Hello. I'm running cm10.1 and using the latest YouTube app.
After watching several videos perfectly and say using another app for a while, when I go back to YouTube, it doesn't load any video. It loads the description and suggestions but not the video. I tried restarting the WiFi and clearing the data of the YouTube app but only rebooting the tablet fixes it.
Any ideas?
This is the error
YouTube (20804): MediaPlayer error during playback [what=1, extra=-2147483648]
Did your ROM come with host time ad-blocking? Mine did and certain videos wouldn't load until I cleared my hosts file... Actually it was just about any video in HD.

No, hosts file is clean.
Actually I can load literally any video for a while and after approx. half an hour I cannot load any video.

Guys,
So I recently, successfully, followed the [ROM][CM7] [v1.3] Size-agnostic SD Card image and CM7 installer for SD Cards thread to use CM7 on an SD Card on my Nook Color 1.4.2. Everything worked out flawlessly and everything seems to be working just fine.
I have the Original Nook OS running via Internal Memory (If I boot without SD Card); and CM7 running via SD Card.
One issue that i've run into is that my YouTube is not playing HD Videos. If I try to play any HD Video, I get the error..
"There was a problem playing this video.
Please touch to retry".
If I click the "HD" button on top-right corner to disable HD, the video starts playing just fine in SD Quality. All SD Videos play just fine.
I have not been able to play any HD video at all on YouTube.
The YouTube I'm talking about is the YouTube App available on the Google Play Store.
Is it just me or do HD Videos not play on the Nook Color via YouTube?
Thanks!!
Unfortunately it depends on the format the hd is encoded to... it is hit and miss.
One thing that MAY help is to install MX player and the codec pack for it.

Thanks for replying Dizzy.
I installed MX Player and it's codecs; I have to say that my actual MP4/MKV files are actually running pretty smooth & nicely in this player .... however, YouTube HD Videos still won't work.
I think what bothers me is that it's not appearing as a "hit and miss" with me; it's appearing as a total "miss" with me and I want to make sure it's not just me. Over the last couple of days I must have tried something like 30 ~ 40 HD Clips - absolutely none of them work - each gives the same message.
Could it be something else in my setup?
Thanks.

I think the hit and miss is HQ work, but HD do not.

Ok - so basically HD Videos do not work on YouTube on the NC at all; that is fine, I think I just primarily wanted to make sure it's not just me or my setup. I know "HD" isn't really conducive on the NC anyways since it's max resolution is 854 X 480 ... it's not even 720p.
Thanks for clarifying.
Is there any way to modify the YouTube apk so that it won't play in HD? It's been getting annoying how it keeps trying to play in HD and just fails.

I'd like to know this as well.
Try the apk in the following link to play HQ youtube clips
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1282736
Only problem is that Google play detects this as an old version and will try and update. You could always break the market link with Titanium Backup or similar program

Actually the resolution is 1024x600.
A bit better than the lower res 854 x 480.

Try starting youtube app...
go menu... Settings... if High quality on mobile is checked... uncheck it... if it is unchecked... check it.
Mine is checked...
NOTICE: with it checked or unchecked... if you select a HD video... it will ALWAYS initialize in HD mode and you have to tap on the HD logo top right of video to avoid the error message.

I'm Running ICS and the only option in the Settings is to Disable HD over 3G, which the Nook doesn't have. Clicking the HD button disables HD playback for a Playlist but as soon as you leave the Playlist it defaults to HD again. Also HQ is also disabled if you Disable HD in the App. What I need is a patch for the Youtube app so that it thinks my Nook isn't HD capable as it's supposed to.

This was already suggested in this thread, but you can install an older version of YouTube that does not detect you are running in HD and it will play HD videos in HQ. They are decent quality and do not crash. But there is no tablet interface either. To keep play store from updating or bugging you, uncheck automatic updating for YouTube and tell it to not notify you of updates. Get the older version here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17983409
It is version 2.1.6

I already know about that but I updated to CM9 to get the new ICS interfaces. I'd rather suffer the HD presses(Which are less difficult in the latest UI overhaul from Google) then Downgrade. I'm just expressing that I'd be interested if anybody wanted to try and patch it. I have nowhere near the coding skills to create a patch myself(I'm standing on Earth while the Skills are on Neptune).

Well, I did try to patch it but for some reason I could not get it to decompile.

I see, that's odd.
I went to Staples to check out the Kindle Fire HD. And there is something that really bugged me. When playing a video there was a small tab in the middle right side of the screen that pulls up the menu bar. This tab never goes away while watching the video from my testing in the store.
This seems weird and distracting. Is this normal? I've watched some Kindle Fire HD reviews online and they were playing videos that seemed to be in full screen without the distracting tab I got in the store.

EDIT: There's no tab when playing Amazon videos or Personal videos (this time they even have an app for it) or YouTube app. I saw the tab only when playing videos through the browser.

With the demo unit there was a tab while playing Amazon videos.
Hopefully it's just a quirky demo unit thing then, because that tab was annoying me.
You just have to keep touching the screen til it goes away. Normally you have to touch it around four times.

I've tried Chrome and Dolphin so far. Chrome is a buggy mess on my HD+. Dolphin was better but it still randomly freezes and crashes. Any suggestions?

Same, I used to use Chrome on stock Nook ROM but didn't really like it. Nowhere near as good as desktop versions.
Quick question though for anyone using Cyanogenmod etc. Does your browser playback flash content? Before installing Cyanogenmod I backed up the flash apk downloaded from Nook store (think it's called "browser addon"), I then installed it in Cm and can view YouTube videos etc in the stock browser.

Firefox and flash are possible with cm 10.1, 10.2, and 11.
Don't know about chrome or aosp browser nor any other way.
kitkat is not as good for flash as older versions due to changes in the os and current hacks... but it will work.
I don't think I saw anyone else mention it but I really like UC browser HD. Give it a try.

I Like google chrome... Seems to work on everything i need it for.
I tried dolphin but was not impressed. It used a lot of battery on my hd for some reason.
Naked Browser, fastest I ever used.
UC is also very good.
Use Firefox to change HTTP head so I could watch some video limited to other foreign country

Kindle Fire HD ver 11.3.1.0
Rooted
For some reason every book reader app ive tried crashes the kindle. At least i think its a crash. It basically goes down like this..
- start kindle
- start up my book reader (tried moonreader+, aldiko book reader) now using calibre on pc to convert books to mobi
- read book for around 40 minutes or so then it restarts itself
- wait for it to finish starting back up
- read but this time it crashes quicker
- kindle restarts and repeat the process
- keeps resetting quicker and quicker and eventually i just stop reading
This only happens when trying to read books. It also seems to trigger the crash in the future. If i was to open a reader, close it and play a game or something eventually the kindle will restart. Games never crash my kindle but only if i open a book reader first it seems to crash it eventually.
Would a bad root or bad books cause this? The kindles sleep setting is set to disabled and ive tried different book readers then finally settling on calibre and just converting them from epub to mobi. Also tried using that wakelock app and it does nothing.
What sucks is my wife wanted a kindle so bad for reading books and the kindle does EVERYTHING else except book reading
Also i just realized if i were to go into the settings menu and just leave it there, eventually it would restart itself the same way it does with books but im not sure if its the same thing cause i had it charging when that happened.

I have tried practically every KFHD 7 rom available, they start off with great YouTube playback then I start getting Touch to Retry becuase the video has problems loading. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Apps Installed that could cause the error:
AD Blocker
VLC
I would guess adblocker, I use adblock plus, it got removed from the Google store but it's still kept up to date if you get it from their site. Seem's like anytime I use host file blocking it blocks YouTube from working. Oh and yay vlc, I use that too, love that video player.
