I've experienced this issue before, but I've LGNPST'd a few times since for various reasons, not because of this, and it seems to clear it up each time. Youtube is fine, I have yet to have an issue with that, but when I'm running an internet browser and choose to play a video where it does not request me to pick a player, the clip will play for a few seconds, then the screen goes black but is backlit. Now if I touch the screen, the clip is view-able again for a few seconds and then will go back to the black backlit screen. Clip isn't pausing, just the image is cutting.
Currently I'm running stock JB (not a ROM), rooted and unlocked running TWRP 2.4.4 with CM 10.1 on my storage. It seems that I notice this only after rooting\unlocking or after a ROM gets installed even if I flash back to stock.
Has anyone else experienced this? Can anyone offer suggestions? If I can provide more info, let me know.

I experienced this too.
I just decided not to use chrome and use the default browser, it work's perfectly fine there.
I'll give that a shot. Hadn't really considered it might just be a chrome issue...

I had the same problem until I read some where here to check disable hw overlays under developer options. It works just doesn't stick after reboot.

I just got my Note 10.1 2014 (LTE) and tried to test a bit. So, new Galaxy with Nova launcher.
I have found YouTube videos don't play smoothly. I see freezing screen (not extreme, but just not smooth).
I did also try Vimeo app and I am having the same issue.
Do your YouTube(HD) videos play smooth and is there anything I can do about to make them play smooth?
I dont have problems with those apps maybe try to enable "force gpu rendering" in developer options. Just as an idea even if I think this wont have a big effect

It does not help. My YT videos are still freezing
An other guess after a bit of reading : disable hardware overlays in developer options. Seems to fix the problem for a few users

I experience the same as you. But not as often . Sometimes the app itself freezes and sometimes it says connection lost. I have to wait a while or close and restart the app..
I have a problem with youtube video not streaming smoothly, every 5 seconds or so it stops to buffer, does anyone know how to fix this?
YouTube videos are pretty much unwatchable since I bought my tablet

I have the same problem with youtube app. Video stops every five seconds...

This is going to sound weird, but try signing into YouTube.
I had the same issue with video playback "network errors" ... after I signed in? Poof ....
My youtube app was useless since it would take like a minute to load and then keep freezing so I decided to change my Internet connection (fortunately at I have two different internet connections in my house) anyways the first had more than enough bandwith to play youtube videos but it just didn't want to so I changed to my other wifi connection and now youtube app works smoothly.
Try a different connection at a friends house or if you have two try the other and it should work, still don't know why youtube didn't work on the first one - could be router and Note don't like each other but honestly I have no idea.
Just lost the ability to cast my screen to chromecast which us really annoying... Haven't really changed anything, running Cloudy 2.5, I can see the chromecast and reboot it via the app, but it doesn't show up when casting. Installed 20U and casting works so it must be something eith my rom or apps.
Anyone resolved this before or got any ideas?
Stock ROM, not rooted. Device worked fine before Marshmallow, now Netflix and MX Player both freeze video after approx 10 seconds of playback. Netflix customer support was no help but it really does seem to be something that Google broke with Marshmallow.

OTA or fresh install? I did a fresh install and don't have any problems.

I have the same issue with Netflix - audio streams fine but video stutters and then freezes after a few seconds. MX Player works perfectly for me though. Youtube also works fine, and I've streamed baseball games and highlights from the MLB AtBat app without issue.
I'm rooted and updated to Marshmallow using an OTA update file.
Other than the Netflix issue I find Marshmallow fantastic. Everything seems snappier and smoother. USB OTG mounting works flawlessly, even after uninstalling Stickmount. Battery drain during sleep is almost zero. I also no longer have resolution issues when outputting video using a SlimPort adapter - I used to need a ResolutionChanger app but no more.
My feeling is that the issue is with the Netflix app - it was updated for compatibility with Marshmallow but it is probably in need of further updates. Here's hoping.

Aha! Good to know. I did a no-wipe update using NRT. After trying to revert back to 5.1.1 using NRT no-wipe, I ended up doing a factory reset
I'll try to upgrade now and report back.
On my Nexus 7 the apps BBC and ESPN along with Netflix and Google Play Movies & TV are all show video issues. The video on BBC and ESPN will only show in the lowest resolution (144p), while on netflix the video stutters and stalls while audio keeps going. On Google Play movies & tv video lags but only while streaming, if I download a movie it plays fine.
I made a bug report on AOSP issue tracker #189772 I have a feel that the issue is apps not caching correctly since the update to Marshmallow.
IDK...otherwise I love Marshmallow...I miss viper.
Running
ROM: Bad Boyz Nexus 7 stock rooted v2

Sorry, Netflix is still freezing for me. However, other video services work fine.

i did a clean install. directly after flashing the 6.0 factory image, and installing the netflix app on the fresh sytem, everything works fine. even after rooting it is still working. but as i left the N7 alone for some time and then started netflix it started lagging like hell. without having canged a thing...
you need to disable battery optimising for video apps, as soon as i did that videos worked as usual.
settings, battery, three dots(top right), battery optimisation, tap not optimised then all apps, select the video apps and select Don't Optimise.
I havent tried all apps but it work for me on google movies.
Disabling battery optimization did not help for me with Netflix, unfortunately.
Same issue. Netflix freezes with marshmallow update Nexus 7 2013. Sound will continue to play, but video stutters and freezes.
Turning off battery optimization does nothing.
Any other suggestions out there other than flashing back?

There has been a recent update to Netflix (3.15.2), has this addressed the issue?
Sadly, the latest Netflix update has not resolved the issue for me. All other streaming apps have (so far) worked fine. This was after a clean flash, stock everything, and a factory reset after discovering the issue, just to make sure.
The new Netflix update didn't resolve this issue. Every other app is working as intended.
Netflix and Google Play Movies and TV still stutter and lag while espn and NBC News video will only show in the lowest resolution. MX plays fine when playing a video file on my nexus, idk about streaming. All my video issues come solely when streaming.
Same issue here. Nexus 7 on Marshmallow fresh install. Everything works but Netflix. Battery non-optimization didn't work
Just got a Netflix update and while the issue isn't entirely resolved the app stutters a lot less, to the point that I would deem Netflix to be at least marginally watchable.
It's still freezing after a couple of seconds with the new update. Archer on Netflix was running fine, but Dr Who is freezing.
Just to add to the count, Netflix borked on Marshmallow. Awful stuttering. Clean install i.e. deleted all caches etc. and started as though it was a new device.
Just got off a chat with support:
So, yes I confirmed and we are currently testing it. You should get it working once we are done

Basically they are aware of the issue and are testing a fix.
I also have a video issue, but it is different. When I watch Youtube, many times the video will freeze while the audio continues to play. I've tried FC'ing the app, restarting, etc... but the video part of the playback keeps freezing. If I let the audio play eventually all playback will stop and it will tell me that it is buffering.
This does not happen on any other device on my network... just the Nexus 7. This has been happening since Android L, and even after I did a clean install of M. Any suggestions?
same here, the new update didn't solve the problem. but at least its good to hear that netflix is working on it.
I tried looking online and couldn't find anything. On my ZE551ML running CM 12.1, whenever I try to screen cast to my Chromecast, it's just black on the TV. Tried a few other devices and they work fine. Just the Zenfone 2.
screen casting works fine on stock rom, might be cm related
