[Q] Youtube App not working

Hi guys,
My Youtube app is not working, i can use the search to find videos, read comments, post comments, but i cannot watch any video, it just dont load the video. Youtube works normaly on the web browser, i tried this in 3 wi-fi spots, none of them worked.
i tried to find something about it, but nothing related to android.
I have a SGS with Froyo 2.2, rooted with superoneclick.
Any ideas?
Thanks (sorry, bad english)

I've heard that i doesn't work on rooted phones, i installed the new market, it should install along with the new market but it didn't. I guess that's due to me being rooted.

set the browser ua to desktop by typing about:useragent in the adress bar. then log into the gmail desktop site. once logged into google go to the web market at market.android.com/movies
the movies will play in the browsers video player at 480p which is the phones native res anyhow, I'm sure this is the same as google video will play it. they are hosted by youtube and I don't see the hq modes on my pc so id guess that's the quality limit.
this way it will play throuh mhl with no problems.
im rooted. the download wouldnt install from the market. it would start and then just stop for no reason. so i installed from apk. it works now, and with the market too. divx movies forward over to play in the samsung player.
Hey there Jack can you send me the apk? PM me and I'll give you my email address. muchas gracias.
thats ok. i put it in my dropbox. http://db.tt/Xya5KUS

Hey Jack thanks for the apk. It installed just fine but when I tried to play a movie I rented from the market (Wedding Crashers Unrated) I got the following error:
Playback not supported on rooted devices (Error 49)
Have you rented a flick from the market and if so were you able to watch it? I'm rooted and running Infused 153. Thanks again man.
Set the browser user agent to desktop, browse to the Android Market website, and launch the movie from there. Think that may work.
nope, i have yet to see anything i would want to rent over netflix.

yep this is how ive been doing it, works just fine.
ok, I'm a complete novice so can someone please tell me how to do this? I'm getting the rooted error 49 too and have no idea how to get the movie to play. I don't know how to open it in the browser either, so I am totally lost. I have a feeling I just wasted 3.99. Lol.

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

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

Hello Fellas,
I spent hours today trying to set up video chat applications in may N8013.
I found and installed 5 different apps from the market, One of them has a video that shows you how to set it up, it last 35 minutes,,,wtf? That's longer than flashing my phone and installing all my apps,,,and the video app is older than the new app and it's sooo confusing.
Is there any way to have FACEBOOK VIDEO CHAT WORKING that doesn't take all day?
Thanks a lot in advance, i hope this thread help other too.

Why can't I upload videos to instagram nor send videos through messenger?

For some odd reason I can't upload videos to instagram nor send videos through messenger. Upload bar goes half way and just stays there, sometimes it will say "upload failed"
I've tried 3 different roms and nothing. my friend can upload to instagram without any issues.
anybody? I really need to upload videos to instagram
Do you REALLY have to, are you running aosp ROMs?
Your instacram app may not be compatible with your roms, maybe it needs to be updated.
