Hi everyone,
I have an Omnia 7 on 7392 (Malaysia) and lately I've been having a problem with streaming YouTube videos from LazyTube, YouTube (lazyworm), SuperTube, EasyTube and RealTube. None of them will playback in HQ, and the clips can't be downloaded either.
There is no problem playing the vids with the official MS YouTube though, I can even stream HQ on WiFi, but the 3rd party apps all fail to do it.
Anyone else having the same problem? Or better yet, a solution? I found another guy on the internet with this problem, but doesn't look like there is a solution. I want to watch Conan O'Brien in HQ

The ironies of life. I've been having this problem since days ago, and I even sent an email to LazyWormApps. They promptly replied with "YouTube is making some changes, we will update our apps soon". But that got me thinking, why isn't the official MS YouTube app affected? I had a similar problem when I unplugged my headset in the midst of playing a video clip and had to reboot the phone. But that didn't work this time around, I contemplated resetting my phone.
And then lo and behold, 10 minutes after I posted this question, my WP7 News app showed that news.

Microsoft's YouTube "app" is just an H.264 plugin for YouTube Mobile site. Google refuse to allow Microsoft to accessing YouTube metameta data which all the other apps uses.
Microsoft said:
Second, in 2010 and again more recently, Google blocked Microsoft’s new Windows Phones from operating properly with YouTube. Google has enabled its own Android phones to access YouTube so that users can search for video categories, find favorites, see ratings, and so forth in the rich user interfaces offered by those phones. It’s done the same thing for the iPhones offered by Apple, which doesn’t offer a competing search service.
Unfortunately, Google has refused to allow Microsoft’s new Windows Phones to access this YouTube metadata in the same way that Android phones and iPhones do. As a result, Microsoft’s YouTube “app” on Windows Phones is basically just a browser displaying YouTube’s mobile Web site, without the rich functionality offered on competing phones. Microsoft is ready to release a high quality YouTube app for Windows Phone. We just need permission to access YouTube in the way that other phones already do, permission Google has refused to provide.

Wow... Google is really being an ass about this then. I'm so glad now they lost the Nortel IP bids.
edit... wait... The outage happened on EXACTLY the same day Google started whining about losing the Nortel patent bids. You don't suppose this is intentional... do you?
SuperTube and LazyTube got an update today that fix it.
even some htc youtube doesn't support some you tube.Needs to dl ms youtube.
This happened because there's no real api to get MP4 files from youtube and I don't think google wants you to either, so you have to download the page then parse the urls out. They changed the format the urls were in.
My guess is that they don't want people to watch youtube videos without their ads, but they have to have MP4 support for other platforms. Pretty sad that they havn't provided the api to get these files/metadata to Microsoft, when Apple and others have.

Hey guys, I wanted to see who all here has picked up a chrome cast and what your thoughts are on it so far?
I really dig it, quick connection and ability to play things with no noticeable degradation or lag. And with HBO Go and Hulu Plus both coming soon it is going to be really nice.
One issue though that I have found is that the previous version of Google Play Movies allowed you to play locally stored videos on your device through the app. With the update to work with Chromecast this option is removed even when trying to do it on your device only so you have to use an external app such as the gallery or MX player etc.
Any word or people working on creating a cracked version of google movies or a work around to allow other apps to chromecast?
Read somewhere that clockworkmod and someone else have done it or are really close. Check Chromecast development
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
Koushik Dutta's Aircast
Koushik Dutta is still working on it. Still in beta and will self destruct after 2 days but it is a amazing start

This may be irrelevant now, and if so I apologize for the waste of time, but I have found that if you open the video files in a Chrome tab, they can be cast that way. At times it can be a little inconvenient, but I think the video/audio is pretty good.
Hi all,
So I just flashed the 4.3 ROM by dreamcwli, and graphical glitches aside it seems to work perfectly - except for Google Play Movies, which is a huge part of what I used my tablet for. Unfortunately movies will not play on it, and will just give me the spinning circle but eventually tell me that "There was a problem while playing." This happens on multiple movies on multiple accounts, but does not happen when I play it via Chromecast. If I try to download the movie and play it, it gives me a similar message with a "-2000" error code at the end. Any tips? Thanks everyone!
Awesome phone so far. I've had it about 2 weeks. This is the first real issue I've had:
When I try to play a video in a Google+ post I get "Can't Play Video". Embedded Youtube videos in Google+ work fine though. When I try to play a video in my Google Photos collection, I'll get "Video not found." and then a few seconds later, "Can't play video." The exception to this is videos that I've recorded with this phone and backed up to Google Photos. Those play fine but the phone can't play any of my older videos.
All the Google+ and Photos videos play fine from my old Android phone and my PC. Any ideas?
So far, I've tried clearing the app data and cache on Google+ and Google Photos. I also tried enabling Nu Player in Developer Options.
Edit: I just tried using Chrome instead of the Google Photos app and the videos played fine. For the Google+ videos, Chrome can't play them, but Firefox can.
I discovered the same "can't play video" issue in G+ videos but YouTube ones play fine - I have reported this numerous times to Google and I also tried switching from awesome player to Nu Player in dev options - the only solution so far I've found is to go to Apps and uninstall G+ updates to the stock version - then they play perfectly again - I assume this is a glitch in the 5.0.2 lollipop version, so hopefully we get 5.1 ota or Marshmallow by Christmas as I've seen rumored, I have the carrier unlocked 6045i which I put my $30 a month Tmobile sim in.
I also noticed there seems to be no Minutes used section under mobile and whereas I can set the date range for billing in mobile data, I can't set the wifi usage date range, haven't tried any root yet as I'm hoping for ota to solve these minor bugs, otherwise love the phone also.
Fixed with today's OTA update!

Hi guys.
Having an issue running OGYouTube and YouTube Vanced in background.
I was initially able to run OGYouTube in background for a period of time before it would randomly close, currently liasing with Huawei support on that one as I believe that is an EMUI issue.
However... Since yesterday I have not been able to play OGYouTube in the background at all.
Decided to remove it, as I really need it to be able to play in background and tried YouTube Vanced instead.
And I'm getting the same issue, every time I try to shut the screen off it pauses the app and won't play again until I manually click play.
So, has YouTube changed something recently to stop these apps playing in the background or am I extremely unlucky?
I've changed all the background and battery settings to no avail.
Hope you guys can help, this is a real deal breaker for me and am seriously considering going to another brand after this contract is over.
Found a bug that sort of fixes this temporarily.
If I am able bug the player out so the video or pip video is black I am now able to play it with the screen off... But once restarting YouTube vanced, it no longer works...
