YoiuTube App not working - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Is anybody else having problems with the YT app? I have wiped everything and re-installed CNA twice, removed the app and reinstalled 5 times and cleared all caches. It plays for 5-25 minutes of a video and then will buffer and say it can't play anymore. YT in Chrome works fine though.

[Q] Youtube won't play. Stuck in loading circle.

I'm running on AOKP M3/Franco 15.2
Whenever I try to play a youtube video, it just hangs at loading. The loading indicating circle just sits there and this happens both on 4G and wifi.
I tried clearing data/cache but it still does the same thing. The weird thing is, I can play videos fine within browsers.
Same thing happening to me today. was working fine yesterday. Suddenly today nothing. Stuck loading then errors out.
No update, no new apps installed. Works in the browser, not the youtube app.

[Q] Crackle not working after ICS upgrade

Anyone else running ICS have an issue with Crackle?
I can't figure it out...
Reinstalled Crackle several times. Also reinstalled Adobe Flash. Both programs are the latest version from Play. I wiped cache, repaired permissions, etc. No dice. The application starts, but everytime I try to play a movie, the screen goes white for a second then is replaced by a blank screen. No video and no audio.
FWIW, Netflix streams just fine and Flash video works ok when using the browser or YouTube applications.
I believe Crackle worked just fine with GB but I can't recall now. Not a huge deal if I can't get it working, but it would be nice if I could.
Any suggestions?
Mine is working just fine

I too have this issue, and have not figured out what is causing it yet. Yes, Crackle does work fine with GB. However, I was thinking, but might be wrong, but it could have something to do with the Kernel version. The only reason I was thinking that is that I have stumbled across where you cannot install Crackle on a FF18 Kernel. It is just a thought.
I'm watching Crackle now! Did you factory reset after you upgraded to ICS? Install all your apps fresh from the market?

Yes, factory reset and the whole 9 yards. I downgraded to GB from a nandroid backup that I had and Crackle worked again.
I had the same problem but I just fixed it a few minutes ago. Go to the Play Store and install Adobe Air. That's it.
I did that and then opened Crackle and it works now!

Music app not working

I recently bought one of the unlocked fire phones and added google play, all the services, etc. to it and so far everything has worked fine. i tried to launch the music app today for the first time and it wont open. the phone does not respond at all when i touch the music app icon, so i download prime music app and tried it but it crashes right after launching. this is the only problem i have experienced so far and was wondering if anyone else has had a similar problem or knows how to fix this problem. thanks!
I also just recently bought one of the unlocked phones and had a similar problem. The first night I got the phone I transferred a bunch of media from my old phone including my music and was able to use both the music app and Prime music app. Then the next day both apps went dead. I tried all the usual stuff like clearing data and cache, reinstall prime etc. but nothing worked. Unfortunately I had to resort to a factory reset on the phone to fix it. Ever since then (around two weeks) they have been working fine.
My only complaint is for some reason the default music app doesn't show album covers for some of my music while they all show in Prime music.
I know why the music apps stopped working now! After adding the Google Play Store there is an update offered for Amazon Prime music. This update will kill Prime and the regular music app on the phone. I just installed the update a little bit ago by accident and sure enough both apps went dead. Went back to the play store and my apps and clicked uninstall on Prime Music and it uninstalled the update and now both are working again.
Same happened to me. Just make sure to disable auto-updating within google play store to prevent it from happening again.
what version of the app does work? can someone link this app to me ?

[Q] YouTubs app problem. Anyone have issues with video playing fullscreen?

I tried searching, and couldn't find any threads about this.
When browsing in the app, YouTube displays fine. However, when I load a video, it cuts off quite a bit of the video. An ad will play fullscreen, but the video will not. This wasn't a problem before. It just started happening today. I tried rebooting the ATV (center click + play button hold) and that didn't help. I cleared YouTube's cache, that was of no help as well. I'm wondering if I'll need to try reinstalling Youtube.
Picures of what I'm talking about are attached.
I'm not sure if it helps, but I am rooted on Software Version 51.1.1.0_user_511070220
Thanks for your time.
Uninstall youtube and update latest root firmware., then reinstall youtube.
I noticed this exact same thing last night however it wasn't on every video, only some of them.

I have started seeing the same problem with my FireTV Stick YouTube App. It did not happen earlier.
I tried uninstalling and re-installing YouTube App, but it did not help!
Anybody know how to fix it?

it did and i also adjusting the screen resolution on dispaly panel in settings.
I found one workaround.
When the video is cut-off, press menu button (three horizontal lines) on the remote once, that will take you to the search screen. Then press back button to go back to your video which should be now be either less cut or full screen. If its still cut-off, repeat the steps one more time and it will be full screen.
Annoying but works for now!
If you don't want to update to the latest pre-root, then completely uninstall YouTube and reinstall. Most people believe that simply uninstalling then reinstalling works, but doing so often leaves traces. You must clear the cache and dalvik to ensure it's cleaned from the system. Here is how to do it.
Uninstall the app through the settings. Reboot to CWM and clear cache and dalvik. Reboot. Then reinstall the app. If this doesn't fix the screen issue, then you might want to try updating.

Yesterday this started happening to mine also, strange it only affects certain videos.
My AFTV is unrooted and uses standard app, only posting to re-enforce that the problem seems to have suddenly appeared.
I will just keep an eye open and try and narrow down which are causing a problem.
This recently has been happening to me and it's on all videos. The YouTube app has been acting weird on my tablet as well, but less frequently.
hm, I left it alone for a while and now it seems to be working. that's fine and all, I would just like to know what caused it so that we can fix this if it happens again, or is still happening for others.
thanks for your input everyone.

All video freezes after Marshmallow update

Stock ROM, not rooted. Device worked fine before Marshmallow, now Netflix and MX Player both freeze video after approx 10 seconds of playback. Netflix customer support was no help but it really does seem to be something that Google broke with Marshmallow.

OTA or fresh install? I did a fresh install and don't have any problems.

I have the same issue with Netflix - audio streams fine but video stutters and then freezes after a few seconds. MX Player works perfectly for me though. Youtube also works fine, and I've streamed baseball games and highlights from the MLB AtBat app without issue.
I'm rooted and updated to Marshmallow using an OTA update file.
Other than the Netflix issue I find Marshmallow fantastic. Everything seems snappier and smoother. USB OTG mounting works flawlessly, even after uninstalling Stickmount. Battery drain during sleep is almost zero. I also no longer have resolution issues when outputting video using a SlimPort adapter - I used to need a ResolutionChanger app but no more.
My feeling is that the issue is with the Netflix app - it was updated for compatibility with Marshmallow but it is probably in need of further updates. Here's hoping.

Aha! Good to know. I did a no-wipe update using NRT. After trying to revert back to 5.1.1 using NRT no-wipe, I ended up doing a factory reset
I'll try to upgrade now and report back.
On my Nexus 7 the apps BBC and ESPN along with Netflix and Google Play Movies & TV are all show video issues. The video on BBC and ESPN will only show in the lowest resolution (144p), while on netflix the video stutters and stalls while audio keeps going. On Google Play movies & tv video lags but only while streaming, if I download a movie it plays fine.
I made a bug report on AOSP issue tracker #189772 I have a feel that the issue is apps not caching correctly since the update to Marshmallow.
IDK...otherwise I love Marshmallow...I miss viper.
Running
ROM: Bad Boyz Nexus 7 stock rooted v2
Kernel: Elementalx 5.0

Sorry, Netflix is still freezing for me. However, other video services work fine.

i did a clean install. directly after flashing the 6.0 factory image, and installing the netflix app on the fresh sytem, everything works fine. even after rooting it is still working. but as i left the N7 alone for some time and then started netflix it started lagging like hell. without having canged a thing...
you need to disable battery optimising for video apps, as soon as i did that videos worked as usual.
settings, battery, three dots(top right), battery optimisation, tap not optimised then all apps, select the video apps and select Don't Optimise.
I havent tried all apps but it work for me on google movies.
Disabling battery optimization did not help for me with Netflix, unfortunately.
Same issue. Netflix freezes with marshmallow update Nexus 7 2013. Sound will continue to play, but video stutters and freezes.
Turning off battery optimization does nothing.
Any other suggestions out there other than flashing back?

There has been a recent update to Netflix (3.15.2), has this addressed the issue?
Sadly, the latest Netflix update has not resolved the issue for me. All other streaming apps have (so far) worked fine. This was after a clean flash, stock everything, and a factory reset after discovering the issue, just to make sure.
The new Netflix update didn't resolve this issue. Every other app is working as intended.
Netflix and Google Play Movies and TV still stutter and lag while espn and NBC News video will only show in the lowest resolution. MX plays fine when playing a video file on my nexus, idk about streaming. All my video issues come solely when streaming.
Same issue here. Nexus 7 on Marshmallow fresh install. Everything works but Netflix. Battery non-optimization didn't work
Just got a Netflix update and while the issue isn't entirely resolved the app stutters a lot less, to the point that I would deem Netflix to be at least marginally watchable.
It's still freezing after a couple of seconds with the new update. Archer on Netflix was running fine, but Dr Who is freezing.
Just to add to the count, Netflix borked on Marshmallow. Awful stuttering. Clean install i.e. deleted all caches etc. and started as though it was a new device.
Just got off a chat with support:
So, yes I confirmed and we are currently testing it. You should get it working once we are done

Basically they are aware of the issue and are testing a fix.
I also have a video issue, but it is different. When I watch Youtube, many times the video will freeze while the audio continues to play. I've tried FC'ing the app, restarting, etc... but the video part of the playback keeps freezing. If I let the audio play eventually all playback will stop and it will tell me that it is buffering.
This does not happen on any other device on my network... just the Nexus 7. This has been happening since Android L, and even after I did a clean install of M. Any suggestions?
same here, the new update didn't solve the problem. but at least its good to hear that netflix is working on it.
