How to make YouTube play hd videos again? - HTC One S

About a month ago I recall seeing a couple of videos in hd quality which now are not anymore.
Since hd is such a wonder for the eyes, does anyone know how to get them back?

Are you on a custom Rom or something? I've always had it. Should be in bottom left corner in landscape mode

I'm on stock 4.0.4 rom for ville c2
I could see them too but for some reason YouTube stopped playing hd videos, I don't know why and I want them back

The youtube app on our devices doesn't play back true HD, only HQ, big difference. Proper HD is only available on phones with a 720p screen.
If you are rooted, you can do this to get the proper HD app:

Or you can use dolphin to browse the youtube site and play 1080/720p via it or copy the url of the video into Bs player.

I have just restored my phone to stock rom, u don't think I'll be enduring the long hard rooting process again for a long long time, thanks anyway
Anyway I tried playing videos on dolphin but it seems it doesn't work
And on the end I definitely remember to have hd written in bottom left corner, and it was real hd not hq as it is now that is really horrible to see.

I am having the same issue with UD as well. Quite curious what the issue is. Love the rom though.
Did you recently install the flash update? I did and it seems to have jacked up a lot of videos for me.

I did. I read that the latest flash update screwed up all online videos.

Great. I'm going to poke around and see if I can find the prior version as an apk.

Bad Video streaming

Hey guys i have some issues when i want to play a video from youtube using the browser it gets laggy at 480p... 720p is unwatchable.. do u have the same spiked as me at 480p on videos on youtube using the browser ?
What ROM and browser are you using?
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium
That could be due to your connection to your wifi or your mobile data not being able to process the data quick enough try to watch it through the YouTube app and see if it works

HD Video lag on Revision3 app

As the title says, I've been having this problem for a while now although I've flashed different ROMs.
Currently running EOS 3.
Basically whenever I play any show in HD, video lags every few seconds and works fine on Large.
Anyone else having same problem or know how to improve it?
Thanks :thumbup:

I'm using Android official video player to run some HD videos, work really well, and for HD Movies I use BS player, works good too.

Thanks for your reply.
Revision3 is an internet TV. so It's much easier to watch/stream using official app.
Playing in HD on my HP TouchPad running Android 4.0 works fine.
Xoom meant to be better and running newer version of Android 4.1

Video, etc.

I'm sure this has been asked before but if I remember right I didn't like the answer. Inspire, rooted with cm7 - I typically cannot view videos. Most streams ie. sports or whatever will not play. Sometimes I get audio but no video. YouTube vids will only play from their site. The first is far more important. I use standard browser. Didn't care for dolphin and that didn't help anyway. Thanks in advance.

I believe Dolphin is just eye candy for the standard browser. You could try Firefox.

I've tried all but Firefox. I'm wondering if it is a glitch with cm7. Can't remember if I had this problem pre-root.

Have you tried maxthon browser?

Tried Firefox and it seemed to work. Still would like to know why there are issues. Thanks.

Maybe I should have clarified.. Preferably looking for a free app or website to stream movies.

Most of those are warez. Netflix is your legal bet.

I have Netflix.. I don't necessarily like the movie choices so I was looking for other options.. Thanks for all the replies though gentlemen..

If you are looking for an illegal app, that breaks the rules on xda and people have been banned for posting such. Google is a better bet

A legal site for streaming is twitch.tv/Justin.tv . They are owned by same company, twitch mainly streams live video game feeds and Justin streams movies. Just pick the entertainment option or you will see all streamed channels

Most big TV stations stream shows on their site the next day. Not all sites work on the phone though.

netflix
I have a Netflix issue. I have googled this and not found anyone else with this problem. My Netflix on my HTC one x is awful quality. I have a nexus 4 an LG optimus g a Motorola razr and a razr v. They all stream Netflix in great quality. For some reason unknown to me my HTC one x looks terrible. You tube looks great???? I think it has something to do with the tegra 3 but I don't really know. Can anyone here provide a solution or at least an explanation???
