[Q] 5.0.2 Video Playback errors - Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti

Is anybody else having video playback errors and video recording errors, after updating to 5.0.2? I often cannot play videos in Facebook, YouTube, Snapchat ect. Video recording within apps does not work either. Did a factory reset and everything after update. Just wanted to see if anyone is having this.

Nope, my z2 and z3 tablet don't have this issue

I have the same problem on SGP612.

Disabling Nu Player in developer options and rebooting did the trick. Now video playback in YouTube and Chrome works again!

Same issue here. after a while youtube, facebook,... cannot play any videos. the only solution I found so far is rebooting.
MXplayer does keep on working.

Exact same issue here on my Xperia Z3 Compact, I have tried everything including going back to stock but I still have to reboot my phone 2-3 times a day since the 5.0 update. Does anyone have a solution for this ? Thanks

I just did a couple of tests and it kinda seemed like it was off when I was watching it back on the Note but when I transfered it to my Hackintosh it seemed to be fine. Are you watching it on the Note or a PC?
on my note. maybe its just a software issue? can you try via another video playback app on the phone

Dice Player problems (NO Video)

Anybody else having trouble with Dice Player after updating to ICS? When I try to play a video, I will get audio only, but no video.
I tried rebooting my tab, and then I got a couple of videos to play once, but the next time I try, it goes back audio only.
I hope there's a fix for this because I use my tab a lot for videos.
Thanks.

video playback displays blank screen with only audio?

Okay...I thought I was fairly experienced but this has me stumped
When I try playing from the Samsung Media Hub, all I get is blank video but I get all the audio and subtitles.
If I hit the back button, I see the last video frame before the video player closes.
Tried JoeVLC as well as MX Player and I get the same behavior.
Avengers used to play fine just a few weeks ago.
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the video players.
I tried uninstalling any apps I installed over the past few weeks as well.
I Google'd for everything I could think of and only found one facebook Page that sounded vaguely like this problem but MX Player solved it for them.
Anyone else see this? Or better yet, fix it?
PS. Forgot to mention I tried rebooting the phone without luck.
Youtube and Flash in Web pages work fine.
This is also a stock ROM.

Video playing problem

Hey guys I have a problem with my Xperia Z2. When I'm watching videos from youtube,facebook or etc. , after a while I got some errors. For example I'm watching videos from youtube and after I got this error " Error loading. Tap to retry'" and after this error I cant play any videos, my local videos too. I face "video cannot played" error my local videos. And just when i restart my phone videos are playing. Whats the problem this device? I tried firmware update and it's still same.
It seems to be a bug related to facebook
I dont think there is a fix aside rebooting your device.

Same for me but I even does't have facebook installed, browser videos (html) and Youtube doesn't work, only a restart helps :/
I have it too.. Even you can't record videos with camera.. After restart everything works like a charm.
having the exact same problem, i think this is because of 5.0.2
I think that's not the problem.. I had 5.0.2 for a while... Like 2 months, but this started to happen yesterday
It looks like general problem.. So have we any solution except restarting?

Video playback not working

Hey,
I bought the 10" model of the Mediapad M5, mostly to let the kids watch videos during car rides or play games.
However, I'm experiencing some problems with video playback in both VLC and Google Play Movies. The video starts in both applications, but when tapping the screen to bring up the media controls, nothing happens. I can't even bring up the navigation bar to go back.
In Play Movies, after starting a movie, the screen dims down efter about 2 sec, as if the screen is about to turn off (but it never does). From Play Movies I can press the physical home button to exit the app.
In VLC, I can't even press the physical home button to exit the app; if I press it, the screen goes black and I need to restart the device.
I tested playing local files with the built in "Video" and MX Player, and both of those applications work as expected.
Edit: Testing some alternative video streaming applications: YouTube works fine, DS video as well (video app for my Synology Nas), Netflix is stuck at "Loading..." no matter which movie I try to play, not sure if this is related or a separate problem...
Is anyone else experiencing this problem?
Thanks
I can confirm the issue with Google Movies. Netflix works for me as expected.
I guess it's a side effect of L3 only widevine level.

Thanks. I returned my device and will fall back on my Nexus 7 until I find something I like, where you can actually play videos.

Google Play Film does not work, but other videos work
I have (partly) the same problem. Netflix works fine, but Google Play Film dims the screen completely for all films. All programs are up to date, but still doesn't work.
I got a new Huawei tablet but the problem remains.

As @esbeone has stated, OTA update fixes the issue. I can confirm that also.
Problem solved
As suggested, I found the udgrave to the OS.
Android version 8.0.0.0.123 solved the problem, now all videos works fine.
