it does, to which my Galaxy S2 using mother said WOW when she watched one.

In the YouTube app I had to go into the settings and check use HD video. After that the videos looked a lot better.

Do you mean the 'High quality on mobile' setting in the General section? That just defaults the playback to HD when not connected through wifi. HD streaming on youtube can consume quite a bit of data if you are on a mobile network thats why its set by default to low def in the settings.

Thanks for the answers guys - as an avoid YouTube watcher, I am excited for the 720p vids!

Mine does not run 720p vids.
It even feels like 360p.
I can only use 3g though.

As mentioned if you enable 'High quality on mobile' in the general settings then you 'should' be able to watch 720p streams over 3g but it will consume alot of data.
Mark.

For some odd reason, my YouTube app seems to be playing the wrong video all the time on Wi-Fi. Perhaps something to do with my ISP?

I can only watch HD videos when on wifi. HD dosent work over 3G any fix?

This does not work on my phone.
I have unlimited data on Three so I dont care about my Data Consumption however videos still play at something around 360p even with HQ on and the options ticked in the settings.

I have the same issue. HD over mobile checked in youtube, but still can't view videos in 720p. Any one got a solution?

I hooked my Galaxy Nexus up to my 50" plasma, and Youtube looked great on there. Netflix looked horrible.

I unrooted and went back to the stock 4.0.2 and videos are still not showing up in 720p while on 3g. The reason I tried that was because I vaguely remember that it worked when I first got my galaxy nexus. Anyway, going to go back to 4.0.1 and see if that helps.

I'm pretty sure its disabled because buffering a 720p video over 3g would be insanely slow.

Thanks. You're probably right. It's just that using the youtube desktop site with the browser, I have no problem viewing/buffering any 720p on my 3g network. If only you can force the resolution manually in the youtube app.

Allshare/DLNA is freakin COOL!

My parents just got one of those HD sets with it built in and so I finally tried this feature. It worked really well aside from some pausing, which I'm guessing is choking due to it being a 720p video from my phone and maybe the connection. The video itself was only about 45 seconds.
But what chiefly impressed me other than the proof of concept was that the devices recognized each other right away. Does anyone use it and is it smoother than my experience?

I've used it once before and put my music from my phone onto my ps3 other than that not really but I agree it is pretty awesome

Gmote is also very cool, but it hasn't been updated in forever and is sorely missing some features. Of course it doesn't use DLNA but it serves some of the same functions.

Hmmm...You should be able to find the apk around somewhere and put it back. I use Titaniaum backup and was able to keep it with that. I believe I have seen it available somewhere though. dlna.apk if I remember right is AllShare.

Dlna.apk
i just tried to install the apk for this and it will not install, i adb pushed it to /system/app and it still doesnt show up or anything. i am by no means an expert at this but i try alot of different stuff on my phone, anyone have anything else i can try to get the apk to install? i pulled the ak from this google spreadsheet, and it shows up at allshare v2.0

but my TV has AllShare. lol i do use iMediaShare, but i was still curious why it wouldnt let me install it. i threw some tw files on my cm7 epic and got kies air to work, but allshare still wont work... i also got SamsungApps to work and installed Allshare Player from there but its not the same. it does work pretty close to the same though from what i remember of AllShare.

The wife and I both have Samsung phones... We recently picked up a 60 inch Samsung LED TV... Allshare works blazingly simply. Fire up the app, select what you want, and away it goes. It just works.

Does it ever choke or stutter on larger video files? Is the DLNA protocol somehow bandwidth limited? Maybe distance is a factor, or is it CPU/memory of the phone? Just curious because my one test choked some.

I've found that if I use the samsung task killer widget to kill apps (just hit the X), then go run allshare subsequent videos all run fine.
If I don't and just start trying to share videos, yeah it stutters badly.

I have a samsung plasma with all share and imediashare will play video to it without any problems
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium

Hmm I just installed imediasharelite. I didn't have to kill anything to get it to stream videos without stuttering. Nice.

I'm running CM7 now, and it doesn't have allshare, so I'm using skifta, it's a great alternative.

Grateful to know what's better? I'm always on the lookout, especially if it"s free to download. Couldn't find anything on the Playstore that reliably allowed playback of YouTube vids outside the YouTube app. I'm running a stock ICS rom, so would have to count out any apps that required a rooted device..

So I found this going through the portal of xda and thought I would share the info and this cool new device nothing to much to do with the SGS3

Purchased the Jynxbox and was somewhat disappointed at first. The wifi antena is horrible, you want to use a cat 5 connection for this TRUST ME regardless what the box says your connection speed is, it is NOT!
Once you have it setup, immediately root it which you can do from the recovery screen. Careful, once your in the recovery screen, there is no way out of it till you root. So back everything up first.
Install MX Player, MX Player Codec arm6 & arm7
Launch MX PLayer, within settings select decoder: check mark S/W decoder (local, Network) Un-check S/W Audio. Now for CPU Core limit, set it to two as the Jynxbox is dual core. Color depth choose 16bit since we are using S/W decoding.
Now navigate to xbmxhub and locate the xbmc android download. Install this, and run it for the first time.
This should help you get the best 1080 resolution till someone tweaks XBMC to use hardware decoding on android.
Within Android settings, I specified the standard display screen size which for my gym screen its 720. I also set the Audio to RAW. This will help you TONS in regards to voice dropping out during playback.
Hope this helps,
John.

I purchased this unit and I absolutely love it. it was very frustrating at first to get it working just right. There is not a lot of information out there quite yet, but it is growing rapidly.
It certainly doesn't work out of the box as everyone states. Now that I finally got it all tweaked it is a great little device. I am looking forward to the future when all the developers jump on it and start tweaking it even more.
The gyro remote is very difficult to get used too, but once you do, it is quite nice. There are times it doesn't respond like it should.

The Web Browser works fine, I also have facebook and twitter set up on it and many other programs and games. They all work great.
The biggest issue I found with getting XMBC to work properly was the "playercorefactory.xml" file. Most websites I went to recommend using the MX Player Free. I was having a lot of problems using just that player. So I downloaded Archos, TPlayer and WonderShare also. I set up my playercorefactory.xml file to use TPlayer as default.
I am using the following firmware:
last_update_Hiolux_20130205
And this is the version of XMBC I am using:
xbmcapp-armeabi-v7a-debug-2013-03-05-full-neon-a4e1e953d9cbfdc0b4d6b3624cdf289dd2ebf60e
Like I said, out of the box, it was very frustrating and unfortunately their isn't much information as of yet on the internet in regards to this little box. But I have noticed just in the past couple of weeks their is more and more people jumping on it. Once you get it running it is a great media player.

YouTube app

Is anyone able to get 2K out even 1080 to work? Highest video quality I can select is 720, which is only a quarter resolution of the screen, and it shows.

You have to root your device and delete your recent YouTube app and install previous version to enable 1080p and 1440p

No root needed...search google for version 5.9.0.10. Install...profit

T-Mobile note4 couldn't install because it was already installed in the system .... So in my case I had to delete the app from inside the system ..... And uninstalled all updates .... And disable auto update from play store ....

I got it working with 5.10.1.5. Don't get why Google removed the option though. Are there any benefits to 5.9 over 5.10?

So does anybody have a fix for hulu? On my HTC M7, there was an HD quality setting that was better than high. On this phone I can only get medium and high setting. Even high is pretty pixelated. Would love to see it in 1080p. Any suggestions?
