I just wanted to know if anyone else on the forums has been having problems playing embedded YouTube videos. When I click on the video it launches the HTC player, the video fully loads but the video stops a few seconds in and restart, this goes on. Occasionally a video will actually play all the way through.
This video I had problems with:

I have no problems playing videos on the YouTube app, is there any way to just make these videos play using the app instead?

So i some problems when it comes to viewing my videos i record through the phone. After i record them and go into 3d gallery to play them, they come out very choppy, like its loading and just skips through parts. It really is annoying cause the only way to view my videos is to record them and place them onto computer to properly watch them. Is anyone else having this problem? I switch between CM and MIUI roms. Both cause the same problem, i get the feeling it my be either my sd card or 3d gallery.
Hey i have the same problem. Every time I record a video then play it, it plays all choppy and weird, but if you play that same video twice, the second time will play it smoothly. I still don't know why this is happening, I'm also thinking it has something to do with the memory card. Hopefully somebody can help us out here.
Videos work fine with stock software.

Anyone else with some kind of solution?
I have done a search and couldn't find any similar threads, so if this has already been answered my apologies.
I am rooted w/ enrevoked3 and running stock 2.2. Every time I try to play a streaming video file, youtube or website, the video plays for about 30 sec and then says "sorry video cannot be played." I've reset to defaults in the browser settings and still showing the same thing. Issue was there before rooting as well.
Am I just missing something, or is it an evo issue?

That is not an Evo issue.
Sounds like your connection sucks.
Yep, bad connection. try viewing on wifi.
Just tested it on wifi and still have the same problem. Thanks though.

It's not an Evo problem, you may have something wrong with your software. Try a basic rom.
I have had this same issue. Any type of video file that I play gives me this type of error. I have even gone to the length of copying the videos in every format imaginable and putting them on my SD card and trying to play them off of the phone. It also happens when I am streaming videos from any website over any connection WiFi/3g/4g. So yes this is an EVO issue it just might be hardware related. I was having this problem before I rooted and no custom Rom or settings have been able to fix it.

Same here.. brand new stock..
Trying to stream video using BlueRSS and it don't work.
Can copy the vide to my SD card and it plays just find.
Done this same setup with my Hero in the past and it has streamed just fine.
Has no one come up with a fix for this yet ? It happens when I stream or have the files saved directly to my SD card. Happens on every file type. Wmv mp4 3gp any video file type. Does not to appear to be a rhyme or reason why it happens. Happens over 3g, 4g, wifi, and stored on SD card. Regular HTC video player, YouTube, internet browser, every video files does it. Some will play for 10 seconds to a minute. Then all give the error "Sorry, this video cannot be played"
Please can someone help.

Ok. It happens on HTC stock Rom with no root. And rooted. Also happens with frosts roms. Have tried a couple different versions of his roms but haven't had it work. I haven't tried any others. I would be willing to do that but I fail to see how if it won't work with either an original stock or a custom how it would work with any other rom.
It appears you don't have this issue yet your just trying to input your opinion. Well for the people this is happening to its very frustrating. And keep in mind I am no novice like most people are/ and some on here are. I am very advanced in IT and have tried all of the trouble shooting that I could think of to fix the problem. That being said if you have a Rom that fixes this and you have gone through it yourself please by all means enlighten us. If not please go somewhere else to post your thoughts. We are trying to actually come up with a solution to the problem not ridicule or talk "down" to the people experiencing the issue.
Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated if anyone else has fixed this issue with their phone.

I found a fix for mine that has worked for about 4 days with no problems so far. Of course not a fix for the YouTube app, but works for everything else I've had problems with. Downloaded dolphin hd and vplayer beta from the market. In dolphin, go to settings and change the user agent to iPhone. Then use vplayer to stream the video instead of the HTC player.
Worked for me, with airborne virus rom.

It appears that it may be the player that is not allowing streaming. Installed RockPlayer and I no longer get the cannot play video message and the video plays/streams... Give it a try.

I have also found that the latest version of vPlayer Beta now streams as well.
I am so happy!
The solution is to download Miren Browser from Market and set user agent to iPhone 4.

Thanks...this worked for me!!!!
Anyone else have issues using the Youtube App in relation to an endless amount of buffering? If i try to watch a HQ video thru the App it has to buffer every 5 seconds or so.....making it pretty much impossible to use. I can however load youtube in a browser, and stream just fine.....leading me to believe the App is the problem. My wifes iPad streams thru it's Youtube App without issue, so I know it isn't a router problem or anything of that nature either. Anyone else having similar issues? Or anyone know of a solution?
Anyone else having issues might want to try this youtube apk. Seems to be working better than the lastest version from the play store.

hey guys,
i recorded some videos from a bball game in HD. during playback the video will stop like someone was hitting pause. i checked to see if it was a storage issue, have plenty of room. I thought it was because it was recording to sd card, moved to phone storage same problem. i downloaded MX PLAYER from the app store and it works fine.
wanted to see if anyone was experiencing issues with the video player.
