[Q] Youtube HQ vids

I was curious if anyone has problems playing the vids on youtube that are HQ. If I turn off the HQ for the the vid then it plays no problem.
When I leave it on, a msg from the app displays just saying there was a problem playing your video please retry.
I've experienced this only in one other app recently released by funimation.
Hulu and netflix work fine for me. I have tried a multitude of roms to see if its linked to specific ones.

Question has been asked a million times . Anyways here's your answer, you need to use an older version of the youtube app for HQ to work. AFAIK the last working version is 2.1.6. Happy youtubing!

I have seen this a million times as well. But I never really paid any attention because I didn't care.
But yesterday I was testing some system app mods, so I ended up downloading YouTube from the market. HQ videos were playing for me.
I guess that's unusual or whatever. Maybe they weren't really HQ quality, I don't know. But they were playing.
Me and the kid watched funny cat videos for over an hour.
Non-opengl, no system mods that would matter.

That's interesting, what rom are you using?
Could you try it out again and report back?

I was afraid it was something app related. Its not a big deal. Was mostly curious as well as seeing if I could do some tweak to get the funimation app to work as well. Thanks for the help!

For those of us who want to use the older version until things get fixed or worked around in the roms, how can I hide the older apk from the market so I don't get spammed all the time to update?

Go to settings in market/play store and tell it to not notify you of any updates.

Okay, well I had flashed a couple of times since I posted that, and when I went to try it again, it didn't work. I knew I wasn't wrong the other day, so I reflashed what I thought I had been running before, and now the HQ videos are working with the current market YouTube.
The change between working and not working was I didn't flash the "take1" kernel like I had before.
So this is the setup. I am running a straight build from source, without opengl. I built it myself, but that shouldn't matter. It was built on April 8th, and comes with the standard kernel (no NAT filter or any of the new commits.)
The only difference between mine and the eyeballers (not counting any cherry-picking he may be doing) is that I compiled in a port of PDroid. There are some changes to some system apps, but I don't think that would matter.
Basically, anyone running a straight flash of eyeballer's April 8 build should have the same ability to run the videos with the HQ button on or off. I will not swear they are true HQ videos, I don't know that for certain. But the videos run either way.
EDIT: Let me know if anyone else has this working. I don't know much about YouTube or the whole HQ/HD thing and may be losing my mind.
I thought I had isolated the problem to a gapp, but now am not so sure. I will test again if no one else can get these working. I have uninstalled and reinstalled a bunch of stuff, and don't want to keep doing it if everyone can see HQ with the above setup.
Maybe everyone can in any setup and only the few people on this thread haven't realized it yet. idk.

Ah I see you are using a CM9 build. There might be something to that. I'm on CM7.2 . Maybe in CM9 it got fixed somehow.

I thought it was working in cm7 as well. Maybe it was just a modded app though, which is no better than an older apk.
Well, unless someone with cm9 tells me it's unique, I will just assume everyone has it working. They probably do, I have never looked at it before I saw this thread the other day.

My experience has been that HQ sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. I believe it is due to the actual quality of the video being played. For non-HD videos the HQ is lit up and the movie loads and plays fine. For HD videos that are actually HD you get the error message and have to uncheck HQ to get the video to play.
I have had this experience in several different configurations:
eyeballer's opengl builds, original kernel
eyeballer's opengl builds, updated kernel
eyeballer's opengl 4.9, updated kernel take 2 (current setup)
I would like to know if others have the same experience with "HQ" working for what seem to be non-HD videos and not working when the video actually appears to be HD.

On other Wifi I had the same problem but these was public and I'm not shure if they had enught capacity (of they were overloaded).
i did not installed the flash. I see that the Adobe has canceled the flash from app store. Do you have and recomendation for replacement flash player?

I have no idea what it could be... You can try to reflash. Maybe there's something wrong with your OS.

Issues With Chromecast

Hi All, I've just joined this forum so apologies if this question has been asked before..
I recently bought the chromecast and so far loving it! But lately whenever I try and cast a tab from Google Chrome to play a video (not Youtube), the video plays fine, but previously using Win+T I could toggle between the tab (currently playing full screen video) to another browser and use it simultaneously. I now find this is impossible, and not sure what the issue is. If I toggle between tabs, the video playing also minimizes..
Any help would be greatly appreciated and not sure if I have managed to explain it properly!
Thanks in advance..

Thank you for your quick reply! Reading the link you gave me I guess this is a known issue post update unfortunately...
I tried doing all the steps others have mentioned, but it still hasn't worked for me. Do you know if there is any other workaround for this or if Google is planning on fixing this in the future?

The "Fullscreen anything" extension didn't work for you?
I'm not sure whether it's Chrome itself, the page, the graphics card/driver, or what, but different people get different behavior.
I also don't know if it's meant to fullscreen on the desktop while doing other things or not. Might be the folks who have it working are just lucky.
Worth putting in a Chrome and Chromecast report anyway. If Google sees enough feedback, maybe they'll take a look.

YouTube?

Got my new Gear Vr today from Best Buy (shipped in two days online) and it's been awesome. One thing I was wondering though, how do I access all those 360 videos on YouTube?

Use the Samsung Internet app.

Care to show how?
When I use the Samsung browser to see youtube 360 videos, all it shows is the flat video on the browser. How do we get the head tracking and inside the video effect?
Thanks!

As far as I know, there's no true solution for this. I too am looking for a real fix. Everything I've found so far involves downloading the videos to the phone locally. Not what I want...

In the SAMSUNG internet app, tap the full screen button in the bottom right corner then the integrated video player will give you the option to play the video as a side by side 3D or as a 360 video

A better solution in my opinon
Hey if you want to watch you tube videos in the theater setting then go to sideloadvr.com and check out the youtube 360 cinema. Youll have to follow the guides on the site to 1. verify your phones signature, then sign your own apks to be validated with your device. Their is a automated process but didn't work for me I had to do it manually. Also the vrstream app is amazing, you can stream nvidia based computer games to your theater setting as well its quite breathtaking if you need any help hit me up.

Correct me if I'm wrong but this app load only flat youtube videos? I was not able to use 360 effect, just flat screen. I was hoping for some real 360 experience.

You need the newest Youtube app for you to see 360 video. The older ones will not work.

All you have to do is open the youtube app. You can use google cardboard icon on the bottom right. I have uploaded 3d 360 videos to youtube and it works seamlessly.

One UI Beta Issue With Youtube TV

I installed the leaked One UI beta for my T-Mobile Note 8 yesterday and I haven't really had any major issues other than with Youtube TV. It works perfectly fine in portrait mode, but when I rotate my screen to landscape or hit the full screen button on the video, the screen goes black. The audio still plays, but only a black screen is displayed. All the on screen buttons still show up and work when I tap the screen, but nothing will get the video back until I go back into portrait mode. On the pop out player, I noticed the same issue, video working when in portrait and black during landscape mode. Normal Youtube and other video apps work fine on full screen.
I've already tried uninstalling/reinstalling the app, clearing caches, and going through all the settings to try and find a fix but have been unable to do so. Can anyone else on the beta see if they have the same issue with Youtube TV?

It does the same on ALL video apps. Netflix, VUDU, etc...

Actually I've found that sling and hulu work fine on it. However just an fyi I did do a dirty flash so that could be why. All other streaming apps I have don't work though.

Could you kindly explain how do I enter/participate in the Android Pie beta for Note8?
Where did you download the beta version from?

I didn't even think to test it out on other video apps aside from Youtube. Netflix and VUDU didn't work, but Hulu did. How did you flash the update?

I did that too just by using the update.zip file. Hulu worked for me as well. Hopefully we get another update for the beta that fixes this.

Mine was a clean update. I have a N950U1, so I used ODIN to flash the CRK1 firmware, wiped, and then flashed DRL6 in recovery.

I didn't test Sling or Hulu since I don't use those services.

I have closed beta on my note 8 and experiencing same issue on Netflix,hbo go, att watch TV app in landscape mode bit like other have started audio works. Where as regular YouTube app works fine in landscape

Just FYI, it affects Amazon Video, too.
