I had been on Bionix for quite a while when this first happened.
I, was playing a youtube video it said "video playback failed. Touch to retry." It never worked so I restarted the phone, and then it finally worked..... for a while.
I started noticing that when this happened (inevitably after a certain amount of uptime) my videos stores locally would stop playing as well, and so would my mp3's. A reboot would always fix it, but it certainly is annoying).
Fast forward to today, I'm running Trigger, and I'm still getting the same problem. I did fix permissions, I wiped the youtube cache, I wiped the dalvik cache, I did factory reset, but I cannot get media to work consistently.
Does anyone have an idea on how to fix this?
I should probably disclose that I use titanium backup to restore missing apps with data only, but never any system apps.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, as this issue has me stumped!
(ps.: playback of videos directly within youtube.com also does not work either, and not because of the (this video is not available on mobile error either, but due to this all encompassing issue, I think).

This happens to me the other day and all I did was a reboot and it started working again.

I know what you're saying, it does indeed work after a reboot, but after a certain amount of time, it stops working again, and once again it needs to reboot.
It is kind of annoying, and I wish I could figure it out once and for all.
Hopeless bump.
Can anyone shed some light on this issue? Playback keeps getting broken.
I have this issues aswell. Is there for fix for Bionix V 1.3.1 or any TW roms. My youtube app is broken and its driving me crazy!
if you have the official twitter client installed, then get rid of it. I had the same problem, and read another post about this. The problem never happened again for me after I uninstalled the twitter client.

How do you know for sure that this is the issue. I will try it anyways since nothing else seems to fix this annoying issue.
So far this is working. Been 3 hours without videos on youtube not playing. Usually I have to reboot the phone every 30mins for youtube to work again. Will test this theory....
Why would twitter not fix this flaw in the apps programming?

How can I be sure? I don't. Like I said in the earlier post, I am just relaying the info from another post I read. It also fixed it for me. I don't need rebooting my phone anymore because media doesn't play.
That's why I just stopped flashing up to bionix 1.3. Tried 1.3.1 with some flaws noticed. Went back to 1.3 for 2 months already no hiccups or whatsoever. Running on kb5modem, overstock 2.4.1 kernel, splash of colors 4.1. Some minor system apps were pushed. Modded boot animations and shutdown too. Quads at 1900, 2003 at highest. Gps at 5secs lock with 8meters accuracy. Snappy fast blazing bionix.

Ever since I installed Bionix v1.3.1 my phone randomly stops being able to play music. It happens every 2 hours or so. I've tried different music players and they all have the error above. The only thing that fixes it is a reboot. This works but takes so long, and I usually go to play music in the car and all of a sudden its broken again.
And its all my music not just certain files. System sounds still work tho, so its something with the internal storage because I don't even use the external sd. I've been trying to find an app or something that can remount the internal storage and not the Ext. SD.
Yes, i've also tried different roms, like Loki, Trigger and others. The other day I ODIN'ed back to JFD and rooted and started all over but the problem persists. I've noticed some other people asking questions about this but nobody has a definite answer besides reboot. We shouldn't have to reboot to listen to music every so often. Some people said unplugging your usb cord without unmounting can cause that, but I've tested it both ways and still the issue comes up. Anybody with some know how or some devs willing to input? Thanks. Running the latest Trigger at the moment if that matters.

Never experienced any of this. What music players are you using and what format is your music in?
Yeah this used to happen to me until on day it just stopped working and now it plays one song and freezes.

They're all mp3's and I used the stock player, the MIUI player, mixzing, mort player and poweramp too.
Have you tried changing back to stock rom? Or maybe trying other formats? Cuz I have no clue... =P Sorry
Delete the twitter app. Mine was doing the samething, now its fixed after deleting the twitter app
Twitter doesn't cause the problem. I've had it installed for months.
I'm having the same issue, but I'm on the stock 2.2 and rooted. There's been other lingering issues as well, like wifi not reliably connecting, the system thinking it's in debug mode with just a car charger attached, and other things that are irritating, but nothing major like that.
I've found something else interesting about this.
The YouTube player also fails to load any videos when this happens - I get the "there was an error while playing - touch to retry" message.
The music player will also still play .wav files just fine - which may explain why the system sounds still work.
I'm guessing that the youtube app and MP3s share a codec somehow, and something is failing to work properly. Beyond that, I know little else.
Yes, I noticed youtube too..I found a pretty quick work around. Download Hot Reboot from the market. You just push the hot reboot button on the widget and restarts the whole system without rebooting the actual phone. Once you push it, it shows you the android boot screen for a couple seconds and then back to your home screen and the sounds work again. So weird. I can't wait until we have a good 2.3 version working, because out of all the gingerbread roms I tested the issue was non existent. Good luck Everyone.
Trust me on this.. you can check my other posts on this same issue... I started getting this same error out of nowhere and it happened all the time... someone said delete the official twitter app. I did and it has not happened since.
I have been using plume.
And I don't care about these people who say twitter is not the cause. When there is an issue and changing or removing one thing solves that issue... then that one thing was the problem.
That was DEFINITELY the problem..Uninstalled twitter yesterday when you posted that and I haven't had the issue since. You sir are awesome. By the way, how did you find out twitter was the cause?
Confirmed fixed by uninstalling the Twitter App
That definitely fixed it for me. All my music started playing fine right after the uninstall finished.
thanks!
I'm reporting the bug.

I realized that the music errors were almost insync with when i would check my twitter.... or at least I just felt it was, ha. then searching through the interwebs someone else said they were having problems and they thought it was related to twitter so i said screw it and deleted my twitter app and the problem went away.

I have the same problem.
I've uninstalled twitter but the problem still exists. So I guess twitter was not the main or only cause.
Are the files you're tyring to play acc or mp3?

I'm having the same issue with the of mp3 files that I know work but my music player saying "unsupported file".
And yes a reboot does get me where I can play the media file. Also this issue not only stops local mp3's from playing but also youtube wont play a clip, short video clips wont play thru the browser option, I can have ever choose "internet" and the file downloads to my phone (feels almost like I'm back on winmobile 6.5).
I do have the Offical Twitter installed on my Cappy, but as of this posting, I;ve unsinstalled Twitter and when with another app. I will post back tommorow is my phone does the same thing again now that Twitter is removed.
Much Thanks....
{Edit}...I must say that my phone actually feels more responsive since removing Offical Twitter for Plume but Plumes Widget is not that great all the app looks nice, its been 4 hrs and music still plays from default music player.
I was skeptical about this solution, but I tried deleting the Twitter app anyhow. It completely solved the problem. Bravo to whomever figured this one out.

Do a full wipe. Data, cache, and dalvic. Check the md5 on the rom. Reflash. It's easier then trying to track down the bug.
I am having the same problem, and its driving me crazy. On BAMF 2.0.5 or 2.1, no problems, anything else and phone force closes on every call. Ive changed radios, stopped syncs, removed programs. Would really like some help to figure out what it is...
Have you tried aligning applications and fixing permissions. I was having similar problems and after doing those two things I realized my problems had disappeared. I'm thinking there's other issues there, but might as well take a shot at it.
I have tried, but i think i just figured it out. I removed twitter but didnt unsync the htc sense twitter. The force closing (now that I think about it) doesnt happen all the time, it just seems like it because its only when my wife calls me.
I unlinked her twitter account, and now seems to be working fine?
im having same problems. the radio does die out right when its crashing. could this have anything to do with this phones ability to do simultaneous data and phone? I will try to remove and unlink the twitter but I believe it was crashing with only my google account linked,
it appears to be sense 3.0 which is the problem for me. I wiped and flashed a senseless version and a sense 2.0 version and neither has the problem. On any rom with sense 3 or hybrid my phone dialer crashes upon calling?
I flashed my first ROM last night, and tried to play music using Google Music Beta, which I downloaded from the market. When I try to play the music, the app keeps on force closing. I tried reinstalling the app, tried reflashing the rom, but nothing seems to work. Any help would be appreciated.
Did you perform a full wipe before flashing the rom? I'm running 2.1 (remix) as well using mr2.5 and the kernel that came packed with BAMF 2.1. Having no issues using google music beta. Don't have much in the way of advice, just chiming in to help you narrow down where your issue is coming from (namely that the rom itself shouldn't be the issue). Might want to verify the md5, never know when you might snag a bunk download.

Yes, I performed a full wipe before flashing the ROM, assuming that means data/factory reset, cache, dalvik cache, battery stats...did that three times. Not sure if I am supposed to do it more. Also checked the md5, downloaded and flashed it twice more after the first time, and still can't get it to work.
Hrm, afraid I don't have much else to suggest outside of verifying settings within the music app itself. As I said, was primarily just letting you know the rom itself shouldn't be the issue. Sorry I cant be of more assistance . Might try a different rom and see if the issue persists, but if you're liking the 2.1 thats far from an actual solution even if it does solve the problem.

I was having the same problem (just 20 minutes ago). The app would load, the albums and tracks would appear, and then when I went to play one of them it would force close. What I did to correct the problem was to to reflash 2.1 in recovery without wiping. I let in reboot and now its working fine.
I am running bamf 2.0 - 5 and it works for me.
Although it Sometimes makes my phones signal drop to 1x so maybe flash a new radio?

I can confirm I'm having the same issue with BAMF 2.1 stripped. I tried reloading the rom without wiping and fixing permissions and still getting a force close when I attempt to play anything from the cloud.

It is listed as a known issue in the RC3 thread, but they are having trouble reproducing it. I had the same problem with RC1, but after I wiped and loaded RC3, it appears to be working fine now. I only loaded it last night and tested a little this morning though, so problems could still develop. When I was having trouble with RC1, I tried the procedure of uninstalling Google Music, unmounting SD card, reinstalling Music, and then remounting SD card. It didn't work with RC1, but I did the same thing prior to testing Music on RC3. I have no idea if that made any difference either way, but it won't hurt to try.
Edit: The known issue could be referring to the HTC Music app, not the Google one, now that I look at it again.(Still reading through the entire RC3 thread)

It was indeed the HTC Music app that is the known issue. I posted in the thread, and I provided a logcat, so hopefully someone with more experience than me can understand it.
I'm having the same issue on DAS BAMF 2.1 on latest lean kernel.
I can get it working 99% of the time with wifi only. If i use 3g or 4g the app force closes. I've tried different kernels as well.
Anyone else able to confirm if this issue is wifi/3g/4g related? Im able to use the player only if I use wifi.
Maybe this can help the devs push out a patch in 2.2
I am using it right now on RC3

I mean I can access music.google.com from the browser but that kind of defeats the purpose of the app/widget.
My friend who has the same rom isn't getting the issue.
Anyone having issues with Google Music and their Vibrant. I am using Bionix 1.3.1 Froyo and before yesterday I had no issue with it but now it will just load the song and never play it in the player on the phone. If I go to the browser I can play it. Had a friend test on his Atrix and works so doesnt appear to be the service, but his was buffering really slow.
Any ideas?
I've had weird issues, its still in beta and still really buggy in my opinion.
I've had the same thing happen, press play and it just doesn't. The only thing i've ever done that worked is to just watch for a second and let it fully buffer before you press play. If it never buffers, try killing the app in task manager and trying again.
Hopefully they update it soon, I also have really blurry album art and its a little laggy at times. It could be prettier too.

Well I just wanted to be sure it wasnt the service. Apparently no one else is having the same issues. I contacted Google Support rebooted phone and cleared data for the app as well as reinstalling but still no go. Guess ill have to reinstall the rom or another rom.
It'd be much easier and simpler to move to another music player, of which there are dozens. I prefer Winamp for free, or PowerAMP if you're an audiophile and willing to pay for it.
Hello to let you know the issue was that I had my phone authorized too many times in the settings. After removing the phone that was there 7 times i was able to fix the issue and stream properly.

If you're rooted, you can just use Titanium Backup and "WIPE DATA" on the YouTube app!

Did a Force Stop/Clear Data, and so far so good, but I was only seeing "You Tube Stopped Working intermittently, so I cannot verify this as a valid fix until I test it some more. Seems promising, as quite a few app issues get fixed this way after updates. Sure beats the early TF101 days when you needed to jump though all kinds of hoops to fix YouTube and NetFlix
THe crashing happens only for HD videos , for other videos it works fine for me .
Even clearing data doesn't help with HD videos.
Even the glowball app crashes as soon as i open , this used to work fine with honeycomb.

Hi there,
I am facing the same issue as yours from today evening. I am however facing it on the Galaxy Nexus running ICS 4.0.2. The YouTube app is constantly crashing, regardless of whether I play videos via the widget or via the actual app. I am also unable to see my videos from subscribed channels in the widget or the actual app. Only videos from Most Discussed or Recommended are being displayed.
The app was working fine until last evening and I have force stopped, cleared the cache and all saved data + restarted phone several times. No effect. It does not matter whether I am on 3G or WiFi.
Any suggestions?

Whats up people Iam loving my Prime now rooted with Vipermod. I started using the youtube app today and noticed non of the problems posted here but did see that when I scrolled the mouse across the screen it flickered at the top and that when I stream with bluetooth it takes while for it to load and keeps on reloading the video after a couple of seconds even if the video has loaded already. The second I take off bluetooth device video streams fine in HD with no reloading. Wanted to see if anyone else can test this out as well.
Yeah, mine started working again... i played with the HD settings and turned it on and off before it crashed.. and now its working. Hmmm

Are you talking about the Youtube app Hd settings and that when your turned off Hd the it would not have a problem streaming youtube. Dont think you were referring to my post but wanted to ask.
i just turned off hd in the bottom left corner of the video before it could load... then watched it for a bit... then turned it back on and it all started to work again, in both standard def and HD. I have no idea why it worked, but it seemed to
this, unfortunately, does not fix my problem. Ironic enough, everything else for this tablet WORKS so far.
Also, not sure if it's truly fact that ICS is not supported, or ASUS messed up somewhere... Either ways, here's the problem: (click the screenshot provided)
It clearly says on my other devices Youtube is already installed. However I went to Market on my TFP, and it won't show up. I go on site and the screenshot is what I get.
So, who exactly is at fault? Google or Asus?
Also, I had this bug since first ICS rollout.
