Youtube videos won't play on touchpad with Cyanogenmod

I'm sure this is a really common problem, but I can't get any videos to play on YouTube on my HP touchpad with cm10.1. I had the same problem with cm9 and thought cm10.1 might fix it but I was wrong.
Tried finding the answer on these forums but didn't have any luck.
Thanks!!

Do you have any audio problems? I have the same problem but it only happens when the audio stops working (which is a few minutes after rebooting).

No, no audio problems at all and the problem is all the time not just on bootup...

Did you do a dirty install or wipe it clean and start from scratch? I haven't had any issues on mine but I've been doing a clean install each time I upgrade to a higher version.

Clean install, and I had the same problem both on cm9 and on cm10.1
If I remember correctly, I was able to play YouTube videos on cm9 sometimes if I made the settings HQ but on the new YouTube app it doesn't even give me enough time to change the settings. Just immediately doesn't play the video with either an "unsupported video format" or an "action isn't allowed" error.

Hmmm, I haven't heard of any widespread youtube problems. I'm beginning to wonder if it might be a hardware related problem with your tablet. Can you play videos using something else, like MX Player? If so, does it play in hardware mode?

I can play videos in mx player , but hardware mode is a little choppy.
Interestingly, I just tried playing YouTube videos in the browser and it did work fine... So maybe its a problem only with the YouTube app? But why would it only affect my touchpad?

Wow just uninstalled and reinstalled the YouTube app and now it works.
Can't believe it was so simple to solve this problem that I have had for months on two different ROMs...
Thanks for the help guys!

[Q] Video Stops suddenly

I have a 2013 Moto X XT1053. I recently run into the problem where if I play a video a few seconds later the video would stop. This happens on youtube video (played via youtube app), local video playback( play via various players), and also games. When I start a game it would boot me out to the home page in a few seconds (sometimes longer). Seems any video or graphics will cause this bug. I have not updated the phone and have been running 4.4.4 for a while without a problem. It just happen out of the blue one day.
This bug happens even if my phone is bone stock.
So far I have tried reset the phone a few times. I also reload the factory image via RSlite to go back to a fresh out of box state. But it still does the same thing. I'm looking for help and suggestions. Thanks

Video playback issue

Hello,
This phone is much more than what I expected for the price, it feels faster and battery lasts longer than the ZenFone 5 I'm currently using.
I have an issue though. When playing web video through Firefox, Twitter app or YouTube app the video remains frozen on the first image but audio continues to plays fine. Using Chrome video plays choppy, like 1fps, and audio continues to play normally.
Has anyone else had this problem?
I converted this from Prime to non-Prime and is rooted. I didn't test before doing these changes, but I suppose that shouldn't have any adverse effect.

I rooted added 128 GB card and removed ads and Amazon apps and install Xposed and gravity box on mine. No issues for me including video. This phone works at least as well as my iPhone 6. Did you try on a different connection?

Hello,
It's not a bandwidth issue. The videos play but are not rendered (at least not properly) on the screen. You can hear the audio from the video, but you see only the first frame of the video or a black rectangle.
I'll say it's something related to the gpu.

I don't have this issue. I would return the phone to Amazon ASAP if factory reset doesn't fix it.

Hello,
I went into recovery and did a cache and dalvik wipe, now everything works as it should.
Thanks for the replies.

I'm having the same issue and that did not fix it. Youtube stutters, instagram videos, and even the camera viewfinder.

Video Playing Problem after Android 10

Hi guys,
After updating my sm-n960f (exynos) to android 10 via ota I can't play videos correctly.
With default player everything is fine but when it comes to third party players (mx player, vlc player etc) the problem shows up.
It's like I'm streaming a video which im not (playing from internal storage) the video freezes and actually there is a loading bar in mx player like when you're streaming ! I tried reinstall the apps, upgrading to last versions, turn off optimise battery usage but none of them works.
This problem is really annoying and I don't know what to do with this.
Help me please.
Thanks in advance

I would contact the app developer with the details. They will probably address this in a future update.

Thanks for your reply,
Of course the best way is contact to developers but since I have this issue on every third-party video player after updating to android 10 I just wanted to know that maybe there is a fix , trick or something that may help with this problem

This is a definate problem. On my Android 4 back up expria, ancient, android 4.4, all videos play fine. I only use Mx Player Pro, and find files using es explorer full. On Android 10 q, I tested same using a brand new 128 gig sd card, vidoes played fine upon installation or aforementioned apps, watched a vid, went to sleep, woke up, went to watch a vid, no video now plays. NONE. Tried different versions of mx player, tried vlc, different versions, but stuck with latest, knowing the problem is android 10 q, since the same 128 gig sd card with same movies all play fine in android 4.4, so yeah, get ready for the freeze's that lead to bootloop. I even tried wipe cache in recovery, and the factory reset, re-installed apps, same problem. Why they played, then stopped playing anything is beyond me, since i had no wifi connected, and no sim installed, quite simply, viewing video's in android 10 q is now a no go.
Symptoms include:
Immediate black screen, need to force reboot by holding power for 30 seconds.
Full black screen with tiny blue square dead center, nothing else functons, again, 30 second forced reboot
Video starts, then phone reboots of it's own accord
No video plays.
No, I dont have a virus, settings are set to sw decoding, since hardware brings more problems.
I guess they want us to go on youtube, but since I banned google in my entire network...

Phone started running slow

Hi All,
I've been living with this phone as stock firmware since it was released however over the past month or so I notice it's been running slow. I factory reset twice installed less apps and it's not solving the problem.
Any suggestions?
I assume this phone have enough juice to run everything as it once was.
Most of the issues are from video playback. When I pause a video then the phone goes to sleep, after I wake the video and try to play the video it will get all weird and I have to restart.

By stock firmware, do you mean you're running android 8.1 that the phone shipped with? Why haven't you updated your software?
Are you using the stock huawei video player or a third party player? Could be the player.
