[Q] Youtube in browser asking flash help! - Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all!
I'm new to the Wp7 world and i'm very liking it
On my device I've got android before (hd2), and now Wp7, my question is about Youtube videos:
in pre-noDo update (I tested it like 4 months ago) I was able to watch youtube videos in browser, simply using the Microsoft youtube app, and setting my region in USA;
Now with NoDo, even using the USA location and region, and installed youtube app...Youtube videos embeded asks for flash (pre-Nodo will show a play button that calls the youtube app)
How can I fix this?
I searched already, all fixes refers to pre-NoDo OS and the only fix found is to set my region to USA (wich I already did)...
Any suggestions?
On a native Wp7 noDo device, is this happening??
Thanks a lot!

up! :-(
No solution? D:

Did you try LazyTube App?

as client app I use lazytube in fact
but in browser, if there is and embeded video, it asks for flash and not for the client :-(

Make sure to set IE to mobile view.
Desktop view = flash
Mobile view = H.264 (via YouTube plugin)

yea cheked it, but i'm always in mobile view :-(
thx anyway!

That has nothing to do with it, I have my set for desktop version, and it automatically loads the MS YT app
Have you tried reinstalling it?

yes...
I'll try to do a factory/reset and retry!
Thx! I'll let you know!

Well, here my phone just asked to install the official YouTube app from the Marketplace and it's done!

Android Has This, Does WM???

When I had the drois I had a subscription with an app/service called JETFLICKS. I no longer have the droid so I'm not able to STREAM the tv shows. With the droid on android I simply clicked on the link and the OS opened up the player and streamed the show!
The only way I'm able to watch the tv shows with my hd2 is like this:
1- copy and paste the url link and paste it to wm player.
2- click the link and opera lets me download the show (dont like/want that).
I'm able to go to jetflicks.mobi on my browser and login. BUT, I want to be able to click the title of the show and for my hd2 to open the player and STREAM the show. Is this to much to ask on WM??
I tried associating everything to TCPMP and no dice.
Any suggestions on how I can amke this happen? Will the paid version of coreplayer do it?

Interesting, Mine never did that. But what I really want is to just click the link and than the stream starts. Someone has to make an app for this!

Now I flashed my rom with artemis V10 but it still don't open streaming media automaticly so i gues it was a mistake of the rom?
i dont have any experience in this, maybe you can give me a way of testing this without a subcription to this site i.e. a different site and i will test it out. but on CleanEX DsE v5, there is an app with the windows media player icon, that is called "streaming media". maybe that is the answer?

youtube mobile html5

Hello, YouTube has a new HTML5 mobile version, ios and Android can use it by connecting to m.youtube.com, but if I connect to that link I access the old version, why?
can i use this new version?
i've mango and ie9 with html5 support
I think that when u connect to YouTube that it checks your OS as well as your browser and, seeing wp7, it loads a mobile site.
Sent from my SGH-i917 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
That's a problem on YouTube's end, because IE9 Mobile is for YouTube an "unknown" browser and doesn't recognize the user agent, so you're being redirected to the standard mobile page. Microsoft is working with YouTube to get this fixed.
Is there any way to change the user agent? Maybe possible to make an app for that? So the websites would think we're using mobile Safari...

Go to http://www.youtube.com.
If Internet Explorer is set to prefer a mobile version, then switch YouTube to Desktop version (there is a link on the very bottom).
Go to http://www.youtube.com/html5 and turn HTML5 on.

Not all videos are HTML5 enabled, like the ones with ads.
I've tried and it works, but the mobile version is more usable than the desktop version..
ah cool! Got it...although i think i still prefer supertube
HTML 5 BBC iPlayer site for iPhone
Related to all this (and potentially more useful since we have decent YouTube clients anyway) -
Has anyone worked out how to get to the HTML5 version of BBC iPlayer? Now THAT would be brilliant...
Stopped working
Hi all
I had this working until last night when, without me doing anything m.youtube.com has simply stopped playing videos. The website works but when I select "Play Video" or click on the thumbnail it doesn't do anything. When I select "copy link" and paste it into the address bar it has a 3gp extension and I get a message saying: "internet explorer does not recognise this type of address and cannot display the page." Does anybody know how to get it working again?
I have opted into the HTML5 trial on the m.youtube.com site.
Cheers

Hi kearnychan
Yes, I can download one of many clients, but previously if I wanted to view an embedded youtube video on pocketnow.com, wpcentral.com or wmpu.com, I could just do so through the web page. Now, all I get is a message about Adobe Flash or taken straight to a Youtube page which asks me to opt into a HTML5 trial, which I have already opted into.
It isn't much fun to have to load a separate app, then search for the video you were trying to watch on a website, especially when I could do that a couple of days ago.
Any suggestions anybody?
Cheers

@andrew-in-working
Hi,
I've not got a solution to this yet but thought I'd let you know that im having the same problem. It It was working fine until a couple of days ago so not sure what happened?
Anyways, if I find anything I'll post here.

[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.

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] Flash Lite No Longer Default Player in Opera Mobile

I'm not very technologically inclined but I have almost given up and decided to ask the experts:
I have a Palm Treo Pro with Windows Mobile 6.1 in which I have used Opera Mobile 10 since I got it. I have also had Flash Lite since the beginning and it has worked perfectly, I could visit Youtube and a grey box with a play button in the center would allow me to play the videos directly in the browser, tapping to go fullscreen.
Recently without any major changes to my phone I tried visiting Youtube and instead of the grey box for playing the video no longer appears. I click "Watch Video" and instead it launches Media Player Mobile which doesn't work anyways with Youtube for some reason. One day flash would play in the browser, and the next day it launches Media Player instead??
Plug-ins are set to ON, I have tried reinstalling Opera Mobile, Flash Lite, installed different versions and different combinations of versions for about two months now. I finally reset my phone to factory settings and started fresh, but still problems. I have no clue what I changed but I don't know why it wont allow me to play flash videos in Opera Mobile anymore. Instead it launches a player outside of Opera Mobile.
Question: How do I make Flash Lite my default Opera Mobile player? I want the grey box with the play button to watch in the browser. Now any flash videos don't show on pages, and any links to the video just launch in Media Player. I need the flash videos to quit launching to Media Player and show up/give me the option to play right in the browser.
P.S. from my googling it seems opera mobile and flash are a tricky subject?? I just don't understand what changed as I didn't really mess with anything.
Perhaps the issue isn't at your end at all. As time goes on older devices are going to get less and less support. Perhaps it's time for an upgrade?
I know I could use a new phone and how quickly things become obsolete. I'm not sure what would have changed in support or compatibility as no upgrades or version changes have been made.
Well I was able to figure my flash is at least working correctly after downloading and trying another mobile browser. Its only the problem of Opera now using Media Player as its default software for playing. There are no settings I can find for this but if I could switch the default player to the Flash that I have installed.
I was under the impression Opera should use the flash plugin automatically when I go in and enable plugins in Opera. It did this without problem until recently I wonder if Media Player launched and set itself as default player or something. There are no settings in Opera or Media Player for file associations, etc. I have tried looking in the .ini files for Opera as someone has suggested to me but no luck. Hopefully I will be able to get a new phone soon :/

HTC Mozart can't play YouTube in browser

Hi my IE can't play YouTube videos directly from browser all i have i just blank square where the video should be.
I've tried to reinstall YouTube app and I've tried to install HTC YouTube app but nothing works.
I've searched the forum and I've found this http://www.xda-developers.com/windows-mobile/wp7-youtube-plugin-fix/ but links to tutorial are dead.
Any solutions guys ?
Maybe other apps to support YT plugin in IE browser ?
Have you tried by using the mobile site in IE, mine works with the Mango version installed and with the youtube app. The actual application stopped working but the mobile site now works.
Yes I've tried to run it with mobile settings but there was no differene.
I don't want to try reseting factory settings, can't be bothered with setting up everything from scratch ... I guess I'll just wait for official Mango realase from O2 network maybe that will help.
