Hey all,
I have an issue with certain websites video with the flash plugin. Basically some sites (gametrailers.com as an example) have the full-screen icon missing when playing back a video...
Any other way to make it proper full-screen with just zooming? It's restricts video quality playback and just annoys me!
Thanks in advance!!

That's actually what I'm using. However the full-screen icon is still missing - however it's only with certain websites (gametrailers.com as mentioned is one)
It's really odd..

Anyone having issues with Facebook loading up both on the web browser and on the market app?
I wonder if it's just not playing nicely with Honeycomb and won't play well with the browser due to Flash support??
Any thoughts. I'm very confused on this...

Just tried both. No issues here.
Mine didn't work until I removed the fb widget from the home screen.

The app stinks right now. I've saved the web version as an icon on my homepage. Looks great but I've noticed some lag using the forms on facebook

The facebook apps works for me, although the size, proportions and orientation all look pretty funky. By using facebook through the browser I havnt had any major issues other than when u click on a picture, it brings up their new picture viewer. The always seems to hang on me or I have problems closing it.

I think I am getting poor quality from Plex when connected to the TV its pretty pixelated... anyone else have that? Or is it an option I haven't played with

Too little information to give you a good answer. But yes, there are options for streaming bandwidth for example that can affect quality.
On the main settings page on the plex app on the xoom, you can change bandwidth that it uses over local, over wan, and over 3g (not useful on wifi xooms). Above 2mbps and all my HD moves and tv shows look 100% HD on the xoom with no jitters, stutters, blurring, nor fragmentation. Couldn't be happier. I'm pretty sure that is the one major setting which will affect quality. That and the quality of the input video of course
edit: Also, I'm pretty sure there is an option to down-mix DTS to stereo on the server through the web browser interface. I would definitely recommend enabling that for playback on the xoom.
Ok all settings were on auto. Changes local to 5mbs but what is remote WiFi... when you are on WiFi but the media isnt?
Thanks

Remote Wifi is when you are still on Wifi, but a different network from your server (at a friend's or halfway across the world). The most important factor here is the upload speed capability of your server. I keep my Local at 5mbps, remote at 2mbps, and don't have 3g so can't comment on the last option (mobile broadband, 3g, or whatever they have it labeled, cant remember).
edit: Check out the Plex wiki on their website. It will answer pretty much every question you can think of. Extremely informative.
Looking better already! Odd that auto doesn't set itself pretty good when its local!
Also anyone have issues with video freezing when going into settings or pausing and the screen locking?

Since when does auto work right on anything?
No issues here, everything works perfectly.

The developer mentioned somewhere that the auto detection is pretty poor and that they would be working on it more in the future. The other advice about tweaking for each connection type is spot on as well

Well, this is actually my first Android Phone, I've only used a Android Tablet before and my tablet had a YouTube App with an HD, not a HQ, function.
So my Question: Is there a YouTube HD App for android 2.3.5/6?
HQ kinda sucks on the note screen.
why use an app when you have a browser? just go on youtube.com, choose your video and choose the resolution for it there.

For some reason the newer version of the YouTube app does not offer the HQ option...so you will have to go back to the 2.1.6 version...
Find a jetvd apk, it's no longer in the android market, you can choose hd there and stream through your video player in hd (you can also use it to download youtube vids in hd) . HQ on the official app is only 480p no HD option so far. I also would be interested in hearing about any other apps that can stream HD youtube vids.

This is awesome, not a complete replacement for the youtube app but better than nothing and still a bit more comfortable than the browser
Jetvd gets to available options screen, I touch the thumbnail and nothing happens. I set a download folder and Im on wifi. So far jetvd sucks. J/k just cant get it to work.
Try Tubemate from the App Store. Dunno if its full HD but choosing the highest setting looks pretty cool on the Note, way better than the YouTube app. Being able to download vids is a nice bonus.

Guess I was referring to HQ. Tried I screenshot and the video didn't show for some reason. Shame because it was a good one

tubemate is good, it lets you download or stream in any resolution available for the video. I prefer to download the videos in 720p or 1080P and play back that way if I want to watch it again I keep it saving future bandwidth and it looks much better then HQ in the yt app which is probably only 480P.
You can view yt in browser in desktop mode and select resolution but going full screen generally is a pain and doesn't look as good as a 720P or higher download in tubemate. Best to get tubemate from the official site tubemate.net as there are dodgy versions around even been some bad infected ones on market apparently according to the aps developer.
......I finally got it to run on the default internet app. But all other browsers fail to run flash.
I installed an older version to get it to run on the default browser btw.

I just sent them an email asking about YouTube in particular. Dolphin plays the video, but no picture; I can only hear the audio. I've tried in many user agents same thing. YouTube plays fine on chrome....

Chrome doesn't use flash plugins so any videos viewed would be HTML5.
Boat Browser is another that still supports Flash Player.

I'll try that then. The stock browser is to plain even tho I have the flash player working on there

Right, but according to YouTube, everything has, or almost has been converted to HTML5, yet Dolphin doesn't play any video.... I can't imagine I've only tried the ones that are still only in flash format....

What cheesy said. Look in your players settings and make sure Lyrics is checked..Then once you are playing a song, tap the little music note thingy in the top corner and it will bring up a Windows Media type screen with background animations AND the lyrics to your songs. I also have my WiFi only UNchecked so it will find the lyrics to anything I add on the fly

No need to mods, just install tunnel bear. I set to UK server then open and connect it. Then open your music and let it update to grace note server.
Note:
After atleast one of your music liyrics comes out, you can dissconnect your tunnel bear from server, its only need once to connect. Then you dont need it anymore.
Here is the link
