[Q] Youtube/app - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Gentlemen. I might get bashed on this by most HTC users but isn't there a way the yourube app could work the way iPhone's youtube app loads videos? For instance, in the iphone's youtube app you could fast-forward and rewind the video as you please once the video finishes loading, but in HTC's Youtube app it just loads the video all over again even when you're sure the video's all loaded up. Is there a fix to this?

I sure hope so. The youtube app kinda sucks, when it comes to playback.

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?

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.

Use official YouTube application by Google for WM!
I already installed the youtube app but it isn't so comfortable with me... it bothers me that after a search for a video i cannot categorize the results by rating for example. It also bothers me that the videos are opened with the streaming media app and not with TCMP or another video app. Now, as it concerns the m.youtube.com site, the videos are opened only with the streaming media app and not with another video player. Can i change that? Can somebody help?

YouTube

Hi,
my YouTube app is not working property. I can watch videos on m.youtube.com but that is all. On any other web site it is just not working. When the pages loads the video doesn't.
I tried HR and reinstall the app. That did not help at all.
Anyone with same problem..?
Whats your version number of the youtube app do you have
Sent from my futuristic phone
Well the latest one.. It is not working since i got the phone over a month ago..
SO it is working to you guys..?
It is working to my friend on HTC Trophy so i thought that it can be just O2 UK HD7 having this problem..because they fiddled with the IE..
All the youtube app does is open m.youtube.com and plays the videos.
It redirects www.youtube.com to m.youtube.com, proivded your IE settings are set to mobile view, not desktop view.
Mines an unlocked o2 HD7 (on t-mobile) and it seems to be working fine like described...
YouTube App on WP7 can also play YouTube videos on other sites.
For example you can add youtube video to the post in forums like XDA.. Or if you go to pocketnow.com all videos there are on YouTube..
And then when you are on site that has YouTube video you can jsut play it.. When the page loads you can then click on the little image of the video and YouTube WP7 App will start playing it..
Well and that is not working for me.. When the page loads the video doesn't...
All i can do is go to m.youtube.com that works ok...

As far as I know and have read the youtube app is simply a wrapper for m.youtube.com which doesn't always have all the videos.
Well you can see it on this video. That this plugin should be able to play YouTube video on other sites. But it just doesn't work on my phone.

[Q] Problems with mobile youtube site

About two weeks ago, I was able to view youtube videos in a native youtube video player on the mobile site from my android browser. Now every time I go to the mobile site I either can't even click on the video or a second, smaller (play video) button pops up slightly below the video that gives me the videos in a lower quality resolution. I'm running 2.2. I miss having this native viewing ability.
I don't think it's a problem with default apps either. I've reset just about every default that I can and it's still happening. ugh.

[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.

i get this problem upon "ROTATION" (ie, orientation change) while playing videos in the youtube app, or playing html5 videos in the default browser app
