Hi! I recently encoutered a new "bug" or something like that, the problem si I can't play any videos at all, not youtube, not flash, facebook, gallery or anything. It always gives me a bug like "Can't play this video" "Encountered an error touch to retry" I even tried to install another rom, didn't work then either, tried cleaning cache, and dalvik but nothing seems to work.
If anyone where to have an answer I would greatly appriciate it.
Thanks in advance!
Perform a factory reset.

That didn't work, nor did installing a "stable" version of cm11. I can't play audio at all, nor can I watch videos, make calls or anything audio related. Any Ideas?

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? ??
Sent from my NookColor using XDA Premium App
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.

Are you using a stock rom,is your device rooted? When did this start?If on a custom rom which one?
No I am not rooted and this has been happening since I got the phone.
Hi, I recently upgraded to Indie Rom's OMEGA v19 rom. Everything was running fine until I tried to play music on my phone using poweramp. It would not play, so I thought that there was something wring with my music files but that was not the case. I also tried using twitch to watch some streams, and youtube to watch some random videos, but nothing would play. I would only get a black screen.
I did some research and it told me that it was Xposed, but I updated it but it still doesn't work. Is there anything else that i can do ? thanks in advance
UPDATE 1: I have tried reinstalling the rom with a full wipe without XPOSED and I still cant play any media on youtube, or poweramp.
UPDATE 2: installed another rom and kernel and I still cannot play any media. The Alarm also doesnt work. It does not play any sound.
Does the bootloader/modem have anything to do with this problem?
I have tried reinstalling the rom with a full wipe without XPOSED and I still cant play any media on youtube, or poweramp. :crying:

It looks like you're posting in the wrong forum. This is the forum for the S4 ACTIVE (i9295) which is a very different phone than the regular S4 (i9205). Try posting in the appropriate forum or even the thread for the ROM you are using and you should get a response.
Sir, this is not the S4 active branch as it clearly states on top of my screen that im in;
Samsung Galaxy S 4 i9500, i9505, i9505G, i9506 > Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting > Cannot play ANY media files after updating 4.3
But have you tried removing Xposed? To see if that fixed your problem?

I initially posted this in the wrong section (S4 Active) and it was just recently moved to this subforum, which is the correct one.
I have tried reinstalling the ROM without Xposed and no, it did not fix my problem.

Try to flash another kernel, it may solve your problem, i had a problem playing videos and music with a kernel once (in my s3), just try it, good luck !

What do you mean by installing another kernel? will it work if I install another ROM?
EDIT: I just tried installing another rom (the google rom found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2544474) and I still cannot play any media files (music on poweramp, streams on twitch, videos on youtube)
Also, I dont know if this is relevant to the problem, but I installed:
Bootloader -> BL_I9505XXUFNA5_373648_REV06_user_low_ship_MULTI_C ERT.tar.md5
Modems -> CP_I9505XXUFNA5_373648_REV06_user_low_ship_MULTI_C ERT.tar.md5
before in an attempt to install OMEGA's 4.4.2 rom but it didn't work, so I had to flash a 4.3 rom first.
Well then, my bad
That ROM uses the same kernel, try the alucard kernel.

Any progress here? I'm facing the same issue.
It's pretty strange, i guess im not a noob at flashing Roms and stuff. A few days ago i flashed Echo v 12 (TW, 4.3 Base). It was working like a charm (clean flashed, with Philz CWM). But since yesterday, i'm not able to play any videos (Youtube, Stock Video Player - Samsung, Stock Video Player - Google). I can download MX Player, which will work fine for me - but it wont fix the issue (Youtube still not working).
All the files i tried to play on the Stock Video Players, are Files that have been running without an Issue two days ago (same Rom, same Kernel).
What i allready tried:
- clearing cache and data of: Video Player (Samsung and Google), Media Storage, Gallery, Youtube (also uninstall Update), Browser (Samsung), Browser (Chrome).
- delete Google-Account
- turn off the device, remove Battery for 30 Seconds
- Boot into Recovery, Wipe Cache and Dalvik > Reboot
Still not working.
-Restore an older Nandroid > clear Cache and Dalvik > reboot > not working
Full Wipe (Factory Reset) > cleared Data and Cache of the above mentioned Apps > still not working
Full Wipe > Wipe to clean flash a new Rom > reflash Echoe v 12. > still not working.
I have no more Ideas what's wrong with my Device, next Step would be flashing Stock-Rom > reflash Echoe.
About the Error: When I'm trying to play any Video on Youtube, Stock Google Video Player, Stock Samsung Video Player i get the Message "Sorry cant play that Video". File-Type is Device-default for most Videos (i recorded them with my S4...).
Also, when i try to record a Video now on the default Samsung Camera app it says something like "Record failed" and stops, Pictures work just fine.
Please Guys help,
i have no more Ideas left and i allready tried that much.

Cant find the Edit-Button
Anyway, i fixed it. Here's what i did:
Odin-Flash Stock Rom (XXUBFM8) in my case, that means - flash Bootloader, CSC, PDA, Modem, ...
Boot > Video working
Odin-Flash latest Philz Touch
Install Echoe v12 (in Aroma, dont choose Youtube (it wont be installed as System App this way)
Boot
Odin Flash latest Modem, or Modem of best choice
Boot > Video still working.
I hope i solved it forever, that was a really annoying Error
So, my father's P8 Lite had some connection issues, so he decided to perform a factory reset.
So far so good, except that the play store isn't reachable directly. It's installed and updated, it shows in the app list, but it's not in the laucher, nor I can find it with the search tool. It's definetely there, because I can open it via widgets, but it's very annoying that the icon isn't there.
Is there a solution, besides trying another factory reset? I've already tried to download the apk from the web, but the issue remains.

on your homescreen swipe with both fingers away from each other. then you can see the hidden icons. if its not there go onto your homescreen and make a folder by dragging two icons to each other. go into that folder and hit the + sign.
after that you get a list with apps.
could you check if the play store is in there?
if not boot into recovery and try cleaning dalvik cache... (you won't lose anything)

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... :'(
