YouTube hates me :(

mine is also doing the same thing. i first noticed it 2 days ago.

 

Mine as well, it seems to be hit or miss.

 

Just checked the Moment, no problems...so, it's not a 1.5 or Sprint issue, must be Sense or htc.

 

huh - Just checked and no Youtube here either.

 

same here, on my hero they don't play but they play fine on the verizon droid

 

Anybody have any ideas on what is going on here? This is still happening to me?

 

Odd. I CAN play videos, but only if I play them after searching for them (I tried playing the same vids from the opening screen and then a search ) and then not in high quality via EVDO nor WiFi.

Re: blampars - Not rooted.

 

Yea the ones I do get to work I try to change to high quality and then I get the message "This video cannot be played"

 

Having the same issue. Also noticed this started about two days ago. Couldn't figure out what the issue was. Any help would be appreciated.

 

HTC Droid Eris owner here...and same exact issues as the above posters....I noticed it after the OTA update that came through a few days ago...strangely enough, videos were working Perfectly a few days ago.

Another strange thing - after searching around all sorts of forums, I notice youtube issues are not just for specific type of phone, or a certain carrier...if someone has any insight into this, would be so happy b/c quite honestly, it's driving me nuts. Especially when a fellow ERis phone user near me has no issues using the youtube app.

 

I have called Verizon (who says they have received calls about this) as well as HTC (the tech I spoke to had the same issue on his "test" phone he had with him believe it or not), and they had no answer for me....also checked youtube specific forums and have noticed threads from all sorts of users (i phones, blackberries, etc.)

I have tried a full factory reset, traded in for a brand new phone, and STILL experiencing these issues...

Wondering why it's just with some users, not all, and so scattered across phones/carriers...

 

there is another thread on this floating around. I have not been able to play 90% of the videos without error for the last three days. Really starting to get on my nerves. I have to fire up my laptop just to see a vid. I hope this gets fixed soon.

 

I too am getting this error. I have got a one to play but not in HQ. HQ works fine on WIFI so must bee a Sprint network issue.

 

i was having this problem as well this is what i did and it started to work again lmk if it works for you guys aswell

menu>settings>applications>manage applications>youtube>clear cache

 

worked on the first one I watched then the second started doing the same thing..... but on WIFI I have no errors

 

Using the ashton kutcher and ijustine video on the front page for example, I cant play that video through the youtube app, but I can play it if I go to youtube.com

 

I went on the HTC website and asked them to look into this issue with youtube. I hope youtube, phone companies, and device companies get this sorted out. On my Droid Eris after the Update it never works the first time on 3G, and when it does work just plays on low quality. On my home WiFi connection it's hit or miss on the first try and does play in high quality setting.

Hard to look cool when you want to show someone a video clip on your new phone and it doesn't work. LOL...

 

double checked it again today and it started doing the same cannot play pop up

 

Maybe its something Google is doing on the backend to update the website and interface. I just hope whatever it is, it gets fixed quickly.

 

Same problem here, been having it for a few days.

IT doesnt dicriminate against Wifi either. Or HQ or not.

 

Mine doesn't work either. Not on 3g or wifi, can't play any youtube.
