I did some research on how to solve the problem, but none of them are worked.
I tried several methods to sort this out.
1. clear cache
2. reinstall the youtube app
3. force stop and turn back on
Don't play videos at 60 fps.

Search has been down all day, so sorry if this is addressed somewhere else...
After the 3.1 update, MoboPlayer doesn't play anything for me and just force closes. Thankfully, RockPlayer still works. Anyone else encountering this?
I'm using the stock 3.1 OTA, but I am rooted. Everything else seems to be working fine so far.
I'm having problems with mobo being slow, and playing files then after sometime saying hardware decode isn't available, and refusing to play the same code until reboot, but this seems to be with stock layer too. I will try rockplayer tonight... on the plus side mkvs can play with hardware decode, but still no sound unless software decode.
Yea moboplayer worked great on my 3.0.1 but since I installed 3.1 its crashing etc
I'm using vplayer now which seems to work fine
Have you guys tried a reboot? A couple of my programs (including my go-to, JJcomics) were being force closey after the OTA, but a restart sorted them out.
I uninstalled and reinstalled, and I reboot my A500 at least daily (after shutting it off for the night). I can now get further and actually play a video, but it's nowhere near as smooth of an experience as it used to be. When I change the settings back to what they used to be before the reinstall, it just immediately force-closes again.
I notified the developer and will report back if/when they reply.
Have any of you guys tried just using the stock android video player app? I can now play xvid avi files using either the Gallery app or by launching the video player from within ES File Explorer thus negating the need to use mobo player or whatever (which does seem to run like crap since the 3.1 update) ? I'm fairly certain this did not work previously. However i may be wrong.....
Strange... My Moboplayer is working just fine, and in fact seems more stable than before the update to 3.1
Out of curiosity, what is your current build? (I know there are multiple build numbers out there, not sure why, but could that perhaps be a factor??)
I'm on build number Acer_A500_4.010.22_COM_GEN1
My mobo had the same types of issues... I rebooted and it was better... then I resorted to clearing data for the program and it's at least better... I will say that some files don't play and one I have will lock it up now and go black... can't blame mobo on this one but I'm sure that it'll have to mobo to fix it as long as updates take from acer =P)
edit: uninstalled mobo and the codec, tried divx, wmv, mpg, mp4, 3gp... and all of them fc'd the gallery. I forced closed the gallery and cleared the data now everyone of the file types I try works perfectly.
edit: on further review I loaded a divx and watched it for awhile shut it down and when I went to view it again it asked if I wanted to start at where I left off... yes... gallery fc'd on me... tried the whole proccess again after force closing and it would start the file and when resuming the gallery locks up again. I need to mention that I'm plugging my fat32 formatted wd 1tb drive (usb 2/3) drive (which btw, takes forever to load and if the screen sleeps the drive shuts down and has to reload (70+ seconds) again... not a great experience thus far... back to moboplayer.
I'm on Acer_A500_4.010.08_COM_GEN2.
I think it has a lot to do with what you're trying to play. I'm trying to play Divx/Xvid, which Mobo used to play great but not anymore. Now, suspiciously, the stock player didn't used to be able to play these, but now it does.
I think that points to a codec issue.
Anyone know what codec set I should download for the A500 from the Mobo site? I was never offered one during the initial or re-install, but I suspect I now need one since it doesn't like what it's getting from the stock 3.1 rom.
The only problem with the stock player is subs and not the greatest UI for automatically finding movies on the external SD or USB drives.
IMHO the stock player should be used for everything that it can actually play and use Moboplayer only in soft-decoding mode because its necessary. Better on your battery too.
After giving up on finding a fix for my sluggish YouTube appon my xoom. I started having problems with a sluggish android market app and downloaded app cache cleaner from the android market and ran it......it cleared an amazing 200mb of cache and the market now works fast again.....but the great part is that my YouTube app now works fast....no more waiting through endless buffering. I had tried clearing the YouTube cache in the past but it did nothing but since the cache cleaner wipes ALL cache it cleared up a huge amount that was probably clogging up the YouTube app. So far videos that were buffering non stop are now,after the full cache cleaning, loading fast as my PC browser.
Buffer problem is back....even with cache cleaner,oh well, I guess I'll just have to wait for a YouTube update.
Why not just clear cache in app instead. And youtube buffer is a router issue. Get a n router and see how fast it goes then. I had to get an expensive one that could handle more than normal. Otherwise it's a crap shoot. If it's a high quality hd video it will buffer on the sub $100 , routers.

I tried clearing the youtube app cache alone and it didn't help.....then I cleared everything using the cache cleaner and it worked like a charm but now it's buffering again. Must have been a coincidence. The router can handle YouTube streaming on the Xoom browser and I can watch Netflix without a problem.
YouTube app calls for way less data to be loaded at start, so it falls behind.

You tube and browsing speeds -FIX (for me anyway)
Ok so since I got my XOOM a couple of weeks ago I was thinking there was a general problem with the wifi speeds. I had problems with the youtube app in particular. It would buffer for ages and then sometimes not even show the vid. I also saw problems with other streaming data such as game downloads and in general the wifi speed was really dissapointing. I searched all over the place for a fix and found a few things to try like clear the cache from the you tube app as well as upgrading to 3.1 but nothing seemed to work until today
I downloaded wifi analyzed from the market which is a free apo that does exactly what it says on the tin, after a quick scan of my access point it advised me to change my channel to 6 from 10 after doing that my XOOM now flies and I mean flies - everything fro. General browsing to the annoying buffer times on the you tube app are now gone!!!!!
I am not saying change your channel to 6 - this was just the best channel for me so grab yourself a wifi analyzer app and give it a go - I hope it helps someone out there because this has resolved the last of my problems I had with my lovely XOOM

The only thing that's made my YouTube app work great again is to disable the HD before I start watching a video.
Most videos are still at a good , so they all look very good regardless of the HD being off.

Just got Nexus 7, updated to 4.1.1
I'm having an issue with the stock Youtube app. I watch a video and 5-6 minutes in, Youtube would just stop streaming the video. When I try to go back a page, Youtube hangs and crashes.
This happens with all videos and 5-6 minutes into the video. I can fast forward/rewind in the video, but the video stops after 5-6 minutes and youtube crashes after that.
Also another problem, sometimes when I click to watch a video, the video won't stream at all and will just have the circular loading screen.
Does anybody have similar issues?
I'm having the same issue. After I go to System -> Apps -> YouTube and clear the cache it works fine for a few mins but then goes back to this behavior. Any thoughts?

I have much better luck (and prefer) watching YouTube through the Chrome browser. No problems like you describe.
Having the same issue. I wonder, how many people have the same problem? If not so many, could it be related to:
-subscription?
-hardware?
-wifi-stength?
Any updates or solutions for this problem?
I've had this problem for a long time, although for me it usually occurs 1-2 minutes into the video instead of 5-6 minutes. Also it happens around 80% of the time i play a video, not everytime.
I'm stock and rooted.
"Hello, I just got this neo yesterday (it's used my workplace gave it to me). The sound and video play in slow motion, spotify, movies, youtube, etc. I tried deleting the cashed portion data, it worked but for only 5 seconds after reboot "
He explains the main issue I'm having but it works sometimes please help me out thanks
Bump
After updating Lineage on 6-8-18 (first update since initial install), YouTube videos have sporadically begun lagging for no apparent reason. After a couple of seconds into a video, the video will start dropping frames (from 60 FPS to around 20) and lag behind the audio. I have tried:
Closing out the video
Closing out the app
Restarting the S4
Clearing YouTube and system cache
Reinstalling YouTube
Disabling HW overlays and forcing GPU rendering
None of these provided a permanent fix. Restarting the S4 would fix it, but only on the first time using the app. Browsing YouTube through the browser works fine, but is not the ideal way to use YouTube long-term. This issue does not happen with all videos, it appears to be completely random which ones it uses.
