Bug or Feature? - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Just want to start off by saying that this phone is amazing besides the LOS. Well back on topic.
I have the updated version of youtube that was provided here on the forum. I downloaded it and installed. Ever since i installed it i noticed that i can play a YouTube video and turn off the screen and the video will continue playing. Now i can listen to some music that have remixes but are not available to download using the app.
What is yall's opinion on that. Good or bad?
Sidenote: i use wifi

I believe this is a feature because I was recording a video yesterday and when I did a playback the sound was still going while the screen was black.... Maybe its just to save backlight battery life

I would say its a bug. Sometimes when I am watching a flash video on the web browser and I exit the browser (and I mean even kill the browser in the task manager) the video audio will play until the end of the video. I think they've got bigger fish to fry with this LOS, but after that's solved, I intend to bring this one up.

Same problem here. My girlfriends Evo is having trouble playing youtube videos. Gives the standard "cannot play." She is running stock, updated current.

Same here rofl.
Was happening to me on every vid, until I figured out that it was because I set stagefright media player to false as a Pandora fix. Once I set it back to true all my you tube vids play fine. In the app, and on YouTube mobile.
Sent from my blah blah blah blah
edit - I'm referring to the video cannot be played error, btw.
So i figured out when it stopps working.
It stops working as soon as i play a youtube clip from m.youtube.com on the browser. When you play there it plays it in the built in browser player and not the youtube app.
Anyone knows why this happens ?
I did try to clear defaults.
It always gives me that error in the youtube app for me. I dont know why but if I try enough times I can get it to finally play. I am just waiting for the new youtube app from the desire Z to be ported.
Anybody experience the Youtube app stating the video cannot be played in my country?I mean come on I'm in Florida!Any ideas?
Florida is almost Mexico so it doesn't count. (j/k)
Lol yeah its pretty close to Mexico...Its still weird though that it thinks I'm in another country
So ? Any progress on this ? I have to keep reverting back to a backup after the thing stops working.
same thing!
my Evo is doing the same thing i think.. almost every video i play comes up with the "sorry this video could not be played" or "sorry there was a problem playing this video"
it's extremely annoying! I am a former iPhone user and well.. sorry to say but the iphone had ZERO problems playing video.. if google designed android.. and OWNS youtube.. then wtf? I am running Fresh Evo 3.0.0.1 (whatever the newest release is) but it has done it since before root and any custom roms.. so far ive tried searching the forums.. but found not one real fix.. unless im blind.. is there a fix or what?
thanks.. im thinking about just unrooting and bringing to sprint.. seems like im not the only one with this problem though so i dont know if that would help out really..

I also have the similar problem but only while playing Youtube videos. When I use MX Player for videos stored on phone there is no such problem. Try watching the same video on the youtube website on the browser.

I have thoose issues but only when using any equalizer app.
Im using viper rom i have this bs problem also on my 3rd one x in less than a month now

The only solutions that comes to mind are the stuttering issue while beats (eq) is active (turn it off completely), or the CPU that is running on a too low clockrate/voltage.
Furthermore have you guys tried a hard reset ? Maybe there are some rogue apps running in the background and clogging up your memory/CPU resources.
The only time I experienced such issue was when I ran the older firmware versions with the beats stuttering bug, or when my phone didn't have enough resources left to do the job

My phone does not do this with beats active. You might need to update your phone. If you want to return it I would now as I can't imagine there will be a new software update coming out in the foreseeable future.

Follow-up Question: Download Resolution
As a follow-up question on Tubemate:
I've been using Tubemate for about 5 months now and absolutely love it. One thing I've noticed, though, is that sometimes when I download a video at full resolution, it doesn't play very well in any video player I have tried (stock TW Video Player, MXPlayer, VLC). The video will play for a certain length (sometimes 1/2 the video, sometimes 3/4 of it) and the video will freeze (sound continues) and then the video will restart from the beginning. If I skip ahead of the "freeze point" the video continues fine.
I know that Tubemate downloads the files in sections and stitches it together (think of old-school r.00 and r.01 files), so it sounds like the problem is that the particular section the "freeze point" is in was corrupt. If I download the video in a different format (or redownload it at the original resolution) it sometimes works better.
I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem with Tubemate downloads.

I've had this issue before.. It happens. Sometimes I go to the download folder and make sure its really at a 100%. But I figure its the video codecs on the phone.. sometimes they just hitch a part and its all downhill from there. But tubemate is by far the best. not only do you not have to deal with ads, it gives you options to select which video size you want which is always a plus

I believe its because our phones are 1280x720 and if you download at 1920x1080 then your phone can't play it cause it can't handle it. Its the same for me. As for everyone else.

YouTube looks gross....

Is this app even pushing 720p?? It looks more like the HQ you get on 3G instead of the HD on WiFi.
I have the WiFi only N7.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
To be honest I don't think the youtube app has ever pushed proper 720p let alone 1080p when the HD option was checked.
If you want, you can use a modded version of the old youtube app that allows you to select 720p/1080p and has other tweaks such as screen off playback and the ability to download the videos.
Search google for "youtube modded apk" and it should be the first link from XDA. (I can't post links yet)
As far as I know the only functionality you lose is the floating window thing but personally I don't really see the use in that myself.
Check this video out! I thought it looked great!
http://youtu.be/0FMfsT11pdA
Not just the playback but the whole app are so blown up, you can only see 2 huge thumbnails at a time
The new Youtube app messes up the video quality. You can fix it by downgrading (uninstall updates in app info).

Best youtube downloader? (Q3 2019)

I know there are several threads and old blog posts from previous years about the same topic but most of the apps are completely outdated and/or no longer working. I used to use Vidmate to download youtube videos but after I switched to Note 10+ for some reason is not working, I just no longer see the download button. I tried uninstalling and installing again, installing older versions, etc. and it's not working. So wanted to see if there is anything better in 2019 but all I can find is very old threads with the same tubemate, instube, snaptube, keepvid, videoder, vidmate, etc. that they all barely work.
What app do you use now to download YouTube videos? Another good alternative is adding ss on the youtube link between the dot and the "y" from youtube, the downloads are fast but very annoying copying each link, typing the ss, moving the cursor, etc.
Is there anything more functional now in 2019? Ideally I would love an app that would let you login and download playlist of several videos like 20 videos at a time. Any suggestions?
In all honesty, Tubemate still works fine... I'm using version 3.2.8...
Never had an issue with it...
A BIG BIG thank you to BrownBoy8872 who suggested Ymusic on reddit, that was EXACTLY what I was looking for:
Can login into my YouTube account
Can download full playlist and select resolution beforehand for all videos
Downloads are extremely fast just downloaded a playlists of 62 videos 720p in no time, everything downloads in seconds while other apps take minutes
Ads, but not adware like vidmate that keeps sending intrusive notifications if you don't force close/greenify it it after use
Excellent clean design, it even has the option to remove ads and support the developer which I just did
This really feels like an Android Pie/Android 10 app while all other apps to download videos feel like 1998 symbian apps lol

Thanks, any reason why this would be superior to Ytube? Seems decent but pretty limited without the donation package and I already got the donation package of Ytube but I'm extremely happy with Ytube it's what I've been looking for for years

yes I am able to download the videos but the app is not a video player you have to selecf the right format while downloading and then I use MX Player Pro to reproduce them
Alright the dev reached out to me. At the top right next to the sleep timer there is a video camera icon. You tap this to enable video. I thought this was for uploading video like it is on the YouTube and vanced apps. I left it grayed out and this is why i didnt see video, even after I downloaded the video only links.
Anyway all sorted out.
