So, for awhile now this has been happening, i don't know if i'm the only one but honestly it's pissing me off.

YouTube issues?

Anybody having any YouTube issues? I'm using the YouTube widget and when I go searching for a particular video ('lookin' ass nigga houston' don't ask, haha) it says 6693 results for 'lookin ass nigga' and then where video results show up it says 'No videos found.' This was really embarrassing when my buddy with an iPhone was able to look it up and I was not. I'm running DamageControl 3.0 right now but when the problem showed up it was using OMJ ROM. The problem shows up on both ROMs. Anyone have any ideas as to what's going on? When I look up offroad unicycling I get videos but this one in particular, not so much.

YouTube - Laggy performance in HD

Anyone else noticing this? I caught a few threads in the Xperia forums stating the same thing. I had no problems viewing HD content on my Legend, yet the screen resolution was smaller. Perhaps it's something to do with the new 720x1280 displays?
Confirm. It looks choppy for a sec, then it skips frames and jumps ahead to compensate, then it starts choppy again, repeat. Regardless full screen or not - looks like not because of 1280x720
Stream is fast and buffer is full, not network issue.
Not seeing it... have a link of a video that doesn't work for you all?
I don't have a link, but lookup FPSRussia and watch his SA-80 video. That should give you an idea.
Edit: Gave it a go in Dolphin HD and the video plays without any form of stutter. Must be a crappy version of YouTube for these phones.
Happening for me sometimes. I can use the desktop version of YouTube and everything runs fine. Even if I watch a movie I recorded at 1080p and play it back in the video player, it's sometimes choppy.

I can't get YouTube to play HD, it seems to only play 480p.
not trying to revive a dead topic , but i have the same issue on Bell lg optimus LTE , i have tried deleting youtube and resinstall from the market. everything works fine 1080p etc on mx video player . maybe the youtube player has not been optimized for P930 ? if anyone has a solution to this, please reply !
Most likely it's just Youtube being broken or not optimized for the HD screen on this phone. I also have the same issue, and I even tried Screen Optimization. I feel that works a bit, but very little bit hehe.
I went ahead and uninstalled the update from the Android Market in Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > Downloaded > Youtube. It went back to version 2.1.6 from 2.3.4 so I restarted the phone and gave it a go. It seems to perform a hell of a lot better, still not perfect but at least it doesn't drive me crazy.
Give it a go and see for yourself, you could always update it again on the market.

I'll stick with Dolphin HD for viewing the YouTube content, seeing that i use Dolphin for viewing websites other than YouTube.

[Q] Youtube App HD Setting

Hey guys,
So I have a Galaxy Nexus running stock 4.0.2. I love watching videos on it, however my problem is that where I live, the fastest internet I can get is 1.5mbps. Therefore watching youtube videos at anything higher than 480p just simply isn't possible without letting it sit paused for a while to buffer.
When using the Youtube app on the Galaxy Nexus, a video in "HD" just can't load fast enough for me to watch. It seems as though the video might be loading at 720p, therefore with my internet it keeps stopping. And without HD enabled, the video quality is so horrendous it just isn't watchable.
So my question, is there any way to edit a file that will force the Youtube app to use 360p or 480p with the HD option? The app itself does not have any setting to specifically pick which quality.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
I only know of the "use high quality" option in settings. It allows you to pick to only stream HD quality videos. Maybe you could turn that off on your phone if it is on. If not I have not heard of anything like what you are looking for. It would be good to have a feature like that though.
Yea I know of that setting but its not what I am looking for. I just need a way to be able to pick a specific quality or for "HD" to default to 480p.
Does anyone know how this could be done?
Update. After research seems I got it confused with another app
There's a 3rd party youtube app which might help I think it called freetube or something not sure what settings it has

I couldn't find any Youtube app that lets me specify a certain quality.
Is there any way to get the Youtube app to specifically stream in 360p?
Anyone got an idea?

[Q] SIII PopUpPlay and Navigation?

With the release of the S!!! im finally hoping to see my dream come true of having google navigation in a floating window so i can see the nav and pandora/other apps at the same time, anyone have any idea if this will be a possiblity (since it seems that it will initially only support playing videos from the media player :? ) Any ideas?
theres apps available already i believe that allow you to do this
ill do a quick search and link them on here.
EDIT: heres one
STICK IT (Pop up Player

Sounds like this app is for people with ADD. Or is it the Stick It video.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
why would this app be for people with ADD...
Im aware of the ability to watch video on the s3 and the apps that attempt to replicate that currently available, but my question was if the s3 software would be able to be modified to open other types of content (ie google nav) in a window, and not just video from the media player. any idea?
bump, got to activate a couple s3's at work (sprint rep/tech) and the windowing feature is really smooth but is only available to video opened from the media player any idea of theres/ will be a way to open other apps to that feature?

[T800] Green screen on video playback

Hi all,
I'm having some strange green screen issues with Galaxy Tab S 10.5, but I can't find any helpful answers.
When running stock Lollipop ROM, Youtube and MXPlayer videos display perfectly, but Twitch and Netflix have issues. For all video players, audio works perfectly.
Netflix shows a green screen for all movies/TV shows, and Twitch shows green screens for all quality levels except for Source.
I flashed CM12.1, 6.0.1, and CM13 for T800, but these problems persist.
Any and all advice is appreciated, thanks!
EDIT: I've tried Twitch alternatives: Vortex, Lakitu, and Ace for Twitch. Vortex gives me "This video cannot be played" for all qualities while Lakitu/Ace give me the same green screen issues. One solution I've found is to use the Twitch add-on from Kodi, but this doesn't let me see chat. Ideally, I'd like to get a standalone Twitch app working, but if all else fails, Kodi works.
You haven't said if this occurs with stock firmware?
Oops, sorry, I thought I mentioned this in OP. Twitch doesn't work in stock 5.02 either. Actually, that was what prompted me to try CM12/13 and 6.0.1.
