I used to be able to watch youtube videos using Streaming Media. Yesterday, when I tried to watch a video, while buffering, it said there was some error. I tried today too. It showed Connecting for 10 minutes until I stopped it.
Any ideas?
Look for problems at you're mobile provider.
I had the same problems, but the solved themself.. Hopefully the do the same for you
Maybe waiting is this time a good solution?
I don't think it has anything to do with the provider. I've tried connecting via WiFi and still no good.
I'll give it a try later this week.
The problem solved itself. Read somewhere that youtube themselves were responsible for that. Glad everything is fine now.
As mentioned in the title, youtube HD videos seems to buffer a lot. I have a pretty good internet connection, constantly get around 10 - 12Mbps download speed. I don't have buffering problems on my laptop or my phone.
Anyone else see this and any setting that might help? Currently I'm turning off HD on videos to prevent buffering but ideally don't want to do that.

now I really dont have that problem due to my difference in internet speed but when I use my 4g from my thunderbolt *around that speed* I do notice the buffering problem only if there are more than one person using the connection at once. just for research, try and see what happens if only you are using the connection (turn off or disable other tech) and see if it actually makes a difference
I have to concur, youtube on Android tablets is a bit subpar. It never buffered this much on my iPad.
I get the same problem here, my pc and my phone load quickly while my GT seems to buffer very often while watching HD.

This is a little weird cuz in my house it backwards, my galaxy tab play YouTube flawlessly but my ipad which pretty much belongs to my 3 year old son, seems to buffer often.

Thought it was just me. Mine buffers a lot using the youtube app.
At times it will freeze during playback. I have to uncheck the HD for it to eventually start playing again.
I haven't noticed it as much if I play it through the browser.

The question is does this reveal yet another weakness in tegra 2 or is this a coding issue with the app??
So many videos either buffer go choppy or fc.
Gears of war 3 ashes to ashes trailer by machinima fc every time.
Im almost certain that it is a coding issue. As it was said above, i only notice the buffer problem in the youtube app, it works fine in the browser.

it happens using any browser as well. i remember reading about this issue on the ipad too and people had some mixed results by changing DNS settings but i think it was more of a placebo effect. it's definitely a problem with this tablet though.
for me, it's just the YouTube app.. viewing on browser is fine, so it's a coding issue with the app. I suggest using the Feedback option under the app menu to report this issue. Google needs to hear from us about this.
watching it in the browser introduces a different issue, however - everything above 480 is out of sync.
Same here. Seems tobe a problem with the YouTube app. Smooth streaming HD when opened in stock browser but some buffering in app. My browser had no problems with 480 either. Hope google fixes and updates youtube app soon.
In the Youtube app it's either HD playback or grainy. There does not seem to be anything in between.

same here!!
It buffers a lot! I have to wait for 5mins+ for a 3mins video.
Anyone had success with muktitasking youtube app and other app?? I dont actually mind if youtube app could be left behind, but everytime i left it to another app. All the buffer's gone and video buffer was resetted to zero!
Same here...
I've got the same issue, but it only happens sometimes. I've noticed this happens more often when I pause a video, rewind, or when I'm watching a particularly long video (50 min or so). I doubt it's a problem with my network because my PC can stream the video just fine.
Same here, very annoying!
I've noticed that I'm never able to play youtube videos while on 3g and was wondering if this was common or the norm. I can watch them without a problem on 4g but I'm unable to get a 4g signal while at work and was curious about this issue.
Do a speed test to see what your download speeds are, if they are to slow then you have your answer. You don't have WiFi you can use?
Well I get around each time tested 672k down and 80k up. Not sure if its the speed as I can go to the youtube website(desktop version) and the videos will play. Its only on the mobile site and app that get the messages that there was a problem when loading. I'm just curious if anyone has had this issue with the app.
I have been noticing that youtube when in HQ mode has about a 5 second section where the voice and picture kinda match up and the pictures starts slowing down but then there will be 2 seconds where the picture speeds up to match the voice. The voice always sounds right, just the picture does a lil hop to catch up.
It's really noticeable if you watch the same video on your pc and then go back and watch it on your note.
Things I have tried:
I have tied using regular mode and it works just fine.
I have tried wifi and regular 3g connections. (haven't tried 4g yet bc I am about 2 hours away from any)
I have tried different wifi connections. (3 to be exact)
I have tried using the youtube widget and the youtube app.
I have tried the youtube website.
All of them do the same thing.
Has anyone else had/seen this issue?

I'm going to bump this, i'm having the exact same issue. Had it before i rooted and overclocked the kernel,and even before i installed a custom rom. I've noticed that it only happens when i view a video in fullscreen/landscape, viewing it in portrait on Youtube is fine.
In addition, 1080p videos from my SD card play absolutely perfect.
It has to be a size/format issue
Hello All,
I did find that if I format a movie as the larger size it works just fine.
When looking at movies formatted for a Captivate (Galaxy S1 800x480) the note has the same issue.
I just got Game of Thrones Season 1 and I formatted it for the ipad (1200x760) and there is no issue at all.
Yay for weird stuff.
Hopefully ICS comes out and resolves the issue.
Thanks,
Kevin
So I was just wondering if anyone else was having this same issue about the new updates and losing root on the EVO 4G LTE.
So this is what I did:
I had a very old software on my HTC EVO 4G and it kept crashing so I decided to update it (2.1.X.X I believe), after the update was done, I lost root and also I was unable to watch youtube videos. I think this has to do with some configuration settings, however, I could use regular 3G such as web browsing, Facebook, all that good stuff, even Pandora.
Then, Jelly Bean came out and I decided to give it a try, everything went smooth and everything was the same except this time Pandora just keeps skipping songs, not playing any at all. I thought it was the Pandora Helper which skips songs when shaking phone. I removed it and still the same issue. I was just wondering if anyone out there had a configuration so 3G works on video streams and to fix Pandora as well of course. I'm sure that after the Jelly Bean update Pandora stopped working. Wi-Fi works fine on video and Pandora as well so it has to do with 3G configuration. Thanks in Advance.
GPS works fine btw.
