Youtube videos doesn't work anymore


Recommended Posts

Hi there,

I have a problem, a week ago I installed the Youtube app, since the browser can't play youtube videos due to the lack of flash.

In the beginning the youtube app worked great, but since yesterday the youtube app won't load videos any more, every time I try to play a video I get the message: ''There was a problem while playing; Touch to retry" It got my quite concerning because the video-playing has worked before.

Has someone experienced the same problem? And what could be the source of the problem?

I think it's a real shame.

btw I'm running ''Japanese Jellyfish RLS4"

Did you try to reset the phone/clear the youtube app cache?

I did try to clear the youtube app, but no result. I think I just reset the phone the next time I install a new ROM on it :lol:

The RLS4 is very old too, I would consider upgrading to a newer ROM.

Was this issue resolved?

I have the same problem with my Nexus S. Youtube plays OK over 3g but always says 'there was a problem while playing, touch to retry' over wifi.

Its the same with both App and browser version.

Sorry I'm responding so late, but I didn't get it solved, so I Flashed another ROM on it and now it works :P

have the same problem

Blade running JJ9

was working perfectly until yesterday.

HQ videos won't play, you get the first second or so then "touch to rety"

tried clearing app cache.

don't see why it would work one day then stop.

was thinking of upgrading to CM anyway..

What is the version # of your youtube app? You can find it at the main youtube app screen -> menu -> settings -> scroll to bottom.

The newest version is 2.1.6. I'm running this version and don't have any problems, even for huge (1hr+) videos, in HQ or LQ over 3G or WiFi.

yeah 2.1.6

it gets about 5 seconds into any movie then video freezes (with the touch to retry banner over it), audio carries on fine.

i'm on wifi

literally only thing that changed between it working and not working is that i used the youtube app lots!

yes i have cleared data and also tried uninstallaing and reinstalling

only thing that works is turning off HQ mode

i can't upgrade phone to CM7 now because i'm about to go away and need the phone to work.

videos do sometimes play, but not so smooth.

before they were buttery smooth.

maybe something related to a system setting or JJ - can't think what now though!

alright.. working again!

try restarting phone or closing some apps.

probably just the cpu being busy...
