Note 8 trouble with embedded YouTube videos in Flipboard App - Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti

Hi there - I'm having trouble playing embedded YouTube videos in the Flipboard App on my Note 8. When I click on a video in a Flipboard article, the video box goes black and only the audio will play. This happens with every YouTube video I try to play in Flipboard articles, but non-YouTube videos play fine. I've tried restarting and closing all other apps, but nothing helps. I was wondering if anyone knew of a setting that might help fix this. Thank you.

[Q] Cannot Play video on facebook

Hello there,
why i cannot play video on facebook? it shows "Sorry,this video cannot be played"...why this happen? can anyone explain for me?? is it i'm missing some application to addon??
please advise.
thanks in advance.
Well I have same question y some videos don't work
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Same for me. I thought the newest version of the Facebook app enabled video playback within the app? When I select a video it gives me the option of opening with DoubleTwist or Streaming Media Player, neither of which work.
Could be down to video format, I get the same with some Youtube videos (normally WMV files)

Set MX Player to play web videos

Hi guys, I'm a new android user and I got a note 2 for a week now. How do I watch a web video on my mxplayer? I'm trying to watch the latest naruto episode from narutoget.com but whenever click PLAY on it, the video plays on the browser and there was no option that usually pops up to make Mx player as a default video player. I cleared defaults of the default internet browser in Note 2 but still doesn't work. Any ideas? I'd greatly appreciate your help guys!

Video stuttering

Hello everyone. At first I have to say that english isn't my first language so please be understanding.
I've just bought new Note 3 and was pleased with it, until I've found that something is wrong with playing videos. When I try to watch some videos(for example anime) online, it is stuttering. Audio is ok but video lags like hell. Lets take videos from www*auby*no/files/video_tests/ (sorry I had to change "." with "*" because I was unable to post link to another site )as an examples.First I tried playing them online using official player and MX Player(using hardware decoding and software decoding). Then I downloaded them and tried playing again. While playing online using official player, every movie except Shrinkage and Shrinkage 2 was choppy. Playing them with use of MX Player with H/W resulted int the same thing(video lags), but when I changed to S/W everything run smoothly(except first two movies). Next I downloaded them and again tried to play them with official player, and guess what? Everything was ok. The same was with MX Player with H/W and of course S/W.
I also tried to play movies online with worse resolution (480p) and they were ok but other videos with 720p were stuttering. I also tried to play video in 720p using mobile-friendly online player and had lags, but when I played THE SAME video using not mobile-friendly online player(with usage of Flash Player) it was ok...
So dear friends I don't know what to do so I am counting on your help, because I really want to be able to watch movies online on this badass screen.
Try DicePlayer. Still one of the best players IMO, and one of the few that can play videos directly off of Windows network shares (though I use ES File Explorer to browse and Dice to play)
No stutter here playing even 10+Mbps 1080p h264 over wireless from samba shares on my NAS. (Haven't tried 20Mbps yet)
Well, I've tried this DicePlayer and it is really nice but only with playing videos where I can choose which player to use. If I, for example want to watch a movie on dailymotion I can't choose if I want to use MxPlayer or DicePlayer or something else. I have to watch it using dailymotion player (right?) and using these kind of players make videos stutter. That's my problem.
Note 3 has a problem. Verizon and ATT versions also show stuttering when streaming video. I have it in YouTube and other videos that streamed from a website.
We shouldn't have to use third party players, especially when it's not even an option (can't choose one) or in the case of youtube it's an app. This is nonsense. Samsung needs to address this issue. How can we contact them? I've been trying to figure that out.

I never said it was every handset. But I've seen complaints regarding this issue on t mobile, verizon, att and the international version. I haven't checked others.
Try any hd video. They show it the most. But if you don't have the issue I don't expect you to see symptoms.
Try another browser with java support like maxthon

Ok. I've noticed another thing. Stuttering happens only with films in HD. For example I've played some film from vimeo in (probably) 480p and it was fine, but after playing it in 720p lags occurred. Also I've tried maxthon but it didn't help.
So, to sum up everything for now, stuttering occurs when I try to play HD films online, where I can't choose players like DicePlayer or MxPlayer and have to use "built-in" online players (for example on Dailymotion or Vimeo) and also when I try to play films online (which I can play using players on my note) using official player or MxPlayer with H/W or H/W+.
I talked to Samsung via Chat and the guy said he's never heard of this issue. I find that amazing since I've seen the complaints all versions of the Note 3.
We shouldn't have to watch videos in 480p and we shouldn't have to switch browsers. All this does is try to avoid running into a problem that shouldn't be there to begin with.
It's a high end device with a low end problem. Something is wrong. I suggest you all that are having issues to tell Samsung about it. Call or chat or do some type of communication.
I've talked with someone from samsung via live chat and he said that if phone doesn't have problem with playing films on sd card it isn't problem with phone itself. He also said that he will pass it to proper department. Also doesn't this problem seem like this one? Maybe it's not problem with note 3 but with JB 4.3?
Yeah you're right, can't stream some HD videos, especially on vimeo. Youtube is fine for me on full hd. Anything downloaded plays perfectly though.
I've had this issue on two different T-Mobile notes. HD videos in any browser for me stutter. I'm hoping its software related and can get patched soon.

I hope that it will come out soon if it's software related, because if it was hardware related I would have to change it and it restrains me for now from rooting it.

YouTube app amazing, embedded videos not so much...

Since the most recent OTA YouTube videos played in the YouTube app are nothing short or miraculous. HD video loads almost instantly and rarely stutters or lags. Sadly, embedded videos don't enjoy the same performance. They can take a long time to load, hang, stutter and sometimes lock up the whole browser.
Any ideas on what is happening here and how to improve it? This device is clearly capable or impeccable streaming. Where is the bottleneck?
* I am using latest version of Dolphin Browser which will play embedded Flash. Of course problem could be Dolphin itself or Flash version they are using.
P.S. Is there an app which will allow us to automatically start any embedded YouTube videos in the YouTube app as opposed to the YouTube web page?
As a kind of sidenote to this I'll bring your attention to the Flipboard app. It's great for reading any genre of news you set it for, and it's smooth as silk to skip through its pages, I only use it for 'android news' really. But you can also have one of it's feeds as your YouTube account, all your subscription videos, favorites etc are there (only thing you can't do is search). To me it's an even better experience than the YouTube app itself, it looks a lot more polished with better presentation. It's well worth a try.

Watching YouTube on Samsung watch

Hope you’re doing well. So I bought Samsung active 2 around a month back, and I am trying to install an YouTube app which will play videos. Surprisingly, I didn’t find any app in Samsung store. I tried to browse the videos through Samsung internet but only half of the videos will play and remaining videos will not play. I am just wondering how you are guys playing YouTube on your watch.

Not sure if I’m only facing this issue. On Samsung internet I can only play videos from home page. And I can’t play videos from the search. May I know if it’s working for you?

My observation was that videos over 30mins tend to either load slow or not start at all, regardless of video quality but the ones under 30mins start instantly. Quality for the density and the size given of the Super AMOLED (360 x 360) display is crisp clear and the amoled colors shine really nice with the *seriously deep pitch black color*
Perfect for short videos while *on the go* :good:
Edit: i will check and update regarding playing videos from search, can' t remember atm.
