Youtube videos don't zoom-to-fill anymore! - Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers

Hi,
Since one of the last youtube app updates I'm unable to use zoom-to-fill pinch gesture in youtube videos!
The only temporary fix I found is to clear data from the app. After that it will work as long as the app stays open in memory. After it closes the issue returns with no way to pinch to zoom in videos!
Does anyone have the same issue? Does anyone know a fix?
Thanks

Working fine for me on the latest version of Youtube. No issues.

I've managed a fix!
1. Deactivate Youtube app.
2. Downgrade to version 12.49.55 (from apk mirror for exemple)
3. Launch youtube and test pinch to zoom, it should be working fine
4. Update youtube app to the latest version through the play store
That's it. It works just fine now!

Youtube not opening by default on click

Afternoon all
Did a search but couldn't find anything dealing with this particular issue (if I've missed something, please point it out.).
When I use the native browser and hit a YouTube link, the browser opens up the HTC flash player/streaming media player. But I want it to open the YouTube app, like my HTC Hero used to.
I've tried clearing the defaults for the flash player, streaming media player, youtube app and internet but no joy.
If I try the same test using the Dolphin browser, I get the option to open youtube links with the youtube app, which is what I want the native browser to do!
Does anyone know how to get the native browser to handle youtube links with the youtube app?
Cheers

Bueller? Anyone?
anybody..
It's the same on mine. Can't see any way of changing it. I wonder if this is in anticipation of full flash support in the next Android release?
AFAIK it *should* work - it worked fine on the Hero and it works with the dolphin browser... I'm completely stumped

My Desire doesn't open Youtube Video/Link in Youtube app

Hi, just got my Desire
My problem is that I can remember seeing in videos about Android (or was it the iPhone?) that when I click on a Youtube link the Youtube app opens and I can rate the video etc and then return to the website.
But on my Desire the Youtube website opens and I have to click on the video and the "HTC Flashplayer" plays the video in bad quality.
Other example: On a website is the Youtube Player embedded and I click on the video. Again, the HTC Player opens and plays the video in bad quality. Now I have no chance to get to the Youtube site and rate or comment the video.
When i disable flash support the video isn't avaible at all. Is it possible to link the youtube videos to the Yutube app? I think I missed a checkbox or something... When I found a video I will post it here. Thanks for your help
Yep I posted a thread saying exactly the same thing a while ago, sadly there isn't anything you can do about it, it's one of those stupid decisions HTC have made.
If you root your phone and install froyo 2.2 however, videos will play from websites in the youtube app. But as soon as you install flash 10.1 beta you're back to the same problem, where it forces you to use the flash player instead of the excellent quality h.264 version. (in fact flash 10.1 beta is probably even worse than flash lite right now for playing youtube videos.) However if you do load up the flash version on froyo then tap on it, it does give you the option to open in the youtube app, but you have to load up the flash version first before it gives you the option.
When I disable flash in the options I doesn't see the video at all And in the options the HTC flashplayer say that he is 'No standard app' ("Kein Standard").
Isn't there a registry (coming from WM ) or something like that?
The only way for you to get such an option is to use a non-default browser. Like Dolphin HD. Using that, you do get such options when a YouTube link is clicked. Tragic decision by HTC, no doubt (although I don't have your limitation, oddly).

Hello.
I had the same problem (search the forum) but updated to latest Rom. Am using debranded Orange phone with T-Mobile sim card. Did OTA update, then WiFi stopped. Then installed full Rom using goldcard, didn't even get asked for a simunlock code (had used one previously). Now working! YouTube opens on clicking a link like on the Hero. Like it should.

@th3: Will try this. Is there a favourite browser (Dolphin HD?) like Opera on WM?
@Splather: Which ROM are you using now? Is Flash on other websites working? Is HTC Sense integrated? Are all other functions working?
Am I right that I don't need a goldcard with a unbranded phone?
EDIT: Okay... At the moment I got a system update from HTC...
EDIT2: Puuh...Wi-Fi still working =D

MX Player and Vimeo Problems.

Hi xdaERS,
I've just got my Nexus 7 Wifi 16GB. It's my first Android device and all I can say is it's GREAT.
But I got 2 problem hope that you can help.
1. First, all of us know that Vimeo apps on android is suck. And all I want is watch Vimeo at HD. So, I go to Vimeo website with Chrome + desktop mode. In the past few days, I was able to play Vimeo in HD. But from yesterday to now, I cannot do it anymore. When I click in the play button, video frame change but it doesn't expand to full site and stuck there, no things else happens. Note that I still can play video in SD when access the site (in mobile mode) or in the app. This happens since I uninstall MXPLayer form my Nexus. So the question is what went wrong and how can I fix it ? Am I the only one cannot play HD on vimeo or anybody catch the same error ?
2. I downloaded MX Player 1.7.8 and Armv7 Neon code (the app required me to down this code). But this app doesn't work. It can play video in 30-40s then turn off (back to my app screen), no error appears. It sometimes turn off when I just go to setting menu. So what's wrong with my device ?
Up for helps.
Is there anyone can view HD video on Vimeo website (desktop mode) ?

[Q] Roku app update.

So Roku updated their remote app yesterday. They added to the "Play on Roku" feature to allow us to now play videos on the Roku like the iPhone. I have the option within the app to play pictures and video. But no pictures or video are listed.
I can go into gallery and share my pictures to Play on Roku. But none of my videos give me this option. Tried recorded videos and downloaded videos.
Anyone able to stream videos with the updated app? The support.roku.com site is pretty out of date, and figured I would get a quicker response here.
Edit: it seems they removed the share feature from the new 2.3 version. So you can only play videos via the app. Can someone who hasn't updated dump the 2.2 version for me? Apparently play on video was added in 2.2, but wasnt in the change log, so i had no idea the feature was there. You could share via a file manager or gallery. And I already have and use juice, but would rather use 1 app than 2 for the Roku.
Edit2: here you go. I found the 2.2 apk.

**fixed the link permissions. It is now public.
Edit3: talked for a bit to a live rep and sent them a bunch of screenshots. Hopefully will hear back from them today.

Any YouTube app that works?

Hi,
Ive tried the one from the amazon store and it fails to load any videos, sames goes with the xbmc youtube plugin. Not sure why (Rooted / UK)
Can anyone recommend me one that works?
Thanks
The one from XBMC has worked fine for me.
Both working here.
I had to uninstall the Google Play's YouTube app because of terrible stutter and server failure playback issues caused by an update.
Get the Youtube HD Mod on XDA in a thread,it plays fine and has a noticably MUCH smoother framerate..
And best of all...no rooting required!

This is a modded YouTube version with an option to download videos as mp4 and mp3. https://mega.co.nz/#!h8lARAKb!q770cVQonN8BrQHaZEBM_2ab6U6HX4R3MLXMpPNDb_M

Take note that all downloads from "mega" take up extra space in browser data for some stupid reason.
So,if you download a 1MB file,you will take an extra 1MB of precious space because of a file in the web browser's data folders.
And if you get a 271MB file from there,expect a 271MB increase in web browser data.
I suggest getting a barely used browser just for that site so you can delete the data whenever it gets excessively big.
appreciate it but i tried the above and it doesnt work too well with the AFTV controller. In fact cant get anything to play
