Youtube

My HTC Magic suddenly can´t play videos from youtube. I get the message "Sorry can´t play this video".
I have done a hard reset. This did not solve the problem. Any idea what could be wrong ?
Some new & old videos from youtube needs to be rendered and converted to playable formats compatible with the android system. This can take hours just as a newly video has been uploaded on their data base or might take months, depends on Google.
Example:
Little Johnny uploads a video on youtube. He tries to watch the newly uploaded video on his android device.
He can't, "Sorry, can't play this video". He keeps trying and trying, still the same result.
Behind the scenes a Google employee/super computer grabs Little Johnny's video and converts it to a playable format compatible with android devices.
The next day Little Johnny tries to watch the video again on his android device and was jubilant to find out that the video started to play.
Answer: Time heals all wounds; just wait it out.
I am not sure that is how is works. Youtube works periodically with the same video. Sometimes it will play the video sometimes it will not. I suspect it might have something do with wheather Youtube is able to launch the videoplayer.
... I am not sure though and it is very annoying

[Q] After Jailbreak, can't play videos?

Ever since I have jailbroken my phone, I am not able to play videos such as on youtube, I am connected to WiFi with a great connection, and when I try to play the videos, I get something that says "Sorry, cannot play this file on your phone". I am sure it is just an easy fix, but how would I fix it?
And I have also tried downloading the videos, they still dont work

[Q] Question on Nexus7 Google Movies

Hello,
I've been trying to figure out how to get the Google Movies app to play multiple saved videos in sequence?
I have a Samsung phone, where there is an option for Repeat on/off.
Is there a similar option in Google movies?
Thanks,
Sidd

Can't Play Some Non-Flash Videos Online

I'm not sure if this is an Android thing, or the website's problem, but after updating a while back to KitKat, I can no longer properly view videos on a certain website (and others I think), that I know are not Flash. I believe they are MP4. The videos will display their thumbnail, and even play a few seconds sometimes, but then just pause and not be able to continue. If I click an alternate link for the video, my Nexus 7 says, "This video cannot be played" or something like that. I've tried the same videos in Chrome, and Boat, with similar results. What can I do to fix this? Did something change in KitKat that could have caused this?
