My HTC Magic suddenly can´t play videos from youtube. I get the message "Sorry can´t play this video".
I have done a hard reset. This did not solve the problem. Any idea what could be wrong ?
Some new & old videos from youtube needs to be rendered and converted to playable formats compatible with the android system. This can take hours just as a newly video has been uploaded on their data base or might take months, depends on Google.
Example:
Little Johnny uploads a video on youtube. He tries to watch the newly uploaded video on his android device.
He can't, "Sorry, can't play this video". He keeps trying and trying, still the same result.
Behind the scenes a Google employee/super computer grabs Little Johnny's video and converts it to a playable format compatible with android devices.
The next day Little Johnny tries to watch the video again on his android device and was jubilant to find out that the video started to play.
Answer: Time heals all wounds; just wait it out.
I am not sure that is how is works. Youtube works periodically with the same video. Sometimes it will play the video sometimes it will not. I suspect it might have something do with wheather Youtube is able to launch the videoplayer.
... I am not sure though and it is very annoying

Hey all
Took some video the other day. Was having trouble with my droid saving it. Kept showing that the recorded time was 0 while i was "recording"
Finally got it to record correctly after rebooting, and saved it.
but now when i go to watch them, the video player will say the files are damaged. but i can bring them up on a PC and they play fine.
I did edit the stagefright for HTTP Media, could that be an issue. I thought I read that was fixed though, and only applied if you turned ALL of stagefright on. I just wanted the streaming video part.
Any ideas?
The files play back fine right after I take them, but them 20 minutes later "files are damaged and cannot be played"
Tried a few apps too (mixzing, video player, and from the gallery)
however i CAN play the "video message" sized one I took the same day fine.. just looks like crap
I went to YouTube tonight and tried to play a YouTube video and all I got was "Loading Video." The "circle" kept spinning around, but it was taking so long to "load," I had to discontinue.
#1- Why is this happening? Shouldn't the video load fairly quickly?
#2- Also, if the video did load and play, would it remain on my Elocity, taking up much needed free space? Do YouTube videos I play have to be deleted from some place on my Elocity?
Still don't know why the YouTube video didn't play.
Can anyone help please?

I just update to 3.1 to my WIFI XOOM using Clockwork Recovery method .
this first thing in notice is that it was listed as a Verizon
Motorola Xoom in the web market, while the original listing (
Motorola Xoom) still there.
Any way, after playing my 2nd video in YouTube app, strange bug happened , any video i want to play after that , YT would play the same 2nd video and not the video i selected! i tried to select different videos by searching or selecting one from the main dashboard and it will not play the video i selected but will always play the same 2nd video although the info,comment and related video is for the one i selected and not the one playing!
I forced close YouTube from the Mange Applications setting, clear all data and cache and rebooted my Xoom, still didn't works and the same bug happened! I really started to hate this video after playing it or the millionth time
am i alone in this , any one else got that same bug!
Update 1: It's seem like HD issue, whem play video in SD it's play the desired video!
I'm not sure if this is an Android thing, or the website's problem, but after updating a while back to KitKat, I can no longer properly view videos on a certain website (and others I think), that I know are not Flash. I believe they are MP4. The videos will display their thumbnail, and even play a few seconds sometimes, but then just pause and not be able to continue. If I click an alternate link for the video, my Nexus 7 says, "This video cannot be played" or something like that. I've tried the same videos in Chrome, and Boat, with similar results. What can I do to fix this? Did something change in KitKat that could have caused this?
