go to settings>apps>all apps> youtube > delete standard values (something like that)

Did you mean "Clear defaults"?
It's gray out. .

Then go to settings - video player and clear default. Next time it asks then choose YouTube as always.

Maybe I should have mentioned this @op (sorry guys). I already tried to clear defaults from other video players (all that I could find) and all of them are gray out. I also install app that shows the defaults settings and still I couldn't find the reason why youtube links opened only with the g3 original player
Any ideas ?

Youtube uploader : no videos upload

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

Youtube links in browser

When I open this link in my browser it doesn't play a video:
/v/fa2_TWLREtU&autoplay=1 (add youtube.com before /)
but whenever I change it to:
/watch?v=fa2_TWLREtU (add youtube.com before /)
it plays just fine, only problem is FriendStream uses the first format.
Is this normal? Or does the browser doesn't support SWF's or something?
when i try to open youtube stuff, it will open the video with the built-in youtube app. maybe you set some app as a default youtube app - did you check the "set to default settings" within applications preferences (dont know the correct english terms)?
Youtube app doesn't play some videos it says not available in mobile but if u play it in the browser it works

I mean when playing them in the BROWSER, the first link doesn't work the second one does. Why is that?
This doesn't concern the youtube app, but the flash player in the browser

CM9 BETA1 Won't download music or video

I am on CM9 Beta 1 and when I try on any browser to download a music or video file (no matter what site) it only gives me the option to play the video or music clip in the stock video player or music player. I ran into this problem once before and just found and deleted the video player and music player but when I tried to do that this time I could not find the video or music player anywhere in the root explorer. I can't even be sure that deleting them will sove my problem. I've asked before but no one seems to understand what I mean. I hope i've made it completely clear what the problem is. My question is, can anyone help me figure out how to either disable the players or find a way around them to be able to download music and videos on my phone again? Thank you in advance
Sounds like you went to download some music or video in the past, and selected the "do this by default" option set on your browser, you may want to clear data on the browser, and whatever app it opens when you try to download. That should help.

I've tried that too. No matter what browser I use the same thing happens. and as for the video and music player. They're not even in the app list. it's like they're ghost apps! lol but seriously thank you for the suggestion though
I reinstalled everything and i'm able to download music and files again. Video is still only giving me the option to watch and not download. it wouldn't be an issue but i used to like downloading and then watching videos instead of having it buffering every 3 seconds.

open inline YouTube videos in YouTube app

Does anyone know how to force inline YouTube videos in the stock browser to open in the YouTube app instead of flash?
I hate the full screen flash view of YouTube. Everything is tiny and a little laggy.
If the YouTube video has a YouTube icon on the lower right of the video (some don't), then you can click on that and it will take you to the YouTube app.

thanks but I tried a bunch of webpages and none have that youtube icon. I've seen it before so I now what you are talking about.
example: http://www.theverge.com/2012/4/2/2916098/htc-one-s-review
It's surprising to me that using the stock browser to watch a google-owned youtube video in full screen results in such a disaster: it's virtually impossible to tap the button you want.
Try going to apps>browser>clear defaults then navigate to a video
in the browser. Does it let you choose a default for videos then? Only guess I have...

I still get that menu when I click on a youtube link. The problem is with the inline players that show up with flash.
No solution to this?

Video Player

Hi All,
Does anyone Know how i can get Videos to play using MX Player?(or similar)
KitKat 4.4 doesnt seem to like other players and i cant even find the built in app?
It looks cheap and nasty saying plugins missing and just basic play and thats it
I've tried different browsers to no effect , they all just load into default?
or can't i use other players?:crying:

Try Chrome with MX. works fine for me - if it always goes to default, reset the defaults in the app settings.

Default video player I believe is hidden, does downloading MX not give you a prompt when trying to play a video? There should be a prompt like "play with" and the you can select "just once" or "always", then select MX player
If you've selected the default player to play it always, then a factory reset will help. Make sure you back everything up.
Seriously? Factory reset just to clear default apps is a bit extreme.
How about trying default reset apps such as:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appiator.defaultappmanager
Nexus 7 LTE
Stock rooted KOT49E

Alternatively :
If you use ES file Explorer you can long press a file, hit more/menu, go to "open as" select video, then select the installed program you want to use.

The current version of MX player worked fine on 4.4 but lost compatibility with 4.4.1 update. Im just waiting for the developers to release their update of MX, it will come soon Im sure.

Are you in the USA? I'm in the USA and the VLC program says it's not compatible with my Nexus 7 and it says it's not available in my country. I have Android 4.4.2.

Just go to this link: http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/android-armv7/ and download the latest nightly. It works great.

Thanks! It's working. I didn't even think of trying the daily builds since the app store said it's not even compatible with my device.
I'm using this Dice Player for playing videos, works on 4.4.2.
get it on Google Play.

Me too. The good thing mx player not working on 4.4.2 is forcing us to search better alternatives. Diceplayer is a good one. Samba server, ftp, stream, dts, audio booster etc. And no ads here.
Sorry my english.

Diceplayer has a nice Samba browser, but it won't play any of my .mkvs over my home network like MX would.

Have you tried using a libffmeg.so diceplayer compliant?

The reason the play store says it is not compatible is because it is blocked in many countries including the US. I read somewhere that it is a licensing issue.
