I just got my new GTab. I used clockwork mod and cleared the cache, and a system wipe, then I flashed the new 3389 update. I'm trying to stay stock as possibe, but one thing I noticed is that YouTube doesn't load videos properly, some videos play and others don't. What must I do now to get YouTube to play videos correctly? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Go to the developers forum here and download the enhancement pack. It is not a ROM and leaves tapntouch inplce.itgivesyoj the Google market as well as a new YouTube app. Sppeds up system by a ton.
Had the same issue I'm running cm6.1. What I did was download it from the market and its working like a charm.

I've received my gTablet about 2 weeks ago and I *LOVE* it!
I rooted it, modded it (Cyanogen Mod beta 5 / Android 2.3.1), name it!
Everything went fine (ok, maybe not the first time, but I fixed everything).
I've got Flash 10.1, full Market, fixed the audio problem with "audiofix.apk" and EVERYTHING now works perfectly... except for one thing:
I an unable to playback any AVI (DivX) video, but I *was* able last week, before upgrading to Gingerbread (or at least, before applying one of the patches/updates/ROMs), with Twonky, among other things...
Today, I've installed arcMedia and another one (don't remember which, but I uninstalled it anyway) to no avail.
In fact, the SOUND in the video file starts for about half second (or less) and then the file closes itself (but not the player).
NO avi (DivX) video will play on my tablet and I don't know why. I've Googled a bit to no avail (aside from this site, not many sites talk about the gTablet).
I'm pretty new to all this modding thing, but should I (*can* I ?) install codecs? Should I start from scratch? (hopefully not)
Thank you for your help!
Try Vital player from the market.
Same problem occurs! Screen seems to flash once as if the video is about to start, then nothing! (And in Vital Player, I get the "All codecs are included" message box after it does that).
I think it's a problem with gingerbread, it's not quite there yet for the gtab.
Try not using the awful Bittrix build, it breaks a bunch of things when he tries to fix something else. Try beta 1 CM7, my videos work fine in RockPlayer.
Will do and will let you know.
Thank you very much!
Cleared cache (not data/factory reset), then installed CM7 Beta01 over Beta05and everything went fine, but the problem was NOT solved.
I think I might have to start all over again and ONLY install Beta01...?
Ok, I've cleared Data (Factory Reset) and installed VEGAn beta 5.1 instead.
I hate having a lot less icons on my home screen, but at least EVERYTHING works... Sound, Video, Market, Flash... A charm!
Keep up the good work, guys!
You can put icons on your home screen. Just hold down finger on icon and it will move.

ADW or ADW_EX will allow you to have up to a 10 x 10 icon arrangement on your home screens
Mine is current 8 x 8, and even with that many I find no real need for extra homescreens, I'm only using 3 screens now because I ran out of widgets to put up for now *lol*
@goog64 : I know how to move icons... ;-) I just didn't know how to increase the "grid" to accept MORE icons under VEGAn, I thought it was because of Froyo. My bad.
@ ALL : Over the past week, I have played a LOT with VEGAn and CyanogenMod and I simply *CANNOT* playback any video with CyanogenMod!
I just don't get it... I use the same players (Vital Player, arcMedia...), but they just won't play any video!
I'm switching back to VEGAn for the time being...
Thank you for your help, everybody!
Update : I've installed ROCK PLAYER LITE and it *does* play my videos!
How come arcMedia and Vital Player were unable? (I was told Vital Player had MOST if not ALL required codecs!!)
Has anyone tested the new flash to see how it works on our gtabs? also does anyone posses the skills to download the new flash, do the hex edit hack and then repackage the apk so that us less technical folk can use it?

I think if it was possible to repackage it someone would have already done it. I have no exerience with hex editing and I was able to do it. Just use this hex editor http://www.chmaas.handshake.de/delphi/freeware/xvi32/xvi32.htm
Use root explorer to pull out the file libflashplayer.so and open it up with the hex editor and use the find to search for text string AND and change it to WIN. Then copy it back over to the original file location. If you need more help send me a pm.

This works just fine on my G-Tablet, running VEGAn-Tab Build, BETA 5.1.1. Thanks for posting.
In addition to ksc6000s post... find the "and" which comes before the flash version number. Then replace and with win and the android version number with the windows version number, this way you don't get an update to the latest flash dialogue. Some people put nines for numbers and have reported success. Or download the pre edited version floating around this post. Then make sure your browser settings are allowing plug ins and set to desktop. hope that gives some more detail also if you see loading for a while be patient it takes a bit to load in my experiences.
Works fine in portrait mode. A little jerky with lag in full screen landscape mode with 480 resolution. Dolpin set to Desktop mode. REMEMER TO UNINSTALL Flash 10.1 before installing 10.2 with Hulu fix.
Stock 3318 pack with 3.14 enhancement pack.
Installed. Seems slower than 10.1. But on the bright side, hulu hack works. It never did on 10.1

I agree about the slowness, but Hulu with 10.1 didn't work on Vegan 7. This one does. Now if we could only get general video support on Vegan 7...
Ill have to try this I've tried a few times to get hulu and no fix ever seemed to work.
Hulu works for me. Even tethered to my phone. May pause when tethered but only initially. No problems on home wifi. Fullscreen isn't quite fullscreen but if you choose the pop-out it fills the screen almost prefect. The on screen controls for the player are a bit difficult to use, but I can use them. The Hulu app works really well in portrait mode as a way to watch shows quickly. The about:debug part of the hack is critical.
i get no sound out of my flash videos, im on vegan 7. ive tried hulu and youtube, videos play fine but no sound
This worked on samsung galaxy tab Verizon with Klean v3. The trick is to enable flash plugin all the time in dolphin. I had mine set to on demand and when i changed it hulu worked. I also recommend choosing the pop out player when watching a movie. After you give it some time to load it runs really smooth

+1 same issue same ROM
I'm on Vegan 7 and works fine for me other than working the controls is a pain (was like that before, not a 7 issue). Other flash players don't have that problem.

Does anyone else have problems with choppy video in Dolphin using Hulu? Is there a trick to get it to play smoother? Other videos play fine outside of the browser. I am running TnT Lite 4.4.0
No Sound...
I am also experiencing no sound irrespective of the source through the speakers. I can get sound through the headphones via music player though.
Update: I now have sound through the speakers but nothing from hulu....
Hello,
in the youtube app i can't watch videos.
Error message is : Unable to connect to server Touch to retry
Downloading the videos works though and in the dolphin browser they play too
i am on CM7 - any ideas how to fix this?
thanks for any help
Hello again,
i tried with JackpotClavin's latest ICS ROM and youtube
app is working there if u choose SD versions of video.
Seems to be an issue with CM7 then?
The YouTube app on CM7 with the stock kernel works perfectly for me, and it has for a pretty good while as well, so I don't think it's CM7's fault, or a version issue. Maybe you should try reflashing gapps (is youtube included among those)? Or clearing the app's data/cache on the app management settings menu, then try watching a video again.
Some other questions that might help: Is your internet connection definitely not the issue? Can you play any other streaming content available on the web reliably?
Good luck!
it's working now! had to allow some more processes in
droidwall (media server, google stuff)
by the way it is not part of the gapps it has to be downloaded
from the android market
thanks for the help!
this is what i use to play hulu in full screen
Open the native hulu app
menu
preferences
orientation- set it to any
now just play any video rotate your phone and use your two favorite fingers and zoom to your liking. Enjoy
Thanks dude that works. My only problem is that hulu is laggy. Do you have the same problem? I know it's not my internet, I've tried over wi-fi and I get at 10mb down. I'm running sky ics 6.7
not lag at all on my end, but at the beginning it would start to show the video and it'd go away, so I re-installed the hulufied flash player and no more problems since then, I'd also recomend updating your rom to the newest by seanz,
Hello,
I just updated my tf101 to ics (ota official). On Honeycomb I think the YouTube app was the app I used to most, it could play HD content at full fps and there were no problems. Fast forward to ICS where every video either skips or lags when a lot of things are moving around on the screen. This has made the youtube app unusable.
When I still had CWM i was also using ICS roms, but they had the same problem, so, I went back to honeycomb and it worked fine again. For some reason I thought the custom roms were to blame so I tried the official ota.
So to my question, is anyone else having these problems? And if so did you solve it? Also, is there an alternative to the youtube app? (I have tried the web version but it's waaay slower than the app at playing video).
Thanks!
No problems here. You could try to goto Manage Apps and clear the cache for YouTube...and then if that doesn't work also clear the data. That would be the first step in trouble shooting.
for my case, is the 720p mkv files lagging, for youtube i notice some stuttering , not anything that obvious though. BTW many have reported video performance dropped dramatically on the ICS
So there is no way to fix this? I tried to download a trailer and it lags as well. So it is not just the youtube app. Shouldn't the tf101 handle videos pretty good?
I tried everything and finally...
I uninstalled adobe flash player, and it stopped skipping around. Wondering if there is a system conflict on this tablet as there is sometimes w/ desktop versions of google and the conflicts between shockwave and flash player... oh well, it worked. Super frustrating.
