i hope they fix this soon, i can't stand watching these videos in such poor quality. i need the HD to work so i can actually see the video.

Is there an updated youtube app anywhere? Did google create this app?

Its definately the update. I had no problems before the update and now its very rare I get one to play and if I do, its in low quality.

I had the same problem with some vids until I turned the phone horizontal and selected the vid.

Now it plays fine.

Not sure if it'll work for everyone but it works for me (for now).

Do you have wifi turned on right now? It works for me everytime with wifi on.
In 3G, it stopped working after the OTA update. I just tried a video 13 times and it wouldn't play. I turned on wifi, waited for the wifi logo, and the video loaded on the first try.

Tried 5 videos the first time I launched the YouTube app, and each time it said it couldn't display the video. Came back half an hour later, and all of those same 5 videos work. Videos had various durations.

Wifi enabled and connected both times, mobile network enabled both times as well, same background apps (gmail, handcent, etc.) running both times.

Here's something interesting I noticed though: In previous threads, people mentioned that if the YouTube quality was low, you could hit the [menu] while viewing a video and change the video quality to "high". In my YouTube app, though, when I was able to view the videos and therefore access that menu, the videos were already in high quality (I had an option to change to "normal" quality instead.)

Could it be that after the update the videos default to high quality, but you don't always have enough bandwidth to watch them that way? And if you can't start watching the video, then you can't change the quality setting.

Seems to work better when I have a stronger signal.

I've narrowed the bug down to some specifics and will be notifying HTC, Verizon, and Android over the next couple of days, starting tomorrow. I have outlined some workarounds for the time being....

I had some luck by checking the setting and my content filter was on moderate it seems by default. I set to do not filter and the videos started playing flawlessly. I hope this helps.

I had the same problem with my phone. But after rooting and adding nonsensikal 16.1. all my youtube videos play in HQ just fine.

hi
i am using htc wildfire with andorid 2.2
i am t mobile network
my youtube in mobile was working fine before i had wifi facility
it stopped soon i got the virgin media connection
as far as wildfire t-mobile and youtube is concerned
i think t-mobile detects the wifi availability and does not allow to access the videos on their 3g network as its a waste of their network data

i think this is the main reason only youtube stops playing videos
the other websites will be available on the mobile except for videos on youtube
my youtube on mobile started playing videos once i stopped 3g and got connected to wifi on virgin media

i think its a good idea of tmobile to save the traffic on thier network

if you are away from wifi network i think youtube on android should not give any problem as previously before i had wifi i used to view and download huge vidoes on my mobile itself

bye
