And my phone is not rooted at the moment, although I did root it before and unlocked the bootloader, but now bootloader is locked also.

Problem viewing YouTube Videos

I have an odd problem. Whenever I try to watch a video on the youtube app I get a video for a website called machinima. This occurs no matter what video I try to play. Do I have a virus?

Atrix CM7.2 Stable Built in Video Player

Hi every one,
I wanted to know how i can disable/uninstall Atrix CM7.2 Stable Built in Video Player. The built in video player sucks big time and every time i click on youtube video its launches automatically and wont even play the video and close it self down. i have tried freezing gallery app to check but its not it so let me know if any one know which apk or app to uninstall/freeze will stop that little bugger to messing with me
Try cleaning up the video app settings. This could help you by enabling the choose app screen next time you open a video file.

There is no video app in my app drawer. and i have checked all apps using titanium and other app freezing applications.
Doesn't youtube videos use flash or the built in youtube app? Could it be that the current version of flash you have installed is what's causing the problem? Try downgrading or upgrading perhaps?
If you're having problems playing video files (.avi, .mkv, etc.) try using MX Player from playstore.
i have all those apps but thing is built in app wont let them play the content, it comes first auto and wont even play a dam thing
Google flash player APK 10.3. I don't have any YouTube problems (yet).

slightly laggy video playback

I'm noticing that videos recorded on the device are slightly laggy on playback. It seems to happen at some points. A restart helps, but I don't know why its happening. Other full hd videos play smoothly and I have tried other video players with no luck. Verizon galaxy s3.
Is it ones that you record? If so is it on1080p?

Do you find them laggy on the stock video player? I find that they do stutter a bit on third party video apps, but they're perfectly fine on stock video player.
Yes, on the stock player. I took some video of my son the other day and when I played it back for my mom, it started stuttering at the end. But, I just played it for myself yesterday and it worked fine. Not sure what's up.

I've found a work around,it sucks but if you record in 720p the video that you record wont lag at all, I've called Samsung they said to try a factory reset. But I'm not going to I'm OK with my 720p. Hope this helps you guys out, if any body trys a factory reset and it works please come back and let us know.

I have noticed that ocassionaly the last couple frames stutter. But I've recorded a lot of 1080p videos and no other problems playing back on stock player. 3rd party video players on the phone are hit and miss tho (mostly miss).
I'm running into the same problem. It seems to be the player. When I upload the videos onto my pc they playback smoothly but when I play them on the stock player on the phone it lags badly.

Stuttering Video in some apps?

I've got stuttering video in MLB at Bat and TCM movies but Netflix streams fine. Issue persists on LTE and wifi. Anyone else with stuttering video with any apps? It can't be a kitkat issue because I can't replicate on my Z1.

I picked up my Z2 while I was in Taiwan a few weeks back.
You're right I've noticed that on some video apps that streams video it seems to stutter when it starts rendering it on the display at the highest resolution it can. I notice this problem in several apps, MLB At Bat, Optimum (cable tv operator app), Hulu Plus... Yet I notice on some apps the streaming video is fine, i.e. youtube is perfect and is beautiful... I don't have netflix anymore so have not tried that app.
I don't have the video stuttering issues on my Nexus 5 or Moto-X phones which are all on kit kat.
Makes me wonder if it's sony software or app related that could be causing this on the Z2. I tried disabling the X-Reality engine, but that didn't help. I also tried a variety of different wireless networks thinking it was wi-fi that was causing the video stuttering issue, but to no avail. I get the same stuttering video while I am using LTE. When the video is not in the highest resolution it appears to display nice and smooth as it should.
Has anyone else with a Z2 had this problem? Or is it only us? I've been scouring the internet and this is the only post I've found someone else that is having the same problems as us. It's a shame, the display is beautiful and I really want to be able to watch baseball and cable tv on it without the annoying stutter.
Thanks for clarifying. MLB at Bat has remedied.

For anyone reading this thread the problems seem to have been resolved after the latest firmware update came out today for me.
I went from 17.1.A.2.69 to 17.1.1.A.0.402.
No more video stuttering issues.
