[Q] Youtube - Works only for a short while - 7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

Not exactly.
I dont want to advertise the aplication here and thast why i didnt say a description, but basically the aplication searchs over internet for tv-shows links capables to be played directly on your device, with full screen support using megavideo, frogmovz, karambavidz and other hosting services. The search results are shown in a intuitive and easy to use interface.
You can find a detailed description in the xda thread of the aplication:

You are right, my mistake, i thught it was already availeable. So I will have to wait a bit more, thanks for the information.
Maybe I should close the thread and re-open it after flash has been released.
The app is now starting up, looks, and runs great. I've been waiting for this! Android 2.2~ version on my Droid X is amazing. Just waiting for Flash...

Just tried it out on both my Xoom and Captivate.
I am pretty sure things are working on the Captivate as they should, so used that as a guide. Hehe Test videos played through each host, low Res, but no issues.
OK.. on the Xoom the UI seems fine and works. Problems come up when playing the videos. When playing a Megavideo link the MV interface comes up with no player controls, nothing else happens. When trying Frogmovz or Karambavids.. I get a black screen with no video controls. Touching the center of the screen has triggered play/pause, but I just seem to get audio and no video is shown.
I tried out playing Megavideos through their website and that worked fine for me.

Hi,
The same problems have been reported by using unoficial flash version on htc evo. The solution was uninstall flash and reinstall from market.
Are you using the leaked version of flash 10.2 right?
It should be availeable on 18th on android market for all devices and it should fix the sound with no video issue.
Thanks for the infor, it wil really help us.
I have same issue with Xoom also. Works great and love the app on my fascinate.

Hello,
I have a paid for version of TV Shows Stream, it works on my Nexus One thanks very much for that. I admit that I probably never use it, but I like it and it works most of the time.
I have a Xoom, with v3.0.1 and the leaked Flask 10.2 APK. At this time, flash content via the stock browser seems to work fine but TV Shows Stream does not seem to work properly. All browsers come up with a blank window more or less, I tried a few megavideo and karambozworths.
Yes, it works great on the Nexus One but on the Xoom with the leaked 10.3 flash you can hear the sound but no video. Hope you get it working because it would be great to watch it on a larger screen!
I probably wouldn't be too concerned for now as the leaked version is having issues in other browsers as well. I'm not sure if that'd be because they don't see the leaked version or what... but as with the others, the app works fantastically on my Droid X but has no Video or Audio for the Xoom running the leaked Flash 10.2
Ill update again when its officially released March 18th and reinstalled.
TV Shows Stream full is my fav app and I use it daily on my Droid X with no issues. Cannot wait for xoom compatibility which as previously mentioned should be resolved when the official flash file is available on market March 18 if I read correctly. I will def uninstall the leaked file and load the official 10.2 release and report back on its usuability on my xoom. Great app btw dev. -

I have the Flash leak for my Xoom and I concur the app opens and you can see the list of shows but just cannot play the video (or see the video controls), just a blank screen.
However, I emailed myself a link for a show (from within your app) and then opened the link in the email with my broswer. The video played fine with no problems. Thus I assume when the official Flash 10.2 is released this week we will be able to load the video from right within the app - as I do on my Droid X.
BTW -great app - best money spent on an app. Keep up the awsome work
tv shows
I use the TV shows application all the time on my xoom. Right now u just have to email yourself the link for the video you want to play. I copy and paste the link in dolphin hd browser. Just make sure dolphin hd is in desktop mode. I doing this I can stream video fine, thanks for the great app also I have the leaked version of flash installed.

Hi
Is a usefull workaround but we have the intention to offer a better solutions.
We are almost sure that with the official release of flash player will work as it works most of devices, but we are already working in alternative solutions.
We have already a working solution in some video servers, karambavidz and Loombo (loombo will be added in next update) will have an option for watching the videos using any of the player you have installed on the phone, even native android player. FastForward and RW completelly working and very smooth playback, as not flash player will be used on those videos. More info soon, we are hard working right now on it.
Hi
Can someone uninstall the leaked version of flash and install the official 10.2 from market to chec if the problems still persist? Thanks in advanced.
Yes Haze, I've got the paid version and the behavior is the same. On the Xoom, the leaked version was 10.2.155.67 and todays version is 10.2.166.12 so I suspect very minor changes.

In the next update, Karambavidz video links will be able to be watched in the native android player or any other player , without the need of flash player.
You can also email yourself the link and open it with the dolphin HD broser as a temporary workaround, it has been reported to work fine.
We are working on it , thanks for the testing time.

Netflix

I saw mention of a few people getting the Netflix app from the revolution system dump working on the fascinate. Did any of you have any luck? If so, what ROM are you using? I had no luck on AOSP.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA Premium App
Yes I had great luck and it even installed perfectly on the fascinate. Only thing it doesn't do is stream video. Apparently it doesn't on any phone as of yet but you can at the moment check your instant and dvd selections perfectly.
I've got it installed and working fine. Streaming does get an error but I saw it may have something to do with current drm setup.

Nothing is corrupt. It's just not fully finished yet and wasn't supposed to be leaked.
Some devs in the hacking forum seem to have tracked to a drm issue. I know in some of the later superclean roms there was an issue with battery drain from the drm service always running so Adrynalyne dropped it from the framework but created a patch to put it back if there was any issue. I'm on sc2.9v & I've got the netflix app installed & logged in to my acct. but can't connect to stream. Anyone not on superclean try the app with any success?
Ran the Netflix app under 2.9 and 2.9.1 successfully but with no video stream. All we can do for now is check DVD and instant queues.
It requires hardware DRM, and checks the cpu. No bueno.

Too bad. Thanks for looking into it.
Doesnt netflix instant require windows silverlight...
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
I'm guessing beyond the DRM issue, Netflix simply hasn't activated the service on their servers yet for this app. So even right now on the appropriate hardware, it still wouldn't work.
Installed it on mine with rooted, personally cleaned out, stock rom - same result. Hoping that devs can get ahold of this and hack it up. Has anyone tried the playon sevice that is supposed to make hulu and netflix work?
I've tried the playon mobile but it definitely needs an upgrade do to it not having a wide range for working with routers. Believe me if anyone knows anything about networking it's me and mine is setup perfectly to run playon mobile. It has never connected for me at all. Which is a bummer because playon is on all my consoles in the house and it works great! I would try it out for sure because it is actually working for others on there router setups with playon mobile. I'm really looking forward to this netflix app though. I've been using it now for a couple of days and it works amazing except of course the "no streaming" not working right now. I've unpacked the netflix.apk and have looked at the coding and there's nothing we can do to make it work the way it should. In a sense netflix needs to click the "go" button if you will on there end to make it finally work.
I remember hearing that some new Android phones that will use the new (Qualcomm?) dual core chip will have something built in that will allow Netflix DRM to function and those that don't have it won't get that capability. I think it was from This Week in Google.
I use PlayOn for netflix.
I like it because it works but its a little slow.
Video Quality: 8
but being able to get netflix now:10

Does this convert the videos to flash I'm confused? I too witness silver light loading screens every time I'm watching nfx. How might this be possible
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
I assume you have PlayOn installed on both you phone and PC, right?
I am pretty sure it is converting on the fly to flv or something.
When I select netflix and choose a movie I get a screen that says "buffering" for about 10 sec and then the movie plays just fine.
sound is a 9/10 and video 8/10
hope you get it working, if you like I can post a vid of it working
Can't wait to get a full netflix ported to this phone. Is this a codec issue?

Modified YouTube app?

Hey guys I was just wondering if it were possible to modify
the YouTube app or even develop a new one that can gain full access to the website (no more unavailable on mobile devices ) and the ability to turn off the screen while listening to normal music videos (no music stopping ).
I find it annoying to have the screen on while just listening to a normal song which mainly display still pictures

im hoping too
Looks like were the only ones that want too see the youtube app. That actually works.....

YouTube/flash issues within browser

So I use stock browser/ICS browser+ to surf. And watching embedded YouTube videos within websites is a nightmare. I have STICK IT! App or even YouTube app so I'd have no problem using those but to even get the "share" button accessible I have to click play which causes a big lag and then im frantically trying to click share, which usually doesn't work. If I just let it play and then click fullscreen within the site it lags and usually freezes and blacks out screen and doesn't play
To add, I have sites loaded as "desktop" by default.
Usually what I end up doing is looking at video title and trying to find it myself on the YouTube app.
What are your guys' thoughts on playing embedded YouTube videos? Lately its been so frustrating.
EDIT: I forgot what the final straw was that had me post on here.....after the you tube video freezes or bugs out, the browser bugs and wont load a page until I reboot xoom, even if I end task in manager

Try reinstalling flash on your xoom. Just go to the play store and look up "Flash". You should see something like "Adobe Flash". Uninstall it, and then reinstall it.
Hope that helps.

[Q] YouTube app issue

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.
