Playing local Google Play videos lag/ stutter, how can I fix it?

[AC Question]

Playing local Google Play videos lag/ stutter

Hi, I recently purchased a Huawei P8. When i download videos onto the device from Google Play they start lagging after a couple of minutes and then keep lagging every few seconds.

So far i have tried converting them to .avi's and playing through MX Player - No luck.
Trying to work through the developer options- No luck
Tried talking to the Huawei support line- pffft NO luck.
Updating Google Play - nope
Rebooting the phone - nope
deleting the video and starting again - no
factory reset - no.


Never had the same issue with my SG4.

Any help would be MOST appreciated.

Welcome to Android Central! If the Google Play Movies app was preinstalled, try booting into Safe Mode and see if you can play the videos normally: http://consumer.huawei.com/en/mobile-phones/support/faqs/detail/y511-en.htm?id=19175
