I mean to clarify, how many times will I receive the default application message for my often repeated selection? I select youtube and 'always', the message appears that I can change it in my settings if I need to. I am at a different website, I choose a video. Hey, here's that crafty default application request again, do I want to select youtube? Just like the last time 'always'. Just like the last time the message appears that I can change it in my settings if I need to.
Make it stop.
I didn't know youtube could become a default app. Actually, the youtube app is disabled on my N4 as I only watch vids through my browser.
It sounds like you have more than one app like the youtube app that can play online vids. Did you install one or more? If you did, try uninstalling them or disabling them. That way, perhaps the youtube app will be the only one and become the default like you want it to.
Also, I'm sure the youtube app is only affiliated with youtube videos. Hence when on another site, are you expecting "any" type of video to play in the youtube app? I don't think that's going to happen.

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

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

Ok I'm coming from another phone where I'm used to certain things so I'm trying to figure out some things on the Incredible... any help would be appreciated.
1. How do I send MMS video? No matter what resolution I take a video at, when I try to send it through MMS I get the message saying it's too large. It doesn't give me the option to edit it and send or anything.... When I used other android devices (Hero and N1) there was an option to take "MMS Video" which I thought was pretty poor way of doing things since I could be taking a video that I then wanted to later send as MMS but didn't have the option if it wasn't taken at MMS... Shouldn't it just convert it and send it for you or something? Anyhow, I don't even see the "MMS Video" option so I figured they had fixed this and made it so it converts it for you but no dice...
2. In the web browser I can't view videos like on Vimeo etc... For some reason I was under the impression that this phone did flash? But I can't get flash videos OR HTML5 embedded videos to load. :-( Now on Vimeo, the video does appear to be there but when I hit the play button the loading bar appears, loads up to 100% and then nothing happens... and hitting the full screen toggle in the corner of the video window doesn't make it full screen either... What am I doing wrong?
3. On the mail client it doesn't seem to be rendering HTML correctly. Some of the formatting is broken and I have to tell it to load pictures each time I open a message. Is there a way to change it so it always loads all HTML and pictures? Also when I do click to load the pictures, the rendering is off and not sized correctly; I have to scroll side to side as well as up an down to view the full email. Also a lot of the text is unaligned especially around pictures. This also happens in the Gmail app too. How can I improve this?
4. In the camera App, the app works fine actually it's just odd that the controls are stuck in landscape mode and when I turn the phone to portrait the controls don't change with it... Just seems like something that should be addressed especially in out of the box apps.
5. Is there a way to arrange the order my friends are in on the people widget?
6. What's the default movie player on the Incredible and does it support subtitles/chapters? How do I get them on the device?
7. What are some good task switchers you recommend? Other than the default long press on home task switcher.
try skyfire browser for vimeo.. works well but unfortunately does not work for hulu

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?
I am having problems viewing videos on embedded websites. It shows a block with the block with ?. Any help would be great.

It would help if you gave us the websites so we can see what you are talking about. If it's a flash video, you may not have Flash Player installed. If it's any other kind of video, it just may not play on android.
CNN is one. I have flash installed.
If you have flash in browser settings as on demand. Flash content will not autostart. You have to tap the box, then wait for the video to load, then tap play.

where is the flash setting?
Open ur browser. Hit menu, settings, scroll to enable plugins. You can set it to always on which can slow webpage loadtimes but all flash content loads automatically
you should try going to settings, apps, manage, look forflash player, and uninstall updates, latest 10.2 update didnt work on a lot of phones, also if you wanna keep it from autoupdating you can break the market link link with titanium b, you can always reenable the link when new working update come out
First just wanted to say thanks. I have checked that setting. I have done a reset. Flash seems to work but no videos will play.
When I use multi-window mode on my Galaxy S with Netflix and any other app, Netflix will pause when I use the other app. This is frustrating because I can't watch a show while checking Facebook, for example (which is the whole point of the multi-window feature). Is there a workaround for this? If not, can someone give me some practical applications for this feature? I've got some in mind, but I'm curious to see what others have used it for.
I have searched for a work around myself and unfortunatly even with root and with the far superior multitasking that TWDetox uses I have found no way to keep netflix playing while multitasked. I think this behavior is intentional from netflix so you don't "miss a moment" but yea it is annoying.
As for uses for the multitask I use it with almost every other video program and it works beautifully. Aside from that the usual use of looking something up while answering an email so I can easily copy and paste. Also using the open in annother app option on web videos lets most play in the built in video player that can be multitasked over any (yes any even without root) app. This makes watching a video while working on something else an easy experience. Add in a Upnp player type app that allows rendering to the player of your choice and even network attached storage videos can play overtop of any app.
