Cannot play video Sorry, this video cannot be played

[Bforbhakti]

Yeah i tried rebooting but I still get the message on every single video while using youtube mobile on the web application... Youtube works fine when i use the desktop option... But it takes forever to load So idk if i have to resort to a factory reset and try to get everything back.

But on the youtube application where the background is black is it common for some videos to be not available on mobile?

Restore your android device and sign up for a new gmail account using same device. After that manually add your associated gmail (If you use gmail in your youtube login) sign in to your android and sync with official Youtube app.And, if you used Yahoo in your youtube login then go through Yutube app directly and try to login! Hope it will you to solve your headaching problem!! Best Regards!!

Hi Everyone...

Well this problem occurs with me (HTC One), but on literally every app I have, Twitter, Facebook, Youtube, Vine, Snapchat The lot... I literally cannot play videos. The video starts for about the first second then freezes, the audio continues for another 2 seconds before the video stops and gives me the 'Cannot play video' message in a black box.

I have tried turning the phone on and off ( standard) but this still isn't working. Any ideas anybody? It's driving me mad now!

Any help would be hugely appreciated, Thanks guys, Tom

I've been having this problem where whenever i would log into my youtube account and watch videos i would get "Cannot play video Sorry, this video cannot be played" on every single video on youtube while i'm in my youtube account. But when i log out and try to see a video that i wasn't able to see before when logged into my account it would work... So idk what to do with it, simply ignore it and not get into my youtube account or see if i can fix this. Has anyone ever had this happen to them? and no I'm not talking about using the youtube app to watch videos but the web application

It happens to me too. What i've done is i download a browser from play store called dolphin and everything settle. Only then i can play any youtube video.
