This is becoming a pet peeve. I open a link to a page, say on Gawker, on my Nexus 7. There is an embedded YouTube clip, and no direct link to the video. The only thing I can do when I tap the video is play it embedded. There is no YouTube button or title to click. If I long-press I get a menu full of options that don't actually work when I tap them. The only way to get it into the YouTube app (and hence into Chromecast) is to search out the video on YouTube manually or locate the link using a desktop browser.
Is there any easy way folks here have come up with, to quickly take an embedded YouTube clip and force it into the YouTube app for casting?

i hav some blog subscription in RSS-hub (in this case: www.beppegrillo.it, if anyone want to try) with some youtube video embedded.
with my "old" touch cruise, when i tap on embedded video, it open youtube page optimized for mobile devices. then "streaming media" application start and video is loaded and played.
Now, with my diamond, RSS-HUB launch opera as a desktop, without any way to play video.
is there a way to solve this problem?
Google Reader is probably my most used app on my nook. The problem is when I read articles that have embedded YouTube videos. I can't watch them. All I see are black boxes where the video should be, and a message saying I need flash.
Thing is, some other articles, that do the same thing, will have a YouTube "thumbnail" for me to tap on to open that video with the YouTube app. When reading articles on my Palm Pre via Feeder, embedded videos do the same thing: open the YouTube app automatically.
Does anyone know why this is happening?
"Mobo Video Player pro" managed to run videos with no problems :]
Futurama - S05E12 - Spanish Fry.3gp
Test some other formats if you like.
I'm going to sleep.
inb4.. poor camera is poor.
EDIT : - There are some rendering glitches while playing .mp4's.
- .flv's work fine for 240p
Cinematic.
You can use "TubeMate" to browse and download YT videos. Then open them with another player.
also ...
-BSPlayer lite
-yxplayer (paid app) - plays online streams :]
-QQPlayer
works
Why the heck do I need videos on NST?
1. To have access to YT videos while I'm on the go (away from PC).
2. To watch original silent B&W movies (eg. Metropolis)
3. Because I can!

That's what I say for pretty much everything I do!
which app is best for NST? it would be great to have some app that can export mp3 track out of movie which than could be using USB host mode send to mobile phone. Playing both video track a and sound track would give one full exp.
could you please upload .apk of thins TubeMate somewhere?
http://m.tubemate.net/
It grabs video links from opera mobile/mini. :]
EIDT :
Protip -
Even if TubeMate shows "video not found" you can still download the video using an "arrow" icon at the bottom of the screen.
TubeMate makes mp3 also
TubeMate makes mp3 also. So you can download video file, mp3 file and they using usb host you can use 3d party mp3 player to have full b/w experience
You can view online streams in "Maxthon Browser" using "RockPlayer Lite".
Confirmed for :
-Novamov
You can't stream YT videos because it automatically connects to the mobile version of the site. Is there a way to force "desktop version" to load in NST browsers?
Ok..to summarize :
- For YT/Daily Motion videos use "jetVD" + RockPlayerLite set as a default player. ( "jetVD" does not hang when you try to watch the video)
- For online content :
1. open streaming site using 'Maxthon' (or any other browser that handles Flash)
2. when you see an empty flash frame press it long and than select "open in new tab"
3. Select "Play"
4. Select "RockPlayerLite" as a default player
5. Now you have an online stream running on your NST ;]
Checked on 'filebox'.

In the Android YouTube app, you can add videos to the TV queue easily by pressing a button when previewing the video.
Is this capability available with YouTube.com?

I was wondering this too. I looked all over but wasn't able to find a way to add to or view the queue from YouTube.com from a browser. Hopefully this will be added soon.
Not Yet

Thanks - wanted to make sure I wasn't overlooking it.
bump. want/need this
Yes, please this! With it, cross-device TV queue management capabilities.
The ability of being able to build up your TV Queue from PC browser would be very nice.
I too would like this. Right now I add stuff to a playlist then play the list from my device. Direct add to TV Queue would save me the step of choosing the playlist.
It looks like they just added this. It functions quite well.
I just found a pretty neat trick to do fullscreen.
Install the "Chrome Toolbox" which allows you to open flash videos by themselves, separate from anything else on that webpage.
Go to the page with the flash video you are playing. Cast that tab. Hover over the video and an icon will appear to allow you to put it on its own window. Chromecast will now only show the video, same as if you went fullscreen. Video quality seems better when the window is not minimized.

seems like a pretty good option.. I will give a try this evening..
my friend was able to cast fullscreen without using this add on thru mac os, but I wasn't able to do from windows
Most players have the option to popout, I think you can convert popup window into a tab and then cast. Works well but I haven't done it for ages and can't give you exact instructions
