Does anyone have the problem or have a solution to the problem of YouTube not playing when in HQ mode on the Nook Color in Nightly 177? The error message I get is "There was a problem while playing Touch to retry". Turning off the HQ mode while holding sideways let's me watch in the lower resolution. I finally updated from over 100 nightlies ago where HQ did work but had the battery drain issue...
Thanks

Use earlier YouTube APk for now.

Mine with N177 shows the HQ icon, but still looks somewhat blocky. This is with the current youtube from market.
...I am using the old market though, prior to device checking... So maybe my youtube isn't the same version?

Has anyone been having problems playing youtube videos? For some strange reason, I can play one video and any attempt afterwards results in a long loading screen followed by a forced close. When I try to get back into watch a video again, i get an error message that the video can't be played. I'm getting this for all the videos. I've tried running Paul's Desire ROM r22 as well as Enomther's latest ROM and the same problem is persisting. I'm getting this problem when running the YouTube widget but everyting is fine when I go to youtube.com.
Im running the customized nookie froyo from emmc 0.6.8 and video playback desnt work. According to nookdvs the youtube app works as of last version. The first frame of video shows then freezes thn only the audio continues. The audio even continues when youtube app is closed which is annoying but not a dealbreaker. Does video work for other nookie froyo users and if so how did you do it?
Ok tried it one last time and its fine..... not sure what sure what happened but yay
Ok, it works sometimes, though still kinda sketchy. Anybody running the 2/25 update yet? Is video any better?

The newest update 100% fixed videos for me. Now everything works.

Ok then, I'm sold. Off to flash - I'll report back here.
So all video playback works now or just YouTube?

All videos work. I just stayed up all night converting HD TV shows in Handbrake and they look great. The video backend is fully working, as there is no way the Nook Color's CPU can decode them.
Froyo is where the party is at!!!!
I will concur: youtube works awesome. Vimeo in Browser shows HD video beautifully. I haven't loaded any video content myself yet, but I imagine it would work well also.
wifi still seems glitchy - it drops connection on sleep and sometimes won't give it back on wake. This could be a settings problem though.
Battery life seems pretty dismal too, but this is probably related to the OC kernel.
Notifications are still strangely squished. Not a big deal but ugly.
I think those are all my complaints. This is probably the best nc experience I've yet enjoyed.

I use the Market program "Soft Locker" to fix that problem.
I'm sure this is a really common problem, but I can't get any videos to play on YouTube on my HP touchpad with cm10.1. I had the same problem with cm9 and thought cm10.1 might fix it but I was wrong.
Tried finding the answer on these forums but didn't have any luck.
Thanks!!
Do you have any audio problems? I have the same problem but it only happens when the audio stops working (which is a few minutes after rebooting).

No, no audio problems at all and the problem is all the time not just on bootup...
Did you do a dirty install or wipe it clean and start from scratch? I haven't had any issues on mine but I've been doing a clean install each time I upgrade to a higher version.

Clean install, and I had the same problem both on cm9 and on cm10.1
If I remember correctly, I was able to play YouTube videos on cm9 sometimes if I made the settings HQ but on the new YouTube app it doesn't even give me enough time to change the settings. Just immediately doesn't play the video with either an "unsupported video format" or an "action isn't allowed" error.
Hmmm, I haven't heard of any widespread youtube problems. I'm beginning to wonder if it might be a hardware related problem with your tablet. Can you play videos using something else, like MX Player? If so, does it play in hardware mode?

I can play videos in mx player , but hardware mode is a little choppy.
Interestingly, I just tried playing YouTube videos in the browser and it did work fine... So maybe its a problem only with the YouTube app? But why would it only affect my touchpad?
Wow just uninstalled and reinstalled the YouTube app and now it works.
Can't believe it was so simple to solve this problem that I have had for months on two different ROMs...
Thanks for the help guys!
The known screen flicker bug in last played video seems to be fixed in the latest 7.1A.0.4 Movies apk. No issues on Xperia t 4.3 JB so far. Could anybody confirm that?
Nope! I still have it

Interesting. Not a single flicker here, been using for several hours. Have you cleared the data of movies apk? That's all I did, just reg. install and clear. Been flickering a lot on previous versions playing the same video.
Nope, it's back again. Weird that it's been gone for awhile.
Still there, annoying

Hello,
This phone is much more than what I expected for the price, it feels faster and battery lasts longer than the ZenFone 5 I'm currently using.
I have an issue though. When playing web video through Firefox, Twitter app or YouTube app the video remains frozen on the first image but audio continues to plays fine. Using Chrome video plays choppy, like 1fps, and audio continues to play normally.
Has anyone else had this problem?
I converted this from Prime to non-Prime and is rooted. I didn't test before doing these changes, but I suppose that shouldn't have any adverse effect.
I rooted added 128 GB card and removed ads and Amazon apps and install Xposed and gravity box on mine. No issues for me including video. This phone works at least as well as my iPhone 6. Did you try on a different connection?

Hello,
It's not a bandwidth issue. The videos play but are not rendered (at least not properly) on the screen. You can hear the audio from the video, but you see only the first frame of the video or a black rectangle.
I'll say it's something related to the gpu.

I don't have this issue. I would return the phone to Amazon ASAP if factory reset doesn't fix it.
Hello,
I went into recovery and did a cache and dalvik wipe, now everything works as it should.
Thanks for the replies.

I'm having the same issue and that did not fix it. Youtube stutters, instagram videos, and even the camera viewfinder.
