YouTube force closing (app and browser) - Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The YouTube app has worked fine since I bought my xoom on launch day, and now it force closes everytime. I try going on the browser to watch videos on YouTube and the browser force closes. Any ideas? Btw, my xoom is not rooted.

Edit: A couple reboots fixed it, very weird. Admins, you can delete post if you want.

Youtube force closes with machinima videos?

Anyone know why any video by machinima will automaticly force close? That person posts the very best videos? Can a OP in youtube block youtube apps from viewing?
Is this the youtube app or youtube web that crashes?
If you post a link of a video that's been giving you problems, I'm sure we can test it for you

Only in the youtube app , try and search mortal kombat legacy for example, thx for testing it out to
definitely crashes. I've had this problem the whole time i've had my transformer. It will play in the browser but at no higher than 480p. always crashes the youtube app.
Yea only with videos posted by machinima ? and since broswer flash is so laggy with 720p I have to watch the videos in junk mode. Hope there will be a fix for this
Crashing for me too. How strange! I did notice that when I loaded the web version ,they have a LOT of link annotations at the beginning of their videos... maybe that's crashing the youtube app?

Ran into this issue as well, both in the native app and the stock browser. I found a link from a different user for the same video and it worked fine.
With the youtube app it is very important that you register the google id that your transformer uses with youtube (i.e. set up a new account if it doesn't already have one), Then make sure you are signed in when using the app.

This is my issue as well. Seems like a very specific bug too. I have had FC's on a smattering of other videos, but always on Machinima ones.
Edit: I decided to try the same video on a whim on my Nexus One and it works fine (even in HQ). This is definitely nothing to do with it being mobile, it has something to do with the HC app.
that explains...
...why whenever I go to the subscriptions page it crashes the app.
yup, unsbscribed and the app no longer crashes on subscription screen... browse to machanima and it crashes. wonder what it is about machanima that the android app hates...
You can use the JetVD application from jetvd dot com to watch the video stream from YouTube.

It crashes on all honey comb tablets (galaxy tab, acer, asus, xoom) within the native youtube app
Works flawlessly on the ipad 2 though
Is there a bug report for this somewhere that we can add some weight to? I couldn't work out what the hell was causing the crashes but now I've unsubscribed it works fine. Seems like a really odd bug.
Hopefully it'll get fixed soon as its one of my favourite channels.

has anyone else found any kind of fix for this yet? Machinima is the largest content of videos in my subscription list and I'm finding it increasingly annoying that I can't watch them in the native app.
is there a fix for this?

Try using the latest cm nightly.
it's the rom.... i also had the issue and i still do even with EB 2.3.5 and as well as the cm7 stabled Gb version.... not only with the youtube app but on some of the websites had flash issues where videos were just green lines. so i switched back to EB 2.3.3 stock Gb version. Devs are working as to finding out the problem but still no luck.
I tried the latest nightly 174 and loaded videos instantly this morning.
Will keep trying the Nightly ROMs. Will report back if I encounter the issue again.
Prefer the Youtube app, just faster.
Youtube and G2X usb mount
I am having these two issues first I noticed that phone is no more recognized by windows as usb and now this youtube issue of CM stable 7.1 , I was really liking this CM. If someone is there reading these and can help please help.
thanks
glad to know its not just me and more about the problem
i really hope this gets fixed soon but was it ever stated as an issue before so others could become more aware and hopefully put it in more demand for a fix or something?
Youtube Slow issue found
What I did I uninstalled both adobe flash player and youtube app and using dolphin web browser for youtube. I tried all those videos again through dolphin and got the instant response on my almost 2mega Byte connection. So, I guess I have to live without youtube app.

Well I recently switched from LG Stock Rom to CM7.1 stable on my P990, and have the same issue. I'm glad that its not just me having slow loading of YouTube videos on the phone. Thanks for sharing the information that the nightly build of CM might help solve the issue. How many others have been successful with that build?
I can confirm that recent nightly builds are no longer causing slow loading of videos in YouTube app. I installed CM7.1 #204
I'm happy

YouTube problems

I've been having problems playing YouTube videos on my tablet.
Sometimes it will play with out a catch but then I run into the continuous force closes while trying to load the video up.
Is there a fix or anything I can do?
My tablet is not rooted.

Force close when trying to play any video here, I'm assuming it's a problem on Google's end.
I have been facing this same problem since today.. I was using the youtube app extensively yesterday without any issues. Hopefully they resolve it soon.

I have same issue. Will not play videos that worked fine yesterday. Apparently not a TF issue but a google /you tube issue.
I have the problem with youtube on my asus tf101.
I have the same problem with youtube. I live in the far east of Russia. Yesterday, when trying to play videos on youtube from the asus tf101, I got an error message playback. And today I am forced to dropped the tablet in the factory settings, but nothing has changed and now the application is forced to close when you try to view the video from youtube. Already thinking ins custom rom.
Same problem here. Maybe theyre preparing for ICS? *fingers crossed*
I have the same problem. I didn't know what it was because it started exactly following my changing my YouTube setting to always start HD videos. I thought I broke something on my transformer (I just rooted it last night). It's good to know others are having the same problem.
Mine is down too. It is also not showing in the market either. Anyone checked to see if it is still on their phone?

Same here. No problems on my ics NS4G, but on my stock TF101, youtube is borked.

working fine on my Htc Desire HD,
workaround i find for now is to launch it from your browser (www.youtube.com) or there is a great app for downloading and watching you tube video (tubemate)
thanks

Can't Reinstall
Well, crap. I uninstalled my YouTube App via Titanium Backup, and now I can't reinstall it. I've tried both the .apk, and via Titanium (with each option in Titanium).
I'm rooted and a pro-user with Titanium. Any ideas on how I can get it back on? Can I flash YouTube with CWM?

Karbonn A7 browser auto closes

I am using Karbonn A7 which I bought today only.
It is good in all features but I have one problem.
Whenever I am trying to open a page having a video which is not embedded from youtube, the browser automatically closes.
Let me put it in this way, when I opened dailymotion and clicked on a specific video, the page opened but when the video page fully loaded and I clicked on the video to play, then the browser automatically closed.
I tried in both the stock android browser and also with the Dolphin HD browser.
Can anyone please help me to solve this issue?
Did u download Adobe flash from store..

[Q] [XOOM 2] Updated YouTube app doesn't work

Hello, I recently bought a XOOM 2 Wi-Fi only 16GB 10.1 and updated it to ICS, then after updating the YouTube app the app doesn't even lauch it crashes and asks me if I want to send a report. Is this an known issue? And is there a way to fix it? I can use the app by unninstalling the update and using the version that came with the tablet but I like to have everything updated and the notifications annoy me.
Thanks,
António
Please post all questions in the Q & A section. Thanks! Thread moved.

Same problem here with my Xoom 2 Media Edition 3G, but it also occured with ICS. Since the last Youtube update, the app refuses to open.
Interestingly, when I click a Youtube link in the browser and choose to open it via Youtube app, it does play the video. Then, when I try to go to the Youtube main screen from there, it force closes again.
