Works fine here. Model (3rd/4th gen), size (7/9 inch), ROM and other basic details are needed if you want further help.
It's a 3rd gen 7 inch tablet from 2013 I think

If still running FireOS v4 (7j years old) then YouTube app will likely fail. Sideload a standalone browser such as Opera and enjoy YouTube that way.

I am running v4.5.5.3 And by likely, you mean that it would Probrably not work on it?

FireOS v4.5 is a highly skinned Android 4.4 variant that is 5+ years old and does not natively support Google core apps. Nor is it easy to load Google Play Services which the YouTube app leverages. So yea, it will *probably* fail.
I've seen other people here have been able to get it working along with the THOUSANDS of youtube videos on the topic. These videos don't go in depth on say running a video and just show them installing the app. Are those other people running v5.1 or something?

Well, given there are "THOUSANDS" of instructional videos it should take you no time getting YouTube up and running. I'll just step out of the way a let the experts lead the way ...
Tip: look for videos specifically targeting 3rd gen HDX hardware (screen size doesn't matter) running stock FireOS. It's doable if you don't mind investing hours, dealing with an unstable device and possibly spinning up a 'soft brick' depending on the methodology employed.
Alternatively, root/unlock and install a custom ROM + GAaps
Alternatively, sideload a high quality browser like Opera and play vids there
Alternatively, use a different device running near AOSP such as the Onn 8
Choose your poison wisely. Good luck.
Use browser.
Youtube app sucks since 2018
Older version stopped working after api updates 1 year ago
With silk browser you can choose video quality and get dark mode (the trick to enable its simple, open youtube and switch to desktop version , open configuration menu and enable dark mode,after that switch to mobile version and there is , full darkmode youtube)
If you wanna youtube app, Skytube works fine,you can see your suscriptions videos/ trendings and see comments.
You cannot see live streamings and comment,but its ok for me.
I have tried side-loading Youtube Vanced and NewPipe on my stock HDX 3rd, neither work. Vanced does the weird glitchy playback like you describe, and NewPipe just errors out. As others have said, I imagine it's because of this old Fire OS we're running.
Browser playback works fine. There is an Amazon app store app called 'Video For Youtube' that also works well, it even allows you to sign into your Youtube/Google account. It's free (I'm not the dev.)

I have installed the calkulin+clemson v5 combo and it works great....Super fast and stable. However, whenever I'm browsing the web and come across a video, the browser crashes. Doesn't matter which browser (the default or dolphin HD.) The whole reason I have a Gtab is to browse the internet, so not have internet videos on this rom is a killer. For example, an embedded youtube video will make browser crash but using youtube app on same video will work fine. Any local video playback is also fine. If no one can help me this can someone recommend a better rom for ONLY browsing the web and sometimes (rarely) playing local videos? Thanks for any help!

Can't speak specifcally about v5 (which is bl1.1 branch), but I am running calkulin+clemson combo v6(bl 1.2 branch) and I have no problems. I can view any flash video from any site; Neflix, Youtube, Hulu, Amazon Videos, Crackle, etc (except Neflix & Crackle from their apps) from the default browser). Have you downloaded the lastest Flash?
It won't let me install flash 10.3 probably because of some compatibility issues. I'll check out version 6, wish me luck 'jumping the gap.'
Could someone link me to the proper way to go from bl 1.1 to 1.2?

If I rememeber correctly, I couldn't do a direct upgrade either...had to uninstall 10.2 then install 10.3
Wow aabbandanza. I just finished installing bl 1.2 clemsyn caulakin Ver 6. And I checked to make sure the embedded videos didn't crash my browser and it crashes . I came back here to post my depressed thoughts and I see that you had first uninstalled 10.2 and then downloaded/installed 10.3. Well, I did that and videos now work! I was turned off by doing something like that because in the release notes the OP mentions that flash VER 10.2.x.x.x would come pre-installed and I figured that I shouldn't mess with that version because it was the only one that would work....silly me. Thanks for solving my problem. Moving to BL 1.2 was totally unnecessary. I could have taken the 30 seconds to uninstall and re-install flash for the same effect! Thanks guys!

If you want to be able to watch Hulu, you will have to download the modified version of Flash. If interested, check this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1077914&highlight=modiefied+flash and download the latest version that will work with Hulu...curently 10.3.185.25
I wanted to play YouTube videos on my A7HT v1 and found that version 1.3 works.But the videos do not play in fullscreen.some are small while others are large. .I also tried using Skyfire browser but the video quality is bad in it.
Then i switched to 2.1 beta 6 ROM(you can find it at archosfans forums) and noticed that the YouTube app in it displays videos in fullscreen but the videos cannot play on any ROM higher than 1.5.
Now i have decided to decompile the 2.1 apk,copy the properties that tell it to play in fullscreen and paste those into the 1.5 apk.So can any one guide me on this.
Thanks
Make sure that your browsers are up to date. Im not much of a youtube user but I think that they just started using HTML5 for the videos as opposed to flash. So if the app is working but the browser isnt, that could be why. Aside from that, try to empty the cache for your browser or the app? This might not be related directly to your ROM, I have heard a lot of people (running stock roms) complaining that youtube has been broken on their android phone. Does it work in your stock ROM?
Hope this helps, but I doubt it haha.
Is anyone currently able to watch Hulu either on the website or through the Hulu Plus app?
If so, what Rom are you using and what version of Flash?
I can get to the website and start the video but so far after it plays the first commercial the video will stop, the audio will play but the video freezes
OR
It will play until it gets to a commercial, it will play the commercial and ten never resume playing
OR
it wont even make it past the first commercial, it will play the ad but will then stop playing and get stuck on a black image...
Ive tried CM7, Flashback, Vegantab Ginger Edition (couple different versions) as well as multiple versions of Flash...
Having the same issues. 1.1bl, Vegan Ginger 7.1, Vgeezyflash.API 11.0
Having issues too.
Using the Flashback 10.0 alpha (Honeycomb 3.1) rom and can't get hulu or most flash items to load right/
If I click around and end up hitting play I'll get sound on hulu, but that's all.
I think it has something to do with later flash versions using Hardware Acceleration and the gtab not supporting it or something.
I've tried the stock browser, Dolphin for Pad, Dolphin HD and Opera Mobile/mini all with the user agents set to Desktop.
I've tried flash from these locations:

I always get the same result.
The websites I use to test are, newgrounds, hulu and a google search for "fart soundboard".
On Hulu I only get sound, on newgrounds flash items are just a blank spot and the fart soundboard will make noise if i click on it but I can't see any of the buttons I'm pressing.
I've read other posts of people saying the have got hulu to work but they fail to mention where the got the flash apk.
Get the PlayOn Mobile app and stream it as well as many others right from your pc to anywhere your connected to wifi, been using it awhile now and until we can stream directly from the site, this is a GREAT alternative

Thanks for the tip!
Update:
Using Opera Mobile 11.1 (with the user agent set to "desktop" in its settings, from this post and the latest version of Flash Player 11 from the Android Market get's flash based websites like newgrounds.com and my flash based eTextbooks to work correctly! So that's a decent enough work-around for my issues.
Hulu.com works better than with any other browser but still won't actually play videos.
Hi
as of today i noticed, that the youtube app on my phone is not playing the videos i request. but instead it always starts the video that seems to be an advertising video for pet tamagochi android app
the old (and modified to download videos [rolletube] ) version also has this behaviour.
i noticed this today, after updating to the latest cm9 nightlie but it is well possible this has been for a while, i haven't been watching youtube for a week
Is my system infected or is there a youtube bug?
Help me please!

I've faced this problem before. Actually, I've figured out it was caused by the proxy apps i used ( Proxy droid and Auto proxy ). I used these apps because the internet service in the university requires authentication which is not supported by android for all apps. The only workaround I've found is after the wrong video get played, press the HD button and the right video will be played now. It worked for me that way but I lost the ability to play the right videos in HD.
I've had this problem since Oct 2011. what's freaking me is that most of the wrong videos it plays are too sexual. I and hundred other users highlighted the issue to Google but no response yet..5 months now waiting for their tech support..
What version of the Youtube app are you running? I've never come across this problem on my phone, and I have a Galaxy like you.
Okay, I am either losing my mind, or there is something seriously wrong with the Youtube Android app. I have a Nexus 10 running CM 10.1 (have also run PA and stock) as well as a Galaxy S3 running Beans (previously CM10). On both of these devices, Youtube can't seem to reliably play for more than 4 minutes at a time. Furthermore, any time I try to seek forward in a video, the player crashes. Finally, every time I click a Youtube link from another application, the video will not load; I have to go to a different video and go back to the one I was trying to watch. Is everyone having these problems? Is there anything I can do to help alleviate these issues? I was planning on using my Nexus 10 to watch online lectures on Youtube, but it will be of little use for that if it can't play more than 4 minutes of video and I am unable to seek to my previous location!
Try finding a way to uninstall the app and then reinstall it. Maybe using a apk file? It could be the YouTube app that comes with the ROMs on your devices are either very buggy or might be corrupted. My YouTube app currently works fine on stock ROM but I have not yet tried cm10 so I'm not quite sure. Hope this helps
Sent from my Nexus 7,
That's an issue with CM ROMs I believe. Had the issue on CM10. Try setting the quality to HQ in settings. That's the way it worked on mine.
Or alternately you can try tubemate app
Life!
