On the official Sony Support site, they suggested to uninstall Facebook App and to re-install it - and some suggested to clear its data and try again, all these are temporary solutions
I downgraded my Facebook by uninstalling the current version and installing an older version. The version I have chosen is version 5 (current in July 2004 is v.12) - V.5 allows me to choose which app I can play the video on and gives me the possibility of downloading it as well (through ES Download App)
It looks old, I lost the function of adding a picture into the comments (can do it on PC anyhow) otherwise I am happy with this version
Here you can get it, (you can try newer versions for the video error issue like V.6 or V.7 as well or even V.9) as I was looking for the version that allows me to download videos (you can see all other versions at the bottom of the page in the following link)

And other solution use Facebook on browser...

^ which for non-root users is also the best way to avoid frequent wake locks caused by the Facebook app.
mine doesn't give me a error message on facebook when play a video anymore,....
all i did was "clear cache", "clear data", "uninstall", reboot and installed Facebook from the Play Store
Any Facebook beta user here? Since yesterday's 15.0.0.0.2 update, video problem looks to be solved.. I am even getting lockscreen notifications just like iphone.. Can anybody plz confirm?

Seems to work for me. Thanks
After 17.1.2.A.0.314 update, the error is gone at the first few seconds of playback. The error message comes out at the end of the video playback. It means you can watch the whole video without error, only when the video ends the error message comes out.
after 3 days without a error video glitch,... that error message came back again,.... i guess that uninstall method is only a temporary fix,... (im still on 17.1.1.A.0.402)
I can confirm joining the beta program and downloading the beta via the play store has resolved video playback
Didn't reboot or clear anything, just upgraded and it's working now
The FB app is crap. Has always been and will probably always be. I use FB via browser.

Alpha tester is v15 and beta tester get v14
I found a link somewhere I forgot, but basically just log off facebook.
Go to setting>App, then slide to the left tab for all apps, scroll down close to bottom to look for Xperia with Facebook, disable that app.
I tried on mine and it works.

This seemed to work for me but need to give it a couple of days to be sure.
Thanks guys ..
I have tried all the above mentioned solutions, they were all temporary as I said in the OP .. Downgrading the FB application also gave the the chance to be able to download any video posted over FB, so it is not just a solution for the error message it is an added bonus
I too have the video playback error. I solve it by clicking Internet setting in Wireless &network. Hope this helps.

Can anyone use Youtube? or even better, can anyone update version of Youtube?
When I try to play any video, I get the error (Sorry, this video cannot be played). When I search Google. I see that there should be an updated version in the Market, but there is nothing there. I also tried to update with AppBrain but still doesn't work.
Any help?
anyone ??????????
Works for me, both the original and the updated version I got in the Android market.

you are probably in a region where youtube is not available on the market. I had the same problem, when I searched for official youtube app in the market, it doesn't appear. What I did was, I searched the updated youtube apk on the net, downloaded into the sdcard and installed it from there.
hope it helps.

mine works fine, both versions.
Thanks, I found all the google updates and updated but the error is the same. I'll look for problems in OpenDNS as I suspect that the problem is there.
nope, wasn't opendns but it worked after rebooting with the new updated version. I hope it stays like that.
OK...I bought this app because I wanted a simple way to get Hulu Plus working. I am running CM7 via a dual-boot SD card since I wanted to preserve the original B&N functionality. Adobe Flash 11 is installed too.
I'm hoping this is something really simple. When I start up the app and go to Hulu, the Hulu web page loads with no issues. So, I click on "Log In" and two things happen:
1. For a brief second, a login dialog pops up int he upper right (same as regular Hulu) asking me to enter a user name and password. It's only on the screen for about half a second.
2. Immediately afterwards, the web browser just goes to an "about:blank" page.
So, how I can I get past this and log into my Hulu Plus account to watch videos?
Unless I'm missing something the easy way to watch Hulu Plus is to download the Hulu Plus app. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1449110
I'd recommend going that route unless there is some reason why it wouldn't work with a dual boot setup. Your purchase isn't a total loss though I wouldn't mind having it for YouTube videos that won't play on mobile browsers. Just make sure you disable ad blocker if you have it installed before using the flash browser app.

I don't have it in front of me right now actually but the app definitely doesn't work. I think it gives some sort of "Your device is not supported" error but I'll check when I get home. So I'm looking for alternatives.
Well if you download the app from Google Play (Android Market) then you will probably have that problem. But the link I posted is from another thread here and its a modded APK that works very well. Again it should work unless there's an issue with dual boot setups I'm not aware of. Lol I've missed things before and some people make sure you know it.
Don't forget disabling ad blocker is the easiest and most common fix for your app in question. I would still recommend the Hulu app but you might as well get this browser app working too.
figured it out...
if you go to hulu.com/signin it will redirect to a login page... login..... this will save the cookie..... use back to exit fvb then when you open again just hit hulu ..... I found this post looking for a solution.... then did some experimenting and this just worked for me like 5 minutes ago.... hope this helps

thanks.. :fingers-crossed:
i hope it is not a virus infected site..
update:
it loaded/installed just fine.. and ran..
first try.. it got to hulu.com.. and showed full website.
tried to play a show.. it locked up.. had to FC it.
ran the app again.. going to hulu.com .. was a white screen. and that is all you can see.
so.. that app has been blocked or does not support hulu anymore.
NOTE: i did not try to load an older version of Flash Player. this might fix it.
but I am giving up on this.. till something is developed better.

Hulu Plus works beautifully on my Nook Color. Running CM10 from the SD Card.
It's not entirely clear whether or not you're using the modded app linked in the 2nd post. You need to use the modded app. Here's a link:

Before running the app, be sure to temporarily disable any ad-blocking you may be using.

Don't know if my different nook or rooted stock rom makes a difference. I have a rooted Nook Tablet (NT), no custom ROM. I cannot login from the directions in the earlier posts. However, I can watch certain things by browsing for them without signing on.
Here's what happens... I use the Flash Video Browser (bought in store... can't remember if it was through amazon, google play, etc.). I search for a show. If they have free versions of that show click on it (I think logging in might allow a higher quality but it looks great on my 7" screen as is). If ever you are confronted with a white screen, in address bar it says "about:blank", I hit the back button (I use the back button on Button Savior from Google Play store). When I hit the back button it plays the video.
If it shows the white screen after you search, similarly the back button will bring you back to the search results. Hope this helps.
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'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.
Any suggestions?

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'm having a weird issue with Youtube. If I click on the tab for subscriptions, it crashes every time. I've tried clearing data/cache and "uninstalling it" back to the version that comes with the Mediapad ... no luck.
Mobile site subscriptions works fine. Videos otherwise play fine in the app.
Anyone?
The subscription tab is working fine for me at my 325 dpi setting. The new Kodi (v17), on the other hand, crashes for me every time so I had to side load an older version. You might try that with YouTube to see if it is just the newest version causing you problems. YouTube is a "special app", so I think the normal install of an apk will not work. There is a thread on XDA for an add-free version of youtube that has instructions for replacing the YouTube app and maybe even the add-free version will work for you. If you do replace your app, don't forget to turn off automatic updates in the play store.
Hmmm, I'm not running the DPI hack...
It's crashing for me as well, I'm using the lowest size setting within Display.
Confirmed bug. If I switch to Settings->Display->View Mode->Medium, Youtube subscriptions no longer crash.
anyone has resolved? I can't use subscription tab in youtube...
