i'm completely stumped here. my youtube app will not play video. doesn't matter if its on wifi or 3g. i've uninstalled updates and cleared app data and still nothing. i reinstalled my blazer rom just in case i may have deleted a system app getting rid of bloat that i needed with titanium, but still i have no playback. i've tried everything i can think of. any ideas what could be wrong?

Tonight I was trying to watch some videos on YouTube. I was able to watch some videos, but others force close as soon as I click on the video. It seems to be specific channels, but I can't say for sure. I tried clearing the cache and data with no success. I backed up the app with Titanium Backup and uninstalled and tried to download from the market but it doesn't show up for the Nexus (or my Xoom running or ICS so I guess its an ICS thing).
When I tried to restore with titanium, it took forever longer than normal and didn't restore the app, it just stayed at the screen saying restoring. I ended up having to restore my nandroid from the other day.
Has anyone had similar issues in YouTube? What about with restoring apps in titanium? I also had similar behavior with titanium earlier today when I tried to integrate the Google Maps update into my system ROm. Titanium stayed in the operation screen for a long time and never seemed to finish. However, after a reboot, it was no longer listing Google maps as an app with an update that could be integrated into the ROM, leading me to believe the operation actually did finish.
Edit: it appears the same videos are crashing YouTube on my Xoom too. Still no idea why the titanium backup issues are happening though.
WAIT ITS NOT JUST ME?
Thank god. I think its a problem on Youtube's end. I can't even get my subbed videos in the Home tab.
It FC when I click on HD videos.
Same thing happening here. The app also does not recognize my subscriptions, but my favorites show up fine.

yeh happening to me too
first my subscriptions were gone
then videos were crashing when i was searching for tennis videos (search term was 'wta') and a lot of videos were crashing from that result.
will watch this thread with interest
thanks
Am experiencing the same problem on 4 different mobile (galaxy tablets & phones) devices.
Subcriptions not showing up
Some Videos force closing etc.
All was fine yesterday.
Googled the issues and discovred that Youtube are forcing some changes.
It's happening to me also. First I thought it was a new mod I was testing out but it's also happening on my wife's stock Incredible.
I thought I'd be happier knowing it wasn't just my problem but the truth is, I'd just like to watch some videos.. lol
wow, while it's nice to know it's not my device kirking out, it would be nicer if it would just work. i don't have any solution, so just hoping youtube addresses it soon. maybe this is why youtube app isn't in the market for ics devices--it's not compatible yet. Although I am fairly certain that it was working just a few days ago.
im getting invalid package file errors when trying to download Instagram from the market. ive researched and done all the suggested fixes i.e. clearing play store data google services framework data, cleared bothe the cache and the dalvik cache and im still getting these errors. my wife and i are both having this problem right now, she is running rooted stock and so am i. does anyone have any ideas? ive even don a full wipe and re flashed my rom and nothing has worked.i really dont care that I cant have it but my wife is getting irritated wich means im getting really annoyed. any help would be greatly appreciated.
if there are no more techniques i can use would someone be kind enough to send me the apk? thanks again.
EDIT: all is well found an apk file.

I'd like to add a little to this. I have experienced this more recently while trying to update my apps. The more commonly known techniques did not work for me as well. Everything from clearing cache in the app and through recovery, to a lesser known trick using the browser and the play store website.
I did find that when all else failed, I toggled my wifi off and used my data to download/update my apps and did not have the invalid package issue. A technique so simple, I had to chuckle because I flashed and re-flashed multiple roms and restores. I was getting so annoyed at the failure of my app download/upgrades. So this makes me think it might have something to do with google servers and my wifi connection, which is strange since it recently randomly started to happen.
Just a little of my thoughts with this ever annoying issue.
For future reference, if u can't find the apk, there's an app called hideman. Its a VPN app. Just install that, connect to the server thats displaying, go to the market and install the app giving u the error. All those other solutions didn't work for me either but with the hideman app it worked beautifully.

I tried that briefly. I personally don't trust it. Switching on my T-Mobile data worked best for me. Thanks for adding another option though.
I have tried all suggestions except using 3g or 4g. My tablet is wifi only, it does not have cell service. I also tried hideman vpn and still get error. I am trying to get lotus map app. Contacted them they only knew to clear catch and data. Any help would be appreciated.
This started happening on all three phones in my house. So im inclined to believe its a problem with the play store itself

Does anyone else get this error on NI1? I was getting it every few minutes in pairs while trying to cram homework before class. So frustrating. It's happened ever since I updated to NI1. I thought it was because I dirty flashed using Odin, but I just factory reset and same problem. The only thing that worked was I heard uninstalling play services (rolling back) would work and it did, but reinstalling (updating) it causes the problem again. So I can't use hangouts and probably a lot of other stuff until I update, but I can't update unless I want to be really annoyed by error messages. Help?

Have to try to clear data/cache??
Yeah I tried factory reset, so data, cache, and dalvik were cleared. I also tried clearing data for Play Services, force stopping it, and uninstalling updates. Which is where I am now. If I do the update the problem comes back. It's so strange.
Are most people in US using the XAR image or the one for Canada?
I installed via the OTA 8.0 and performed a factory reset after the install. As I go back through and put my music library back on my device, it appears Google Play Music stalls out at different times during the download. I have Google WiFi, +200mbps WiFi and no breaks in my WiFi connection. I have attempted to do it the Apple way by not allowing the device to lock to keep the app active but it still is stalling out.
Appears to be an app issue but wondering if anyone has a fix I should look at? Thanks!

I've had similar issues in the past with Google Play Music. Have you tried deleting the app and reinstalling it? Are you using an ad blocker?

No ad blocker. I will try and uninstall and reinstall. Thanks for the advice!
Ok so over the past 2 days I've started having problems with app closing as soon as they're opened. The first app was the play store, anytime I tried to update my apps or tap on an app in the app store to look at the app it would close. Then it just stopped opening altogether. The second app was Instagram yesterday, it would crash as soon as I tried to open it. Now this morning Photos is doing the same thing. All three app started working after either uninstalling and reinstalling in the case of Instagram or returning to the original version shipped with the phone in the case of the play store and photos. I was able to do that by going to each app in the settings, disabling then so they downgraded and them enabling them again. I've have updated the photos app to the newest version and it's working again. My phone is stock rooted with the stock kernel. I don't have TWRP installed either. I do have the Swift black substatum them installed and am wondering if that could be causing the issue, however it's not applied to Instagram so I'm not sure that's the problem. Has anyone else had this issue and do you know what's causing it? I have not been connected to WiFi at all when this has happened and my cellular connection is good.

When using Substratum if you update an app it will usually cause issues since the theme is not for the newer version of the app. You need to disable the theme for those apps to get them working again or update the theme and apply it to the apps that aren't working properly. You may find that the theme isn't updated yet for some apps so you'll have to leave those stock after disabling the theme for them.
That makes since for the play store and photos. Would that also cause Instagram to crash even though the theme isn't applied to it?
