Youtube app "cannot play video"

So I just noticed this today when I tried looking up a youtube video:
I went to the Youtube app and found a video to watch and not even a second after I clicked the video I received the following error:
"Cannot play video" "Sorry, this video cannot be played."
I hit OK and tried another. Same result. I tried about a dozen more... same.
I thought that MAYBE the Youtube Downloader app from the Market messed something up. So I uninstalled it. Same result. Rebooted my phone. Same.
Anyone have any ideas?
EDIT:
I originally had this issue over a year ago and the problem literally cleared itself back up. So for anyone still having this issue I removed the ***FIXED*** that I had on the title so you can all post your issues.
A little tip.
Please post details such as cache to sd, rom version, phone version, carrier, wifi/3G/Edge and a logcat would be helpful too.
Also list everything that you have done to try to fix the problem (wipe, cache clearing, etc.) so that you can be helped.
Thanks.

I've had the same happen to me. Seems to happen more often when I click a link from another site. When I browse in the Youtube app it seems to work more often.

It doesn't work at all on the Youtube app.
It doesn't work from a site either. The site just prompts me to view in the browser, steel or youtube app. Of course I don't have flash so I can't view it in the browser so my only REAL option is the app (which doesn't work).

Are you sure there wasn't a problem with Youtube's mobile site at the time you tried? I had a problem like this one night, and it was gone the next day.

I just tried it again. Still having the same problem.
Besides, if it was a problem with the site then I'm certain that more people would be experiencing this problem.

i also noticed this problem last night when trying to show this chick an airsoft video of an event i played in.... sure most have heard of it. "Operation Irene III"
it wouldnt play any videos. however, using the youtube downloader app it downloaded the video just fine. and i was able to view the video.
Just putting that out there for you guys

UPDATE:
I just tried it again to see if it would work. Most do now, although I clicked a couple that didn't. It must be a problem with Youtube and not my phone.
Phew! That's a relief.
Thanks guys.

the same thing was happening 2 me last night while i was trying 2 watch a couple of videos on youtube...

I've seen this issue when I had network problems - for example, I had a low wifi signal and the phone was apparently switching between edge and wifi back and forth while in the middle of downloading and playing a youtube video. The error showed up in the middle of the video.
So, it may not necessarily be the youtube website or your phone, but it may have to do with the state/quality of network connection too - e.g. how many packets are dropped, and how the youtube client is able to handle it.

Just checked it out on mine. I'm not having any real problems. I will, of course, post any problems that occur when I see them.

i seemed to have this problem when i had too many apps running, a quick jump to task manager and kill unused tasks seemed to clear it up. also a reboot would clear it up, im thinking it's a memory issue.

Nah. Tried all of that. Taskmanager, reboot, cache clear, you name it. I think it was a problem with Youtube.

Tried it on 3 (THAT'S RIGHT... THREE) different wifi networks, my 3G network and an Edge network. It wasn't a bandwidth problem.
My 3G I was averaging around 500kb/s
1st wifi was over 2000kb/s (@work)
2nd wifi was around 300kb/s (@work)
3rd wifi was about 4000kb/s (@home)
None were able to play any of the random youtube clips that I tried (which were over a dozen).
If you were wondering if I'm persistant... I am!

i have this problem too,there's a way:setting--application--manage applications,then find the youtube app and push the button"clear data".
try it~

Tried it. Didn't work. But it doesn't matter now anyway because whatever the problem was, corrected itself.
Must have been Youtube last night and this morning (2am to 7am PST)

hi
i have an asus p320 and it's sayies "cannot open video" something like that how can i fix this prob.???? can anyone give me a link to the youtube + fix plss??

Ive also had this happen, but always had thought that it was because every youtube fla encoded video might not be available on their mobile site. It seems to happen more often to me if I am trying to play a video that has been uploaded fairly recently...but I gave up on it a while back so havent checked in a while.

This Problem because network firewall, I tested at home it work but my office not work, how to open firewall port for youtube app

well I feel rather stupid now
So I had this problem, and thought the issue was cyanogen. Turns out I was blocking some obscure process with droidwall that is critical for youtube or media player or whatever. I'm afraid I can't say which process it was, because I just went through and enabled everything that remotely looked related to the system.

update
this happens to my g1 with cyanogenmod 4.2.3 all the time. i've cleared caches, rebooted, wiped, etc
repeatable always. random, but repeatable.
any ideas xda ?

Issues regarding YouTube

Okay so, to put it simply... I own an Sony Ericsson Xperia X8 which was rooted up until this day. At some time yesterday, YouTube randomly stopped having any connections to the internet.
At first, when you go to the application you can see videos, they load fine on the list as well as the names and thumbnails, but as soon as you click on them / search for videos / wait for 5 seconds you will get an error "Attention - There is no network connection right now. Please try again later."
I'm 100% positive that it's nothing with my net. Browser works fine, I don't use facebook so no idea if it works or not. I even stood right next to the router or modem, however you call it, with full signal and couldn't go to YouTube.
Now, I unrooted the phone. The issue is still there.
Restarting, pulling out battery, factory reset - Nothing worked.
I'm starting to go crazy with this.
No, youtube doesn't even work if I go the mobile site and try to run the video with the application.
No, it does not show up in "Manage applications" so I can't clear it.
Trust me I'd definetly want to go to Google Play and download a newer version, but considering Google says that Youtube isn't compatible with my device / or the actual INSTALL button on their page doesn't work on my phone.
Do help, I got nothing to do on the phone if there's no Youtube to watch videos or music.

The same thing happened to me yesterday with my Xperia x8 phone. I get the same message when I try to watch a youtube video. It was fine a couple of days ago!

If there's more people with the issue, I doubt it's a phone problem anymore. Youtube is most likely doing something then.. Either way, bump, in case someone knows how to fix this.

You might be right... Maybe they did some kind of update that caused this. Anyway, if I find a solution, I will post it here.

Try upgrading to froyo or gingerbread.It works fine on gingerbread.

I can't. My phone model is too high so I can't install 2.2 or higher.

I've been having this issue as well. There isn't anything wrong my connection, as I can load all the pages >.< I just wish someone had a solution. All I've found to do is clear the app data and that's done nothing...

You can (2.2-2.3). there are roms for locked bootloaders. You can consider that and see if it helps.
Also, update youtube if possible.

I can't. I don't recall finding one for 11W48.
You can't update Youtube further on Android 2.1 (aka above 2.20.16)

Build 15250 made my chromecast unusable.

So I got a chromecast over the vacations and it was working perfectly. Then yesterday it stopped while I was using it. I tried again to cast anything (youtube and Netflix) and it gives me an error message. I have tried factory reseting it twice, and nothing has changed. I have never rooted it or anything. Does anyone have any ideas?

Can you tell us the error message shown in the application(s)?
Also would help to know your make/model of router.

So of course. I try everything I can think of, then ask here, and the second I post it starts to work again. Thanks for helping me out even if I didn't need it. In case anyone still cares, the error said something like "error sending video to device", and it is an att uverse router.

Hahaha keep an eye on it. If it got a firmware update it might have been something related to UPnP or DHCP as those addresses are cached for a short time by the router. Let us know of it shows up again, otherwise have fun!

So actually this is still a problem. I cannot play more than about 3 minutes of a youtube video without it giving me an error. Netflix still works fine though. Does anyone have any ideas as to why this might be happening?

If you can tell us the make and model number, or point to the manual maybe we can find some probably settings that need adjustment, if the router isn't already listed on Google's known router issues page.
Otherwise, look for options that mention
IGMP
IPv6
Multicast
QoS

I added my mac address to the exception list as per Google instructions for 2 wire routers, but I am too tired to try anything tonight. I will post soon letting you know if it helped.

Same issue. I'm on 15250 with an actiontec c1000a modem. I can see the chromecast on all my devices but its being very erratic.
All this started with "test a" - I queued 2 videos from my phone, played 1 full 3:30 min video, and the 2nd video made the chromecast hang after 30s or so. It was unresponsive to all other devices and apps.
Did a factory reset, set everything up again. I played several videos under 3 mins, then switched devices, then switched to play music - all worked. Then I went back to "test a" and same problem.
edit : turns out it's always 1 video that does the "killing" as such. Prodigy's stand up (labelled "best quality") on YT. I don't want to link to the video really, but can anyone see if the same issue happens to them?

WMM is usually in the Advanced Wireless settings for most routers.

I did what Google said to do on the page you linked for a 2 wire modem, but nothing changed. Do you have any more ideas? It worked fine before the update, but now on YouTube only, it can't play more than about 3 minutes. It is an att uverse router, and I can get the exact model if needed

First try power cycling the router, then Chromecast. If that doesn't help please post model, sounds like something RTSP related maybe.

Couldn't get this to fail, sorry for the delay testing it.

It seems to me that my chromecast just hates these videos. Every other youtube video works fine except this audio book I have been listening to on YouTube. Thanks for all the help anyway.

[Q] Music streaming not working anymore on 3G

Hi everyone,
I really hope you can help me with this.
I usually listen to music using Spotify / Soundcloud and other music streaming apps. Until a week ago everything was fine.
Now, it's already 5 days I can't listen to music on these apps, everything's running fine but when I press play it seems it loads really slow, I can't even see the cover arts. It's like downloading at a really low speed, such as EDGE, but I'm 100% on 3G.
It's not something related with my operator neither with an app in particular, because the strange thing is internet works very smoothly in other apps, it's only happening when streaming on cellular data. Of course the same happens with video streaming using Twitch, Netflix and so on...
I tried rebooting, disabling/re-enabling cellular data/wi-fi. I didn't try a phone reset, should i give it a try?
Thanks in advance.

My first suggestion would be:
1. Insert your sim in to your wife's/friends smartphone and check if the issue is appearing, just to make sure it is nothing to do with operators bandwidth limitation.
2. Insert your wife's/friends sim in to your phone and check the same, to make sure it is really your phones issue.
If it is your phones fault, the first option would be to clear cache of problematic apps. Secondary option - factory reset. Third option - reflash modem/baseband. Forth option - wait for lollipop and hope it will fix it.
Good luck.

It's not the operator. None of the people I know have issues with the same operator, and there are a lot around me.
I tried a reset, seems to be working better but still not working, it's a little bit faster but not in any helpful way.
How can I reflash the modem?

Screen Mirror Not Working via Google Home (Chromecast)

Anyone having issue unable to screen cast from Google Home to chromecast? It will disconnect immediately upon clicking the screen cast button. There is no issue casting directly from apps such as youtube etc, but I want to mirror cast my screen. It works previously on my S7 Edge and Note 7...
Thanks!

Did it yesterday, it works just fine. Had the same issue you're describing with my S7E occasionally. Would kill the Home app and reboot the Chromecast, then it would start working.

Works for me. After I reset chromecast, but I'm sure it was my flaky CC not the phone?

Hmm I did a factory reset on the Chromecast, still the same problem. I even reinstall the Google Home. It shows "Disconnect" immediately after I click cast screen, damn annoying..

I've been researching this problem for the past week. What i've gathered so far is that some process interferes with mirroring after my phone has been running for a while... If I restart my phone, or chromecast - it works no problems. It also works casting netflix, youtube, etc. I have a samsung TV, and when i try to connect my phone through TV, it also works. I called Chromecast yesterday, thinking that it could be a defective chromecast device, but it works other than the above issue. So I think that some process gets activated some time shortly after phone reboot, and that's why when i press 'cast screen/audio' from Home app, it says 'disconnecting', because some other process is already working... I will be calling Samsung Tech support tonight, to see if they have any clue, although i don't get my hopes up. If their tech support guys are the same as their customer service reps, I won't get far with them.
I also tried any and all settings changes that i could think of, and nothing works. The best solution for me is either to restart my phone prior to mirroring, or just connect from TV to the phone (it works that way), not from phone to TV. If I figure out a solution, I'll try to update. I have a similar thread on Android Central in Note 8 General section that i started Sunday, 10/15/2017. No one seems to know the solution, and not many people have encountered this (you are the first person that i found with the same problem other than myself).
Just found this app by Samsung called "ScreenMirroring Patch", will try out after work: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...patch&hl=en&rdid=com.sec.screenmirroringpatch

My networks are the same - Chromecast and the phone. I had the problem you had previously, it would continuously drop the connection... This isn't the same problem, it just says ' connecting' and never does if i try to mirror my screen through Smart View (in my quick settings panel), or 'disconnecting' if i select 'cast screen/audio' through Home app.

This is the exact problem that I am having and the same resolution that I came to. I literally have to restart my phone every time I go to cast. I've had an issue where I left it casting for a while, but the phone seemed to forget and shut it off. The stream was still going on the Chromecast, but I could not disconnect with my phone via Netflix or through the Home app. After I rebooted, I was able to disconnect through the Home app.
I searched for a bout 10 days after I got my phone and found nothing about this. No answers, not even a mention of anyone else having the issue. I really thought I was the only one.

So I spoke to Samsung + Tech support, and they didn't know what the problem was. They offered for me to send in my device for repairs. I am kind of hesitant since i don't know if that would fix the problem, and it will take 9-11 business day, i don't have a decent phone to use for 2 weeks... He also suggested that it was a software bug, and that i wait for software update. Since we should be getting Oreo by the end of the year (fingers crossed), maybe i just wait until we get an update and see if it's fixed. I did a factory reset on Friday, but didn't check for the issue right away, only after installing all of my apps. Really don't know what to do... Hopeful that someone else discovers the solution - or concrete cause. Oh well... I will never buy directly from Samsung again. Verizon would have sent me a replacement, and I would have it in 2 days, and wouldn't be without a phone for 2 weeks.

I was curious so I tried screen mirroring to my Amazon Fire TV. Tries to connect but fails. My Note 8 will say connecting to Fire TV & my Fire TV will say connecting to Note 8 but it fails & disconnects.
I don't think wifi type has anything to do with it. My Note 5 screen mirrors fine & my Note 5 is connected to 2.4ghz & my Fire Tv is connected to 5ghz.
Tried restarting my Note 8 & even tried connecting it to the 5ghz also, no luck. I never use it but damn, just knowing that it doesn't work is not good for my health!

I recently added an exchange account, and remember a while back some phone options weren't available because they weren't secure enough and not allowed by exchange policy. I removed the account, cleared cache, and restarted the phone. It worked (usually does after a restart),but I'll will check again tomorrow

I did a search (outside of XDA) & it appears that a lot of people are having this problem with the Note 8, S8 also. I tried changing the resolution on both my Note 8 & Fire TV, still no luck for me but some say it worked for them.

Can you link to the other site's discussions? Thanks

First 3 results that pop up on Google. On Samsung forums so they're pretty useless.

Tried it, 2 posts up, even with restart after changing. No luck for me.

Wow, I didn't see those. Thank you, at least mine works after restart, and now I know that's it's probably a bug, not my phone is defective

So I changed my screen resolution to 450 as in the instructions in the picture, and haven't restarted the phone since about 8pm last night, and it works, it mirrors without restart - thank you!
Edit: I also removed my Exchange account, so that could have also been the cause

My other question is how to disable volume limiter when watching videos - any type, Netflix, showbox? I can disable it for headphones or Bluetooth through sound settings, but not for videos through the phone's speaker. Thanks in advance

I think I spoke too soon . Yesterday it worked all day from the day before, but this morning I tried to connect, and no luck. Oh well... I think it's a software bug. Hopefully they'll fix it in Oreo

I am running a Pixel XL 1 with Oreo and having this problem, anyone find a solution?
