Hangouts Video Calling on Lollipop ROMs [T700]



I've bounced around a number of different AOSP/CM12.1 based lollipop roms lately and Hangouts video calling seems to work on none of them. The app opens up and sends messages without issue, but when I try to make or accept a video call I get the error "Sorry, Hangouts has stopped working" or something like that. The app doesn't crash, I just get that message and the video call ends. I've tried this over the last few months on various versions of CM12.1 official nightlies, BlissPop, SlimLP, and AICP. I haven't tried a TouchWiz ROM, because, frankly, I've no desire to stay on it even if it works.

To make sure it wasn't something silly I was doing (and to get the functionality back) I just flashed an unofficial CM11 ROM and it works without a hitch.

Is this a commonly known problem? Is there any fix I can do? Any ROM you can recommend that doesn't have this problem? I'd love to be on lollipop, as I've gotten rather accustomed to it, but this functionality is one of the reasons I bought the tablet. Thanks!
