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.
So the other day I noticed that whenever i click a youtube link in twitter/facebook or on either of their mobile sites. Now for instance when i open a youtube link in QR droid for some tutorial it gives me the option to open with Dolphin / Internet / Youtube as opposed to it just being Dolphin / Internet when im using twitter or fb. I've cleared the the defaults for Dolphin HD browser and youtube just isnt showing up and ive uninstalled the updates for youtube and reinstalled them and i obviously can't reinstall the app so im kinda stuck and looking for a fix
any help is appreciated
im also using a droid incredible 2 on verizon, non rooted 2.3.3
bump..........
Any solution to play Amazon Instant Video on android ICS (HTC ONE S)? There is no app in the market for some reason. The only app available is for kindle fire. The app was extracted from the kindle fire and is available on this website if you do some search.
It installs on HTC ONE S (not rooted, T-mobile). You can search and browse videos but when video is selected to play there is a message 'unfortunately, amazon video has stopped' 'ok'
Amazon video can't be played thru stock broweser as it says it need flash player, and flash player is installed! You can play it thru Dolphin browser with add-on dolphin toggle desktop/mobile. However, the quality is choppy and can't be used as this.
I have tried the above option over Wi-Fi and 4G. Same results.
Other threads suggest that we might never have such option since kindle fire is not working on ICS platform. I got this. However, is there any other option that could be used or third party made app not related to kindle fire. etc?
And, yes I know we can use netflix but I like amazon instant video selection more than my cancelled netflix. Also, amazon has free video for prime shipping members.
Thank you.
This works on the Galaxy Nexus, but I make no promise that it will work for you.
Install flash
Open the stock browser (Chrome Beta will not work)
Go to amazon.com
open the browser menu and select Request Desktop Site*
The page will reload
scroll to the bottom of the page and click "amazon full site"
The desktop version of amazon will now load.
Browse to the instant video section of amazon and select the video you want and watch it just like you would on a desk top browser.
Once the video loads, click the full screen button
Enjoy
*I do not know where this is listed in the HTC stock browser or how it is labled. If you can not find this option, you might try downloading a browser based on the stock browser from the Play store, like ICS Browser+ or Quick Browser. Both of them have options to set your user agent to desktop
This is really annoying.
Anytime I have an opportunity to view a video (Facebook for instance) I click on the YouTube video link and a list of "default" apps pops up. But NOT INCLUDED in this list is the YouTube app. All three browsers that are installed appear but no YouTube app. This forces me to select one of the browsers which then navigates to Youtube.com which will play the video in browser mode.
Is there any way to associate the Youtube app to this list of Default apps.
Note:
If I go into the Applications Manager and select any of the browsers and youtube app, the Clear Defaults is greyed out. So it's not as easy as clearing the default app associations and reapplying them.
Running MIUI 2.2.24 on HTC Sensation
Select a web browser from the options it gives you, then it will ask you if you want to open it in the youtube app.
Happened to me, cleared Sense data and cache and voila!

I click on a link on the facebook app to read an article, it crashes. I refresh and within 5 seconds, it crashes again. I cannot watch videos on articles that contain them....I get a message that states "Cannot upload/play this video" and then I only get the audio and no image. This happens, even when the link is not through facebook's app, I am just browsing the web browsing app that came with my phone.
What are my options for fixing this issue?
Thanks to all who respond!
