webOS YouTube.com not working on 3.0.5 - TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Says that the flash player isn't updated. http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer recognizes the system as linux, so I'm afraid to attempt to manually update it as I'm guessing that is not the correct way. Any help? Only other way is to use http://m.youtube.com/ which is not the preferred method.
Sent from something with a Kモ尺れモㄥ.

Hmm that's odd, I updated to 3.0.5 and my YouTube videos seem to play just fine.

Ok, I feel stupid lol. I forgot that while debugging something I turned off flash in the browser settings. There are no problems now, well, with webOS anyways lol. Not too sure about me.

[Q] Decad3nce's 1.1r2 Youtube/Market Broken?

Hey,
So to get to this point I flashed the entire device back to stock 1.01, setup the BN account, rooted with Monster, setup youtube/gmail/market and tested. Everything works fine. I then used CWM to install the update to 1.1. Everything seems to work except that the market fails to connect and youtube just closes upon opening. I tried to fix the permissions, but that didn't resolve it. I also tried installing the Vendor.apk, but just keep getting a message about an invalid cert. Any ideas?
Yes had the same issues with R2 and also the touchscreen worked very strangely.
So went to a backup and loaded R1, that worked great.
I had the same problem. This fixed it for me:
1. Restore to stock 1.0.1 (Don't go from 1.0)
2. Register with B&N
2. Use latest autonooter
3. After you sign in to Youtube as instructed and get Market working, reboot
4. After you reboot, you'll notice that Market works, but Youtube force closes (I think this is where the problem is)
5. Uninstall Youtube (Clear Data first), and then install the signed Youtube .apk
6. After Youtube is working, then you can apply the prerooted 1.1 update.
After many frustrating hours of trying to get Market and Youtube to work, this is what worked the first time for me
I never did R2 but did do R1. My market worked fine but youtube didn't.
Anyway, if you have Titanium Backup then go in there and delete the cache from Youtube. Then go back and log into Youtube like you did with the original Autonooter setup. I think this will fix both. At least it got Youtube to work on mine
And if that didn't work for some reason try removing Youtube and installing it from the apk somewhere around page 20 of the thread.

The apk or the flashable install? The only apk I found wasn't signed correctly. I tried clearing the cache, but still no go. Just closes immediately.
I would try the flashable one. I did push the apk on mine but I think I later delete it. Besides I think the apk was the exact same as the one I had on there
I really think deleting the cache from Titanium Backup is what did it for me. Of course if you don't have it then getting it without the market makes it a little harder
Also try logging in with gmail and then going to the market. I see where one person said that fixed that for him. You might try gtalk. I just remember seeing the post and didn't have the issue myself
Some more info for you
Never tried this but if you're still having problems after all the stuff above with youtube then you may try removing data\data\com.google.android.youtube\shared_prefs That's what someone on page 5 of the thread recommended. I think I would just copy it off the nook and then remove it to see if it works
And if nothing else works with the market then there's a flashable vending app on page 24.
Not to threadjack but has anyone see an issue with DropBox with r1/r2 of this sideload? It just hangs on downloading and never does, evening erroring out.

These and lots more grievances are described in my blog. Decad3nce answered to me that whatever my experience with r1 is irreproducible to him, then recognizes he used "wrong" kernel, decided to put signed_YouTube into his ROM r2 -- instead of more stable HQ YouTube I proposed a month ago. There's tons more of broken stuff both in r1 and r2, I won't quote the whole list here. Staying on 1.0.1 with fake build.prop is probably the best way to deal with 1.1.0 "upgrade".

I don't know, but the youtube app for me when I goto certain youtube videos displays an HQ logo topright at beginning. Does that not mean HQ is working?
What else for you is broken. You state tons and yet with the exception of the XDA app and LCD density (which I suspect is more due to the B&N changes than his 1.1), everything works as good or better than on 1.0.1

What I did to get market working was to update it to 2.2.7, then upgrade to 1.1.

How do I clear the data and uninstall the Youtube apk? It's now a system app and doesn't show up under "manage apps" I tried installing it again as an update but that didn't work. I uninstalled the update, but it still shows up under my "Extras". It just fails to open.
Market and Gmail are working fine.

USB debugging doesn't work with this update. It keeps turning off which is a real pain in the butt. That on top of the XDA app being borked was enough for me to restore my old build.
USB Debugging and Market....
I found usb debugging turned itself off once connected to PC so I'm using adb over wifi for the moment. Otherwise, USB Debugging can keep itself running without problem and button savior works fine.
The newer market(vending.apk is about 2MB) doesn't work on 1.1 preroot. It worked on the first boot but after first app was downloaded/installed the market FC and would never open again. However, the old market(file size is about 1MB) came with autonooter works with 1.1 preroot. So if you've updated the market, try the older version.
Not sure about youtube, mine works but very slow when opening videos, takes forever to buffer

I had the same problem on mine. What I did was to open Titanium Backup, find Youtube under Backup / Restore, and do a Wipe Data on it. At that point Youtube started to work again and I had to log into my channel as in the original autonooter
bitnerd, that worked like a charm. Simple enough. Thanks.
No problem. If you have other things that you can't fix otherwise it may work there too. I've noticed one or two apps that behaved strangely and then were fixed by clearing the cache data

[Q] PlayOn and Newer Youtube

I just got my NC last night in the mail and got it rooted and pretty much how I want it. Just 2 questions.
1) PlayOn from MediaMall doesn't show up in the market but I copied it from my phone (Captivate) and it doesn't show up as a app and won't install. I copied it to /data/app, same location it was, on the Captivate.
2) When I first rooted the newer YT app worked and then I got the instant close, I got a version working but I wanted to see if there is a way to get the new one working again?
I have searched and didn't come up with much.
Thanks.
Edit: NM Playon requires 2.2 , I will leave the question about PlayOn here for reference if anyone else tried to install.
Edit: I found a thread that has a signed_youtube.apk.
I remembered that last night Search wasn't working, thats why I didn't find anything.
Youtube stopped working after a reboot! Seems like wipe data in TiBu worked after reboot, does this need to be done every time? Or does this have to do with accessing My Channel?

I don't Think that Question has ever been fully answered for the stock roms. All I know is that at some point the youtube app will stop working and you have to clear the cache. I doubt it will get fixed, people are far to interasted in getting the newer roms working. Once B&N creates a stock 2.2 rom maybe then the issues with go away.

You can get Froyo running off SD. Also most Apps won't work if you just push them to the Android Device. If you have adb working run "adb install appname.apk" otherwise go to Settings --> Apllication --> Unknown Sources then copy the APKs to the Internal Storage and then use Astro File Manager to Install them.

Hulu for select Android 2.2 devices

Hulu has officially made it clear that they plan to release a Hulu app on Android "soon" to select android 2.2 devices. I am presuming this will not be released on our captivate because I don't believe it has DRM hardware.
Anyone think they will be able to crack this app when it comes out to get it onto our device?
This Hulu app will be the best thing since a youtube app!
Hopefully netflix will hurry up and give us an app, too. Unfortunately, it probably won't run on our device without some hacking because of the same DRM issue.

I think your forgetting about hulu+. Yours still gonna have to pay.
that'd be awesome if we can get this working along with the netflix app that's floating around here. I have both accounts so either one would suffice.

Here is a working version of Hulu. Make sure you go into Market and uncheck automatic updates of adobe flash player and DO NOT udpdate it.I cant remember where I found it but I have been running it for a while and works great.
1.Boot into Recovery (ClockworkMod). Flash the .zip and Reboot
2.Install Hulu.Apk...Enjoy
If you are having problems, uninstall Adobe Flash updates in the Market app and try again.
Thank you, Too bad they block Canadian IP's.
I've been streaming Hulu on my phone for a month now.

Sets up a media server on your PC that lets you stream Hulu, Netflix and a huge assortment of other streaming websites directly to your phone over 3G (no wi-fi needed). It also allows you to stream videos off of your PC that you download to your phone as well. (Watched a few HD movies this way from my bedroom.)

I tried with those direction, i had Flash 10.2 installed while flashing the zip (unknowingly that it was 10.1) after that i rebooted and it got in a loop at the kernel screen, had to get back into recovery and flash my CM7 update.zip file to get it to boot again, after that i installed the hulu.apk which would work but nothing would play, just a blue brick. So i went to try and uninstall flash and it would not let me uninstall. I had to use Root explorer to delete the Flash_player.apk fro the /system/app folder. Then i could properly put flash 10.2 back on. With 10.2 the video tried to load, but said unsupported device..

[Q] Hulu on vB2.8 ODEXED - CM7 XRON-ified

I just installed XRONified_vB2.8_Odex-bloat Rom on my HP touchpad and I can't get Hulu (non plus) to work. I get the Hulu is not supported on your platform message. Can someone tell me how to get it to work?
Thanks,

Uninstall flash and install the one here:

Don't need the app.
Thanks that worked. I think I tried it before, but I didn't do a reset. After that it worked.

Thanks for that. Love my hulu
Well I upgraded to the 2.9 XRON and now Hulu doesn't work for me. If anyone is on 2.9 can you see if it works for you?
Thanks,
Topp12
same thing as before - uninstall flash using titanium backup and install from previous link.
Working fine for me on 2.9
Thnks Rogabean!
Not sure what I am doing wrong. I tried that before I posted.
I removed flash using Titanium backup, then installed from the link you posted. Did you reserve after you remove and it after the new install?
Thanks,
Topp12
I have no idea what I am doing wrong. I even tried reinstalling 2.9 and still couldn't get it to work. I must be missing something.
I uninstalled flash, rebooted, installed new flash, rebooted, and all works fine for my Hulu plus apk.
I used TB to uninstall. It forced TP to reboot. I then installed updated flash, but hulu still doesn't work. I think its an isolated issue for a few people. Gonna try clearing caches...
"A little nonsense, now and then, is relished by the wisest men."
Is this a known issue in 2.9.1? I seem to remember hulu plus working fine in earlier builds.
I get the error "you seem to be having network issues" when loading the first ad before a video.
I can play videos in the browser just fine using the fixes from earlier, but hulu app wont work past the ads.
"A little nonsense, now and then, is relished by the wisest men."
I can't say that it is only a 2.91 issue since I have not been able to get hulu to work wife I updated to 2.9. Also now I noticed that ESPN videos don't work either.

Apps keep crashing

I installed Android 4.4.4 on my touchpad today. Everything went well. But the main problem is that Youtube, Chrome and Opera keep crashing. In Youtube when i tap to load a video the app freezes and then crashes. Is there a fix, is the android old and shoud i upgrade to a newer version. The apps are downloaded from Google Play store
Which version of 4.4.4 did you install?
I have two here that I just pulled out to check for you, and then was faced with the forced update of YT.
(thanks google...)
Took and hour but finally got through that BS but they are both working.
The version installed that was shown on play store was from Oct, 2019
Version 14.43.55 is what it has been updated to on both.
LineageOS 11-20180827-UNOFFICAL.
and JCS's CM11 on the other from waaay back in '15 or '16.

The ROM that i downloaded was called lineage-11-20201201-NIGHTLY-MLQ-tenderloin
the GAPPS is gapps-base-arm-4.4.4-20170902-1-signed
and the TWRP is update-TWRP-jcs-dm-tenderloin-20140612b
And I think that there is maybe a video playbach issue, because even in the stock browser in desktop mode the video starts, but then crashes the browser.
Also in Chrome when i search for something it loads, but the page is blank and when i try to swipe Chrome crashes. Tryed Opera - same outcome

Well that's odd. usually Milaq's ROMs are GTG.
All your versions of GApps and TWRP are what I'm running.
Something is whacked since you can't bring it up in Chrome or Opera.
Perhaps try JCS's? That's what I've got on my 'Main' go-to TP.
Just tried YT on Opera and it functioned.
