You, Sir or Madam, are a godsend. This solution is so ridiculous, i would never have been able to guess it. And no-one on the whole wide internet seems to have discovered this either. This error has been driving me crazy! Thanks!
Also, i made an XDA account just to say this.
Fix playing Netflix video (There is a problem playing the video. Plse try again (5.8)
Go to setting, select wallpaper. Select its default (still wallpaper), not any animated or other still wallpaper. Select the default wallpaper for, Home and Lock screen. Then, click set as wallpaper. Restart or Power off. On your tab, walah...magic. Your Netflix video will run smoothly. It works like magic, as simple as that. Mine is Samsung Galaxy Tab S, Android of course. Try it. It solved my hectic & stressful life without Netflix for days.

This is so amazing and weird at the same time! I changed the wallpaper to to default on my Samsung C9 pro and Netflix 5.8 error went away! Strange things are possible. Thanks for helping out.

Hey everyone! I'm new to the forum and just received my g tablet today. I followed the instructions for installing cwmod and tnt lite 4.40 and everything went great. However, I've run into a few issues. When trying to download angry birds it hangs at 15%. I have tried multiple times to kill the download and restart it with the same results.
I'm also new to Android. Is there a way to set things up so my gmail is not accessible to anyone who picks up my tablet? I could also use a recommendation for a good video player that plays .avi files. Another problem I'm having is that whenever I try to play a music file in either the native music player or winamp, the app crashes. Everyone told me how much better android is than apple but so far im not that impressed. Can anyone make some recommendations so I can see the full potential of this tablet? Thanks in advance!
I just upgraded from 4.2 to 4.4.0 and don't have any of the issues you are referring to. I was previously getting a couple of force closes that I don't have anymore with 4.4 which makes me happy. I just confirmed movies play, but I don't have any songs loaded to test that. Hopefully someone here with greater knowledge will chime in quickly. You made a good choice going with Android - don't give up hope. It does take a little more effort to get it setup the way you want it, but the beauty is that you HAVE a lot of choices which iOS does not allow. You'll get there, and then you will love it.

Have you tried clearing caches? Wiping data? Many times those two simple things (which are usually recommended procedure after flashing a new ROM0 will clear up all kinds of problems.
With the latest TNTL you should be able to activate the lock screen. You'll need to set up a shortcut through your launcher to a security settings screen that isn't shown by default. That will allow you to enter a password, pin or unlock pattern.
Update: Just realized camera isn't working either. As for the Angry Birds problem, I have downloaded and installed other apps with no problem but for some reason Angry Birds hangs at 15% - super frustrating! Also, is there a way to do a screen capture? Thanks in advance!
I had a similar problem
You really need to check the error code to verify. I was having a similar issue and I found an article to resolve my issue.
This worked for me but like I said you need to check if you are receiving an error when attempting to install.
I would only do what this little fixit instructs to fix

The caveat with the android over apple is the versatility and personal control over how you get to use your device. That said, it requires a little bit of effort, research, and frustration to get it all to work perfectly if you choose to use the latest builds. If you want the least amount of problems use the most stable build (which is usually not the most latest build) Once you get use to it, using the latest build with bugs won't be so intimidating and frustrating...maybe still frustrating

If the camera is not working, you definitely want to do a data wipe (this is a GTablet, correct? I ask because VEGA and Adam users have tried to use TNT Lite before, and their cameras would definitely break).
As for screen capture, I used ddms (in the Android SDK).
Another silly n00b question...
Stock ROM, no changes have been made on my gTablet. When I go to YouTube.com, and try to watch a video, I get the error message, "Cannot play video. Sorry, this video cannot be played." Am I supposed to have some sort of an app for playing the videos on YouTube? [I have Adobe Flash Player 10.1 installed, in case that info is helpful to you.]
Thanks for all of your help, wonderful folks at xda-developers!!! I promise, as soon as I can watch YouTube videos, can change the wallpaper (that's more of a "want" than a "need"), and can find an app that works that will show me a count for multiple Gmail AND POP3 email accounts (a definite "need"), I'll be done asking you guys my silly questions! I promise!!
Did you do the OTA(over the AIR) update? Try this first and reboot.
Thanks you for responding, tings. Yes, I DID do the OTA days ago and have have since powered my gTablet off and on quite a few times. it is showing the new updated version, as well. So that's not it. I DI manage to see one (random) YouTube video, but it was so choppy I couldn't hear or see (or understand) a word of it. I just tried to go to YouTube again and wastch a ViewSonic G Tablet video, and again received the "Sorry, this video cannot be played." I seem to not have something installed to play them.
Did you try YouTube native app? Did you also look into browser setting? You might consider downloading flash 10.2.
I myself having pixelation problem with flash video in my tntlite 4.4 win flash 10.2. My mom's stock ROM with flash 10.1 has no issue with pixpixelation.
Sorry, i am noob too.
Try downloading flash 10.2.
Thank you tings and Enectic, for responding! I will do that, and will tell you what happens!
Cool. Let us know.
Well, I had to get the apps store fix done first. Did that, and now have market and gmail and places and maps and a whole bunch of OTHER apps I don't want on my gTablet. Then I went to the market and it couldn't find flash 10.2 (or any other versions). Then I searched for a few other apps I was interested in looking at (like Gmail Unread Count), and it didn't find THOSE either. I'm having a very unproductive day and am getting frustrated. I've been working on finding answers to my questions for 7.25 hours, and have come up empty. I can't figure out how to install my own wallpaper design, I can't watch YouTube videos without getting an error code, and I haven't found an app that will tell me how many unread emails I have in my POP and GMail accounts. I'm 0 for 3 today!
You didn't have to do the market fix to get 10.2. Here's a link to a direct download. Just download and run it directly from your G-Tablet or download it to your computer then transfer it to your G-Tablet.
http://www.mascobz.com/direct-download-flash-10-2-apk-for-motorola-xoom/
THANK YOU, Enectic! I appreciate your getting me the link. And yes, I now have all this other stuff I don't need on my gTab. I guess I'll leave it there for a while , and if I don't use it, I'll remove it. [I "thanked" you on the Thank meter!] Wow, maybe I'll now be 1 for 3 today, on my list of things I wanted to do with my new gTablet!
Adobe Flash v10.2 installed (from my PC to the gTab), and it's showing as installed and the correct version on the applications listing in the settings, but I'm still getting the "Sorry, this video cannot be played" error message when I go to YouTube and choose some random videos. Any other suggestions?
No prob, sorry it still didn't end up working for you though. I'm a new G Tablet owner too so still learning myself. Not sure what to tell you, hopefully someone else will be able to help you with your problem.
I have the same issue with the updated OS and YouTube. Is this related to the tablet having no official Flash support?
I am having a similar problem with the videos on my woot tablet. Sometimes they will play and the next time won't. Will never play the king Kong video and once I try and get the error then no vids will play without powering off.
Edit: My second woot tab with no ota works fine. Only a problem on the one I flashed to 3588 since updater down. Now flashed to two taps 9.02 and still the same trouble.
Try this fix in the browser
I went round and round with the Adobe Flash problems. Then I saw a post that said this:
Open the browser
Make sure the full menus are showing (with the address bar showing)
Touch the settings icon to the far right of the address bar
You will three "modes" for viewing among the settings
Select the radio button for "Desktop" viewing
Return to the browser
I did this and what-do-you-know, flash-based movies starting working!
BTW, I received the OTA 4349 update and afterwards, I noticed that I could then use "Tablet" viewing in the browser and the flash movies still worked.
Hopes this helps!

Have you checked your browser setting to make sure you are viewing in desktop display rather than tablet or phone. That was my problem when I had a similar problem.
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'm not rooted. Can the flash apk be gotten somewhere other than android market? I couldn't find it on amazon market but I'll keep looking elsewhere.

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.
Rick
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
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!
So I updated to RC1, currently on faux's kernel.
YouTube still doesn't work, I tried clearing data too.

I was having a problem with it also on rc1. Videos wouldn't play, clicking links just gave me the loading circle. I forced closed, cleared cache, cleared data and uninstalled. Went to play store and reinstalled, and now it works flawlessly. Maybe the same steps will help you.

Alright so I just did that, videos play now but I'm still unable to play in HD over wifi. Does HD work for you?

I haven't tried that. Ill give it a whirl and get back to you.
Edit: works for me.
I just get the message saying "There was a problem while playing. Touch to retry."
It doesn't show up when I turn HD off though.
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.
I was wondering if anyone else has ran into these 2 problems witch a hunch tells me are related.
When I search google images i cant click on the pictures to enlarge and scroll. When I open netflix it loads and scrolls just fine but i cant click to search genres watch movies etc.
It is a Nextbook 7se with resisitive touch screen SN:YF0312... Has anyone figured out a fix? Thanks in advance.
Also completely unrealated and please dont stone me for asking but would it at all be possible to stick gingerbread on this tablet im not the biggest fan of ics
same issues
I just installed ics on my nextbook premium 7 (sn yf1211xxxx) and having same issues.
Google images - can't click often but clearing app cache solves this.
Netflix 2.2.2 - can't click anything including titles or buttons, even yes/no if I click bck to close app. But I can scroll and the titles can be panned.
Also get cert errors and playstore stops working requiring a clear of the google frameworks cache and a reboot to resolve.
Netflix workef on 2.x before root and upgrade.
Anyone fould a solution for the netfix issue?
