Can someone please check if YouTube mobile page loads on stock or any other browser? My phone for about a couple of days doesn't load YouTube mobile page and embedded videos don't show up on other sites. For example can you check here if videos appear for you?

Are you sure you are talking about browser and not the app? I can't understand how this is happening only to me. My s3 also has the same problem so it isn't related to M8.

Yes sir. Hence why I said "all", I tested Youtube mobile and both stock browser and google chrome browser. I can view videos from all sources. I also tested with the link you showed, it plays fine.

You want help? Give us more info...
* What are you using to watch youtube videos? Somebody tell me if I´m wrong but, you can´t watch youtube videos with the rom only. You need an app to do that.
Here are some...
1 - Skyfire
2 - Youtube.cab - It lags a lot...
3 - Coreplayer - I use this one!
* What connection are you using? Wi-fi?
Sometimes connection is too slow to stream the video.
So... give us more info so you can get a better help....
Regards.
Thanks Joe, I just mentioned the Rom because I thought it might have something to do with it. I'm using wi-fi and I'm loading video using the youtube program from google, I'm assuming that's the youtube.cab ? I've been test playing the same video and it seems like the video freezes briefly at around the same times everytime. Skyfire seems to be working but the screen goes blank momentarily throughout a viewing. Coreplayer, I haven't tried but I'm assuming clicking a link on youtube would open up the player to play a video? I'm hoping there's a better way because that sounds more memory intensive. Thanks in advance for whatever help I can get.
Okay the YouTube official app is a sham and judders even on a Kaiser with extra grunt, skyfire is going though a server so all depends on that, CorePlayer will play anything thrown @ it, RTSP of YouTube is good quality... Not exactly memory intensive

I think you should give CorePlayer a try... the youtube.cab (from m.youtube.com) sucks. If you are going to try CorePlayer, it has its own youtube search engine built in. You do not search using a browser, you do it using CorePlayer.
I hope it helps.
Regards.

How do you use the search engine in Coreplayer? I can't seem to find that in Coreplayer.

Got it. Thank you for your quick reply
thanks guys good to know youtube cab is the problem. I just wanted to know it wasn't me causing it
I'm using CorePlayer,when I play a .flv file that I've downloaded from youtube.The sound is ok,but the videos still so lagging.So,what should I do ?
I miss Fring when it had Skype, any other apps out there?
I use iMovicha. I haven't had any issues with it.
qik now has a desktop app for videocalling but they still have that stupid $5 a month charge for better video chat
Where is this desktop app? I never can find it. Qik in Touch still only does one way streaming from what I can tell.

I was only able to find the Qik in Touch also. The one way streaming is a bummer and it is pretty useless to me because I think you need to login on the computer to see what your are streaming. Why would I give someone else my username and password so they can watch me.
Didn't hear anything about a separate app, wish that Skype would add video chat sometime soon.

The quality isn't perfect, but iMovicha is the only one that works for now.

Are you sure that's the desktop (PC) client?
What can we do with it?
Places like Vimeo won't let you see html5 video without detecting a specific browser. I believe youtube works the same way.
It seems like there is plenty of html5 content, but that it doesn't show if it doesn't recognize the browser.
what can we do more with html5? does it more faster?

indeed I also tried it on YouTube but it defaults back to the mobile website. Html 5 is quite useless now for the most popular video websites it seems.
you also tried changing the ie9 to "desktop"?

I totally forgot about that setting.
I changed it to desktop, enabled HTML5 on YouTube, and guess what, it started working just fine.
Update: I now realize that it doesn't work on all the YouTube videos, as I am guessing only a portion of them playback in HTML5. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it told me I needed Flash. Go figure.
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?
Hi everyone!
Lately I'm having trouble with playing videos on when I'm in some browser. For example, if I'm trying to watch a video on a web site, the screen starts flickering and I have to restore the website 2 or 3 times. It also happens using the facebook or twitter browsers or also any other browser app.
It starts going black and white. Like the pic I show you.
Does anybody knows why is this happening??
I think it started after the last June update
Thanks!
Yes,I am facing this issue with inbuilt browser in Facebook app.I an still trying to figure out the reason.
