Youtube app does not load videos. - Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi I have a problem with the youtube app my video is not loading and if I click the back button to go back most of the time it forced close.
I tried uninstall update on the manage apps but still does not work.

The newest versions of youtube arent working right on the NC, you should be able to play all videos you tick off the HQ button. Or you could revert to an old and working youtube app, I am using version 2.1.6 and it plays on HQ.

Also recently started having an issue with videos not loading, running cm7 and have tried multiple roms. I tried an older version of the apk but it fc'd. Guess I will keep looking for one.
Edit: Seems to only be not loading hq videos, but I don't see any way to disable hq. I have tried multiple older apk's but they all fc

Flash player judder?

I've got the 10.1 flash and it was updated today too but any flash videos I watch are often juddering. It's almost like stop motion animation. Does anyone else's player play ok? If I use skyfire browser they generally play ok but I prefer the stock browser.
Also, on previous phones if I click a YouTube link from a forum the YouTube app would open to play it. On my dhd it goes to the YouTube site to play and then I get the juddery issue above. Is there a way of making the YouTube app open automatically when clicking a link?

On my phone all the flash videos play fine and in HD. (it played fine with the original flash that came with the phone, but I have now installed the one from the market to be sure to get the latest updates).
As for youtube, all the links open in full screen in the player (sometimes I need to click on the icon to get it to open in fullscreen).
The DHD comes with youtube 1.6, but I have updated it with version 2 from the market.
Could you post a link to a flash video youve watched that played smoothly so i can check mine?
EDIT: for example can you play this video smoothly?

No, this one judders as well. But when you play it there is a popup text that says "This video is not optimized for mobile devices". So, the website is at fault for not providing a web optimized video.
But this is the first time I have a problem with a video, all of the other flash videos I have come across always play properly.
You can try the videos on bbc.com, cnn.com, youtube.com, etc... Either you will get a popup asking you if you want to play the video in the play or you can play it on the page.

It's there, the only youtube version I see on the market is version 2.0.26.
Usually when you can't see something in the market it's because it isn't avaialbe for your area. I don't know if this is the problem you are experiencing.
Google also provides it at m.google.com/youtube , but I don't know if it's the same version.

Adobe Flash Problem

I am facing an issue with Adobe flash player on MIUI ROM (currently using MIUI 1.9.9, which is latest). The flash player crash if I try to farward the video, but runs O.K. if I allow to run the video as it is.
For example, using Stock browser (even with Dolphin HD), in YOU TUBE if I open any video, it runs perfectly. But, if I try to forward the video (try to skip some part), the video crashes.
I tried all Adobe Flash 10.1, 10.2 and latest 10.3, but same issue. Is this to do with MIUI or all CUSTOM ROM. I remember, I used to face similar problem with stock ROM (2.2) as well.
Any solution ?
Works for me using stock MIUI browser on newest MIUI and newest Flash. 720p vids lag a lot though.

Newest flash means flash 10.3, right ? Have you tried to forward the video (I mean skip some part and move to middle of the video) ?
I said, it works if I do not try to forward the video.

Yes 10.3.186.6 from market. And I can skip youtube videos (in browser too).
Btw I have franco.Kernel installed and some overclocking etc. if that does matter.

I am also running the latest MIUI with franco kernal.
When I try to forward the video in YOUTUBE, an message pops up saying:
"Sorry, this video cannot be played"
I am not sure, but it seems that it is to do with "HQ" option in the YOUTUBE. If I disable this, some videos are able to forward, but again, for some videos, I see above error message. But, as far as "HQ" option is enabled, all videos crash if I try to forward the video.

Yes now I understand. It does crash if you use m.youtube.com and choose "HQ" but if you use normal youtube site, then you can go forward in 720p vids too (but they lag). And everything works with youtube app too.
I noticed a discussion on the net recently where only videos tagged to "work on mobile devices" when uploading will work on mobile devices. I wonder if this has anything to do with youtube problems.

[Q] 4.1.2 CM10 - Video Restarting

I installed the rom from stock a couple of days ago, and the phone restarts whenever i try to watch any video from the gallery, or a youtube link with the player
What i did so far:
Disabled hwa for youtube, restarted. The app doesnt seem to be working properly, it doesnt seem to be applying changes, though it unchecks the apps.
Installed Adobe Flash Player downloaded from adobe's site. Youtube keeps restarting, aswell as the gallery video player.
Installed dolphin mini, chrome and played youtube videos from the navigator. Still restarting.
Installed MX Player, set it to sw only, seems to work for local videos, youtube still restarts the phone.
A couple of things i noticed from other posts:
People that installed the rom from another version dont seem to have the problem.
hwa aplication needs to be restarted a couple of times, never showed adobe flash for the support.
I guess the problem is in a particular library, that doesnt get step over when you upgrade roms, and the issue could be a memory leak of some sort because all the players play atleast a couple of seconds of the video.
I cant post on developers, it doesnt let me till i get 10+ posts.
Anyone has any idea of what to try? Maybe pinpoint me to the library that could be the issue, and where to get it / replace it
Thanks in advance!
In mxplayer settings sw decoder set it for both local and for network.I've set it for audio too be sure.

Did that, but i cant get any youtube workaround
Any ideas about the libraries?
Well what i tried to get a workaround to this problem is this:
Uninstalled the youtube app, using a root uninstaller or whatever.
Set the browser as default to watch videos from the site, it works fine.
Downloaded MX Player, set everything to software, works fine, not great, but fine.
Another issue ive found is that the CPU governor or scalling freezes my settings whenever i try to change its type, i tried a couple of apps like setCPU, and the problem remains. I can live with that.
Ill post here any news i get from the phone, since i cant post on the devs thread yet
Workaround?
rm /system/lib/libstagefrighthw.so
(of course backup first )
This seems to provide a quick solution.
(With Deadline scheduler & HWA on...)
PS: By comparing 20130703 vs. 20130709 libstagefright.so as Quarx suggested few days back they are quite the same according to their sums. Differences are libstagefright_soft_aacdec.so, libstagefright_soft_aacenc.so, libstagefright_yuv.so, libstagefrighthw.so - on which *hw.so does for me...)

[Q] No sound for embedded YouTube videos in 4.4 Chrome?

Since updating to 4.4, I'm having an odd problem. When visiting sites in Chrome that have embedded YouTube videos (forums, blogs, etc), I can play the video but no sound comes through. I can open the YT app and play the video normally. I downloaded Dolphin Browser and videos play fine.
I tried switching over to ART and back to Dalvik. Made no difference either way. Also tried clearing default applications in case video playback was somehow tied to an app that wasn't fully 4.4-compatible.
Anyone else having the same problem?
As a side issue - I can't interact with the like/dislike/share icons at the top of the video. Is this also a common thing?
having the same issue: embedded youtube videos on chrome browser does not have audio.
did not update bootloader, sideloaded odexed 4.4

Yeah, I should note that as well - I sideloaded - I did not get OTA.
As an experiment I went ahead and did the nuclear option - restoring to the factory image that just got released. Good news, that did the trick and videos in Chrome are now behaving.
Bad news...now I have to wait for all my apps to restore
Weird. Wiped, updated boot loader, flashed deodexed and now it is working.

I have similar problem the video is divided in 3 parts and in black and white
i solved it by reinstall you tube app
youtube on PA 5.1
I'm having a similar problem, but it is not limited to youtube. I have tired plex too, and it also fails to play a video.
When I play a video youtube I just get "There was a problem while playing. Touch to retry"
In plex the video fails to play telling me to restart my plex media server and to reboot the phone.
I have rebooted the phone and it makes no difference.
Anybody have any ideas on how to fix that? Everything else seems to work properly on this rom so far, and the stock rom is getting more and more laggy which is why I'm trying different roms.
Anybody have any ideas?
**Update**
For some reason a video would start without video at times. When that happens if I change the quality to something lower than 480p, it actually works.
MX player works perfectly regardless of resolution.
Plex is completely broken, it will not work regardless of what I set the video to, it fails.
