[Q] YouTube Uploads not working - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

All, I have dug and dug and seem to be the only one having this issue. I am running the 8/1 release with the Audio patch.
Issue: I cannot get anything to upload to YouTube. It attempts but never gets past 0% and then retries a few times before failing with a Network Error. I've got full Signal and can download, upload anything to anywhere else. I also connected to WiFi and am able to do same, upload, download to anything else... Can't load a video to YouTube.
I can watch YouTube videos from the YouTube App, it accesses my account and I cen see previous video.
Before this update I could upload to YouTube, that is the original Leaked FroYo.
My son took his first steps tonight and the HD quality camera videos will not send as messages so this is the best way I know how to share it with my family around the country. HELP!
Temporary Workaround: I mounted the phone as disk drive and pulled the video file, manually loading it from there. Old School method but it works. - I still need to know if anyone else is having the same issue and if not, WTF?

[Q] Flash embedded in articles suddenly not working

Weird stuff. Flash player works fine, always has. But all of a sudden today, I was reading the match reports on the BBC website and realised that the Flash player wasn't loading. However, on the sport front page, I could click on the direct video links and they would play.
I thought this would be a Dolphin HD problem so I tried in the HTC Browser, same thing. I then uninstalled the latest Flash Update, tried it, same. Re-installed the update, tried it, same. Reset phone, tried it, same.
Can every HTC Sense 2.2 user in here see the embedded video through this link? http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/eng_prem/9004741.stm
Anyone got any ideas as to what's going wrong? Anything else I could try?
No-one wants to try that link on their phone and tell me if the manager interviews are embedded with the text?
Pretty please....
On HTC 2.2 with root, no videos are showing up there for me (latest Flash player). Flash and JavaScript problems on the BBC site with this phone are common. So many BBC pages with embedded Flash simply crash my phone browser but I rarely if ever get such problems elsewhere.

Thanks for the response. It's actually crashing the HTC browser now, too.
As long as it's not just my phone/setup, I'm happy.

DRM license required

Okay since the last update I have had three occassions where I get DRM License Required in the notification area of my phone. I've done searches on the web and I see it is happening to Evo's but I haven't seen anyone report it here.
Any suggestions?

Never got a DRM message.
I archived my Itunes library. I edited the archive. IIRC i had to edit the titles to remove the invisible designator "." - I did this a long time ago and can't remember what block command i gave terminal to do it. I then transfered the archived library to the phone's sdcard.
Hope it helps.
Anyone else?
I also received this message. From what ive read online at other forums, the consensus is that it was caused by the new Blockbuster app. Most people think its a bug in the Blockbuster app.
I should also add, that i received this message after I got the 3.7 OTA update, but only after I added my own MP3s to SDCard. So perhaps the blockbuster app is looking for media on SDCard and found my mp3 files without DRM? My 2cents.
I get this crap all the time I just clear it out. It only happens to me on sense roms though .

Wow ive followed for a while and This will be my first post.lol
I get it on my EVO on rooted sense rom with launcher pro, i havent figured out what triggers it but sometimes there two side by side.
im back up the apk's & removed some sys app, maybe if i removed the blockbuster itll go away.
Hope this helps narrow it down.
Happens when I try to watch Fox news on the fox news app.
However only wireless, if I turn off wifi and use the 3G it plays without the error.
Somehow tied into the wireless ? I can make it happen over and over.
Sprint Nascar app
I got the DRM license required for the first time since I've had my Evo 4g. I used Sprints NASCAR app today and got 2 notifications about DRM.

I can't use the nascar app here. Well to be mroe specific I have issues with it. It works fine without hitch for a while then I will lose the driver audio after say 5-10min of consistant listening. Sometimes I get the DRM error with it and sometimes I just get an audio playback message in the app itself when it kills the audio.
tried emailing back and forth with the developers of the app but they say it plays fine on their evo in house no problems.
oh well.
I get this anytime I close Pandora while using bluetooth for the audio. Makes no sense at all.
Removing DRM?
Has anyone tried to watch blockbuster downloads? I can watch it on my phone (EVO 3D), but only in the Blockbuster App, so I'm assuming there's some kind of protection on the file.
I copied the file to my PC and no joy.
If anyone has a good and free way to remove protection I'd love to hear it. I googled DRM removal but all I got was 100% scammy, free-trial type websites.
Thanks in advance!
Hi, I took a video with my htc evo and it won't let me view it. When I try to play it a popup says "Sorry, this video cannot be played. Then I get a notification that says "DRM Notification - License required. Does anyone knows what's wrong with this thing? thanks

[Q] Upload and News Widget Problems

Hey there,
I own a HTC Desire HD running a stock 2.2 Froyo build with HTC Sense.
I have 2 problems.
1) My upload does not work properly. I cannot upload photos, videos or share anything via any app. For example, if I want to upload a photo to Facebook it would go to a random value Eg. 86% and then freeze there.
I also face the same problems in the web browser. I can browse fine but when it comes to posting in a forum, uploading or trying to enter values into a search engine, it fails 95% of the time.
This problem doesn't have to do with my connectivity as I connect using my home Wi-Fi network with full signal strength and uploading works fine on my laptops/desktop.
As far as I can remember, I have always had this problem.
Any fix for this?
2) My second problem is that the News widget by HTC has ceased to update and when I try to update it shows up as being updated even though the date shown is one week ago. I have tried to unsubscribe from feeds and resubscribe but it gave me an error message saying I could not unsubscribe. I'm guessing this might be related to Problem 1.
===============================
I really don't want to do a factory reset on my phone, so if there are easy fixes to both of those problems, it would be appreciated
Bump. (Sorry if this is against rules, tell me if it is.)
Please help me or at least give me a fair idea of what problems I could be facing. Thanks ^_^

The KIN Twom and youtube

So ok here goes. I was playing around with the kin Twom and it's browser. So I went to the YouTube mobile site m.YouTube.com.it tries to play the videos but fails saying the phone can't play the video. Until one video. After clearing the cache and trying again sure enough it came. Right up. The name of the video was called lucky shot and it was the top favorites of the day. But it played. And played fine. Now I had no clue the kin could do this. So I tried youporn without any success but at the same time it sill attempts to play the file. Anyone else been able to get a video to play. I mean it looks like its supposed to but just not completed. Let's get to testing...
EDIT: I've been able to load some more sites. So I'm going to start a list of working video sites. Take into account that these sites only work when the planets are aligned and I'm assuming because it's the night of the super moon lol. But keep clearing cache and keep trying. The porn sites I list are only because there are very few mobile video sites that dont require HTML 5 or are device specific. So please don't judge me too harshly. It seems that 3gp and mp4 works for the most part.
www.porntube.com
www.YouTube.com
www.zoovision.com
mobile.traileraddict.com unbelievable quality near hd
m.revision3.com near hd quality fast site too watched an entire episode of destructoid
sap.splol.com/videos.html slow to load and audio is off?
Sites that don't work
m.comedycentral.com
m.funnyordie.com
Although i found the above quite interesting.. why dont you just post the link?.
You passed the no linkign limit and hell, just paste the vid id in other case.
How many "lucky shots" can be on YT? ****, it's not "a complex name that will identifiy a vid better" title...
I have watched lots of videos on Youtube. No problems at all!
Instead watching some *cough* porn *cough* on the Kin, a smarter approach would be to use wireshark or any wifi sniffer so you can get the MIME type of the request and response to the kin from this flash-usage websites.
Just because flash can have (much) more access to a filesystem that html and javascript.. you know..... ... and we can code flash and so.....
My kin plays videos fine. I've used youtube since I got the device. Occasionally it won't play the video. Or sometimes it is VERY laggy. At first I thought it was perhaps my internet connection but after trying it on my schools network(Which is business class and has download speeds of over 60mb/s) and encountering the same problem I decided it was the device.

I'm currently working on that now just to no avail. It looks like flash is completely ignored so I'm sure it's just using direct link MP4, M4V, or 3GP files and streaming those instead. Access to the file system (without bricking the machine) would be the most useful at the moment. Though I'm sure with as buggy as the firmware is it shouldn't be too hard to exploit the machine. It's just to get those who know what to do with an exploit into assisting us. Think about it. This machine is only $50 right now and doesn't require a data plan so it's essentially an almost smartphone that doesn't require a data plan. And if we can get android on it then it will be a smartphone without a data plan LOL. So I'll keep testing.
The reason I didn't post the link was I really didn't feel like hand typing the entire URL to the video when I found out very quickly while posting the video that quite a few other Youtube videos work just fine as well but it's really a crap shoot.
My Kin two m is terrible with videos. I've tried the wifi at home and work, both are fast networks, both are terrible on my kin. On youTube I get a second of video, 15 seconds or more of buffering. What's worse is that the videos don't even seem to cache so if you manage to stagger your way through a whole video and then start it over, it buffers its way through the entire thing all over again. The media player often freezes up my browser too. The other times the phone just says "PLAYBACK PROBLEM Can't play this video on the phone." For now I'm kind of giving up on watching videos on this phone.
Try clearing your Browser cache in settings and rebooting the phone. Also try mobile.traileraddict.com and let me know how your phone does there. If they play correctly then it's probably a localized YouTube caching issue. That just means that most videos you are attempting to view haven't been viewed much in your area. It happens with quite a few videos for me. It's the way that YouTube does it's video delivery service. The more people watch one video in an area the more likely it's going to be stored on a local node. It's also the reason some YouTube videos on your PC load quicker than others.

Hi! Thanks for the tips. I tried clearing everything and rebooting. youTube still lags like crazy. I didn't know that about the way youTube caches. That's a bummer. Just watched the Cars 2 trailer at traileraddict and it played all the way through, looked great too. Wish it wasn't so picky about where it gets its videos from, ha.
m.collegehumor.com doesn't seem to work. Gives a "This page cannot be displayed" message.
What I've found its....
From my experience on youtube with the kin 2, I've found that higher quality and longer videos (like around longer than 5-7 minutes) end up crashing the video player (or coming up with an error). I usually don't watch youtube on the kin for that reason (that half the videos I want to watch like minecraft videos don't work) but at least we know that the kin wasn't completely abandoned of youtube playback.

I think it's the playback format provided by the site that's causing the most hangups. I'm looking into making a site that would essentially provide stream links to the MP4 480-720p formats that are provided by Youtube but not streamed to this device by default. The format should work and it's going to be based on ps3youtube.com which is somewhat similar (sort of). For now I'm going to check and see about m.collegehumor.com. Check and try the regular collegehumor.com and see if it automatically switches to the mobile interface version of the site. Let me know how you guys fair. I know most people are going to give up but I'll figure out a way we can enjoy the KIN Two to the fullest.

Yup but I've noticed that if you go straight to http://collegehumor.com then it correctly picks up the device as a mobile and works just fine.
The device exports mobile description through IE data.
So in short, you can get the OS info from the javascript code.
Read only, and very briefly, all being said.

[Q] Youtube App: This can't be viewed

Hey, I receive a message on my agalxy Nexus that says *This can't be viewed* when im on the home tab via the youtube app. Anyone have any idea what this might be? other people say they don't get that error. Screen shot attached
Not sure what may be the root cause of this issue - I assume this happens every time you try to use the app?
If so, you could try clearing the YouTube app's data to see if that resolve the problem.
Beyond that I've got nothing...
I wonder if it has anything to do with user's not allowing certain videos to viewed by a mobile device. Can they do the same thing with a list?
Maybe it was due to me flashing a radio? I mean everything else works but that app.
I would think that if the radios allow data to be transferred, it shouldn't effect the data transfer through youtube.
