youtube app shows wrong video (same all the time) - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

youtube show different things :eek:

Hello guys
Every time I want to watch something in YouTube and we I click on the video that I want it show different one. I do factory reset and still the same
Anyone can help
Thanks
I know this is an old topic, but I recently got a tab and I'm finding the same issue. I've searched this here internet, but I can't find an answer anywhere.
Symptoms:
It doesn't happen on every video - sometimes I can go 5 or 6 vids without a problem.
When it does happen, it's basically like this - I select a video, and Youtube shows me some other video. The most common ones are:
a grainy boxing video
a clip from a Rob Schneider movie
some guy loading a machine gun
a group of women doing aerobics;
Others include
a baby watching TV
2 hot girls dancing
2 hot girls kissing
I can get rid of them by hitting the 'back' arrow and then re-clicking the video I wanted. It works the 2nd time.
Additional info:
There's no repeatable pattern. I can select the same video on different occasions - sometimes the problem happens and sometimes it doesn't.
Just in the last couple of weeks, I was seeing the same with the Youtube app on my android phone (a flashed Captivate). I uninstalled Youtube (which didn't remove it completely - just reverted to an earlier version) and the problem disappeared.
As there's no option to uninstall Youtube on the tab, I tried flashing a ROM to see if that would help (Starburst). It didn't make any difference - I'm still getting the problem.
It only happens within the Youtube app. If I watch a Youtube video via the browser, the problem doesn't happen.
Anybody have any ideas?
Thanks everyone

[Q] youtube wont work on stock hero gsm

Hi. I have 2 hero phones and a desire hd, so I love HTC. Anyhow my dad and wife use the hero phones and recently my wife complains that YouTube won't work. It says this video can't be played. Almost all videos are like this. My dads says he thinks his is the same but I will need to check.
The phones are not rooted and run 2.1. What can I do to fix this. All YouTube used to work fine when the hero was my own main phone. Would rooting and custom roms fix this.
Cheers des
Just a update. Videos older than about 1 year ago play fine, but newer than that won't play. I have installed tubemate and I can use that to watch newer videos, but it isn't as good to use as YouTube app. Also YouTube on the internet brings up a yellow ! when I try to play. Cheers.
Is this normal or am I missing something. Thanks guys.
It is because the new videos are played in HD. If you turn the phone to landscape, there is a HD button at the bottom. Press that and you'll be fine ... I hope ;-)
sent with love from me to you
Ok I tried this on both the hero phones and still the same problem. I can't play videos less that about 1 year old. What am I doing wrong. Cheers
hix
same me
i sometime i can play on youtube, now,i cant use flash play video
No one can help us ?
Try running the videos through Flash from browser m.youtube.com not Youtube app
Normally these kind videos run if you un check HQ option in the landscape mode
Post the video URL here, we can check if it works with an updated rooted phone.
This works for me. Where you see the HQ thing shows up just tap on it and it works.

the (adb install YouTube_signed.apk) should be (adb install signed_YouTube.apk). Good luck.

problems with youtube app

Hi guys.I am running task and phantoms extreme stock rom which is pretty much just normal honeycomb 3.1 without touchwiz. The YouTube app that came with it is v3.1.1.
Its causing me a couple of problems. Firstly, not all videos which appear on YouTube using the browser appear on the app. Example I can watch the official video of a song called black and yellow on the browser but can't find it on the app. Secondly 90% of the videos start with ads. Once the ad finishes,all I get is a button to replay the ad and the actual video does not start. I have turned off safefilter under settings but that didn't help either. What am i doing wrong? Thanks

You might need to delete and reinstall your youtube app.

video lag in browsers

hi guys,
looked through the fora but could not find something maybe someone can help me out.
I have bad lag when i watch flashvideos in my browsers. all of them same lag. standardbrowser, skyfire, mozilla, dolphin.
Anyone with the same problem and even better anyone a solution?
Yeah I started thread couple week ago. It's in a q& a section. Unfortunately, there's no solution as of yet regarding video freezing but sound keep playing when streaming on network. Playing on wifi works fine.
One thing I found helps is restarting phone before starting Netflix for example or watching from browser.
Also note YouTube app does not suffer from this, so sometimes if it's a YouTube video embedded in the Page I just click on video link to be able to watch in the app instead of browser.
Waiting for JKay mod on GT-I9300

Yes I'm also suffering this problem. On network or WiFi on all browsers. Pain in the arse!

Flash doesn't lag on the GS3. But it does freeze frequently. If it lags then very likely you aren't actually using flash but the html5 player instead.
Netflix app does not actually use nor is dependant on flash. Also uninstalling flash completely, so that videos that do play, default to html5, still freeze while sound keeps playing, which leads to conclusion that it's not flash issue.

Try ICS Browser+ from Google play...
Flash videos did lag for me initially, so I tried clearing the application data but that wasn't possible. So I installed flash 10, which was incompatible, then updated it using Google Play to flash 11 and it seems to work better now.

[Q] videos not streaming via chrome or internet on note 2

Hi.. this is my first post on xda. Not sure if im in the right forum topic.
Im using Note 2 -android 4.1.2.
Ive come across an unusual problem today. I tried streaming videos and none of the videos are playing on both chrome and the defalt internet app. I always used the default browser video player
When a video is clicked to play, the usual black screen appears but thereafter it just keeps loading with the circle going round in the middle (attached screen). But nothing happens. I have not installed any other apps since before nor any other mods.
What I have already tried.
I have resetted app preference under app manager and stil the same issue
Tried installing MX player and tried to load the strea ming video via mxplayer still same issue.
Appreciate your help.
Thanks
Denver
