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?
Sorry it may be a stupid question, but its aggrevating me.. what the point of youtube when you cant even watch your fav music video.. the real ones lol

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.

mycast.orb.com full screen video playing?

FYI, orb is a free PC program that allows streaming videos and music to clients (such as phones).
I use Orb mainly to watch recorded TV shows and Live TV shows on my phone. Let me know if there's an alternative method.
AFAIK, there are 2 ways to use Orb on Android phones.
1. Orblive app. The free version (with limitations) works well on Vogue and I assume the full one too. But the full version costs $10.
2. mycast.orb.com (free): The only working format for me is 3gp-aac/rtsp. But the problem is I think it's played in default video player (I don't know what it is) but I can't play it full screen. There are black bars on 4 edges.
How do I change to a default player that allows full screen playback?

Thanks for turning me on to this. It works very well too. I can watch live tv, recorded tv, schedule recordings, moniter my webcam, you name it. Thanks again

Can I play music from my network storage without my PC being on? I use Orb on my PC, phone, and Xbox 360.

Suggest all in one Audio Video Player

New guy to the Android world. Looking for an 'all in one' app that will play my audio and video collection on my PC. IE, one app to play both audio and video. I've seen variations of VLC but noticed mixed reviews. All suggestions are welcome. Thanks in advance.

Personaly y love real player bet. it just makes some videos to play smoothe when other players dont even open the videos. It is all in one, the only bad thing is that (i thin) there is no external sd support)

Orb
I really like Orb Live. I have it installed on my server at home that is on 24/7. There is a paid app in the app store for it but before you get too excied it doesnt seem to be working well at all with my G Tab. I do still love it though for my Evo and any other computer I can access it from. It streams all of my music (it attaches itself to my iTunes library and playlists) and my movies and photos...plus it gives me access to the files on the computer too. Also one cool feature is it streams my TV tuner I have on my server. Its only basic cable but its nice still since I travel a whole bunch for work (I am on my way to Paris right now) I can watch all of my local channels remotely.

Amazon Cloud Drive and videos

I am very please (like several other users) with the new Amazon cloud drive. I even purchased an album so I can get 20GB free for one year! So I uploaded some episodes of my favorite TV show (Futurama) in HD which worked flawlessly. I can watch them in the browser from my PC or select individual files to download them again. Now, when I try to check the box for the file on my Xoom (either in Dolphin HD or stock browser) nothing happens. Same when I click on the link that on my PC plays the video.
This for me defeats the main purpose, i.e. to centrally upload videos so I can watch them when on the road or on vacation, without using the precious space on my Xoom. Does anyone have an idea why this is happening? The playback issue might be related to the plugin that the browser needs to play the file but what about the check box?
Thanks for your suggestions!

I don't see the offer for a 20 Gb upgrade w/album purchase. Is it automatic? And also, is it just for the first year?
TIA

for 1 year after you purchase any album from their website.
also its more like a 15gig upgrade since you go from 5-->20
its automatic although when you want to buy an album you should see some promo regarding it on the page

It was all automatic, yes. The good thing is that if you do not actively renew they won't charge you automatically at the end of the first year but cut you back to 5GB (as of now).
But does anyone have an answer to my question!!??

It appears to use something our browsers don't support. Which is odd, only thing I can guess is that it uses a quicktime plugin. That or they are acting like netflix and hulu and don't want us Android users watching Video.
I will say that while I like CloudPlayer, I hate it's Shuffle option. It's not random at all. If you close the app and go back in it starts from the begining even though shuffle is on, and then takes you through the same "Shuffle" of music. Only way I have found to truly shuffle is to pick the first song in your list and turn the shuffle on and off several times. then it resorts.

Amazon doesn't link their video library to the cloud player either. I've been able to play videos off of the browser app in the Xoom but would much rather have a dedicated app.

if amazon had a dedicated streaming video player i would so ditch netflix in a heartbeat

I don't have it in front of me at the moment but I believe it was Amazon Video Library running in Miren Browser. The videos were not the greatest quality, pretty much all I have on Amazon is NickJr stuff for my daughter.

Just wanted top follow up on this. I'm having no problem at all with amazon video library stuff, Nick Jr., in Dolphin, although I do get a warning. Wasn't as lucky trying to play Prime videos, froze up right away.

Storing music on the G Watch R

Hey guys,
I am having some issues with getting my music on to my watch. I uploaded my private music to Google play music on my computer and then I installed Google play music on my phone. There I can listen to my private music without a hitch, so it all basically works.
Now when I tick the option to store it on my watch for offline playback, nothing happens... It won't start syncing, no matter what I do =/
Will it only sync music that I actually bought through the play store?
Or has anyone else gotten it to work so far?
Thanks in advance!
Cheers
Michael

I'm not sure if it is relevant but are you a play music subscriber, i.e paying the £7 or whatever the price is?
I got my watch today and had no problem getting the music to download.
With the option selected, go back to your library and click on the download button again, that might work?
Best of luck and merry Christmas

Yeah I am a subscriber.
I downloaded a playlist from google play music and it synchronized with my watch right away. Just the Musik I uploaded from my pc won't sync.
Could it be because it's missing IDE3 Tags? Or because the names are wrong or so?
Edit:
OK, problem solved! Probably a rather stupid mistake I made, but I bet there are others out there as clueless as me... So here's the solution: The music from the Google play music app is ONLY synced to the Android wear watch, once it is downloaded onto the phone as an offline playlist. It makes perfect sense, of course, but I didn't quite get it in the beginning... So what I did, was create a playlist with my private music and checked the "download to device" button. Once the download was done, it automatically sent it to my LG watch.
Thanks for the reply anyway and a merry Christmas to you too!
