this the full error

Warning: React.createElement: type should not be null or undefined. It should be a string (for DOM elements) or a ReactClass (for composite components).

and this is all I have in this view

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import Router, {Link, RouteHandler} from 'react-router';
import { Grid, Row, Column, List, ListItem } from '../../components/Layout';
import { RaisedButton, Paper } from 'material-ui';

const videosInformation = {
  time      : 25,
  gameId    : 15665,
  date      : '12 10 2015',
  gameName  : "Black Jack"
};

export default class Home extends Component {

  static contextTypes = {
    router  : React.PropTypes.func
  }  

  render () {
    return <Grid>                   
      <Row>
        <Column>
          <Paper>
            <List subheader="Player Info">
              <ListItem primaryText={`Name: ${videosInformation.time}`} />
              <ListItem primaryText={`Nickname: ${videosInformation.date}`} />
              <ListItem primaryText={`Age: ${videosInformation.gameId}`} />
              <ListItem primaryText={`Language: ${videosInformation.gameName}`} />
            </List>
          </Paper>
        </Column>  
        <Column>
          <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Ta4xuThmAsQ" frameBorder="0" allowFullScreen></iframe>
        </Column>
      </Row>
    </Grid>;
  };

}

I am using Material-UI

It is likely that your Layout file is not exporting one of the variables from this line

import { Grid, Row, Column, List, ListItem } from '../../components/Layout';

The warning would happen if one of those is undefined.
