You mean HD quality? There is an option in 2.2 but in 2.1 you'll have to use some Youtube HD apk...

There is an option in 2.1?
I have mine set to high quality as default?

Ah I didn't know that. There wasn't an option in JM1 and before so I thought there isn't an option in 2.1 today, too. Sorry. 'Cause a lot of custom roms offer this as a feature for 2.1.

How did you set it to high resolution?

Hello,
on JF3 you had to hit the menu button during you where watching the video, and (that´s what´s i remember) there where an option to watch in HD.
On Froyo it´s on default if you where online in Wifi network.

Here: http://hotfile.com/dl/76354711/484d5ec/YouTube_v1.6.19e.apk.html
Download and install this Youtube client if you're on Eclair.

Here is the same with wifi on the Youtube clips are by default played in HD resolution.

Just look for it in the market, it will update the built in one.

does any one have the latest youtube .apk file on the market? v2.0.26
I tried to update but failed on installation..

Hmm... try deleting the original .apk from the system...
Back it up too*

Tried both removing it and trying the market again. and downloading the apk and trying to install it (which also failed)
Also tried to install via adb..
pkg: /data/local/tmp/com.google.android.youtube.v2.0.26.apk
Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_UPDATE_INCOMPATIBLE]
Not sure what to try next...
Edit: got it working....
Removed the original app.. Renamed the apk of the new app to YouTube.apk copied it to /system/app then install from the market over top (mostly so it has the market link for new updates)

I'm on jm6 and it worked perfectly from the market. No issues whatsoever.
There is an option to set all videos as hd from the settings in the app.

Thats odd.. I'm running JPM.

[ 2.2 only ): ] YouTube! <Updated with UI overhaul> On Market! [Google Standalone]
http://www.appbrain.com/app/youtube/com.google.android.youtube
above is the appbrain link. alternatively you can search YouTube on the Android Market to update your YouTube!
it's awesome.
watch videos while reading comments! or go fullscreen! always view videos as HQ!* UI overhaul! words cannot describe it. go check it out!
still can't comment in-app though. awesome nonetheless!
edit: *just found out that the update is only for android 2.2 ): Eclair users will still have to manually switch to HQ. sorry ):
how were u able to update?
im still getting installation unsuccessful even after removing the stock youtube.apk JPM...
Can you share the .apk file here please.
Thanks
Edit. All good I just had to reboot after deleting..
Works fine here, downloaded onto my JP6 firmware.
App is great, but the widget is too huge... doesn't match all my other widgets at all If it were smaller it would be great, has transparency and all.
This should be it.
And the best thing is:
Playback during LOCKSCREEN!!!!!!
This should be the first UI change for gingerbread! i hope it is!
Very nice
The new youtube app is wicked the play it plays a small video when in portrait mode i love it.....
Installation was unsuccessful at first when downloaded straight from the market...figured it had something to do with the current youtube app I still had so I uninstalled that and tried again and installation went fine this time.
It looks GREAT! And videos seem to load faster now for me with this app..or maybe I'm just imagining things. Either way, it's a huge step forward. Super polished. Great stuff! Here's to hoping this an indication of how sleek and polished Gingerbread will be.
I get a network error [400]both on wifi and 3g...
Market just let me update from old to new.
No need for any uninstall.
Installed with no problems, running a JPM/JP6 voodo pre 6 concoction
For those who cant get this working......its froyo 2.2 only!....sigh

I don't see any option for HD video. There is "HQ" but it's definitely not giving 800x480 (480p) resolution.
I don't know why they don't enable it, this and some other phones should be perfectly capable of streaming 480p.

The HQ logo must be red colored i think...

Great improvement. But it would be better if it cames as an automatic update.
By the way the videos are not HD but HQ

Hello Guys
Any pk missing you can find it in slideme,org, Thanks my Friends from Romania
This new app is wayyy better than the older one... Also, do you think that they're finally using the GPU for this app, as everything (including scrolling) is VERY smooth
If Gingerbread is this smooth, I'll be extremely happy.

[Info] List of apps that aren't compatible

I thought it might be useful to put together a list of apps that aren't compatible (either partly, or at all) with ICS.
If this thread gets enough responses, perhaps it can be stickied?
Post your findings, and I'll try to update the first posts with updates so prospective Nexus buyers can see what may not work.
Adobe Flash - doesn't appear in market. Available from end of 2011
BBC Iplayer - Doesnt Show in Market
BBC News - doesn't appear in market at all. Now works
Blood and Glory crashes
Calendar pad won't open
CalanGoo not working/syncing. Due to new Calendar APIs?
Dolphone Browser - multiple reports of freezing etc.
Evac HD and Radiant HD by Hexage don't work. They install and launch, but you just get a black screen.
Facebook - Doesn't implement menu button, so can't set options/contact sync Update adds menu button back (but no contact sync still)
Flickr - you can't get past the signin process Update available to resolve the login problem now
Go Contacts has issues with themes
Google Earth - Loads but won't respond (multiple reports of this, although some users find it works?) Now working for me too. Maybe it needed a rest.
Google Tasks Organiser - see CalanGoo
London tube status widgets also broken
MX Video Player - Installs but says device isnt supported
RemindMe also doesn't work. It too installs, but you get a weird black screen when you start it
Root Explorer - Now updated in Market
Skype works, video calling does not.
SwiftKey doesn't bring up predictions? Several users now confirming this does work okay
Sygic (Sat nav) can do initial setup, but won't display nav screen (reverts to home). Now working
Tweetdeck - When posting, dropdown options don't appear for location, contacts etc doesn't appear. Posting box just fills screen. TweakDeck in the Market sorts all problems nicely!
Urbanspoon hangs at the loading cuisines screen
Urban Dictionary by Tim Clark FC's in use Now fixed, update in Market
- Note, I've not added every single report to this list; as some are "intermittently crashes" etc. This could be just random bad luck, but if several people post the same kind of issue I'll add it. Sorry I don't update this as frequently as i'd like!

If you have gs2 think hard before making the jump, as nice as the device is it is lacking a whole host of useful features added by touch whiz i.e
video codecs - mkv , divx xvid
all share - decent dlna app
ability to add individual callers to a block list
split view mailboxes
flash - for now

Well, it's not really a leak since the source is available - the XBMC guys have chosen not to make an APK available yet because it's not complete (lack of hardware accelerated video playback comes to mind). Anyway, the APK is from here: https://www.miniand.com/forums/forums/1/topics/136. It may be worth looking there from time to time as they say they plan to keep the APK updated.

So far iv only used 3 skins, 2 work perfect and the 3rd also works but there are some menus you cant assess like when you press left arrow on remote/keys.
Its not playing my MP3 over WIFI but it plays Videos in MKV and other file formats with sound but low FPS,
Movies,Pictures and most other things work fine when played from the SDcard/stick
UI is very small but usable.
Looks very promising

Im finding the menu issue is present with my favourite skin... Neon. Although I can get the sideways ones to pop out sometimes. I eventually managed to get the movies into slide view.... After lots of swiping and button pressing. I still dont know what made it pop out. Havent managed to get the to pop up when the view menu is at the bottom though so I cant get out of slide view.
All my mkvs etc play awesome straight from my network drive smooth as hell looking great

Anybody else tried playing with this?
I had an old version that ran, but after downloading the nightlies lately, non of them run, they crash with an error that they can not load libxbmc.so, I checked the app libs folder and it is present and non-zero but it still doesn't load.
Anyone have any idea why?

Here is a UHD video I shot yesterday with my note4 at the airshow in Ft.Worth TX. Blue Angels. This was the first time using the video camera. There are plenty of good parts and some just flat out blurry parts. Zooming in while chasing a fighter jet a mile away was actually not to hard. Given some practice I could make a much better video. There's this one below and other 1080 vids of the airshow

Try deleting your cache your application data ... Reboot install ...
Did all that no go.... I mean ive never even been able to get 1080p and ive always had the best of the best in phones
Wierd! I had this working before with stock rooted but now that I run FireKat rom I top @ 720p too!
I have cleared data and cache and also boot into recovery to fix permissions to no avail!
I had all the same problems, what fixed it for me was to clear youtube cache and data, uninstall then reboot......then go back and uninstall any updates again, then navigate with root explorer to system/app and delete the youtube.apk from there, then reboot again and install the version in this thread......then for the hell of it wipe youtube app cache and data followed by a final reboot.......then it worked.
Hope this helps
It works. You just have to make sure all reminisce of the app are gone. Then reboot install and reboot again. On our phones 720 and 1080 look about the same honestly
You have to delete all your YouTube data to make it work if not its still gonna be doing the samething ....
Here you go it's there but I am not able to select 1080 or 2k SO it's worthless.....

Flash Player working via Dolphin Browser! (info provided)

Confirmed working on Shield TV 2.1 upgrade. Here is how to get the browser...
Edit: Mistake in thread title,you need the Kitkat Modded Flash Player plugin apk as well,sorry.
1. Copy the comname from playstore,which is... mobi.mgeek.TunnyBrowser
2. Go to Wandoujia (other places get apk files with parsing errrors) and search for any app and visit its page.
3. Replace that app's comname with the name in step 1 and visit the page.
4. Click or right click and "save as" on the apk word under the QR code,or if on a browser on Android,long press the word and save/download to get the apk file.
5. On your Shield TV,enable installing apps from unknown sources if not done already.
6. Transfer the file to your shield with any USB storage or Micro SD and install the apk from within ES File Explorer via longpress and hitting install.
7.Install it as you would any other directly sideloaded app when the prompt appears.
Notes: If you try to use the apk downloaders or a few other sites,the resulting apk will have a parsing error,Wandoujia is the one site where that does not occur with the apk.
If you have Opera browser sideloaded to Shield TV,it will be very easy to use for directly getting the apk from Wandoujia using the long press on the apk word under the QR code,as it has a far superior downloads engine where you can choose the name and location for the file being downloaded,just like a computer lets you do!
And don't worry,the installed app will not be in chinese for those of you with English and other languages.
First,the instructions... Go into the browser's settings and simply enable the "flash mode" feature and it works PERFECTLY.
If you download swf files,you can play them locally on Dolphin Browser using ES File Explorer and long pressing the swf file then "open as" other and selecting Dolphin Browser to play it.
Also,a Logitech K400r keyboard works flawlessly on Shield TV.
Enjoy!
Edit 2: A link to the Kitkat Flash Player mod.
http://downloadandroidfiles.org/download-kitkat-adobe-flash-player-11-1-apk/
Provided by androidrootz"DOT"com.
NEW! Edit: I got the latest update 11.5.4 as a download from apk20 and it actually installs!!!
It fixes Dolphin Jetpack rendering glitches for me and also improves flash player performance along with fixing parts of it.

A few details.
It only works when Jetpack is enabled,and also,the flash game mode fixes interactions with dragging stuff and fixes the doubled clicks bug,but it appears to be causing visual glitches on the browser itself.
I think Dolphin Browser needs a special optimized version for Shield TV.
It works but it's far from perfect, tried watching some video and crunchyroll and it was pretty bad, screen no video and almost impossible to navigate.
Yeah,I noticed some touch point issues when in a different zoom size,clicking on a link doesn't work right in other zoom sizes because it thinks I am clicking at a different spot than I am actually clicking at.
Jetpack is the problem,it is really buggy unfortunately.
If only flash could work without Jetpack enabled and on all other capable browsers like FireFox,lousy changes from Kitkat and Lollipop.
Flashplayer on android
Have you tried puffin browser from the playstore for flash support?
That one has crappy frame drops and I feel a bit skeptic about using it from the cloud based flash service.
Besides,the controls on a keyboard like K400r are idiotically broken in Puffin if you have tried playing Happy Wheels.
try opera for tablets, make sure user agent is set to desktop
didn't work for me I don''t know why ??
Updated with a link to a fixed build on apk20 installing successfully!
Enjoy!
Dolphin Video works great for playing swf files offline without tricks unlike their browser!
Besides needing a keyboard/mouse,the only issue I see is only that the UI favors Portrait mode annoyingly (mouse glitches around,but still usable and videos go to landscape),but using a forced screen orientation app can alleviate that annoyance,apart from bad thumbnail sizes of online videos.
At least it doesn't need a special copy from a certain site,simply using one of those apk downloaders is all you need to do.
All I did was type in "Dolphin Video" in one's search box and got it that way.
One thing to note,apk-dl is broken and endlessly redirects to itself instead of actually downloading it,so a place like apkpure is great for getting it easily.
