this related to "Camcorder does not actually record to storage" in the TeamChopsticks "Known Issues That Will Be Fixed"? If not, is there a way that I can fix this?

I've been having this problem with all jellybean ROMs, including stock.
I'm with ya, most likely a Jellybean problem. So if you absolutely need it, maybe revert to an ICS rom or go to stock.

Okay...so I just got snapchat. Never used that before...LOL. So im guessing when you record the video...it dosent play back, right? Do you get to the part where after you record and it plays back? Or is it when you send....it dosent work at all? I havent sent one yet...but I will test more...but I had a camera problem and combined a lot of peoples ways to make it work. I can record at 1080p, I can watch what i filmed, and my gallery dosent FC and reboot phone. I am on UB4.0final, but that camera had issues so I did some research and tested stuff out and now I have what I have...LOL. Let me know if I was right bout the video play back after you record or is it just sending and I will try to help you guys out best I can

the only fix I've found is to use an older version of snapchat , but you unfortunately lose many of the newer features
You wouldn't happen to have an older version would you

working version
I have had these problems too, I find that the version that works is SnapChat 3.07, lets you use front and rear cam for pics and video with no issues.
I just googled for the APK
Im running CM 11 nightlies. I think it's something to do with video framework. I have similar problems with the Tiny Chat app.
I tried googling but couldn't find it could you pm me a link

My Acro S is running Beanstalk 4.4.278. Great rom so far but 1080p playback (specifically on MX Player) does not work. Freezes and reboots my phone when I try. 1080p recording with latest Google Camera works like a charm but its frustrating I can't view any of them. I haven't tried playback on any other video players though. I removed the video player that came with KitKat or the rom btw so I can't try that too.
Any help or advice?

Just tried it (since I had never tried it before you mentioned it) and it works fine. The video is a little juttery, but I can live with that.
Running BeanStalk v4.4.285, on the same phone.. Kernel is 3.4.0-Evovle-v1.11+ [email protected]
I think you might want to upgrade to the latest version - that might fix it.

Any notable bugs on 4.4.285? I might upgrade if that will fix the playback problem and if there aren't any annoying bugs..

There are two that are a bit annoying (again, not everyone has these though, so you might get lucky).
1. Sometimes when a call comes in, the screen will either stay blank and take a while to light up (by which time the caller has hang up)
2. Sometimes streaming a video online (with any player, not just MX) will crash and force the device to reboot when you try to exit watching the video.
These are the two major issues that I find on my phone. Never the less, I still prefer this version to stock, so I have been using it for more than a month now and I am very happy.
Is honor 8 pro capable of playing X265 10bit 1080p hevc video?
I've tried samples from jelly fish with stock player, mx player n vlc. None works. Tested the same on friend's op3t phone n it played smoothly with stock player. Even X265 10bit 120mbps 4k video was played without lag on op3t. But this honor 8 pro cant even play 5mbps X265 10bit video?
So is this hardware issue on honor 8 pro?
Any suggestions??

So my phone has been updated to emui 8.0 and phone has been factory reset post update but this issue of non playing X265 10bit videos is still there.
Any advise?
1080p hevc mkv videos cannot be played with inbuilt player (due to colour distortion, though videos are played). With MX player, HW decoder is not supported; video automatically starts playing with SW decoder. With VLC full Hardware decoding is supported without color distortion (but still playback is not that smooth, sometimes even videos got stuck).
Overall video playback on honor 8 pro is poor. So don't expect much.

The chipset is surely capable but I don't know why this happens.
Vlc does play the video but if the video is skipped, it gets stuck on that frame.
Maybe because the kirin chipset isn't widely used and thus, there are optimisation issues with many apps. I get dropped frame rates almost in all games and this baffles me because the chipset is fairly powerful.
I am not buying device with kirin chipset again. Lots of optimization issues with 3rd party apps.

it would be really sad. u've contributed a lot to this community. to say this means we won't see you in the honor/ huawei section that often since they usually stick to their own processor.
but yes, it does seem sad that there's really not much optimisation... though for the GPU, it is still MALI, which is also on Exynos.
i can only hope things will be better and Huawei/ honor can really work with more developers.

I can't really say if that first line was sarcasm or not.
This device can't play any game without skipping frame rates. It lags pathetically on playing temple run 2.
There are clearly optimisation issues for 3rd party apps because they have optimised it exceptionally well for their own apps and the whole software. This ruins the overall experience because as the OP stated that a device with SD821 plays 1080p 10 bit x265 videos smoothly while this doesn't.
Exynos devices may not be relying from this same problem because Samsung sells those devices in a lot more number than Kirin devices.

why do you think it's sarcasm??
as for Exynos devices... they also use MALI GPU, though it's a diff variant of the chip. still, if they can get it optimised... i guess we can hope it's the same for Huawei/ honor. after all, Huawei/ honor is also one of the top manufacturers in the world right now.

I felt it was sarcasm because I don't think I have done anything major for the community here. I am not a dev [emoji12]
I haven't used an Exynos device. So, I am just guessing. Yup, I know they both use the same GPU but with lesser number of cores though. Maybe that's the root cause of this or it's just pure optimisation problems, don't know because reviews didn't show any such issues with this device. I am really confused.

Yes even i am also confused as reviews shows no such issues but it can be possible that not many ppl really tested these specific vidoes on this device. Hence I posted screen recordings of my phone. Need some more testers to see if I m the unlucky one.
Stock player plays video smoothly but with lot of color distortion. VLC just hangs after 1sec and MX player plays through SW decoder with lot of stuttering. XPlayer from Google play plays video much better but still stutter a lot. Overall you can't play x265 10bit HEVC videos with higher bitrate n framerate and of higher file size on our H8Pro. What a disappointment. I tested the Jellyfish sample video which was around ~33mb and main10
Not only in hevc, x264 video playback also have a bug. The 'blacks' are not shown properly in HW decoding of MX player or inbuilt player or VLCs full Hardware decoding or any app using internal codecs including video playback in YouTube app. There is a permanent 'tint' over video (only video screen) when played in these ways. The tint is absent in SW decoding mode of MX player which means the fault is in internal decoding.
To check this pause a black scene of widescreen video (so that there are top and bottom black bars). The black bars are distinctly visible in inbuilt player (and other playbacks that use internal decoding); But screen is full black (black of screen becomes same as that of bars and so can not be distinguished) when SW decoding of MX player or VLC (No harware acceleration) is used.
Not only blacks become greenish black but all colors become slightly dull compared to actual.
This most probably wasn't before oreo update.
Also there is one more magic to it. I tried to attach screenshot, but the screenshots are clear (tint is absent), even when screen recording is on tint dissapears and reappears as soon as screen recording is turned off.
I had to take shot from another phones camera. Pics in attachment is of same black scene (video paused). Screenshot is completely black while photograph shows how it actually appears (distinct top and bottom stripes).
Eye comfort or display color settings has nothing to do with it.
I already reported this issue to honor customer care but I don't think it would do anything.
Anyways, there is NO way to fully enjoy videos in our honor 8 pro. We have to just accept this. To avoid frustrations: stop downloading x265 video, stop comparing with other phones and simply accept what we have.
So after I bought this phone, I've found an issue while it's small, it's still super annoying.
The hardware video decoder tends to over sharpen the videos. It's happening on YouTube, Netflix, MX Player, and probably any video player that takes advantage of the HW decoder. But if you uses the SW decoder, you won't find the oversharpening effect happened.
I made the comparison there: https://slow.pics/c/39Wjz6wS
if you can't open the link, you can compare it on the attachment below.
The oversharpening effect looks unnatural and ugly. It's even worse if you watched it on the phone. Especially if you use the full screen option. (e.g.: fit to screen on MX Player, and full 1080p on YouTube app)
I'll already reported this on the feedback app, and if you think this a dealbreaker, please report it too on the feedback app.
Thank you.
There's also many people on MI.com thread that complained about this. So yeah...
Yeah this problem is very big for me and I already report the problem long time ago since MIUI 10. They still not fix the problem in MIUI 11.0.3. Let's hope they will fix the problem in Android 10 update.

With the releases of Redmi Note 8 Pro custom rom, are any of you still have the oversharpening issue, or it's gone when you installed the custom rom?
If it's gone then, it's a MIUI fault.

AFAIK for Video Playback oversharpen. .disable HW overlays on Developer Options was help a bit. But need to re-enable every reboot.
Oh i almost forgot this issue, BUT.. It is fixed on MIUI 12 China Beta. Sorry for late reply because i just realizing this couple days ago.
Video Playback on any platform, Like Youtube app is great, not oversharpened anymore. Dunno about AOSP ROM tho', but this must be bug on MIUI 11 i suppose..

(( But HEVC ( H.265 ) video working in MX player without over sharpening problem (( but for H.264 video problem still exists )
Sorry not solved ( indian rom )

Don't use HW decoder, use SW decoder to remove the oversharpening effect. I think it's caused by Mediatek hardware decoder settings.
