Not Youtube, but from a browser. On the Vibrant, when you chose a video from a website it gave you the option to stream it to your video player, or you could hit web and it would download it and store it on the SD card. With the G2X it only gives me the option to stream it to video player. I tried different browsers, the same thing happens with Dolphin, Opera comes closest but says cannot download unsupported file type. I know MP4 is a supported file type. Anyone found a solution for this?
I'm very interested myself.
Been trying to find the answer? U^
Yeah, no luck. Tried different browsers, looked all through settings it just doesn't work. Probably going to have to replace whatever apk controls it. Maybe the browser.

This sucks but no phone is perfect. Wondering... I might just switch phones with android all that matters is how the phone looks. Roms come and go...
Opera mini on 3g would give me the option to download but then says I don't heave enough memory.
Well you can download videos from the Youtube site just follow this guide ---> http://www.knowyourcell.com/lg/lg-g...ad_and_save_youtube_videos_on_the_lg_g2x.html
Or on Firefox mobile you can download the Video DownloadHelper add-on to download videos from any site.

No idea how to find that addon
video download helper is for the pc right? How does that help with the phone?
EDIT: So with firefox when you click on a flashplayer video it downloads it. Guess it's a start. Kind of sucks having to watch it on flashplayer on regular browser then go to firefox to download it but at least you can download.

Can anyone please let me know if there is any app to download videos from any site (not just You Tube)?
I want to download videos (generally flash videos) from any website.
I searched on net and market but there are apps that download videos from You Tube but not from any other site.
i dont think thats possible on galaxy 3.. until full flash support is up..
Thanks for the reply rudolf895 but I think flash is only needed to play the videos not to download them. And also, if there are apps that download videos from You Tube, then I dont think there is any problem in coding an app that will support any website (not just You Tube)?
The app should be that: The User just need to enter the url from which you want to download the video and app should do the rest.
Please let me know your thoughs on this.

Use "Save Video plugin for Internet Explorer". It allows you convert videos during downloading. Just select Convert>Devices>Droid before download videos.
Every app I've tried that says that you just share the link with the app, and then it will download the video, fails to do so. When the link is shared, the app then reports that there is no video in the link. I'm at a loss. I don't wanna download on my laptop and trans over to droid device, that defeats the purpose of using the droid device. If i wanted to use the laptop all the time i wouldn't have got a tablet.
Use bytetornado, it's working!
I found this:
http://www.appszoom.com/android_applications/media_and_video/web-video-downloader_blftq.html
It's not free. But it does work about 50% of the time...
I'm sorry. I have to take back my last post. It turns out that web video downloader is no longer available on the play store. Meaning you'll have to get it elsewhere. And even then it still has a very low success rate. I'm currently trying to download and it keeps crashing. I'm disgusted. Why isn't there an android app similar to internet download manager for windows? Something that captures streaming video?
there are 2 that I have found

Not sure if you are still looking but there are 2 apps that I have found. One is dowloadr...not great and crashes a fair bit but could be the user not the program! the best one imo is video catcher....there is a free demo version with almost full capability or for a dollar you can upgrade and download many vids simultaniosly... basically with videocatcher if you can play it on your screen it can download it.... both in the store

firefox for android will do the work for you..
just add the flash video downloader add-on..

No app worked.
I used opera and adm download manager.
In opera, type about:cache and search for the right file by clicking on preview.
A dialogue box will allow you to open the link with adm.
Start the download with adm.
I had to search a bit for the video file because there are sometimes no extensions and you don't know which site is really hosting the video.
You may consider deleting previous caches in settings to avoid this problem.

Dude if you really have the video URL you can download it in any browser. The content you're after is typically one of several components of a web page; the URL you have is either for the surrounding web page, or perhaps for the swf player (the active element that chromes your video stream and provides limited interactivity with the Flash server).
What you actually need is an app to parse the obfuscated video URL from the page source--and to perform authentication if the video is hosted on an RTMP server. In other words, a YouTube downloader extension is not as easily repurposed as you imagine.
For the (GUI-dependent) majority, just using a downloader that can perform RTMP handshaking is non-trivial. That said, RTMPDump binaries have been compiled for Android--give it a try and let us know how it works out.
I can't post a link because of new member status but if you search "hulu andriod app" in google, there is a link to absolutelyandriodDOTcom (5th link down) about debuging the web browser. I tried doing this on with the web browser that comes with TnT Lite v4.2.4 without any luck. I don't know the technical details, but would this be possible through some other means?

Playon.tv mobile will work if you set browser user agent to Android. Watching SNL now.

Hulu isn't that hard to get working on our G-Tabs. I'm running TNT-Lite 4.2.2 and it works pretty good. A little stutter here and there on HD show but all in all very watchable.

I downloaded the dolphin browser, set the user agent to Android, and set dolphin as the default browser. I launch playon, go to the hulu video I want to watch, and all I see is a thumbnail of the video and some information about the episode. How do you get the video to play?

I installed the version of flash listed in the right-up I posted the link to. Did the HEX edit of the file and I can go to Hulu and watch all videos in Dolphin HD or even the regular browser that comes with TNT-Lite 4.2.2.
It works the same in either browser. Smooth except in 720p or 1080p it stutters some but still very watchable...

As long as it works......
Thanks for everyone's help on this. I am still not successful using Playon on the gtab, but with the Adobe Flash Player hack, I am now able to watch videos on Fancast.com
Glad you got it working for yourself.....
Got this working yesterday in vegan 5.1 without playon. Used the fixed flash and the recommended settings for dolphin HD. Works great in mid range resolution. All main hulu streaming works perfect but some redirects like the WB (getting my fiancée hooked on fringe:-D) lose sound/video sync after about 45 minutes. Totally worth the time to do.

Do you have Flash installed and working?
If not try this:
Cut & Paste From - " scsione889 " post - Thanks goes to him for how to install flash...
Step 1.
Download “Adobe Flash Player 10.1.120.1.apk” which you will find attached at the bottom of this post and save it on your tablet (I recommend creating a separate folder to save .apk files in).
Step 2.
On your tablet open up whatever file explorer comes pre-installed with the ROM you’ve selected. In there, open up where you saved your .apk, then select Adobe Flash Player, and follow the on screen instructions to finish installing that.
Flash Download:

Just installed Bitrix gingerbread beta 6.43f and flash from market. Did no flash hacks and playon works great from the web browser or the app. All stock settings.
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.

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.
hi,
I am trying to view hulu.com website and watch the free streaming media. I dont want the hulu plus stuff.
as i understand it.. "Flash Video Browser" can make it work.. by fooling the service that i am on a PC.
but this app is no longer on the market.
does anyone still have this apk? does it still work?
Just use any web browser that supports flash and has a desktop agent like Firefox or Naked browser. But I doubt if we can watch videos on Hulu.com for free.

I am having a terrible time trying to upload some videos to YouTube. I took some videos with my point and shoot camera and using a Otg cable and a card reader transferred the videos to the existing "Movies" directory on the "device storage". I can watch the videos on each tablet, but cannot get them to YouTube. If I use dolphin browser and the YouTube Web page I can get as far as choosing the video in the directory but then dolphin browser crashes just as the upload starts. Chrome and Opera Mini do not even give any sort of option to use the Web page to upload a video. If I use the YouTube app to upload I cannot navigate t the folder that contains the videos I want to upload. This seems completely absurd for it to be this difficult to upload to YouTube. I feel like I must be missing something. When I had a ipod touch it was absurdly easy to upload to YouTube. Any suggestions? There must be a way....

I tried that, but nothing happens. It never uploads. I use ES File Explorer. The first time I tried that it looked like YouTube tried to start and didn't, subsequent tries did nothing at all
Astro File Manager worked for 2 videos
I installed Astro File Manager and that worked for two videos by long pressing the file > share > YouTube. Now it either opens the upload window very briefly and then it shuts, or nothing at all. All of these videos are in the Download folder of the device. I have tried moving them to different folders and to the external card. Any more suggestions out there? This is pretty infuriating that it is so hard to UL these videos.
Why can't you just log in to Youtube with a browser then upload the normal way instead of trying the share option?

OP already noted in the original post that he tried using various browsers. If you know from experience that it works on the tablet perhaps you can post a walktrhu?
At the moment the only advice I can give the OP is to verify the version of Youtube installed on the tablet and try again OR try to do the upload using a computer to confirm the issue isn't with the account itself.
I have also found that the ES file manager chokes on trying to upload a video to Youtube. I have been successful using Chrome and logging on to Youtube. Make sure you have enabled javascript and cookies in the Advanced, Site settings in Chrome settings. I use the Chrome 'desktop view'. I absolutely hate the mobile view on this large screen tablet and have not been able to transfer a video in that view yet.
I could not transfer a video from Dropbox to Youtube either.
Dolphin browser does not transfer vids to Youtube for me either.
I have not tried Firefox yet.

Hi, videos are transferred successfully to Youtube through Dolphin on my phone. You can update it to the latest version and check it out, or just consult Dolphin's support team about it by sending an email to [email protected].
