[Q] html5

Using stock out of box Roman any idea how to play YouTube HTML 5 formatvideo?

Use flash instead.

how do I do that? The files must have been uploaded as html5.

[Q] is youtube blocking 360p and above in browser?

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.

R u using desktop ua or android?

I have no problems with it either way. If its android it just loads the mobile then I click on open desktop site. When on desktop it just goes right to desktop of course. No issues.

Cant watch any videos on the desktop site now.

You should be able to watch 240p

You're right, but that sucks.

Are you guys having the problem with stock Adobe Flash or only the modified version of Adobe Flash for hulu.com support?

Youtube doesn't even play for me with the flash from manta rom...

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.

It should work in the stock browser, I use dolphin browser, it has flash (just have to turn it on in settings).
Admittedly I haven't tried any Amazon movies. Do you have a note 10.1? Or a regular tab 10.1?

Is your firmware and stock browser up to date software wise?, are you rooted? I just tried on both stock and dolphin browser, and Amazon content played fine.

[Guide][Flash] How to play flash video on Android 4.4 Kitkat

Got the new Nexus 5 and found that flash video playing is totally incompatible with the Android 4.4 Kitkat, no t in Dolphin, not in Firefox and other browsers. This is too bad and I can't imagine it just happened.
I digged into the code since then and found that some critical APIs have been removed from Android 4.4 that flash uses. DAMN IT!
open failed: cannot locate symbol"_ZN7android10Vectorlmpl19reservedVectorlmpl6Ev" referenced by "libflashplayer.so:..
After several days of coding, I finally found a way out with a hacked flash player. Being so excited and i can't wait wo share it. Here is the guide about how to install the hacked one and how to play flash content in the sites in Dolphin Browser.
1) Download Dolphin Browser
Surprised, Dolphin just push a 10.2.0 update version to me and I found Dolphin Jetpack was built-in. This means you don't have to install 2 separate APK now. Cheers！！
Here is the Download Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.mgeek.TunnyBrowser
Warning: [/B]You must have Dolphin Jetpack on in the settings to enjoy it. As far as I have noticed, Dolphin Jetpack better solves the compatibility with flash player, such as crash issue & freeze issue in full screen.
2) Download the hacked flash player HERE
Warning: Make sure that you have uninstall the flash player installed in your device and then install the hacked one for compatibility reason.
If your devices refused to install apk outside Google Play, you may set in your device (Settings> Securities> Unknown resources) to allow installation of apps from unknown sources.
3) Make sure that the flash setting in Dolphin Browser (Click Menu>Settings>Web Content>Flash Player) is on.
Flash Player is not officially supported and therefore the speed of loading of flash video may be slow. However, I have tried many sites such as YouTube and Hulu. They all work properly with satisfactory results.
Great thanks to @techfanatic9 for recording the video about How to Install Flash Player on Any Android KitKat Phone!
Here is the Video.

i would like to try, but does this only work with dolphin? i'd like to use with other browsers like aosp or maybe firefox.

working on my nexus 4. surprisingly found your link through the official dolphin faq

Excellent work, flash is back on my Nexus 4, Puffin has a terrible performance compared.

Has anyone tested this with Firefox? Is it Dolphin only?

It says it doesn't work on android 4.4 with Dolphin?

Works perfectly on my Nexus 7 2013 running KitKat, great work surviveland!

Works great with dolphin. I love my nexus 5 and flash. Dolphin with jetpack is extra good too. I found I had to put the setting to "always on" to get sound on one site. Thanks for getting round this problem. This is the power of android + xda developers.

Appears to be working on my Nexus 7 2013 (100% stock 4.4) as well

confirmed working on Nexus 10 stock KitKat, excellent work!

Working on i9505g kit Kat in ART.
You are heroic my friend!

Works on Nexus 5 Cataclysm ROM, Faux Kernel.
Your awesome.

Does Dolphin have ad blocking ability? Never used it but I need a browser that can block adds. Most of the flash I watch has adds popping up all the time so need them blocked.
Cheers.

I don't think Dolphin has ad blocking, but if you're rooted, you can install the AdAway app from f-droid. Scroll down and under "Version 2.8" you'll see the link to download the APK.

Thanks, works fine on my nexus 5.
I tried various , other browsers but it works on dolphin only.

Working on nexus 5 all stock!! On some websites the full screen mode of the player is not working, so you have to pinch to zoom! Anyway good work!!! :good: :good: :good:

Working in my N7, but Dolphin crashes in the N5.

Works on Nexus 5 stock ROM, with Franco.Kernel

I was told to enable Dolphin Jetpack and Flash Player.
So i think you should pay attention to their rending engine-Dolphin Jetpack.
It's really cool that Dolphin supports to play YouTube videos.
