I'm having trouble playing videos on Facebook. Videos start but after some seconds they stop and give an error "could not play the video" I have tried uninstalling the app and reinstalling it but it didn't work. Anyone having similar issues?

Solution for the Facebook video issue :
I downgraded my Facebook by uninstalling the current version and installing an older version. The version I have chosen is version 5 which allows me to choose in which app I can play the video on and gives me the possibility of downloading it as well
It looks old, I lost the function of adding a picture into the comments (can do it on PC anyhow) otherwise I am happy with this version
Here you can get it, (you can try newer versions for the video error issue) as I was looking for the version that allows me to download videos:

One solution I have read is to go to settings, apps then scroll to the all menu. Then scroll down to the bottom and disable xperia for Facebook.

I have the same problem but I can't find that setting, I am on .314.
I mean there is no "xperia for Facebook".
I found disabling that apo only made the videos work for a couple of days before they broke again

Anybody else notice this? The past 2 days I can't get TV Shows Stream to play any videos. App loads, can search for shows and see the lists, but nothing will play. Looked around, googled, couldn't find any recent chatter about it. I've been using it a LOT on my TB.
I know it's no longer available in the market, but I was under the assumption that if you had it it would still work.

i know i've had bad luck with some of the source links for it, but megavideo usually plays.
chances are you're seeing the same message everyone else is (androidcentral forum members) about "this video has been taken down" or "video removed"--have you tried all of the source links (karambavidz/megavideo/etc) for the videos?
i love the app and will hate when it's no longer working. i already hate that it's removed from the marketplace. they removed it THE DAY i rooted and had to work my magic to get the .apk back

Mine is still working. I had an issue with sound playing and emailed them. They told me to:
1- Uninstall "Adobe Flash Player"
2- Uninstall "TV Shows Stream" (Note that you will lose your saved bookmarks)
3- Reboot your device
4- Install "Adobe Flash Player" from Android Market
5- Install "TV Shows Stream" from Android Market
So anybody know how to fix this?
also does somebody got a android 101 for flashing roms and such things?
Maybe try clearing defaults? That would be my only guess
Clear defaults in the manage apps menu.

cant find that option.
well i found it but it is not clickable.
The clear defaults button is grayed out on mine for YouTube, streaming media player, and internet browser. My only thought would be to uninstall and reinstall the youtube app. The link should come up tho, is it a specific video or it never gives you the option?
Actually, I noticed they either launch directly in the youtube app as well, unless they're embedded in the webpage. Even then, clicking on "watch on YouTube" gives me two options, internet and YouTube. Clicking internet opens the youtube page, and clicking play there just opens up my YouTube app anyways. So I don't think you're missing much.

You have to clear the defaults for whichever application automatically opens up when you click the link. You might have already checked that out, I just wanted to clarify in case.
I believe you would actually need to clear defaults for the browser, not the YouTube app as some have tried... If that doesn't work, as suggested, uninstalling and reinstalling YouTube will reset it also.

both dont got any defaults set
I don't know if this is specific to this phone or not but every time I click a YouTube link I am directed to the the website instead of the app. I have cleared permissions and un installed updates to no avail. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Check app associations in your settings... It should ask you what to launch unless you have already set it to go directly to the browser

My YouTube asks everytime I hit a link if I want to open it in the browser or the YouTube app and won't let me set a default. My app associations menu doesn't list anything related to YouTube either.
So my question is this -- where are you launching the links? It's possible that it's a problem within your browser, so you might want to try a different one and see what it does. If it's not from the browser (Facebook, etc), it might be that app.

I have a guide that solves this exact problem, sadly, you need to be rooted. So as soon as you are rooted (or if you're one of the lucky ones who is rooted) check out this thread right here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1696536 it will work on your device and solve your issue :good:
great - thanks! now I just need root for the Inc 4g
Hey communitty,
So here's the thing I've flashed JB 4.1.1 and I've noticed something which I don't know if it's a ug or a feature on the update. When I try to open a youtube video on facebook unlike the previous firmware, I don't get the option of watching the video on the youtube app, instead I'm only given the options of browser or pop up browser...
Can anyone help...?
Cheers
Everything's ok here. I get as options the browsers and the youtube app. Try reinstall Facebook and youtube updates (remove the updates and update it again)
Also be sure you didn't selected youtube videos to open as default in browsers or something like that.

Hi,
for some reason I can not open youtube links with my youtube app anymore. It used to be like I was able to choose whether I would like to open the link with my brother or with youtube. Now for some reason I can only choose between Android Browser and Opera. Youtube option is gone. I have googled this problem and found a couple of people having the same issues but no solution. Can anyone of you help?
Things I tried:
erase Data from Browser, Opera, youtube, facebook. --> no changes.
None of the apps is running as standard app.

I had some problems with the Youtube app recently, it just said "an error occured" and in the logcat it mentioned something about not being able to authorize my account with google services. Turned out the latest version of the app is just crappy. Downgrading back to 4.1.47 fixed all issues for me.
