Youtube in desktop mode - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Well, I wanted to know if YouTube worked fine for you guys in desktop mode on any browser.
My Videos are never aligned properly, half of the time the buttons don't work and I cant view in more than 360p without having a terrible lag! Is it how it is supposed to be in the captivate? I searched a lot about this but didn't find anyone mentioning it so I thought i should ask

That's exactly why there is a YouTube app on your phone...

yes.
that's why the mobile app exists. phone can't handle the hd stream, the rendering and audio that a laptop with 2GB ram can. you've got less than 1/2 GB on cappy.

MLB.TV Flash Working???

I have an htc incredible and we havent got froyo yet, but I was wondering when and if we did if mlb.tv would work on it. Is it working for anyone with a N1 with 2.2? When using my phone and if i login it will open the window to play the video but it just sits there and never opens anything. Even if you dont have a mlb.tv account you should be able to see if it plays video. Just wanted to know.
TIA

you might have to set the browser to desktop....
then again, i was on the Rolex website yesterday, and it ran kind of slow, but hell, the flash is so intensive, it runs slow on my desktop too.
edit: nevermind... I should have read your post a little better.
videos play fine.

I just tried in my home connection and phone connection. I could load the video player for a game played earlier today and even got the video to start playing once, but it was a horrible process and the video appeared to be really choppy. It is worth mentioning that my home internet connection is very slow ( less than 1mbps ) and I can't get consistent 3g anywhere in my house ( I live in rural Idaho ). Next time I'm in town I will give it a try and report back.

were you on 3g?
Just tried it in 3g. No go. The video is way too choppy. It displays a message saying the video isn't optimized for mobile viewing.

A quick note: I didn't try any of the 3rd-party browsers. I have a feeling SkyFire might be able to handle it.

Different video player from dk27 to eb13

I didn't really use DK27 very much but I remember the stock video player had the ability to bookmark videos and the stock player on eb13 doesn't seem to be able to do that. That kinda seems like a downgrade but maybe it'll make the player work smoother. Are any more of the stock apps changed from dk27?

Tried Dice, they only had the free version available on the market. Anyways, video quality is horible and hardware acceleration isnt working... I have my note on tablet mode (lower density) so it could be a reason.
thanks though

Anyone else get laggy video?

Anyone else get laggy video while watching Youtube or Netflix on their Galaxy 8.9 ICS? (I have a 10.1 ICS as well and the lag is the same).
I have noticed similar activity.

I'm not sure about netflix but I've got same stuttering/laggy HD videos in the youtube app as well after the update to ICS. It no longer streams HD videos smoothly. Switching HD off makes it play fine. I'm running stock ICS, and on HC it was smooth. Watch this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2YJggBVdeI
in youtube app. The stuttering is quite annoying, every 5-10 seconds.
It's not my bandwidth. I don't know if this is an ICS issue or the youtube app issue, but my phone with ICS has no problems playing HD videos in youtube app. Does anyone know a fix ? Thanks.

I'm getting the same problem too! Pretty frustrating. I'm happy with the ROM otherwise. Can anyone help?
Same problem myself. Downloading the YouTube video with Tubemate and there's no problem. No clue how to fix it. :/
Same here
HD videos in youtube that used to play flawlessly now stutter as mentioned above after the update to ICS. Is their an official samsung grievances forum where we can all go and put this as a bug?

Isn't the YouTube app from Google? Anyway, yes I do get the stuttering on some hd videos mainly those with a lot of action. I bet there is something wrong with the codec used by the YouTube app.

I bet not. Using AOKP it is fine, no stuttering. Samsung released something half baked.

Video streaming not functioning - CM10

As the title suggests, I'm unable to stream video, this all happened after upgrading from CM9 to CM10. I've tried different apps, YouTube, TED, Netflix, neither work.
I can watch regular videos just fine, including 720p.
Any ideas what's up?

Did you tried those streaming videos on any other phones as well.
Yes, the videos work fine on other devices...
I am able to watch clips stored on my phone, regular files, and I am able to watch clips on other devices (watched some 720p videos from my laptop with MX Player)
I am unable to stream video whether they are in the browser, the YouTube app; TED Talks app; Netflix app, or anything else.
What happens when I try is the thing loads, the duration of the clip is shown in the progress bar, but it refuses to play, just goes in an endless loop of looking like the buffering is finished.

try vplayer and see if it helps
I don't think you understand.
I don't have a problem with regular video clips (which is what vplayer does), i have a problem solely with streaming video.

Hi. First of all, did you fix permissions when you installed cm10? Was it a clean install? If so, try to stream your videos over WiFi, not over EDGE network. A few months ago I was unable to watch you tube videos on my PC and on my phone over WiFi (over 3G network it worked) and I called my ISP after that, in 2 days everything was just like before. YouTube worked again. So, it may be a problem with your ISP too (if using WiFi from home although is less probable).
Ultimately you can try dalvik/cache wipe and reinstall cm10 or try a different ROM, maybe it's gonna solve the problem.
I hope this helps.
Naw it wasn't a clean install (when going from CM9), I did the usual dalvik wipe but that was it. I was going to do a clean install once CM10 stable came out anyway, so I guess I'll take your advice and do a proper upgrade now...
The problem is persistent btw, wifi or 3g doesn't make a diff, but lets see what happens after the wipe.
Thanks

So I did a proper install: full wipe, installed cm10 stable, and flashed semaphore kernel 2.6.0.
After restoring my backup, everything worked. YouTube, TED, Netflix, regular video playback, all good.
Then today, no go, video playback works, but streaming video in either apps no longer works.
The only difference between today and before is that I tried using H/W+ decoder in MX Player, could that have broken it somehow?
Before posting I fixed permissions and rebooted, no change.
Ideas?
