Google just released the new update for Youtube app in Android Market.
After I updated the app on my Nook Color, running on CM 7 RC, I found that Youtube app failed to load any clip at all.
Does anyone have this problem? I also have Nexus 1 which is updated as well but doesn't have such a problem.
Any ideas? Is it possible to downgrade Youtube by uninstalling it?
** My Nexus 1 recently has a new Market app but my NC is yet not upgraded. Is it going to be a big matter for a rooted NC?

I have the same problem, it keeps loading and never actually loads the vids. So good thing i made a back up before upgrading. I cleared app data, wiped dalvik/cache and still a no go. It seems other phones are also having problems with the update. I
All these new google apps are messed up -_-

Working OK here; CM7 nightly (151).
Hmmm. I just realized that Google AD, which plays right before the clip, is loaded and played. However, the clip I touched in is having a problem: "There was a problem while playing. Touch to Retry."
In the moment the HQ button appears, unchecked it. Videos will play in low quality fine. Waiting on a fix.

Reading the rating comments for the Youtube app in the market, it appears that this problem isn't limited to the NC and is occuring on several other platforms also.
I have only been able to get 1 video to play correctly. While watching my router's status lights, I can see that the videos are downloading but all I get is the spinny arrow or the "Touch to retry" error.
I just noticed when I went to the market website that Youtube is now listed as not compatible. Adobe flash as well. Funny when you consider they are both part of the stock setup. It's pretty clear Google is blocking apps not so much based on the device but whether it is rooted or not. Question is, all rooted devices or only those with CM7 on them?

Same here I saw a new YouTube update on my G2, this morning, and when I went to update it on my nook, it wouldn't allow me to update.

Another thing I noticed with the Youtube update is the restriction of certain videos from being played on mobile devices. Luckily, I had a backup of a pre-screwy Youtube and market update sd image and things are running fine again.
It really makes me wonder what is going on behind the scenes at google to cause them do all of this.
Yeah I'm having the same problem. Reverted to a backup and it's working again. This is on the latest release candidate.

It's working fine for me. I even played a HQ vid with on problem. I will say that when I clicked on one of the front page videos it just sat and spun its wheels but when I searched for something it played without any delay.
What version of CM7 is everyone using?
I am running 7.0.3 and was having problems with the updated youtube.
7.1.0-RC1 here.
yeah, youtube 2.2.16 will not work on my nook, but works fine on my htc aria. not sure why
nook: cm7 n155 / aria: cm7 n162
Same here. Running cm7 rc1 off of sd card. Some videos ran fine others didn't. Revered to old version on backup.

Nightly 151 off sd card here. Everything working fine with updated youtube. Every vid I tried played ok.
Same problem here with YouTube 2.2.16 not playing High Quality (HQ) videos on the Nook Color running CM7. Those of you who say it's not playing anything, your YouTube app may default to HQ video. As soon as the video downloading spinning circle appears on the screen, tap the screen in landscape mode to see the toggle switch to turn HQ off for that video. The low quality video should load up after you turn off HQ.
Anyway, last night I remembered that in the early days of rooting the NC we had the same problem with HQ video in the YouTube app. I tried the fix for that old problem last night and it worked on 2.2.16. All I did was sign out of my YouTube account, force stopped the app, cleared cache and data, and rebooted the NC. After reboot open the YouTube app, accept the TOS, and it should work. When everyone had this problem earlier this year, it would sometimes come back and we'd do the routine again to make it go away. I don't know what eventually solved the problem last time (an update fixed it?), but maybe the same behind-the-scenes permanent fix will solve the problem with 2.2.16.

Tried this - some videos are playing now in HQ but not others. Strange. For example I selected one artist and two of her videos would play but two wouldn't. After rollback to 2.1.6 they all play.
When I have a situation like this where the updated version of an app works much worse than the prior (Skype, Okcupid notably), I roll back and then use Titanium to force-detach it from the Market.
Even if there wasn't a problem playing videos with the new update, I still would roll back to the previous version.
I find it irritating as hell that this new version of the Youtube player has incorporated the "do not play on mobile devices" block on some videos. I did not like this "feature" on the Youtube Ipodtouch app and never could figure out the reasoning behind it.
Finally Google updated the YouTube App For ICS And now there is a HUGE performance improvements For 720p videos playback, Hope to See further improvements with Jellybean KEEP IT UP GOOGLE!!
Indeed it improves 720p playback, very nice.
I can't, though, for the life of me find the preload features that I see on my phone, can't see why they would be disabled on the tablet version?
I did have some troubles updating via play store, had to grab the apk from my phone and put it in system/app, maybe that borked something?
But they can't fix the spacebar bug
Entering a name of a video into the searchbar above the thumbnails and then hitting space results in one of the thumbnails being selected so you can not search for more than 1 word

Luckily it works on the startpage so it's not that of a big deal, at least for me.
Seems to have fixed the scrolling issue I had where you couldn't select a video as tapping it wouldn't do anything until you scrolled around for a bit then you could tap the video you wanted.
Battlefield videos still have stutters sometimes. Don't notice hd improvement, but was already ok with cpu on 1400
Oh and now I don't see which subscribed channels have new items anymore anyone else has this?
can someone post the apk here? i can't install it from the play sotre. got "incompatible update" error

I had to uninstall updates to get youtube to work on my TF101. Currently running the stock youtube.
I've got a strange but very annoying issue on a pair of Nexus 7's I have. When trying to watch a video (youtube or other) in the native chrome browser when I change to full screen the controls on the video eventually (after about 5-10 seconds) become non-responsive. Specifically the play/pause/ffw/rwd buttons don't do anything, you can't reposition or scrub video on the timeline any more and the time counter becomes frozen. The video will continue to play however.
Anyone else have this issue? Does it repro in other browsers? Note these are not flash videos and I've now seen this on both devices I have. Neither have been rooted or otherwise customized yet.
Anyone know how to file a bug or support issue with Google?
I just tried it and the controls seem to work fine. A little lag, but pause and play work fast. FF and RW move if you just keep tapping. I just picked a random video within Chrome, not the YouTube app (which is what I normally use).
Strange I can definitely repro this on two devices. We do have some common apps/settings but perhaps I'll do a factory reset and see if that clears it up.
I have a related question. Is there any way to "pop out" a Youtube video in Chrome to the native YouTube player? This can be done in the AOSP browser by tapping the Youtube logo in the bottom right, but I can't seem to do this in Chrome. It's VERY annoying. If this could be done, we wouldn't have to worry about the flaky controls in Chrome (they can get flaky after using them a lot - native app is much better).
Did factory reset fix the issue?
I have the same issue, did factory reset fix the issue?

I don't know. AFAIK it's a Chrome bug because I started using Dolphin HD which did not have the same problem.
Not sure if this should be in the Help/Troubleshooting section or the Apps section...
I'm unable to play video on my G2 using the DishAnywhere app. At one point I managed to play SD video (once) but have since been able to get it working. All I get is a black screen when I hit play. I've experienced this on several different lollipop roms. A search on The Google says that the app was incompatible with lollipop until December but sounds like it's been working fine for others since. Any idea whether this is a known issue or if there is a fix? The rest of the app works great....just blanks on the video....
Thanks for any help
Is anybody using Dish Anywhere to watch shows on a lollipop rom?
I'm on android version 7.0 stock and without root and I can't play any vodeo on youtube (the app) and facebook (also app).
Youtube: The video wont even start loading or playing there's just a black screen with a message saying: There was a problem while playing. Tap to retry.
Facebook: the video plays for like half a second and then immediately stops.
I tried to delete the app cashe, unistall all the app updates but it didnt help.

Something that would surely fix the issue is reinstalling the stock firmware. That may be a little drastic, however I am sure it will work. I know my way with fixing software issues but mostly only on rooted devices. Good luck!

I have no idea how to do that. I guess it's quite a process...
Could you explain it to me like I'm five year old please.
