RoseTube not playing videos that are live on YouTube

Function Rosetube

I can generally reproduce a symptom on my 150 B hardware.

I’ll play a rose tube video, perhaps an hour and a half in length and then when I go to play other rose tube videos, none of them will play stating an error to the effect“ a video cannot be played at this time. Please try again later”.

What is happening that causes this? It’s extremely frustrating, especially when I’m trying to present videos to friends who come over and we’re going through several videos.

I’ve powered off the hardware, closed the app, but nothing works. I have to wait, I don’t know how long, perhaps an hour just basically go on with my day and then come back to the rose 150 B, and then my search for Rose tube videos works again.

I’m seeing this more and more so it’s time I write the community to try and sort out what’s causing this.

The videos that do not play can be played in the regular YouTube app so it’s not like it’s an old cache or something on the YouTube side, as far as I can tell.

Appreciate any help troubleshooting this and let me know if there’s anything you need me to do to try and prevent this from happening.

Thanks

RoseTube being flaky again

Same here. I fixed it by deleting the Rosetube app and reinstalling it again, but I wonder for how long.

By ’live on YouTube’ you mean they are working on YouTube I guess. Not videos of live events.

Yes, exactly. Meaning that if you go to YouTube itself in the YouTube app or in a browser, all the videos are working there. Just not in the RoseTube.

I also see an earlier thread I posted, and I believe there are some hi-fi rose eyeballs on it.

As you’ll see in my other thread, deleting the app and reinstalling doesn’t fix the issue. I just tested that last night. I have to wait a few hours, I would say, and come back to the rose 150 B and the videos can play again.

Very random and not easy to reproduce, but the general issue seems to stem around watching a rosetube video for an hour or more and then attempting to search and play any other rosetube located video. That’s when I can usually reproduce the issue.

Here’s that thread: RoseTube flakiness

RoseTube and YouTube are not exactly the same.
We developed RoseTube based on the API that YouTube publicly supports.
If YouTube makes any modifications or changes, RoseTube may not run smoothly.
In this case, you can resolve this by going to the Rose Store on your Rose device and reinstalling the RoseTube app.
