cnn videos - Acer Iconia A500

they wont play. they say im not connected to a network. when i obviously am since im using the app.
anyone else?

same here. Anyone have a fix

same problem as a few other apps i have messed with
Don't think there is a fix for this - in the meantime you could just hit www.CNN.com and click video - it works pretty well in stock browser.

YouTube app no longer displaying snapshot.

My youtube app no longer displays a small snapshot image of the video. Instead I get a grey/white TV icon.
The video plays fine once you tap on the title.
Anyone else experience the same problem?
Yeap, exactly the same problem here. I guess something must have changed at Youtube's end.
Hello,
the same here... no pictures in the listing anymore.
Is this realy a "server" problem, or a HD failure?

same here what's going on.....first it's google maps zoom in now youtube, what's next???
I dunno, but it's a pain
Apparently Google have updated their back end and this is causing problems with You Tube on many HTC devices.
I was told that HTC are working in conjunction with Google to provide a fix.
yrreP how did you find this out. good that you told me. i thing i reset my hd about 5 times. thanks for the heads up. do you know when its gonna get fixed
HTC told me..!
It came from an official source in Taiwan.

Hope its true and get fixed as otherwise its doesn't make any sense if one cannot see a preview pic in the list.
Seems to be working again
Mine is working just fine... I am posing this message on Nov 20th, Thursday night at 9:30 PM EST from USA.
Result!
also working in UK (Friday 21st Nov 07:10 GMT)
When I try to load the YouTube App, it says "Connection Failed" - anyone know why this might be (I'm on a HSPA connection - data is on). Also, when I load the youtube webpage, the thumbnails for videos appear, but the video's themselves do not...?
I've loaded .Net framework 3.5. Any help appreciated!
Petrov.
I've tried a hard reset now - but still no luck. Youtube app comes up with "Connection Failed". I'm with T-Mobile in the Uk. Anyone else seeing this, either in the UK or as part of T-Mobile in the UK?
EDIT: I've figured it out. If you get the HD from Expansys at least, it comes configured using the T-Mobile proxy server. To get the YouTube app to work, I had to go to Start>Settings>Connections (tab)>Connections (icon)>"Edit my proxy server"> then UN-check the block titled "This network uses a proxy server to connect to the Internet".
Nonetheless, while the youtube app works and lets me play videos via the application, I still can't play videos from the actual youtube.com homepage (or any other flash video sites).
Hope this helps others too. Perhaps even worth a mention in the wiki tweaks?

sounds like you're volunteering there mrpetrov

I didn't realise (obviously) that there was one. So sorry. I'll go and find it.

This issue has now been resolved. Please update to myPlayer version 1.092 (or later) to use the high quality iPlayer download feature.

Great news. Works fine again. Many thanks.

[Q] CNN app keeps FC'ing after starting?

I have a non rooted, XOOM running 3.0.1 and everything seemed to be great but for some reason when I start the CNN app from an icon it starts up fine and then a second or two later either closes or force closes everytime without fail. I've tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it. I've tried rebooting the XOOM as welll. Still happens and I can't figure out why - it may have been the 3.0.1 update.
I usually use the CNN widget to launch videos/stories and that still works fine without issue. But if I try launching it with the app icon it crashes.
Anybody with 3.0.1 not having this issue? I'm not sure what else to try at this point other than to accept it's a bug and move on for now.
I had an update waiting for me in the Market this morning for CNN. Try updating and see if its still happening.
LOL, will have to wait until I get home. Hopefully that will fix it. I have to say though, the CNN app on XOOM is very slick and a better implementation than the current iPad one (although similar).
i get a lot of force closes as well. the update fixed some issues, but i still cannot play video since the 3.01 update. anyone else have this issue of videos not playing in CNN app?

yes it is fixed by update
Fixed!
i had the exact same problem. I couldn't keep the app open and then when it did open it wouldn't play videos. I was able to fix the issue by going into the settings, then applications, then click on the CNN app and finally click clear data. You will get a warning click OK. Now open cnn it will say opening for the first time. It should work well now, this worked flwlessly for me.
Which cnn app? I see several and want the good one

Did you happen to install the video add-on apk that was floating around for root users? Mine started acting the same way. I ended up reflashing a new ROM to fix mine. Its been flawless since.

[Q] Flash Player Needs To Be Updated?

I have had my transformer for two days now. At first the flash player worked okay. Yeah, there was lag when watching videos in 720p, but whatever. Today, however, when I went to YouTube to watch a video, it wouldn't play and gave me an error message saying that flash player needs to be updated. I checked the market and there are no updates available (I'm currently running version 10.3.185.25). I even tried uninstalling it and then reinstalling it and rebooting the transformer, but to no avail.
Thanks for any advice.

Try clearing the data for the YouTube app and open it up again. Does the message still come up?

That won't work because I'm trying to watch YouTube directly from the browser, but that did give me an idea. I went to my applications and I cleared the data and cache for the browser. This time when I went to YouTube it worked!

If you're using Opera, then you need to enable flash in the settings.

Great, Bluetooth doesn't work. I really hope that I'm just doing something stupid which is causing this problem. When I went to connect my magic mouse and apple wireless keyboard to the transformer they paired and said connected. Everything seemed fine but when I went to move the mouse, no cursor appeared on the screen. Also, when I tried to type something with the keyboard nothing would happen. I have tried unpaining and repairing but that doesn't work either. I really like the device and don't want to have to exchange it for an issue like this.

That's what it seems like . Unfortunately I dot have anything else to test it with. I'm open to pretty much anything as long as I don't have to return it.
