What steps will reproduce the problem? String url = "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5fXOct6rJw";

    Uri uri = Uri.parse(url);
    String vid = uri.getQueryParameter("v"); 

    //Intent lVideoIntent = new Intent(null, Uri.parse(url), this,OpenYouTubePlayerActivity.class);

    Intent lVideoIntent = new Intent(null, Uri.parse("ytpl://"+ vid), this, OpenYouTubePlayerActivity.class);

    startActivity(lVideoIntent);

What is the expected output? What do you see instead? I get Communication Error, also the logs shows

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? 2.3.3

Please provide any additional information below.

If i use below code it works

Intent myIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri .parse("http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s8I05iFWkQ0")); startActivity(myIntent);

I got below error when i tried on emulator,I used below source code String url = "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aqyf2aYR1pQ&feature=featured";

    Uri uri = Uri.parse(url);
    String vid = uri.getQueryParameter("v"); 

Intent lVideoIntent = new Intent(null,Uri.parse("ytv://"+vid), this, IntroVideoActivity.class);

    startActivity(lVideoIntent);

Can you guys let me know why media player is throwing -1004? so far no luck playing video with OpenYouTubePlayerActivity

the original defect was not formatting the url correctly. the openyoutubeplayer expects the url to be of the form ytv://. also, there were errors in the player interacting with the youtube apis that should now be fixed.

The issue is not fixed, I am still getting the error with new jar, also i made code changes to use ytv

I am also getting the same error.

11-15 18:22:41.446: ERROR/QueryYouTubeTask(1088): java.lang.RuntimeException: Invalid NULL Url. Not sure, how to fix it, I tried various combination but it fails at the same place saying, "Invalid Url"

Same here. The developer says it was fixed on Nov 4, 2011 but no new jar posted to site. The latest one is from Nov 1, 2011 which is before this bug was reported. If this issue is fixed, we need the new jar!

By the way, it works when on Wifi. I looked at the source and can't figure out why might be wrong.

I patched the source and provided an update that works.

Instructions: 1) Load the jar into your project

2) Add to your manifest file:

3) Call the activity the same way as before:

String url = "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yourvideoid"; Uri uri = Uri.parse(url); String videoId = uri.getQueryParameter("v"); Intent videoIntent = new Intent(null, Uri.parse("ytv://" + videoId), this,OpenYouTubePlayerActivity.class); startActivity(videoIntent);

You can use the regular source if you dont want to use my jar. Attached is the activity I edited (source attached). Just drop the java into your project in place of the original and rebuild.

Issue seems to still occur on Android 2.2 and 2.3

i tried running the code but i keep getting the below error:

03-05 13:47:05.590: E/QueryYouTubeTask(9413): Error occurred while retrieving information from YouTube.

Does anyone have a clue about it?

My test Video url is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_gQHtXsLtU.

and go down into the stack I found @ queryLatestPlaylistVideo() in YouTubeUtility.java, line 62 the lResp is a HTTP 404 NOT FOUND. So the real youtube link must be changed by now.

the url must be change over time. Is there more consitent way of this?

btw the lGetMethod uri string is: http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/playlists/v_gQHtXsLtU?v=2&max-results=50&alt=json

what's the valid url really???

Have you got a solution for this yet? I am in the same situation

Can you help me?

This is returned by the server,Every time I can not share the video to the server,I need help.Thank you

is it working any way i have tired several times it didnt work

OpenYouTubeActivity-1.2.jar work perfects, make sure the URI, "ytv://", not the "ytpl://"

got this error: "An error occurred during the retrieval of the video. This could be due to network issues or YouTube protocols. Please try again later."

im using the 1.2 jar file. HELP!!

Post your code here

thats my code:

            String url = "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IuEPADM2yBI";

             Uri uri = Uri.parse(url);
             String id = uri.getQueryParameter("v");


            Intent lVideoIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("ytv://" + id), YouTube.this,      OpenYouTubePlayerActivity.class);
            startActivity(lVideoIntent);

This also not working :( Is this working?

It says "Sorry, this video cannot be played"

Resolved this issue by adding Signature to the URL

fix: VideoStream.java (Line: 30) change: mUrl = lArgMap.get("url"); to: mUrl = lArgMap.get("url") + "&signature=" + lArgMap.get("sig");

i did that but i still get the error 1,403, it says i can't play the video

Yes, it work perfectly. Thank bro

An error occurred during the retrieval of video. This could be due to network issues or YouTube protocols. Please try again later.

I fixed it using the #25 srikanth…@gmail.com suggestion. I'm attaching a new JAR.

Please do anybody no why the videoview is small. The video aint going full screen

1.3 works, however, it only works with some videos. I've seen elsewhere that suggested only videos that are explicitly marked as available for mobile will work with this.
