Why is it search results are completely different to the ones on the website?
Ones I am talking about are music ones. If I search for example "Message In A Bottle" by The Police on the website, I get the official music video plus a whole heap of others.
But when I search in the HTC app, the original song or video doesn't come up, it's just all "live" versions or covers...
This is the same for any artist...very rarely does the official video for the song come up...and it's VERY annoyoing.
Is there something we can change to get better search results?
Not sure how much help this is, but if you go to m.youtube.com via IE, any video you play there will open in htc's youtube player.

Some of the Youtube downloads via Realplayer download manager don't play on ppc players like TCPMP and Coreplayer, I presume it is because they are flash 8?
Is there an on-line Youtube downloader which simultaneously converts the file into the correct format to play on PPCs with minimal loss of quality? It would be great if it had a search function online too. I have tried sites like mobytube but this one doesn't:
a) The search doesn't return all the available videos that you would see in Youtube website.
b) lets the user download all the ones that have been returned in the search.
WVD made by one of the forum members here is pretty awesome. You can also get a plug in to play flv on TCPMP. My phone is a lowly 200mhz model and it can play them fine. A lot of the sites listed in WVD also have a 3gp option for downloading, though they are usually at lower quality. The .72 (NOT .8x) version of TCPMP can play FLV4 (youtube "hd") movies with a plugin but it was nowhere near watchable on my phone. Would play a second and stop, play a second and stop, etc... My phone lacked the horse power.

Is anyone aware of an app that will allow you to watch your youtube playlists, and it will jump to the next playlist item automatically? I've scoured appbrain and the app market and I haven't found anything similar yet.
I like to add a lot of random music I find on youtube to playlists and review it later, and it would be nice to listen to this while I'm driving, but the built-in youtube app just plays one item at a time and stops. I know there are a lot of apps that let you download youtube videos to your phone, but that is really too slow and overkill for what I'm trying to do.
I guess Flash on Froyo may be an option once it's available, but it seems like this wouldn't be that hard of an app to put together.
So my last cell phone was the HTC shadow from Tmobile. It was windows based and could do everything this phone can albeit with older hardware tech, yet I could play a youtube video or some streaming audio from a website then go back to the browser and start surfing the web and reading other sites, while the audio played in the background.
The G2x is my first android device and not only does the battery life suck, but now I find that I can't even multitask! I've searched if the G2x or any android device could stream music/audio and browse at the same time and found no adequate answer. The only one that gave me hope was to hold down the home key and you'd get the last 6 apps you've used, but this still it does not work, and the music/audio cuts off the moment I want to browse in another window.
Is there anyway to listen to an audio on one window, open another and surf the net, while the audio is still playing in the other window?
I don't know exactly which applications you're using, but this works fine for me with Pandora -- keeps right on playing while I browse.
I think he is trying to browse and use sound from a youtube video at the same time. I have never needed to do this. If you get an app like Pandora and Grooveshark you can stream music and do whatever you want at the same time.
Sounds like he is trying to stream audio from a website via the web browser. the web browser needs to be on screen with the screen on and unlocked for sound to stream.
however if you use an app like pandora or soundcloud you can let it run in the background
Yeah, I tried playing a Flash-based stream in the browser; the OP is right, as soon as I switched to a different window within the browser or switched to a different app, Flash stopped streaming. Same thing with YouTube. I don't know why. The hardware and OS are certainly capable of it, as shown by Pandora, etc.
Try SkyFire.
Back to the days I was using Nexus One 2.2. I was only able to play BBC iplayer with Flash background was SkyFire. When you get video prompt when you're about to play flash-based player, let SkyFire runs on its own way. In which you can play it in the background.

I've. Tried it on dolphin, skyfire, stock and other free browers and each time I play a video on YouTube or an audio mp3 stream from a particular site then try and open another window to browse the audio cuts of. Only when I make that window active will the audio video begin to stream again. This feature should be standard, since all windows mobile smart phones can do this, no problem.
Right now, if I go to a site that plays videos in flash, like Break.com for example, it will play the video on the website as if it was a desktop. and there is almost no way for me to control it because the buttons are too small (pause/play, skip, etc). In iPhone that would pop out and be played with quicktime player or whatever that native thing is. anyway to do this on this phone?
I don't believe you can do this with embedded flash videos. And just for comparisons, neither could the iPhone (with flash videos, that is).
Yeah, iPhone couldn't play flash videos at all. Only I think HTML 5 videos.
I did figure something out last night though. In dolphin browser I set user agent to iPhone. I was able to get videos that iPhone would "pop out" to also "pop out" and play with MX Player. So that was pretty cool
I also found that if I hit the fullscreen button while watching actual flash videos, it seems Dolphin has a sort of built in tool for that and it actually shows full sized buttons for pause and stuff. Though it would be cool if any/all videos popped out to play on MX Player.
might as well change the thread title to "How can I watch porn vids"
^ lol. Upnplay + Dice Player works great. Another of my favorite players is Stick It. Allows a floating player window that you can move/resize.
MX Player is one of the simplest and most elegant players I have ever used. However, it baffles me that I have to keep searching on the internet for streams that I've already viewed (e.g. if I want to watch a speech again, I have to find the link all over again as it only stores the last viewed stream link). MX Player should keep a list of previously viewed streams. This would really help us!
I thought that when you have the network stream popup open with no text entered, it shows a list of most recent entries? I get this.
You're right, I get that too. But, it's not intuitive. MX Player has always been intuitive, except here.
Suppose I have a bunch of video links that look like:
//r3---sn-vgqsenek.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?requiressl=yes&shardbypass=yes&cmbypass=yes&id=c2672f2fb5e&itag=22&ipbits=0&expire=1431044482&sparams=cmbypass,expire,id,ip,ipbits,itag,mm,ms,mv,nh,pl,requiressl,shardbypass,source&signature=7731E43598E560ECFA73803FEBC928282F&key=cms1&cms_redirect=yes&mm=31&ms=au&mt=1428859066&mv=m&nh=IgxMjcuMCLjE&pl=18
Hard to tell them apart. Thus, a way to create a list of streams would be very helpful.
Agree with you
It will be very helpful if MX player has the option that save the list of Network Stream.
Thanks!

Actually it won't work for most of the streaming links. For example the above given link is temporary. Once the session expires you cannot stream the same link. You will get only error. It's same with most of the streaming sites. They use session to avoid hot linking of any video file.
