here is a thread with modified youtube w/hd that i can confirm works on stock cm9 a5. he also has version for froyo/gb but i have not tested those personaly but should work. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1529715 i am running the wifi 3g black theme and works perfect. hd looks amazing. make sure download is apk and not zip. i had to download to computer then transfer to phone to get proper file. be sure to thank op of original thread for awesome work.
Seems to work for me just fine on CM9 A5. Only issue now is that Sprint's data connection, at least in my area, is horrid.
i have to use roam control anytime i watch videos.
Didn't the market update to 2.4.4 allow for HD playback?

Why is the Epic not capable with the standard version?

"The catch is that YouTube HD res won't work on every Android 2.2 or 2.3 phone or tablet, as we're told it is set dynamically based on screen size and resolution." Richard Lawler engadget
Aha
I can confirm the Modified Youtube APK WIFI+3G working on Stock Rooted EL30 for the Epic 4G. Instead of the usual High Quality, the videos are viewed in HD.
It's a tough call, as the resolution is the exact same size as when it was HQ. But I *think* I can notice the higher sampling. Nonetheless, I rather have this then not ever have the option.
Great!
I like this! My 3G speeds suck but this YouTube doesn't have the weird video artifacts in CM9 like the other one did.
Works like a charm on mine with cleangb, thanks!

here is the link to the nightlies..
download from neon.... it installs nicely on our phone..
http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/
just posting out the link since it doesnt show up in playstore
edit: streaming issues for dome s2 users.. vlan team asked to download neon version. neon version is present in the same link..
what does this app do?
I believe its a video player
Thanks for the find, OP! The tegra 2 version works for me too.
I tried compiling VLC from source a while back but it never worked for me. For those who don't know, VLC is an open source media player; I first became a fan for my various Debian systems because it included the libraries for playing most DVDs.

this app is famous for playing any kind of video and audio file. its a great player allowing you to have the best control over the aspect ratios,subtitles etc.
all of these are in the desktop version.. the link above is an attempt by them to bring all those features to android.. this is not even half of the features i told about. check out www.videolan.org

So far it works really well for me. I like the interface and the ease of changing the aspect ratio.

Will VLC stream media from a WHS to my phone? I have it mapped as a network drive on my home PC (windows 7). Anyone know how to set this up (or link to a guide)? I can't find anything straightforward on google searches. I'd like to be able to access home content anywhere. Thanks.
The way I stream from my home server is to use bubbleUPnP. Just open the app up and find your media server. Then when you select the movie, you have to pick an external player to actually play the movie. I have been using mx player, but VLC should work too.
Thanks man. I went with Plex. It's a paid app but super easy to use and seems to work great. I can access my server files as well with no problem and it works on mobile network as well as wifi.
I am rooted and on black bean 2 with the nyan kernel. My YouTube app won't stream videos over wifi. It plays for 5 seconds and buffers and then it goes over again.
Plus Pandora doesn't stream as well. This is over wifi OR 3g. It acts like it's going to play a song and then just skips to the next one. Then it does it again. So it's skipping through songs without actually playing anything.
I am on the 00002 Verizon prl so I get better than average sprint speeds in my area (I have a sprint Nexus).
So any tips for my poor streaming? My og evo streams just fine over wifi. Are there settings I can change? Or kernel and rom tweaks I can do?

This is really all u can do. Disable high quality streaming. If they are I don't know what else to do.

If I have helped you.... hit that sexy thanks button. ^_^
Same issue on black bean. I'm going to try some other kernals.
I'm going to go back to stock and test there. If it works then I know it's the rom/kernel combo. If it doesn't then I know it's the phone.
It just sucks being on wifi and STILL not being able to stream YouTube

I've personally edited my build prob. To stream faster. And you should use my Pandora.
I'm sure you'll love it NO ONE LIKES ADS... and I love to skip alot...Shh keep it on the down low
Here's the apk: https://www.box.com/shared/8b7c4787be177aa18fcc

if it was the wifi freq then the phone wouldnt be able to get any connection at all, plus the OP mentions the problem over wifi and 3G.
Anyone on stock running into the issue? Ive tried a few kernels but its the same all over. It looks like a rom issue.
Just flashed simply android rom and it still doesn't stream pandora via 3g starting to think its my phone. Which is weird though cause I remember listening to Pandora a while back.

I'm getting the same thing on CNA 3.4.1
It must be Easter, Cuz my GNEX is destroying some Jelly Bean!!!
I have attempted several different .apk's as far back as Pandora 1.5.8
I've tried "modified" versions as well as google.market versions
I have located 1 version that works succesffuly on WiFi(I stopped looking after I was able to do that much)... but trust I attempted 10+ .apk's first.
So i've gotten it working on WiFi, but cannot for the life of me get it to work over 3g. I've got a Sprint Gnex myself, and this is becoming very frustrating.
I've been on black bean2, used the new BAMF Paradigm, currently running CNA latest, all with the same results regarding Pandora.
how bout the guy offering his file share those tweaked build.prop setting he was refering too?
doubt it's a setting i'm not familiar with, but i'm willing to try just about anything suggested right now
As far as YouTube, I am streaming a HQ XDA-Developers TV channel video right now as a test. HQ is a little .... I dunno the right word? rebuffers frequently but not horrible(i've gotten 1:30+ straight without inturruption). non HQ is seamless.
Maybe it is JB?

I know that this was posted in the news on the 18th but I just have to share it with everyone again. Its that good!!! Don't miss out
It runs a lot smoother than the stable build supplied to all android systems.
Update: test Jan 27th w/ HW acceleration is even more stable than the 21st release.

I use my N7 to control my htpc/xbmc. No interest in running xbmc on my N7. To me that's just overkill. With a file manager that supports SMB I can watch anything on my NAS within a few seconds. It would have made more sense for these guys to keep the xbmc app the same and simply allow you to play it on your android. I got a mini android PC and tried xbmc on it but an actual PC does a better job period.

I stream several movies not only my PC but my nexus7 as well. They even stream from navi x . to you it may not be worth it or make sense but when you want to watch a movie somewhere or you have a child that wants to watch something while you dip something it is very handy. So makes great sense to me.

Maybe the wrong thread but giving xbmc remote the ability to use the default media player on an android device would be welcome feature. To have the web add on in xbmc also support playback would be great. The default web addon is pretty plain as it is.
Maybe the current dev might see this as a nice and easy feature.

Was wondering if anyone has had any experience with any of the unofficial YouTube apps on the Play Store. The official YouTube app I use is terrible. Always buffering. Even on a strong wifi connection. YouTube through the browser works alright, but is less convenient. Anybody have any recommendations?

Ima register my interest here - since getting a tablet I've found i cannot watch HD vids due to buffering issues that don't exist in browser or on other devices using the same connection.
I never play strictly audio from YouTube as there are plenty of OTHER audio options I use on the M. When I'm on YouTube it's for videos. Heck the website works from my phone better than the app.

I know it's been a few months from the last response, but I feel like I should still reply in case you/someone else is still interested in a better Youtube app.
Viral HD Youtube Popup Player is the best Youtube app I've found for Android, far better than the official app. You can actually choose what quality video you want instead of HQ/HD and not HQ/HD, which is something about the official app that really annoys me. Also it doesn't shove recommended videos in your face when you start it, it instantly shows your subscriptions. The player interface also has much more usability (eg. changing the brightness/volume and being able to lock it) and it also has a neat feature to play the video in a popup window while you do other stuff (which isn't very useful in most situations really and you can disable it in the settings if you don't use it) or you can just have the video play in the background (which is really useful in case it's a podcast/music video).
It does have some bugs and missing features, which I'm sure will get fixed eventually, but in general the app looks really good and polished unlike most other unofficial Youtube apps.
(I was going to put a link to it in the Play store, but since I can't just search for Viral HD Youtube Popup Player and you'll find it)
PS. I've no idea if it fixes the buffering issue, I just had to share it since it's fairly difficult to stumble upon it in the Play store and it's just so good that it deserves far more than 100k downloads
