Video Playback Choppy

Belcheee · May 28, 2014

Hi, every time I try to play a video from a USB stick the playback is generally smooth but every minute or so goes a bit laggy/choppy. Sound is always fine though.

I have a full hd 1080p Samsung TV and I'm not sure if it is the Xbox or the TV that is the issue.

It does not generally happen playing games or downloaded videos.

Any ideas appreciated. Thanks.

:)

The Official "Problems with YouTube app" thread

YouTube video playback in snap mode on Xbox ONE needs to be fixed. When the feature was first added, it was really choppy,, and out of sync. The update after that (current) seemed to improve that a little. It's still choppy (though slightly less), and the
A/V sync is pretty much okay, considering the stil choppy video.

Other video apps seem to play just fine snapped, be it live TV, streaming apps, and even throwing HD video from my tablet to the xbox video app (via DLNA). So yeah, only the YouTube app seems to play videos choppy while snapped.

I hope this gets fixed ASAP.

OneDrive/SkyDrive App Choppy Video Playback

Video playback on the Xbox 360 has been choppy, particularly using the OneDrive/SkyDrive app. Has anybody else seen this performance issue? I can stream the same video file on a Surface RT without any issues, but on the Xbox 360 it's been a very poor experience.
How can I troubleshoot video playback issues on the Xbox?

Are you on the One or the 360?

I've played vidieo from a USB on the 360 without any issues.

It could be the USB or the integrity of the recording.

Hmm, you said you downloaded it? That shouldn't give you a choppy playback. Let's try first clearing the console cache. Any good there?

On a side note, clearing the cache wiped out the license so I can't watch it anymore.

Thanks for the suggestion, unfortunately it didn't work. Still choppy.

Yes, I downloaded the video instead of streamed because where I am doesn't have enough bandwidth to stream in HD, but I have an HDTV with HDMI input.

I agree it is very strange. On a side note, I have tried watching it again and I noticed that if I pause the video for an extended period, then press play, the video plays in 2x the speed, almost as if it was catching up to the time the video would have
been had I not paused it. Meaning, if I pause for 20 seconds, the video plays in 2x the speed through the next 20 seconds. Very strange.
