I have been using youtube app on kitkat 4.4.2. Then i upgraded to 5.0.2 and now whenever I open any video on youtube app... I get the error.
" connection to server lost..... touch to retry"
I dont know of any permanent fix but usually a reboot fixes it.
Typically ive found pausing a video before closing the app seems to prevent it from happening as often :/
Go in Developer Settings and DISABLE "use NuPlayer". Worked perfectly for me.

Whenever I get this problem I clear my cache.
That fixes it.

Have you tried the solution I mentioned above? It should fix the issue permanently.
None of the solutions above works for me except a reboot. I've also noticed when this happens the camera, stock movies app and embedded videos in the browser do not work.

I believe your issue is different and somehow more serious than the one in the OP. Stock or custom rom?

I have found the same problem in the stock pretty rooted ROM and am now currently using existenz y. I have yet to use the purely stock Sony ROM.

I have your exact problem and I have tried a fully stock ftf. It's something in the video decoder going wrong, according to logcat. It is extremely annoying.
I still have this problem on 5.1.1 stock!!

Same problem My son has the same smartphone and same version 5.0.2 and no issues. Both are rooted. Everything works fine after reboot and after few hours doesn't work YouTube app, video recording and video playback in stock video player app...
Same here. After couple of times when launching YouTube the error appears. I didn't try the camera, but going to YouTube via browser (except opera) also gives an error. Maybe Google will fix it someday.....

This is an AOSP rom, so the camera will not be the same as stock.

Most likely a bad download. Try downloading it again and flashing it.

recieving calls
Love this rom so far and was looking forward to using it daily but I just noticed today that I am unable to receive phone calls. Making a call works and everything else so far works and my phone is very fast and responsive. I rebooted phone and still no luck. Haven't seen anyone have a problem like this so far.
I receive calls just fine.
Thanks!!!
I'm loving this Rom so far......keep up the good work!!!
I cannot get my music apps (apollo, and google play music) to work. They both load up, however neither of them will produce sound (from speakers or headphones). My video audio works fine. I am willing to try mostly anything.
Besides that, this ROM is the Bee's Knee's. : D
I'm loving this ROM so far, but I'm having one kind of annoying issue. Whenever I'm watching a video and I rotate the device it causes the video to stop and sort of reload. Kind of like the app reloads whenever the device is rotated. Other than that everything has been working great.
Media problems?
Any ideas on how to get Pandora to work?
Anybody knows where all the settings are kept? Stuff like card view for recent applications, pie menu on immersive mode, etc. They all come with a pop-up for initial selection, but can't find a way to change a seeing one chosen...
Never mind, they're in the settings storage - couldn't expect that, no? ?
baseband
I have a question. I seen this on other roms I have used. Baseband says unknown. Should it say that?

just installed 4.6 beta 6 on my vs985, but gps is almost completely non-functional. it takes almost 5 minutes to get a locate, and after that will not update. loaded a twrp backup of my rooted 10b build, and gps was working 100%.
funny thing is that the only reason i just went out and got my g3 is because my g2 was having the same issue
I'm having this problem, is really annoying sometimes when I try to play videos on YouTube it says "There was a problem while playing. Touch to retry" I have to reboot my phone every single time that this happens, I don't know why, it's getting really annoying, what can I do?

I have the same problem.
suddenly, the camera stops working, and I get a message saying something like "the camera is in use by another application" message. and not in use by any application, or use a camera app third.
at the same time when the camera fails, if I put youtube I have the same error message, as if it had network, and you can not load the videos.
to me obliged to restart the terminal.
my phone is a compact Z5, yellow, it appears in the box 2.1 review.
bootloader currently open, had the installation stock, and to try to solve the problem I did a clean install of the latest version .200, with their wipes.
but the problem has resurfaced ...
any ideas?
Thank you, and happy holidays

I have the same camera problem. Also can't play videos on Twitter, either. It happens after a while, but the only solution I have found is to restart the device. Anyway it appears again after some time. It's really frustrating. I hope to find a solution to fix this. I'm in the latest firmware version. 200 and have an unlocked bootloader. Hope Sony fixes this in a future update. I'm waiting for a custom Rom also just to see if this problem disappears, but is a new device so I guess I'll have to wait. Glad to see I'm not the only one with this problem.
Thanks, Happy holidays! [emoji2]

I can also confirm both of those problems, both YouTube and camera. I also have unlocked bootloader and I'm running .152 currently. Really.. REALLY annoying. I can also confirm that the streaming problem doesn't only affect YouTube, but some other apps too, for example video streaming on Relay for Reddit or Facebook videos.
I'm running stock (locked bootloader) and I have the problem with the Youtube app. In my case, it happens with specific videos. I thought the problem was just the site being weird, but looks like that's not it.

Yeah, it also happens on other apps, like twitter, everytime I try to play a video it says "content not available" as I said the only solution I've found is restart the device, but after some time, the problem comes back again. It's really annoying because I have to restart the device every time. But for now I'm using Chrome to play Youtube videos. Another problem I have is that I can't add chrome bookmarks on desktop, it shows empty even though i have many bookmarks (including Youtube) , so I have to open Chrome app and then access Youtube. Hope the marshmallow update fix all this. Because it's really frustrating

I was getting the YouTube issue on every video, but clearing the phone's cache (fastboot erase cache) seems to have solved it.

Thanks for this reply. I'll try wiping the cache tomorrow and will report back if it fixes the problem for me.
My cousin has the same issue on Z3 Compact, after updating to Lollipop. On Kitkat it was fine. So it's certainly not device specific.

Can you do this with an locked bootloader? A bit funny though, since we did a factory reset, which would erase the cache partition.

I see, no there's no difference. I presume it has to do something with the system, then just being easily fixable with clearing cache.

Sadly, it didn't work for me. The problem is still there. I really hope this gets fixed in the Marschmallow update, I hate that I have to keep rebooting my phone.
problem still persists. sigh.
This is good news for me, I rooted mine the day I got it and thought it was ad blocker hanging up or something. I have to restart a few times a day to get by it.
The accessing sim notification is the worst though. That I wish I could fix.
Has anyone been experiencing this with the MM?
I can't recall this happening for about two weeks now.

Before to start, I need to make clear some points. 1) I dont speak english very well 2) I am not a programmer
The youtube problem I fixed deleting the app and installed an old version.
The problem with the camera what I did was, I installed MM, and I used the official Kernel to root but I didnt install the Xposed.
I hope it helps you guys.

I'm experiencing this with MM update (currently .182). Can't open youtube videos, take movies with camera, or use creative effects / sweep panorama etc. Reboot helps just for a while.
EDIT:
I discovered that problem with creative effects / sweep panorama is unrelated to video problems. After restart I can watch youtube videos and make movies with camera, but creative effects or any app related with taking photos doesn't work. Its interesting because 4k and Timeshift Video works. Any clues? Maybe i disabled too much preloaded apps, who knows.
I see that this thread hasn't been that active lately. Are you still experiencing this because I am, and it's pissing me off.

yup, I recently moved up to marshmallow and its still there. Ive tried every youtube version known to man and it still happens. I have to reboot so many times a day its ridiculous.
edit: I have noticed its linked to all video playback on the device, snapchat videos do not work without a reboot either.

Hello XDA!
I'm having troubles with my Honor 7 and the microphone is part of them...
It only works on a phone call (which is nice) but doesn't work when I'm taking a video, trying to talk to Google Assistant or thing like that.
Do you know how I can solve my problem?
Thank you for helping me!

What are you using for taking vids? Stock or a downloaded app? Google asst. has been giving issues lately. Try updating the asst. via Google play. If that doesn't help, try uninstalling and reinstalling it. If that fails, grab an older version from apkmirror.

Could be a hardware issue. I recommend you uninstalling the google app...clearing cache...reboot. reinstall Google App and reboot again.

Why not try a factory reset before reinstalling stock firmware. It's easier and in a sense achieves the same as a reinstall.
I am facing this problem which is not specific to any particular ROM. I have flashed lots of ROMs in last 24 hours but this problem seems not going away.
I am not able to call anyone nor can receive calls. Basically problem is in dialer app.
Also I am not able to stream videos whether it is WhatsApp, Instagram or YouTube or any app which can play videos.
P. S. There is no sound coming through speakers.
Please help...

Guys, Why the Sony Movies/Video app version 9.6.A.0.4 or any older version not working for our X model. It has features like Video minimise option and we can see every video thumbnails in single tab! Our X model has entirely different Video app. I don't want that app.
When i tried to install the above mentioned version app or any older one's the app closing even not opening for a second! Sometimes the app works when i cleared cache but the app seems to having a glitch and then it closes! Does anyone knows how to install that app without root?
I can use the app in my old Xperia ZR but it's not working in X!

I already tried disabling the stock video and video remote apps and then installed your app. Still doesn't worked!
Look for the problem on your device. Everything is OK for me.
Also, have you uninstalled the Movies/Video app itself before installing the mine one? They have different signatures, you know.
I cleared data and disabled stock video app and Installed your app but it's not installing. It says "App not installed". Mine was stock rom 8.0 with latest July Security patch!.
I once tried installing 9.6.A.0.4 and some below version at that time it installed but didn't opened for a second. But when i do cleared cache it worked for a little time and then the app had glitch and stopped working. I did this a month ago!

The deal is not in kernel, but in libs + Android version. Guess there is a way to make the new Video app work, but it'll require root.
Also, there is no good and lightweight alternative to Video/Movies app, sadly.
No need man. I installed the Video app from apkmirror. I don't understand why your app doesn't worked for me but i installed the same version app you gave me, from apkmirror and it worked! Thank you very much man. I never thought I can use this app in X dual!
I don't know what the problem is. But the thing is latest Video app from apkmirror do work but the app is having a glitch sometimes it closes saying "app closed". But when i deny app permission like calling and clearing cache, these tricks do working for little time! See the app glithc screenshot below! Ignore the yellow light i just activated night light app!
Okay now i am doomed now i don't have the video rotate feature within the app! What the hell is wrong with Sony?! Sony apps are not working on Sony smartphones?! Why? Why Sony Why?!?
