I current have the latest YouTube app on my tablet and phone (Nexus 10 and 4) and for some strange reason, after the recent upgrade to 4.4.11 of the app, YouTube would crash everytime I try to watch any video. Attempts to clean cache/data and revert to older version of the app were unsuccessful too although it would not crash. I tried searching the forum but didn't find any reports of people having problems lately. I must also mention that my YouTube account was banned some time ago due to some lame reason with a few foreign variety show video clips I posted being reported. Long story short, I was able to still watch YouTube clips previously with the app, without being successfully signed in. Both of my devices are on stock 4.2.2 with custom kernel and rooted of course.
Anyone got an idea?

Have the same problem on my Xperia S, also every time it's crash I need to On/Off my WiFi connection, comments in Google Market shows, that, at least, some people faced this problem too, so waiting for fix. For me the youtube app was perfect and completely bugless until last update.

Hi everyone,
A few days ago I got the new Facebook UI with the built-in video player+auto-play, It's very laggy (every time it auto-plays videos) and it's impossible to download the videos. I really don't know what facebook developers thought when they decided to make such a terrible update. I want to downgrade to an earlier version that still have the option to choose a video player (and download the video) and more important without the auto-play function.
How can I do it? Which version to look for?
Thanks

Depends on whether or not your phone came preloaded with Facebook. If it did, you would uninstall the update in your Settings / Applications (or Application Manager, depending on the phone) and then make sure it's not enabled to Auto Update it in the Play Store.. If it didn't come preloaded with the phone and you initially installed it from the Play Store, then go to the Settings / App section again and find out what update that is, and Google for the Facebook apk and find the newest one that isn't that one that is giving you issues.
I successfully installed older version with the old UI, but I still can't get it to pop up the video player selection :/
I dunno, I don't do Facebook really, and I have no clue which version you installed, so yea...
Have you seen this?

This is so annoying, I successfully got the video player to pop up, but after a day it stopped working. The Facebook didn't update, it's like in-app update that can't be blocked.
Use this then download messenger and freeze the messenger app using your favorite program to freeze apps like lucky patcher or android tuner. Now you can download videos and use your inbox without using that stupid messenger app. Press thanks I'd I helped you out
So the main reason I bought the padfone was because well, it has a pad docking station... and the main reason i wanted that dock was so I could watch videos as I take a lot of online courses and tutorials.
However, I've been unable to do this as none of the streaming video apps work. Videos wont play on the youtube, coursera, udemy, facebook apps for some strange reason. They all just show an error right when you press play.
Has anyone else experienced this ? Is there anyway to fix this ?
There is some kind of issue with YouTube that I am also experiencing with mine as well. I have tried various "fixes" from the internet, but to no avail. Some people say that logging out of YouTube and then back in will work. Others say that if you uninstall it or clear the cache then update it it will work. Yet more say that if you make various changes to your internet specifications it will fix it. I have met with failure with all of these, but others say it will work for them.
I would also try to sideload flash if you haven't already, that may help.
Try heading over to the Play Store > (Drawer) > My apps & games, and ensuring that there are no updates available.
If everything is updated and the issue still persists, ensure that the software on your phone is up to date as well.

Hello
anyone has an idea what to do with this?
https://github.com/wanam/YouTubeAdAway/issues/31#issuecomment-336522509
I am getting walmart and amazon ads sometimes before a video starts, filed a report on Github but yea, kinda lost there.
The official support thread is locked and dead.
My brother has no issues whatsoever running the latest Youtube App on the same phone I have:
HTC 10
Xposed 88.1
Rooted
Youtube Adaway 3.6.1
As soon as I logg out from my youtube account it seems I don't get ads anymore, as soon as I logg in theyre back.
Cleared app cache, /android/data folder and google account youtube search and play history several times, also reinstalling the xposed module and youtube app several times, even a working version before the actual youtube app has ads now.
I am aware there is a thread with modified apks.
Just use iYTBP (modded youtube) in white or black (optional). Has background playback and no ads at all.
You should make it a system app though just in case the playstore forces an update.
Then, you'll only have to deactivate the app and delete the updates while doing so.
Reactivate and there you have your modded youtube again.
Hi there, Imma Newbie in here, not so advanced in techs and etc...
Couple of days Ago I did an update on my GOOGLE PIXEL of ANDROID 10 Beta, has lot of issues but part of them is already fixed and I kinda like it... Anyhow this post is about totally different thing
When I did my last update of Google CHROME on my GOOGLE PIXEL Cellphone which is working on ANDROID 10 BETA, all the videos that I am playing with the CHROME browser get STALLED when I try to REWIND / FORWARD them.
For Example : I go to one of the online movie website, I turn movie and if I want to rewind it it gets stalled...
By the same time any other browser (Firefox, Opera) play the same video without any kind of problems, thats why I think that the problem lays in CHROME
TRIED TO FIX
So I did the following procedures : cleared cache and cookies, search content, browsing history, storage and etc... Tried to installing the older version of CHROME and it didn't work as well cause in PIXEL it is BUILT IN application witch can not be downgraded... restarting the phone couple of times and etc. Nothing worked for me
Please try to be able to help me to resolve my Issue
Thank you in advance
P.S I also wrote a feedback in Google Store indicating the problem but no response yet...
I mainly use my MediaPad M5 8.4 (SHT-AL09) for media consumption on various streaming services. I have had Netflix working perfectly for quite some time, but within the last month (or so) it stopped working. Now when loading the app I get "Can't Connect to Netflix" error message. I tried to view the website via Edge and Chrome with no luck there either. Using the browsers I can get into my account, navigate to a show I want to watch, but then I get an error message. Chrome error message is more detailed and says "We're having trouble playing Netflix. Please visit chrome://components, find "Widevine Content Decryption Module" and click the "Check for update" button. This isn't possible using the Android version of Chrome, so I'm at a loss. Anyone got any ideas?
This may finally get me to go down the AOSP or other ROM route. I have my bootloader unlocked but have resisted the non-OEM ROMs simply because of a lack of good TWRP support and a seeming lack of developers for this device.
Thanks!

I'm using SHT-W09 8.0.0.200(C567). I'm not having any problem running content in the Netflix app. I can't even guess what might be causing the error. Have you tried accessing Netflix using another device on your LAN?

I did get it sorted out. I simply deleted the Netflix app completely and reinstalled via APKMirror Installer (same way I got Disney+ to install) and everything was good to go when I signed in to the "new" Netflix app. No clue what happened there, but I'm glad I got it working again.
I'm seriously considering loading up one of the GSI ROMs, but my concern over losing the HD playback in certain streaming apps and uncertainty of going back to stock are all that are holding me back.
I have not managed to get level 1 on custom rom yet. Reverted back to stock and regained lvl 1 widewine.
