Video playing issues ever since Lollipop.

Hi, I'm new to these forums, and I'll be glad if someone could help me.

I have a Nexus 4, which has served me well for a long time. I'm not in a financial position to upgrade and I feel that the phone is still fast enough for my needs. However, I have been experiencing a very annoying issue ever since I upgraded to Lollipop back last year. The phone is currently up to date and was running a custom rom before i reverted to stock to upgrade to lollipop.

The issue is that after a while, the phone will just stop loading videos (on YouTube/Vine/Twitter). This wont be fixed until I reboot the phone. This happens almost every day and is extremely annoying. Changing from AwesomePlayer instead of NuPlayer in dev options also doesn't help. I've performed a factory reset, to no avail. Clearing cache also didn't help.

I don't know what to do any more. Any help would be appreciated.

You will have to do a hard reboot of your phone in order to start watching videos on YouTube again. I am seeing the same thing too but it seemed like that's the only way to clear things up.

Hi, I just did a hard reboot and the problem returned within an hour. Thanks though 😢

yeah you have to keep on rebooting your phone when this happens.. but it does not happen as often to me anymore. I think it has to do with the YouTube app and not the phone. I now used the mobile website to browse YouTube
