Hey guys, If I'm in the wrong area, I apologize.
I was wondering if there was a better youtube app for the HTC Fuze. The native youtube app, and the google youtube app are nice, but they do not play the full range of videos available on youtube, (ex. try looking up the music videos for "What you got" by Colby O'donis, or "Dangerous" by Kardinal Offishall, forgive my taste in music). You will not be able to find the music videos for these songs like you would on a desktop computer.
I've tried Coreplayer, and WVD player, but they either take a really long time searching or there is great difficulty finding videos.
I know this sounds funny but I'm quite surprised that there is difficulty for flash videos on winmo. I have a psp, and the youtube app is amazing (you also have the ability to go to other video hosting websites). Is there a youtube app that is equivalent to a desktop computer or the psp?
Thank you for your time.
ive been a bit dissapionted also in the phone because i tell everyone how much better the touch pro is than the iphone and then it cant do high quality youtube videos. please someone prove me wrong
if you go to the settings icon at the top and hit high quality instead of fast speed they look pretty damn good....
Yeah but if you're running a stock ROM the video skips because it can't process or keep the video and audio in sync..don't know what causes the problem. Not sure if that happens on cooked ROMs though
Have you tried coreplayer 1.3.2 youtube section after pressing views. It has settings out the a**! Hi,Lo,3g,FLV,H264 720p. Beautiful!! Try that if you havent!
But coreplayer is a commercial app, it is not free
btw I tried this software but was unable to make it work for youtube, it never finds anything...

Coreplayer works great...mine finds and plays youtube all day long. Commercial it is but its worth it....
dont know what the problem is but i can find the songs you name just fine. for both songs i get a dozen results. aswel through 3G as wifi. altough i cant select the high quality or fast download option cause there is no option menu anymore in my version of the youtube app (dont know wich version btw) but it was already in my rom
opened up the app today as usual and gave me the option to upgrade, so i did.. (dumb i know) installed perfectly, But when i opened it said go to sprint .com and switch to them.. haha..

Anyone having trouble toggling to fullscreen while watching NFL Network using this app? The video plays fine small but when I hit fullscreen the stream stops. I'm running NFSfans 6.5 final rom. The video opens windows media player by default. Anyway to open the stream in TCMP or streaming media instead?
i cant get around the option to upgrade. I even did a fresh install of the app from the original sprint dump.
I didn't install any updater, but whenever i open the app it tells me to upgrade. The widget still works fine so I just keep that on one of the home screens. So to people who use this app we are kinda boned in terms of checking stats and listening to games, but as long as we use the widget we still get real time scores.
Oh, and also I don't know who likes what teams but if you are interested in listening to some games download "a online radio" from the market. My team is the packers and unfortunately I can't get any of their games, but I have listened to entire Dallas, Pit, and San diego games. Just search espn and it will give you all the available espn radio stations you can stream on your phone.
I dont get any prompts to upgrade. But I am unable to view the NFL Network Stream or the Live Games anymore. I get a black screen with Audio only. Used to work fine.
Other videos within the app work fine.
Anyone else get this?
I have the newest version v2.4.1-1.0.111 I downloaded the .cab file from the sprint site via desktop pc. The cab is named... nfl2009.cab for the HTC Touch qvga 240 x 320. Everything works fine except I cant view nfl network in full screen using the app via media player mobile. Someone in another post said it was possible to view nfl network fullscreen through Sprintv. Problem is I have verizon as a carrier.
The following apps don't seem to work on my G-Tablet:
Streamfurious
imsdroid
sipdroid
(Apparently, sipdroid may just be an audio issue)
Others have said that certain other video/audio streaming apps or VoIP apps don't work.
They all seem to have network streaming in common. Is there a framework or something missing from the G-Tablet? If so, perhaps we can provide it in one of the unofficial f/w's

i can streamtalk radio
I use TuneIn radio, UPnPlay, and they both work. Iheartradio seems to not work with anything anymore, but has stations i like. Streaming seems ok here.
Interesting. Iheartradio works for me on my EVO 4G. So does the Xiiaalite (or whatever the shoutcast renamed streamer is now).
I got Xiiaalite to work briefly the other day. Then after about 5 minutes it said it kept buffering. Iheartradio did the same but never started.
I believe it *MIGHT* have something to do with the ads being taken away. I'm just guessing. Or a broken pipe somewhere, but that wouldn't make sense if some other streamers are able to do it.
**Correction** i Reverted Adfree back and Xiialivelite still doesn't work, nor does i heart radio (((
I've tried to find a TV/video streamer that works with no joy SBP TV most notably doesn't work though the app is running fine on my PDN. Crystal TV and others all give me the same problem in that they seem to be unable to open the video or audio streams.
I'm running TNTlite 2.0.2

Someone suggested in the Slingplayer thread that disabling stagefright fixes slingbox streaming. I wonder if it would work for other streaming apps.

I'll have to try that. Anyone here a VLC user? I can't seem to get it to work either with any of the apps out there on the market.
I'm using TVersity to do my streaming. It has a flash interface that works quite nicely. It's not exactly what I want but it gets the job done. It's a little bit of a pain to setup, but it's the only solution I was able to get consistently working.
I had trouble getting the Slacker app to stream. I'm running a TnT Lite which has a modified /etc/hosts file to reduce ads, so I edited /etc/hosts and took out all of the "extra" entries that roebeet put in and it works fine, now.
I understand there's an app in the Market that will do this for you if you're not comfortable editing /etc/hosts or just don't know how to do it. Supposedly you install the app and then click on Revert.
Gmote works to stream your PC media
Gmote is the only app I've found that streams video from my home media PC to the Gtab.
AndroStream and VLC Stream and Convert, will stream over RTSP, but Gtab only plays audio.
Stream with Orb Live
I got used to the OrbLive app. That thing works great on my EVO, anyone have any idea why it cant work on the GTAB ?
FWIW I'm streaming my home audio library with AudioGalaxy just fine on vegan beta 3.
With Orb, I had much better luck avoiding the app and just logging in at mycast.orb.com and using the web interface. I found that setting the User Agent in Dolphin HD to Android made it easier to use. I was even able to stream movies from my NAS, which is pretty cool!

I am running an MT-DAAP server at home and the DAAP program from the market loads and streats great on the Tab running Vegan.
I haven't tried any video streaming since there is no Myth front end for Android yet.
I didn't see a thread for the Crackle app from Sony that is free in the Market. This app gives you access to a lot of free movies and television shows. I have it installed on both of my gTabs (one running VEGAn 5.1.1 and the other running CyanogenMod 7.0.3 (stable)) and it runs great. I have noticed that during some times of the day it seems that the network connection between Crackle's servers and my house come to almost a crawl. Other than that it's another great free way to watch movies and t.v. shows on our gTabs.
Can you please share the latest version of the apk, all searches outside US gives us the 1.0 version (which don't run on the gtab).
TIA

I'm runnuing BOS from Roe with the latest edition and this will load and install.
Had audio for a while and no video.
Now nothing but a white screen when I hit the watch now button for Silverado which was the first movie listed.
How's this supposed to work-download the movie or is it streaming etc??
Saw a add to Que but don't know how this works.

I've never ran that ROM so I can only speak to my experience with a gTab running CM 7.0.3.
It streams the video like Netflix/Hulu/Fox TV, it doesn't download it like the BlockBuster app.
Like I said on my original post, at certain times of the day or with certain videos it seems the network connection is super slow which can lead to white or black screens with only audio as the app is trying to buffer the video. Try it when you have the best WiFi connection possible. When at home I have 12 mb downstream and it plays fine for me 90% of the time.
As for the queue, it's just that, a queue like on Hulu. It's sort of a playlist so if you have several shows or movies in your queue they will play one after the other automatically.

Well I'll try again and thanks for the info.
I must say, I'm pretty unimpressed with it. Its organization is a mess, and it looks like it just has rather unpopular shows and movies on it.
I might be wrong. But it seems to me that I'm sticking with Netflix for the time being.
Some of us are too cheap to pay for Netflix.
It's still got a few decent movies on there, and Seinfield and Married w/Children are a hoot for quick watching. It's at least worth a download, even if you only watch a couple of movies and uninstall it.
Pretty awesome Running G-Harmony and watching Ghostbusters as I type this! Thanks for posting!!
Thanks OP Great App. Works great on my GTablet and Droid X phone

It sounds like Crackle is using Flash. And it's a well known issue that flash only kind of works in Bottle of Smoke. Flash will play audio but not video. Knowing this I will not bother trying to install this on my tablet which is running GTabComb (which is a 1.1 bootloader derivative of BOS). The only reason YouTube app works on BOS is because it is probably using html5 instead of flash in the app.
Could you u post the latest version?

I would if I could find where the apk was saved to. I didn't find it in the usual \data\apps folder like all of my other apks.
Like this app. Just watched Resident Evil. Good flick.

It looks like some kind of RSS feed icon, it shows up when I put the video in landscape then won't go away. How do I remove/disable this?

I think that might be the chromecast icon but I'm not sure. Check if u have a connected tv under settings

I dont
I take it that this hasn't been "solved" yet? It is annoying.
Same problem here.
Galaxy Note2, suddenly I started seeing chrome cast icon on my YouTube videos.
Its was working just fne this morning. I dont have chrome cast device.
Any luck removing this thing.
This happens to me when I'm connected to my car through bluetooth. There has to be a TV or some other bluetooth device close by. When I turn bluetooth on then launch youtube the icon isnt there. But if I turn bluetooth off after I launch youtube the icon will not go away.
Open the app manager from the phone settings menu, find YouTube under the all tab and clear the default, cache, data, and force close. That did it for me. Also, if you do use cast or bluetooth, try to disconnect from the receiver when you're done. Not sure why it hangs like that.

I had this problem and looked around. The play store reviews mention it quite a bit, and I found a google circles comment saying they were aware of the problem. My only solution: download and install a prior version. I found the 5.1.10 apk for download by searching around.
I also went to play store and the youtube app and disabled automatic updating. I'll probably update it in a month or so and see if they've fixed it, yet, but still have the .apk of the older version on hand.
