HTC Desire Flash not work properly

I'm pretty sure I wasn't imagining things but I successfully went on megavideo and watched an episode of the scrubs (=P) but now when I try it says this type of flash is not supported :S and on Youtube it used to load videos fullscreen when I pressed play but now it says Go Upgrade...
Is this due to a new firmware update? I heard a new one was released but I never went through any installing process.
I'd like my megavideo and Youtube back! =O Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

I've noticed video on the BBC website isn't working now either which it was working fine before.....

same thing here, youtube videos says, go upgrade....

The desire runs flash lite version 4. YouTube, iPlayer and most other flash apps run on the full version of flash, 10.1. Some things in 10.1 won't be backward compatible with Flash lite 4, so won't display correctly, or even run atall. When Android gets flash support officially it will run 10.1 but for now,you will have to do with the app variants.

ah but why could I view them before?

I know that iPlayer won't work and never has, but the other videos for example clips on the BBC News site always worked fine and now they dont.

I think they might have updated their application, and perhaps increased the minimal version number needed. That would explain why you get that message now.

I've been getting this too, been trying to load videos from various sources, as flash seemed to work in Farmville on facebook (I almost died when I saw it loaded up), and now nothing, the only ones that work for me are youtube videos, which I believe are handled through the HTC Streaming app. All other flash files on sites just give me the yellow '!' triangle, not a pretty sight at all.

I've also had this problem.

BBC website works fine on my Desire, as does playing a full flash movie. Try this:

Just watched that full screen with no issues over 3G

UStream.tv doesn't though - get a triangle

[ 2.2 only ): ] YouTube! <Updated with UI overhaul> On Market! [Google Standalone]

[ 2.2 only ): ] YouTube! <Updated with UI overhaul> On Market! [Google Standalone]
http://www.appbrain.com/app/youtube/com.google.android.youtube
above is the appbrain link. alternatively you can search YouTube on the Android Market to update your YouTube!
it's awesome.
watch videos while reading comments! or go fullscreen! always view videos as HQ!* UI overhaul! words cannot describe it. go check it out!
still can't comment in-app though. awesome nonetheless!
edit: *just found out that the update is only for android 2.2 ): Eclair users will still have to manually switch to HQ. sorry ):

how were u able to update?
im still getting installation unsuccessful even after removing the stock youtube.apk JPM...
Can you share the .apk file here please.
Thanks
Edit. All good I just had to reboot after deleting..

Works fine here, downloaded onto my JP6 firmware.
App is great, but the widget is too huge... doesn't match all my other widgets at all If it were smaller it would be great, has transparency and all.

This should be it.

And the best thing is:
Playback during LOCKSCREEN!!!!!!

This should be the first UI change for gingerbread! i hope it is!

Very nice
The new youtube app is wicked the play it plays a small video when in portrait mode i love it.....

Installation was unsuccessful at first when downloaded straight from the market...figured it had something to do with the current youtube app I still had so I uninstalled that and tried again and installation went fine this time.
It looks GREAT! And videos seem to load faster now for me with this app..or maybe I'm just imagining things. Either way, it's a huge step forward. Super polished. Great stuff! Here's to hoping this an indication of how sleek and polished Gingerbread will be.

I get a network error [400]both on wifi and 3g...

Market just let me update from old to new.
No need for any uninstall.

Installed with no problems, running a JPM/JP6 voodo pre 6 concoction

For those who cant get this working......its froyo 2.2 only!....sigh

I don't see any option for HD video. There is "HQ" but it's definitely not giving 800x480 (480p) resolution.
I don't know why they don't enable it, this and some other phones should be perfectly capable of streaming 480p.

The HQ logo must be red colored i think...
it was working in the previous version..

Great improvement. But it would be better if it cames as an automatic update.
By the way the videos are not HD but HQ

Hello Guys
Any pk missing you can find it in slideme,org, Thanks my Friends from Romania

This new app is wayyy better than the older one... Also, do you think that they're finally using the GPU for this app, as everything (including scrolling) is VERY smooth
If Gingerbread is this smooth, I'll be extremely happy.

kool that'll enable to play multiple pop up play videos i believe

Thanks, it works but I think it is not so powerful to play hd video and some powerful apps.. for example SGS3 handle HD movie with GTA3, but on Hox with this programm, video stopps.. hope it is because of Samsun original optimalisation player

anytime!
hmm we cannot though compare just an app with s3's pop up play its ofcourse different and maybe the most advanced one in it..
so as we like open a game or something the software would be configured to be stopped when such happens....
because i guess the app would not be crashing but just pausing/stopping so its already just configured that way, nothing wrong with the awesome htc one x ...
though why would one watch videos while playing games?
still enjoy as now u atleast have a pop-up play! and u can probably do all external things like texting and watching, etc

Why you need to watch video while playing. Guys this is phone and not a monsters. Don't expect more from our phone , unwanted things.

I do not see the point in the pop-up play????
Is this just a gimmick?
This is something you'll try once, then never use again!
You not going to suddenly watch a video then check you email!!!
Makes no sense!!! Just pause what your watching, do your stuff, then come back to watching the video.

Actually I missed this functionality a lot. I like to use my phone on internet and reading stuff more than on laptop but sometimes I just want to play some video or song for its sound (some eduacation stuff) but I hated that It just stopped and I cannot minimalise the video.
But I would prefer to include pop up function to some player like Bsplayer/MX player..

Hi,
i've a another issue with super Video:
smartgpc said:
It is HTC ONE 's video hardware (or driver) bug caused by some video sizes. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO FIX IT by us.
However you can ask HTC to fix it.
You can also change the video size to prevent the issue.

well friend the pop-up play app i mentioned is : Super Video, Floating and Popup .
the one giving you prob "super video" is different and i guess comes only in paid version.... its upto you that try Super Video, Floating and Popup free version first see if all videos are working fine or not in pop-up, etc(however you want to check) if it works well then ur wish to go for its pro version or just stay on the free one?!
though i want tell pop-up play is really good i saw seen people using it while texting, so mayb its 50-50 that people like it alot and some don't need it.. so totally upto them but atleast this feature can improve anyone's smartphone points i believe... like just for fun saying that you show it to a friend without pop-up play he gives 8 point, so what's wrong when he gives 9 points with pop-up being installed and enjoying its innovative features ?!
cheers!!

[Q] Slow youtube

Hi,
I am long time WFS user and never had problem with youtube before last update. After last update of youtube app, my phone can't handle it. It has some new fancy features but WFS is too slow for it. Does anybody know some good replacement with low requirements ? I mean some light app that can play YTB vids on this shi.tty phone. Best would be older youtube app but I dont have it. Thanks.
BTW: My WFS is clocked to 806mhz

I wasn't crazy about that last update, at least not on the WFS; and, I'm not sure I like that minimizing the playing video to the corner either, on any phone, but maybe too soon to decide.
My suggestion would be to go into Settings>>Applications>>Manage Applications and it should open to your, "Downloaded" apps, if not click on Downloaded. Then click on You Tube and you will have the option to uninstall updates. I believe this will leave the original You Tube and just uninstall the updates. If not, and it uninstalls all of You Tube, what are you going to lose. You have it now with all updates and you can always reinstall You Tube from the app store until you find something else. Now all of this is presuming you've optimized and still think You Tube is too slow.

[Q] Any AT&T Note 4 users getting 1080 and 1440p on Youtube?

Is there anyone that's of course not on root since we don't have it available yet, able to view YouTube in 1080 and 1440p resolution? I have tried everything and the highest it can go is 720. Anyone have a difference apk or a fix or something!? I know there are lots of fixes if you are rooted and running Xposed but I know that's not available to us. Anyone??

I downloaded the apk from the first post of this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-tmobile/general/youtube-1440p-root-stock-t2964677/page8
But instead of following the instructions I force closed youtube from application manager, cleared data, uninstalled updates, rebooted, installed the new apk, rebooted, opened the new youtube app, skipped the updates and skipped singing in, searched 1440p and tried a video, no luck though, so I went back to application manager and force closed youtube, cleared data. I then went back to the youtube app but this time I updated to the new version in the play store when it asked, and then searched for 1440p again, loaded a video and I have now gotten 1080p and 1440p on my note 4

Yeah the instructions are stupidly misleading from the posts and that thread in general was garbadge.

I can "play" videos listed as 1440p and it DOES look good on the screen. But when I hit the three buttons and choose settings all I see is listed to 720p. Are you all ACTUALLY seeing the 1080p and 1440p listed as an option in the settings?
I followed the link and directions a few post up...

When I said search 1440p it's just to find a demo video, it doesn't affect anything in the steps, go ahead and clear data for the youtube app, did you update after you opened the apk in the other thread?

Yes, just went back and tried your steps above one by one and still only getting up to 720p listed. Did you use the NEWEST from that link you reposted? I used version com.google.android.youtube-6.0.11-60011301-minAPI15-1.apk Should I use the 6.0.13?

Yup so use the 6.0.11 and open the app, try a video, then force stop the youtube app, clear data, open it up again and then UPDATE to the new version of youtube from within the app, it's odd how this works so it seems a bit different for each person

I followed the steps above and i still dont have an 1080p or a 1440p option appear in the settings during play back. I also pulled up the same TF4 1440p trailer.

Still cannot get the 1080p or 1440p to show up with the above instructions. Tried it multiple times. Double checked before and after reboots to see which youtube version it showed after installs and update. No big deal as i dont use youtube too often. I was wondering if it is a limitation due to area of the country? Provider? Which lte network the phone is connecting to? What speeds WiFi network is giving? Or something else that determines it?
Thanks for the instructions and help anyways. Have a great New Year

Yep, same here no matter what I try.

1080p is available on my Nexus 7(2013), but nothing on the Note. Kinda pisses me off.

Yeah, I posted what I did to get 1080 and 1440 but I think it's finicky in the way it works and won't work for everyone.

Yeah the way the get it working is hit or miss when it comes to certain devices. The way I got mine working was installed an old apk of YouTube and then ran it and it worked. Then I updated it though the playstore and the option for higher resolution was still there. That's how I got mine working.

Not really a solution for streaming, but I use Tubemate to download videos in 1440 (if available). It's not on the app store, you'll have to do a search http://lmgtfy.com/?q=tubemate

I dont get it...! I get 1440p playback on my Tab S using the same YT version of the app i have i the Note 4 and no 1440p playback on my Note 4.
