You need to try other browsers (dolphin, miren) to see if the problem is browser related.

yes i did try n it play on youtube appli. so idk what else to do.. i had the same problem with my Evo 3D but with dolphin browser it fix it .. but thia time dolphin dont work

any ideas ....

Try posting a link to the said youtube video so others can test it out. Or does it happen on any youtube videos?

I have a 720p video that I have uplaoded to youtube. The video can play back on my wii and PC, but it will not play back on the phone. So I down sized the video to 480p and that played. So I think Google is currently blocking 720p only videos as my video is set to display only in 720p and nothing less.

I had the same problem and out of no where its working fine now

Tried that, didnt help. If someone is using Dolphin browser hd can it please check for example this link with mobile, first video from above and see it it will stop buffering. It will buffer about first 5 min in few seconds and than just stop.

lg p500 flash player

adobe flash player working in my phone but when play the video say (this video is no optimized )and the video working slowly
please help me to solve the problem and video inthe internet working Efficiently
All videos? Try different sites. Some flash videos use different codecs and won't be as friendly to a slow CPU. It's lucky that any flash works on our phone
thanks for you but do you think there is the solution to that problem
Yes. Get a more powerful Phone.or tell what sites cause you problems.
Ya me to suffering from this problem! !
Maximum sites I tried but it has the same problem! !
Slow and laggy playback even at 3G Connection network!

Try Dolphin Browser HD, I have never used flash player before nor i will now when it's availble for our O1...
Why, u ask?
Becouse Dolphin Browser HD has flash player inside and i plays youtube and similar flash videos like from your phone video player...
I found the "Flash Player Plugin is now availble for LG P500" and i installed right away...The thing was the videos were playing like IN-PC-BROWSER and our LOW 600MHz Processor is not the 2000+ like on pc...In short-> The video plays within the browser, fps -10(lol) laggs as hell...your even lucky if your player buttons work...
So I Unistalled it and never looked back,,
Try Doplhin Browser HD, not Mini since i have never tried it, and see if i helped you or not...
or you can try puffin browser it works but sometimes it doesn't want to start the video tried this browser on icysnap by neko and works with a litlle lag

With root and titanium backup, I just removed the youtube app that comes with stock.
After that I was able to reinstall youtoube from the playstore, choosing version 5.3
That version plays everything perfectly in HD.

Ok, thanks for the Info I'll check that
Update,
I don't know what is it but when I play video on that Youtube app (v5.3) when I choice HD (and I know in desktop is REAL HD) is streaming poor quality like I don't know... VGA maybe
from CC to HQ is like from very poor quality to poor quality so that was not my point. I want to play 720p or 1080p videos like on desktop
Strange, because I do get pretty good quality, definitely HD (by youtube standards).
Either install flash player and firefox, or dolphin browser and dolphin jetpack or install viral youtube app. Take a look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2579795

The viral floating youtube app doesnt support 480p or 1080p because google splits the streams in to. 720p works flawless and it hasnt any great difference with 1080p.
I forgot to ask you what version of android you have, if you have 4.2 jelly bean then adobe's flash player should work with every browser that supports flash playback (like firefox or dolphin). If you re on 4.4 kitkat though you need the hacked flash player as google removed from 4.4 some critical files that the flash player needed.

Yes i have 4.4 CM11 , like I wroted up, the haked flash work like a charm, but I switch to Dolphin browser because Boat browser do not played all hd videos on YT like I was thinking, but Dolphin does. Overall I think that Boat is beter browser than dolphin, faster, lighter and smoother but is something for something, haked flash player support Dolphin and is somthing in that flash code because videos that I can't watch on Boat are smooth playable on Dolphin.

I use firefox as a browser and if i want to watch youtube videos i switch to dolphin. Dolphin is not bad at all, its the only browser at the moment which can play flash videos in 4.4 kitkat with satisfactory results and supports plugins just like firefox.
Try Og YouTube from XDA. It's a modified Youtube APK.
There you can select the resolution like you do in the webplayer.
I'm running it and it works fine.
The only issue is, that you can't log in with your Google account.

Give viral a try. See sig
Use Flashfox or Firefox and download an add-on called youtube center.
For now I using Dolphin with jetpack and moded fplayer, and YT works like on PC no problem with 720/1080p
I dont really get it , why from the first place google messed up the resolutions.
Seriously... Why is this even a problem. Videos from the YouTube app look terrible. Sucks that we have to find a workaround.

Video playback shows just a black screen with audio playing seamlessly. Why?

whatever video I try to play let it be my camera video, YouTube, other videos on web just a black screen is visible or just the video thumbnail. The audio of the video plays right and yeah I can get to see the controls on the screen. This is really annoying. Get me a solution for this!:crying:

For camera videos,maybe you could just download mx player from play store and give it a try.
For youtube and web,I prefer you to download puffin browser from play store and reply me weather it works or not.

I know it has been a while, but I'll suggest the solution that worked for me.
So, if you're having a problem with video playback in various android apps (e.g. you have sound, but no video - just black screen), try freeing some space on your phone. Use an app like FilesGo, CCleaner or CleanMaster, or clean the cache of some apps manually (Youtube, Facebook, Instagram, Soundcloud, etc), or just uninstall some apps you might not need anymore. Then reboot your phone.
Worked for me.
Same problem multiple apps
I have a chinese android car stereo, and am having the same problem.
Youtube, Amazon video work fine. But all other apps like Netflix, Hulu, xumo, Pluto, and vlc give me the black screen with controls and the audio works fine. From what I can tell the radio is running a skimmed down version of android 8.0
Any ideas I'm hoping I can install a missing component and resolve.
I discovered that an app that uses an overlay can cause this problem. Try to disable apps like Fluid Navigation Guestures or Blue Light Filter

How can you change the default in browser streaming video player?

Hi Folks,
This is really got me
I've come from a HTC M7 to a Oneplus 3. The in-browser video on the HTC M7 was great - you were able to control brightness, control the sound and search through the video all via screen gestures. Since moving to the OP3 it has a standard video player that has none of those features. You have to use the old school controls of the video menu bar - there's no gesture control.
I've downloaded MX and VLC but they're only good as standalone players - to play stored content.
It loads the same player on both browsers, Chrome and Dolphin... and it loads the same video player on the HTC :good: and the same player on the OP3
I've tried resetting default apps. I've looked in the App settings but I can't work what app it is that's streams within the browser? Is it part of the OS?
Thank you in advance!
The only thing I've found on this... If you're watching in Firefox, you can tap on the video and it gives you the option to watch it on MX Player... but there's no way to set this as a default?

There's no stock video player listed under apps, well there is, but that's for stand alone saved videos. I got in touch with Oneplus today and they said there's no option to choose within the browser... The guy said that I should suggest it for an update, which I did.
Firefox does let you press on the video and choose to open it in MX, but there's no way to set that as a default... Has to be done each time - bit of a pain.

Hmm.. Maybe gallery as my phone has a separate app for the video player so you can open like gallery and only see videos... Try clearing gallery defaults
