Hey all. Ever since I got my A500, the YouTube app does a force close when I try to view videos on certain channels. I have cleared the cache, app data, and even a factory reset but it doesn't seem to help. The main channel this always happens on is machinima. When I try to play a game trailer or a video from the mortal kombat: legacy series, it just closes, even before starting the video. Any one else have this issue? I prefer the app to the browser, but both are extremely slow in the loading dept. Any help is appreciated. Also, I'm not rooted.
odd
Never had FC issues using the official YouTube app on my a500 until I tried to search for "mortal kombat legacy" and selected the first video I saw by the same user name you mentioned, got a force close when trying to load it.
Would imagine this is a issue with the video format used by whoever uploaded said video.
Well it sounds plausible. I should send the channel a message about that.

is anyone having a video playback problem with HTC video player ???
I have, tried openeing a rather low-res MP4 video, and it wouldn't open it; the screen was black and it only said "loading" or whatever.
I tried 3 or 4 times, and during the last attempt it said something like "fatal error - blah blah - ARM11"
I didn't risk trying openening any videos again
No problems here at all - with mp4 files. Any other format is... disappointing. Except maybe if you install another video player app.
the problem, i am experiencing is the video recorded with the handset can not be played at all. i had to do hard reset couple of times just to have it work again. this happens after i install some applications. i tried uninstalling the apps, but in vain.
really appreciate if anyone can help me out here !!!

If it works after a hard reset, but not after installing some apps, do a hard reset and then try playing a video after each installation. That way you can identify which app is causing the problem.
Sounds like you'll need another hard reset afterwards, but at least you'll know the app that is breaking the video playback, and you can let us all know so that no-one installs it again!
I will bet you its right after you install the youtube app, because it uses similar files (you may notice the video playback uses a UI similar to that in the playback in the YouTube app) Would like to know if this situation can be fixed myself, without having to resort to flashing a rom and losing my warranty

You're spot on dude. I device was playing videos very well until I installed Youtube. Noticed straight away it was that causing the problem. I haven't removed youtube simple because of the fact its a brilliant app! works brilliant with wifi. Such a shame its the only place I can see video footage!
SOME ONE PLEASE FIND A WAY TO FIX IT OTHER THAN UNINSTALLING YOUTUBE!
remove youtube app and still watch youtube on opera
You may find this thread useful in getting opera to work properly when you visit youtube dot com. That way you can get rid of the app and still watch vids from there - you can even cue vids up in a playlist exactly like on a desktop pc.
Is anyone else constantly getting the "there was a problem while playing" error when viewing videos in the YouTube app?

yeah, only happens with HQ, but i posted a bug report with google. the app is also not caching very much of the videos so it has problems on that front. i have a super fast internet connection too.
yes I get this every time. Once I click retry it doesn't do it again until I play a differ ant video.
When I had my nexus one and I downloaded the new YouTube app it kept doing it so I had to uninstall the update. It wasn't until I got my nexus s the YouTube app worked perfect with the gingerbread update
A quick work around is to use jetvd app from market to stream 720p youtube videos... but eah problem is there and its super annoying. Happens almost every time u pause.
It also reverts to 480p video, and nothing u can do will revert it back to 720p. U have to reload the video. Super annoying
Yeah both wifi and 3g I get the error. Instlling what looks to be an older youtube from the market lets me play HD no problem... just not as interesting looking.

I'd suggest calling a Catholic priest and have your tablet exercised, but I doubt it's a demon rearing it's ugly head in your tablet. Two different ROMs with the same issue on YouTube....it's most likely a YouTube glitch.
Hi,
Is anyone else having these problems with netflix on their G2?
I did search google and this forum for problems like mine. I read a lot about out of sync audio/video. Slow user interface, bad image quality, etc.
All this is fine here. Audio plays well and keeps playing. All remains in sync. but the video keeps lagging in about every stream. It's not like it needs to buffer again, it's just annoying lag.
I had contact with netflix. They told me it was probably my Phone running background apps i wouldn't be able to stop, and i should contact LG. Well, if that would be true, my HTC One X shouldn't be able to play everything smoothly..
I am beginning to suspect it's something with the Phone and would like your comments on this.
Thanks!

no problems on my vs980
Little update;
I'm on Android 4.2.2.
I deleted the Original Netflix app and downloaded the "netflix black rotation v2.1.2 apk" from xda.
With this app, the quality is not as good as with the Original app, but no stutter/lag!
Any ideas?
Still using the old app. Works fine. Quality on the new app is better but still no lag or stutter with this one. Read something about the new app only working with newer android versions. Don't know if this is true but if anyone is having the same stutter/lag issues, try the older netflix app!
yes the real problem is when Netflix use best quality video stream, limiting the quality is not a real fix.
Anyone have issues when viewing vine videos on vine where after viewing a couple no more will load and you have to exit the app and maybe delete cache to get it to work again? Also happend to me on chanu once but not all the time. And google+. loading videos if i skip ahead too close to where i was it will just stop working and i have to close and reopen the video. im on alliance rom if that makes a difference but its really anoyying.
