yeah, someone is working on creating a new youtube app (to replace the current one) that will let the video continue to play in the background and let you download the video http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=707601

Is there a decent player for tilt ?

ive tried like 5 different versions tcmpc and youtubeplay and I cant anything to play consistantly. any suggestion ?
What do you mean 'play consistently'? Are you having problems with music playback, or movie playback or both? Or are you having problems playing youtube video's through TCPMP? Perhaps you can elaborate
thanks for replying? Im trying to play a video off of youtube and the first second will start to play, then it will freeze up. If its not possible so be it. I just want to know if this is normal or is there something I can do to fix this
Are you on EDGE or 3g? It could simply be a buffering issue if I'm not mistaken. Have you looked into Coreplayer instead of TCPMP
I'm personally having serious problems playing videos off the non youtube website but can play videos (with lots of pauses for buffering) from the mobile youtube site.
If you're simply trying to play videos from the mobile youtube website, then I suggest you download the FLV plugin for TCPMP and configure your settings correctly. The correct settings can be found on the ytpocket.com website.
I don't know if you have 'flash video bundle' installed which some have said has helped them watch videos straight off youtube. It personally didn't work for me and so I've given up, but try viewing threads detailing issues simmilar to yours.

Edited to add: Coreplayer can only be purchased, it's not a freebee like TCPMP
well most of the time the phone displays HSDPA. I hope buffering is all it is. My cellular video plays fine. Ill try the coreplayer thanks.

Why not simply use vTap?
It can prebuffer the video or it can play directly from site if you use flv!
Also with vTap it is realy simple to search and you can watch videos from other sites too!

Is there anyway to get Coreplayer to launch directly from Youtube, or do you have to access it directly through the player. Also, do you know how to create playlist from videos viewed from youtube in coreplayer?
I've found that Streaming to TCPMP, with FlashVideoBundle, does not "keep alive" the connection. If I'm surfing the web everything is copasetic. I have Tweaked my phone to kill my Data Connection after 3 minutes. Surfing the web, it doesn't kill it after 3 minutes, or it reconnects supa-fast. But If I'm watching a You Tube Video via TCPMP if I'm not careful after three minutes 15 seconds the video stops and I notice my connection has been killed.

Youtube Question

I notice on my G1, whenever i tried looking for an OFFICIAL Music Video of anything on the Youtube APP it does not show it at all. Even though it is there
Whenever i search it via google or youtube.com, it showed the video, but when played via youtube app it said video cannot be played.
Anyone know of any solution for this? Beside downloading it via keepvid.com?
Sorry it may be a stupid question, but its aggrevating me.. what the point of youtube when you cant even watch your fav music video.. the real ones lol

I don't know of anyway to bypass this. It is very annoying. The only alternative I know of is to try the YouTube downloader.apk
Sometimes when a video is freshly added, it won't show up on the mobile version for a while. Usually the official videos are added like every minute and then pulled from youtube. Maybe the video is getting pulled and then just added, that's why its not converted to mobile yet? That's my guess.
Ahh that sucks I guess there nothinn we can do I think somee sort of filter on the youtube browser. Is there any aftermarket browse that would the same as youtube app?
There's no filter.. Our devices only play mp4 or 3gp (mobile formats), so the vidoes on our youtube app or the ones we can play from the mobile youtube site are in mobile phone format. When a video is uploaded to youtube.com, it takes a while to get converted to a format playable on mobile phones. That's why are unavailble for a while (on our devices) after they're uploaded on youtube.com.
Do you understand now?
Videos that violate copywrite laws are pulled from youtube usually before they are converted to a mobile format.

Questin about multitasking.

Hi there,
I want t o be able to play a youtube video and browse the internet at the same time. But every time I leave youtube either through the application or through the browser it stops working.
I tried through FireFox mobile but no dice even using an extension called phony.
and help?
Also I managed to use an MP3 as my incoming call ring-tone.
Is it possible to do the same for the incoming messages?
I guess that's a "problem" of the youtube app which stops playing as it is minimized.
either that or android just needs the Ram for surfing
you could use ringdroid
Could it be im using it wrong?
Because it works with the music player which comes with the phone..
I press the home botten long it brings the multi tasker up and i choose something else like the internet and just stops playing.. It dos not close the app it just stops the video.
Thx for the app by the way.

Video uses a LOT more resource then audio does so it makes sense that the music player would continue while the video player would not. Also I know that app developers went out of their way to enable music to remain playing in the background of other apps. Video? Not so much.
I tested it on my own phone. When I switch to a different app, the YouTube app pauses and loses signal. When I return to it, it has to search for the video again.

[Q] Screen flickers while playing videos

I have a Samsung Galaxy S Advance i9070. Off late if I try playing videos one after the other the screen starts to flicker. The first video plays fine, flickering starts when i play the second video, then I have to bring up Task Manager and clear the memory. This happens only while playing videos, I tried the VLC player also but result is the same. 90% of system resources are free so it can’t be a lack of system resources that’s causing this. Is it a hardware issue, I re installed the stock ROM but even then same result.
I have this problem too but it seldom happens.

In my case ti happens every time I play a video, no exceptions.
Which player are you using to view the videos?
People say I'm crazy, but the voices in my head say I'm just fine.

[Q] How to keep music streaming over BT while using camera?

How can I prevent the camera application from interrupting music playback? I can't record videos while continuing to stream audio over AUX or BT.
Using camera while streaming music will work for taking photos, BUT to record videos, they assume you want to record sound with your video, so that's why the streaming stops. You can always play music from an external source when making your music videos.

I know I can play from an external source but that would defeat the point of keeping everything on my phone- Lets say I'm having a small party and I'm streaming music from my phone over BT and then decided I want record a video, obviously I'm not going to want the music turning off for the whole party because I decided to record a video. Or another example, my little nieces & nephews were over this past weekend and were dancing to music I was playing from my phone over BT and since I have a Note 4 & always is the best camera in the room for recording videos, I'm asked to record with my phone. If they are dancing to music playing over my phone and then I record a video of them & its turns off the music, which I also want in the video, then it makes the video pointless.
I would find it extremely strange if there isn't a 3rd party app to allow this, a setting to adjust, a work-around or a Wanam xposed option to allow this.
I can't be the ONLY one with this issue lol

i guess no one else has tried to record a video while using their phone as a music player. we must be the crazy ones -_- ...seeing as that no one else was going to be of any help, had to resolve this one myself. i remember i used poweramp exclusively back in the day on my cyanogenmod g2 because compared to the stock music player it had a better interface, a ton more feautures & settings, better eq, better file mgmt, better interface & music actually played better through this app (with eq mods). I stopped using it when i got the first galaxy s as it had a bug like many things had a bug on that phone.
i just download the latest Version of Poweramp & I am blown away- it has come a long way and in my few minutes using it, I already love it again and will be using it as my primary music player. And it fixed my problem, I'm able to taking pictures & videos now without interrupting music playback. (setting for it)
any updates on this?
I to have the same issue where my kids are dancing to music I'm streaming and would love to video them doing they're crazy moves to the music.
Best bet is have the dev who rom you are using mod the camera ? apk and you are good. Every rom is different. Also someone did this already you just gotta look.
