You Tube App not working."Connection to server lost.Touch to retry." - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

As you can see from the topic above,I have a problem with the YT app.Whatever video I play,always the same thing.It shows pictures of videos ,it can show comments and next videos,but it won't play.So I tried to fix it by setting wifi to static,and changing DNS (1 & 2) to four digits (first one to four 8's next one to 8.8.4.4) aaaand it still doesn't work.So of course I triend and cleaning cache and data,reinstalling the app,restarting the phone,nothing,nada.Now I have moto g (2nd gen) 4.4.4 kitkat.Anyone else facing this issue?Anyone else resolved this issue.Any ideas?Please respond,thanks!

I had this issue after restoring my phone through recovery, I had to uninstall the app and then use a root browser to look for remaining files in data and delete them THEN reboot and install the app, worked fine afterward.

I have this with my Tegra Note. Load up the App Info on the Youtube app then uninstall it. This will the remove the Youtube 5.16.4 version and revert it back to stock Youtube. It will work after. The latest Youtube app is really busted.

[Q] adfree app is blocking flash vids on my captivate's browser from cbs.com??

When I go 2 cbs full web site and try to click on video, I get a message saying that this video is being blocked bcuz I have an ad blocker or the video is no longer available. I went 2 my apps & uninstalled adfree & rebooted but still get same message. The app is showing up in tb still, but it is showing up as crossed out cuz I deleted my backups of the app there. Can someone please help that knows anything about adblockers cuz I have no idea what 2 do. Samsung advised me that I should probably master clear my phone, but that would b a pain in my azz.
You will need to down adfree again. Open it up and hit the "revert" button. That will restore your hosts. Then reboot and you will be fine. Even though you deleted the app, it still changed your host files. After you have reverted and rebooted, you can uninstall again.

Thanks jayharper...I did a restore of adfree from TB, then hit the revert button in the app & rebooted & CBS works like a charm! Now do I still have 2 uninstall adfree or can I leave it as is since my flash vids r working on CBS?

Phiremod ....- Video, Netflix, Facebook
Running Phiremod 7 Test 2. Constantly getting "android.process.media has stopped unexpectedly." It interrupts my typing. Comes up every 5 seconds! Also, Facebook, Netflix not working. Plus, video on CBS won't play and says "Video is unavailable or is being blocked by an ad blocker on the browser.' Could REALLY use some help!

Running "fix permissions" from recovery could take care of your force close problem.

Thanks, I had already run Fix Permissions and rebooted. The android.process.media error does seem to have stopped. Any ideas about Facebook or Netflix not operating and force-closing? Thanks again for the reply.

I would "clear data" of both applications (via manage applications), reboot to recovery, wipe cache partition and dalvik cache, then reboot (it will take a while to boot).

Thanks again, but now again android.process.media is popping up every 5 seconds. The 5 icons at the bottom are now + signs. I found a way to change the icons and have them operate for various functions. I will attempt Fix Permissions again for the error popping up. And Netflix and Facebook still don't run. I just flashed to Phiremod 7 two days ago & haven't been able to get them to run. Re-downloaded them but no luck... : (

That's weird. Did you wipe data when flashing?
Sent from the most interesting device in the world.
I did indeed. So, I re-flashed and got the icons and functions back. Still no Facebook, Netflix, but now oddly, YouTube is working. : ) I'll leave well-enough alone. Would love to get online video running and especially Netflix. But thanks for the replies.

That would've been my next suggestion (re-flashing). I'm not sure about Netflix, but I'd expect Facebook to be working. Hm, idk. I've uninstalled mine because it was holding a wakelock longer than I'd prefer.
Sent from the most interesting device in the world.
Hm, I replied to you but don't see the post. I did wipe data when flashing. It was part of the instructions. Anyway, I'll be happy with things as they are for now, but would really like to get video online running and especially Netflix. Thanks again for trying to help.

No problem. Maybe someone else will know how to completely work out your kinks.
Good luck.

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.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
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

If you repair your software with Sony PC Companion, everthing will be fine
Question is what causes it?
From my experiences:
1. Either you delete some root apps from titanium for example. ( Am still trying hit n trial to check which particular root app causing the issue. )
2. If i install Clean Master or any other cache cleaner app then it delete some cache from somewhere its not supposed to after which Chrom Album and all the ****es starts giving FC.
Others please diagnose and share your experiences too when these FCs are getting triggered
I often had this issue. I have rooted Xperia C with all apps moved to SD. I hope the mounting of SD makes the problem.. I tried removing and replacing the SD and restarting the phone few times solved the issue at least for me.

No not technically i restore from google once im back in the phone
I'm experiencing the same problem with my pixel 2 xl. Only have gravitybox and native clipboard modules. Did you ever find a solution?
Try running this line in terminal (su):
Code:
cmd package bg-dexopt-job
If that seems to fix the crashing, try creating a Tasker task that runs it every morning when you're not using the phone, e.g. around 5 or 6 am.
If you're having issues with Facebook Messenger crashing, you'll need to go into the /data/app/com.facebook.orca/oat/art/ folder and delete the base.odex file. Alternatively, you could add the following line in a second task that follows the first:
Code:
rm /data/app/com.facebook.orca*/oat/arm/base.odex
Running those two tasks, in that order, will dexopt all apps as well as delete Messenger's base.odex file should it reappear.
If you have other apps that continue to crash after the dexopt, you could try adding further tasks which delete their corresponding base.odex files after the dexopt process. Just be aware that any apps without a base.odex file will have a much slower initial load time, and that not all apps respond well to having their base.odex file removed. Proceed with caution.
Android's built in maintenance jobs include dexopt, but it's impossible to know precisely when it will execute, hence the task forcing it followed by the task deleting the base.odex file. Also, timing it so that it runs within an hour of waking up and removing the phone from the charger gets it as close as you can to ensuring that your own tasks aren't rendered moot by the system's built in maintenance tasks.
Some people also have luck using the ARTDeoptimizer Xposed module for apps that crash with Xposed installed, but I am not one of those people. It seemed to have no effect and I found I had much better, if not perfect luck just removing the base.odex files myself manually or via Tasker profiles.

Native Clipboard may be your problem. That is one module I had to give up on as it seemed to constantly cause crashes in incompatible apps on Oreo.

spectrum tv app will not run on rooted tf700t

So I have had my tf700t since about Jan and immediately rooted and installed 7.1.2 with custom recovery. installed spectrum tv app and it worked ok. The vid was always a little choppy.
recently the app gives me an error saying it will not work with a rooted device. ugh. I probably use that app more than almost any other as its nice way to check the guide. other than going back to stock what are my options? by the way, I have tried installing the app from the apk directly to the tablet and same issue.
Update: so now the app runs but will not display the video, and present same error message regarding device rooted. I guess I can live with this as I said before, I don;t typically watch shows on my tablet as the video is a little too choppy to watch which is a drag. But at least I can scroll the channel guide
Install an older version of the app and do not update
thanks, I will give it a try. very annoying when trying to navigate the lineup and every station that I select I get the "this app doesn't work if your rooted" pop up.
I use a app called Disable Service cn.wq.disableservice. Disable all background services, wipe cache and it works. This app also is good for disabling apps that force you to update the app. Older apps do work if the app cannot determine that it is outdated.
