I noticed in the market that the youtube app was updated. I tried to run the update on my Nookie Froyo, but it fails to install, saying that the signature is invalid.
My question is, whether anyone has successfully installed the update on their NC, and whether it is actually worth updating? It sounds like most of the features it upgrades have to do with commenting, and not in the actual playing of the youtube videos.
What say anyone?
Thanks
Robyn

For all posts with videos in them (excluding The Engadget Show), the video links have "Unsupported video format".
Does anyone know what is needed to get these videos to work?
Anyone?
Wish I had the answer. I love the app. I wonder if anyone running Froyo has gotten the videos to work in the Engadget app?

On my Evo with custom Froyo rom (Myn's Warm 2.2), Engadget podcast videos play using RockPlayer or the built-in streaming media player. Unfortunately I don't have my NC with me so I can't test to see if RockPlayer works there as well.
Not sure if it is a codec or a flash problem but when my captivate upgraded from 2.1 to 2.2 I went from having this very same issue in 2.1 to being able to see all content in 2.2.
Doesn't work on my NC with Froyo.

Wild guess, but it's likely because those clips use Flash, and unless you're running Froyo from your SD card on the Nook, you're not going to be able to see those clips. Big bummer. I'm dying to get Froyo. I may try installing it on the SD card today, just to see if it'll work for me. Outside of that, I just want Bluetooth working, so I can use my Bluetooth headphones.

Froyo emmc can use flash. I dont know if the sd card can or cannot (i presume it can). Not sure why he made it sound like it can't (possibly typo? or something).
I'll test the engadget app later today for you unless someone else has by the time I can.

Yeah, he worded it weirdly. Most likely a typo.
Thanks for testing.

Sorry this took so long, been of a busy weekend for me. The engadget app also says "unsupported video format" and if I click videos it says "Sorry this video cannot be played." just like youtube says. It does work if I go to the website and view it that way, albeit the video is laggy (audio sounds laggy too, whihc is weird considering the audio for youtube sounds perfect")

Weird. That sucks
Thanks for testing
I wonder, what is the requirement to be able to play these videos in the Engadget app? What is causing it to not work?

For Froyo its the same reason(or i presume it is) pandora and youtube won't load, theres some network issue in the underlying code preventing these apps from working (but allowing their flash version to run in the browser). One of the developers said he believes he is close to a fix so maybe we'll be able to use these apps soon
How about the size of the application being shrunken to the top middle of the screen under Froyo? Anything we can do about that?

Turn on Compatibility Mode for apps that don't use the entire screen
Go to Spare Parts -> Compatibility Mode. Uncheck it and restart for more full-sized windows
I Have a NC that was rooted using the auto nooter process. What I was wondering is what is the difference between say that and nookie froyo. What is the best way to go. I love my autonottoered nc the only thing that stinks is the the skipping of the music and the youtube issue (I know thats fixable just havent taken the time).. Anyways thanks in advance for taking the time to answer this

I'm using a nootered nook. Not having any issues with music skipping or the youtube app. You may need to redownload the youtube apk and uninstall the old one and reinstall the new one. I use Rockplayer lite or the built in music player with no trouble...
Just wanted to see if everyone else is getting this. No overclock on mine. I have not adjusted files. Netflix needed to update the app today and now it allows me to stream. I have also installed Flash 10.3 from the market and it works in Opera Mobile.
I was of the opinion that neither of these worked on CM7.
Thought everyone should know.
Also wondering if anyone has watched baseball on the MLBatbat app. Don't want to pay for the app if it's not going to work.
Thanks all
Has anyone gotten the HBO GO app to actually play shows on gingerbread 2.3.3?
Everytime I try to play an episode the HBO intro plays fine then FC's. I have seen numerous posts on other fourms. Of other people getting same thing running gingerbread. When I looked at the error details. Said it couldn't find nexplayer. Is there a fix for this? I am running "Speed-n-Looks" strip_F 2.3.3. Downgrading to Froyo may fix it, but then Netflix would stop working. Any suggestions are appreciated.

I was curious if anyone has problems playing the vids on youtube that are HQ. If I turn off the HQ for the the vid then it plays no problem.
When I leave it on, a msg from the app displays just saying there was a problem playing your video please retry.
I've experienced this only in one other app recently released by funimation.
Hulu and netflix work fine for me. I have tried a multitude of roms to see if its linked to specific ones.

Question has been asked a million times . Anyways here's your answer, you need to use an older version of the youtube app for HQ to work. AFAIK the last working version is 2.1.6. Happy youtubing!
I have seen this a million times as well. But I never really paid any attention because I didn't care.
But yesterday I was testing some system app mods, so I ended up downloading YouTube from the market. HQ videos were playing for me.
I guess that's unusual or whatever. Maybe they weren't really HQ quality, I don't know. But they were playing.
Me and the kid watched funny cat videos for over an hour.
Non-opengl, no system mods that would matter.

That's interesting, what rom are you using?
Could you try it out again and report back?
I was afraid it was something app related. Its not a big deal. Was mostly curious as well as seeing if I could do some tweak to get the funimation app to work as well. Thanks for the help!

For those of us who want to use the older version until things get fixed or worked around in the roms, how can I hide the older apk from the market so I don't get spammed all the time to update?

Go to settings in market/play store and tell it to not notify you of any updates.

Okay, well I had flashed a couple of times since I posted that, and when I went to try it again, it didn't work. I knew I wasn't wrong the other day, so I reflashed what I thought I had been running before, and now the HQ videos are working with the current market YouTube.
The change between working and not working was I didn't flash the "take1" kernel like I had before.
So this is the setup. I am running a straight build from source, without opengl. I built it myself, but that shouldn't matter. It was built on April 8th, and comes with the standard kernel (no NAT filter or any of the new commits.)
The only difference between mine and the eyeballers (not counting any cherry-picking he may be doing) is that I compiled in a port of PDroid. There are some changes to some system apps, but I don't think that would matter.
Basically, anyone running a straight flash of eyeballer's April 8 build should have the same ability to run the videos with the HQ button on or off. I will not swear they are true HQ videos, I don't know that for certain. But the videos run either way.
EDIT: Let me know if anyone else has this working. I don't know much about YouTube or the whole HQ/HD thing and may be losing my mind.
I thought I had isolated the problem to a gapp, but now am not so sure. I will test again if no one else can get these working. I have uninstalled and reinstalled a bunch of stuff, and don't want to keep doing it if everyone can see HQ with the above setup.
Maybe everyone can in any setup and only the few people on this thread haven't realized it yet. idk.

Ah I see you are using a CM9 build. There might be something to that. I'm on CM7.2 . Maybe in CM9 it got fixed somehow.
I thought it was working in cm7 as well. Maybe it was just a modded app though, which is no better than an older apk.
Well, unless someone with cm9 tells me it's unique, I will just assume everyone has it working. They probably do, I have never looked at it before I saw this thread the other day.

My experience has been that HQ sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. I believe it is due to the actual quality of the video being played. For non-HD videos the HQ is lit up and the movie loads and plays fine. For HD videos that are actually HD you get the error message and have to uncheck HQ to get the video to play.
I have had this experience in several different configurations:
eyeballer's opengl builds, original kernel
eyeballer's opengl builds, updated kernel
eyeballer's opengl 4.9, updated kernel take 2 (current setup)
I would like to know if others have the same experience with "HQ" working for what seem to be non-HD videos and not working when the video actually appears to be HD.
