Can't play Facebook videos - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi.
when I'm trying to play a video in facebook, I get an error message from facebook that the video cannot be played.
I can play videos on youtube and other applications. The issue is only with facebook.
I tried the beta versions, I tried older versions. I deleted cache and reinstalled... nothing helps.
Is it a known issue?
does anyone have an idea how to fix it?

Are you using cm11s or a lollipop custom ROM?
If lollipop, enable or disable nu player in developer settings

I'm using lollipop. I disabled it when I first installed lollipop. I'll enable it and hope it will fix it. thank you!

It should fix the problem when u enable it

Youtube crashing

Is anyone else having a problem with Youtube crashing numerous time while watching videos? Is there any fix?
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T using xda app-developers app
Haven't had that problem. Have you tried watching multiple different videos, or are you trying a specific video?
Did you today's update or have it set to automatically install? I've yet to have any problems with youtube. Haven't installed this new update yet either
It does it with many different videos and yes ive updated my tf700
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T using xda app-developers app
I've installed the newest update and youtube app doesn't even start... When I try to start it I always receive a error message and asks if I want to send a report.
If I uninstall the updates it works perfectly.
Anyone had the same problem? How did you resolve it?
Thanks for the help.
same problem. Crashing
Same here.
I think that is a incompatibility between youtube and some transformer devices 'cause in google play i dont see bad feedbacks about this new update.
My trasnformer is in Portuguese and yours?
tried a cold boot?

I haven't had any issues on ICS .26, ICS .30 and now JB. Did you apply any customization to your ROM (disable/freeze/remove)?

I usually use English (US), but I just tested in Dutch and it has no issues.
Yes, I have tried a cold boot and did not do any customization to the stock rom.
My transformer is also in Portuguese.
Does anyone have more ideas?

Try this:
- go to Settings/Apps
- select YouTube (I have version 4.1.23 which is the latest version according to Play Store)
- select Uninstall updates
- select Clear data
- select Clear cache
- start YouTube

I've tried that and it works, the problem is when I install the update even if I clear the cache and data it crashes on launch.

I've finally discovered the problem in our case.
To do this I installed the latest update available and confirmed that youtube would crash on application launch, then tried to follow a link directly to a video which worked perfectly after that I pressed the shortcut to go to the main screen on youtube and the application crashed immediately.
Just to be sure the problem was the main screen on youtube with the portuguese language, I changed android language to english and after launching to the youtube main screen the problem didn't appear and everything worked perfectly.
It's very strange that the problem is on the main screen of one language and works well with others.
Scumbag google!!
Trying to screw off the portuguese people...more than we already are

For sure, one bad news never comes alone.
Regardless, I already opened a discussion on youtube development forum:
https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!category-topic/youtube/android/lTH5Ku9ifRY
Hi Portuguese brothers,
anybody found a solution for this issue?
Nope, I still am on the old version waiting for an update....
I have a solution!
After seeing that it was possible to open the app from a link I tried and it worked, however the mais page was still broken. I then went to the settings and modified the preference to prefer videos from a specific location. On the list isn't listed Portugal so I choose USA and now it works fine.
I have the same problem with my TF700, if i just start the youtube app, it crashes, but if i start youtube from a mail for example (link to a youtube video) it works fine. If i go back to the front page after watching the video, it crashes.
I will try one of the solutions posted here (change language etc)
My language is Norwegian!
Youtube app was updated yesterday, no more crashes!

Nexus 5 & whatsapp issue

Hi,
I recently got my Nexus 5 and tried to activate whatsapp in the device.
I'm able to install the app, but when I type my number and click "OK", I'm getting an error message saying that
"Unable to connect. Please check that you are connected to the internet and try again. Please reboot your phone if your connection problem persists"
I tried rebooting the device multiple times, uninstalled and installed the app and also tried installing the app from the whatapp site, but the issue still exists.
I tried sending the SMS to my own number thru Hangouts and i'm able to receive it successfully.
Please let me know if there is anything that I'm missing here. or let me know any other troubleshooting steps.
Thanks in Advance!

No worry mate..
do this.
Uninstall the whatsapp and install it from play store, DONT OPEN the app.
tether your friends data(internet)and then open the app and do the settings.
This happens due to bad signal or poor internet connection. I faced the same issue.
Press thanks if I helped you.

Whatsapp isn't broken anymore on ART. You have to uinstall it first and install it fresh from the store.

This problem only occurs for whatsapp ? that's strange..
yep strange, have over 80 apps installed and whatsapp is the only one witg art issue

It's because you turn on the developer option
The format is solution for your problem
اللهم صلِ على محمد و آل محمد
anyone want to use art and whatsapp, try purity rom. whatsapp works with art enabled, even all my apps that previously didn't work now working great. (md.emu, snes9x)
authentication done, but...
Now the whatsapp login issue is fixed on my Nexus 5,
I used my friends 3G as hotspot and was able to perform authentication.
But still(on 2G), I'm not able to send or receive any chats.
Any feasible solution for this?
It must be your carrier blocking it? Because it works fine on 2g here, I just checked.
Can u tell me how to send mp3 files or songs on watsapp through nexus5

I dropped Dolphin ages ago because it stopped supporting Flash player. Are you say that they re-instated this support?
The only browser I know of that supports flash is Boat but now I'm wondering.

Youtube Problem

Hello! I am on pure Kitkat 4.4.2 with franco.kernel r34 and have installed some mods via Xposed Installer. Problem is that my Youtube app doesnt work. Everytime I try to start Youtube app, it gives me an error "Unfortunately, Youtube has stopped". This is exactly the same problem I am facing in my Nexus 10 with the same ver of Kitkat and Franco Kernel and mods. I have tried uninstalling Youtube via Titanium Backup and reinstalling a fresh copy from Play but the problem is still there.
Now is this a problem with the Kernel or have I messed up something else. Please help.
It's not you, it's them. The YouTube app has been wonking out for a few weeks.
