Stock video player freeze the phone - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Hey guys,
Since Jelly Bean, I've been having issues with the stock video player. Whatever video I'm trying to play (and they all play fine usually), it sometimes freeze the whole phone. I have to restart the Nexus and then it plays fine.
I'm running stock 4.1.1 rooted and this never happened with ICS. Now it does that about once a day.
Any idea ?

[Q] Choppy video playback since 4.0.2 update.

When my GN was on 4.0 (stock non-rooted), all my 720p movies files played smooth as butter with MX Video Player. But ever since 4.0.2 update (stock non-rooted), all the movies files became extremely choppy, they are like slide shows, but audio is fine in all of them.
I tried both h/w and s/w decoders and results were the same. I even tried other players such as Mobo Player and Playerpro and still the same choppy playbacks.
Anyone else experiencing similar problems?
same here..also on stock fw..

They removed divx support if that's their format.

Great, looking forward to next year at the pace they're going for updates!
This sucks.... Makes me wonder why Google would do something like that...

One little issue with Google music player

One little issue with Google music player, see the screenshot...

Is this normal on Jelly Bean Preview and does others have same problem..?

I would not think this is normal for JB. I have not personally experienced this before.

Haven't experienced it.
I am not experiencing that problem. Factory reset? Or try a different music player from the Play Store.
Ok, Thanks for your replies. I try to fix it somehow and if I can't fix it then I have to use CM9 music player..

Google Play Movies WILL NOT Play my Movies.

So I have some purchased movies from Google. I recently tried to play one. It loads up, starts playing, and plays the first 9 seconds, buffers, jumps back to second 8 and boot loops between second 8 and 9 constantly. I went to Play Store and tried everything they suggested to troubleshoot the issue. Cleared cache. Pinned(downloaded the movie) for offline viewing. I even deleted it from system and reinstalled it. Nothing works. It plays 9 seconds and bootloops. I searched Google and XDA and couldn't find any threads relating to this issue. I have contacted Google directly and am awaiting a response.
Anyone else who can confirm this issue? Im running stock rooted LG8.

Correct Answer, you cannot play Google movies on a rooted phone or tablet, has to be stock. DRM(digital rights management) comes in to play which checks for root access, if root, then no play, because its easier to pirate a movie with root access

Not true, movies work on my rooted nexus7 and this phone as well. Google updated play to stop root issues and playback a couple months ago. I'm using cm10 on my phone and just downloaded all my movies as well as watched one, tablet is on paranoid ROM.
Earlier I was on codename, which would not let me download any movies.

Google made a big point last year (or was it hte year before?) to say that rooted devices will not be able to stream movies from Google.
I wonder if maybe AOSP ROm's like CM10 don't include the DRM APK's that would report on root to Google?
Still no response from Google. Still no movies streaming.
Google does allow rooted devices to stream. Im now running a stock jellybean rom leak. Still having the same exact problem.
I'm facing this issue too.. rooted deodex'd LJ7 build. I've seen some ROMs have removed DRM or something... Is that a way to get around this problem?
Try a different ROM. I am on free gs3 right now and just tested my movies, playback works fine.

Well this is troubling.. I flashed a stock odex'd rom and still facing the problem.

stock unrooted ROM did not present this issue.. Even after rooting no issue.
When I flashed a deodex'd rom is where I encountered this problem. This sucks lol

I'm on a Galaxy S4 rooted deodexed and no custom kernel lets me play movies past 9 seconds besides stock kernel.

Google music

After I upgraded to JB I can't access my Google music library on my Hox anymore. I can view it in a browser when using Tunnel Bear at Google play. I am still unrooted and on stock ROM cause I just got the phone back from repair and just want to see if its OK before I go with ARHD 18
Anyone have a solution for this?

[Q] video player in browser on CM11

Hello,
I can't write in the official thread because i don't have much messages, anyway.. i'm getting mad with the stock browser videoplayer , before the cm11 i had a stock 4.3 and when I tried to watch a video from the browser i had many player choices (gallery stock video player, es, etc etc) now with the cm11 I haven't this option, the video starts with a video player inside the browser (not the gallery video player but this http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2458365&d=1387219521 ) i also tried chrome but the problem is the same, i checked the app info associations but the button is grey (unclickable).. another boring thing.. is impossible to see a fullscreen movie with that standard video player, the phone goes in lock screen mode like if i not seeing a video (without the fullscreen is ok) how i can fix that problem? thanks guys, have a nice evening.
Regards.
I have the same problem with my galaxy s3 running cm11 and boeffla kernel its really hard to watch porn
