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.
Hi there!
i've spent quite some hours on this one but still cannot seem to find a solution. Problem is that the Youtube App only allows me to watch 60fps Videos up to 480p because everything above would be 60fps and thus doesn't get shown.
im on the latest official 14s eui Rom btw.
things I have triedpen Youtube in Browser,edit build.prop to Fake being another device(seems to be the most common thing which works for people,didnt seem to make ANY difference for me),installing older Youtube versions (tried 5+ different ones even to back when trending wasn't implented)
would be very grateful for any help!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hello, this is my first time to encounter this problem. I have a My phone Agua Rio Fun, a local Philippines smartphone brand ( android 4.2.2 )...running on a Google nexus 4 based custom ROM (android 5.0).
Yesterday, when I've downloaded this ROM and tested it on my android I'm satisfied with its performance.
But when I've downloaded YouTube (from play store) and update Google services, it seems that all videos in YouTube is in a fast forward with a sound on it...
All of my media player is working and it seems this is just happening in YouTube app. Please help me to solve this problem, also to know if the custom ROM is causing the problem.
I'm looking for a solution for a video playback problem my LG-H930DS (SEA) has after the 8.0 Oreo update. When I start the phone everything is working well, but after a few minutes of normal usage the built-in videoplayer cannot play video recordings made by the phone itself. It says "Cannot play video - This file type is not supported" Then I have to restart the phone to get it working again. But it fails nearly every day. I wouldn't mind this failing because I can choose a different app to play the gallery videos, but the problem is that Snap-chat videos fail to play as well when this happens, until next restart. That's the bug I cannot have. Also when the phone gets into the state of not playing videos, the ringtones and alarm clock make no sound.
To start the problem I only have to open a few random web pages in chrome, open the gallery a few times, play some videos , and in a few minutes of this usage video playback crashes. MX player, VLC and youtube still work though.
I have done a lot of troubleshooting for this problem:
Full restore of the phone
Flashed different firmwares, H930DS20b, H930DS20d, and the european variant H93020d
Tried with no apps installed, other then preinstalled ones
Tried it in safe mode
But the problem always remains.
I always use the same google account. And after upgrading to 8.0 the problem does not seem to start until I restart the phone for the first time, after that it's constantly failing. Don't know if it starts when the memory gets close to full or not, but nothing else is failing on the phone.
I have now downgraded my phone to the Android Nougat 7.1.2 (H930DS10d) and this problem is not there, no matter how hard I try to replicate it.
I can only find one link on google where this problem is reported. (problem #6)
I have contacted LG Support, and they had never heard about this, and wanted me to send my phone in for repairs. But I'm not willing to pay for shipping from Europe to Asia, if this is just a software problem.
Is someone else getting this problem, or does know a fix or a workaround for it? Or is there a way for me to view the errors the phone is running into?
Sorry for the long post, hope someone is willing to read it and give me a little help
I finally found out what the problem is. It's actually just media files in the storage I use every day. These files only contain audio, but have the extension .ts. Video playback on the phone fails because the gallery is trying to create thumbnails of them to display. The workaround for the problem was to place a .nomedia file in the folder containing those files, to hide them from the gallery. After that the problem stopped. I've been using these files for years, and it has never been a problem until Android 8.
have you tried some other video player?
stock one is quite basic and thin.
Hi, yes I do use another players, but the gallery is failing video plaback in snapchat and stopping ringtones and alarms from working aswell, without using the stock player.
Same problem here with LG V30
I have the same problem with my phone I have the T-Mobile V30 and I have the same issue. I figured out not to take videos in 4k [email protected] works fine. But the moment I create a video at 4k it either starts playing and stops midway with sound continuing to play with frozen picture or it just says it doesn't support the video.
I've been using LG phones ever since the G2 and never had any other phone or any problems with them. This one though is getting really annoying.
I hate these Q&A format threads with a passion. I wish people would just open regular threads...

Have you tried other video players like VLC, MXPlayer?
Yes sir I did many players and VLC is always on all my devices and it also gets stuck. I'll try the .nomedia file and see how that works
And I have a problem with the smoothness of video playback in gallery, whether it's a bluray movie in mp4/mkv FHD format, or from camera in FHD or in 4k is always on Android 8.0 I have a delicate jam, how would he lose single frames every 0.7sec ~ 0 , 25sec. I came back for testing on 7.1.2 and it is perfectly smooth always, as soon as I updated to 8.0 version 20d or the latest 21h there are jam ... how b was an oreo error, quite a few friends did not catch up with this problem, I'm a perfectionist and I look at every detail whether it's a video or sound, that's why I chose the highest model of the phone.
LG releases more patches (already 4) and as soon as it appears oreo are staples. You can see that this is a pfroblem with support for video caps because MX Player also has micro jams on the hardware codec.
Interestingly, youtube is fluid.
I only hope that the Android Pie will be improved.
I'm having the same problem as well please let me know when you will find the solution to this problem of smoothness of video
At first it was running smooth AF but after some time i noticed the problem after 1 day of use.
Reseting the phone didnt work.
Hi,
Yesterday I bought an redmi 6a. It is out of box miui 10. And just after 5 mins got an update of 1.2 gb. After updating while swiping on the homepage of YouTube it is so laggy.. not that much smooth. And while searching videos it lagging so much but the videos are playing smoothly.
I discovered that only YouTube app is lagging.
Except it all the phone running smooth and we'll.
Is this an software problem what do you think??
And is there a way to fix this temporary?
I'm using YouTube Vanced. It fixed the YouTube lagging issue for me
