YouTube app no longer displaying snapshot. - Touch HD General

My youtube app no longer displays a small snapshot image of the video. Instead I get a grey/white TV icon.
The video plays fine once you tap on the title.
Anyone else experience the same problem?

Yeap, exactly the same problem here. I guess something must have changed at Youtube's end.

Hello,
the same here... no pictures in the listing anymore.
Is this realy a "server" problem, or a HD failure?
StHenker

same here what's going on.....first it's google maps zoom in now youtube, what's next???

I dunno, but it's a pain

Apparently Google have updated their back end and this is causing problems with You Tube on many HTC devices.
I was told that HTC are working in conjunction with Google to provide a fix.

yrreP how did you find this out. good that you told me. i thing i reset my hd about 5 times. thanks for the heads up. do you know when its gonna get fixed

HTC told me..!
It came from an official source in Taiwan.

Hope its true and get fixed as otherwise its doesn't make any sense if one cannot see a preview pic in the list.

Seems to be working again

Mine is working just fine... I am posing this message on Nov 20th, Thursday night at 9:30 PM EST from USA.

Result!
also working in UK (Friday 21st Nov 07:10 GMT)

When I try to load the YouTube App, it says "Connection Failed" - anyone know why this might be (I'm on a HSPA connection - data is on). Also, when I load the youtube webpage, the thumbnails for videos appear, but the video's themselves do not...?
I've loaded .Net framework 3.5. Any help appreciated!
Petrov.

I've tried a hard reset now - but still no luck. Youtube app comes up with "Connection Failed". I'm with T-Mobile in the Uk. Anyone else seeing this, either in the UK or as part of T-Mobile in the UK?
EDIT: I've figured it out. If you get the HD from Expansys at least, it comes configured using the T-Mobile proxy server. To get the YouTube app to work, I had to go to Start>Settings>Connections (tab)>Connections (icon)>"Edit my proxy server"> then UN-check the block titled "This network uses a proxy server to connect to the Internet".
Nonetheless, while the youtube app works and lets me play videos via the application, I still can't play videos from the actual youtube.com homepage (or any other flash video sites).
Hope this helps others too. Perhaps even worth a mention in the wiki tweaks?
Petrov.

sounds like you're volunteering there mrpetrov

got my pure about a week ago. since day one i hard spld it and have been flashing away. i never checked youtube on any of the roms until a few days ago. what is happening is i click youtube play. it loads the screen showing most recent vids and shows the picture of the video to play on the left. i click the video and it goes to full screen with the buttons. says connecting and the wheel is spinning like its searching. that is all it does then. just searches and searches. never ever a video gets played. just wondering if anybody with a pure is able to watch the youtube play videos without any problems. it might be something in my phone that i have to get it exchanged. i dont know. any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks.

Isn't this just the removehiddenproxy cab? If so, it's already loaded on the Pure!
I get "connecting" a lot on some videos, yet others work fine. If the linked hiddenproxy one is different, LMK, and I'll try that.

The pure has it. If you unlock medianet, you will see that there isn't a selected proxy, and you can verify "hidden proxy" with the cab...
start, tools, proxy manager.

that's obvious if you use the stock rom. if you flash a different rom that is not the case.
worse than u, i even can't run it after installation of cab...
some one said it is the problem of rom.
Notice how youtube on the internet regular computer requires you to login for even slightly risky content?
I'm thinking it's THIS.
Is there a new HTC version of youtube player that allows you to login to youtube?

Youtube

Hi all
I am having problems with logging in to youtube through HTC sense on the HD2. I can log in to Facebook and twitter just fine, but whenever I try to log in to youtube, nothing happens - the icon does not turn green, but stays greyed out. I have tried on 2 different HD2s, using two different youtube accounts, and have even tried following a hard reset with the same results. I have tried to log in using the data services in the settings, and also using the account manager in the connections settings. I would like to be able to upload my videos to youtube from the HTC album, but of course I can't do this until I am logged in.
Is anyone having similar issues? I am using the 1.43 ROM on O2 in the UK. I don't really want to upgrade until the official ROM is released.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Just had the issue with my German Tmobile ROM.
Youtube was disabled...or no idea what Tmobile did to the ROM.
Now with the clean 1.48 everything works fine.
regards
brook
I'm on t-mobile on the uk and YouTube does not seem to work over 3G or HSDPA. works ok over wifi, now running 1.48 WWE ROM.
Sent from HD2 keyboard
One thing I will ask, is there any way when using the Youtube application, that when you do a search, the search results are similar to that of the actual Youtube website.
I often do a search in the app and will get no results, or very different results and on the website will gain the proper results.
Any suggestions?

Youtube login fix
Ive noticed something odd about the logins in Sense UI for youtube (and probably Facebook etc), if you have a non-alphanumeric password (a password with say [email protected] etc ) you won't be able to login. Just change your password with google/youtube and you can login. I assume the same goes for twitter and facebook.
Thanks for all the responses. Looks like my best bet is to wait for O2 to bring us the official 1.48 (or 1.49) upgrade, or to try the goldcard method. Just to respond to some of the suggestions, I have tried both over wifi and 3g with the same result, and I already have an alphanumeric password. Anyone else having this issue?
yep I have an official o2 ROM and I can't log into YouTube.
Looking suspiciously like an issue with the O2 rom. Have asked over at the O2 forums if anyone else is experiencing this. Will keep you updated.
Im on o2 and I dont have a problem, works fine for me.
Im also still on .143 rom.

Another troll post by you... reported!
On topic: If your device didn't come with the youtube application, you might want to try this alternative: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=508984
For all Coreplayer users: Coreplayer also has Youtube integrated.
By the way:
I have written ALL of my recent posts on the HTC HD2. Typing on a mobile phone has never been so easy.
I made a thread concerning the youtube app and the camcorder. My T-mobile device didn't come with the youtube app so I decided to install it but it seemed to mess up my camcorder. I wasn't able to play the videos back.
Has anybody had this problem?
yep i`m on tmobile and i have the same problem, desperate for a fix!!!!! i have the original youtube app off the topaz/hd but my videos wont play when this is installed, uninstall it an my videos play fine. i wish i had the knowledge or understanding to make this work, unfortunatly i dont LOL!!
someone on this forum must know how to fix this, surely!
OK, I'm making progress. I created a new youtube account, which I can now log in to properly from the phone. My original youtube account still isn't working, though. From feedback I have had elsewhere, I'm wondering whether this has anything to do with the fact that this is linked to my google account. For those still having this issue, I would suggest trying to create a new account on the youtube website and trying to log in to that. Also, I noticed that I have to log in using my user name only, not with the email address, as this doesn't work. Hope this helps someone.
same problem
mine was working fine until today when I goldcarded it to the official htc 1.48.405.2 rom. now it doesn't work.
anyone figured this issue out yet?

AmazonMP3

i extracted and created the cab based on the HD2 leaked rom....havent used it to download anything, but here it is...you can thank me individually
Anyone have a short description of what this app does?
it allows you to purchase mp3's through your phone using amazon
Thanks. I will try it out since I purchase most of my mp3's through Amazon. I can't seem to preview songs on PIE or Opera 10. So I have been using SkyFire to listen to and purchase songs on Amazon. For those of you that don't know, once you set up your "one-click" purchasing options on Amazon you simply click, then tell navigate to where you want the mp3 saved and you have a truly portable high-quality mp3. Much better quality than iTunes (I feel sorry for those folks still using iTunes).
first of all thanks for doin this, i've been looking for an amazon mp3 app for months. so far it seems to be workin great, haven't bought anything yet, but will update once i have. again good job and thanks
Has anyone purchased anything with this yet? I keep getting "User authenticated: Fail"

Same here. I love the potential of this app, but for now it is easier for me to go through Opera or Skyfire. Here are the issues I am having:
The login settings seem to stick, but I also get the above "User authenticated : Fail"
After a search that brings up multiple results I can preview the song in many mp3 apps (TCPMP, WMP, PocketMusic). With all of these players, after I finish the preview and go back to the Amazon window, it goes back to the home page and I lose my search. In other words I cannot preview more than one song per search. So i have to do the search all over again to get to a second or third preview.
If I close the player that was previewing my mp3 the Amazon app closes as well. I have to leave the player open and task back to the Amazon app to keep it open. but again, it returns to the Home page and loses my search results.
When I click the 'Download' button on the Home page the resulting screen does not give me any way to return to the Home page. The only options are two soft keys, 'Clear List' and 'Retry Failed'.
This is a 'close but no cigar' for me. Anyone else not having those problems? I am on stock Tilt 2 ROM.
will this work in the UK or is it US specific?
Yeah I am also getting a user autenticated fail error. Oh well hopfully it will be officially released for Windows Mobile one day (or I guess when WP7 hits).
I am getting a user autenticated fail error too.
same error
Amazon MP3
Looks very nice but does not work, totaly useless because you cannot login.
Anybody get this to work?
Thanks..
Marc
All same issues here...
I would hope the person who modified the CAB would be checking this thread to see what is going on with it/update and fix bugs....
So how do i get this to work on my HTC HD2 then exactly?? please tell me1
authentication failed
I had this problem too. Have you rooted your phone, or perhaps uninstalled amazonmp3 and then reinstalled it? I started getting the authentication failure after I rooted my phone. I was able to solve the problem by creating a second account over at Amazon.com.
Elsewhere, I've read about people solving related amazonmp3 problems by going to the amazonmp3 menu and selecting something like "erase everything". (But I didn't know that when I solved my problem by creating the second amazon.com account.)

skyfire is out already

just google it skyfire then download its for free......
seems to be working, but the "loading video" screen stays on top at 50% while the video plays in the background.. hmmm
Thanks for the heads up! Skyfire works like a charm, it maybe isn't as smooth as the standard browser. However the 'video tab' works really well! Finally 'kinda' flash support.
Install?
Im having problems installing the app. Once I get to the screen where they ask if I would like to install Skyfire and click install it goes back to the same screen again. Anybody else experience the same thing?
worked a treat for me.. are you downloading from the Market?.. try the old fashioned trick.. power off and on then try again!!

For Vimeo videos it does this, for youtube it plays them fine, weird.
Tried this on the BBC News website, it was supposed to show a summary of this evenings debate, what I got was a download screen that stuck at 74% while a video of Obama talking about the oil slick played behind it. Several other sites I tried it loaded the mobile version of the site which automatically assumed the browser had no flash support. Another site I tried it failed to notice the video content.
I think it is a little optimistic to call this a Beta, it shows promise but there seem to be quite a few fundamental bugs that need to be ironed out.

Video uploads to Youtube from HD2

Has anyone successfully uploaded videos to youtube from their TMO HD2? I have the stock shipping ROM on mine
I am doing the upload from photos and video in sense
Every time I upload one it goes all the way to 100% uploaded then gives an error message that the service is not available at this time. I have tried a few times over the past 2 weeks or so and get the same thing every time, so im highly doubting its a temporary service outage at youtube

Yup
No problem
Here is one I uploaded...and in the info tag it says uploaded with HTC phone.. it works...I am running the 2.13 Stock ROM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8xxEfvlYHk
Works fine for me too on the updated stock ROM too bro. Just uploaded my HD2 extended battery video last night!
Bleh, I just retried and it still doesn't work. Tried on stock earlier and right now on indie's Omega XT rom and still no go
I managed to get this working by going into Manila Settings, then Data Services, then turning Youtube off and then back on.

Interesting, because im still using my youtube username only. I have not yet linked a google account to my youtube, maybe that's why. Youtube pesters me now and then to link one and I just click later.
