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...

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.
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.
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.

Hi All,
Just hoping someone can answer this for me. I have tried searching XDA and everything.
I have International S7 Edge rooted.
When ever i am trying to watch the live cricket matches from Smartcric.com or Touchcric.com video does not load, i do see the play button and everything but when i click play traffic doesnt move at all and video never gets to load..... HOWEVER when i turn on the wifi it works perfectly fine and no issues at all. Its really frustrating when i am outdoor.
Is there any option i can turn off or something so that i can watch these live streams? Been looking for this answer for ages.
Please help? Thanks a ton in Advance.
Regards,
Ali
I just checked it out, it's working fine both on mobile data and WiFi for me. Is it possible that your phone's ISP deactivated that option or something?
Try with a VPN. There are tons of free VPNs to try in the Play Store. (I wouldn't trust them too much but it should be good for watching videos). If it's working with VPN your ISP is blocking it.
Another option would be tapping the play button on the video and then tap and hold it to download the video. (This works in Chrome, but I guess in other browsers too)
Or try the apps. On smartcric I've seen they have an apk download for their app on their website. Maybe that works better because of a built-in player or something.
Or watch using Kodi.

So, one day, on my homescreen, 2 of the shortcuts were android icons. Clicking them said the app did not exist. I went into the app drawer, and the apps were still there, so, I remove the old icons, and made new shortcuts. No problem, everything seems to be working fine.
Later, I try to use netflix. It says that it cannot play due to error 0013. I look it up online, try clearing data, try uninstalling/reinstalling, and still error 0013. I saw someone say try using amazon app store's version, and that worked. A few days later though, the amazon store one gives me error 0013 too.
Another day later, I try to use the starz app, and it tells me that it can't play any videos because it failed to process drminfo. If I instead download the video, and try to play it, it tells me that the license expired.
Note: showtime, amazon video, and other video services work fine.
Now, another day later, I tried to bring up the recent apps bar, and after probably 30 seconds of delay, it came up, and while swiping some of the apps away, it told me it could not read some file (i think appinfo?).
Not sure if all of these are related, but, has anyone else had similar issues? Is there a resolution to this?
