When I try to watch videos on the desktop version of Youtube my screen goes black and theres no audio. After that the browser stops loading pages but internet works on other apps. So to make the browser work again I need to reboot the tablet.
Anyone know how I can make desktop Youtube work in full screen? I am using stock browser and I have flash installed on my device.
Thanks

I have that problem whenever I try to go full screen on any flash video. You could try using the youtube app. Instead of rebooting your tablet, you could just go to settings->apps->running (or something like that) and force stop the browser. Doesn't fix your issue, but makes it faster to get the browser working again.

From what I'm reading in the reviews for Chrome Beta, it doesn't have flash support. That is why it goes straight to mobile youtube, even though you have it on desktop mode.

Okay. Hope they fix the stock browser so people can watch flash videos.
Where exactly are the links to the other videos? In the description? Because I can see links on video descriptions on youtube mobile, and I'm able to click on them.

The liks are in the video, not the description. The links only shows on desktop version.
The best thing you could do, until they fix full screen, is use dolphin or Opera browsers and use the large player option in youtube also make sure the video is in the highest quality possible and just zoom in until you are comfortable with the screen.
Ok people I got it to work on Opera Mobile app. Someone posted in the transformerforums, that they unnistalled Flash Player and installed it again and it worked. So I tried this, and I got it working on Opera Mobile full screen. At first when I went into full screen the video image didn't show, so I just changed the video quality and booom the image showed

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

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?

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...

I'm on vegan 5.1.1 maybe thats the difference. I did the same as you and still no worky on the sites. oh well playon works great and was already on my pc.
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.

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.
So I've attached two images below. They are of two different YouTube videos being played on the Dolphin browser. As you can see, one plays normally, but the other is a grey box. It usually takes a while to actually start playing and when it does, it becomes a different aspect ratio (4:3 instead of the 16: 9 or 16:10 that it should be). Does anyone know why this happens and have a way to fix it? l know a simple solution would be to use the YouTube application or the YouTube mobile site, but I prefer the quality options of the desktop site.

Hi guys,
Is there any way to download flash videos on our tablet? On my PC I can use a plug in on Firefox to do that but that does not seem to exist on Firefox for Android. There are quite a few Korean dramas that I want to download, but I prefer to use the tf700 instead of my laptop if possible.

you just use the share function... but ... only works with youtube app!
I use TubeMate too, but 1) you can actually use it instead of YouTube app, and 2) it obviously ONLY works for YouTube videos. Jut install it, search for the title of the video, hit the green arrow in the lower right portion of the screen, pick "download" and choose the resolution desired. Et voilá!

I haven't tested either, but since they routinely require installation of plugins I wouldn't put too much hope on that. This works beautifully -- and a lot faster since it s(up)ports multiple connections.
I thought KeepTube only required Javascript, as it offers the download through the site itself.. Could be wrong, though. (It whined about Javascript when I had NoScript enabled on pc.)
It certainly doesn't require you to keep the video running, though. It doesn't record the stream, but rather plucks the video out of the flash container. Most of those sites work that way.
Thanks guys for your suggestions, but I have been using Tubemate for a while. What I am looking for is the ability to download any flash videos from any sites, not only Youtube (Youtube does not allow copyrighted stuff, so most of my TV series cannot be found there). For a site like Keeptube, it requires a Java applet, which Android does not support. I suspect there is no other alternative to Windows.
Hi friends, just to update you guys on my finding. It turns out the Flash Video Downloader plug-in is available for Firefox for Android. So effectively you can install Firefox on your tablet and install this plug-in to download almost any flash videos from any sites, not only youtube (I have tested it with a few websites and they all work so far).
