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.
Just wanted to see if anyone else was having a similar issue, and if so if anyone has any thoughts.
I haven't quite pinned down the cause yet, but I've noticed that when I try to share my phone screen with the Nexus Player (using the Chromecast app on my phone), it doesn't seem to work. It will initiate the screen sharing and show a picture that mirrors my phone, but then it's frozen. When I move to a different app or to my homescreen, the picture on the Nexus Player is stuck on the chromecast app.
I did a factory reset, and immediately tried the screen sharing at that point. It did work. I've done that twice now and it seems to be fine just after the reset. I'm not sure what the cause is but I'm trying to narrow it down to some kind of app I'm installing. Possibly Kodi or the Sideload Launcher? ES File Explorer? In any event, it's a pain to isolate since I have to completely wipe the Nexus Player when I encounter the issue.
I have tried a few things to restore screen sharing such as force quitting the casting program on the Nexus Player, along with erasing the cache and data. Doesn't seem to help.
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?
Thank you everyone.

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.

Hi guys,
Ever since I upgraded to Android N on my Shield Android TV, many apps don't run anymore. A good example is the Xfinity Stream app. Used to work on marshmallow but now it crashes as soon as the app is launched. I have encountered this same behaviour with other apps that worked fine under Android M.
Does anyone know how I can access logs with logcat on Android N on the SATV?
I want to launch the app and as soon as it crashes. I want to check the logs to see if I can find out why these apps are crashing.
Another issue that I'm having is with the DirecTV app, only the DirecTV for Tablets app runs, the normal app crashes and it used to work under Android M.
However the Tablet version makes the Shield unresponsive and it tells me that the DirecTV app is not responding, then it tells me that the System process is not responding and I have to do a hard shut down. I have tried to load a fresh image but it does not seem to fix the issue. I'm hopping to find out what is causing the issues with the logs if possible.
Are you using Adopted storage? did you restore apps data?.
If you did not do a factory reset after upgrading then it is highly recommended to do so.

Clear cache in settings. Worked for me.

I just signed up for YoutubeTV and I’m trying to access the Play Store and get the app but all I get is the spinning blue loading thing. Any ideas what is wrong or what I need to do? This is my only Android device so bit of a novice.

What gadget/specs are you using and any modifications to it?
It could had been updating itself but try wiping app's data and cache.
