Android Youtube App VS Ipod Touch Youtube App

why is the android app for youtube so incredibly bad?

Whats the difference (I haven't tried the iphone youtube app).

used both before, and I dont see much of a big difference in both? Reasons for saying so?

When you go to a different point in a video using an iphone or an ipod touch the video doesn't take anywhere near as long to load. Also when the video is fully loaded if you go to a different point in the video it loads straight away.
However, with the android youtube app if you go to a different point in the video it doesn't load straight away even though the vid has fully loaded.
That's my major gripe. Also the seek bar on the android youtube app isn't as accurate.

Seems perfectly fast for me... less than 2 secs if it needs to buffer, and less than a sec if its already buffered.

there are Lots of Android YouTube Apps, which one are you talking about?

He is probably referring to the pre-installed youtube app... which works perfectly fine for my SGS.. not slow as the TS says..

the preinstalled one is very poor, the actually website is better than the app/

...my one´s also working like a charm. Maybe it depends directly to your network. Even WiFi or HSDPA working fast and smooth, w/o any problems.

Well, it's not really a leak since the source is available - the XBMC guys have chosen not to make an APK available yet because it's not complete (lack of hardware accelerated video playback comes to mind). Anyway, the APK is from here: https://www.miniand.com/forums/forums/1/topics/136. It may be worth looking there from time to time as they say they plan to keep the APK updated.

Interesting. Wonder if the skins work like the linux version

So far iv only used 3 skins, 2 work perfect and the 3rd also works but there are some menus you cant assess like when you press left arrow on remote/keys.
Its not playing my MP3 over WIFI but it plays Videos in MKV and other file formats with sound but low FPS,
Movies,Pictures and most other things work fine when played from the SDcard/stick
UI is very small but usable.
Looks very promising

Im finding the menu issue is present with my favourite skin... Neon. Although I can get the sideways ones to pop out sometimes. I eventually managed to get the movies into slide view.... After lots of swiping and button pressing. I still dont know what made it pop out. Havent managed to get the to pop up when the view menu is at the bottom though so I cant get out of slide view.

All my mkvs etc play awesome straight from my network drive smooth as hell looking great

Crashes
Anybody else tried playing with this?
I had an old version that ran, but after downloading the nightlies lately, non of them run, they crash with an error that they can not load libxbmc.so, I checked the app libs folder and it is present and non-zero but it still doesn't load.
Anyone have any idea why?
My GS3 is stock, rooted 4.0.4 (BLG8).

Allshare Cast and Multiview: Must Read!

*Allshare Cast and Multiview: Must Read!People, I have fallen in love once again with this phone. I have had it since early November. I am a huge streamer of movies from my phone. I use the wireless Allshare Wireless Hub. Today I got curious and wondered what would happen if I streamed video from my phone and while watching use the multiview feature to see what would happen. And what happened made me the proudest owner of this smartphone ever. The video stayed in full screen people! On the tv! But still allowed me to go to other apps as if I was just letting it play fullscreen video! I know u can tell I'm excited. But this is absolutely amazing and it does it without a hiccup. I'm actually streaming a movie to my big screen from my Note 2 while I write this post at the same time, all from my Note. Samsung is the ish!*Let me know if this is something u all already knew. Am I late to the party?

Wow. Good to know this works. Are you streaming a movie you downloaded onto the phone or you are streaming a movie from say Netflix?

That's a good question, I was using the native video player, but I just tried Netflix and it also does the same thing for Netflix. One word...Awesome! But it's weird. When I'm watching Netflix in multi view and I go to the other window, Netflix pauses. Annoying. Guess its not optimized for multi view. I'm rooted with stock and I have the Xposed tweak for all apps in multi view.

Yea, I found this out last week. Only works with videos directly on the phone. Hasn't worked with netflix, hulu, or hbo go as they pause and stop streaming. I was pretty impressed too, hopefully this improves.

I don't see how I could be that late. For one thing we just got the multi view update without having to root. I was rooted with Jedi 7.2, I couldn't even get my Allshare cast hub to work then because of the stupid counter. So once the update finally came out I went back to stock using the injected root method, reset my counter with Triangle, and then installed the Xposed tweak. Unless you've had the international version I don't see how I could be that late.

You lucky T-mobile users. The AT&T version disables simultaneous use of multi window and allshare cast. I hope someone can pinpoint the difference. This is a feature I really wanted in my phone

I stream 1080p no problem.

By the way MHL also works like that. I found out yesterday when watching Youtube and using multiwindow that Youtube stayed full screen and I could actually minimize it to just a tiny sliver on the bottom and use the rest of the screen to do whatever else I wanted on multiscreen. I was just as pumped as you were! My girlfriend was over at the time and I described it to her as a "Geekgasm!" lol :victory:

My allshare cast sucked. Dropped frames, had to resync everytime you wanted to connect a new samsung mobile device. Just to sync, it would take 20 tries. Very painful experience. Ill stick to using dlna through my sammy bd player. Works perfect every time.

I am streaming videos, youtube and all online videos from note 2 to my laptop/TV using iMediaShare. Watching streamed videos from phone on TV/laptop screen and simulataneously operating phone as normal including multiview.

I thought the all share dongle only works with stock.. cause mine wouldn't connect unless I was on stock.. and when I went to tv links on line and tried to watch tv the voices would lag... the dongle sucks.. I got the note 2 smart dock.. it has a hdmi slot and usb ports for a cordless mouse.. it's way better...

Need help!
Hi everyone!
I've been an iphone user and finally made the big switch with the Galaxy Note 2 because of the multi view feature and the screen recording mode feature (which apparently never ended up working).
I have a stock (4.1.2) Unlocked international version n7100 Galaxy Note 2 that I've been using with an allshare cast hub. The video is a little glitchy but for the most part works great. I came to this thread by doing a google search on multiview with allshare cast.
I really want to be able to use multi view while I'm connected to allshare cast hub and streaming videos. This feature doesn't seem to work on my phone. Do I have to have my phone rooted to do this? I've never done a custom rom or rooted my phone before and I'd like to avoid that if at all possible. Do you just hold the back button during a video to bring up multiview like you would when not connected to allshare cast?
Also, has anyone figured out how to watch netflix while using multiview yet without having it pause video? I'd like to get all of my apps working in multiview and from what I've read so far the only way to do that is by rooting phone, correct?

One of my proudest moments with my Note. I feel you man. It's a great feeling what this phone can do.

I am Stock Rooted, only so that I could download and use Xposed for the xMulti Window Mod to use all my apps in the multi window. I have noticed the Netflix bug with the movie pausing when you try to use Multiview. I have found that if you start using multiview before you click on the movie to watch it will no longer pause. What I do is I open netflix and then use multiview to bring in another app on screen and then I play the movie. Works everytime. And it works like it should without pausing. And you are able to change apps as normal. But i would def. recommend getting the Multi Window Mod so that you can experience the Multiview the way it should have been out the box. I don't know why they didn't allow all apps out the gate. The only apps that I have trouble with in multiview is TMZ and Flipboard. Otherwise I am a multiview crackhead.
Hope this helps!

Hulu Plus on T-Mo Note 3?

Hello All,
I currently have a rooted T-Mo Note 3 - stock with just a few things like Carrier IQ, BlurbWallet, etc disabled and a stock Nexus 5. Comparing the Hulu Plus app on two devices it appears that Note 3 is only able to stream video at ~480p, whereas Nexus 5 is able to do 1080p. Also on Nexus I get a video quality selector with Med, HD, HQ options whereas on Note 3 this video selector is not shown.
I'm sort of torn between the two devices - I love the AMOLED screen on the Note 3, but really frustrated at the video quality issue with Hulu. I tried editing build.prop to simulate Nexus'es values and re-installing Hulu app from the store, but it didn't make a difference.I did find this article on Hulu site stating:
Unfortunately, certain Samsung phones and tablets do not fully support the high-quality streaming format Hulu Plus for Android uses (H.264 Main and High profile). As a result, in order to support these devices, we provide a different single-quality streaming profile to these devices. Therefore, since only a single quality is available, we do not make the quality selection setting accessible.
I believe however, that "the certain Samsung phones" they mention are older devices and Note 3 should have all those codecs and should be able to do 1080p.
Anyway, just want to know if anyone is able to get this to work and take full advantage of Note's beautiful screen with Hulu. Also wondering if this would work with alternative ROM whether TouchWiz or AOSP/Cyanogenmod.
Thanks in advance

Before the app was updated for the Note 3, I was able to test Hulu Plus and you were able to select which video quality you wanted (Low, Med, High).
The Note 3 was not able to keep up with the High Quality Setting and would just completely lag and stutter. It would only work on medium or low quality. So it seems that even the newer Samsung devices don't support the streaming format Hulu Plus uses. It not Hulu fault, its Samsung for not making the Note 3 support the format.

Hey - thanks for the reply. Do you remember by chance which version of Hulu app was that? I saw a thread with all Hulu apk versions posted somewhere on XDA - I would want to experiment with that.

I believe it was 2 versions ago but that won't matter because the update was applied on the server side. Even if you load the previous versions, you won't get to choose the quality

Yeah, streaming hulu plus on my nexus 7 2013 is awesome with smooth hd resolution, whereas on my note 3 its a crappy pixelated mess which seems to run at 15 fps or something. .. even the note 2 played the videos smoother! !

4.4.2 Update
Figured I'd post an update after upgrading to the official 4.4.2. Basically, nothing has changed - Hulu still does not have any streaming options and it seems to stream at 720P, whereas my Nexus 5 and Nexus 7 get the full 1080P stream. It's too bad, because Note 3 has such a beautiful screen...

[Q] Will it be enough?

Hi XDA!
I'm thinking of buying myself a Galaxy Tab 10.1 (Wi-Fi only), and I wanted to ask you if it will be enough to cover my needs. The thing is, I don't know how the Intel Atom performs, and I thought that maybe the tablet would be laggy, so if you have some real-world experience with it, could you please help me?
Mostly, what I will do with it is:
- Viewing PDFs
- Viewing and editing office douments
- Video playback (maybe using an HDMI adapter on the micro-USB port, I think this tablet supports MHL)
- Lightweight Android games (Cut the rope, Where's my water, and the like, not Shadowgun nor heavy games)
Since the ROM scene for this tablet is pretty scarce, I thought of only rooting and removing bloatware. Maybe using Xposed? Opinions on that?
Thank you!

I got the tablet for very much the same reasons you mentioned. It works great for those needs. I had put MS Office on my S4 and thought it would work on the tablet, it does not. However, I use quick office on the tablet and then just verify formatting on my laptop later.
It will do all those things you mentioned out of the box. If you are looking to debloat and get flash support then I suggest checking out the Pimpdroid rom in the 10.1 development forum. It is easy to flash. Also has Xposed pre installed.
I have not used an adapter to do video playback but have synced it with Samsung link for video playback and surround sound music with my other samsung devices. It works well.
I would say get it. If you want to check out Pimpdroid do it.
