I have searched and Googled this with no success, so forgive me if its been covered....
Nook Color rooted running Phiremod 7.2. YouTube app launches and connects to search, but any video chosen gives response" unable to play..tap here to RETRY"
Is this common? Any known fix?

I had this problem too with my NC running Cyanogenmod. Any ways, it turns out that the current Youtube app doesn't work with HD videos. If you unclicked HD, it would probably work. If you want HD videos, look for the 2.1.6 apk. I forgot where I downloaded it. It was on XDA, though. Check Google for "YouTube 2.1.6"

I was trying to play a MKV file that was 480p and all i got was continuous pixelation and lag. Does this phone not support 480p or does the player not support it?
Where can I download this, it doesn't show up in the market and the website points me to the market...
Sorry to be off topic, but that reminded me.

Looks like they just put a new version in the market. Works fine for me now that I finally found it.
Have you tried the new version?

So for my test of flash video on froyo, I went to megavideo and loaded up an episode of community.
The video played just fine but I could not use the play controls (pause, play, etc). It seemed like it would just click the entire flash video screen instead of the individual action buttons.
Any one have a solution as to what I'm doing wrong or if this function works?
I'm using the dolphin hd browser.

For those of you that don't know, to enable Flash in the Browser, you need to go into settings, and turn on "enable plug-ins".
My experience was much less good. I went to http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/02/android-honeycomb-motorola-xoom-hands-ons-widgets-grocery-iq/ and tried to play those videos in the browser - it was choppy as hell.
I've got the plug ins enabled. Video works fine. Just can't pause or fast forward....or any action buttons....

Ah it works...just have a very tiny window of where to press the pause button...very touchy....

Hi why I cant play new video from YouTube player. I also install the last version from Market but I have the same problem. Someone have this problem?
Never had that problem, can you not play your youtube videos from browser as a temp fix until you can sort this problem also what rom are you on?
Not to be picky but this should really go in the general section not this develpment section

Hmm.
I've got it too sometimes. If I turn HQ off it works.
Very strange.

Turning off the HQ only works on the mobile web version of YouTube.

If you rent a movie though the market on your Rooted Moto Xoom and try to play it in the Google movies app you will get an error 49 (rooted device not allowed).
But if you go to www.youtube.com in the browser and login you can then play your movie.
I have done this process on my Rooted WIFI Xoom with 3.2. (Desktop UA string). Just thought I would share...
This will only work if you are connected to a network. So if you can tether or if you have a Verizon Xoom you should be good to go mobile. Or you can always use WIFI.
How many movies did you try it with?

one so far I wanted to put it on here so others can try... I will try a few more movies this week.
Yeah nice tip.

Wait- so after logging into you YouTube you jump back into your Google Movies app and it works or.......?
Do you watch the movies on YouTube using the browser?
Watch movies on YouTube though the browser. Could of been more clear.

Has anyone else tried this yet? What are your results?
just tried on my wifi xoom 3.1 with unlocked bootloader using the Bourne ultimatum (favorite movie) and it worked perfectly without a hitch.
this workaround will be useful until someone can figure out how to watch them in the movies app.

hmm... maybe if you did you tube sees the screen size in the browser and limits to 480...
im a newbie, so I apologize for the hand holding but can you please explain exactly how to view a Google video through the YouTube browser? I ordered a movie on Google videos and signed into YouTube, but where do I go from there? Thanks
if you type in"about:debug" (without quotes) in the browsers address bar you will get more settings. go to settings>debug>uastring and change it to desktop. then reload youtube and on the homepage there should be something like "don't forget to watch your movie" and that's it.

I downloaded Sonic CD and it loaded fine without errors, but it does not play fullscreen. So it's pretty much unusable at this time. Would a build.prop edit fix this? Any other suggestions?

Works fine for me on CM7. It seems to work for some and not for others. Try adjusting your lcd density?
I found a solution and posted it in the thread mentioned in the last post. ^

Thank you; great idea. Now, just can't seem to get the SD card files to load from within the app. :-( Seems to be a common reason why this app is getting some pretty bad reviews.
