then I have to go to my downloads or gallery to open and play them (& then delete etc). It's annoying!

Uploading to YouTube.

I can't upload videos to YouTube. When I go to the gallery and try to share via YouTube, it says "failed to retrieve account info" immediately. It does it so quickly that it's obviously not actually trying.
When I go to YouTube using the browser and try uploading from there, it crashes the browser and sends me back to the homescreen with no error message.
I am using CM6 nightly from 08062010.
Can anyone else recreate these problems?
i have the exact same problem! can anyone help?
Was this ever resolved?
I have the same issue when trying to upload to youtube with the 3g connection.
Turn on wi-fi and it uploads golden... just my 2 cents
I have gotten it working.
I had to go to YouTube on my computer and create a new account.
Then I opened the YouTube app and hit menu, then my account. Then use the new account to login.
It works great now. I wish that I could have used my "linked" Google account, but it's fine this way.
Now when I want to share via YouTube from the gallery that account is the automatically chosen one.
Wow that sucks I really wanted to use my existing account
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
I FIGURED IT OUT. U have to log into your gmail account on the comp and enable multiple sign in. Work great except I recorded a video on the 720p setting but wen it uploaded it was only 360
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
oh nvm 720p works great its just the nexus one doesnt play 720 in the browser

I got the camera working too, but I will use stock CM camera for taking images.
I got it working fine on CM7.2. All the social stuff, the camera and anything else.

[Q] YouTube issue

Hello everybody,
I have an issue with a friend's Z1.
When someone sends him a YouTube link in Facebook, it does't open with YouTube.
It used to open with a Z1 embedded video player but it couldn't open the video link.
After he reset the app open assignments, the window to choose which program to use to open the link pops up, but there NO YouTube in the list!
YouTube is in the device of course as a ROM internal application (so I cannot remove it to re-add it).
Any ideas?

I don't know if it's possible, but maybe try uninstalling any updates to the Youtube app? Or clear cache/data if you haven't tried yet.
I take it your friend's Z1 is not rooted?
Yes it is not rooted.
I think there is option to uninstall updates. Then reinstall them?
I don't see how cache/data clearing will help though.
When I click a YouTube link in the fb app it asks to open in a browser window. I use chrome. It then pops up asking to use chrome or YouTube app to play the video.
Try clearing the defaults in the browser that's used

[Q] Chrome 39 or Lollipop Youtube Link Issue

Having an issue and not sure if its a Chrome 39 issue or Lollipop issue and was looking for some help or some people to test.
When you open a embedded YouTube link in chrome it opens the mobile YouTube web view in another tab instead of opening the YouTube app. I tested the same link on my Note 4 and it works properly, so I'm not sure were the issue is.
Example:http://www.theverge.com/2014/11/14/...-and-kings-divergent-insurgent-bosch-and-more
In the embedded YouTube view if you click the title in the embedded view it should open the YouTube app instead it opens another tab with YouTube web view.
I have already cleared defaults, cache and date on both YouTube app and chrome app to verify that is not the issue.
Any suggestions would be appreciated or I guess confirmation that this is happening to other people so I can file a bug report.
same issue for me
same issue on nexus 5, lollipop, chrome 39
I also have cleared defaults and did factory reset but it did not work
Works as expected on my N5. It plays in the current tab unless you hit the YouTube link in the upper left corner.
Same issue here with a Nexus 4.
I noticed sometimes it works (i.e. from a google search) sometimes not (like in the link posted by the op)
I'm having the same issue on my Nexus 5. Instead of opening videos in the app, it's sending me to the mobile YouTube page in the browser. Cleared app defaults in YouTube, for Chrome that button is greyed out.
i'm having this same issue on my nexus 6. its pretty annoying
I noticed the problem is fixed when you deactivate "merge tabs and apps". It is connected with the new tabs in multitasking feature.
yup noticed that too.. but i want to keep my tabs merged with recents... i don't know if this is by design or an oversight. i'm hoping google isn't thinking that opening in a new tab is just as good as opening in an app.

Notifications menu. Vids won’t play

Things used to be fine. Save video to phone. In the notification menu on top of screen after download is done. Tap one to open. It’d open and play. Not anymore. I installed an rar app and archive app. Every time I tap vids to open it would pop up a list of those apps to use. Once or always open. So I uninstalled them. Now it just opens the files app or downloads app. I never had any issue before. How do I fix this? I looked at settings for chrome and it seems ok for how to deal with media. Not sure though.
Thanks.
What file extension is the video?
Which app was launching to play the video when things were working?
In settings>>apps>>default apps is anything shown for video?
Try resetting app preferences in settings>>system>>reset app preferences
Thanks. They’re mp4. I don’t know. The default video app on the pixel 4 xl was used but I don’t know. Reset app prefs is a good first step. Didn’t think of that. Hmm.
