So, here I am, owning a phone that has an OS designed by google, trying to click on links for youtube videos "also owned by google" and I get (This video is not available on mobile)
WTF google. I know that I can choose to "open in browser" and wish me luck trying to fullscreen it.
why is the native youtube for android so limited? Half of the new, popular videos are unwatchable.
is there a way around this?
I have the same exact problem and I think it sucks too. You would think since they own Youtube there would be awesome integration via the mobile site or the application but I have found they absolutely suck on both accounts. I either get the "video not available" error, or it just takes FOREVER to load on the application (which it didn't at all on my TP2). Jeez...
works fine for me, both as flash on the site and linking to the youtube app
I believe it has something to do with licensing maybe? I am going to go out on a limb and say it was a music video or something? If so, the only logical thing I can think of is that they do that so you aren't tempted to just keep replying the song instead of buying it?

its not music videos... most of the video links that go to youtube on reddit seem to not work in the native app...
its just frustrating cause the youtube app works so well. Hopefully they will fix that.

have you tried the "hex edited flash" ?
I don't think it is that... some videos are just not meant for the app...
The thing that sucks is that it clears cache EVERY time you scroll back in a youtube video.
That needs to get fixed ASAP. Such an obvious flaw. I can't even watch a video in the app anymore. I use the browser, which the controls suck on as well.
It's copyrighted videos only...

That may be, but if I watch it on my desktop or phone makes no difference if it available to watch for free on YouTube.

I used to get those messages ALL the time, but after updating the app in the market, I've never gotten it again. Like go into the market, and download youtube.
Do the videos that you can't watch on mobile have ads before the actual video on desktop? I'm guessing some of the stuff is copyright material and are ad-driven. The mobile app doesn't display ads so maybe thats why it doesn't show.
And yea, it does suck, but i kinda understand how it would be this way. If they started showing ads to make the videos available on mobile, then people without "unlimited" data plans like new iphone users on the new ATT plans will complain that its eating up additional data, and a whole different round of complaints will go around.
Can't please everyone all the time.
Then they should just say it's due to ads. Or add a little confirmation box: "You must view an ad before you can see this video. This may cause you to incur extra data usage charges. Do you wish to continue?".
I somehow suspect it's due to some licensing crap, though. The MAFIAA don't want to accept that everything's a computer these days.
its not due to any ads. mobile viewing vs. desktop computer based viewing carry different licenses for content. there is nothing wrong with the app in regards to this.
when you upload videos there is an option to make that content available on mobile devices....
It depends on the video, and your internet connection.
I've found that if you retry to play a video, sometimes the 3G doesn't connect fast enough or load up enough of the video in time that the app likes, and it just spits out that generic message. You will probably have better luck on 4G or WiFi.
Also, some music videos and some other videos are restricted due to licensing issues. Majory being music videos though.
Just open it in the browser and hold your finger on the video for a second. You should see two boxes show up, one will make it full screen. I rarely even use the app any more because it's quicker for me to just pull up the page.
Same here, the page seems to just work better than the app. Hate the fact that forward/rewind wipes the cache, very annoying.
did NUMEROUS tests....and got the following results
xoom --hdmi--hdtv =
---great performance on NON maximized youtube videos both HQ and non HQ
---good performance on maximized LOWQUALITY video (HQ OFF..which is absolutely disgusting to see though)
---SEVEREEEE problems with HQ ON on FULL size (either sound is of and video is retarded or says PROBLEM PLAYING VIDEO, TAP TO RESTART
Suggestions??
I'm finding that the youtube app as a whole is a little buggy. At one point while using it with the hdmi my whole tablet restarted. Everything else played fine using hdmi. The youtube app has forced closed or just plain quit on its own many times even when not using hdmi.
How about other videos apps? Do they work?

I had the exact same thing happen to me as onehitter; my Xoom rebooted when I hit HQ.
I used RockPlayer to test some episodes of The Office that I've got, along with an AVI of Year One, both worked fine.
I tested a few games, they all looked spectacular. See attached - Mario never looked so good.
Youtube seemed to work completely fine when I was playing it through the HDMI, even in HQ. However, when I was done I was playing with the tablet and long pressed on the homescreen to change a widget and it just completely powered down my Xoom. I don't know the exact cause but it was almost immediately after playing with Youtube.

So I loaded up the YouTube app and played a video, it was on HQ by default. Within the App and not Full-Screen the video played just fine. But as said, as soon as I went to full screen the Xoom turned itself off.
I'm sure it's just a software glitch (one of a few I've run into so far) and it will be fixed in an update.

Is that done by simply plugging in the HDMI cable and switching your TV over to that mode? It'll just pop up?

I had to re-start my Xoom with the cable plugged in to get it work the first time. It was pretty cool (and a little startling) to see the Honeycomb start-up animation just appear on a 60" screen.
I've tried the new Netflix app, but no luck.
Anyone do any better?
What happens when you try? The app runs on my phone (abeit extremely slow), but doesn't want to play what I select. It shows it loading, then the screen blanks, and takes me back to the main menu.
Of course, the last thing I ever thought I'd want to play a movie on is my tired old G1.

Hi guys,
So whenever I'm watching a video with the YouTube app in HD it constantly stop play, loads, then plays,then loads then play.....you get the idea. At first I though it was a bandwidth issue but if I'm on other WiFi connections that I know are faster than mine I have the same issue. If I take it off of HD mode it runs fine. Has anyone else experienced this and is there a known fix for it? Or is this maybe a WiFi hardware issue with the N10? It sucks not being able to watch YouTube videos on my N10. Thanks for the feedback guys!

ya mine just keeps trying to load every like 30 seconds, its horrible. Issue only happens in HD.
To be honest, I'd be more willing to peg this issue (which I've seen as well from time to time) to the Nexus 10's rather underwhelming Wi-Fi performance. It's the one thing about Android that always really bugs me-- of all the devices I've owned, the iPad/iPod Touch (gifted that one though to my roommate) have had the fewest issues with Wi-Fi. And it's bizarre. There's no reason it should happen, but I've seen the gauntlet of problems (including everyone's favorite "Avoiding poor connection").
installed smarttube app from play store and no issue withe the same video. no problems with skype video. only youtube - even just 10 feet from router with every other app rocking it.

It's probably partly because of your connection speed and partly because of the way buffering works on the native Android app, which seems badly done.
Generally speaking, the native Youtube app for Android is pretty badly done. It doesn't let you choose the exact resolution you want like on the Flash player, ie 360p, 480p, 720p, or 1080p, only HD or not. It will automatically start downloading in HD if it thinks your connection is fast enough and won't let you switch to non-HD until after it has buffered in HD and starts playing a bit. It doesn't let you order a channel's videos by popularity, though you can get around that by going to the website, ordering by popularity, and then clicking on the videos from there. It will buffer a video, but if you switch to another app and then come back, it will often randomly lose that buffering, meaning you have to wait while it downloads all over again.
It is amazing how bad this app is after so many years of being out.

Sometimes I know the connection is okay, but YouTube just likes to be a jerk. It happens to me occasionally, but something I've dealt with.
Generally, I download the YouTube video and watch it (or watch it on my train ride later!). Usually those kind of apps are helpful even if you have a slow connection so you don't get that stuttering when trying to watch a video.
I've heard some good things about this YouTube Downloading app. Personally, I haven't tried it; I use TubeMate from the amazon app-store.
In a different way, this should help.

Thank you for the suggestions, ill give them a shot! cheers!
YouTube version 5.18 puts back 1080p and 1440p for all.
(Thanks very much to @jruasap, he's the one who uploaded the APK!)
Instructions:
1. Settings>Application Manager> YouTube> Uninstall Updates
2. Install https://www.dropbox.com/s/k1z2y730k9cmqdo/youtube-5.9.0.10.apk
(make sure allow installation from unknown sources is checked in Security)
3. Uncheck Auto-Update on YouTube's Play Store Page.
4. BEFORE OPENING clear YT's data in the Application Manager.
4. Enjoy and hit "THANKS" if I helped!
INSTRUCTIONS FROM THIS POINT ARE COURTESY OF @Syntax323
If you have the option for 1080 and 1440p, it does work! Just because it doesn't switch instantly does not mean it doesn't work.
Youtube changed, they don't switch instantly anymore. It buffers in the background, and while watching it will switch automatically.
Though, that is ONLY if your connection is fast enough. Just because you're on 5ghz, doesn't mean your download speed is fast. That is just a faster radio frequency your router is putting out.
You have to realize you're trying to stream 1080 and 1440p which is very high detail, meaning the file sizes are huge. So, if your download speed isn't fast enough to download it/buffer while watching than it isn't going to switch.
This is a little 'trick' I do to 'force' it to go I to 1080/1440p whenever I want.
"Forcing" LG G3 into 1440p:
http://youtu.be/e9aIf7Uq378
Given, my download speed is 25-35mbps.
Do a speed test, and post. You're results. If you're only getting like 8-10 chances are it isn't gonna buffer 1440p. Wont be able to catch up.
Okay, here is 2nd Solution if my first post didn't work for you. Only do this if my steps did NOT work for you.
Move on to step 5 ONLY if 1080p/1440p are still not showing for you.
5. Only do the following steps if the above does not work for you still.
6. Download YouTube 5.9.0.13.apk from here -> https://www.dropbox.com/s/qh23f5yaajv5dlh/com.google.android.youtube-5.9.0.13.apk?dl=0
7. Now unlike the above DO NOT uninstall updates.
8. Once finished downloading, go ahead and open it and install it, again do NOT uninstall prior versions/updates of youtube.
9. Once installed, like above do NOT open.
10. Go to settings -> Apps -> All -> YouTube -> clear data
11. Open YouTube, find 4k video (GoPro has some particularly dazzling videos) You should now have 1080p/1440p again.
12. Enjoy and hit "THANKS" if I helped, and thank @Syntax323!
Didn't work. Not sure why. I uninstalled and installed the download. Nothing changed. Still 720p max on a known 1440p video

4. BEFORE opening the app, go into settings -> Appear -> All -> YouTube -> Clear cache -> Clear Data
For some reason clearing cache and data after installing the 5.9.0.10 and before running it fixes it. I had same problem and everything I did wouldn't work. Even clearing cache and data after I ran it didn't work. Have to install it, than clear, than run it and you will have 1440p back.

Well, this only sort of worked. I was able to get 1080p and 1440p options to appear, but choosing them does nothing. The videos, even those with 1440p in the description, still play at 480p or 720p. It's like YouTube is going out of its way to keep the UHD videos from being played.

No, that's good! It works, trust me!
What its doing is trying to load it. 1 video in 1440p is very large. Your download speed on internet had to be fast to be able to play it. Even 1080p. So even when you click it, its going to go to the closest resolution to play so you can continue to watch while its loading the resolution you selected.
When you load a video, select 1440p, than drag the little thing to the beginning of the video so it starts from beginning.
Trust me, 1080p and 1440p are working for you, they are just buffering in background.
Or, after you select it, it will switch to it automatically when it buffers enough. Just have to have fast speeds on wifi or lte.
That's good. So it worked for you.
You better have unlimited data if you try using LTE. The videos are MASSIVE.

I disagree with you. It's not working. In the past, when I've chosen a higher resolution video, YouTube immediately paused for a second or two while it buffered. It's not doing that. When I click on 1080p or 1440p the video just keeps playing. Also, if I go back to the settings to choose the resolution again it shows that I have 480p or 720p playing, not the high resolution I wanted and clicked on previously.. Furthermore, there is no visible change in resolution, something that I was able to see in the past. I truly believe YouTube has simply disabled the ability to watch videos above 720p - at least via mobile devices.

It had to be pretty high to play.
You want me to take a video of me showing you what I mean, and how I play 1440p on my g3? Cause it does work. Its worked for 10-15 others I've helped as-well.
All of them said same thing as you, but it doesn't switch instantly anymore. It does what Netflix does now. You know, when you see the quality changing... when its pixelated than it gets hd without even pausing...

Here is a screenshot I just now took playing in 1440p the Gopro video I posted above.
Mine seems to switch to 1080p/1440p easier in landscape than it does in portrait for some reason though.
Also, if YouTube disabled it, you wouldn't be getting the 1080p/1440p option at all.
Its not like we are doing a hack, or modified apk. There is nothing crazy going on here, its not a glitch. Its straight from there own app .
Plus, 1440p still works on pc, and other phones np. I'm guessing it was a bug that is happening here.
They wouldn't disable it for the LG G3, when LG has been a partner with Google making the Nexus' and main selling point of this phone is it's screen.
So, its not disabled. Just has a hard time playing if not on a fast/stable connection.

You must be the lucky one. And I appreciate your effort. But it just won't work. I have 1080p and 1440p as options, but clicking on them doesn't change to that resolution. It stays at the original lower resolution. Honestly, though, it's not a big deal for me. I don't watch YouTube videos all that often and watching at the highest resolution isn't a priority for me.

It isn't going to switch right away dude. It will take awhile, and its a huge pain in the ass. You have to select it, than start video over from beginning.
Do a speed test, and tell me what your download speed is.

I'm showing the options .. but no matter what I select, it stays on 720p. It LOOKS 1440, but the actual selector stays on 720. Even when I select 144, it plays it super high resolution. I give up lol. It's probably just playing 1440 and I don't know it. @Syntax323

It isn't going to switch right away dude. It will take awhile, and its a huge pain in the ass. You have to select it, than start video over from beginning.
Do a speed test, and tell me what your download speed is.

Dude, my apologies. It is working. I now see what you mean by it buffering in the background while continuing to play the lower resolution video. It's nearly 1am here, I worked 15.5 hours today, and I just took two percocet to ease the pain from my 13 week old broken leg. In any event, thanks for your effort here. I hope others stumble upon this thread. Cheers friend.
