Hi xdaERS,
I've just got my Nexus 7 Wifi 16GB. It's my first Android device and all I can say is it's GREAT.
But I got 2 problem hope that you can help.
1. First, all of us know that Vimeo apps on android is suck. And all I want is watch Vimeo at HD. So, I go to Vimeo website with Chrome + desktop mode. In the past few days, I was able to play Vimeo in HD. But from yesterday to now, I cannot do it anymore. When I click in the play button, video frame change but it doesn't expand to full site and stuck there, no things else happens. Note that I still can play video in SD when access the site (in mobile mode) or in the app. This happens since I uninstall MXPLayer form my Nexus. So the question is what went wrong and how can I fix it ? Am I the only one cannot play HD on vimeo or anybody catch the same error ?
2. I downloaded MX Player 1.7.8 and Armv7 Neon code (the app required me to down this code). But this app doesn't work. It can play video in 30-40s then turn off (back to my app screen), no error appears. It sometimes turn off when I just go to setting menu. So what's wrong with my device ?
Up for helps.
Is there anyone can view HD video on Vimeo website (desktop mode) ?

If you go to a website with an embedded youtube video, the video won't show up unless you have flash lite turned on, which is awful quality.
Now afaik on other android phones, and indeed the iphone, if you go to a website with embedded youtube videos they show up in h.264 format, without the need for flash. Why has HTC disabled this? (or am I missing something)
Let me try this again in a while (on YouTube) but I have definitely watched flash vids within the browser many times (not on YouTube that I recall though). Poor quality at best, very grainy.
I haven't tried playing YouTube directly within the browser to date simply because I like it opening in the YouTube app better (I get the option to choose this).

you're missing something.
most phones get redirected to m.youtube.com
some sites are still using flash 9, which flashlite can play.
if a site is using flash 10, then you're ****ed because flash 10 is only in beta and only on 2.2
It's probably the Flash Lite plugin and the normal Youtube plugin (like on other Android phones) don't work well together and HTC disabled the normal plugin.
You probably have to find a way to remove Flash Lite completely.
Or maybe you wait until there's a Froyo ROM available within a few days/weeks or so and flash this, to get the full Flash 10.1, which should work much better than Flash Lite.

I'm assuming the normal plugin is where it redirects YouTube URLs to the YouTube app? Because that's the most frustrating part about this flaw!
Yes normal is the redirection to the Youtube app.
It sounds like even with flash 10.1 you can only get to watch the h.264 version if you load that flash video, then double tap on it to bring up the youtube player.
I would prefer it to load the h.264 video by default, because it's always going to perform better than flash, no matter how hard adobe tries.
YouTube embedded vids are an exception for me in so far as not playing embedded, many other site vids are doing so in decent quality (as relative as that is). Indeed, tricking the browser and YouTube to think it's a Desktop or iPhone accessing it is simple as well as showing the Desktop view, but then, you'll just see a black area where the vid would be with a message by shockwave that "this type of content is not supported". It won't play which is odd for me due to other site vids at higher quality that do play.

Doing such a tap provokes the browser to give me the option of either playing the vid using the YouTube app or using HTC Flash app.

Just use a different browser (Dolphin for example). The default browser (htc modified) does not allow it.
Suggestion:
Go to www.youtube.com/html5 and signup.
Make sure you're signed in on youtube.com on your mobile.
Try it now.

I use Xscope and Dolphin... they don't allow such embedded video through browser viewing on YouTube.

I could, but I don't really want to install another browser just to watch YouTube videos when I happen to come across one.
I think by loading skyfire is the only way you could view most videos in the way in which you say. But also the iphone cannot load videos from within its browser, only from its dedicated you tube player, and that has restrictions like nit being able to download to twitter or facebook etc. Some people are saying though that skyfire doesnt work fire them. Works a treat for me and plays 90 percent of videos that I stumble across.

You can on the iPhone, the videos show u exactly where thy are embedded, nd then you tap them and they play.
Its stupid because so many websites use h.264 video now, which android does support, yet we can't watch them.
Not sure I follow.
I go to YouTube (the proper site) on the HTC browser, I tap on a video, it loads and plays. What am I doing right?

It is that simple actually.
The thing is videos are played in a Flash player, instead of the Youtube app. Some people want to have it play in the Youtube app.

The issue here is samac92 wanting YouTube videos to play embedded in the browser like his iPhone did, without using flash, which they don't. I have no issue with the default actions.

Embedded in the browser? The iPhone can't do that.
You can change the Youtube site to see the HTML5 version. You can do that on the Desire, I guess you can also do it on the iPhone. But that's with the Youtube site itself.

What exactly changes if using HTML5 in the context of the video itself?
The stock vids the Flash app plays on YouTube are in FLV mostly, right? But when you download those vids, it offers the H.264 MP4 files. Does HTML5 allow the better H.264 MP4 vid file to be played in the YouTube app through streaming?

Hi, just got my Desire
My problem is that I can remember seeing in videos about Android (or was it the iPhone?) that when I click on a Youtube link the Youtube app opens and I can rate the video etc and then return to the website.
But on my Desire the Youtube website opens and I have to click on the video and the "HTC Flashplayer" plays the video in bad quality.
Other example: On a website is the Youtube Player embedded and I click on the video. Again, the HTC Player opens and plays the video in bad quality. Now I have no chance to get to the Youtube site and rate or comment the video.
When i disable flash support the video isn't avaible at all. Is it possible to link the youtube videos to the Yutube app? I think I missed a checkbox or something... When I found a video I will post it here. Thanks for your help
Yep I posted a thread saying exactly the same thing a while ago, sadly there isn't anything you can do about it, it's one of those stupid decisions HTC have made.
If you root your phone and install froyo 2.2 however, videos will play from websites in the youtube app. But as soon as you install flash 10.1 beta you're back to the same problem, where it forces you to use the flash player instead of the excellent quality h.264 version. (in fact flash 10.1 beta is probably even worse than flash lite right now for playing youtube videos.) However if you do load up the flash version on froyo then tap on it, it does give you the option to open in the youtube app, but you have to load up the flash version first before it gives you the option.
When I disable flash in the options I doesn't see the video at all And in the options the HTC flashplayer say that he is 'No standard app' ("Kein Standard").
Isn't there a registry (coming from WM ) or something like that?
The only way for you to get such an option is to use a non-default browser. Like Dolphin HD. Using that, you do get such options when a YouTube link is clicked. Tragic decision by HTC, no doubt (although I don't have your limitation, oddly).

Hello.
I had the same problem (search the forum) but updated to latest Rom. Am using debranded Orange phone with T-Mobile sim card. Did OTA update, then WiFi stopped. Then installed full Rom using goldcard, didn't even get asked for a simunlock code (had used one previously). Now working! YouTube opens on clicking a link like on the Hero. Like it should.

@th3: Will try this. Is there a favourite browser (Dolphin HD?) like Opera on WM?
@Splather: Which ROM are you using now? Is Flash on other websites working? Is HTC Sense integrated? Are all other functions working?
Am I right that I don't need a goldcard with a unbranded phone?
EDIT: Okay... At the moment I got a system update from HTC...
EDIT2: Puuh...Wi-Fi still working =D
Hello,
I have quite serious problem after OTA. I can't play movies from facebook mobile web page (m.facebook.com). On 2.1 that was working fine. Now video player writes "can't play video". I tried to open video also withe Opera mini. Opera can't play it, but game me option to download it as MP4. After downloading it and try to play, she same issue - "can't play video". I tried on few videos, but the same result. I have unrooted Desire with no branding, EU.
Please excuse me my english.
I have that problem too - sometimes... but after restart it works again. However I have a constant problem with the videoplayer zooming too much - ex if on the real video there is three people, then after Froyo the same video zooms too much and you can only see the one in the middle...??? Is there a place to change the resolution for playback ( 4:3, 16:9, zoom like on a regular tv or is there a better videoplayer than the standard one?)

Make it 3 .. now I can't play my mp4 videos after Froyo upgrade.. Hmm Rock player seems to play it on my hero but it is slow.. not smooth as my previous player in 2.1..
Anyone else noticing this? I caught a few threads in the Xperia forums stating the same thing. I had no problems viewing HD content on my Legend, yet the screen resolution was smaller. Perhaps it's something to do with the new 720x1280 displays?
Confirm. It looks choppy for a sec, then it skips frames and jumps ahead to compensate, then it starts choppy again, repeat. Regardless full screen or not - looks like not because of 1280x720
Stream is fast and buffer is full, not network issue.
Not seeing it... have a link of a video that doesn't work for you all?
I don't have a link, but lookup FPSRussia and watch his SA-80 video. That should give you an idea.
Edit: Gave it a go in Dolphin HD and the video plays without any form of stutter. Must be a crappy version of YouTube for these phones.
Happening for me sometimes. I can use the desktop version of YouTube and everything runs fine. Even if I watch a movie I recorded at 1080p and play it back in the video player, it's sometimes choppy.

I can't get YouTube to play HD, it seems to only play 480p.
not trying to revive a dead topic , but i have the same issue on Bell lg optimus LTE , i have tried deleting youtube and resinstall from the market. everything works fine 1080p etc on mx video player . maybe the youtube player has not been optimized for P930 ? if anyone has a solution to this, please reply !
Most likely it's just Youtube being broken or not optimized for the HD screen on this phone. I also have the same issue, and I even tried Screen Optimization. I feel that works a bit, but very little bit hehe.
I went ahead and uninstalled the update from the Android Market in Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > Downloaded > Youtube. It went back to version 2.1.6 from 2.3.4 so I restarted the phone and gave it a go. It seems to perform a hell of a lot better, still not perfect but at least it doesn't drive me crazy.
Give it a go and see for yourself, you could always update it again on the market.

I'll stick with Dolphin HD for viewing the YouTube content, seeing that i use Dolphin for viewing websites other than YouTube.
I'm trying to watch videos from the BBC mobile sports site http://www.bbc.co.uk/sportmobile on my HOX but when I load the page I'm getting the message "Sorry your phone is not compatible to play media from this website"
Any suggestions on how I fix this?
Yep, it won't work in the built in browser (nor in Chrome).
However, it works fine in Dolphin Browser HD and Opera Mobile, both free in the market.

It works for me.....
Try enabling the flash player, not sure if that would make a difference.

Spot on, I enabled the flash player (which I had completely overlooked) and it works fine. Any idea why this is disabled by default? Is it to conserve the battery?
