The problem is with google, they have shut us off for what ever reason.

Who have they shut off? Aosp? All?

My Xoom is not recognized by the market as a option for the You Tube app. Where as my HTC Evo phone is. I can play youtube on my phone but not on my Xoom. So you do the math.
update: Found this on the Xoom Forum and confirmed working; ......."Had a similar problem on XOOM with ICS EOS version 1.0.0. I ended up going to Settings - Apps - ALL - clicking on the YouTube app and then clearing the cache - clearing data and then force stopping the app."

It's not just a problem with AOSP roms, I'm experiencing it with my stock Xoom on ICS.

I just cleared the cache, the data, and I force closed the YouTube app, and now it is working for me! Try it and see if it works!

Market dead!?

Hi.
Major issues with Market. Nothing downloading. Just the bar and starting download message.
Tried force stop, cache cleaning, reboots. No joy.
Ideas?
After new FB and Twitter apps.

Same problem
Same problem with galaxy s, instaling app for 3 days now . can't stopit.
i've had this issue quite a bit on my incredible. usually cures itself by switching from wifi to 3g or the other way around. whichever you're on right now, try the other one.
Done that Mike. No change.

Go to applications market and uninstall updates.
Works fine here....
No updates to uninstall for the Market. Came as is.
I switched from Dinc to Droid X recently and encountered this problem pretty much out of the box. I believe I ended up clearing cache or data from the Gmail application and then Market downloads started to work correctly.
I just went to update an app that i have and Market Force Closed.
still downloaded ok though
I have a funny feeling this was an all around Android Market issue for many people... I had it too but now it seems to have cleared up...
You could try Titanium backup and the clear data option after tapping the market app.
It worked for me
my fix for this exact same problem (as described in the OP's first post) was to factory reset my phone (galaxy s) and log in using the @googlemail.com extension to my google email address instead of the usual @gmail.com
if that makes sense.. search google for a few other threads floating around with people who solved their market download "stalling" with this fix..
might be worth a try for you anyway.

youtube force closing

My YouTube app suddenly went nuts, I cannot watch any video without a fc. I did clear its defaults before, but I have no idea how to restore it. Can someone help?
Mine too! I didn't bother trying to figure it out yet. It's probably a problem on their end...

Yea, I've done this a few times, doesn't help. I guess at least two other people have fc issues suddenly as well?
Been having same problems.
On my phone and on my tablet.
Apparently its googles fault they updated it and it broke video playback. =/

Crunchyroll?

I haven't been able to watch anything on Crunchyroll since I upgraded to Jelly bean. The app opens but its all empty. I think its related to the lack of flash support.
Has anyone been able to get this working? I tried the Dolphin Browser + Flash trick, but haven't had much luck, I can't get Crunchyroll to play in Dolphin either. It says my version is out of date. But I can use flash on other sites that aren't as picky about versions.
I believe this belongs in the Q&A Board, but here goes:
I tried the app and, though it failed a few times, I was able to retry and get a video to play just fine. In the browser, (I use Boat Browser with Adobe flash installed as well) the video froze loading on the mobile site, but when I changed my UA to Desktop, it worked flawlessly. Hope this helps!
I use this app to watch my anime. No issues getting to play any episodes. No problems on browser as well (stock).
I also use this method to get flash working on certain sites that are a bit anal about flash like Hulu and ESPN.com

i reinstalled my app as well. Still shows the top menu bar, but nothing in the middle. Are both of you using the Asus build (not CM10 or another JB build)? Any strange modifications?
I can play other flash sites, just not Crunchyroll. ugh.

For me I'm straight stock rooted and locked. Only modification is from the flash player.

Playing around with the crunchyroll app I have found that if ur transformer is docked in then the app will be blank when launched but if you remove the app from the dock and put in portrait and then run the app it works fine.It seems the app will only work in portrait when navigating the app but when docked the tablet is forced into landscape so it fails to load since a landscape UI was not set for the app.

[Youtube] There was a problem while playing. Touch to Retry

Hello.
I've been having an issue with Youtube. It gives me this error with the app and the website doesn't work. Any advice?
Here are my specs
- Phone: HTC One V PrimoC
Carrier: Virgin Mobile USA
Rom: Paranoid Android 2.99 Beta
Kernel: Supersick 1-21-13
Do you have an actual data connection going? (that may be WiFi or a GSM/CDMA data connection)
Can you load other websites, and use apps for online services like Facebook & Twitter?
CDMA and everything loads fine. Wifi and 3g work.

You could try to clear the data of the YouTube application:
Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> Youtube -> Force Stop -> Clear Data
Other than that, do other applications that stream video work?
Hello had this issues before an hour and deleting and reinstalling youtube helped
clean also the catch to be sure.
if i helped hit thanks

Fix
For me nothing worked until this:
For youtube tried to clean data restart and so on, till I uninstalled update and now it works. I think they try to implement something so you can't watch from other country as my phone think I'm from US but I'm in Europe or they made really poor app.
Crappy version: 5.1.10
My version: 4.4.11

I accidentally blocked the Android media server with a firewall, re-enabling it solved the problem. Using the newest version of the YT app.

I know this is an old thread but it comes up top on Google and the bug apparently affects MM on newer Sony devices so a solution is helpful.

Do you have background data restricted for this app? If that's not the case, it may have something to do with the app itself, I don't have this issue. Did this happen recently (ie worked fine until I installed/flashed ______)?
Nope, it happens on my Nexus 7 tablet too.

I just checked both on data/wifi and it works fine for me, no message. Have you tried to wipe data/cache for the app or try to uninstall the updates back to factory then reinstall? Also try with the Xposed activated or modules as well. See if that's influencing it.
having the same problem here and I'm on 2.3.4 xperia play so not a specific version problem , but the thing I noticed is that we both have a google and a youtube account , perhaps the youtube app get confused and don't save its data , I didn't have this problem in earlier version of youtube though -_- , (all xposed modules disabled too)
Help I don't think I have the same problem because it says there was an error while playing tap to try again
