So Roku updated their remote app yesterday. They added to the "Play on Roku" feature to allow us to now play videos on the Roku like the iPhone. I have the option within the app to play pictures and video. But no pictures or video are listed.
I can go into gallery and share my pictures to Play on Roku. But none of my videos give me this option. Tried recorded videos and downloaded videos.
Anyone able to stream videos with the updated app? The support.roku.com site is pretty out of date, and figured I would get a quicker response here.
Edit: it seems they removed the share feature from the new 2.3 version. So you can only play videos via the app. Can someone who hasn't updated dump the 2.2 version for me? Apparently play on video was added in 2.2, but wasnt in the change log, so i had no idea the feature was there. You could share via a file manager or gallery. And I already have and use juice, but would rather use 1 app than 2 for the Roku.
Edit2: here you go. I found the 2.2 apk.

hi folks,
i wonder to know if you guys can still upload videos to your youtube account using the standart youtube uploader located in the video album menu.
every time i choose to upload a vidéo, i get the message that the task has been send to youtube,and then nothing,no more messages and no videos uploaded.
did youtube changed something?
i have my account setting configurate in Settings > Connections > Account manager.
Any clues about what can be wrong?
is there a .cab that update this function?
thxx for helping
best regards
Hi.
I've been playing with this a little, and I've found that my videos are being uploaded, but aren't accessible via the youtube app on the phone. If I go to youtube on my PC, then the newly uploaded vids are available when I log in to my account. But no matter what I do with the youtube app (even doing a search for the video ID, seen in the URL as v=xxxxxx), I cannot find them.
I'd really like to upload a vid and see the difference between captured video, and the same video uploaded and played back via the youtube app, but I can't
At a guess, I'd think that the search engine for the youtube app is different from the one on the actual website, and simply doesn't get refreshed as often.
It's still a FANTASTIC feature, regardless, and one that I'll be using a LOT from now on
John.
Is there an app? Or do you have to use the touch Youtube site?
from what i've read, the first time you visit a youtube clip, it will ask you to download an extension, and after this it will play it like would any other video. it's not a seperate application persay, but merely just an extension to IE to allow you to play the youtube clips.
I could be wrong on this, but I have seen videos of youtube playing, so it's definitely there.

I just read on Wikipedia it will run it in a sort of media player app, but they state that Adobe Flash 10.1 is on the way so this could be improved, or hell, there is the possibility updates will bring Youtube apps and better support.
There is built-in support for viewing the videos, but Google will need to develop a separate Youtube app if you want the off-browser experience.

Chances are that Google are already working on an application for YouTube.
App in Marketplace that plays Youtube over 3g is craptastic, horrible quality over 3g. Seriously over 3g the quality is worse than on a Blackberry. WTF MS?
Microsoft doesn't own YouTube, so I dunno why you're asking them.
And the quality is probably poor because it's playing 240 or 360p version of the videos instead of HQ.
That's why Google needs to release a YouTube App.
Microsoft has more important things to worry about, like, the actual operating system.
The youtube experience on WP7 is amazing.. its the first phone i ever used that didn't require a full fledged app. I sort of like it that m.youtube.com works out of the box and there isn't "an app for that" - with that being said, people are free to use the youtube api and make their own apps and google may do just that. However with m.youtube.com the quality for me is amazing. I don't watch it over 3g since AT&T rapes us with 3g bandwidth costs but over wifi the quality is beautiful. M.youtube.com also works with your login id so you can easily play your favorite and surf the website. It isn't a pretty package, but hell, sometimes its better that the web integration works this well rather than waiting for a required app
Apparently the youtube app adjusts the video settings if not on wifi. Which doesn't make sense since my 3g connection can more than handle youtube....
Maybe contact the developer and see if we can get settings adjustments.
edit: nevermind, it lists microsoft as the developer so I guess maybe an update will help?
Hey guys,
This has already been found in the orther threads on xda but i thought i would bring this to the SGS2 forums. Video Live Wallpaper is an app in the market that will allow you to set any video with any video format and set it as you live wallpaper. It can Read from your memory card or from internal memory. Very cool app and i have been using it for a few months on different devices and doesnt drain battery as fast as i thought.
Also this is another app called tubemate which will allow you to download any video from youtube straight to your phone. with these apps together i was able to find music videos and have them set as my wallpaper and also have them set to change after each video. pretty cool find and much thanks to the dev who created the apps.
***tubemate is not in the market you will have to seach for it ....google tubemate apk android*****
Link to Video live wallpaper: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.ccpcreations.android.VLW&hl=en
Nice concept. Will try it out.
also when downloading videos make sure you download the correct resolution that fits your phone ex: dont download 1920x1080 if your phone only supports up to 720p lol
nice!, i'll play with it
Is there a way to store shows, movies, and videos I load in the Google Play movies & TV App? I would like my videos to display for selection just like downloaded store content. I know I can go to settings and personal videos, but they are being stored in my gallery by default.
Thanks,
Rick
A few years ago was possible but nowadays not. Use Drive, Dropbox, Box etc.

Thanks for the reply. So, is it better than to just download a separate video app. I don't download much content from Play, and may make the default app disabled and just add a third party app.
I'm coming from iOS and just not as familiar with how all content gets integrated in.
Rick
Anyone else have any feedback? Where do you store your video content you will consume later? I'm coming from iOS where all media was stored in the player regardless if it came from ITunes store or was manually loaded onto the device.
I store mine on the N7 in either the Videos or Movies folder where MX Player can find them, though it would find them wherever I put them.
I also keep some on my pc for viewing at home by streaming them to the N7 with ES File Explorer.

Awful news.
Vanced apparently got a cease & desist and will be pulling all links in a few days. Current Vanced should still work until the api is updated. Possibly up to two years but Google could update it anytime. Really awful news since there is currently no good alternatives on Android other than Adguard (which thankfully I have). With Adguard, you can play a video and then click share and select Adguard and it will play the video ad free in the Adguard app but no background play and no sponsorskip.
We can only hope that somehow an alternative is released before the api is updated.

Personally Vanced caused more trouble for me (multiple casting device copies, etc.) than it was worth. How to get around it? Sub to YT. Just sayin'...

Can't link your Google account with Newpipe unfortunately.

YT Premium is priced to high for me to subscribe too. It's basically another Netflix sub which is ridiculous since it doesn't even include sponsorskip.
this is terrible news

Is this for real? Got any source you can reference for authenticity?
nevermind.. checked their official Twitter and confirms it. Kinda figured this would come eventually. Can't get in the way of a company making it's next million to put in the top execs pockets. This is definitely a punch in the balls.
I'm sure someone will come along with a new alternative.

True, but it is possible to import all subscriptions from youtube into NewPipe.

True but Newpipe is just not an ideal alternative. It's slow, the background popup player is buggy and doesn't allow any touch inputs behind the pip screen other than pulling down the notification window and selecting an app through settings. The feed doesn't include what I would expect based on my subs and watch history. I'm thankful it's available for us but it's not even close to being a good alternative to Vanced.
Mod Edit: Quote removed since post removed.
Tried using this just now but it still shows adds and has no background play. Not sure what is needed to get what you and their website claim?
Potential alternative:
Brave Browser blocks all ads and will allow PIP background play as long as you minimize video while it's playing in Fullscreen mode. Seems to work well. Just wish we could get sponserskip and dislike counter but still, this will be usable once Google updates the api.
RIP Vanced. I have Premium but i'll miss the dark OLED theme and the sponsor/reminder skips.
This sucks
Hopefully apkmirror won't take the links down, I've used it for 4 years and had no issues, my grandma uses it too haha
I've got YT vanced on all my family members phones both for root and non root
Sad news, seems all apk links have already been removed from their site already? (Can't download anything from api.vanced).
With their code being available on GitHub & old devs/mods already distributing their own builds earlier in the year, I don't doubt that this will be back in some shape or form (probably by an anonymous dev) when an update is actually needed. I can't really understand Google's decision to take this action though; no one I know personally who owns a Android device knows what Vanced is when I mention it (even the techy people) & whenever a company goes on the warpath in a attempt to destroy something, multiple clones always pop up (sometimes even becoming bigger than the original because of news stories, etc).
I downloaded the Vanced Manager apk and saved it to my Google drive so I will have it to install on phones I upgrade to in the next couple of years. I have YouTube Premium but use YouTube Vanced so I can override the video codecs and watch 4K 2160 videos in 4K instead of the limit of my phone.

hell Id say I'll start taking over the project, but the whole me vs legal Google thing is a little terrifying to think about. I can only imagine how many thousands of people use Vanced, now that Google has focused it's attention to this, they are more than likely looking at each download as potential lost revenue. My thoughts are with the dev who created/maintained this. I really hope Google doesn't try to destroy him financially. I'm certainly not a law student, but I could see them put together one massive lawsuit to try to bury the person/people responsible.

Vanced manager is just a front-end "installer" that links to a download url or api. This will probably stop working in a few days or weeks (hopefully I'm wrong). Hopefully, there will be a decent fork of vanced. It has to be completely anonymous though - and that's the tough part.
i'm still using it on my samsung galaxy core prime run 4.4.4 because youtube is no longer supported as below screenshot.I used older version of youtube vanced because it isn't compatible with latest version of it.I tried to install newpipe,youtube go.But newpipe do not have google play services to sign in google account because i want to i want to comment on video live stream on youtube.Youtube go use google play services so it allows sign in google account but it doesn't allow sign in multiple accounts.I installed vanced and it is great when it allow me to sign in google account and use multiple accounts.I'm so sad to hear that youtube vanced will cease
I hope there will be an app to replace youtube vanced when the api is updated and it will support older android like my smartphone because youtube is no longer supported on my device
