Hey guys,
I'm desperate - I dont have any possiblity to watch YT vids on my 2X.
It happened overnight that suddenly videos on m.youtube (mobile site) crashed with the error "the video cannot be played". However any alternative doesnt work either.
1. mobile youtube site - videos dont even start playing, "the video cannot be played"
2. desktop youtube site - videos DO load, but I get artifacts or the video freezes while the sound goes on. This happens with every video.
3. YouTube app - videos show up as loading (loading icon) but videos rarely start playing (like 1 in 20 videos)
I cant see the problem. I think I got the power required to run videos in HD.
Things I have tried:
Installed a different browser (Dolphin), cleaned cache of YouTube app and browser, reinstalled browser and YT app, reinstalled Flash 11 and cleaned its cache. Nothing helped.
One funny thing I noticed is that videos work perfectly when I AM NOT LOGGED IN to YouTube. Crazy... However, that does not help. I want to watch my subscription videos, not some random videos YT suggests.
So it is:
Logged in: m.youtube doesnt even load, YouTube app doesnt load videos
Logged out: m.youtube works fine, YouTube app works
I don't have any rational explanation for this behaviour and I hope you have ideas or a working solution. Thanks in advance
C'mon guys, PLEASE. I only openend two threads on xda so far, and I didn't get an answer on any of them. What am I doing wrong?
Okay, **** this. I heard this forum is quite helpful and is the home for android experts. Won't post here again.
Try posting in a more general area than just the 2X. If any of us had the problem we would write to you.
So dont get pissed that you are one of kind. Tried setting the phone to factory-reset?

Because you have a unique problem that no body knows the answer to? I had an issue recently that no one on XDA knew the answer to, so I started troubleshooting and it turned out to be a corrupted video file that was making the phone freeze, and the gallery not work.
There are still a lot of unknowns about these phones. Why don't you change ROMs?
Anyway, have you tried using a different internet connection?

Hey, thanks you're trying to help me solve the problem.
I have tried it with my WLAN at home and mobile internet. I will try using a different WLAN connection when I get the chance.
I have not performed a factory reset. Can I backup all my data/apps/contacts with Titanium Backup?

Is your phone rooted? What you should do is root and install ROM manager, then you can boot into clockwork recovery, back up your current install, then factory wipe and install a new ROM.
There's an app called "appextractor" which has various options such as restoring app data etc. ( it rips it all from a CWM/nandroid backup of your choice)
Im using Topogigi's rom and its fine, however LG recently released 2.3/GB.
This is a good rom to try: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1328656
Depending on how much you've played with Android you'll likely understand zero of what I said though

There have been reported issues like this on the CM thread. I don't think they've come to isolate the cause. I've never had problems with youtube on any rom I've tried (Topo, mcr, cm7, thanatos, etc).
Which rom are you on? Do you have flash player installed? Is youtube not blocked in your country?

With this attitude, I thought you would have left this "useless" site... but then I see your posts after this and you seemed to have calmed down. Lets keep it that way.
Oh, my fault guys. I forgot to tell you my ROM.
Yes, my phone is rooted and runs CM7.1
I wouldnt have guessed that this could be the cause since the error began to appear of all sudden. I had been running CM7.1 for at least a week and YT was working fine.
I got the flash player installed and YouTube is not blocked in my country. Because of copyright, I cant watch some videos, but I can browser YouTube normally on my desktop PC.
Sorry for getting mad.

How can it be CM's fault? I am happy with this ROM except for this YouTube thing. I dont want the stock ROM or MIUI. MoDaCo looks too much like LG rom in my opinion.
Is there a way to fix it other than using the sledgehammer?

I haven't seen anyone mention this app here yet(if I missed it forgive me). It's called LukLuk and the quality of the movies is great although the selection isn't that big it has some decient choices. I haven't seen this in the market myself but my GF says that's where she got hers from. I recently flashed Haykuros Sapphire/Magic build so that's pobably why I haven't seen it. The app can also be downloaded directly from the site www.lukluk.org. I had a few problems with force closes and a notification telling me to set up a network connection, but a quick uninstall and reinstall seemed to fix the problem. Check it out, FREE streaming movies? You can't beat that.
just forcecloses on my G1 with RC9 modded by lucid

CM7 doesn't work with youtube. I'm not sure what your intentions are, but you can't play videos until the problem with the dsp/audio code gets worked out. Fortunately, it seems they have the problem narrowed down, so when The Great One returns from spring break, he has said he plans to hit the ground running.

Delete the Youtube.apk from /system/app then just install YouTube from Market.
Also make sure you have Flash Player 10.2 from Market.
If you use the lastest version of CM7, YouTube works, but at only 15fps..
Hopefully, this will be fixed soon...

Our definitions of "working perfectly" are very different.
Also, it's my understanding that the Youtube app does not use flash. It streams an Mp4 or something for efficiency and hardware accel. The YoutubeXL app is really just a browser pointed at youtube's XL site and it uses flash (software accel)

Maybe they are and maybe not...what I am trying to say is that my youtube works perfectly...in HD...just as well as it does on my phone...I'm trying to figure out WHY. If it is truly working the way it's supposed to, I wanted to share what I had going. I know that the apk doesn't use flv....(My flash works fine, too, so maybe I accidentally did something right there, as well.) Does anyone know how to measure fps in the youtube.apk setting? Thanks.

Can't install YouTube or Google Apps CM7 SD Nook Color
When I go to the market, it displays these apps but there is no INSTALL or DOWNLoad button. It's missing from the app page. I have tried going to the developers page and the same thing happens. It's as if it doesn't recognize the NOOK Color when CM7 is running. Latest CM7 version was installed less than a week ago. NetFlix works however. Any ideas? Thanks.

Okay, this was very helpful and works with brand new installs and presumable updates as well. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I'm glad I can now see the Install buttons on many more applications.
The only problem I have now is that many of the videos on YouTube give me the following error when I try to load them:
"There was a problem while playing... Touch to retry." Retrying doesn't help. The same videos load and play properly using my big Windows 7 computer. Has anyone seen this error and has a suggestion for a fix?
Thanks again.
Hi,
Im just curious how to track down the reason for reboots with stock ROM and stock kernel, not rooted. I had one random reboot yesterday (when watching trailers in the IMDB app) after almost a week I own N7. I know that one reboot in a week is nothing, but its my new toy and Id like to know how to track down the reason for that in case it happens again.
I found out some threads about this and generally it says I should use LogCat - but I dont know how to use it. So I please ask for help! For now, I started Stability Test (CPU+GPU) and wait ...
Happy New Year, Y'all !!!
EDIT: Ghardashyan a bit lower mentioned hes been having reboots when watching youtube videos. Anybody else having this kind of behavior? Also, I had my reboot when watching trailers in the IMDB app - its playing via youtube, right?
The ONLY reboot I have ever seen, is when the default lockscreen widget gets updated by the marketplace. It's guaranteed to reboot on 4.2. It does it every time on both my Nexus 4 and my Nexus 7.
You will only ever see it, if you remove the default android 4.2 lockscreen time widget and put something else there from the marketplace, and only when that widget gets a marketplace file update.
Perhaps you are seeing this? Do you have auto-update apps enabled???

I dont have auto-update enabled. I added another time/weather widget to the lockscreen but I dont think it got updated yesterday ... I will remove it and hope it wont reboot again. I sure think it was some app as the stability test goes for 2 hours without problem.

Its to do with location based services, HD Widgets is a major culprit and stated they were talking to Google to try and resolve the issue, it is also as stated before mainly because of the new lockscreen widgets, which HD Widgets also provide, so the stock widget could also cause the same issue?
Mine have pretty much stopped with the last update of HD Widgets, but it does still occur.

Since you're on stock rom and kernel, I think the best way would be to reset your device and keep track of what applications are installed, one at a time.
My guess is that one of the installed apps are causing it..

I know that, but as it was one reboot only in less than a week, it could take months to track the app down ... :laugh: Im about to restart the device myself and then use alogrec to continually record stuff.
EDIT: Alogrec is not recording a thing, so I rooted my phone. In case of restart, I believe it should be enough to save last_kmsg. Am I right?

Correlation does not equal causation and it seems some are eager to go barking up the wrong tree. As has been stated here, as well as confirmed by Google, it is a bug at the OS level. It has nothing to do, per say, with HD Widgets, YouTube, or any individual app. It affects all products running 4.2 and 4.2.1.
Until Google fixes the issue, there are only two guaranteed workarounds- disable location services or downgrade to 4.1.2.

Settings › Location. Bear in mind that the tradeoff is that, among other things, Google Now will no longer be functional.
For me, the reboots haven't been annoying enough to warrant disabling it on mine just yet.

Great, thanks. :good: I disabled that for now and will turn it on only when I need navigation. I dont use Google Now anyway.
BTW, when Google finds a solution for this, should I expect a full system upgrade?
Just experienced my first random reboot while streaming a flash video on Firefox Beta..
Random reboots are annoying me as well with my stock unrooted n7
Mostly though its during wifi/network activity not just in one app, have had reboots while in youtube, ebay, chrome etc. I have also seen it reboot while in standby
All started from 4.2
Would be interested to know if these reboots are reported back to google?

I upgraded from my nexus 5 recently and put hulu + back on this device like I've done for years now. Whenever I try to play a video with the service, it plays the opening ad(s), gets to the point where the video I requested should play and nothing happens. Looking carefully, the 10 second rewind button just flashes on and off but the video never plays. I've done Google searches all morning and all I found is a Facebook page showing that this is a known bug but no one has offered a fix. I've uninstalled, cleared data, used the older version from Dec but no dice. I already emailed Hulu like 3 days ago and no response. I'm running stock but decryption is off. Any ideas?

In case any of you were having issues with Hulu Plus (like I was), I found a fix for it.
Problem:
Hulu Plus will play the intro and first ad of a video, then stops and eventually crashes the app. This was happening on the 7.4 version of the ROM and was not tested on newer versions.
Solution:
By searching XDA for the issue, I found this post, which fixed the issue with me.
If you use a root explorer, or adb you can mount /system rw
Then delete vendor/lib/liboemcrypto.so
Reboot and DRM will work again.
I was able to do this using the file explorer in TWRP.
Hope this helps!

Thank you very much. This fixed it for me. Does the OS recreate the file when the first program needs it again? Why does this happen in the first place?

I honestly don't know. I assume it's a file having to do with DRM. That's why it allows you to play ads and not the DRM-protected shows. The original post I referenced does not go into too much details about what it does and why it wasn't working. Since I have recent nandroid backups of my ROM, I figured I'd give it a shot. Thankfully it worked without any issues (so far, at least).

ah nice, i didn't find anything. Thank you for the info.
I have the same problem... I don't know what to do...
same problem here - 1+3t see my chromecast device , attempts to connect and... thats all
I've not screwed around with this problem much since I don't "cast screen" aside from netflix which works (as said here). I did some screen casting from CM in the past, But::
I've experience the identical symptoms of this problem on CM13, CM14, etc, with their built in cast command. I don't know if it'll be identical or of any help, but I had to get rid of all of the /system partition based "cast" (whatever it's called in this version), from /system/apps ./priv-apps and other /system-like places..
When you are sure you've got it all gone, using root explorer or adb or whatever you prefer (of course, you have to be rooted) , then reboot, then install Google Home(chromecast) from the play store. That worked fine in the CM's. I'll see if I can dig up the correct file names & folders that apply to this version and get back to this thread if I do.
I'll be happy to be the guinea pig, so don't do this unless you want to take a chance on screwing up your phone, until I report back.
Edit 1: Of course, the 3t does it differently. They're using all /data spaces for the cast, and since I've installed "google home" I have to get rid of it first to figure out which files remain. Here is what there is right now, not that there is anything worth doing with it unless I've uninstalled Google Cast via play store:
