Hello,
in the youtube app i can't watch videos.
Error message is : Unable to connect to server Touch to retry
Downloading the videos works though and in the dolphin browser they play too
i am on CM7 - any ideas how to fix this?
thanks for any help
Hello again,
i tried with JackpotClavin's latest ICS ROM and youtube
app is working there if u choose SD versions of video.
Seems to be an issue with CM7 then?
The YouTube app on CM7 with the stock kernel works perfectly for me, and it has for a pretty good while as well, so I don't think it's CM7's fault, or a version issue. Maybe you should try reflashing gapps (is youtube included among those)? Or clearing the app's data/cache on the app management settings menu, then try watching a video again.
Some other questions that might help: Is your internet connection definitely not the issue? Can you play any other streaming content available on the web reliably?
Good luck!
it's working now! had to allow some more processes in
droidwall (media server, google stuff)
by the way it is not part of the gapps it has to be downloaded
from the android market
thanks for the help!

So when using Playon Mobile app, I get a ton of audio sync issues no matter what type of video I watch.
PlayOn uses Flash which I have installed and uninstalled a couple of times. When I do a search for the error I see people saying Flash 10.3 is not supported on the Transformer (although why it installs if it is not supported is beyond me ;P).
I have a pending tech support request in with PlayOn but figured if anyone knows if solution to this issue exists, it would be people on THIS forum.
Thanks in advance!
EDIT : Oops...some extra info I am not sure if it is needed.
- Stock not rooted (3.2)
- B60 tablet version
- WiFi for streaming (25mb FIOS)
Ask if anyone needs more info.
Just thought I would update my own post with what a PlayOn rep emailed me today.
The video and audio are played by the Adobe Flash Player 10.3 app. In
other words, your PS3 is playing the video and audio correctly as it is
streamed, but the Adobe Flash app is failing to do that.
The audio/video syncing issue is very common on Honeycomb devices. It's
pretty common for android in general. When it happens you have to
completely remove the Adobe Flash Player 10.3 app, reboot the tablet,
and then reinstall the app from the Android Market. That should reset a
now correctly installed Adobe Flash app.
Once you have followed that process, try a video again. If it still
plays poorly then try playing a video in your browser through the web
app (m.playon.tv) to see if your tablet is handling Flash differently.
Please let us know if you have any questions.
Thank you for contacting PlayOn Support.

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,
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 have a problem with facebook app for android since I recently updated it to the latest version which is version 6.0.0.28.28
My problem was whenever I play a video a video, the video will be played by facebook built in video player. Supposedly before update, I was able to choose a 3rd party video player to play it. I always choose MX Player to play facebook videos because there's a lot of options to choose like H/W or S/W and video scaling.
Is there a work around to disable facebook built in video player.? I have tried to clear defaults but still doesn't work.
If anyone here has a copy of the facebook apk version 4.0.0.26.3 I would like to ask a copy of it. I think this is not a violation for warez because facebook is free to download in play store. I just needed that specific version because that works perfectly on my phone.
Is there a way or an app that can automatically backup an app in android before updating.? Hope you'll share your ideas here.
Thanks for taking time to read this.
Use facebook 8.0.0.0.23 dev version. It is not only the latest version but also supports the feature you said.
Use ES File Explorer to back up apps manually before upgrading.
I have uploaded app called System Optimizer apk that can backup apps before updating but it comes with its own market.
Good Luck!

Use klyph pro it is best, or simply use facebook in firefox browser(download from playstore) I ue only in firefox browser and it has some extra features than facebook apps
About 50% of the time this(see screenshot) is what I get when I use the Google youtube app. I can use another app like viral at the same time and play the same video and it always works. So the issue has to be with the youtube app. Any suggestions what I can do to resolve this? It makes the youtube app unusable most of the time.
I already tried it on different networks, clearing data/cache on the app, reinstalling, restarting, relogging. ..
Am I really the only one with this issue?
No you arent. Due to latest cm11 sources yt APP doesnt work with its latest version. Downgrade to 5.1.10 and it works fine
Had that same error also..i just installed older version of youtube app..
