ok, considering the jump to win phone
I have a few questions on how it deals with video links in email, websites and in apps
iOS6 when you click a YouTube within FB or Twitter apps it goes to a web browser with in the the app and plays it in that browser, or if you click open in safari if its YouTube it goes to the YT app
On android its similar
what does Windows phone do in these apps ?
A- if its a YouTube video
B- if its non YouTube but mobile friendly.
I basicly want how it handles YouTube video links, and non youtube
does it play with in the app, or does it fire up IE ?
I think it plays in a YouTube player and you can go "back" to return to social media app.

I haven't tried the Twitter app, but in general, either within an app or the built-in integration (available for both FB and Twitter), video links will open in the browser. What happens then depends on how you have your browser set up; the default behavior for YouTube is to launch the YouTube app, but I prefer HTML5 video so I enabled that option on the YouTube site and set my browser in "desktop mode" so YT serves it HTML5 video. For sites which don't have any WP7-specific functionality but serve HTML5 video, the video will work fine as expected. HTML5 video doesn't actually play directly in the browser - it launches a separate video player to do it - but otherwise it works just fine.

Is it possible that when a youtube link is posted that when clicking it in opera it doesn't just open the page in youtube but instead opens the video in the youtube app so you can actually watch the video since opera doesn't play embeded videos, unless I've missed an app for this.
im also looking for the same thing, does anyone know how?
This has been asked for time and time again, and there's never been a way to do it. I used to love the way that IE would open the YouTube app when you tried to play a YouTube video, but now I use Opera 10 and watch YouTube vids directly on the page they're on, in full screen. It's perfect. If you can get used to the click-to-zoom and back-to-zoom-out idea, Opera 10 is loads better than 9.7, and plays most flash files (once plugins are turned on).
Actually it is Possible.
I have been doing this for a long time in my hd2.
It doesnt work from a www.youtube.com link. The trick is to use the built in opera browser and open the youtube mobile site at m.youtube.com. just click on any of the thumbnail images of the video and the htc youtube app kicks in and plays it in the proper quality not in 3gp quality of the youtube mobile site !!!
you can also convert any normal youtube video link to mobile youtube link by changing the www into w in the link!
it works like a charm!!!

That's obviously only good for if you're on the YouTube site though. It doesn't help for video posted on other sites, as in links to YouTube. I'd still tell everyone who uses YouTube to get Opera 10. It's great!

yes. You are right. an alternative is tap and hold link in opera and open in new tab and edit "www" to "m".
The thing is with opera 10 direct youtube play the video quality is very blocky!
this gives a much cleaner playback.
I have an idea for any devs to develop a small program to translate the desktop youtube link to mobile youtube link on the fly. kind of an intermediate app which captures the link from opera 9.7 translate the link and pass that to the native youtube app! that would be cool!
Has YouTube changed something recently (June 2011)?
Using Opera Mini 5.1 (last Windows Mobile version released) I have been able to view most YouTube videos through the HTC streaming app.
That is up until the last week or two. Now when I visit youtube and select a video there is no longer any "click to view video" text or any video placeholder.
I haven't changed anything on the phone.
I can play videos using Opera Mobile 9.5 through the streaming app, but that browser is so bloated that it shuts down all other running apps, nails the CPU at 100%, and then crashes if I open more than 1 tab. In any case, that indicates that the HTC streaming app is still set up as my device's default stream handler.
So, has anyone else noted any recent issues like this with Youtube on WM devices?
Thanks.
Hi xperts,
I have watchSeries app in my Note 3 to watch TV series and movies . when i click on any stream link (i.e. Videoweed , novamov, nowvideo etc) that link open in browser and it does not ask to select any player like MX playe,r BS player . It does not work properly ( full screen) sometime in any browser even i have installed flash player and tried multiple browsers ( Dolphine, photon, chrome, opera)
I have tried HUBI but that also does not support all type of links ( vshare, movreel etc ).
Is there any way that i can open video stream links directly in player instead of copy-paste URL from browser bar to players screen.?
VGET is the best option but that has also limitation. It is slow,does not detect lots of embed links . whatseries, videomix and other app does treat it as browser
There should be some plugin for browsers, which detect video stream in link in browser and when we click to play then it should ask to open video in Player instead of running in browser.
any full-proof suggestion would be appreciated .
Have you looked in the settings at the Default Applications and see if that's causing your problem?
Thanks
Thanks for reply. default setting is cleared.
Actaually I am looking something like VGET app. which can be treated as browser and can open video files in Players ( MX player or other )
bcoz Dholphin, Boat and other browsers are not good.
Background: Purchased MX Player Pro. Watch a lot of video in my mobile web browsers Chrome and Dolphin. Often for work (training). Used to be that in either mobile browser, I would browse to the video and when I told it to play MX Player Pro would be the player in which I watched the video, which is critically important and MX Player has video controls (like swiping to go forward and backward) that the system video player doesn't.
This morning my Galaxy Note 5 from Verizon got an update, update N920VVRU2BPG5. Since then, in both browsers on my phone, the video only play in the craptastic system video player. I've looked for a way to change that default and I do not see any options. Again, what I am trying to do is make it be the way it was, with videos played from either of my mobile web browsers Chrome and Dolphin being launched in MX Player by default, not the system video player it seems to have defaulted back to. (To be clear, we are NOT talking about setting a FILE default).
I don't know that this is considered a bug or not, but it's a giant problem.
What's the solution?
Thanks.
This *may* be a a different kind of thing, I've done some more testing in Dolphin and found that when I enable Dolphin Jetpack for Flash, it goes back to working properly. I'm not sure why, my two conjectures are either:
a) MX Player is not in the mix at ALL, but that the recent update swapped my browsing player from Flash based to HTML5 based, and HTML5 video players do not (possibly) support swipe gestures, or
b) By switching Dolphin Jetpack for Flash on, it enable dolphin to properly router the video playback to the MX Player.
Either way, that seems to be the fix for Dolphin, now I have to see if a similar fix can be applied to Mobile Chrome.
Thanks.

If chrome plays on itself it may not possible. If it's forwarded to stock player it might be different issue raised from Samsung's idiotic implementation of default apps.
FYI, in almost all samsung marshmallow devices if you select a app it's always set as default. Unlike LP there won't be a option to select once. Just go to Application Manager > Select Video (If Stock Player is default). From the "Set Defaults" option "Clear Defaults" & set the App Links to always ask. Now, Chrome will ask again to select. But, keep in mind that when you select the any other app it will be the new default.
It's not possible to intercept a html5 video from a browser. Nowadays most of the browsers are implementing their own mediaplayer based on android mediaplayer API.

Thanks for the tip.
I would like to listen to the audio from video of multiple background tabs simultaneously, like on desktop PCs.
It would work while browsing other tabs or having the browser in the background.
Not only YouTube, but any HTML5 video and any platform (Dailymotion, Vimeo, *****ute, Vlare.TV, etc.)
Is there any browser or any other way way to do that?
