Youtube Video Download Problems with Dolphin Browser

Apologies in advance if this is in the wrong place, but I cannot seem to download videos from Youtube using the latest Dolphin Browser on my N1.
To clarify, I went to m.youtube.com on WIFI, searched for the video that I want, clicked it, then clicked Download This Video in the pop-up. I then saved the file as video.mp4. However, nothing happens, nothing is added to the download list, and nothing along the lines of video.mp4 appears in Astro.
Anyone can advise on this?

^ does your program have anything to do with Android? I don't think it is what he's asking for
if you want to download youtube, why not use Tube Downloader in the market, it is free

I EVEN CAN'T access to my youtube, i email them [email protected]
and the problem has solved
i use the latest version dolphin browser HD v5.0

i prefer the mini version.
as a beginner, i really appreciate their timely support.

ESPN3 on g-tablet

With the installation of flash, I was hoping to be able to watch games streamed from ESPN3. When clicking a link to watch a live stream, the player window opens, but it remains blank.
I tried this on the stock browser, and on Firefox mobile (fennec). Anyone else tried it?
My g-tablet:
Stock Tap'nTap with 1.01 update
LauncherPro
Rooted

ESPN on g-tablet
You may want to verify that your flash setup is working properly. I also have Tnt 1.01 + flash (folio apk), and ESPN3 live streams work fine for me. I'm watching Boston College vs. Texas A&M right now. The only difference is that my gtablet is not rooted.

How might I do this?
Does it involve editing the stagefright setting in the build.prop file? I seem to recall something about this.
What browser are you using?

It works for me in Dolphin HD on TNTLite 2.0 with the Flash fix.

Go to the adobe flash website (search in google for Adobe - Flash Player
Once the website page is loaded, if it's working properly, the flash logo will appear and it will tell you flash is installed successfully.
I'm using the stock browser that comes with the gtablet.

OK.
I edited the first line of where "stagefright" is listed, in the build.prop file. I changed it to "false". I rebooted and started the default browser. ESPN3 streaming is now working. I will also try it in Firefox.

I want to say that the quality of the streamed video is great!
Since I am a Linux user, flash video in general sucked. Mainly because Adobe refuses to make a Linux version that has hardware acceleration. I have resorted to booting an old WinXP HTPC that I have, when I need to watch a game on ESPN3. That picture was OK, with occasional hiccups. The video on the g-tablet is about the same. Since this is Linux based, I did not expect it.
Still haven't tried it on Firefox.

The video window still remains blank on Firefox Mobile. I guess it is a Firefox issue, not a g-tab or Android issue.
Does anyone know what the default browser is? I heard that it may be the Google Chrome browser. I installed Google Chrome on my Atom based netbook, but the video is horribly choppy. If I could install OpenOffice/LibreOffice on the tablet, the netbook would be history!

[Q] is youtube blocking 360p and above in browser?

I can view anything at or above 360p from YouTube via default or dolphin browser?
The default YouTube app sucks dong cuz it buffers forever and I can't change quality of video...
If anyone know why I can't choose 360p in browser please let me know.

In the YouTube app there is HD button to switch between SD HD.
If you visit the desktop version of YouTube on the xoom you will have the same options as you would on your computer.
If you don't know how to do that search for about:debug ua string.

I am running desktop UA but YouTube would not play anything above 360p in browser.
Is it only me?
I prefer YouTube in browser than the dumb app.

Same issue here, seems to have just started a couple of days ago as it worked fine before when watching 720p in the browser. Now no videos work in pluse, stock browser or dolphin. Just get "an error, try back later". So then I click to go to the YouTube page for the video and still does not work. The only way to work is to swtich the ua string to android, I use the dolphin toggle extension but it is very annoying to have to do this all the time, I don't want to view mobile site on my tablet. Wtf is Google doing this, why block tablets from seeing HQ video, the main differentiation between their offerings and the ipad.

My guess, something to do with copyright. I personally think that its stupid to block mobile video in the first place.

I have had no issues. 720p plays in browser. Check your settings for playback on the YouTube site. If that don't work. Clear data for browser. That will loose all your bookmarks etc though.

Got the same problems myself now.

R u using desktop ua or android?

I have no problems with it either way. If its android it just loads the mobile then I click on open desktop site. When on desktop it just goes right to desktop of course. No issues.

Cant watch any videos on the desktop site now.

You should be able to watch 240p

You're right, but that sucks.

Are you guys having the problem with stock Adobe Flash or only the modified version of Adobe Flash for hulu.com support?

Youtube doesn't even play for me with the flash from manta rom...

I have the modified hulu version.

am also using modified hulu version....

In my version of the hulu flash, all I modified was the version number and from Android to Windows so unless youtube now actually verifies the version number along with the version type, that may be the reason. There is a new version of Adobe Flash released yesterday, I will modify it as usual and will report the results here since I can't do much with hex editing as that is the only known hack.

can you post please because I would like to watch YT on my xoom again.

If you all are still having troubles with your Youtube on the Stock Browser, Dolphin, Opera, or Firefox, can you please give me some more details on your settings?
When you say "Desktop Browser" are you refering to www.youtube.com and forcing it to stay that way or is it going to www.youtube.com and then changing to the mobile version, m.youtube.com?
(Only Stock Browser) Have you done the "Aboutebug" (Without quotes) mode and change your browser to LOOK like a desktop UI?
~~If you are using the "Aboutebug" Mode, are you running on Wi-Fi only or are you running 3g?
(Dolphin/Opera Browsers only) Have you gone in and changed the settings to make it look like a Desktop Browser or are you still allowing it to display as a Android Device?
When the videos do work, have you tried to clear your Cache and History to keep the information in the buffer low when you are just getting ready to watch videos/just after you are done watching videos? (I ask because I noticed on my Wi-Fi Stock Rooted Rom that if you do not use the Youtube App, it bogs down the Cache and the History just gets cluttered...)
Are you making sure there are not other applications running too and choking out the Browser UI's? (aka, getting a task manager and killing apps before you go into another app)
I hope to help you out, as well as others in the near future (be it advice or with the same problem) and get this problem resolved!
Thank You for the information in advance! ^_^

Sure,
When you say "Desktop Browser" are you refering to www.youtube.com and forcing it to stay that way or is it going to www.youtube.com and then changing to the mobile version, m.youtube.com?
=> No, I'm using desktop UA string so it is always www.youtube.com. I have to manually go to m.youtube.com.
(Only Stock Browser) Have you done the "Aboutebug" (Without quotes) mode and change your browser to LOOK like a desktop UI?
~~If you are using the "Aboutebug" Mode, are you running on Wi-Fi only or are you running 3g?
=> I have WIFI xoom so WIFI only.
(Dolphin/Opera Browsers only) Have you gone in and changed the settings to make it look like a Desktop Browser or are you still allowing it to display as a Android Device?
=> Yes, I am using desktop UA in dolphin as well. I don't see why using mobile UA on the tablet is usefull at all.
When the videos do work, have you tried to clear your Cache and History to keep the information in the buffer low when you are just getting ready to watch videos/just after you are done watching videos? (I ask because I noticed on my Wi-Fi Stock Rooted Rom that if you do not use the Youtube App, it bogs down the Cache and the History just gets cluttered...)
=> Videos ONLY WORK for me at 260p....doesn't matter whether I clear cache or history.
Are you making sure there are not other applications running too and choking out the Browser UI's? (aka, getting a task manager and killing apps before you go into another app)
=> Yes, rebooted and only running browser...tried many many times.

[Q]Web browser problem

Hello
I have a problem on my desire s with default browser and dolphin hd browser, these 2 browsers can't open pdf files online, on opera there isn't this kind of problem because it automatically starts download of pdf file.
Dolphin hd opens new tab, but after loading, it just show blank page, is there any option in settings that could help me with this, because dolphin is good browser, to me better than opera?

Like always Google is our best friend: PDF Viewer for Dolphin

thx for trying, i've installed this addon, but unfortunately it doesn't help :/
still blank page in new tab...

Do you have adobe reader installed?

yep, and it works properly, i can open dloaded pdf files, but in browser, pdf files that should be opened in new tab just show blank page

Strange. I remember that I had the same problem several months ago (I am using Dolphin as well) but do not quite remember how I fixed it.
Testing now on my current device is working perfectly with the add-on. PDF files are opening in a new tab just fine. See if you have the latest version of Dolphin or change the ROM if you are on custom.

thanks for your effort, i do already have the latest version of dolphin hd, and i'm not going to change ROM, this is my 1st smartphone and i'm still getting to know with all of this , maybe in few weeks
thanks one more time..

[Q] SOLVED how to view falcon cam on HD Revolution 3.6 ROM

http://www.pacast.com/players/falcon.asp
Using Maxthon browser or several ip camera players and nothing works. Any help greatly appreciated.

Do you have flash installed? It kinda works for me, I see the babies but then it crashes right away. I tried firefox and the default browser, they both do the same... so I googled a bit and it seems that Google made it way worse with 4.2.2 for flash support.
http://forums.androidcentral.com/go...deliberately-wrecked-flash-support-4-2-a.html
You can get flash from the adobe page, in the archived section. What Android version is Rev 3.6?

Thank you very much for the info. It almost plays for me also. I believe the ROM is ICS. After many hours of searching I believe the problem is the Shock Wave player they use. I can't find any flavor of Android that can view Shock Wave .asp streams.

A friend of mine said that Dolphin browser had shockwave support built-in, could be worth a shot.
