Android You Tube Help Needed

I'm having a bit of a problem with You Tube that I'm hoping someone might be able to help with. I do all of my MyLotting on my Android phone, an LGL34C. As you might or might not know, I write a lot about music on here, so I use You Tube a lot. I keep getting an error that says "there was a problem while playing, tap screen to retry." Apparently, this is not uncommon with Android's. The problem is that no matter how many times I tap the screen, the error keeps appearing. I can copy the link to use in my post, but I can't watch any video's, so I can't see if it's the video I actually want to use, nor can I watch the video's posted by others. I've tried every troubleshooting trick I've found on the Internet, mainly involving forcing stop/clearing cache/data of both the You Tube and Google Play Services Apps and restarting. I've removed the battery. I've tried resetting You Tube back to it's original settings, which only causes You Tube to "stop working." I've re-updated You Tube. I've even done a factory reset on the phone itself. Nothing has worked. I'm not shooting for likes or comments here, I'm just hoping that someone might have an idea about what's wrong. If you do, please share. Thank you in advance.

Sorry, I won't be any help because I have an Apple. But when I get that error on my YouTube, mine would say doesn't work. I'd just wait a little or clear all my windows/history and it'll work on its own.

I've tried everything and it's just gotten worse. I'm just going to buy a new phone in a couple days. It's for the best.

@teamfreak16 Aw bummer you couldn't fix it. Did you try restarting. Will you get another android? Any phone in mind you will get.
