So I rooted my LG G3 today so I could do some screen recording. Everything seemed fine, I was able to use Titanium Backup, even do some recording. But then I tried to watch a video in the native YouTube app. I was able to do everything in the app except watch videos. I would tap on a video, it would try to load an ad, the play/pause button would flicker, then it says that there was a problem playing. It does this with and without ads trying to load first.
I also tried to use the Netflix app. It wouldn't even load all the way, it just sat there with the spinning red circle.
Any ideas why this is happening?
I've got my g3 rooted and have no issues similar to yours. Maybe something you did with titanium backup?

Odd occurrence, I've had root since it was released, never had any video issues like yours

That's really odd. It's working now, might have been my internet, or it just needed another couple reboots.

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).

This happens to me the other day and all I did was a reboot and it started working again.

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?

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.

Anyone having issues with Google Music and their Vibrant. I am using Bionix 1.3.1 Froyo and before yesterday I had no issue with it but now it will just load the song and never play it in the player on the phone. If I go to the browser I can play it. Had a friend test on his Atrix and works so doesnt appear to be the service, but his was buffering really slow.
Any ideas?
I've had weird issues, its still in beta and still really buggy in my opinion.
I've had the same thing happen, press play and it just doesn't. The only thing i've ever done that worked is to just watch for a second and let it fully buffer before you press play. If it never buffers, try killing the app in task manager and trying again.
Hopefully they update it soon, I also have really blurry album art and its a little laggy at times. It could be prettier too.

Well I just wanted to be sure it wasnt the service. Apparently no one else is having the same issues. I contacted Google Support rebooted phone and cleared data for the app as well as reinstalling but still no go. Guess ill have to reinstall the rom or another rom.
It'd be much easier and simpler to move to another music player, of which there are dozens. I prefer Winamp for free, or PowerAMP if you're an audiophile and willing to pay for it.
Hello to let you know the issue was that I had my phone authorized too many times in the settings. After removing the phone that was there 7 times i was able to fix the issue and stream properly.
Happened to me a lot of times.

Interesting... where are these settings?
Edit: Never mind... found it. Didn't realize you meant in the browser... works perfectly again! Thanks!
This worked on my Sensation and on my T-Mobile GSII (Files were originally taken from Sensation forum, I just tried them on other devices). I don't have my Tab with me to try it right now, but figured someone could give it a shot.
Copy files to Titanium Backup folder and restore APP+DATA.
I know it won't work with AdFree or similar without modifying host files.
I tried, I can get it to log in and browse the available videos, however I get stuck on "buffering..." black screen or endless buffer loop where it starts to play ad but then just restarts and says buffering again
I also get the app loaded but get stuck on buffering
Do you have ad free or an ad free rom? That is what causes that problem on the sensation.

Galaxy Task 10.0 does have an ad blocker cooked in, it's a modified hosts file.
I stand corrected
I installed the "disable ad blocker" zip in CWM as mentioned in task650's post (thanks Gillian for pointing in right direction), and Hulu is now working! Thank you!!
I installed the Disable Ad Blocking on my Task ROM but I still get stuck in loop buffering.

Mine wasn't listed under H, I had to scroll down almost to the bottom to find the file when I restored it.
Also, as I used it more last night, I ran in to a lot of buffering issues where the ads would work fine, but the minute it got to the show it would buffer and pop up an error message saying no active internet connection (when I did).
I found it and restored app+data......am i supossed to have a login and password?.....i go to watch a show and it takes me to log in sreen
Yeah you have to have a Hulu Plus account to use it. They offer a 7-day free trial, then $7.99/mo after that.

Thank you so much for posting this!! It is working great for me on Galaxy Task 10. Finally hulu on my Galaxy tab!

Thanks for posting. Works great. I'm running the latest kang ICS on my GT7510
Watchin **** Van Dyke right now...
Seems I spoke too soon. Got half way through the program and it stopped saying buffering then it says I may have a network issue please try again later or adjust your stream settings. I waited for about 2 or 3 min. and the video resumed. Then a couple of minutes an it happens again. Trying a lower video quality now, was set to hi....now med.Still well worth it cause before this I had nothing for hulh on my tab.
Thanks again
Says device isn't supported. Running Galaxytask 10 without ad block.
did you restore app + data? if you just did app, you'll get that error message I believe
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.

Update: i was able to update the glowball app from market and that fixed it
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 got a freeze of the device.
I was watching YouTube redirected via Opera Mini.
The sound was ON, everything else freezed. I had to restart the phone.
Is this a YouTube issue?
Yea it is, i occured many times, but on other site that were not a problems.

I had the same problem a few times with the stock firmware (.62 I think.. or .63 ) and with the newer .73 I never had that issue. And I use youtube very often!
At mine it was the same: Everything else than sound just freezed, no button-press was recognized -> restart with [Vol UP]+[Power]. I could not reproduce it, it just happened about one time in two days or so..
I had something remotely similar several times:
When watching a video fullscreen and trying to jump back in time the video output would freeze, when rotating the phone back the normal YouTube interface would come back but the video portion would stay the same as fullscreen.
After a while a window pops up asking me whether I wanted to force close, when I choose close only the fullscreen video part is gone but YouTube is still running and responding...
I didn't have the phone freeze from this though.
edit: I'm on .67 Austrian A1 stock firmware.
Same for me :-S
And
even with one stuck,
i can reload another one
So,
"two" in same time
It happened on mine as well. I called Sony Mobile Canada to report this issue and the web browsing causing the phone to reboot. She said she will escalate it because it is a software issue. For now, I will be returning my Xperia S until they fix these issues. I can live without youtube for awhile but the web browser crashing the phone is unacceptable, IMO.
