This is kinda buggin me. Whenever I happen to stumble over a Youtube video on the web, the ****ty HTC flash player opens up. Why can't I open it in the youtube app? I tried clearing defaults, but it doesn't do.the trick.
Is there any hack to enable youtube app as the default viewer for youtube videos in the browser.
I know I can use other browsers to work around this, but I really like the default browser.

No one else wants to change the HTC player to the default YouTube app?

Yeah it sucks, and there is nothing you can do about it. A stupid decision by HTC imo.
You can root and install froyo no stupid decisions that HTC have made will effect you there
I wish htc would sort this, or at least give the option to adjust the flash player settings so we can chose high quality video!

I installed Dolphin browser HD which gives me the option of which one I want to use.

It does ask with Dolphin HD browser. However I haven't found an option to make a permanent choice of Youtube viewer.

I think it's the Facebook App honestly. Try using either Dolphin HD browser set to Desktop mode, or the stock browser in desktop mode and use Facebook from there.
Thanks worked for me

Cannot play video in Facebook
Hi,
I installed CM 6.1 and cannot play Facebook videos (YouTube Videos play fine) with the error "Sorry, this video cannot be played"..
Already factory reset and installed adobe flash player a couple time...
I had the same issue with my G2 stock ROM but the videos play fine on Virtuous Desire Z ROM's...
Any idea how can i fix the issue ???
Thanks in Advance...
Installed Vplayer and all videos work now
I hope this is not a dumb question but is there away to make flash videos in the chrome beta browser play in the video player? I'm wondering since flash will not come to the chrome browser. Flash video is still floating around the web on some sites so until html5 takes over everything, it is annoying switching to stock browser every time I want to watch a video. I have seen some videos, when you tap them it gives you a option to watch on the YouTube player. Is there away to make all videos give you the option to play on the YouTube player or some other video player?

Even a no would be nice

No. It would need a complete rewrite by Google

I'm wondering if it is possible to use only html5 on the AOSP browser. I don't like that the flash on it now plays videos more pixelated than normal.If i go and view the same flash video with an only html5/non-flash browser, like chrome, it plays much more clearly. Alternatively I would like to have it switch to the YouTube app like chrome does when you click on a youtube video.
Anyone? Is it just not possible or is there somewhere else on the forum I should ask where someone might know?
I would also like to see this implemented into the browser I wish we had a dev who could help I am going to ask about

Sorry guys I tried the guide about installing flash player but it still doesn't seem to be working. The video and play button will actually show but when I try to play the video it either won't buffer/buffers forever or try to play an ad, but fail (won't even load).
Please forgive any inconvenience this causes anybody. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated, thank you.

Simply download and install using this link.
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/...roid/11.1.115.48/install_flash_player_ics.apk
It says ics but i confirm this works on jelly bean.
Yes, that's the one I've been trying. I download it, open ES file explorer, locate and install it, yet I can't watch videos other than YouTube (which I never had a problem with in the first place).
Edit: Sometimes it seems as if it really wants to play 'cus the buffer symbol will kind of skip and speed up, but continues buffering forever.
Also, I'm using the default browser, but have also tried boat/boat mini, opera, dolphin, and dolphin jetpack if that counts.
And this might be the issue: I'm trying to watch the videos on animefreak.tv and justdubs.tv. I'm not sure if those types are supported, but they did say they needed flash player 10.1+
Thanks again for your time.
Another edit: Just tried a different video player on the anime freak.TV site and it worked flawlessy, so I suppose it's safe to assume the others are just obsolete or something?

What rom you're running? Browser? Desktop mode or android mode (user agent)? Which flash player do you have
For flash to work you need to use another browser other than stock or chrome, example Boat Browser.
In your app drawer you should have flash settings, open it using boat browser then simply close the tab. Open a new one with flash and give it a shot, it should work ok.

The people's ROM gs3 and as I've said I tried the default browser, boat AND boat mini, opera and dolphin with flash player 10.1 and 11+.
I'm still messing with it here and there but still only the specific video player on animefreak.TV will work. Not including YouTube of course. And I tried desktop view and otherwise with all that had the option (boat, default, dolphin but dolphin keeps flash off always regardless, so...)

Anyone been able to get flash working in either Chrome or another browser? I use a TV tuner on my computer to stream to my phone and tablet, basically like Slingbox. But it uses a Web interface with a flash player for the video. I would love to use it with this phone.
On a related note, using Chrome, many websites see this phone as an iPhone, instead of Android. I did not see a setting in the menu to set the User Agent. Does anyone know how to do this? I find many websites are formatted differently for the iPhone and Android.
