Hey!
When I try to play live videos on youtube I get a "there was a problem while playing" error after I click "play"... and that's it.
I cleared the YT data, uninstalled updates (when I try to play live videos w/o updates, YT app just crashes) and installed updates - didn't help. Then I cleared data, uninstalled updates, forced YT to stop, disabled it, rebooted my phone, installed updates... nothing works. I run Android 5.0 on LG G3.
What's funny is that I can watch live streams on youtube through the browser, but can't watch them directly through the youtube app.
2 of my friends have the same problem on G3. Is there any fix? Are there more people with the same issue?
Cheers!

I am in trouble. I have a Note 2. I am not able to update apps via play store. This is happening from yesterday. Though I am able to update Chrome, Facebook, flipboard, dropbox and a couple more apps but I am not able to update any other app for example twitter, whatsapp, astro, google maps, street view for google maps, youtube and all the others. But when open the play store site on my computer, and then update from there then the update happens normally. But I am not able to update from my phone. Tried to reset the play store apps several times, tried factory reset 3 times but the problem persists. Its getting frustrating and I dont have a single clue asto what to do now.
Should go to the service center and get a new software installed ??
Guys please help with your suggestions.
Hey folks,
I have a strange problem with the YouTube application where I cannot get preloading to work. Essentially, I am simply checking the "Preloading subscriptions" and "Preload watch later" under the "Preloading" menu in the Settings. I understand it will download my videos once I am connected to WiFi and charging. The interesting thing is that it initially works and starts downloading the videos, and I see the green and white arrows on the videos in my channel feed indicating that the videos has been downloaded or is in the process of doing so. However, the preloaded videos will end up clearing (whether I watch them or not) at random times. I have tried different iterations of things to determine what is going on and the one definitive thing I notice that is happening is that the YouTube application is randomly signing me out. Every time I notice that the videos are gone (memory on the SD card gains about 500MB), I go into the YouTube app and the "Signing In" screen appears, and then my Channel Feed shows. Usually, YouTube is always signed in (never see the Signing In screen) and this random signing out only occurs when I enable the Preloading features, oddly. I understand why the preloaded videos get cleared, as YouTube needs to have the account logged in to know your Subscriptions and Watch Later list. Once logged out, YouTube starts cleaning out the preloaded data. This is logical, but counterproductive to this feature and seems like a bug. Yet, in my searches I have not found anyone with this similar issue. Also, I have had my device and using YouTube for a year, but never used the preloading features until last week as I just stumbled on this helpful feature.
Sorry about the long-winded description. Basically, the bottom line is that when I enable the Preloading features, it causes the YouTube app to log my account out at random times, which makes the preloading features useless. Has anyone ever had this issue and is there a solution?
I have a T-mobile Galaxy SII with the Stock non-rooted ICS 4.0.4 ROM (baseband: T989UVLI4). I have tried clearing the data on the YouTube application, uninstalled and then re-installed the updates, but so far the same behavior persists. Any help/insight would be greatly appreciated.

Did you recently update the Youtube app, because the app has had quite a bit of bugs lately. And you could try a substitute app: Tubemate that you can download on their website (google it). Tubemate lets you download youtube videos.

Ah, actually that is interesting. The latest update was on 2/22/13, which I have done, and looking in the reviews on the Play Store, I see folks are having some different issues that were not present before the upgrade. One recent post from a Galaxy S3 user posted about the application randomly signing out after this update. So, perhaps that is the issue where it is just an introduced bug in this latest version. I have just noticed this now since I was just trying out Preloading the first time a few days ago and this has been the only issue I have had. I do not know if Preloading worked before the upgrade as I never enabled it before.
Thanks for the insight. :good: I will just not worry about preloading for now and wait for another update which hopefully addresses the random signing out and possibly make the preloading work.
In fact, perusing more reviews in the Play Store for the YouTube app, seems to have a lot of complaints regarding the app not staying signed in. Clearly, this is the issue that is breaking the preloading functionality. Folks are also complaining about the YouTube widget not working as well, which is also related to the account not staying signed in.

Since the Lollipop update Friday, my Amazon Instant Video player has crashed whenever I try to view a video (Error Code: UNKNOWN_ERROR). It worked fine before Lollipop.
I've rebooted, pulled the battery, uninstalled and reinstalled the app, all to no avail.
Does anyone else have this problem and/or have a solution?
(This is the only bug I've encountered with the upgrade.)
I've solved the problem. It seems to have been a consequence of the Google Play Services problem I and others had been seeing (Play Services was crashing when the phone reboots). As others suggested, I cleared Play Services cache/data and solved that problem.
That didn't fix the Amazon Instant Video problem. But when I then reinstalled Instant Video again (I had done so earlier, to no avail, before I fixed the Play Services problem), it worked properly.
Well, this is frustrating. I did a factory reset (wiping the cache from recovery both before and after), and when I reinstalled everything, Amazon Instant Video was crashing again. This time, nothing I've tried has helped (clearing cache/data, reinstalling the app, et.c).
I found the solution on an Amazon forum.
The preinstalled (and unremovable) Amazon app needs to be manually updated by going to www.amazon.com/androidapp and installing the Amazon app from there (it installs the update). Then, download the Amazon Instant Video app from the updated Amazon app.
I have video issues in Google photos, instagram and tumblr. It plays maybe 1 or 2 seconds then there is a unlimited loading or a skip to the end to time index 27:xx:xx. Video Playback in Youtube or Chrome is just fine. Local videos in Google photos also working fine. Anyone else with this problem?

With one of the latest updates (not sure if it's the NBA app or MIUI 13) I lost the ability to watch NBA games on the official app.
I still can start the app, see all the content including video summary of the games, but what I want to watch a full game (live or later) a popup appears telling me to enable location services for the app.
Of course location services are enabled (and have been from the very start). I tried disabling them and enabling again, restarted the app, restarted the tablet, reinstalled the app, even went nuclear and restored the tablet to factory default - nothing helped.
Any ideas?
