this may happen if you have ad blocking software installed

Because youtube plays ads at the start of the video if you have ad blocking software installed it will block the ad and come up with that message

Keep pressing touch to retry and it will eventually play the video assuming there is an internet connection

I do not have an adblocking software, but adblock host file might be there....
But let me try first, what you have said.....

I assume you have flashed gapps if you are using a custom rom as the latest version wont work without google services and if you have got any ad blocking software and that includes host files and so on it may stop the latest version working as it includes ads

using adaway is fine - you just have to press try again a few times - any others may stop it working totally


also check your internet connection - if on wifi try on data only and vise versa

Maybe the host file in /etc is modified to block ads.
Try move a stock host file in /etc.
