YouTube and Chrome

I've noticed that when you click on a you tube video or link in chrome it takes you to the YouTube mobile site instead of the YouTube app like the stock browser. Does anyone know a work around for this?

I think a lot of people have noticed that:
1 - Chrome will always us a mobile site if on is available, and the user agent cannot be changed.
2 - Chrome does not appear to be able to launch apps from links...

That could change with future updates as well. Never know, its just a beta.
I've also noticed chrome doesn't give the option to push to desktop view like the stock does. Overall, I like the speed and features of the chrome.
workaround

how do you stream in HD?

it seems like I can't stream anything in HD. is there a setting for this? Both YouTube and Netflix apps streams in 360 or 480p even when HD button is on. it's kind of annoying when I know I can get better picture than that. What's the purpose of having a nice screen when you can only stream in this resolution? is there a way to force these to stream in 720p? or at least an apk that will work on Galaxy Note II. i've found some but it doesn't work on my NII. thanks.

Hd YouTube only works on wifi unless you un install with titanium and flash custom one YOU MUST RESTART YOUR PHONE BETWEEN UNINSTALL AND NEW INSTALL

For youtube you can go to settings but I think its HQ and for you to see videos you have to make sure whatever video you choose to watch is a HD video that way when it starts you can select the HD option button remember on youtube you have to hope that the uploader had recorded their videos in HD also. Now for netflix it shows on its own since I have lte I really never tried to see if their was an option for HD in the settings.

both of them shows pixelation even both the Netflix shows I watch and YouTube channels in am subscribed to is both available in HD. I cannot express how much I hate this.
I see you use Sprint version. have you tried comparing it side by side a laptop or desktop if they are the same? I tried comparing them and note II was inferior of the three, but when I run a video I have on my sd card it looks crisp.

The Netflix app I'm not sure about, but a quick search might find it for you
noted for future reference on my Note 2

this! I tried this earlier with TIBU but I can't install it. Apparently it stayed at my app drawer so it blocked me from installing it. I tried it again and worked like magic. it's finally streaming true HD! now we just need netflix. I tried some already but all of them won't work. It force closes on me. tyvm

mine didn't. It seems like it's not just me. There's a huge difference between the modded apk linked above than the one on play store. no pixelation and discoloration on the new apk. crisp and clear just like how it looks like on a laptop. but now it eats a lot more data which is fine since I have unlimited 4g nationwide. I guess I see why the official one doesn't offer true HD. ^^.
I hope somebody do something like that for netflix. I've searched but no one has a working apk on Samsung devices. :/

Download Tube mate (Google It) you can stream or download 1080P,720P,480P,360P HD videos on 3G/4G/LTE or WiFi. Works great for me. Also there's a modded Netflix APK that supports 720P. Google it as well. I don't like posting links because they may be considered as spam.

[Q] Video content Apps LAG when playing HQ videos in HULU/NETFLIX

Looking to see if anyone else has the problem with the video stutters but audio is fine in apps like HULU or Netflix. For my note 3 it feels like the apps are not updated to support this awsome device yet. Does anyone notice this or have the same problem? Or is it just my Note?
Hulu lags for me too and I'm on strong wifi. No idea what's wrong

My note stutters on hulu too.
Sent from my SM-N900T
I msged hulu trying to get this fixed and they won't help me it looks like without proving my IMEI number which is just plain dumb.
Has anyone found a solution for this or is it just certain devices? It is very bothersome not being able to use apps.
I get stutters on any 1080p YouTube video and any video inside of chrome or stock browser.

Really? Man this just doesn't make sense. This thing is a powerhouse and it can't play videos. ...Samsung FAIL

Does anyone have the updated YouTube APK

Bow that YouTube update the app and it no longer supports 1080 or 1440, does anyone have a working apk that activates those two resolutions? I found the apk of the new material design version but the highest resolution is still 720p! I hope they really fix this soon! Anyone have any info on this?
I just view you tube from chrome browser and get 2k.

HDR on YouTube is a hit or miss

Sometimes it works and sometimes it does not. Not supposed to function that way I have to force close the app and launch it again just to watch for the HDR to kick in. I can't find NO guide on how to fix this. Anyone?
Sent from my EVR-L29 using Tapatalk
Probably it depends on which YT video has HDR and which not. Or you have the problem the same YT video has HDR and next time it has no HDR?
How do you get HDR on YouTube?
