I'm running Cyanogenmod 11 on my Mega 6.3. The attached pic shows YouTube while playing a video. Can anyone please suggest what is happening here, and a fix? Other videos in other apps play just fine.
Possibly also relevant; a couple of apps that need to play mp3 or wav files, at the point of having to do so crash, bringing up an error message. I can live with that problem, but I would like to get on top of the Youtube one.
Any thoughts, anyone? Cheers.

If you use an older version of Youtube, does it do the same thing?

Forgive me, I'm new to ROMs and flashing, I thought YouTube was baked in, I didn't realise it could be uninstalled and reinstalled! I've done just that, but of course the Play Store has only the latest version. Can you point me in the direction of an earlier version apk?

Here ya go just unzip and drop the apk to your phone and install.
I grabbed it from this post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44626173#post44626173) but should work for ya.

Many thanks indeed. I'm grateful. But sadly the same problem occurs, I'm afraid. Interestingly, this afternoon I downloaded and tried a couple of YouTube alternative apps. I didn't like either because they wouldn't play full screen, however they did play video perfectly...?

Update:
I've settled on "Video Tube", which does play in full-screen and which, to be honest, I think I prefer to Youtube, so I'm happy to stick with that. But the Youtube issue is baffling, and I'd now be very interested if anyone can suggest why certain apps, at the point where they have to play wav or mp3 files, crash ...?
There is no YouTube issue on cm afaik, at least not in the latest build....

Thanks. As a newbie, I'm presuming "cm afaik" is another ROM? It took me two full days to settle into Cyanogenmod and set up all my preferences, tweeks, etc. I'm not ready to face all that again just yet!
No. Afaik as in as far as I know....
If you are already running cm ROM, you just need to wipe dalvik/cache to update. You will not lose your data or settings...

Many thanks. I'll look for a tutorial on how to do that.
Process is very simple. Download ROM. Download gapps of your preference though I suggest banks core. Reboot to recovery. Wipe dalvik/cache only. Flash rom followed by gapps. Reboot.

Thanks again, but I have to remind you that although I'm computer literate I'm completely new to flashing phones. I have no idea what "gapps" are, so how will I know which I prefer?! And "Banks core" is Greek to me, I'm afraid!
And surely if I "Flash ROM followed by gapps", that entails then re-loading all my apps and data again, which I really don't want to have to do?
I'll leave it for now, but I'm grateful for your help nevertheless. Cheers.
That's ok, but trust me when I say that you will not lose any data.
Gapps is Google Apps. Banks core is a gapps pack made by an xda user BaNkS. You will find it here. I like to flash just the core package which contains only Google playstore & Google play services. All other google apps i need, I download from play store.
This is just for your info...

Thanks again. I'm certainly interested to learn all of this. I just don't want to learn by messing up all my settings, or worse still bricking my phone, in the process, that's all!
So what exactly IS the dalvik/cache? Are you saying that I could boot into recovery, wipe the dalvik/cache and then come out again, and my setup, data, settings, etc would all still be fine? In which case, would it be a good idea for me to do that? What does wiping the dalvik/cache achieve?

Credit goes to BrwnSuperman for finding these and then I took them and put them in a cwm flashable zip. So, I figured I would post this in the Development section (Mods feel free to move it if you see fit) since many of us are on mtd roms and most of these roms have been updated to the new 2.3.5 Android code. Here are the updated 2.3.5 GB gapps: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?67t2077vf4q3zd6 Included are the new gtalk, new car home, new market, updated google search, and all the rest of the little system service apps etc. that can't be downloaded from the market. All (I think) updated to 2.3.5. Flash from cwm recovery and enjoy.

just noticed that i have not installed GAPPS since i first came on board on the 07/04 build, i also installed the new market..not sure if that has anything to do with it......so has anyone else installed the new market and from there havent had any issues? running the 07/28 build....and still the new market works...
Can't Google apps be updated via the market...I flashed the one listed in the OP of the CM7 thread, but have updated through the market, so are these newer than that?
Also, if I am on CM7 7/18 winch is Android 2.3.4...would flashing this screw up something?

Well, I know google talk can't be updated through the market and yes, these are the gapps that came from the nexus 2.3.5 code release earlier this week. All the little google services apps are updated as well, not just the main apps. You can just wipe cache/dalvik and flash these but you might have to erase the old ones manually.
Can I remove some of the apk that I am not going to use in the gapps.zip?
Just installed on latest CM7 (not the nightly), runs good. I've been wanting this new gtalk, if only it could be updated via the market. Thanks thanks

So I hope I am not the only one with this issue, but when I flash it either on CM7 or JTs AOSP 2.3.5 rom, after I select what apps I want, the loading just keeps spinning and spinning until I rotate the screen, then I select to install, then it keeps spinning again until I rotate back, and I have to do that with EVERY app during the initial app installs, and this was also after a complete wipe of DATA, cache and Dalvik

Hi
unfortunately it's not availiable on my market either by searching or browsing developer.
YouTube - Google Play link
In case it says "This item is not compatible with your device", check the attachment.
Also, you could install other gapps zip, for example: GAPPS 4.0.4 from [ROM][KANG]CM9 ICS 10.1 WiFi Preview
Thanks a million. I tried the link and it told me the unit was not compatible with the device altough the unit is exactly the same as the one where is says that it is compatible. Unfortunately it doesn't send the app to my unit.
I tried your apk and it seems to be made for smartphone with the app being scaled and no video wall on startup.
Either way thank you very much. Do you know whicb gapp to aim for in order to have the youtube.apk? I followed their guide and it only gave me one downloaf option.
edit : i just re-read your post and you did in fact suggest a version of gapps. thanks again
I tried the one from gapps and it force closes as soon as I tap on a video.
What ICS ROM are you using and what method did you used to install YouTube from the GAPPS zip?
I have the same problem. Aokp build 27 + gapps = no youtube.
Market -> youtube incompatible.
Had Youtube Remote (also from Google if you don'y know it) in my Titanium Backup (on the market is incompatible too) and it works fine.
Got to use "pinch" to go fullscreen, took a bit to find out.
Just flashed hydogen ics through cwm. flashed latest gapps 17-03-2012. but can't find google maps and youtube in menu.. can't see them in google play. tried manually n it says this app doesn't support ur country. please help.
no one seems to have a solution to my problem?

Google Maps isn't included in GAPPS, just download it from the Play Store.
Why don't you post on the Hydrogen ICS ROM page instead of wasting people's time in the Q&A?

Just wondering if anyone has got adobe flash player to work on CM9 Beta? I'v been trying around with pretty much every version avalible. I have not seen much about it in the CM9 Beta dev thread. I hope people dont take this as an attempt to be pushy about it, I'm just wondering how to progress is going. The CM9 Beta from zeubea is very much appreciated and I'm very thankful for it.
It will not fully work but you can still install it.

Here's how I make mine work :
Install 10.3 apk, which is actually flash 11. After installing don't open just reboot.
You will find flash setting in your app drawer. Just do whatever setting suits you
Flash will work only on the stock Google browser. I tried with opera next it dun work.
Now just go to bbcsports football and try. It works all the time for me.
It works, don't get me wrong but it doesn't work well. Flash videos on the internet lag like a ***** to the point where it is unplayable. I'm using version 11 (or so it says)

I did what you said ndmuni and it's still not working.
I downloaded it from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1340773 which I thought should be the right version.
The app said 10.3 not 11 as Stevemotto mentioned.
I then uninstalled and tried from the same thread I found the first one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23663364&postcount=28
That one said 11.v11.0.1.153 in the app.
Still the same result.
I tested BBCSports football with the original browser and the result has always been it tells me to download adobe flash player and it links me to adobe saying
I got the wrong verison.
It's really hard for me to give this one up as I know that some live streams I watched before worked fine with another rom, and when you guys says it works for you.
I would really appreciate if you guys can link me the page where you downloaded your version. It would help me narrow down the possible factor that I might still have the wrong version.
Thanks for helping me out.

Hey guys, as zeubeas rom is still in beta0 and there is still some issues with the 2D drivers (something to do with debug), plus most of codecs are still broken, I have also tried most of the versions of flash available with out much success. These issues I suggest could also be related to cm9 itself, from what I've seen our ics is ported from an RC anyway and not from a stable version. Hopefully this is a fixable issue, and not one of those non fixable issue.

if it works then try again installing app again..

if only you are having this problem then.. start from the scratch again.. and install ROM again by following steps provided in OP's post..
