After the latest android update on Sony Xperia Z Ultra (from India), the MOVIES app has become very slow
I had the same list of videos, when it was on 4.2.2. The app was always snappy and have noticed no lag.
The issues were noticeable, post 4.3 update on Sony Xperia Z Ultra
Tried everything like 'Clear Cache', 'Clear app data' etc
Works just fine here. No lag or slowdowns. Not sure what the issue might be.

Well okay, I'm on the same R4B-Customization update and I have no lags or slowdowns whatsoever. But I've noticed that the app crashes whenever I try to change the screen orientation while a video is being played.

Recently i started using CM 11 by munjeni for sola, everything is working perfectly except for the video playback. I tried everything, googled for days but i couldn't find the problem. When i open youtube app and i play a video there is sound but video is not "moving" it's just stuck on video thumbnail as if i didn't even press play, it doesnt work in play store, in browser, or in any app i could find. Does anyone have a similar problem?

that's because they could not fix the OMX, which allows video playback, and has been fixed in the Xperia U by User new maclaw, but he did not want to share their sources, so mujenji unable to carry this arrangement to xperia Go and Sola.
But as I read, percy_g2 manage to fix the OMX without sources of maclaw for xperia P, if true, I do not think it takes long before the single xperia Go and sola have this fix.
I have the same problem and I also tried everything but nothing was helpful
I hope mujenji fix it as fast as he can

I'm sure Sony will release these Media Apps updates after all of the Xperia Z series got the Android 4.4.2 KitKat update,maybe they will also roll out for their phones running 4.3...
The Media Apps shown in video were totally different that we got,even on latest Xperia Z2 firmware & Z1/Z Ultra/Z1 Compact 4.4.2 update
So maybe the phone is running on custom firmware...
Hey guys,
I want to use this apk for watching sky go on my xperia z ultra 4.4.4
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0AoE0_AolzDWjdtdV82dEhlb1U/preview
When I start the app I come to the intro video and then force close all the time. It seems to be a z ultra issue. On z1,z2,z3 it workes.
Can someone of you have a look what is wrong here?
Hi everyone,
Has anyone else experienced any video playback issues with their GPE Z Ultra after updating to 5.0? I can't play back any downloaded video using Play Movies. It makes no difference whether I'm storing internally or on the SD card, I get the same issue. No image. A few seconds of Audio. App freezes and crashes. I've contacted Google and they can't figure out what the problem is so they told me to go to Sony. Sony told me to go back to Google.. You all know the drill..
Any guidance will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you all very very much.

All,
I need help with my brand-new Sony Z4 tablet: it crashes 90% of the times I play video!!
This happens regardless of the app used to play video, e.g. in YouTube as well as FX Media Player or Google Photos or even Sony's own "Videos" app. The crash happens right away before any of the video shows up. The screen goes black, the LED blinks 3 times short and then once long and the tablet goes into reboot (Sony logo, Android logo, wait, then home screen).
What is wrong with my tablet???
My tablet is the SGP771 (Z4 tablet LTE but no SIM inserted as I work with WLAN only), Android 5.0.2, build 28.0.A.7.24. I am running Action Launcher (not the Sony launcher) and have disabled some of the bloatware on the tablet (Sony apps, Gmail, etc).
I would greatly appreciate if anybody can help me with this as this is VERY ANNOYING!
Thanks! Martin
Maybe some of the bloatware you disabled is actually needed to play videos, I don't know.
Mine doesn't play videos on FB
Sent from my Nexus 6
Got no issues with avi, mkv and mp4 movies ranging between 600 and 3800 MB using MX player pro. Neither with YouTube via app or web nor videos in Google photo app.
SGP712 and 28.0.A.6.2. Sony launcher, uninstalled Sony apps which could be uninstalled, left rest. No modifications otherwise.
Maybe try resetting the tablet to factory values and see if the issue still persists.
same here, latest updates installed (Android 6.0.1)
it should not be caused by apps but more likely by kernel/drivers
I have a variation on this. Every once in a while I'm unable to play YouTube videos or GIF(V)'s/MP4's from within Relay Pro (Reddit client app). It says 'Playback failed.' (Relay) or 'There was a problem while playing. Tap to retry.' (YouTube). Rebooting the tablet fixes this...

Me too, but it was on the stock ROM, with every stock ROM from 5.02 to 6.0.1. With cm, no problem with YouTube at all.
Had this issue with unlocked bootloader on Z4 tablet, there is a working solution in another thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/help/video-playback-issue-t3290793
