Hi, after upgrading to ICS everything is working much better, except for the youtube app. Pretty much every time i click on a link it says "unfortunately, Youtube has stopped" especially when you use the search function...
Is this happening to anyone else, or can you offer a solution?
I've rebooted, cleared data etc....
Any ideas?
Mine does the same thing.

Yup had this too. Not with all of them though. Some it shows some it doesn't.
Settings, Apps, ALL, YouTube... then force stop, and clear data! Mine was doing that until I cleared the app data and now it works fine!
If you're rooted, you can just use Titanium Backup and "WIPE DATA" on the YouTube app!
mine works fine without clearing any data
nup, mine still likes to troll me ...
mine seems to still be working fine. everything loads up alot faster.
YouTube does that on my phone running ICS too. It is an issue with ics and not the tablet.

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.

tried to do the same for Youtube, but couldn't find the youtube app on the Market.

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?

Yeah, like for me. worked fine yesterday. Have no problem with the stability, just the sync don't work
And just now it's started to worked little. can now see my subscribe channels if I go under account.
on the start, main screen most discussed and recommend are showing. here is used to see the newest from my subscribe channels
Start to think that Google are doing maintenance or upgrade and there for its not working as it should.
Have we been able to watch live video with the app before???. and movie categories?? all this under the search button

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.

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).

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?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
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.

Has anyone had issue with the audio being out of sync with the video while on Youtube in the browser? I don't know if I had this issue from the start or not (only had my nook a few days) or if it's the result of a sideloaded app.
I did try to install the youtube app and it kept crashing constantly. I uninstalled that app and now I'm wondering if it messed something up.
What would be the best way to "fix" this assuming it isn't a normal thing.
Thanks,
Rick

I had this problem and once I updated the Flash player things were fixed.
I have version 11.1.102.59
Get "Tubemate" off the market. Its much better than the youtube app and watching them imbedded.
Some reason on my device both embedded and the youtube app compress my videoo, even when i select 720p. With tubemate you get full HD quality.
Please for give the noob questions, but here goes.

I'll look into that, I'm pretty sure it's available on amazon market.
Thanks everyone for the responses. I did some experimenting since my original post.
I decided to do a factory restore since I wanted to be sure it was something I did that caused the behavior. After the restore, I noticed the NT went to the mobile youtube (I then remembered I had switched it into destop mode before) which played video flawlessly. Everything was in perfect sync. I then changed to desktop mode for the full youtube and again, w/o any other applications installed, the audio was at least 1/2 second out of sync with the video. This again was directly after the factory restore without any extra apps installed.

The mobile is less taxing on the system then the full site and upgrading flash would help as well. Mobile might be using a different flash version then the full site as well since its made to run on weaker hardware then the full site is. Im sure you could find the latest version of flash if you searched google for the flash.apk
Now here's a weird problem I could really use some help with. For whatever reason, most flash videos won't play on my unit. The random site, like NHL will work but YouTube and Blip either don't load, or play for a split second and then stop. Pluggins are enabled, I've updated flash, and I've even done a factory reset to no avail. I've also tried using other browsers like Dolphin and Opera which also don't work. Skyfire is the only one that works but it plays the videos terribly.
Here are some videos I made for your reference that demonstrate the problem.

is this with the stock browser? stock browser usually plays all flash. opera mobile needs updating for the prime as only sound comes out unless you can somehow press the expand button on the video. that works with YouTube in opera.
have you went to the marketplace to make sure you have the latest version of adobe flashplayer?
cam4, tube8, pornhub ... yep mine all works great

Yep. Both of those videos were taken with stock browser. And yea, flash is fully updated.
Weird huh? One would think its a software issue, since video play perfectly with dedicated applications. But for whatever reason, they just refuse to play in the browser
Defective unit?
youtube and all other flash sites I have seen have worked for me but I did try that blip.tv and it didn't work on stock or dolphin browser for whatever reason
I had the exact same problem until someone kindly reminded me to make sure I had adobe flash installed/updated. I just assumed it was I guess. I don't know. Excitement and being lost in the world of checking out a new toy can bring out the the dunce cap in the best of us. Speaking of me of course, this may not be your problem.

Quite odd.....
Most are able to play all flash videos without a problem while some of us, like you and me, are having problems with some videos.
What could it be?
So I tried uninstalling adobe flash with inentions of reinstalling it but noticed it simply say's "update" when I uninstall instead of "install". So after uninstalling I tried other flash sites that worked before and they still worked despite uninstalling flash (seems to only uninstall an update and not the whole thing?). blip.tv still did not work.
reinstalled flash after and still no go.
Not sure whats up with these sites. They have the same video player look though so something to do with the player they are using? I also notice that in dolphin, where I normally get a green arrow that I need to press first to enable flash on a site, doesn't show it for this video player they use.

Do you get the same screen that I get when I try to view these videos? Meaning the gray screen with the little cinema sign in the middle?
As mentioned though the super confusing part is that most people are having no issues playing these videos.....

Havent tried the full version yet, just the default youtube page. Sometimes it works though on youtube, however i cant control the player at all.
Well I have no idea at all whats going on. My youtube does work fine though which makes it pretty odd. Although I just noticed that when a video finishes on youtube it shows that cinema icon on top of the usual youtube play icon... Still works though

Exactly the same as me. It almost seems like two different codecs are conflicting?....
maybe a rooted device with blocked ads (adfree/ad-away)? this can mess up things, too...
I have 100% the same issue as the thread starter. It is a NON-rooted unit and I am afraid that the only fix would be to actually root it and uninstall completely and re-install but with the ICS update coming in 6 days I think I will just wait.
No flash issues here at all.
Hi, first of all sorry if this post is hidden somewhere but since i upgraded my tf201 to ice cream sandwish igot this problem : I can't play megavideo videos in fullscreen it just lead to a white page, on stock browser video works but after 5-10 mins the browser shutdown im kinda out of ideas. I tried uninstalling flash, dolphin browser hd, reinstalling both and tried iphone,ipad,android and desktop mode everytime with same result video hang then whitescreen gotta restart browser. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Anyone had this problem???
Have you tried with the Flash update that came out today for compatibility with ICS?
Is it a different version than the one from market? I just uninstall/reinstall flash and dolphin hd tonight from market thx for reply
So nobody got this problem since ics??
Try using a 3rd party app such as Mobo or Rockplayer. If that doesn't work try a factory reset. Also ask Jerdog to move this to Q&A as this is a question.
I am also having this problem on my tp running ics dolphin and adobe. everything is up to date and says that it will fix the problem, but it does not. it happens on random videos, some work in full screen and some white screen. I think it has something to do with the flash player because I did not have the problem until i installed adobe (it was needed to play some videos that are now white screening). Videos work fine until they go fullscreen. My stock browser works fine and rarely crashes. I just like dolphins ui the best.
Any fixes found?
I am also having this issue, have tried 10 browsers, it is happening in all of them when you try to play embedded video and full screen videos. Frustrating as hell. I am sure an update is coming that will fix it.
No Problems Here...
My TFP is working flawlessly since ICS, the HD video play pretty well without any lag. I have a bunch of them... try a clearing the data from the app.
You know, you should give us some kind of link or example so we can try some specific thing ourselves instead of just asking whether "videos" work for us or not.

Right, for example give use the Hd Video type you are trying to play...
It happens to me. Here's an example: if I'm at a page that has flash video, I will start seeing the video, hit the button for full screen, and the whole screen turns white, the video does not play.

thanks alot for all you're answers, i tryed a system restore yesterday with no success i already tried to push back and retry fullscreen didnt work as for the 3rd party i'll try that tonight same goes for the link ill post it tonight since im actually at work. Anyway the videos i tried was from animefreak website i tried using a different mirror (different player than megavideo) with same result. Ill keep you updated, thanks
Hitting back does nothing as the prime will freeze on a white screen. App must be rebooted to function properly.
I have seen this problem on pc due to the hardware acceleration option, i wonder if that might have something to do with it. Although it would be weird to have hardware acceleration on a flash player meant for a tablet. I tried to mess with the player settings but found nothing that would help.
Although the stock browsers is not so fun it seems to work so I would just use it until the issue is fixed.

I have the same probleme yesterday. But i have an fix that works for me.
1. First deinstall over Apps the Flash Player.
2. Then install the flashplayer 11 over the market!!!
This is important because, if you open the browser without flash it ask you to install flash and with this package it doesn't work. I dont know why, but only the package in the Market work with fullscreen flashvideos!
I hope i can help you
EDIT:
It work for the first time, after it shown the with screen you describe
EDIT2:
It works, but only in the AndroiBrowser! In the other Browser only a white screen is shown.
Hey guys,
I'm using the weekly posted in the subject line, and YouTube doesn't work as expected. Does anyone know of a fix?
Does the new 7.2 RC1 support it?
I can confirm it works flawlessly at the new 7.2 RC1, which by far, is one of the best and more complete roms ever tried. Specially battery life is just amazing.
Hope to help!
Awesome, looks like it's time to update.
Thanks!

I don't know if this helps, but I have my LCD Density set at 200. It's strange though, because when I first flashed RC0, YouTube worked fine. Then I believe there was an update, and it was downhill after that.

I haven't changed any LCD settings, so whatever is standard in rc1, that's what mines set at.
The LCD settings never seemed to affect it before, strange.
Ok some browsers e.g default and Dolphin use built in video player to stream youtube videos hence the circle (which is singe of loading) and usually youtube app dont kick in automatically when u open a youtube link (in opera it does kick in auto)
But on its own youtube app is working perfect (no problems what so ever)
My youtube app doesn't kick in at all for HD videos, but if I turn it off it works.
It sucks because I tend to watch everything in HD...
So opening a link from a browser works, but not the app itself. I see the kicking in concept now.
Anyone ever find a fix?
Everything works fine within dolphin browser, just not the app.
