Previous version of youtube needed

The current version of YOUTUBE (2.1.6) doesnot play videos in HQ and videos in normal quality are also somewhat not very lubricated. The previous version of YouTube was great and worked perfectly. I have googled for previous YouTube versions and tried several limks but they dont work. There are some very old links on XDA but they dont work as well.
I would be very thankful if somebody posts a link to YouTube v2.1.5 OR PREVIOUS.

Try running the same video files in other players like MX player & see if its giving the same error...then we will get to know if the problem is with the video player or something else...

Yes i tried with the mxplayer too, its not giving the messsage "unable to play video" but screen goes blank instead of that message......
Which means the same......
What can i do?

This brings us an interesting question...
Does Chromecast "inherit" YouTube login credentials?
I don't think it does... I think your phone/tablet/Chrome just takes the YouTube link and sends it to Chromecast.
Thus, if the link requires some authentication at the YouTube account level, then it probably gets stuck.
What do you get in Chrome if you log out of YouTube then try to load the same page?

Ahh, I just came up with a test case... You can set a YouTube video to be private based on account. Going to try that in a bit.
---------- Post added at 04:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:30 PM ----------
Okay, here's what I did...
Uploaded video
Set video to Private
Opened YouTube on phone
Went to Uplaods
Video plays OK on phone
Cast video to Chromecast
Get message on phone: "This video is private and can not be played on name of Chromecast
This seems to confirm that Chromecast does not "log in as you" for YouTube, and therefore probably won't be able to play other restricted-access videos shared with your Google+/YouTube account.
I'm not sure how WillowTV handles the access restrictions, but I'm guessing when your subscription is active they set it so your Google+/YouTube account has access to their channel. If that's the case, it's likely not going to work for Chromecast until Google changes things. It'd be good to put in a support ticket with Google on this so they can either fix it or make it better known that private videos can't be casted.
Oh... They already do...

Some videos may not play using Chromecast. Private videos, live content, and videos not approved for mobile playback will not work with Chromecast.

Hello friends! Today I found something strange: I tried to cast a certain video and Chromecast says it is not available for casting. The video runs on my Nexus devices and I used to watch it on TV via Chromecast. Never had an issue so far. The video is Epic Rapbattles of history season 3 Hitler vs Vader. Is Google trying to prevent playing certain videos?

Correcting myself a bit here, there's another Chromecast support article which deals with paid content in general:
https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/3285407
It says paid (YouTube) channels should work, but live events are currently not supported.

I got "This video is not available on your TV" Plays fine on my phone though.
Must be some attribute or setting on the video...

Thanks for trying! The video was playing fine though days ago and it's old so I don't think the uploader changed anything... Maybe it's just a bug in the new YouTube app.

Doesn't even work with netflix!!

Its always stopping the video only audio continues!! is there any lighter easier rom that I can flash to make this works smoother?

I have the same problem. Video plays for a few seconds, then freezes with only sound continuing.
The only way I can watch Netflix is by downloading the episode and then watching it. A bit of a hassle.
I would really appreciate any suggestions on how to successfully watch Netflix on this device. Hopefully bumping this thread will get some response from someone.
Thanks!

You have to downgrade the netflix app.
I have noticed it also and downgrading to version 5.9.0 works.

Rog phone 3 not able to use Netflix??

I read an article on XDA that rog phone 3 supports netflix
If I go to the play store and search for it, it says "this app isn't compatible with your device"
If I download the apk from Google, Netflix opens up, loads and then days "the app doesn't work on your device"
I have the Tencent Rog Phone 3 12GB 256GB version,
Can someone please help with installing and using Netflix? Thanks

Netflix was pre installed in Indian units and we're able to use Netflix. In which region are you using your phone and what is the firmware of your phone (global/Chinese/Taiwanese)?

Anyways you can install Netflix by downloading its apk (Google it). Try using Netflix, if it doesn't work, use VPN.

I think it needs a special version of Netflix. I also got that error, and the phone has Netflix pre installed.
