YouTube intent, error 400

I found that I can start a YouTube video in stock YouTube player this way:

Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("vnd.youtube:U79wVTdnMpw")); 
startActivity(i);

But it doesn't work. The YouTube player is started, but I get an error:

There was a problem with the network [400]

I have updated the YouTube app but nothing changes.

I am using Android ICS 4.0.1.

Settings applications manage applications clear data and cache

You will need to log in each time. Unfortunately I still can not post but can share comment on g+

I found the answer on this Google product forums which helped to solve my problem - which was exactly the problem you're experiencing :)

SOLUTION: Give ONLY the YouTube ID and not the entire YouTube URL to the loadVideo() function.

It seems that this is a common problem with the youtube app, also described here and here. The only answer I found is to log out of the youtube app and then log in again.
