Youtube: An error has occurred attempting to play media
Hi all,
As of about 3 weeks ago I haven't been able to play any videos from youtube for more than about 1 minute before the stream stops and I get the error "An error has occurred attempting to play media". I had been running OS 7.1.0.378 when this started. On Saturday, I wiped my phone, and then installed OS 7.1.0.746, but unfortunately the problem is still there! No amount of rebooting helps! I often tether my laptop to my bb using bluetooth, and viewing youtube videos over my bb wireless connection works perfectly. Its only if I try to watch directly from the phone.
Is anyone else having the same issue? I have searched the forums but there have been no answers that apply to 2012 (e.g.: one answer was to change some youtube mobile settings that no longer exist on youtube's mobile site).
FYI: I'm on Rogers in Canada. Anyone else having this issue? Anyone else on Rogers having the issue?
Am I the only one?
Thanks,

EXACT same problem as the OP's
Also on Rogers, videos also die out after about a minute with same error. I have APN settings turned on as I always have, but lately been having this problem out of no-where. Did an OS upgrade recently to Rogers' latest, maybe that's the issue.

When I was on .284 I would get this error a lot when using wifi. Never with it turned off.

Hey everyone! Looks like the Youtube issue has been solved! I got the following text message from Rogers today, and after doing a battery-pull I've been able to finally break the the 1:19 barrier!!
Hello, this is a message from Rogers. We are pleased to report that your wireless ticket# CT0... is resolved. Please call 1-888-764-3771 or log on to wireless.rogers.com if you need more help.
So do a battery pull and post if the issue has also been resolved for you or if you're still having it.
I will post again if things start acting up again, but so far so good!!

Oh, that is disappointing!
Did you do a battery pull? After getting the text from Rogers saying youtube was fixed, I continued to get errors until I did a battery pull.
Also, what phone do you have? Is the OS version you have the latest OS *officially supported by Rogers*?
I have a Torch 9810, and the latest supported OS is 7.1.0.746 (bundle 2108).
Although its just grasping at straws, it may make sense to install the OS version officially supported by Rogers for your phone. (This, of course, assumes that the version you currently have installed is not already the official supported version)
Cheers

This issue is really becoming aggravating. Several times now when I try to stream a video it is having this error.
More then a few times it has lead to a embarrassing moment. I try to show someone a video from my BB, only to have a error 1:19 into it. Every time only to be told, "if you didnt have a BB you could watch the whole video."
Bah, hurry up and sort this out Rogers and RIM!

Not sure if its a data compression issue or even an OS 7.1 issue as it worked fine on OS 7.1 up until maybe October/November for me.
Then the 1 minute 19 problem appeared seemingly out of nowhere >.<
