Cm7 installed but youtube doesn't work

I searched but couldn't find anyone else with YouTube problems. I installed cm7 with daligrens nightly kernel, and installed the YouTube app. App opens fine but the videos wont play. The error message displayed is "there was a problem while playing. Touch to retry"
I tried reinstalling the app, but didn't work. Any ideas? ??

I'm having the same issues. I've tried uninstall/reinstall, reflashing CM7, even trying to open youtube in different browsers. Everything keeps coming back to "cannot play video. touch to retry."
Anyone with an idea on how to fix this would be great.

Android market error even after factory reset?

On my GF's MT4G, her Play store started acting up so she did a factory reset and her Market wont open up. It gives her an error code. A long time ago I rooted her phone and tried getting her the old Market when they made the switch to the Play store. Could that been there reason why its giving an error code? I thought if you do a factory reset it would wipe any everything done to the phone. Its still running the stock rom BTW.

When I click on the Market app i get the "Sorry! The application Market )process com.android.vending) has stopped unexpectedly Please try again" message.
Try flashing a newer GApps file.
Have you tried going to settings>apps> play store and clearing data and cache of the app, then reboot phone? Seeing as how you are on stock rom, don't worry about trying to flash gapps, that's for aosp based roms. You can also try to search for the latest play store app in the themes and apps forum and try to install it.
I've tried downloading and installing the Play Store but still nothing. I then tried flashing cm7.2.0 (what I'm running on my MT4G) and on the first boot it asks you if you have a Google account to sign into but it doesn't evenshow up. If you click on the Play Store if asks you "you must sign into Google" but after I click ok the app it shuts down.
I flashed Blackout ICS and finally have a working Play Store.

I did all that and it's still not working. It's the only app on the play store that seems to be giving me problems. I really want fox now on it but I don't know what's up.
I'm on Shield fw 3.0. Can anyone confirm that FOX NOW installs fine on their Shield TVs.

Ok i have tried the app and i have the problem too. It wont work on Firmware 3.0
Okay, so I got it to work. It required me to factory reset my whole Shield TV. I'm really upset I have to reinstall all my apps and put in all my login info again, but I really wanted FOX NOW to work. I'm annoyed right now, but at least I solved it.

Nexus 6P on NRD90U wont download/install anything on mobile data.

As the title says, my phone wont download any files nor download/install apps through the play store. I tried clearing cache and data from downloads and play store, and from recovery, nothing helps.. Did anyone else have this issue? (works fine on wi-fi, also clean install-flashed the latest image from google, also had this on the last beta preview NRD80M).

I had the same problem. My problem was causes by the app "Block This! 2.1". This is an advertisement-blokker.
After closing this app all went fine.
Do you have an ad-blokker, may-be?

After reading your reply, even though i know i don't have any suspicious apps, i rebooted my phone into safe mode, the issue still persists.. I think it has something to do with me not selecting "Set up as new device" when i first booted my phone after the flash, maybe something from my old backup corrupted the download process, i guess i have to do another factory reset and set it up as a new device... :'(

Netflix Error 5.2 after updating to Android 8.0- UNROOTED, STOCK

Hi all,
Just updated my stock, unrooted Verizon Galaxy S8 this morning to Android 8.0. Now, whenever I try to watch a show on Netflix, I get an error message saying "This video could not be played. (5.2)". I have already uninstalled and reinstalled, restarted my phone, and called Netflix (who said to just contact Samsung- and we all know how useful that will be). Any ideas here for how to fix?
Thanks!
I fixed that using root.
In a nutshell:
Rename the following file:
/system/lib/liboemcrypto.so to /liboemcrypto.so.bak
Not sure if you can root a Verizon S8, try your luck at this thread for a discussion on the issue.

I can't, and don't want to root- I feel like Netflix and/or Samsung really screwed up here
This is an issue with Android's DRM implementation, I guess. Can you check if your device passes SafetyNet?
That's ... Odd. Netflix works fine for me

Haha well I'm glad it's working for you! After it working all night for me, I'm now getting the same exact error you were getting. It's really annoying me, going to try rebooting next I guess.
Edit
So, rebooting was enough to let me watch one episode of a show, but then I got that error when I autoplayed to the next. I cleared the app's data and that fixed it, too. We'll see if that's a permanent fix.
I have this exact same problem. Don't want to root or unlock. I've tried uninstalling and installing the app. I've tried clearing data and cache. Is the next step a factory reset? Anything else I can do before that?

Same thing happened to me. Just uninstalling and reinstalling the app didn't work. Had to reboot the phone after reinstalling and after logging back into Netflix, went to settings and ran check network. Everything came back OK. Was able to watch without any issues since. Hoping it stays that way.
