Dont know if any of you have heard of this app, but if you havent you should take a look at it, it's pretty cool

It's used to record what you are doing on your phone and it also takes screenshots.
Here's a youtube video I made

If you are using the xda app or Tapatalk app and can't see the video, click menu, more, browser to view the video

The app is called "stick it" from the market and it cost $1.50. A very cool app to use on your tablet or phone.
Watch videos from your phone or youtube videos while browsing or using maps. Youtube is a bit buggy but saved movies are smooth. The video is adjustable and can be moved anywhere on the screen.
Click my sig to check a preview of it... here's a screen shot while browsing xda.
Let me know what you guys think.

Its great, I use it a lot.
Anyone worked out how to get youtube to play in the background yet?
Would be nice for it to still play whilst multitasking

I miss this too Was great when I could do it in my SGS1. Load a youtube vid and hit the power button to lock the screen so its off OR even start my browser and surf while playing youtube music Pretty bad decision for Google/Samsung to break this in ICS.

I dont think its an app thing. I believe ICS is codded for it. Kinda like how when you are listening to music and take pictures the music pauses for a moment to execute the shutter sound even if you have disabled it

Does anyone know if theres a way to make youtube rotate to landscape even with screen rotation off ? I remember this used to happen on my SGS
So i noticed.. in youtube videos and all that, everyone seems to have videos auto playing in their video player. like the thumbnails as playing videos.. is that just International or am i missing something or is it a specific type of video or do i have to do something?
No one?
My thumbnails play when I view my videos through the video player app.

Interesting.. I'll experiment with it.
I can't seem to figure this out myself. My thumbnails through video Plauer system app, aren't showing quick previews also. My wife's GalaxyS3 has no problems with the thumbnail previews. While mine is motionless:/

I figured it out! If you just took a video, you have to give it like 1-10 mins depending on the video size for the video player app to render the previews. I was just sitting there and all of a sudden smaller vids started moving and then larger ones did a couple mins later

Hey, I am searching for an app with lets you play youtube videos in a popup window like locally stored videos on the SGS3... is there a "hack" for youtube App / TouchWiz so you can do this or an external app?

re Popcorn - NOTE: Youtube is no longer working, we are trying our best to fix this bug. We apologise for any inconvenience.

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..
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?

is there an app that just downloads the audio track and plays it? i swear i found one a couple years ago on my wfs but i forgot what it was. i dont care much about the videos, as i only use you tube to find and play specific tracks, but its such a data hog with the vids

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
