Hi, I've tried a lot of roms and I noticed that this error doesn't desapear.
When I go to m.youtube.com and try to play some video I get this error:

"Cannot play video.
Sorry this video cannot be played."

I tried every single rom and the issue persist.
Do anyone know how to fix this?

I hate the quality of the 360p "HQ" quality of the youtube apk. And the 720p apk doesn't work for me.


Thanks.

Which ROM are you on? Have flash installed?

Sent from my MB860 using xda app-developers app
Neutrino 2.9.1 and Epinter CM10 (nandroid backup swap), but i've tried nothatrix., max blur, cm7.2, MROM, Stock 2.3.6, Paranoid 2.0, Cm9, AOKP and etc...
Yes I do have flash, but i'm not talking about the flash version(desktop) I'm talking about the mobile version. "http://m.youtube.com".
Whitout the mobile version working I cannot play 720p via tubemate app.

Sorry, my english sux.
I learned by myself with games, movies and web surfing =\

If u have SQL lite app, u can open the database for Google services framework and in one of the databases there are settings for YouTube to use a proxy. You can try disabling it. Just going from memory. Let me know if u need more detailed directions. Not sure exactly what that really changes but worth a try.

OK, just changed the value from true to false, rebooting now...

[EDIT] After reboot I tried to see a video from xxxxxxxVEVO and the video just played fine, after that I tried another video and the give me the same error =/
Only "artist"VEVO videos are working for me, the oter videos just don't play.

[EDIT 2] Just founded 2 more "youtube" entrys in the sql:

Google Service Framework/gservices.db/main/url:redirect_youtube_from_sandbox_ytbt
Google Service Framework/gservices.db/main/url:redirect_youtube_from_sandbox_ytbs

I dont know what values I have to put.

[EDIT 3] Actualy I canot watch the video, what I was watching is the ad video, after the ad video I have the same error =[
Sorry my english sucks =/

I was searching for a thread about youtube problems and I found 4 of them.

Is there any solutions?!?!? I'm on Neutrino 2.9 and with any browser, except opera mobile and firefox, I keep getting the message "Sorry this video cannot be played" it's really annoying so I beg you all, if someone knows how to fix this please help!

It seems that all the browser do not redirect the video to the youtube app (vimeo video works flawlessly)
