Forcing youtube app to play 720p

It looks like the HQ mode in youtube app is actually 480p.
Anybody knows of a way to coerce youtube app to play 720p in HQ mode?
Before trolls start yelling that 720p on 800x480 will not look different than 480p, let me tell you - IT DOES, BIG TIME. Huge difference. Easiest way to watch youtube in 720p right now is to use "jetvd" app, but it's not as well designed as youtube. Hence the question.

''Sorry...currently no option to play HD by default and there never has been. The "playback settings" in your account settings currently only pertain to either 360p or 480p videos.''
There is a whole thread about it here.

Yep, but that thread didn't go anywhere.
I'm just wondering since jetvd is able to pull videos in 720p, perhaps there's a way to hack youtube app to pull in that quality as well.
Although jetvd uses the stock video player app to play them.. maybe youtube app doesn't have capability for anything above 480p..

ohh nice. i never used that app. just played some youtube videos over the mhl adapter.. very nice! i dont see anything wrong with the jetvd myself.

Why can't I see the jetvd pro version? They took it out off the market? ?

Go to www.jetvd.com on your phone. Click the Download button at the bottom of the screen. Then click the red Download button at the bottom of that screen to download JetVD Plus! The dev is giving it away free now, apparently.

Yes is a huge diference between youtube quality and jetdv 720p
Thanks im download from your link

Thanks I like the app really, may be I'm not gonna use YouTube app now, it is really HD on jetvd,

jetVD is awesome, but it's not perfect.
In youtube app you can see your subscriptions, your channel, the design is nicer.. you can watch video and see comments at the same time, plus post them.
JetVD is only for watching in HD really. And search isn't as nice - there are no "related" videos, etc.
In a perfect world, there would be a hack for youtube app to play 720p. That'd be an end-all solution.

works good for now thanks for the tip!!!

well you can use the stock web browser and type about:useragent into the adress bar setting the user agent to desktop and then access the full site. and i just downloaded jet vd and it has related videos. i dont care much for that other stuff though.

downloaded and giving it a try.
Have some roms to test, but then i will reply, if this particular 3d player is as good or better, or worse than stock :cyclops:

i use mx video player. free in playstore.
Great touch/sliding features for brightness and volume plus works perfectly with non-DM locked 3D video files. :good:

3dvplayer is very good. Personally I use

MX Player on the market has also supported 3D videos for a while (no depth change option though)

I couldn't get a 3d player to work on CM7

Of course you can't. That's because CM Roms don't support the 3D and HDMI features.

mx player plays 3d videos in cm. also you take 3d photos and video but you cant view 3d photos

Good
it works pretty good on my o3d:good:

How do you get MX Player to do 3D? Also has anyone else noticed that CM7 doesn't play. Video in full screen properly? Sometimes too small sometimes offset left or low, sort of stopping me from using it. CM7 does seem buggy to me.

yes i played 3d videos in CM7. I turned off auto rotation (system settings-display). after that select only 0 degrees and turned off animation (Settings-CM7 Settings-Display I dont remember it now") and Edit mx player settings to always use landspace mode while playing.
that is all. i can play 3d videos without bugs. ( If you dont turn off rotation video gets bug. video starts shaking)

That works for 3D but for all normal video (on my phone at least) the video is offset left and low. Not sure how to adjust this, anyone else have this problem? I attempted a screen shot but it just turns out black while playing video.

Last update of 3dvplayer 4.0.0 has some bug 'cause can't play as "system player" (hardware) on O3D
I've [ROM] DNA_GB 3.3.3 V21E base.
Can anybody confirm this?

Ver 4 No good here either... just keeps replaying that darned annoying intro over and over again if I try to play any video.

With older versions, still could not stream with their network feature (only have sound) but manages playback of the downloaded video file OK with both moving pictures & sound. Proprietary .3DV extension for these files ? Seems very low resolution for the files I happened to try. But its free...
What is the experience for the rest of you?
Sent from my LG-SU870 using xda app-developers app

After the ICS update, I tried again and the network feature of this player is now working! I'm running an older 3.x version.
Also I came across a video file they hosted that was of decent resolution! If it's about 400M for 60min of 3D vid then it should look fine. It varies from 1 vid to the next so keep digging... they're not all low rez blurry messes!

Play to remote device (Bravia in my case)

Hi, I'm using Galaxy R with CM10
I have this Sony Bravia Internet TV.
Some of you guys must be familiar with Windows 7 & 8's 'Play to' functionality.
U can right click on any media and select play to-> Bravia(Both connected to same wifi)
This feature is also there in S3's stock music and video players.
So I can hit play to from my PC or an S3 and it directly starts playing on my TV.
I need this feature on My SGR running CM10.
The SGS3 ported music player doesn't work on CM10
So I'm basically looking for an S3 music player port for CM10 or any 3rd party player that can give me this functionality!

This should be what you need.. Able to stream to many TVs
From my CM10 powered galaxy R

I already have iMediaShare but it wasn't good enough.
It just shows the media library on tv and I still have to browse through it and play using the tv remote.
PlayTo universal:

This app is somewhat better. Needs no tv remote interaction for playing/pausing. I'll keep digging for a more intuitive app though.
Thx a lot

Really?? That's strange coz I never needed the TV remote to seek play or pause videos... Anyways it always better to find new and better apps
From my CM10 powered galaxy R

That's really nice man.
I've heard iMediaShare is supposed to do that but it doesn't work so good for me.
Maybe it's something to do with the TV.
I flashed ICS again to see if I could find something and AllShare does this job really well!!

[Q] Any YouTube mod?

Hey I was wondering if there's any mod for the stock 4.2.2 that allows me to play YouTube videos as I'm doing other stuff on the phone. Like playing a video in the background as I'm checking Facebook or similar?

If you mean to play the audio in the background you can use the app Tubemate, google it you'll find it.
Or otherwise use Xposed Module : XMultiWindow to split your screen, you do need root for this and xposed installer.

I use the app Viral Popup for this. (I got Viral Pro)
You can listen to any video while doing other stuff and even have it play in a popup window somewhere on your screen while you're in an other app like Facebook.
