Youtubeplay error - failed to play -3

I love youtube and the youtubeplay application has become almost invaluable to me. Starting today, whenever I try to play a video I get an error; "failed to play: -3". A soft reset as well as reinstalling the application didn't work. Any idea's?

I have the same problem. It started or at least I noticed it yesterday.

The fix didn't work and the YouTube application seems too fancy, it doesnt work properly. FPS is low too. Youtubeplay was simple and effective, I'd like it to work again.

Maybe I should have used a better choice of words. I meant for example that the interface doesn't rotate when I flip open the keyboard and the FPS is very low for me, it's like watching a slideshow. I will say though that the program looks very nice. I'd just like youtubeplay back, it worked great, was simple and easy to use.

Are you guys on the high quality or fast download setting in the options? oh high quality mine does run slightly choppy. and no it doesn't rotate for me either, i just type what i want and slide it back in. it auto rotates when the vid starts. but it doesn't bother me.
