Can't make youtube work

Hi all

Seems to be impossible to make youtube work.

I always get message "Problem beim Abspielen. Tippen zum WIEDERHOLEN" which means something like problem to play video, tap to retry.

I've already visited many forums to find a solution - no success yet.

I run Lollipop 5.1.1 on my tablet and I' tried this:

-Uninstalled/reinstalled youtube app

-Uninstalled updates

-Deleted data/cache

-Restarted device

-Checked google account

-Checked youtube availability

-Checked Wifi quality

On our iPad mini 2 and our Galaxy tab 4 youtube runs on the same google accountband works perfectly.

Seems that this is a very common issue (saw many posts on wed) but obviously without solution

Thanks for help/ideas

Andreas

Do you have any APN connection set up on the tablet?
