Anyones youtube app working?
Not loading popular, featured, cant search.
Or just me?
Access the internet using PIE (not Opera). Minimize (keep it running), then rerun YouTube.
I had a similar problem after flashing a cooked ROM. Youtube app installed but just sits at "Connecting" when trying to view a video. Installed Irus' youtube fix cab file and now it works great.
Thanks Irus for the fix! Wish I knew what you did you actually fix it.
Youtube not working
My issue is somewhat different so here it is. My friend has an iPhone we both went to the same website "www.bodyguardz.com" and clicked on the link to play the Youtube video of a television station's test of of the bodyguardz protector. The iPhone plays the clip my Fuze does not. Just a blank area where the video should be.
I tried this fix
http://www.modaco.com/content/rapha...app-is-installed-functional-on-the-at-t-fuze/
for the problem but it still does not work. To me it seems as though WM6 does not have a file association for Youtube. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Tyrbatt
I'm on Fresh 1.0. Haven't had a problem till today. Sometimes it says it doesn't support this video type, other times it says this video cannot be played. It's doing this a LOT on youtube. Any ideas?
when i try and play youtube videos it plays them but when i try and go to high quality it says cannot be played (fresh rom 1.0)
ok. That seems to be the issue i am having also. I guess it's a bug with fresh 1.0 then.
This has been happening all day. My hero is not working but the droid I tried today worked everytime. Weird. Not rooted
Is your hero running fresh 1.0?
Pasting this answer in a few places:
I just tested on wifi and evdo on fresh 1.0 with a "popular" video in the youtube app and it worked just fine in regular and high quality modes.
Tried it on mine. Went to "most popular". First 4 wouldn't play, fifth video played, went back to the first, it played, 2nd one didn't play, arrowed back, hit play again and it played. Seems to be random, like it's losing signal and dropping the video load.
fresh 1.0
yea, i dont get it.. that's exactly what mine is doing too. never had this issue before.

I'm also getting a turd slow 3g connection today. 450k down, but almost 700 up.. Freaking weird.
youtube vids...
I am running the fresh 1.0 Rom as well....n out of nowhere my YouTube app won't play anything..but if I go through the mobile YouTube webpage I can play anything I want....
Today, I got my Nexus 5 in the mail. So far I'm in love with the screen! However, every day I watch about 2 hours of YouTube vids on my phone and I can't seem to get 1080p video's. I've also tried the Viral Youtube app, but it only alows me to watch 720p. Every video I tried to watch in 1080p were 720p on my phone, but 1080p on my computer. Any tips?
The new Nexus 7 II also has the same problem. The only way to watch 1080p videos at the moment is to spend a few bucks for the paid version of the Viral player

Thanks for your answer! Not really happy with Google for not having updated the app yet. However, Google had to perfectionize the phone so I don't blame them.

OGYoutube by OSAMA *(I forgot his other name) is also another way.
It is an older version of YouTube nodded but has advanced settings such as custom resolutions and downloading.

Please correct me if I'm wrong but the native Youtube app doesn't allow 1080p playback on phones, does it?
In settings there is an option for HD on phones.

it limits quality to 720p..
personally i find this enough often android seems to have issues buffering videos even on strong wifi connections.
Don't forget that it will only allow HQ on mobile data connections (unless I'm mistaken) it reserves HD for WiFi connections.
The Viral app lets u play in 1080 p

Or you could install flash player and just directly go to the youtube website. I do this quite often.
I guess this is why when I share a video from youtube to XBMC via Yatse that it plays in 720p. Google really needs to fix this. I dont really care about 1080p on the device itself, even though it would be cool, but I use my phone to send youtube content to XBMC all the time and it sucks that its sending 720p instead of 1080p.
I'm trying the free version of viral from the play store, but it's only doing 720p.
Got the Viral Pro app, which had te 1080p button indeed. However, once pressed, the video keeps loading and loading. The app does show what the length of the video is, but it doesn't seem to load.
Just to be clear, the video I watched could be streamed in 1080p on my computer.
Hope someone can help me out with this one!
Edit: Found out that also 480p doesn't work.
How do you see the resolution? I only see an HD.

Same thing, if I choose 1080p it never loads the video. Another one I play for my kid won't play at 480p, but will at 360, not sure why. Need to test on my One when I can.

Are you sure about that?
Install the Flashplayer.apk and use a flash enabled browser.
Seems to work fine for me.

Are you on KitKat and what browser and Flash version are you using? I'm using the version 11.1.115.81 for Android 4.0, it doesn't work on KitKat.

I'm going to chime in here because ever since the new 5.xx YouTube app came out, 1080p playback has been disabled. I've been using a rooted and CM10.1 installed ROM on my Nook HD+ for a few months now and when the update from 4.5 to 5.x came out, the videos on the 1080p display were very pixelated and worse than the 720p video I would see using IMDB.com app in watching trailers.
I ended-up finding a 4.5.x YouTube app, uninstalling the 5.xx from the Nook, install the 4.5.x and disabling all updates on the YouTube app. Well, that has worked nicely and on my Nexus 4 the new 5.xx looked fine on the 720p so I left it alone. Now I have the Nexus 5 and we are back again with the pixelation. I tried uninstalling the 5.xx YouTube app... not possible. I tried to install the old 4.5.x and that didn't work, so I'm pretty much stuck unless I can find another YouTube app that will properly stream 1080p youtube video.
What's also troubling is that the videos on my Nexus 5 appear to be choppy even with 720p playback. Mind you, I'm watching dash-cam videos that are not very popular, and I have to admit that at times non-popular videos seem to load SO MUCH LONGER than all the popular ones. Seems like Google gives priority to the popular videos and makes you wait for all others.
Anyways, I'm very disappointed and hope someone can find an alternative or get Google to address this issue.
EDITED:
Added some screenshot samples, for the following YouTube videos, which I would recommend clicking on to see them at 100% resolution:

By the way... the above screen shots look the same on my 1280x768 screen, so as mentioned above I recommend downloading the originals.

I've downloaded VIRAL for my Nexus 5 and played back the video in 720p. The 720p made the YouTube HD playlook look that much worse. As if the YouTube is not even 720p.

Whenever I attempt to load a video for an app in the play store I get "Connection to server lost". Its particularly strange because I am able to view movie/tv previews in the play store, youtube, and other streaming video without an issue. The problem seems to be specific to videos for Apps and Games viewed through the play store. Not a huge deal but still kinda annoying. Anyone else seeing this problem?
Btw I applied the OTA and rooted with towelroot.

Yeah I'm having the exact same problem on mine. Good to know it's not just me. Hopefully they fix it soon.
same issue here. the video starts to play after i hit retry a few times. not too concerned with it right now but I'm hoping they fix
I got it too, guess it will be fixed in the next update. New toy, new bugs.
Same issue here as well. I also can't play YouTube videos from within other apps (Tapatalk, Reddit Sync). They give me the same error. I can play them if I open them in the YouTube app though.
Same here.
Videos play fine when on the phone through Video Player.
If I load Google Photos, play a video there, the playback is crazy jerky. Same video on google photos app on iOS does not do it.
Can't recall having the problem on OxygenOS but was wondering if anyone else had this issue before going back to O2 (1.01 broke touchscreen for me)
Thanks
Simpler request:
Could someone running 12.1 tell me if video is choppy in google photos please? Wish to see if the problem is on my end or an issue with Google Photos.
Many thanks!
Wiped, re-flashed Oxygen OS 1.0 (not 1.01), still same problem with Google Photos video playback. Choppy. The same videos are not choppy on iOS nor on desktop website (in chrome).
Perhaps a bug with Google Photos app?
I have this problem too. I hadn't tried the stock gallery app until I saw this post. It worked fine.
I wonder is its just oneplus related or dies it occur on other phones too?

Searching the web, saw that many users have issue on nexus devices (6 and 10). Seems like the latest versions of Google Photos are to blame. Haven't tried uninstalling current ver and installing old one through apkmirror yet to confirm.
I can confirm this issue.
OPO COS12.1, Google photos last version (1.4.).
Had the same problem on COS12.
When I revert photos app to version 1.0.1 the video plays fine.
Definitely photos app problem.
I will stick to 1.0.1 version of the app until there is an improvement in the app itself.
