Looks like something have changed att youtube because it's like the built in youtube application is suddenly struggling to play the high res videos. It's not a buffering issue, I've checked that already. Videos get short pauses now and then, almost like the hardware acceleration is disabled. I doubt I'm the only one experiencing this...
Could you link me to this youtube app, please? I went directly to the youtube site yesterday and streamed a couple of short vids which played ok but with buffering. It played in the stream app on the phone and I couldn't zoom it or do full screen. What does the youtube app do differently? Does it allow better streaming or full screen or something?
I mean the original youtube app thats pre-installed in the Diamond. It uses hardware acceleration to play videos with nice quality and smooth framerate, now it's not that good anymore so I'm guessing something have changed at youtube... It's strange though...

That app doesn't appear to be on my phone, the t-mobile compact 4.
Maybe your operator removed it from your Diamond rom??? You can install it separately, check here for info and the download: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=472940
Just make sure you install the VGA one... But you probably already knew that of course...

Yep, I suspect t-mobile did indeed remove it. Thanks for the link!
Your welcome If for some reason the app refuses to play the videos on your Diamond you might need to install the youtube fix aswell...: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2657501&postcount=164

Okey dokey, thanks. It's installed now and rebooting. I'll try the fix if it doesn't work. And no, I didn't know I needed the VGA version so thanks for pointing that out.
Ok, I installed the fix because the screen looked a bit messed up and the text is tiny and I can't seem to zoom in. Stil the same with the fix however the video runs very well. But, the capture area is a small square on the left bottom corner in landscape mode. I'll take some pictures of my screen for you.
Ok, here's 2 screenshots. It defaults to playing in landscape but only the small area you can see. Where I type to search, the letters are cut off (see 'CATS AND DOGS') and the text is microscopically small. Any adjustments I can make? Is it possible for the seartch to bring up more than 5 results?
At least it works though, very smooth playback.
That looks very strange... Videos should play fullscreen in landscape...
I suggest you to uninstall that version & the fix and get this version instead: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=481495
It's a newer version of the HTC youtube player, download the second link, the full version: http://www.uploadjockey.com/download/4336552/Youtube_v1.6.1820.4128_FULL.zip
I really hope this will solve your problems and make it work as it should, if not I'm out of ideas since I'm not an expert in this area...

Thanks man, I'll give it a try.
This is odd. I've installed it successfully and it shows up in 'remove programs' but it doesn't show up anywhere else, nowhere to be found in program files, (the other version did), so I can't start the app. This happened when installing to the internal storage, uninstalling it, and reinstalling to the device.
I'll reinstall the earlier version and then do the upgrade version, see if that helps.
Yes that worked! Thanks for the links owziee
I notice that I can scroll up and down the list of videos with the centre button, but it doesn't respond to screen touch with finger, is it meant to be like that? Anyway, not bothered, just wondering. I'm happy now, the quality is great, it's full screen and the text is normal size now.
No thats not normal, I can use my finger to scroll but at least you can watch the videos now. Maybe you'll find a fix for the scrolling issue.

I suppose it may be that because your Diamond came pre fitted with a youtube app that perhaps it was optimised to work with touch screen? Whereas mine is a t mobile phone which didn't come with youtube on it.
Check it out Qik. If you don't already know what it is, it's an app that allows you to stream live video from your G1 onto Qik's servers. Anyone with your url can then view the stream you are sending live. It also allows you to share the videos to facebook, twitter, and youtube.

ok this app is going to be AWESOME
its works fine when dl'ed through the market. off the site browser will force close. running SuperHero v2. thnx for the find!
my phone asked me to upgrade in the app itsself, sent me into the browser to dl the APK and it works fine
nice app thanks
I am wondering if anyone knows how to manually set white balance and shtuff like that to get video quality up.
It installed fine and doesn't seem to force close or anything, but when I go to their site to see my video it only records the first few seconds and nothing else. There was nothing during recording that seemed to show this. It appeared in the app to record until I hit stop which was around 30 seconds or more. Anyone else having this problem?

Just tried it and it worked fine for me. Maybe you lost your network for a moment so it hadn't finished uploading. I don't know
I'll keep trying, but I am 0 for 2 right now.

There is a new version in market, and it is stated that background uploading was added.
So I guess in your case uploading must have been stopped before all video was transferred.
Both video and audio stutter when playing media video. Tried on Youtube and Pornhub.
However this didn't happen before yesterday when i tried to play flash content http://www.ddsahyadri.in/liveTv.php. This happeed after this incident or maybe i never noticed this lag as i hardly use HP to stream video.
I tried to fix this, Disabled all addons( ublock origin, privacy badger,Https everywhere, Dark bg &Light text) and tried playback again, nothing changed. Video was still laggy.
I've reinstalled Firefox with no addons installed , still stuttering is present.
Anyone else have this issue ?
Have you tried to clear app data and try again?

Yes, yes i did.
So you don't have a choppy video playback on Firefox ?
No. But I don't use add-ons on mobile Firefox so I wouldn't know. Someone said that when under 20% phone becomes slower, maybe that's the deal? Also, did you restart your phone soon?

I have choppy playback everywhere on my Honor Play COR-TL10, ON YouTube, chrome and Instagram as well. It sucks
Hope EMUI 9 fixes it soon. Or we get a custom rom with good graces of developers

The battery was at around 80 percent.
At first i uninstalled FF then rebooted my device after which did a fresh install of FF with no extra addons.
The problem still persisted.
Seeing that nothing worked i thought the theme was maybe causing the issue so i removed the EMUI dark theme did a restart. Installed of FF performed a hard boot. And so after 3-4 reboots the videoplayback on Firefox is not choppy now : )

Hi All,
I have used my red magic 3 phone for about 9 months. Since then I have watched youtube videos, netflix, other torrent videos and mostly playing pubg mobile every night and I never come across to this experience (screen flicker).
This screen flicker only happens to one of the scene in youtube.
I am asking you guys, owner of red magic 3 to test this for me too, I am afraid this issue only happen to my screen and not yours. My phone is on Global ROM V2.18.
Here is part 1 and part 2 of my screen issue, some explanation is provided on the video description:
Part 1
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Emt9-pcNAlA
Part 2
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JaiHSd2qqnQ
How to test this:
1. Watch the original youtube video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7sQCmgCmN7U
2. Fast forward between 0:14 - 0:19
3. The flicker only happens at scene 0:16 - 0:18
Please let me know if this issue/flicker also happen on your phone too.
Any feedback is very much appreciated, thank you.
UPDATE FOR A FIX WORKING SOLUTION:
Do not use Youtube App but use Youtube Vanced instead, now any videos that previously has that screen glitch/flickering issue on Youtube, is gone while watching with Youtube Vanced.
Hi, has anyone faced this issue too ?
I have tried to Factory Reset my phone and the problem still persist. But if I download the video from youtube and copy to internal storage and play the video using local player or MX Player, the issue does not happen, kinda weird though.
This issue only happens with Youtube App, m.youtube but not with Netflix app and local video playback (MX Player)
It persists no matter what you do i have same issue

but how do I set the screen refresh rate to 60Hz ?
default refresh rate is 90Hz on home screen, only in game space I can set which app to 90 or 60.
do you have that same issue too ? (my first post youtube link)
Go to settings >display >refresh rate.
This option is only available in cn rom

I see. Alright I will note this for future reference.
In the meantime, I have just found the solution for the Youtube App glitch/flickering, which is to use Youtube Vanced instead.
You tube vance will cause flicker soon as i never used the official version of you tube

Hi does anyone here use the Plex app? I've used if for months to watch stuff on my home Plex server. I did the android 12 update yesterday...
Today if I play a file in Plex it works ok. But if I pause/exit the app and go back to it I can no longer resume playing. Even if I force close the app. The only thing that works is rebooting my phone.
Anyone else that can confirm this? Just so I know it's not a config issue my end.

I can't even get mine to play a movie or tv show. A lot of people are complaining on the Plex forums about this issue. One person factory reset their phone, didn't fix the issue.
Android 12 and UI4 have bugs, lots of them, nowhere near stable based on the many conflicts being posted. I'm not upgrading at this time, maybe never.
