Many thanks HunterST!

Thanks for the tip. I can finally sync again. It's not perfect but, I'm at least getting closer.

Peace.

I work in IT and am using my system to test Vista functionality within our company. So far it has worked like a charm, much better than the days of beta. I prefer XP still for functionality but I have enjoyed Vista and will probably continue to run it on both my work and home systems (Enterprise, Basic/Home is for the lose).

Flashing has been a cakewalk overall. Syncing isn't too bad however it does have it's hiccups. Two problems have surfaced so far, one is related to WMDC being flaky about picking up the phone (although better in 6.1 than 6.0) the other is related to wirelessly syncing to Exchange which has nothing to do with Vista at all and just my laziness to troubleshoot it. lol

Hi,

since the latest update 5.1.1 LMY48M I noticed that I have a really annoying issue when watching YT videos. It's like this:

I start the video. normally it would start with a full hd resolution, means 1080p but it doesnt. Instead it lokks like 144p (or what is the smallest resolution?). Thios goes for 10 seconds then the system freezes and reboots.

I try to start the video again. Same thing all over again. again the reboot. The third time it works fine.

The tablet is rooted, Xposed with some modules like YT background, addisabler,..

Always worked fine with the previous update.

Someone noticed something like that?
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manter:
Same thing here. It has smth to do with 1080p. Every other resolutiion does not cause fc's
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] charesa39:
This has been happening to me more frequently recently. Really annoying. I'm just rooted on the stock OS. Don't think this anything to do with it though.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Minimekw:
Same issue here. It also freezes and shutdown when you try to change the resolution up to 1080p or whatever is max. Only in the YouTube app. No issues with Netflix or browser video. Or ever the YouTube website
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] striker59:
Yes tablet freezes, makes a buzzing sound then shuts down and restarts. I think there was a YouTube update recently.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Monomate:
So it was not just me after all. I use a Nexus 10, 5.1.1, stock unrooted. It mostly won't happen, but I know exactly when the crash is coming: the YouTube video starts playing at an apparent 144p, and some 10 or 15 seconds later the video freezes, the last sound sample keeps repeating creeply, and Android crashes and reboot. If this problem isn't limited to my Nexus 10, then it's the YouTube app's fault?
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] striker59:
Uninstalled YouTube then installed older version, will report back if that helps.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glockman4519:
I just did this and can confirm that it will stop that problem. It took me several roms both lollipop and KitKat to figure it out but I final decided that it was a YouTube issue, as stated in previous post, and downloaded an older version. It is working great now.

Same here since some weeks.

Nexus 10 stock and unrooted, 5.1.1 LMY48X. Youtube 10.43.60

Google Play Services v8.4.89 (2428711-236) and Play Store v6.0.0

I can read videos for 10 to 15 secs until tablet freezes with sound, then turn off and reboot.

Then I go to Settings -> Apps -> Youtube, I clear cache (always about 267 Mb) and erase data. And then I can watch about 5-8 videos before it crashes again.

Edit : found 10.47.54 on apkmirror, I'll try it and be back here.

Same crash with 10.47.54 and always at the same frame in the video. Seems incredible :/

I'll try to downgrade Youtube.

---------- Post added at 12:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:44 AM ----------

Downgraded to 10.21.57 and... it works.

No more crashes at that same video frame.

Hope this will be OK for others videos... and that Google will solve that bug.

Same problem. Stock N10, unrooted, latest updates and get the crash.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snakecharmer23:
I have been experiencing this problem for a few months now and it's apparently getting worse. I remember it starting just after I updated all my apps one night. The freeze would come randomly about once every 10 or 15 videos. Now the crashes come all the time. This week, I crashed the same video at the same spot 3 times before tossing the tablet aside in complete frustration.

It's very disappointing when a google branded product has such a bad problem on their own app. I'm on a trial of YouTube Red and this is not a good way to keep me interested.

Hi,

With the latest CM 13 nightly build with 6.0.1 Marshmallow the issue hasn't occurred yet.

Also the 4K video playback is working so far!! :D

Youtube app 10.49.59
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neox001:
Can't confirm that unfortunately. CM13 (latest nightly) and YouTube (latest version) I have the same issue.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcs27:
Stock Nexus 10 and I've been having this problem for about a month now. What a bunch of BS. As a loyal Google customer (I just bought a Nexus 6P also) I expect better customer support. Google products should at least be able to work together or is this just Google's way of trying to make us upgrade our hardware? The Nexus 10 was a premium tablet at introduction and I don't consider 3 years an appropriate end of life span. Sorry but had to rant.

Has anybody come up with a solution.... other than rooting?
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elreymon:
Someone said it could be a kind of bug in YouTube app. After two frezzes & reboots today, I can't state that it isn't an app problem because in both cases the crash was while playing videos with the web version of YouTube.

Note: I'm running stock ROM updated with latest security update fr January. So if we discard a YouTube app problem (all devices on that case should been affected) and a ROM update problem, it seems its a hardware problem, I am afraid.

---------- Post added at 11:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:35 PM ----------

If at least anyone could confirm that rooting can solve the problem it would be enough for me. By as far as I've read, no one has been able to confirm that.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcs27:
I would hate to think that this is hardware related and that the Nexus 10 is not capable of playing simple YouTube videos. I have not had this problem with Netflix, HBO, Showtime or any of the other video apps, so I'm still holding out hope that it's YouTube related, but still, we shouldn't be having this problem. It's not a rare problem either, if you look at the YouTube App reviews and filter it for Nexus 10, there are a lot of unhappy people. Google needs to address the problem.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] momulah:
AICP Nightly 20160105 build Youtube 1440p works with no freezing. Its not the youtube app. It is definitely an optimization in the roms causing this. I flashed the latest nightly and it started freezing again. Reverted and staying on jan 5 build as it is fast, flawless, and youtube works 100%. I cant see a difference though 1080p-1440p. Scratch last sentence as I looked at skyrim 4k videos and YES you can see the difference at 1440p. Images look almost 3D.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elreymon:
OK. So it´s:

a) a youtube related flaw (app and web version -becouse videos crashes on both versions-) or

b) an optimizations in the ROMs. About this last, momulah says tha with AICP Nightly 20160105 build Youtube works with no freezing.... insteresting.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcs27:
So.... this does not bode well for those of us that are just tablet users and not Android tweakers. What options do we have? I just want to sit down with my tablet, watch some videos, read a book, play a game, catch up on news, etc.... From what I remember reading (and I hope I'm wrong here) Google has abandoned support for the Nexus 10. I never bought into the IOS system because I liked that Android allowed some freedom, but I guess that comes at a price.

Is there any hope for us non-rooters?

---------- Post added at 07:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:41 AM ----------

Last night I tried using the Chrome browser to watch YouTube videos. When I hit play the video screen said "if your video does not start soon, restart your device". The video did not start, so I closed Chrome and opened Firefox (without restarting). Firefox played the videos with no problems. After about an hour I closed Firefox, reopened Chrome and the YouTube videos played fine. WTH???

latest YT build 11.04.55 is also causing problems for me.

I'm rooted running 5.1.1, xposed and YT Adaway.

Reverting back to YT version 10.49.59 (no dpi) and switching back to awesome player seems to work for me.

For what it's worth. Since YT 11 them seem to have changed the security protocol/checks (read this in the OP of YT adaway).

Maybe this is the issue here.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elreymon:
I'm sorry to inform you that despite of changing to awesome player, yesterday I had a freeze again :(. So this is not a final solution. But at least it seems to be a good workaround because for me it reduced a lot the occurrence of a reeboot.

We will keep investigating...
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DecypherT:
My fix seemed only temporary also.

I've updated to the latest YT version from "Play" a few days back.

At first switching to" awesomeplayer" worked as a workaround, but then the player in the browser (chrome) started freezing the tablet. If I switched to "nuplayer" this wasn't happening(?!?!).

As of today the "awesomeplayer" switch suddenly stopped working.

Didn't update anything concerning YT app or Google Apps.

What the hell is going on. How can something that works, suddenly stop working??
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dabanhfreak:
I was on AICP nightly and YouTube worked fine... It suddenly froze again

It would seem that it's an app problem. Reaching above I see a pattern of YouTube working at first, then crashing after a week. Perhaps you need to delete cache and/or data?? I'll test to find out.

---------- Post added at 11:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:25 AM

After deleting cache YouTube immediately plays at 1080p
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jarocho151:
My N10 would do this when I change the volume during playing a video. It would shortly freeze and reboot no matter the rom. I'll say just don't change the volume?
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DecypherT:
So do I understand it correctly, that this crashing is happening even with a custom kernel flashed?!

Negative. Tested this, not resulting in crashing on my N10.

Do any of you happen to use Xprivacy?

I checked for essential processes being blocked, but can't find any.

Maybe XPrivacy is the culprit?
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dabanhfreak:
It's been happening on Stock, CM13 and AICP. I haven't been flashing any custom kernels of any kind.

Right now I'm seeing if Clearing Cache is a solution.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elreymon:
1.- Change volume= As DecypherT says, for me it also doesn´t seem to be the problem.

2.- Problem of cache (try to delete cache often)= I will give it a try.

3.- I don´t have XPrivacy installed, and it freezes, so I won´t say it´s the culprit.

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] szachara:
I have this problem in more applications, not only in youtube. In my case this apps are affected youtube, chrome and csfd.cz app. After few seconds video freeze for 2-3 sec, but audio don't, so audio is before video and whole stream is desynchronized.

When I restart the tablet, this problem disappears, but after some time is back.

Only youtube application causes random tablet restarts, but only when video is freezing. When I manually restart tablet and videos aren't freezing, so I don't have any random restarts.

I think, that this problem is causing software library for video decoding, I don't know which library is used, may be if someone discover this, so would be good to try some older version.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DecypherT:
[MENTION=5567363]szachara[/MENTION], don't bother older versions are affected too. It seems to vanish, but the problem eventually comes back. Looks like it's coming back when the cache is starting to fill up.

I also have problems with videos freezing in Chrome and audio de-sync.

"Android System Webview" just got updated over here.

Changelog:

• Fixed crashes in WebView apps that use an app context.

• Improved performance on devices with Tegra K1 GPU (Nexus 9).

• Support for the EME API without prefixes.

• Support for ES6 - calculated property names.

EDIT: Have been doing some quick tests.

Full screen video in Chrome still not working flawlessly.

The seek bar is disappearing and reappears when closing full screen.

Using "nuplayer" instead of "awesomeplayer" still, almost completely freezes the tablet with short periods to quickly switch to the homescreen.

YT on the other hand seems to be working normally.

Still have to sit that one out..

Will report back when things change.

Today I have had my first freeze with an app different from YouTube. The curious thing has been coming here to inform about it (it's something new for me) and seeing that you were taking just about it.

So, I can confirm that with other app I have had a freeze and reboot. The app is this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mitelelite the only difference I have noticed is that the buzzing time was longer, but it finally ended in a reeboot.

It seems that it's not a YouTube problem. So let's investigate about OS and media libraries.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DecypherT:
[MENTION=2174740]elreymon[/MENTION], nope it's not a standalone YT issue.

I even had one freeze with chrome, while playing a video.

BUT, since the latest "Android System Webview" update YT isn't crashing on 720 and 1080p anymore.

On the other hand, on 1440p vids stop playing but the sound keeps going.

This really grinds my gears. Have been switching between the developer player settings constantly... Nothing seems to work and is seems to be a OS (software) problem.
