Hey guys, I'm noticing choppiness at the beginning of some of my videos. From my observation it seems to only happen to the first video upon starting up the YouTube app after which most of my other videos start playing as they should. I've never experienced this on any other device, and it happens regardless of whether I'm using WiFi or 4G LTE, and I also still have my Nexus 5 for reference.

What version of the YouTube app do you have? Also try running a speed test and lowering the quality accordingly. I'm having no problem viewing 1080p video but that requires at least like a 6mbps connection which I have over lte and WiFi.

YouTube and built in player doesn't work allot the audio plays but not the video does anyone else have this problem. And know how to fix it.
I am having the same issue. The only work around is to do a battery pull... and sometimes that doesn’t work either. I’ve tried factory resets, and they seem to work, but then it starts again. My issue is the video freezes but the audio is ok.
I hope there is a fix for this soon.
Seems to be persistent among all phones from reading the comments on the android Market. By the way try clicking and unclicking the hd button when you go into portrait.

Might not be related but I had this same issuse before. Turned out netflix was the culprit. After watching netflix I could no longer watch any hq videos until the phone is restarted.

All of a sudden YouTube is force closing on me when trying to play some videos.. I've tried clearing the cache and data, I've removed and installed YouTube from the market and from a good known backup..
What gives? Noting has changed that I know of.. It worked fine one hour, the next trying to play the same video it will fc. But it will play some, I guess it's just picky and doesn't like my taste of videos.

Is a common Youtube Mobile today. For exemple for me it FCs when I want to watch a video, all my subscriptions were gone etc. (just on mobile version). And it happened on my 2.3.4 SGSII, on my 4.0.3 Nexus S and on CM7 SGS
So it's an issue with YouTube then? Makes sense because I have an epic doing the same thing but not as bad as the nexus.

i have no issues with youtube..
no force closing and my account subs work fine.
same issue for me with youtube when you select video it crashes...tried on stock and custom rom and problem still exists...so something wrong the app itself
its a problem with YouTube. Its happening to IOS users too. You'll notice your subscriptions may not be showing either.

Cannot get the YouTube app videos nor videos in the browser to stream over 4g. I switched over to 3g and it works fine and same with wifi. My neighbor has the Galaxy Nexus and YouTube over 4g works fine for him. I did a battery pull/sim pull as well as uninstall/reinstall the app. No go. Anyone else?

Reinstall the Rom or flash newer radios

I have the same issue..I have a droid charge also and it plays all the videos I attempt on my bolt without an issue on 4g. Like you say switch to 3g on the bolt and all is well..I've tried all sorts of things and NO BUENO!!

This has happened before and it seems to be a youtube app issue everytime..
+1
The youtube videos load but it takes minutes, that's if they load at all
It works fine on wifi
Also, my friends with Nexus have 0 youtube issues. And the wife's iphone has 0 issues.
More details
What is your ROM version? or YouTube app version? Where is your location? Maybe you should call not only VZW but HTC for help. My friend in NJ works well over 4G.
I am working now as of 2pm today. Wasn't working this morn. Weird.

The YouTube update fixed the slow loading issue.
I knew it wasn't the network because my friends nexus worked without issue.
Thanks everyone

I notice that issue this morning. video wasn't loading switched back to 3g and worked perfectly. not really a big deal for me.
I am also seeing this issue. HD Youtube videos take minutes to load on 4g and seconds to load on 3g and wifi. Non-hd videos work fine on 4g though. I'm seen it on multiple cm7 variants and across multiple radio releases (on the latest leaks now). Can be very frustrating when trying to watch videos or browse youtube
Regardless of the source, this includes even the YOU TUBE app. When I'm watching a video, every few seconds to a minute, the video just pauses. Then I have to hit play again and after a bit same thing.
Anyone have this issue?
My one X is bone stock on 1.85
Have you never watched a video on a slow connection before? Its buffering.

I guess I should have posted this in the OP but it's NOT buffering issue.
I have a 30MB connection at home and a 35+MB LTE connection.
PLUS, i can see on the youtube app that the white line (buffering line) is way ahead of whats being played so it's definitely not buffering.
Does anyone know a fix for youtube on cm based roms im getting bored that i can't watch videos lol thanks

Hmm, am I weird or I don't have that issue? I just watched about 4hrs of YouTube videos (Modern Marvels) but not directly on the phone, just pushed to the TV from the cast thing to my WDTV.
I played a few quick videos on my phone directly too before doing the above and it worked just fine. I do have issues with it on HSPA even though I have 7.5Mbps speeds. Either routing or prepaid carrier slowing down youtube purposely!
