Video playback freezing in default web player - LG G8 Questions & Answers

Ever since i've had this device, whenever I play a video (like an m3u8 stream) in a web browser (Chrome, Brave etc.), that uses the the default android web video player, as soon as the playback controls auto-fade-out, the video freezes (the audio is still playing as normal). If I touch the screen to bring the controls back, the video playback resumes again, but freezes as soon as the controls go away. If I repeatedly tap the screen, the video resumes but it's very jerky - like it's only playing the video when it detects a touch input.
Has anyone else had this? My Sony Xperia XZ Premium doesn't have any issues, and i've checked i'm running the same versions of Android System WebView and my web browsers, on both phones. It doesn't seem to matter what the quality of the video is either, it's doing it on a 576p web stream.

[Q] Video Player shows "play audio data only"

So I just got my note two, and boy is the screen VIBRANT. It's a sight for sore eyes when you've been dealing with a WVGA LCD display for a couple years. Now that I've said let's segue into my problem: Some MKVs aren't playing video. The weird thing is some of my anime plays fine, but soon as I start up Black Lagoon, i get that little toast notification and no video plays, just audio.
Just so you know, I've downloaded BS player and it plays the video fine, but I'd still like to know why the default video player app wouldn't play it. Plus if I could get it to play there it would be better since the popup player is fun to play around with
I also noticed that my Black Lagoon subs have two audio tracks instead of one. Could that possibly be why?

video issues

During playback on any app I.e. you tube, stock, mx player video will stop but sound will continue until I tap the screen and video will jump to where the sound is and play ok for a couple seconds and then stop again until I tap the screen. It happens whether I am streaming or playing a file. If I run the video using the software decoder in mx player the issue is not present. So that tells me it's probably a hardware issue, but I don't know where to go from there. Any ideas?

Stuttering Video (server stream only)

I have tried PS3 media server, XBMC, and Plex on the server side.
I have tried meridian player, stock player, plex player, and dice player on the mobile player side.
Wi-fi connectrion speed is over 60mbps
Movies are all original blueray rips pre-encoded to .mp4
Sound is fine, video keeps up, but its an extremely low frame rate. If you can imagine someone talking with intermittent volume cutting out (so it sounds like theyare skipping, like when you try to fake your cell phone signal thats what my video is doing. it ONLY does it with media server movies, On device media, internet media, and youtube app media all play fine. I have no other issues with bluetooth or music streaming with any other app/device. its STRICTLY trying to play back media from my server
I have disabled smart screen, enabled forced gpu rendering, and turned off any animations.
Any ideas?
What resolution your rips? What settings for mobile do you have set in Plex?
I appologize for never re-opening this thread! It got moved and i forgot all about it. the rips were all 1080p. But as I said, pre-encoded to mp4 so no processing needed to convert the files.. over time this seems to have corrected itself, Im not sure how or why but the problem just stopped one day and it was working fine... go figure...

No problems here. I also have flash player archived version installed for playing online video through the web browser: http://download.macromedia.com/pub/...roid/11.1.115.81/install_flash_player_ics.apk.
Do you have GPU 2D Rendering Checked in Developer Options? If so, uncheck that because it causes video choppiness. Other than that, not sure what to tell you except factory reset your device.

Streaming video issue

Hello. So when watching live streams through an app called Twitch, I encounter massive screen tearing. If I set the video quality to any quality other than auto, I get what looks like a vertical sync bug, where the video doesn't line up with itself properly. I attached a screenshot for clarity. Even when I keep the video quality set to auto, the video will freak out and glitch every 30 seconds or so. I can always hear the audio smoothly, and the frames are still being updated within the fragmented video pieces I receive. Note that streaming video on any other app (Opera, YouTube) works perfectly fine, regardless of what resolution I set the videos to. I am running the final Beanstalk KitKat 4.4.4 release, and haven't had problems with Twitch videos on Lollipop, but Lollipop's instability encouraged me to roll back to KK. I've tried forcing GPU acceleration and disabling HW overlays to no avail. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
