I have a xoom UK WiFi. I'm running Omni 4.4.4 (I think).

I have an issue where any video I watch in any browser doesn't work properly.

Chrome/Chrome Beta crashes when I try
Firefox plays the video sound is fine but frame rate is like 0.5FPS
Stock Browser black window unless you go full screen, then it is the same is firefox.

Videos play fine in the Youtube app or from a file

I did a system update a while back and I think this is what screwed it up. It definitely worked before.

Any Ideas how to fix?

I am not sure the cause, but I have the same issues (with the exception of the 0.5FPS issue). If the videos work in Stock Browser, they play at the proper speed - sometimes I have to full screen them, other times not.

The resolution I've found for videos that do not play properly in the stock browser is to use Dolphin Browser and ensure that Flash is installed.

Chrome - I was having too many issues with it crashing/freezing (irrelevant of videos), so I gave up on it quite a while ago.

I haven't used Firefox enough to comment.
