I recently got the J16 update for my samsung vibrant and noticed a small issue with my youtube app. I wanted to see if any one else was experiencing a similar issue. When I look for a video it will say searching for "xxxxxx" (the x's are symbolizing your choice of word). Once its done searching for the videos it will say at the top found "100000" for "xxxxxx" but the app shows no results it just says no videos found where all the videos should be

Okay just found out that in the version of the youtube app that I have the safe search is on and grayed out so I can't choose to disable this.
This is an issue since I can't veiw any videos with questionable words in the search like cannibal corpse songs.
Only way I've found around it is searching on mobile youtube then choosing to play on the app. Which is very inconvenient.
Is there a easy to fix this that I'm not able to find

A new startup company has come up with a great way to search and play online videos.
Download PPC version onto my Tytn and it works a treat!!
Try it from... http://www.vtap.com/
Cool, thanks.
Okay. This is cool.
- Has one of them "as you type" searchbars for video and wikipedia. Type in "kitten" and it shows in nanoseconds all the relative stuff about kittens.
- Really fast, as from software point and in downloading videos.
- Seems to have gazillion video sites.
- Plays videos really smooth. Has different quality settings and an audio only mode. (Tested with Wizard)
- Background and playlist mode for video downloading. Good if you're using cellular networks.
It does have few bugs and it doesn't really have a way to list videos like "top 10 from youtube", instead it shows a list of some news, sports and political stuff on the search page by default.
They also seem to be planning a java version for the functionally challenged phones
I recorded a quick overview of the software

Btw, sorry for the quality. I didnt know that the youtube-online recorder does that.
aside from just playing "unrestricted" video, this is pretty brilliant
Brilliant piece of software.
Just one thing I noted immediately after its installation.
1) I tried to install this on the storage card. But it actually installed in the programs folder of the main memory.
2) After I installed this software I keep getting the sound I have associated with the event "Connection Established" ever few seconds though actual connection does not take place. As a fix I have disabled any sound for the event "Connection Established". Anyone else noticed this. My device is the HTC Touch.

I agree, would really like to filter the results by site (i.e YouTube only).
Since it downloads the videos in order to play them - I nice feature would be to beable to save the videos for later repeat views.
Pretty good app so far.
One way to filter clips in vTap
search youtube and select youtube group and then do search...pretty cool... they are doing search with in the group....

I had the same problem... Is there any workaround to get it installed to storage card instead?
Wow, very nice, love how it shows all videos, organizes some into videos, shows all video sites, etc and is VERY fast in both displaying videos and information as well as buffering and showing the actual video.
Storage Card problem.

I have contacted the support for vTap, and they have indicated that a fix should be available shortly.
Great news aalvino!, thanks
Works Great on my Touch!
Btw... there's a new version now that supports installation to storage card
great app to make youtube and other video sites work on a Prophet. But, I might just be dumb, I can´t find a seekbar or a similar tool that would allow me to jump to a specific part of the video I´m watching.
Is there something of the sort in vTap?
is there a way to fast forward or rewind the video in vtap? the arrows arent highlighted...
Very cool app but not at all new. I had a version of this installed almost a year ago..never did understand why people were having so much trouble with youtube videos when vtap played them just fine from the beginning. Good application
This is nothing new at all.
Vtap has been around for quite some time, i don't know why you have a new thread started for it and calling it a startup complany? I have had this installed since last year!
The post actually started last year...
It seems like every video I have tried to pull up recently has been "blocked for mobile devices". It has mostly been music videos, but what is the purpose of this? Other than to keep the RIAA happy? Sorry for the rant, but it's really gotten under my skin as of late because this used to never be a problem.
/rant off
This is only a problem with the Youtube app. And as for why they block them on mobile, who's to say. Could be a RIAA thing, most likely yeah. But my suggestion is to say screw the app altogether. Set your browser to use desktop config and basically go to the regular www.youtube.com page and watch your video using flash. It can be a bit laggy depending on ads etc, but for the most part its better quality and there is no blocking for mobile this way.

I think you can blame the app developers that make youtube apps that violate youtubes term of service because they allow you to download or rip mp3's from the videos.
Can't you just set your browser to desktop and use youtube.com?
Sounds more like a problem with VEVO, IMHO.
They won't even let you link most of their stuff. I'm pretty sure that Google's purchase has zero effect, especially considering how long ago Google took over YouTube.
I could be wrong, I just assumed( I know it's not good to assume) based on the fact I never really had an issue until recently.
It's kind of funny you posted this as I used to have this problem all the time. However only a few months ago Google stated all videos could be accessed from an android device from now on (don't remember the exact article) but ever since EVERY video I have looked up has played with the youtube app in HD over 4g.
So I am happy to say I have yet to have a problem at least since I switched from my Incredible to my Thunderbolt
Did you try using a browser instead of the app?
I haven't recently, but I will next time I have the issue and see if it resolves my problem. I was thinking I tried this before to no avail, but I could be wrong.
Also worth giving a shot is clearing the app cache. It may not be an issue with the content but rather an uncleared error that gets called upon on specific content.
Settings/Applications/manage Applications/YouTube/clear cache.
Turn off the phone (don't just reboot) and see if it makes a difference. Also, let us know if that does work.
Does anyone have a problem when using your browser to watch YouTube for some reason I cant anymore I have to switch to mobile version to view YouTube now
The music industry prohibits youtube from allowing users to watch their videos on the mobile app. It's the agreement youtube have with the record companies. This has nothing to do with Google purchasing youtube. Beside google purchased youtube 5 years ago.
If you want to watch that content then watch it through the browser. You must be on the desktop version of youtube and not the mobile youtube website.
I find it funny how you can just change your UA string in the browser and still watch those videos..
im looking for a video editing app where i can add a black overlay like some youtube videos have in the beginning, and have fade in effects. im planning on using the black screen to have text to describe the video. all im seeing is video trimming apps so far.
thanks
I have searched for this myself and from what I have found there is no such app. There was one that looked very promising but it was abandoned. I am very surprised that nobody has developed an app like this yet.

that is my one big gripe with taking videos from my phones is the fact i have to transfer it to my computer to edit them vs edit then straight to youtube from the phone. i know the i*hone has it on its camera software and its really popular, im surprised no dev has taken the task.
Videocam Illusion maybe?
I seem to get weird screen artifacts when trying to watch360° YouTube videos using Google Cardboard. The 360° videos work fine in normal viewing mode (i.e can look around fine by moving phone) but as soon as I hit the cardboard icon to switch to 'cardboard mode' (split screen video), the video has strange starburst artifacts.
It's fine when the phone is on a flat surface (looking down) but when you look up or around the artifacts appear.
I have uploaded a screen recording of the problem to YouTube but can't seem to embed video (or direct link) as a new user of these forums. Use the URL below to view:
youtube.com/watch?v=hINprrc3jnU
Android version: 6.0
YouTube app version: 10.43.60
Anyone else have the same problem?
found this thread through google and also saw you posted on Reddit. Having the exact same issue with a Samsung Note 5 and newest Youtube

Well it's the weirdest thing but it is no longer occurring for me! I'm not sure what has changed, Android & YouTube app version are the same. I did fine tune my cardboard settings by creating a custom QR code at:
google.co.uk/get/cardboard/viewerprofilegenerator
but I had already tried that a couple of times before and it didn't fix my problems (though it did seem to reduce severity of artifacts). Perhaps I just stumbled across the correct config 3rd time around? the default config that came with QR on the cardboard version I bought was terrible – double vision etc.
Same problem here with a Galaxy S6 and a BoboVR Z4 headset. The weirdest thing is that I started to see these screen artifacts just a few weeks ago, for no apparent reason. Everything had been working fine for me on Youtube 360° videos until then. By the way, I've tried several different profiles (QR codes), to no avail.
Same problem here with a Galaxy Note 5 & Dream Vision Pro I'm going to try some of the previous APK's of Youtube to see if I can get one working. It sounds like Youtube went and fixed something that wasn't broken again. Anyone else have the Magnet button stop working as well?
After a recent update of the app, I'm not noticing these screen artifacts anymore. Looks like it's been fixed.

Same Here
Hello
I don't know when it happens or if I just didn't notice before.
When I play youtube videos via the app, at 480p, it seems like there are scanlines across the screen, much like a scanline overlay on an emulator or that sort of thing.
I don't know if this is normal, or if I need to fiddle with settings somewhere.
I already tried to change a couple display settings in developer option but nothing happened.
After a quick check through a printscreen and looking at the picture afterwards, there are no scanlines.
Going back to the video, scanlines aren't appearing anymore.
Maybe something to do with the youtube buffer ?
Anybody with this issue ?
HOW TO REPRODUCE PROBLEM : Launch any youtube video at 480p, observe screen and weird scanlines on video.
You are not the only one with this problem
Check:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/help/stripes-watching-videos-emui-5-t3571796
Ive seen a lot of people complaining about this problem on hihonnor forums
Same problem here
I don't have the Honor 8 so I'm only speculating, but has anyone tried just uninstalling YouTube with an app like System App Remover (ROOT)...
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jumobile.manager.systemapp
Then reinstalling Youtube from the Play Store to see if that fixes it or is it just a problem with EMUI 5?
Yeah known issue
