One UI Beta Issue With Youtube TV - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

I installed the leaked One UI beta for my T-Mobile Note 8 yesterday and I haven't really had any major issues other than with Youtube TV. It works perfectly fine in portrait mode, but when I rotate my screen to landscape or hit the full screen button on the video, the screen goes black. The audio still plays, but only a black screen is displayed. All the on screen buttons still show up and work when I tap the screen, but nothing will get the video back until I go back into portrait mode. On the pop out player, I noticed the same issue, video working when in portrait and black during landscape mode. Normal Youtube and other video apps work fine on full screen.
I've already tried uninstalling/reinstalling the app, clearing caches, and going through all the settings to try and find a fix but have been unable to do so. Can anyone else on the beta see if they have the same issue with Youtube TV?

It does the same on ALL video apps. Netflix, VUDU, etc...

Actually I've found that sling and hulu work fine on it. However just an fyi I did do a dirty flash so that could be why. All other streaming apps I have don't work though.

Could you kindly explain how do I enter/participate in the Android Pie beta for Note8?
Where did you download the beta version from?

I didn't even think to test it out on other video apps aside from Youtube. Netflix and VUDU didn't work, but Hulu did. How did you flash the update?

I did that too just by using the update.zip file. Hulu worked for me as well. Hopefully we get another update for the beta that fixes this.

Mine was a clean update. I have a N950U1, so I used ODIN to flash the CRK1 firmware, wiped, and then flashed DRL6 in recovery.

I didn't test Sling or Hulu since I don't use those services.

I have closed beta on my note 8 and experiencing same issue on Netflix,hbo go, att watch TV app in landscape mode bit like other have started audio works. Where as regular YouTube app works fine in landscape

Just FYI, it affects Amazon Video, too.

Not exactly.
I dont want to advertise the aplication here and thast why i didnt say a description, but basically the aplication searchs over internet for tv-shows links capables to be played directly on your device, with full screen support using megavideo, frogmovz, karambavidz and other hosting services.

You are right, my mistake, i thught it was already availeable. So I will have to wait a bit more, thanks for the information.
Maybe I should close the thread and re-open it after flash has been released.
The app is now starting up, looks, and runs great. I've been waiting for this! Android 2.2~ version on my Droid X is amazing. Just waiting for Flash...

Just tried it out on both my Xoom and Captivate.
I am pretty sure things are working on the Captivate as they should, so used that as a guide. Hehe Test videos played through each host, low Res, but no issues.
OK.. on the Xoom the UI seems fine and works. Problems come up when playing the videos. When playing a Megavideo link the MV interface comes up with no player controls, nothing else happens. When trying Frogmovz or Karambavids.. I get a black screen with no video controls. Touching the center of the screen has triggered play/pause, but I just seem to get audio and no video is shown.
I tried out playing Megavideos through their website and that worked fine for me.

Hi,
The same problems have been reported by using unoficial flash version on htc evo. The solution was uninstall flash and reinstall from market.
Are you using the leaked version of flash 10.2 right?
It should be availeable on 18th on android market for all devices and it should fix the sound with no video issue.
Thanks for the infor, it wil really help us.
I have same issue with Xoom also. Works great and love the app on my fascinate.

Hello,
I have a paid for version of TV Shows Stream, it works on my Nexus One thanks very much for that. I admit that I probably never use it, but I like it and it works most of the time.
I have a Xoom, with v3.0.1 and the leaked Flask 10.2 APK. At this time, flash content via the stock browser seems to work fine but TV Shows Stream does not seem to work properly. All browsers come up with a blank window more or less, I tried a few megavideo and karambozworths.
Yes, it works great on the Nexus One but on the Xoom with the leaked 10.3 flash you can hear the sound but no video. Hope you get it working because it would be great to watch it on a larger screen!
I probably wouldn't be too concerned for now as the leaked version is having issues in other browsers as well. I'm not sure if that'd be because they don't see the leaked version or what... but as with the others, the app works fantastically on my Droid X but has no Video or Audio for the Xoom running the leaked Flash 10.2
Ill update again when its officially released March 18th and reinstalled.
TV Shows Stream full is my fav app and I use it daily on my Droid X with no issues. Cannot wait for xoom compatibility which as previously mentioned should be resolved when the official flash file is available on market March 18 if I read correctly. I will def uninstall the leaked file and load the official 10.2 release and report back on its usuability on my xoom. Great app btw dev. -

I have the Flash leak for my Xoom and I concur the app opens and you can see the list of shows but just cannot play the video (or see the video controls), just a blank screen.
However, I emailed myself a link for a show (from within your app) and then opened the link in the email with my broswer. The video played fine with no problems. Thus I assume when the official Flash 10.2 is released this week we will be able to load the video from right within the app - as I do on my Droid X.
BTW -great app - best money spent on an app. Keep up the awsome work
tv shows
I use the TV shows application all the time on my xoom. Right now u just have to email yourself the link for the video you want to play. I copy and paste the link in dolphin hd browser. Just make sure dolphin hd is in desktop mode. I doing this I can stream video fine, thanks for the great app also I have the leaked version of flash installed.

Hi
Is a usefull workaround but we have the intention to offer a better solutions.
We are almost sure that with the official release of flash player will work as it works most of devices, but we are already working in alternative solutions.
We have already a working solution in some video servers, karambavidz and Loombo (loombo will be added in next update) will have an option for watching the videos using any of the player you have installed on the phone, even native android player. FastForward and RW completelly working and very smooth playback, as not flash player will be used on those videos. More info soon, we are hard working right now on it.
Hi
Can someone uninstall the leaked version of flash and install the official 10.2 from market to chec if the problems still persist? Thanks in advanced.
Yes Haze, I've got the paid version and the behavior is the same. On the Xoom, the leaked version was 10.2.155.67 and todays version is 10.2.166.12 so I suspect very minor changes.

In the next update, Karambavidz video links will be able to be watched in the native android player or any other player , without the need of flash player.
You can also email yourself the link and open it with the dolphin HD broser as a temporary workaround, it has been reported to work fine.
We are working on it , thanks for the testing time.

Issues With Chromecast

Hi All, I've just joined this forum so apologies if this question has been asked before..
I recently bought the chromecast and so far loving it! But lately whenever I try and cast a tab from Google Chrome to play a video (not Youtube), the video plays fine, but previously using Win+T I could toggle between the tab (currently playing full screen video) to another browser and use it simultaneously. I now find this is impossible, and not sure what the issue is. If I toggle between tabs, the video playing also minimizes..
Any help would be greatly appreciated and not sure if I have managed to explain it properly!
Thanks in advance..

Thank you for your quick reply! Reading the link you gave me I guess this is a known issue post update unfortunately...
I tried doing all the steps others have mentioned, but it still hasn't worked for me. Do you know if there is any other workaround for this or if Google is planning on fixing this in the future?

The "Fullscreen anything" extension didn't work for you?
I'm not sure whether it's Chrome itself, the page, the graphics card/driver, or what, but different people get different behavior.
I also don't know if it's meant to fullscreen on the desktop while doing other things or not. Might be the folks who have it working are just lucky.
Worth putting in a Chrome and Chromecast report anyway. If Google sees enough feedback, maybe they'll take a look.

Chrome Mobile Beta and Chromecast

I'm sure by now some people are playing around with Chrome Beta on android and it's Chromecast function.. if not, within Chrome Beta's Url type
chrome://flags/#enable-cast
Enable the option and restart browser for change to update. Haven't seen any posts on this yet...but not why I'm posting it now.. I've followed the instructions to a T. However, the Chromecast icon never appears in any video... can someone post a link to a video that know works so I can figure out if it's me or just the ultra beta nature of it?

I am yet to successfully stream a video using Chrome Beta. Chromecast icon only shows while in fullscreen video mode, it connects, but doesn't stream. Maybe others had more luck with it.
Huh, thanks for the info... in the videos I've seen and or articles I've read no one bothered to mention that..
Though I thought I saw a YouTube of the icon appearing in chrome while viewing video while it was embedded....It was late and I was tired..could be wrong.
Google admits it to being pre-beta so I'm not complaining...just would like one working example...
I've gotten it to work several times on my Nexus 10, but it can be a little finicky. Confirmed on only showing the icon in full screen mode.

I had to remove the Beta and go back to the original because the Beta for some reason wouldn't work with Plex.tv
Works great for me but sadly it doesn't support flash. But playing mobile videos it works great. I used it the other to watch Naruto.

chrome beta update 3/12/14
Since the update Wednesday 3/12/14 I have been able to stream some web videos from my phone. Videos that have commercials at the beginning only stream the commercial but not the video content itself, it seems to crash and then prevent the video from playing have to close tab and enter the web site again. A video that has no commercials and goes straight to content loads and streams fine. It appears that streaming resets the video to the start when you switch over to Chromecast. This will work great once all bugs get fixed and websites use HTML5

YouTube Problems on 6.0.1

Anyone experiencing YouTube issues with the 6.0.1 update? When I scroll while watching a video the video lags. I googled some solutions and turned on disable hw overlay in the dev settings and that helped.
But now the video freezes while watching it in landscape. So I'm not really sure what to do.
Tried uninstalling the app and clearing data, cache, reinstalling etc. Any ideas?
Bump
Youtube for me is ok , i am un 6.0.1
I get lag while scrolling too
I have no issue with youtube. I use it daily and never see a bit of lag. Mind you I use an aosp based rom that is 6.0.1.
Damn. I might have to do a full wipe.
I enabled 'disable hw overlay' and all is ok, both portrait and landscape mode.

This solution for me worked for Youtube and Twitch, but totally broke Netflix (no image on videos, just sound) and I had to reverse the change to be able to watch on it again.

Probably won't work, because even twitch has the same issue, so this seems more general in stock 6.0.1 ROM.
If your clean install work please post here.

Yes, I said in a previous post. This fixes the YouTube problem (and Twitch as I saw with the same issue), but it breaks other video apps. After switching this option in developer settings I couldn't see videos in Netflix anymore (you can hear it, but no image).

Lol now I remember where I saw it. Well I don't use Netflix so I'm good for now. Hope an update fix the issue
I'll do a clean install later on next week. Upgrading computer currently. But hw overlay does fix the YouTube problem for now at least. I have to pause and press play on the video to get it to not freeze so that's still annoying
Any updates from anyone? Just upgraded to the newest update and the problem persists. Hw overlay still fixes the problem however my other video apps like Netflix and Google play movies just give a black screen until I disable it.

Works for me! Still some laggy scrolling in other apps - but YouTube now works perfectly.
Running CM13 latest nightly.

Doesn't even work with netflix!!

Its always stopping the video only audio continues!! is there any lighter easier rom that I can flash to make this works smoother?
I have the same problem. Video plays for a few seconds, then freezes with only sound continuing.
The only way I can watch Netflix is by downloading the episode and then watching it. A bit of a hassle.
I would really appreciate any suggestions on how to successfully watch Netflix on this device. Hopefully bumping this thread will get some response from someone.
Thanks!

I have noticed it also and downgrading to version 5.9.0 works.
