Hi Everyone
I'm new to android. Bought a POV Mobii tablet and got rid as it was pants. I've just bought a Storage Solutions Scroll tablet.
Runs Android 2.1, 256mb, 800mhz dc, 3d graphics
When I select videos through the preinstalled youtube app it says "Cannot display video".
I've rebooted to factory numerous times. I've read that clearing youtube cache can help but cant do that as youtube app is not in the app list (I guess as it's in the ROM).
I get the same on numerous wireless networks so I guess it's not down to that.
Can anyone help please? I've mucked around for hours and not getting anywhere!
Try installing the YouTube app from the market and run it again.

Okay, I've searched everywhere including Google's horrible support forums. I rented a movie to see if it is worth keeping my device unrooted for this functionality. The jury is still out on that one. I downloaded the movie to make it available offline and noted the impact on available storage which lowered by at least 1/2 gb. I have no idea where on the device the movie downloaded to. So I watched the movie and all was well, it played smoothly when I was out traveling out of range of any wi-fi. Now that I'm done, I'm looking to delete the movie from my system. There is NO delete function? I tried deleting from Market history (no option), from YouTube videos online (no option), searching the device itself for where it downloaded to etc. I cannot figure this one out. Any insight on this would be appreciated.
Hello,
I just updated my tf101 to ics (ota official). On Honeycomb I think the YouTube app was the app I used to most, it could play HD content at full fps and there were no problems. Fast forward to ICS where every video either skips or lags when a lot of things are moving around on the screen. This has made the youtube app unusable.
When I still had CWM i was also using ICS roms, but they had the same problem, so, I went back to honeycomb and it worked fine again. For some reason I thought the custom roms were to blame so I tried the official ota.
So to my question, is anyone else having these problems? And if so did you solve it? Also, is there an alternative to the youtube app? (I have tried the web version but it's waaay slower than the app at playing video).
Thanks!
No problems here. You could try to goto Manage Apps and clear the cache for YouTube...and then if that doesn't work also clear the data. That would be the first step in trouble shooting.
for my case, is the 720p mkv files lagging, for youtube i notice some stuttering , not anything that obvious though. BTW many have reported video performance dropped dramatically on the ICS
So there is no way to fix this? I tried to download a trailer and it lags as well. So it is not just the youtube app. Shouldn't the tf101 handle videos pretty good?
I tried everything and finally...
I uninstalled adobe flash player, and it stopped skipping around. Wondering if there is a system conflict on this tablet as there is sometimes w/ desktop versions of google and the conflicts between shockwave and flash player... oh well, it worked. Super frustrating.
I've been googling for an answer and haven't found a definite. I've been using the youtube preload feature to preload videos while at home so that I can watch them later during down time at work without using up all my data. Lately though it seems like it will only preload a couple videos. I plug in my phone an am connected to wifi and I see the arrow appear on a couple videos in my watch later list but not all of them. Does anyone know what could be causing this? is there some sort of limit for preloading or maybe a bug in the app? I tried clearing both youtube and media storage data cache with no change.
update: I went into advanced settings in youtube app and uncheck the "HD video over wifi" and went back into watch later folder and now most of my videos have the preload arrow on them... so, could it have to do with a file size limit? I would really prefer to have them in high quality, but I also don't want to use up all my data to do so... i hope a file size limit is not the case or that there is a work around for it.
Same here
Hey, I have the same problem as my phone only preloads one or two (max) videos on my youtube app and I've actually unchecked the HD option already.
My videos are usually 1hr long, so they should probably be what, 200 / 300 mb each? (depending if they are 360 / 480 resolution)
Does anyone know if there is a limit imposed by YouTube or if this is "self-regulated" depending the available amount of free space in the device?
I have noticed this also. I don't want to burn my data at work and the preload only grabs a few videos. Some of mine are only 10 minutes but still not downloaded.

I tried this solution and the mobile Youtube app did preload more than it had before. Might give it a try http://lifehacker.com/preload-entire-youtube-videos-by-disabling-dash-playbac-1186454034
Same problem here. Preloading works sometimes, regardless of size or HD. Tested with cm 10.2 on encore and stock 4.3 on nexus7.
I would really like to know why and when are some videos downloaded.
Is there a way to capture YouTube debug or trace logs?
Any help appreciated...

Yeah, I'm wondering the same thing. Been looking online for a few days. I can't figure out a rhyme or reason as to why some videos preload (green arrow), some have a white arrow, and some have no arrows. I've attempted deleted and adding them again to the list w/o success.
additional note for some, if they haven't noticed...the setttings section mentions "wifi and charging" required, not sure if this is a factor for some, doesn't seem to be it for me
not sure where earlier post has the 'hd setting' to uncheck. was this an earlier version of the YT app?
still troubleshooting....hmmmm.
I do not know but the answer but my educated guess is that youtube only Preloaded some videos, as it has some constraints on cAche size. It does optimize ratio of loaded videos vs available Cache, that's why the videos load it are random
I'm used to this issue on my 3 months old Galaxy Tab S, it has never worked as expected showing the maximum 1440p resolution until you clear YouTube cache and data, force close it, disable it Uninstalling updates, once this is done then you go to Play Store and look for YouTube, it should shows Enable, and one you enable it, and update to latest version, then you have your full resolution options including 1440p. Sad thing is that everytime there is a new YouTube update we need to do the same again.
I did the same steps on my Z3 just to see that it didn't work, so I went back to apps and saw that there are 2 more apps directly related to YouTube, I already have disabled Live On YouTube as I tried to use it and never weekend and then I realized that I'll never use it again. Anyway, I decided to do the same steps mentioned above but this time I also disabled the 2 YouTube extensions that are there, went back to the Play Store and Enabled and updated YouTube and when I went back to the app there are all the options including 1080p, one thing though, it seems to not stay skeeter by default, just select it and then re-start the video and you will see it on 1080p.
I re-enabled the 2 YouTube Extensions back just to see if it breaks it again but it seems that it still working so that's good news.
I hope you can fix it with this information, at least until the next YouTube update.
Hey erasat, thanks for the info.
Just tried, but I didnt understand which apps you meants by "2 more apps directly related to youtube"? - the Live On youtube & the youtube app itself? is that what you meant, or is there one more?

On my D6633 with latest Custom HK firmware, there are 2 apps named, YouTube extension and YouTube Karaoke extension in addition to the Live On Youtube that like I mentioned was disabled already.
There was a Youtube update last night, for my surprise and contrary to my Galaxy Tab S, the 1080p settings survived. So even better.
Sadly after Tuesday's update it seems that this is no longer working, just like it happens in my Galaxy Tab S. I've been doing the same steps I've done a lot of times now and what I described above and this time is no longer working, Highest resolution I can choose from now is 720p. Really frustrating...
Hey guys, I have this expensive pico projector that is crashing on Netflix. Basically what is happening is I am downloading the Netflix App, and I am able to install it, login in, and view movie titles. However when I try to watch the movie the movie hangs on “Loading” and just is stuck in loading. It’s not crashing as I can back out of it – it’s just stuck on loading.
I’ve tried MANY different solutions but I haven’t found the right solution. I’m desperate and willing to PAY for a fix right now. Anyone have any ideas?
Here are pictures of the projector, firmware, hanging on logo, etc.:
Sorry for the image quality! These are just cell-phone snapshots.
If anyone has any ideas, please let me know!
I've tested the projector on different Wifi Networks. The speeds I get are not quite desktop speeds, but acceptable for Netflix buffering. One Wifi Network Ookla Speed Tested at 13mb/s!
I really can't figure this out.
