Hello and thanks for reading this!
I'll get straight to the point. My Wildfire won't play certain youtube video's anymore. It will start the video and I can hear everything. Audio is working perfect, the problem being that there is no video. The screen will just stay black. When trying to fast forward the video, the screen will show me that particular frame. The audio will continue fine, but then it will just show me that frame.
I've been having this issue for a couple of days now and it's driving me nuts. Sometimes after closing and opening the video, clearing the cache, force stopping the youtube app the video will randomly load. No telling what does the trick. It will work only for the next day to not work again. I already tried installing an alternative youtuba app, same issue. Trying to watch youtube video through Dolphin Browser, same issue. I even installed a new rom just trying to fix this issue, no luck. First video I tries immediately did the same thing, audio but no video. Is it my phone? Is it youtube? Does it has to do with the quality of the video's? I searched all over the internet, can't find a damn thing. Already searched through the entire forums. Does anybody know what's going on?
Rom: CyanogenMod 7.2 Buzz Stable.
Kernel 2.6.35.14-nFinity [email protected] #1
Radio 3.35.20.10
Hboot - 6.01.1002
S- off
I'd appreciate any help!
tl;dr - Youtube is playing the audio without the video on certain video's. Even after reboot/installing new rom/factory reset. What do?!?
Are you playing the video in HD! If yes, try playing it in normal version!

Anyone else having playback issues with youtube app ? Problem is the video jerks, stutters, and balck screen while audio continues to play. I have rebooted my modem and router, changed video resolution... but nothing helps..
any more ideas?

I experience the same thing. Videos are jerky, and after a while the video pauses and the sound continues to play. This is a problem that many users are complaining about on google play store. Don't blame your device, it is just the youtube player acting up. Hopefully they will fix it soon.
Youtube doesnt work at all on cm, so I just use Viral Pro (Youtube Player) instead. It takes a bit getting used to, but it is the better app IMO.
I've been experiencing this for a while now, every now and then when I'd watch movies on my tablet using the stock video player or even others such as MX Player and VLC, a crackling sound comes off that it sounds muzzled and blurry at the same time and the only thing to resolve it is to pause the movie or video then resume It right away then it's gone. The issue is it comes back time to time but rarely happens on YouTube as I recall, now I'm not sure if this is a hardware issue with the speakers, I'm not rooted and haven't modified anything at all, I've had this tablet for 2 months. Anyone else experiencing this issue? I wouldn't want to trade this is for a brand new device but if I really need to I would. Was just thinking if there was a work around for this without rooting the device.

Can you record the sound? Might be the app and the video itself if everything is fine on youtube. For my device I use allstar video player and its all fine. Could be an app issue with the video maybe? I havent tryed those video player apps but stock is fine for me also.
Not sure, thanks for the reply though. I could try recording it. Maybe it's just my speakers, cause I usually use the stock video player for my movies and that's where it happens.

Anyone experiencing choppy videos or videos that keep playing audio but freeze up? Happens on my pixel xl and is universal... YouTube, my video playback, Facebook video. Not app specific.
Did you have all apps updated in the store? If not do that. If that doesn't help try a factory reset. Nothing else can be done
Yeah... Will have to try the factory reset I suppose.

Mine does that too. Noticed it during YouTube playback.
I had the same thing happening today on youtube, video would freeze but audio kept playing, only problem is I am on a Note 4 until my Pixel XL gets here. Cant speak to the other issues, curious if a reset solved it for you.
Did a restart and seemed to work itself out... At least when playing my own videos back. If it creeps back I will try the full factory reset.
Not seeing this on my xl

Exactly what happens to me on my new Pixel XL
Yep happens to me on youtube app. Not tried it on my own videos yet though. Hopefully a fix will be released soon for this.
This was driving me crazy this morning. Watching YouTube on Pixel XL and video would freeze while audio kept going. Not happening on Netflix so far. Just YouTube. I emptied the cache and cleared data for YouTube app and force stopped it. Hasn't happened since. I wonder if it's a software problem with Android 7.1?
I've been experiencing this also while watching Netflix. The video will pause for 15-30 secs with the audio continuing. Eventually it synchs back up further up in the scene. Amazon video won't play at all. Do you think this is a case of the apps not yet jiving with Android 7.1? Or possibly some bad phones? Mine is a Pixel XL from Verizon. I'm still within my 14 day to return if a bad unit. Anyone have an idea what could be going on?
I get this with videos on Twitter and FaceBook. Havent seen it with YouTube and I rarely watch Netflix. It is very irritating but can normally be resolved with a restart.
Just contacted support about this. Literally anything video playback has a 3 second stutter and then the audio end up being out of sync. Happens with my recorded videos, snap chat, Instagram, YouTube etc.
Of course after restarting no issues. I wonder what's causing it.

Getting the same thing. Reboot needed to fix it.
No one knows what triggers it?

I also have the same issue, when I take a video then play it, it freezes between 3-9 seconds with the audio still going. At some point the video restarts, and when it gets back to where the video froze, starts again with the audio in sync. See video below.
Edit: a reboot only fixes the issue temporarily, it seems to come back within a couple hours.

So bad
It's absolutely horrendous! Came from a nexus 6p never had this issue. It's happening in, literally, every app with video, sometimes it won't even play audio or video on Facebook, it does it when I'm trying to play Snapchats where I'll hear the audio but the video freezes and then the video playa really fast all at once at the end to catch up with the audio. It does it on YouTube and Netflix and Hulu as well. It even does it when I'm recording video within Snapchat! I'm disappointed that the phone has been performing more poorly than my old nexus 6p. I hope they fix it asap. I do not want to ba e to do a factory reset. I just finally got done painstakingly setting up all my apps again on this
I only have this issue with YouTube... Usually locks up when I do full screen and after it rotates it feeezes but audio continues.
I occasionally will have YouTube freeze but audio continues. Seems to be only YouTube though and I don't think it's the phone because it was happening on my Note 7 as well.
Happened to me a handful of times where video stops playing but audio keeps going in YouTube. Am I the only one that doesn't realize the video stopped until like 30 seconds later? lol
All I have to do is rewind the video a small amount and then it keeps going and doesn't happen again for that video.
I have been watching a lot of video on the youtube app on my rn5pro (on 4g if that affects anything), and I have observed some stuttering in the videos, it happens once or twice in a 10 min video. Is anyone else experiencing this? Is it a youtube issue or rn5pro issue.

Nope, I tested with hour long video. Not happening.
Yeah I'm facing the same issue on YT and MX Player the audio runs fine but the video seems to drop freeze for a split second and then starts
It's not something big but it kinda spoils the user experience
Edit: might just go in for a replacement unit if this persists

So did you get your device replaced or it's just a software bug that'd be fixed soon?
