Youtube App does not work on Nexus One

The Youtube Apps stopped working on my Nexus One. I have the stock rom. I ask my friend to test his and his does not work either. He is using Cyanogen mod 5.0.5. Is anyone else having a problem using the Youtube App? Is there a fix for this? Thanks.

Works fine here.

Think you could be a little more specific about the issue? Saying it doesn't work doesn't tell us anything at all.

Sorry about that. When I try to view a video with the youtube app it opens, but nothings plays in the beginning. Sometimes the audio plays, but you see no video. If you skip forward, you will see the video stopped and the audio continues to play. I sometimes receive the error message: "Sorry, this video is not available". I have tried this using wifi and 3G with the same result. This also happens to videos I used to be able to play using the browser. Everything worked fine about a week ago. It seemed to just stop working all of a sudden.

Fine here (UK) on Wifi and as a bonus I just watched the chatroulette piano guy that was featured and it is brilliant so thanks for getting me to test so I could see that

in my experience, that happens when the video isn't formated (or format isn't available) for mobile screen/in mobile format/whatever.
nothing is wrong with the youtube app itself.

My problem with the YouTube app is that it often takes 'forever' to start playing the video! In fact, sometimes it will never start.
Somewhat embarassing when my wife's iPhone 3G can get to the same video and play it immediatly....

Have you tried watching in High Quality instead?
I have the same problem but in a different app, Tubedroid where downloaded videos can't be seen even though I can hear it. Turns out I can't download videos in HD, only high quality.

I hate this also. I pretty much gave up on YouTube which is crazy because you would think Google would support their own software the best.

Yeah, on stock youtube takes foorrrrrever to load up a video, even on a wifi connection. Oddly enough, the version that comes with Modaco's Desire ROM loads 'em up right fast. Weird.

Napster and Slacker Radio Streaming Issues

Hello fellow posters,
I am having a very strange problem that shows its ugly head with Napster and Slacker Radio. The song will play for exactly 12 seconds and then stop. The song will then resume again several seconds later. The rest of the song plays fine from that point forward. I find it strange that it happens on both apps at the same exact time (12 seconds). MOG doesn't seem to have this issue.
I have a 4G signal with at least 3 bars when the issue happens. The problem doesn't occur is streaming from WIFI.
Is anybody else having problems with these apps with their G2X?
Thanks for your time,
Lance

I have the same problem. I was running the gingerbread leak thought it was that. So I'm back on stock same problem.

Napster and Slacker Radio
Does anybody have ideas on how to resolve the issue (song stops playing after seconds almost every time. The song then starts playing again after several seconds).
Is it a phone issue since it happens on both Slacker Radio and Napster? Any setting changes that can be done?
Thanks,
Lance

I haven't tried napster, but for slacker, try version 2.1.191. I loaded it with titanium backup. The last couple versions suck, and apparently not just on our phones/roms. The market comments are BAD. lol...
Not sure how to locate it if you don't have a backup. I'll see about getting the apk somewhere.. It was free on the market, so I can't see how it would be "piracy"...

I have the same problem with Slacker, so it's unusable on my G2x. If this isn't fixed sometime soon, I'll be canceling my paid Slacker account.

slacker updated again today. so far so good streaming over 3g

I had to turn on High quality mode in the settings menu, then the song would cache all the way in 3g. If it's in normal quality, they song doesn't cache all the way and will occasionally skip. Wifi works normally.
I've also disabled the local stream manger in slacker as well. Not sure if that has done anything

I tried again with the latest version and disabling the "local media server" option. Already had high quality enabled.
It actually plays music now. Thanks for the tip. Now if we could get music apps not to stutter when the cpu gets used... Sigh. A dual core should NEVER stutter music when multitasking.

Yes it what the "local Media server" not "local stream manager" . Sorry about that; I didn't have my phone on me.
Glad you're working. Not even sure what that feature does.

i deleted slacker. the damn app wants to run for so many actions. check it out using an app like autostarts. it starts running for a ton of different actions,things that don't even make sense.
winamp is almost as bad,but tolerable.

I disabled Local Media Server too (never noticed that option before), and it seems to be working properly for me too. Thanks everyone!

I have Napster and I have the SAME EXACT problem. The only way I got around it was to download the playlists so it wouldn't skip. It's extremely annoying. I've already informed LG about the issue a month or so ago. Its only on Napster tho. Not Rhapsody or Pandora.

This apparently just showed up with the last update (yesterday or today) and fixed my streaming issues in slacker too (only had time for a quick test though)

Google Music app pausing randomly

I have a problem with my phone randomly pausing the music. This is while using Google's Music app, and I can't seem to find any correlation. At first I thought it was after a certain amount of time (seemed to typically be 45 minutes of music playing) but today while I was running it paused 5 times in 2 hours, at various intervals.
Has anybody experienced this before?

yes. most likely its your connection, when im out it will pause. if im somewhere connected to a router it works with no problem

I searched for Google music app in the market, is this an apk I need to download or something as I'm not in the USA ? Or when you guys are saying google music do you mean the vanilla Android player ?

nah its basically an newer polished version of it.
i also has a cloud music option that i use all the time. my only gripe is that it messed up all my album art for some reason that i had in itunes.
Otherwise it works like a charm on Edge, 3G, and 4G
as far as i can remember its still in beta and was only available in the us market. i'm sure you can find the apk. around here somewhere

I've just confirmed today that it also pauses while listening to the Google Listen app. This time it happened after 1 hour (almost exactly) of listening to podcasts. And of course this was MP3s that were already downloaded, so it couldn't have been a connection problem.
Is this a bug in the Sensation software? I imagine if it was other people would be having this come up.

This happens to me all the time on my Bionic. I use both Google Listen and Google Music (all downloaded content). It's so infuriating. I just want to listen to music/podcasts without it pausing randomly.

Not that this helps, but I've noticed the same thing, with both Google Music and Listen, on both my Nexus One and Galaxy Tab 10.1. I don't get it; Bluetooth is turned off so there's no AVRCP or hardware pause button or anything like that...

Google Play Movies

Not sure if anyone else is having this problem, but Google Play Movies is having an audio/video issue: the audio will drop out for several seconds (the video keeps playing) and then the audio will kick back in. This cycle repeats throughout playback.
If I watch a movie from Chrome on the device, it plays fine. I've also noticed this same issue with the Flixster video app, but the Vudu app seems to work fine.
I have the DAV-703L model (non-root) with the latest 026 update. I actually have 2 of these phones (one gold and one silver) and I can reproduce this on both phones.
Anyone else experiencing this?
UPDATE:
Solved the issue by going into Developer options and disabling NuPlayer in favor of AwesomePlayer.

[Completed] Nexus 10 Freezes then crashes frequently when using YouTube app

Watching youtube frequently makes the tablet Freeze and restart itself. The tablet (running andriod 5.1.1) only has this problem with YouTube. And apps like heartstone runs just fine. Ive tried swapping back and forth with nuplayer, clearing cache and restarting the app but it has the same problem. Worth noticing is IF i uninstall all uppdates the YouTube app has, the tablet seems to work just fine. However i lose out on being able to download videos to later watch offline and so forth. Any suggestions or answers to what might help me fix this problem?

Hi,
Thanks for using XDA Assist.
It seems that this bug is caused by YouTube itself as explained here.
