Anyone else have problems launching Youtube links from various apps? - Nook Color General

ok, this is likely the result of replacing the auto-nooter Youtube app with the "HQ YouTube" app discussed here; but, no matter what I do, I cannot launch YouTube videos from any other application besides the Youtube app itself.
If I click on a Yotube video link in Dolphin HD or gReader, it brings me to a "link not found" page each and every time, for each and every video!
Any ideas?

[Q] Bad youtube quality!!!

Hi,
I was checking the forum, but found no similar topic, so I opened a new one(bit surprised, that nobody noticed this).
So the problem is, that whenever I play a youtube video, it's bad quality! Or at least not as good as 720p. Of course connected to wifi(high quality automatically chosen).
What I did is, I searched on "Crysis HD", and played the "ultra hd" video. It looked okay.
After that I downloaded JetVD, and downloaded the actual video in 720p.
What a difference!!!
So my question is: whenever I'm on wifi, is it possible to play the youtube video in proper quality?
seach youtube hq
I'm not 100% sure what you mean, I searched youtube HQ on google, on market, and on XDA, but found nothing related.
If you mean turn on the "high quality" in the options while playing, it's done. My question is different.

I had been looking for this too, where can I can such an app
All youtube videos that i play look like the worst quality stretched to fullscreen, it's just horrible, when i select menu-> play high quality. it just keeps loading and never starts playing, not on wifi, not on 3G.

Aye. This is it! So somebody knows how to get around this? Obviously it's not hardware restriction, we just need a proper app for this! Maybe somehow use the youtube player that EVO uses?
Many of the custom roms have the YouTube app swaped for the HD version. You should have a look.

Is there any way to somehow get it without a custom rom?
I have no idea sorry.

Do you have the HQ option in your youtube player? PM me your email, I'll email you the APK for installation.

Before I updated to new firmware always had to select "play in high quality" after starting a video but now it does it automatically. Have always had the box ticked.
video set to high quality, the problem is not this.
Roy: sent pm with my email!

No, unfortunately it's still not doing the thing I want.
You might not notice, but there is a big difference between youtube 720p(downloaded to PC, and copied to phone), and youtube HD.
I installed the app, but it does nothing, but moves the HD button from the menu to the onscreen interface. HD quality videos are still not even close to 720p.

[Q] Best Tube - Youtube

I used to use the Best Tube app for downloading youtube vids for watching offline. After switching to the vegan rom, I went to the market to download the app again and it was missing. several market fix attempts doesn't make it show up, and trying all the reputable app sites show it missing from the market.
Anyone have the apk for it? Or can recommend a good free app from the market that does the same thing and works well with vegan v1 b5.1?
thanks in advance
Check for TubeMate in the market...

[Q] Dolphin HD bug? ("Select an action")

Hey guys, do any of you have problems with Dolphin HD when trying to watch YouTube videos? Whenever I go to the YouTube site (not the mobile site) and click on a video, Dolphin HD always prompts me to "Select an action" in order to view the video. It gives me 3 choices: Dolphin HD, the stock browser, and the YouTube app.
Normally this wouldn't be a big deal except for the fact that it asks me this every darn time I want to watch a video. And strangely enough, there's no checkbox to use my choice as the Default action, so I'm stuck with this annoying prompt.
Anyone else having this problem? Thanks in advance.
Ive been using Dolphin Browser HD for a while now and its problem free for me when i use youtube. Make sure you havent altered any settings in the browser. Restart. Reinstall the app. If problems persist try contacting the people that make it. Good luck
Yes, I have that same issue - but only if i'm coming from the youtube site itself to the specific video.
if you search for videos on google videos instead, and then go to youtube from there, it doesn't get triggered. best workaround i can offer you.
Have you tried changing user agent?

YouTube/flash issues within browser

So I use stock browser/ICS browser+ to surf. And watching embedded YouTube videos within websites is a nightmare. I have STICK IT! App or even YouTube app so I'd have no problem using those but to even get the "share" button accessible I have to click play which causes a big lag and then im frantically trying to click share, which usually doesn't work. If I just let it play and then click fullscreen within the site it lags and usually freezes and blacks out screen and doesn't play
To add, I have sites loaded as "desktop" by default.
Usually what I end up doing is looking at video title and trying to find it myself on the YouTube app.
What are your guys' thoughts on playing embedded YouTube videos? Lately its been so frustrating.
EDIT: I forgot what the final straw was that had me post on here.....after the you tube video freezes or bugs out, the browser bugs and wont load a page until I reboot xoom, even if I end task in manager

Try reinstalling flash on your xoom. Just go to the play store and look up "Flash". You should see something like "Adobe Flash". Uninstall it, and then reinstall it.
Hope that helps.

Can only pinch-fullscreen youtube videos in native app - not from chrome, reddit, etc

So yeah title pretty much says it all.
I have installed Youtube Vanced, though. Not sure if that might have anything to do with it.
So basically if i launch youtube app and play a video, i can pinch to zoom and have it take up the whole s10 screen (with the camera cutout blocking a bit of the video).
However, if i am watching an embedded youtube video in say relay(reddit), or in chrome, it will not allow me to pinch-to-fullscreen.
Is this something everyone else is experiencing?
That's always how it's been. It's a gesture that works with the YouTube app; not the web-based player
Yeah. Use samsung internet because that knows how to open embedded etc. videos in youtube app for where you can pinch zoom any video

Or course it works. If an embedded video starts to play, just click on the title and it opens it on youtube app
I misread the post above I thought they were saying that you can fullscreen from embedded videos in the Samsung app.
I don't know why I would revert back to the Samsung browser when I can already just click the title in chrome if I want to launch the video in YouTube app.
Anyways, I now understand that if I want to use the whole screen to watch YouTube it needs to be done in the native app.
Thanks guys
