when I use the youtube app and go to my subscriptions on my account, 90% of my subscriptions would show zero videos. For example, I'm subscribed to shaytards, but on the youtube app it would show shaytards have 0 videos.
How can I fix this?
Yeah I've asked this question several times on the forums. Everyone has these issues apparently, haven't heard of a fix as of yet.

ok, this is likely the result of replacing the auto-nooter Youtube app with the "HQ YouTube" app discussed here; but, no matter what I do, I cannot launch YouTube videos from any other application besides the Youtube app itself.
If I click on a Yotube video link in Dolphin HD or gReader, it brings me to a "link not found" page each and every time, for each and every video!
Any ideas?
both me and my friend are getting
YouTube "this video cannot be played" on some videos
What is causing this? is there a fix?
I can supply links to a video that doesn't play
Any ideas
Cheers
That may be due to your region..some YouTube videos are not allowed in some countries due to copywrite laws or censorship. If the same thing is happening on two different phones, likely it is not your phone that is the problem.

its not a region thing, the video play on the pc but not android
Link or search term?
its not my taste but here is a link

mostly my friends choice of pop music is not allowed
This is an option that YouTube gives content uploaders when posting videos. It's a specific option that goes some thing like "Disallow viewing content on mobile devices"
The reason this is done is because ads can't be played on Youtube mobile (whether browser or app) so they don't want to give you access to the video. The fact that it's mostly pop music makes sense, because recording labels and such will want to monetize their content, and mobile users represent a revenue loss.
The only way around it is to view the video through your browser while switched to a desktop user-agent.

I told my friend it probably had to do with 'advertising revenue' and 'control'.
Is there an easy way for her to view these videos? (or should i tell her to get a better taste in music )
Like I said, basically the only way is to watch it through "desktop Youtube".
Since we have Flash support, you can download an alternate browser like Dolphin Browser that lets you switch user agents and view the video from the full site.
There are also hacked browser.apk's out there with stuff like built-in user agent switching, 8 tabs etc.
Hope that helped.
had this problem works now
So I use stock browser/ICS browser+ to surf. And watching embedded YouTube videos within websites is a nightmare. I have STICK IT! App or even YouTube app so I'd have no problem using those but to even get the "share" button accessible I have to click play which causes a big lag and then im frantically trying to click share, which usually doesn't work. If I just let it play and then click fullscreen within the site it lags and usually freezes and blacks out screen and doesn't play
To add, I have sites loaded as "desktop" by default.
Usually what I end up doing is looking at video title and trying to find it myself on the YouTube app.
What are your guys' thoughts on playing embedded YouTube videos? Lately its been so frustrating.
EDIT: I forgot what the final straw was that had me post on here.....after the you tube video freezes or bugs out, the browser bugs and wont load a page until I reboot xoom, even if I end task in manager

Try reinstalling flash on your xoom. Just go to the play store and look up "Flash". You should see something like "Adobe Flash". Uninstall it, and then reinstall it.
Hope that helps.

This brings us an interesting question...
Does Chromecast "inherit" YouTube login credentials?
I don't think it does... I think your phone/tablet/Chrome just takes the YouTube link and sends it to Chromecast.
Thus, if the link requires some authentication at the YouTube account level, then it probably gets stuck.
What do you get in Chrome if you log out of YouTube then try to load the same page?

Ahh, I just came up with a test case... You can set a YouTube video to be private based on account. Going to try that in a bit.
---------- Post added at 04:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:30 PM ----------
Okay, here's what I did...
Uploaded video
Set video to Private
Opened YouTube on phone
Went to Uplaods
Video plays OK on phone
Cast video to Chromecast
Get message on phone: "This video is private and can not be played on name of Chromecast
This seems to confirm that Chromecast does not "log in as you" for YouTube, and therefore probably won't be able to play other restricted-access videos shared with your Google+/YouTube account.
I'm not sure how WillowTV handles the access restrictions, but I'm guessing when your subscription is active they set it so your Google+/YouTube account has access to their channel. If that's the case, it's likely not going to work for Chromecast until Google changes things. It'd be good to put in a support ticket with Google on this so they can either fix it or make it better known that private videos can't be casted.
Oh... They already do...

Some videos may not play using Chromecast. Private videos, live content, and videos not approved for mobile playback will not work with Chromecast.

Hello friends! Today I found something strange: I tried to cast a certain video and Chromecast says it is not available for casting. The video runs on my Nexus devices and I used to watch it on TV via Chromecast. Never had an issue so far. The video is Epic Rapbattles of history season 3 Hitler vs Vader. Is Google trying to prevent playing certain videos?

Correcting myself a bit here, there's another Chromecast support article which deals with paid content in general:
https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/3285407
It says paid (YouTube) channels should work, but live events are currently not supported.

I got "This video is not available on your TV" Plays fine on my phone though.
Must be some attribute or setting on the video...

Thanks for trying! The video was playing fine though days ago and it's old so I don't think the uploader changed anything... Maybe it's just a bug in the new YouTube app.
I'm sure by now some people are playing around with Chrome Beta on android and it's Chromecast function.. if not, within Chrome Beta's Url type
chrome://flags/#enable-cast
Enable the option and restart browser for change to update. Haven't seen any posts on this yet...but not why I'm posting it now.. I've followed the instructions to a T. However, the Chromecast icon never appears in any video... can someone post a link to a video that know works so I can figure out if it's me or just the ultra beta nature of it?

I am yet to successfully stream a video using Chrome Beta. Chromecast icon only shows while in fullscreen video mode, it connects, but doesn't stream. Maybe others had more luck with it.
Huh, thanks for the info... in the videos I've seen and or articles I've read no one bothered to mention that..
Though I thought I saw a YouTube of the icon appearing in chrome while viewing video while it was embedded....It was late and I was tired..could be wrong.
Google admits it to being pre-beta so I'm not complaining...just would like one working example...
I've gotten it to work several times on my Nexus 10, but it can be a little finicky. Confirmed on only showing the icon in full screen mode.

I had to remove the Beta and go back to the original because the Beta for some reason wouldn't work with Plex.tv
Works great for me but sadly it doesn't support flash. But playing mobile videos it works great. I used it the other to watch Naruto.

chrome beta update 3/12/14
Since the update Wednesday 3/12/14 I have been able to stream some web videos from my phone. Videos that have commercials at the beginning only stream the commercial but not the video content itself, it seems to crash and then prevent the video from playing have to close tab and enter the web site again. A video that has no commercials and goes straight to content loads and streams fine. It appears that streaming resets the video to the start when you switch over to Chromecast. This will work great once all bugs get fixed and websites use HTML5
