Why doesn't YouTube work on any custom ROM? - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Did anyone notice this problem or it's just me? I didn't see this being discussed, and it's really annoying. Every custom ROM I tried (GB,ICS,JB) won't play videos on YouTube app, just shows me play button but when I click on it nothing happens. Do I need some codec or it's just like that on custom ROMs?

It's because of new youtube app. For Youtube v.4.5.17 videos works very well ^^

VJs, Evervolvs, CM7 official, Cool Droid, Pixel Droid, Nikez Lente ICS....can't remember more, ATM I have VJs CM10.1 and I'm using older YouTube Areen suggested.

I've tried some of them, right now Im using ParanoidAndroid (4.2.2) v3.6 , with no problems
...and I'm not sure about this, but did you flash gapps?

..
I had similar problems with youtube app on Vj's AOKP rom.. so i shifted to using tubemate instead.

New Youtube has a dynamic video playing feature, like on desktops and laptops (you can go with changing quality of the video without stopping it) and this does not work well with our device (at least on some JB roms, on GB roms new app works really well ^^). Older youtube apps does not have this feature like v.4.5.17 or older, but I recommend this version, it's perfect

[MOD] [720p HW PLAYBACK] libOmxVdec.so (removal of h/w restrictions in playback)

best 720p solution yet.
Just want to inform all desire owners of Diceplayer.
It dosent support our phone (they say).
But it works flawless if you patch
libOmxVdec.so
wich is meant for the nexus-1.
Since N1 and desire share alot hardware i figured it might also work for our desire.
IT DID!!
This is my first thread or even post on xda.

What Rom Does it Work on?
GB/FROYO - Sense/Non-sense?
Apparently what it does is, it removes restrictions in the h/w decoding. I think the devs of cyanogenmod should look into this and integrate it into their libs.

I use it with cyanogenmod. So yes. Not sure with other roms but i suspect the libs are the same with sense roms.
The modified lib brings h/w hd functionality to other players aswell. Free alternatives like qqplayer. Probably other players also.
Someone should hint the devs of cyanogen to integrate the functionality into their roms. Devices that are capable. The Nexus-1 and desire.
Just tested it on Rcmix 2.0 sense rom still lags
So basically it will work on GingerVillain 2.7, too? Well, I'll try and see.
Playback yes iirc, but isn't 720p recording Sense only feature?

You must use a player that uses hardware rendering. Default setting in many players are software rendering. Change to hardware rendering (in player).
it worked, but messed up the weather vids on cool sensation though.
hi to all,
just tried the patch and i would dare to correct the OP, well at least in my situation, 720p video playback didnt become without lag, however, now its less laggy. im using GB rom, Rcmix 2.0 with CM7r2 partition table, and class 10 16GB micro sd card (reading writing 11mb/s, reading 22 mb/s). so it has nothing to do with the card, however, as i said there much less lag now but videos are still not as smooth as i used to have on 2.2 based ROMS. but if htc release proper GB rom then maybe developers will be able to do something about it

You should write, which rom/kernel you are using. Otherwise your information is very senseless.

Well. I am using cyanogen kernel and nightly rom. I have a class 10 sd card (sd-booster 2048).
I am having good results with 720 mkv video (diceplayer and qqplayer).
it works..!
took quite awhile for me to get SDK adb working.. but now it works so smooth!!
either on dice player or native player!
kudos for TS
PS: im also on CM7 rom and kernel, S2E a2sd, and stock 2GB SD card
work on leedroidhd?!
Would it work on Insertcoin stock GB rom?

no idea of other roms aside from CM7, but i suggest to do nandroid backup, and then follow instruction inside the link from 1st post..
@OP - Are you part of dev team for this? I ask because you seem very keen to get this integrated into CM and you seem to have a lot of technical info.
BTW, I tried it on CM7.1RC1 and find lag. The "News & Tips" page you linked to does actually state though that 720p does lag at present until possibly the next update.

If you manage to load the lib correctly (works in cm7, thats all i know) you should feel big difference from regular software encoding players like rockplayer etc.
Shure. there are some lags. But as i stated before. noting in comparison to software enc. based players. Very large 720 mkv may lag. But a typical 4gig 720p mkv plays well.
No. Im not in the dev team. I just been searching for a solution to play hi def mkv video. And this is by far the best solution.
What i do is every time i reflash my rom (cm nightly) i replaces the lib from first post with the one included in cm7 .zip file. /system/lib/libomxvdec.so
For testing this you must make sure diceplayer or any other player, is set to hardware encoding. Otherwise no improvement in playback.

any major problem using cm9 or cm10?

i am thinking of getting cm, anyone know or experienced major problem when using it? w
Sent from my SGH-I747M using xda app-developers app
Not at all. why what kind of issues are you having ?
cm9 is awesome and i had no issues. Haven't tried CM10 though since I'm quite happy with the AOKP JB
I haven't been able to get streaming video apps Netflix and Plex to work. Apparently Youtube does, although I haven't tried it. This is really the only thing keeping me from running CM10 or the Jelly Bean AOKP rom as a daily driver. There are some LED issues as well, but it seems that both devs are pushing out a fix for that tomorrow.

Does Netflix not work with CM9, CM10, or both?
Bluetooth does not work on the Jelly Bean CM10 or AOKP yet.
Also, there is no option for audio out of USB when docked.
Netflix does work on my CM9 AOKP flash, but I get audio delays. Others say they don't have this problem.
Does anyone know if APT-X Bluetooth codec is going to be supported with CM10/AOKP?

youtube not loading video

I recently flashed a cm10 rom and ever since then YouTube will not play video without setting HQ on. Is this a cm10 specific bug? How can I fix this?

If its not happening on cm9 I would say its a cm10 thing... not sure but when I ran cm10 that didn't happen... that I remember anyways....

[Q] CyanogenMod 10 YouTube HQ Lag

Hi,
This is my first post, so sorry if this is in the wrong section or i've done something wrong !
I'm pretty much a noob when it comes to this sort of stuff, but I flashed my WFS to a CyanogenMod 10 and everything is working perfectly apart from HQ videos. This bugs me quite a bit because youtube is probably my most used app. I've tried reflashing my ROM but nothing seems to work. So im just wondering if theres any way to get YouTube HQ videos working or are there any CM10 (or 9) versions which I could use which can play HQ videos. I just love CyanogenMod too much to go back to stock, so I hope there's a way I can sort it out.
Thanks a load!

Same here, hope someone find a solution! For your info theres a ROM called JellyKing and its cm10 based you shall check it out. I cant install anything from Play Store but it may work for you!
On slim CM10 MOD , HQ working very well on Youtube.
But when i just installed CM 10 with CM 10.1 features , i have big 2 seconds lags.
I didn't saw some differents about that two mods, so why on that first everything its ok, but on that second, youtube HQ is just a s...

1080p Playback on Beanstalk 4.4.278

My Acro S is running Beanstalk 4.4.278. Great rom so far but 1080p playback (specifically on MX Player) does not work. Freezes and reboots my phone when I try. 1080p recording with latest Google Camera works like a charm but its frustrating I can't view any of them. I haven't tried playback on any other video players though. I removed the video player that came with KitKat or the rom btw so I can't try that too.
Any help or advice?

Just tried it (since I had never tried it before you mentioned it) and it works fine. The video is a little juttery, but I can live with that.
Running BeanStalk v4.4.285, on the same phone.. Kernel is 3.4.0-Evovle-v1.11+ [email protected]
I think you might want to upgrade to the latest version - that might fix it.

Thanks for answering
Any notable bugs on 4.4.285? I might upgrade if that will fix the playback problem and if there aren't any annoying bugs..

There are two that are a bit annoying (again, not everyone has these though, so you might get lucky).
1. Sometimes when a call comes in, the screen will either stay blank and take a while to light up (by which time the caller has hang up)
2. Sometimes streaming a video online (with any player, not just MX) will crash and force the device to reboot when you try to exit watching the video.
These are the two major issues that I find on my phone. Never the less, I still prefer this version to stock, so I have been using it for more than a month now and I am very happy.
