Google just released the new update for Youtube app in Android Market.
After I updated the app on my Nook Color, running on CM 7 RC, I found that Youtube app failed to load any clip at all.
Does anyone have this problem? I also have Nexus 1 which is updated as well but doesn't have such a problem.
Any ideas? Is it possible to downgrade Youtube by uninstalling it?
** My Nexus 1 recently has a new Market app but my NC is yet not upgraded. Is it going to be a big matter for a rooted NC?

I have the same problem, it keeps loading and never actually loads the vids. So good thing i made a back up before upgrading. I cleared app data, wiped dalvik/cache and still a no go. It seems other phones are also having problems with the update. I
All these new google apps are messed up -_-

Working OK here; CM7 nightly (151).
Hmmm. I just realized that Google AD, which plays right before the clip, is loaded and played. However, the clip I touched in is having a problem: "There was a problem while playing. Touch to Retry."
In the moment the HQ button appears, unchecked it. Videos will play in low quality fine. Waiting on a fix.

Reading the rating comments for the Youtube app in the market, it appears that this problem isn't limited to the NC and is occuring on several other platforms also.
I have only been able to get 1 video to play correctly. While watching my router's status lights, I can see that the videos are downloading but all I get is the spinny arrow or the "Touch to retry" error.
I just noticed when I went to the market website that Youtube is now listed as not compatible. Adobe flash as well. Funny when you consider they are both part of the stock setup. It's pretty clear Google is blocking apps not so much based on the device but whether it is rooted or not. Question is, all rooted devices or only those with CM7 on them?

Same here I saw a new YouTube update on my G2, this morning, and when I went to update it on my nook, it wouldn't allow me to update.

Another thing I noticed with the Youtube update is the restriction of certain videos from being played on mobile devices. Luckily, I had a backup of a pre-screwy Youtube and market update sd image and things are running fine again.
It really makes me wonder what is going on behind the scenes at google to cause them do all of this.
Yeah I'm having the same problem. Reverted to a backup and it's working again. This is on the latest release candidate.

It's working fine for me. I even played a HQ vid with on problem. I will say that when I clicked on one of the front page videos it just sat and spun its wheels but when I searched for something it played without any delay.
What version of CM7 is everyone using?
I am running 7.0.3 and was having problems with the updated youtube.
7.1.0-RC1 here.
yeah, youtube 2.2.16 will not work on my nook, but works fine on my htc aria. not sure why
nook: cm7 n155 / aria: cm7 n162
Same here. Running cm7 rc1 off of sd card. Some videos ran fine others didn't. Revered to old version on backup.

Nightly 151 off sd card here. Everything working fine with updated youtube. Every vid I tried played ok.
Same problem here with YouTube 2.2.16 not playing High Quality (HQ) videos on the Nook Color running CM7. Those of you who say it's not playing anything, your YouTube app may default to HQ video. As soon as the video downloading spinning circle appears on the screen, tap the screen in landscape mode to see the toggle switch to turn HQ off for that video. The low quality video should load up after you turn off HQ.
Anyway, last night I remembered that in the early days of rooting the NC we had the same problem with HQ video in the YouTube app. I tried the fix for that old problem last night and it worked on 2.2.16. All I did was sign out of my YouTube account, force stopped the app, cleared cache and data, and rebooted the NC. After reboot open the YouTube app, accept the TOS, and it should work. When everyone had this problem earlier this year, it would sometimes come back and we'd do the routine again to make it go away. I don't know what eventually solved the problem last time (an update fixed it?), but maybe the same behind-the-scenes permanent fix will solve the problem with 2.2.16.

Tried this - some videos are playing now in HQ but not others. Strange. For example I selected one artist and two of her videos would play but two wouldn't. After rollback to 2.1.6 they all play.
When I have a situation like this where the updated version of an app works much worse than the prior (Skype, Okcupid notably), I roll back and then use Titanium to force-detach it from the Market.
Even if there wasn't a problem playing videos with the new update, I still would roll back to the previous version.
I find it irritating as hell that this new version of the Youtube player has incorporated the "do not play on mobile devices" block on some videos. I did not like this "feature" on the Youtube Ipodtouch app and never could figure out the reasoning behind it.

Apologies if this has been mentioned before i did a search but couldn't find anything.
Had my DHD for a week now and i love it but i do have an issue when watching video's on the youtube app...
Watching the video's is fine but when i come to exit from You tube (by selecting the back button) the phone gets really really laggy and unresponsive, i tried to uninstall the app in app management but it doesn't let me have that option the only option i have is to uninstall the updates.
i've tried that and reinstalled the updates but it made no difference.
I also tried downloading an app killer to see if that would sort the unresponsiveness out but it doesn't make any difference either, i need to restart the phone then everything is fine...
Anyone else have any issue's ?
Or any ideas what i can do ?
Thanks
I had the same problem. Uninstall the updates and don't reinstall then.

Yea having same problem with this app, had to restart my phone by taking out the battery
I came across this bug this morning.
Ill try removing the updates.
had the same problem for over a week now.
its nothing to do with the update, i ve had the problem before the youtube app update and afterwards.
furthermore, i cant log in to my youtube account for my subscription video either. whenever i try to log in it gets stuck.
looks like a Sense related issue.
I removed the updates and mine is now working fine

Same prob here.
It seems to happen since I applied the OTA.
Uninstall the update and now it works. Hopefully Google will solve the problem ..

How do you get it to work correctly in the browser? I get an arrow and have to click on it for it to load, but still not always loading correctly. thanks

are you comparing to 10.1 or leaked 10.2?
I'm pretty sure he means the market version. It says 10.1, but when you update it, it says 10.2.
I downloaded 10.2 on my HTC desire as well. I don't know what is wrong but it's a destruction for my phone. Fullscreen videos on YouTube is a definitely no-go since it only plays a couple of choppy seconds and then I need to remove the battery in order to make it work. Watching videos in non fullscreen was a bit better since I could watch around 40 seconds of it until everything stuck.
It is just not working for me. Far worse than the previous.
Just watched an hour-long programme on bbc iplayer on my A70H which would not have been possible with the old flash. BUT, the sound was several seconds out of sync by the end which is not exactly perfect.
So, a huge step forward but we still have a bit further to go yet.
Having said that - I'm just watching some iPlayer stuff off the website on my iMac and that's getting out of sync too, so maybe it's not anything to do with the tablet or Android!
Aaarrgg! Now I can't install even the leaked Flash 10.2!
I had no trouble uninstalling the leaked 10.2 on my A43 and then locating and installing the official Flash 10.2 from the Android Market. A piece of cake. Not so good on my A101. I uninstalled the leaked 10.2 and then went to Market. I couldn't find Flash 10.2. So I went to Market on my desktop PC and found it. It then refused to install it claiming it was not compatible with my device. So then I tried a few other things like clearing the market cache and the Google Framework data. BAD IDEA! I broke Market. So now I installed the gapps 5 final and I have market back exactly as before. When I try to install the leaked 10.2, it errors out, so I installed the 10.1 I had from before.
So how do I fix this? I'd like to have the official Flash 10.2 and what's with Market saying my A101 is not compatible with it while my A43 is? They both have the same recent firmware.
Bye.
I've already master reset my phone, and the issue persists, so don't bother posting that as a solution.
There has been an issue going on for weeks where media playback stops working. Nothing plays, not even YouTube or media via the Flash Player. The YouTube player just says touch to try again. The Flash and Media Players error out saying the format isn't supported.
Not even the Camera or Video recorders work (gives a generic error message). The only way to get it to work is to power the phone down and back up, until it works again.
Dunno what the issue is. Is anyone having the same issues?
Stock 2.2 KB5 never modded phone with the stock SD card and the only 3rd party apps I have installed are the obvious ones (Twitter, Facebook, Engadget, XDA App, Google Apps, Beautiful Widgets, etc.). Prolly have < a page of 3rd party apps installed.
N8ter,
I was having a similar issue with YouTube and Pandora. After a certain time neither would work, Youtube would give the error message to touch again, and Pandora (or any other music player) would pull up the song it was about to play, then skip it and go to the next one, and on and on. The issue wouldn't go away until I restarted my phone.
Unfortunately I couldn't find a fix for it. I tried clearing the data, cache, etc. with no luck. I have a hunch that it might have to do with an app or a program the runs data in the background or with data itself, switching between wifi and data, or with flash. Of course I could be way off too, who knows.
Right now I'm running Bionix NextGen 1 ROM with Overstock kernel and so far the issue has not come up. Keeping my fingers crossed, and hope our fellow xda'ers have a solution to this problem.
I'm wondering if the OS is shutting down a needed service or something in the background. It's been happening since before KB5 update, but I haven't noticed it being so bad until recently because I put all my music on the Vibrant and it happens when playing audio files as well...
Oddly, ringtones and notification tones still function.
Hi N8ter, DO you have the twitter app installed? I ask this because my sister was having the same issue a couple of weeks ago (we both have vibrants running bionix 1.3.1 ) i really didnt know what was going on so I kind of ignored her issue. It was not until I created a twitter account and downloaded the twitter app that I started having the same problem. I removed the twitter app from both our phones and we havent had the issue for weeks now.
Its odd i know but it worked for me...
You know what, I have been having the same problem, and yes, I do have the Twitter app installed. I hope that is it (I'll try to report back here after a few days, but due to the sporadic nature of the problem, I won't be able to know whether that works). thank you for the suggestion.
I can't really believe that the twitter app might be the problem, but it has been 24 hours without the twitter app and I havent had to restart because my media files/you tube are unrecognizable. I read it somewhere else on xda. I will follow up if it seems that twitter is not the problem.

Yep. I just went to the T-Mobile site and found:
http://forums.t-mobile.com/t5/Samsung-Vibrant/vibrant-file-glitch/td-p/760507/page/2
I just removed the Twitter app and reinstalled Seesmic for Twitter access (not big loss, it's not like Twitter had C2DM support and the phone natively syncs contacts and pictures anyways...).
I'll see how it goes.
Thanks guys... I never had media on my Vibrant until recently (the HD7's external speakers make the Vibrant sound like a Surround Sound system - don't even need headsets for this phone!) and the issue was starting to make me want to beat a baby...
Thank you so much everyone. xda ftw!
I'm running CM7 beta for Atrix. I have the MLB Atbat app. I can't get live streaming working in the app or in a browser.
I've tried the fix listed here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1201274
But live streaming still isn't working. The option is available, it starts to connect, and then video will freeze on the first frame while audio continues fine. Sometimes the video will just freeze on a jumble of colors. It's the same if I try to stream from the website in Browser or Dolphin HD.
What to do?
Ill check this out tomorrow too
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
this happens to me too. the fix linked is only for at-bat that doesn't recognize the device and doesn't give the video option.
i believe it it linked to flash, but i'm not sure. i could never get it working on 2.3.4 (AT&T) properly unless i uninstalled flash, tried a video and it prompted me to DL it from the market. once i used that link, i would pop back into at-bat and it would work. that method worked for a while and then stopped working.
i've tried it on CM7 and nothing. i've tried 5 different versions ranging from 10.2-10.3xx and no dice, first frame freezes. i really don't know what it is.
sorry i couldn't help, but just letting you know you're not alone.
I had the streaming working fine in gingerbread both in the app and dolphin hd. I was using Ken alien 4.
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
i never got at bat to work on stock froyo or stock gingerbread.. on the android market doesnt say video can play on atrix
if any one got it to work any advise... so i dont think is your ROM you installed
PS... i havent tried the latest version of at bat maybe they fixed it

Something that would surely fix the issue is reinstalling the stock firmware. That may be a little drastic, however I am sure it will work. I know my way with fixing software issues but mostly only on rooted devices. Good luck!
