Video and youtube will not play - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

I am on GB27 and having a problem with video play back. Ive actually had this problem with several roms; most notably the GB08 etc. After I install the rom i can play videos from ESPN etc for a few days and even youtube. However after about a week I can no longer do so. When I try to play videos i get a, "playback not supported" error and youtube will give me a "connection to server lost" error. However they both work on WIFI. Does anyone have any idea what is going on? Is this a rom issue? Ive tried to google an answer but have been unsuccessful.
Thanks

Youtube on TMO TP2 not working?

I have the right services but for some reason youtube has ceased to work on my TP2. Has anyone else experienced this? If so any fixes or suggestions?
Mine is working fine. I am assuming that your worked before and now its not working. Maybe try retracing your steps?. You might have installed something that broke it.

the only thing I've installed recently is the Midomi song recognition program... Would that of caused this issue?
on mine it didn't
Thats funny, I have installed Midomi, and noticed that if I go to youtube through it, when I click the links/pictures, nothing happens, if I go direct to youtube it still works. I had been meaning to post, but you beat me to it!
Sorry to go off topic, but is that the best software to identify a song when you don't know the name? What about Shazam?
Tried uninstalling Midomi but still can't access youtube
Sorry for the bump, but i was searching the forums to see if anyone else is having troubles with youtube.
Got my unlocked tp2 yesterday. None of my videos load. I'm connected through wifi. I can see the vidoes but when i click on them to play it just stays at the "connecting" screen and eventually says "connection failed". I've tried multple videos.
I have not installed any applications, this was not working right out the box.

hmm, slightly different here - my 'out of the box' tp2 on tmobile does the youtube app fine via wifi but not through the 3g connection - just comes up with 'no videos' found when doing the initial search.
Do I need a specific data package with TMobile for it to work?

Mine doesn't work with wifi or data. I tried both. It might be the application. I'll look for another one and let you know.
Is there a way to uninstall this one?
I have been having the exact problem with my AT&T Tilt 2. The pictures of the videos in the Youtube App show up fine, then when I try to play one it keeps saying 'Connecting...' then eventually after a minute or two throws up an error message that says that the 'Connection failed. Please try again.'. Has anyone else experienced this and/or fixed this.
My Telstra T7381 used to work just fine with YouTube videos on 3G, now it only shows "Connecting....." then stalls out after about 4-5 minutes with "Connection failed. Please try again." It was working on stock Telstra ROM, now not working with the Energy ROM in my sig. This only happens using 3G, not WiFi - with WiFi, videos load perfectly.
I tried watching very short videos, under 10 seconds or so, and they connect and play, so that would mean it has an issue with the video file and not an actual connection, right? I just loaded a 42 second video in NO time once it connected.... it showed "Connecting...." for a few seconds, then 0% then 92%, and the video started playing! Unfortunately, that doesn't solve the issue I have with videos that are 2:30, 4:10, etc - they just won't connect using 3G!
EDIT - here's a link that should help some people out on AT&T. THIS WORKS, follow the steps and get YouTube working again!!!

It's becuase the app doesn't know which connection to use for "The Internet" go to the connections tab and rename your ISP to "The Internet" that should do the trick.

[Q] YouTube and other videos error

I have searched for a cause of this but so far have not found anything.
I, along with 2 others I know that have a Droid Incredible, am constantly getting the "Sorry this video cannot be played" error with YouTube. 2 of the phones are stock 2.2 and 1 has a SkyRaider-Sense rom.
Is there an issue with youtube on the Dinc? Is there a way to fix this?

Are you guys getting it with every video, or just on a few that will never play? I know there are some that have an issue with not being able to be viewed on a "mobile device".

[Q] Google Music Streaming Problem

Anyone else having issues streaming music via Google Music? I've been using Google Music flawlessly with my Evo 4G for many months now. Just switched to a Samsung Galaxy SII Epic 4G Touch and I can't stream from Google Music anymore.
I can sync to my account and view all my uploaded songs, but when I hit play on anything the green circle appears for a few seconds as if it were buffering, but then just disappears. The song starts downloading however as indicated by the advancing progress bar on the bottom. Once the song is fully downloaded the song will play. But no immediate streaming....
Also, sometimes I get "failed to play requested stream" error.
Same experience via WiFi and 3G connections.
Tried uninstalling/reinstalling the app, clearing data, etc. Also tried current market version of the app, as well as 4.0.1.
Running rooted Starburst ROM v1.8.
I think it has something to do with Starburst, I've been having the same issues since I installed the ROM. Try messaging Phantom about a fix, he puts a lot of work into Starburst and would probably be interested in finding a solution.
I also have the same problem, everything was wokring fine, after i updated to CM7.1 also I update to Music 4.0 on my Nexus S streaming is not working anymore.
I tried reverting back to Music 3.0 but still had the same problem.

video playback errors on streaming sites

Hello Everybody!
I recently flashed my Samsung tab e to Lineage 16. I love everything about the new rom except for one thing, I can't seem to play streaming video from a site called philo. I've done all the usual steps, including, deleting browser cashe and app permissions. I just can't seem to get it playing again.
Has anyone else experienced this issue? Any other streaming sites not working for you?
Does anyone have a possible solution?
