Anyone having issues with the YouTube app? I can play YouTube clips in a browser and other videos. But after installing the app, TP starts acting up. First video plays, but very choppy. Then graphics start strobing, then it looks like I have 9 small screens.
Do a hard boot and uninstall, problems gone. I have seen this on CM and Miui.us.

You said you tried this on 2 separate ROM builds? Did you do full wipes in between. Have you tried side loading a YouTube apk.

I do full wipes between all flashes. I have only tried youtube from the market. How would sideloading be different. Isn't it still installing an APK file?
Thanks,

I wanted to play YouTube videos on my A7HT v1 and found that version 1.3 works.But the videos do not play in fullscreen.some are small while others are large. .I also tried using Skyfire browser but the video quality is bad in it.
Then i switched to 2.1 beta 6 ROM(you can find it at archosfans forums) and noticed that the YouTube app in it displays videos in fullscreen but the videos cannot play on any ROM higher than 1.5.
Now i have decided to decompile the 2.1 apk,copy the properties that tell it to play in fullscreen and paste those into the 1.5 apk.So can any one guide me on this.
Thanks
Make sure that your browsers are up to date. Im not much of a youtube user but I think that they just started using HTML5 for the videos as opposed to flash. So if the app is working but the browser isnt, that could be why. Aside from that, try to empty the cache for your browser or the app? This might not be related directly to your ROM, I have heard a lot of people (running stock roms) complaining that youtube has been broken on their android phone. Does it work in your stock ROM?
Hope this helps, but I doubt it haha.
I installed CM7 an hour ago without any problems. The process was about 100 times easier than installing cm7 on my fascinate, which was surprising. I tinkered with it a bit, then tried to play a mkv video and got a black screen. I tried 4 different media players, all black screens. I then went to youtube, tried to load up a video, blackscreen. I downloaded Angry Birds, opened it, black screen. I installed straight from WebOS, didn't have the previous version of cm7 on the pad.
Could it have something to do with the fact I had a custom kernel installed before?

WebOS kernel is irrelevant, it's booting from a different partition.
It should work fine, copy the new 2.1 alpha to the SD card, boot into CWM and do a full datawipe & then reflash 2.1, see if that helps.
I am having a fairly similar issue. Angry Birds and other games will work just fine, but videos don't play. I can hear the audio, but where the video should be there is just black. The only two sources I've tried were Netflix and YouTube.
I was hoping to avoid reinstalling CM7, but it looks like I might have to. Is nobody else having this problem?
With YouTube, for me at least, I have to rotate it horizontally to see video. If you watch in high quality, though, it hardly works. The video doesn't buffer properly (constantly stops to buffer).

As far as Netflix this is a known issue. Make sure you are using down version and not the most recent update. I had same issue, rolled back using my titanium backup version to 1.4.1 and all is well with netflix.

As to some of the other video issues if you are trying to play local files, a lot of this may be due to a lack of video codecs. I know I can play full profile 720P mp4 on my SGS2 but I get nothing on touchpad...chalking it up to a codec issue that hopefully gets resolved down the road.

Hi.. this is my first post on xda. Not sure if im in the right forum topic.
Im using Note 2 -android 4.1.2.
Ive come across an unusual problem today. I tried streaming videos and none of the videos are playing on both chrome and the defalt internet app. I always used the default browser video player
When a video is clicked to play, the usual black screen appears but thereafter it just keeps loading with the circle going round in the middle (attached screen). But nothing happens. I have not installed any other apps since before nor any other mods.
What I have already tried.
I have resetted app preference under app manager and stil the same issue
Tried installing MX player and tried to load the strea ming video via mxplayer still same issue.
Appreciate your help.
Thanks

Hi there, i've got a tablet plugged on my TV, and never had any trouble with Adobe Flash before, but recently while i was using dolphin browser i got a message that i should install flash to watch a movie (which i already had installed) so i had to delete the flash version i had and download a new one from the same message on dolphin browser. Then i started to notice some weird things while watching videos, the video doesn't fit the normal window and can't scroll normally, it's like video is static in place even if i scroll up or down, and the tracking reacts very slow. The other problem is that now when i play movies the subtitles goes 3 or 4 seconds ahead of the video.
Like i said this never happened before, i've tried to install older versions of flash, made factory reset, delete any other app in case of conflicts, but i can't solve it. I'd like to watch flash videos like before, does anyone can help me or give me advice about this problem? Thanks in advance. :good:
Since I've flashed SlimKat 4.4 and moved to CM 11 4.4, I haven't been able to watch videos online. There's audio but the video is just black and the YiuTube logo glitched on the bottom right part of all videos I play. Tried different browsers, no luck. Can only watcb through YouTube app but I uninstalled all Google apps because I hate them, now I need to be able to watch vids thru browser. Local videos work fine.
Help me, pros. Thanks.
Another question: is it ok to clean flash a JB rom over KK?
