Mine plays fine just watched a few videos in HQ on cellular data, and tried on wi-fi no issues here...
using ultimate 2.2 rom
This really pisses me off. I watch YouTube like all the time. I have a G2 and that has no problems.
G2x just has issues and this YouTube debacle is like the final insult. Browser has stopped forced close on 174 but was forced to stop browser. Its is only two.issues affecting cm 2.3.7
Switched back to nightlies
also Netflix stopped working so went to a backup. No video just audio
miui is a cyan base rom
and the browser version works ok but the youtube app is giving loading issues
so y u just open youtube from browser?easy and same as youtube app
or u can uncheck option that force u to use mobile site
so u can open youtube as desktop site
much better really couse u have all feature of desktop site
full screen
like comments while watching
playlist etc
Yeah my YouTube app takes way to long to load. The browser works fine for me though

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

Had a couple of questions on the Youtube HD playback issues.
1) There is a lag in playing Youtube HD videos in both the app and the browser using Flash. Flash 10.2 with HC 3.1 claims to fix the browser playback issue. Does the Youtube app also use Flash for playback ? Does HC 3.1 fix the app playback issue also ?
2) The YT app has an option called HQ, but doesn't specify if its 480 or 720p. Any idea what resolution it plays the video under HQ option ?
Any takers on this
I like better the mobile site version of YouTube and it plays videos a lot better than the full desktop site version.
Both have lagged for me (the app and the mobile site). I'm pretty sure the YouTube app works without flash installed, so not sure how a flash update will fix it.
I'm going to download the latest Flash when it's released (10.3) and try it out.

That's interesting to me at least. The CNN app plays videos in full screen without lag or chopping frames, while the native Youtube app does lag and they both don't use flash. This makes me skeptical, if 3.1 would fix the issue with the playback lag in the app.

Not really, performance wise. We need honeycomb 3.1 and flash with hardware acceleration!

That's right, the 10.3 can be installed on 3.0.1, but the hardware acceleration stuff is for 3.1+
The other things this update have are security fixes for 3.0+
The 10.3 update seems to pretty much fix my Youtube lag problems. And a lot of the update might be for 3.1, but the release notes indicate it enables hardware acceleration by default on 3.0+ devices. So it should have helped you guys.
Strangely, the choppy playback in the app seems to be a non-issue on the Xoom, even on 3.0.1. So, makes me think what the issue could be on the Transformer
after updating to 10.3 my web flash seems smoother... even at 720p its definately watchable and seems decent... the app seems to still be a bit choppy... maybe not as bad (hard to say)...
Don't know if this has been mentioned yet as a workaround for the youtube app stuttering but it worked for me.
Install Dolphin HD and set the user agent to iPad.
Then when you touch play on a youtube vid choose Dolphin HD again if you get the app menu. DON'T CHOOSE THE YOUTUBE APP.
Dolphin should then load the default media player app and play the mp4 stream off of youtube instead of using Flash. Most HD vids were a lot smoother for me.

Tried this and doesn't work for me. Problem still exists
I'm working on a review of the Transformer and I emailed my ASUS PR rep.. speaking of Youtube, I asked him about this and his response was:
As for 720P+ fullscreen playback in Flash, this will be fixed in 3.1 as it will allow Hardware Acceleration for Flash, so for once Adobe is waiting on the OS guys to implement something first.

Yes, that would fix the flash playback issue. But, how about the playback lag in the Youtube app ? Does 3.1 fix it too ?

OK I returned my TF at PC Richards today and got a replacement. The speaker volume out of sync is gone in the new piece. The Youtube app playback is also much better in full screen, although it still lags for some videos. Also updated to the firmware .9 and things seem to be smoother. The audio fidelity also seems to have improved surely in this new piece. I'm more happy now
Using Hellfire ics, stock browser and dolphin do not let me play flash videos for some reason, I can hear audio, though.
Boat browser lets me play flash but keeps crashing whenever I rotate the screen.

Okay well get Google chrome and rotate the screen prior to starting the video and you should be fine

I've noticed this problem in Opera too.
If you are using YouTube, you must play in high quality, otherwise the video playback won't work properly.
Kind of inconvenient, but ics is still new for us.

Could be worse... you could have to watch in regular quality all the time lol

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.
hey. i have a samsung spica, not rooted and 2.1. youtube doesn't load videos even with wi-fi. only says loading video... and wait there forever. i've reflashed rom, installed other versions of youtube for eclair, but nothing fixed my problem. is there anyone who can help me? i'm about to go crazy -.-
It seems like youtube app is the problem. I suppose you can watch youtube videos with the browser. I also used youtube app but was disappointed, right now I'm using TubeMate and it works just fine. You could try it and see if it works for you.
I had similar problem where videos wouldn't play yet the app let me search.
I used titanium backup to uninstall the app. Rebooted then reinstalled it and it worked again.

Hello everyone.
I've been using CM for a while and I am aware of one bug which annoys me the most. When I try to watch streamed content in e.g. google chrome, MX player (hardware decoding) video stops playing after some time (10-90sec), then after few more seconds it starts playing sound but image remains frozen. I've already tried disabling NuPlayer, updating WebView, full wipe, re-flashing, using nightlies, but unfortunately nothing works. This bug appears on CM 12s and also on every nightly builds. It seems like a problem with buffer, because when video starts playing sound (with frozen image) video timer moves back few minutes/seconds.
It doesn't happen when using software decoding e.g. MX Player S/W, VLC or youtube app.
Is there any way to fix it?

Thanks in advance for response.
No fix as of yet. This is the reason why I'm back on CM11s. I can't take this bug anymore. I sure as hell hope @cyanogen aren't proud of this update.

I don't have an issue streaming any kind of content using Google Chrome, Lightning Browser etc. If there is an app that does behave funky, its Instagram. After two loops, it begins to stutter and freeze etc. This bug has been there since Kit Kat however

Try to watch 1080p or 720p video in chrome that is longer than 3 minutes, you'll see what I'm talking about.

If there's no fix yet, maybe there's some way to force other apps to use e.g. MX player/VLC for streamed content?

Does it with me, but Chrome only. I used Firefox and the long loading times aren't there.

Because Firefox uses there own built-in video. Chrome isn't the issue, its CM12 in general. I'm back on CM11s because of this crap and videos work perfectly in chrome now.

This bug is driving me crazy.. Is there any rom that doesn't have this problem?
Yep, stock cm11s is fine. And anything on lollipop that's not built from CM sources seems to work fine like Oxygen for example. Oh and the 12.1 nightlies have it, but much more usable than CMOS12 junk

I would like to have android 5.x because I've got used to it already, also I've heard that OxygenOS is even worse.
Here's the list of missing features and the list of bugs in OxygenOS: https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/oxygen-os-issues-thread.289981/
The question is if there's some other ROM based on Lollipop except the OxygenOS and based on CM12.
P.S. I really hate myself for deleting CM11s backup..
I used oxygen for a bit and actually thought it was excellent. No video playback bug I found there. The only reason why I can't stick with oxygen is 1. No privacy guard and 2. Camera sucks with no raw capture. Otherwise it was great.
CM12 itself is great, but the video playback bug for me is a nasty deal-breaker. CM12.1 nightlies (currently using the latest) are fantastic and the video playback bug is there but not nearly as bad as CM12. I can deal with it on nightlies.
CM11s I think is pretty much just perfect all round rom. Everything for me work as it should. I bounce between 11s and nightlies.
That's all I can offer you for help man.
