[Q] Dropped frames in Youtube app - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is anyone else noticing choppy performance and dropped frames in youtube videos? 1080p60fps in particular. I have it since the last update to the app which coincides for me with updating to 20B stock Marshmallow. So not entirely sure what is to blame.

Video recording is out of sync

So, I have an EVO running Myn Z 2.2. I decided to do my first video blog for Big Fat Loser, and when I finished recording I noticed the video is way out of sync.
Any idea on a fix? I tried using software to resync it, but it gets progressively worse, and the software I found would just let you lag the video by so many miliseconds.
Here is the Video
Any suggestions?
Bump because im impatient
is it just this one video? Could have just been a glitch.
It could very well be related to the kernal. What kernal are you using? Are you using anything to set CPU speed or profiles?

All video freezes after Marshmallow update

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.

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.

YouTube Stuttering

I have the AT&T G4 and I'm using the latest firmware and the latest update for YouTube. I've noticed this for the past few versions of YouTube and I haven't been able to fix it. I can watch videos for roughly 20-30 minutes and then the video starts freezing and acting like it's loading but it's already loaded most of the video (100+mbps wifi) and it doesn't stop, I can close the app and reopen it and it continues. I have to set it aside for a while before it stops doing it. I don't think that its a ram problem and I'm thinking that its a overheating issue, I'm wondering if anyone else is having this problem and are there any fixes or workarounds?

Netflix issues with Fire TV stick since latest firmware?

I noticed in Netflix that I've been getting skipped frames, and even the occasional frozen screen since around the time of the last firmware update a couple weeks back. It is most noticable in the beginning of the video. In addition, the stick seems locked to 720p (in everything). In the settings I have tried changing the video output from "auto" to 1080p/60, but things still display 720.
Anyone have similar issues since the latest firmware on the FTV stick?
can not confirm your issue... my girlfriend looks today a Video in netflix (Germany) and no skipping frames or other issue
Stick have latest Firmware
Thanks, guess maybe I'll have to wipe the stick.

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.
