Youtube vs HTC Flash Player

When I click Youtube links from the web, they play in HTC Flash Player. Seems to be a different app than the Youtube app. It's lower quality than even normal quality in the Youtube app and I frequently get sync issues.
Is there a way to make a Youtube link open in the Youtube app instead?

You should have an option to choose the htc flash player and the youtube app
try clearing the defaults on the HTC flash player.

why no stock video player?

to my amazement there doesn't seem to be anythign on stock that allows me to play video - other than - i'm guessing the gallery for video i've recorded myself.
seriously?

Nexus is pure google experience, so it assume you to use youtube
there are tons of free apps, the best one is MoboPlayer

The gallery app does scan for videos stored in your SD, I guess you are just meant to play videos using the gallery app. Sounds counter intuitive I know. But keep in mind it supports very limited number of formats, which I know of only mp4 and 3gp. To play other formats, install a video player from the market as suggested.

[Q] Is there no stock media player on the Xoom WiFi?

Hi all,
I just got my Xoom in the mail yesterday so please forgive me if this seems like a really NOOB question but...
I was trying to watch some movies on my Xoom from a mobile website that I have used / watched without any problems on ALL of my other mobile devices including my SGS I9000M, Nexus S AND my HTC HD7 Windows Phone but when I try to watch these vids on my Xoom I immediately get an error stating that "this movie cannot be played".
I looked in my applications drawer and I do NOT see any "Movie Player" or "Video Player" app listed and this has me quite confused.
If there IS a stock "Movie / Video Player" can anyone tell me where it is hiding on the device and if there is NOT a stock "Movie / Video Player", can anyone tell me what the best app from the market would be that will play videos directly from the web in a seperate media player?
Thanks in advance...

There is not. Videos are tied into the gallery. I use MoboPlayer as a video player from the market.

What website is it? Does it require flash and do you have it installed? Maybe download dolphin hd web browser and try it on that.

Your in for a rude awakening. Multimedia sucks on The Xoom(Tegra2) and you need to 'convert' almost every type of movie file since majority are High or Baseline profile.

This, I'm hoping its a software issue that google can fix. I hope VLC can maybe create a software decoding solution for us too maybe.
IF u dont plan on returning it then go to this thread

To play video with subtitles in different format I suggest you MX Player. But it does not have ChromeCast capabilities.
To cast video, I suggest you either to cast your entire screen or to use videostream to stream directly from you PC.

Yes, mx player is nice... Screen casting is a bit of luggy between voice and picture while watching a movie

¿Working Youtube Downloader?

Hey Xda community,
I can not find a working YouTube downloader application. I've scoured the web. I've been through countless searches of 'best Youtube downloader app's for android' articles. Not one works.
There's got to be one that works out there somewhere and I figure Xda is the absolute best place to ask.
Has anyone found a working downloader app? Maybe a browser extension or add on? Would love to hear...
I'm using a cheaper Samsung with no root possibilities running android Q
Thank you

Yes, it is a little bit difficult to find a working youtube video downloader for a mobile phone. Maybe you can use your computer to download YouTube videos instead.

There are a couple online ones that work for free.
Here's one:
YouTube to Mp3 Music Converter - YTMP3
YTMP3 is free YouTube to mp3 converter. It helps you convert and download youtube videos to mp3 or mp4 files for free. YTMP3 is the best Youtube mp3 downloader.
ytmp3.cc

You can use arktube, download it from browser then buy lisence from play store or just use the free version

Here's another free one:
MPG to MP4 Converter: Convert MPG Video to MP4 Video (Free)
Convert your MPG files to MP4 video.
www.onlineconverter.com

I recommend MiniTool uTube Downloader in this regard. It's 100% free and easy to use.

In youtube app, i believe there is a button to download the video to play it locally on youtube app, unless you want to download it as mp4
