Need help! How to open youtube links in youtube app? - Hero, G2 Touch General

How can a youtube link displayed in the browser be opened via the native youtube application, instead of the HTC flash player, wich is much more blurry and has lower resolution than the regular app?
I didn't read throgh the whole forum, but I tried to ask on other sites, but didn't get response.
Please help!

Go to settings --> apps
Find HTC flash and clear the default settings for it. Then next time you open a link it should ask for your choice of app.
All guesswork, but seems the only way to do it.

HTC Flash Player has no defaults to it. Clear defaults button is gray.
The same goes with HTC Streaming Media.
What are you talkking about, cymru?

Youtube + Panel dont work

Hey Guys!
First i wanna say, great site
I got a problem with the youtube app and panel which i can download here. I installed the youtube app and the panel which came from this url.
The problem is, when i click on the youtube app it doesnt load, and when i use the youtube panel the screen turns white and nothing happens.
Have u guys got any ideas? Thnx in advance!
greets, Frank
Hi,
I don't have tried the panels, but i have tried a few different youtube apps for X1.
After installing these youtube cabs, even my WMV codecs which came shipped on my phone were currupted. The problem was, that the youtube cabs installed their own codecs and they have overwritten my original ones.
I don't know, if there existing a youtube app which is compatible to X1, but i recommend you don't use any youtube apps, until anyone gives you a link with functional app
I had to Hardreset my X1 to get the original codec of wmv on its place
i hope there is anyone who can post a functional youtube app link
best regards

You should've followed the link and actually read a bit in the youtube app thread instead of creating a new topic :>. Or use the search function of this forum. It works well, I know .
Sounds like you do not have an english winMobile 6 Rom?
You have to change the *.[numbercode].mui in the windows directory to your countries code to get the application working.
Codes and more infos in the youtube app thread. just take a look.
hmmm, right my windows mobile is not an english one...
As i had installed the app, there was no info like that, i think it was too early when i tried
thanks a lot, i will try it again; ofcourse reading instructions
Heh, i have the very same thing. I guess when the title says 'working youtube' i wont bother reading >5 pages just to confirm it really works.
I cant decide it is common logic or lazyness .
hehe ye thnx! It works now =) I just needed to change the filename.
Problem however, i cant see any movies through the app. After a few seconds i get the error: " Error: Cannot play this video ". But the video's work fine when i go to http://m.youtube.com.
Any comments? =)
Heh,
today I went to my favourite F1live website (I'm a real F1 fan)
And was really HAPPY to watch video right from the page with sound!
Damn

Heh, i thought i had it working too, however, same thing as you have. I can scroll, search and pictures show up and all. However, when i want to play a movie. It say's "Error: Cannot play this video".
God, this is driving me nuts.
Youtube with Opera Mobile only works on 50% of the vids', its very choppy too.
Youtube with KinomaPlay works, but its choppy when in landscape and you'll have to pay for the full version to have more then 10 search results.
Youtube with Coreplayer works, but its buggy and crashes ALOT.
Youtube with youtubeplay works, but its only low/med-quality and the interface is very simple and dull.
Man, it will never change
Until we'll have a full Flash support for WM,
not FlashLite 3!

Ive GOT It! BEEEM its nice but how to...

Its fast its nice but how can I do following:
Install programs only on sd card for saving internal memory?
stop the sound of fotocam by shooting a foto?
enable led on recording videos?
thx
To Put the Apps on the SD Card you must Root your Nexus.
To stop the sound of the Camera you can disable the sound in your settings by pressing menu.
Enable the LED during recording may require root as well. I think thats the only way, possibly with Nexus Torch. Not sure though.

To stop the shutter noise just place your phone on silent or vibrate
ok to set on vibrate is a way but i would like to unenable it...
two more issues, how can i use adove flash f.e. i would like to view the desktop youtube site version but it wont work... is there a way like its shown in some presetation videos?
is there any software out for sharing the connection (wlan or 3g) with a windwos computer, my nexus one would became a wlanstick?
I've heard Camera FX on the market has the ability to turn off the sound. Not sure, but someone mentioned that.
Dolphin browser will allow you to set yourself as a "desktop" which should make all website's show up as they normally would on a computer, but I don't know if youtube would work like this. It might require flash update that we will get shortly.
Eitherway, your youtube thing will be fixed soon.

You could program your own widget, or find one that suits your needs better in the market. There isn't an easy way to change them otherwise.

YouTube links to open YouTube app..?

Thinking of getting the HD2 for T-Mobile. I had the unlocked GSM version in the past and put custom ROM's on it. I played with the HD2 at my local T-Mobile store the other day and I noticed that if you get a link sent to you for a youtube link, the opera will not re-direct it to the youtube app like it did in my custom ROM. In short, is there a way to make this happen on the stock T-Mobile ROM? Reg edit or something? I get youtube links sent to me all the time and as of now, opera just tells me that I'm missing something to play it rather than re-direct to the youtube app. I know that IE will do it but I don't use IE as my default browser. It's slower and no pinch & zoom.

what was your cooked ROM that did this?
Zenkinz'S rom DOES it. His ROM's are very good with some minor adjusting. I would normally slap his ROM onto a t-mobile HD2 but I wanted to give the t-mobile ROM a chance. Here is the link to his ROM. His is the ONLY one that does this properly.

Again, you can use opera and click on any youtube link video and it will launch the youtube app to play it. Very nice!
Can anyone figure this out? Any chefs know the recipe?

Why not ask zenkinz how it's done? I doubt it comes under the heading of national security, so he may tell you
Personally, I use Opera 10 (no pinch-to-zoom, but no text reflow either). Once plugins are enabled you can watch youtube vids in the browser, or click the fullscreen button. It's just as good as the app for viewing.
I use m.youtube, which when tap "watch video" opens htc youtube app
curious if there's a solution to this too
The only reason i ask is because if im browsing around Facebook and someone posts a youtube link, clicking it goes to Youtube.com in Opera where flash doesnt work.
So having a way to click a youtube link and for the Youtube app to open up would be useful

I notice that some ROMS and even stock ROMS will do it and some will not. I tried it on 3 different stock T-Mobile HD2's and none loaded the youtube app from the opera browser. Even if it was from m.youtube.com.

Does opera 10 replace the built in opera 9.7 on the HD2? Or can you use both.
I guess no one has found a solution?
Zenkin's rom does open it in the Youtube app, but it doesn't seem to open the same quality video as it would if you tried it directly via the app itself.
Kumar's rom doesn't have this function, the Touch Xtream does. However the Kumar rom runs circles around the Touch rom regarding both speed and stability. I would try Zenkin's rom, but it's running the older version of WM with the buttons x button on the top. Anyone know of a rom that is both fast, stable, on WM 25559 and does youtube links???
How about if you do not want to change the rom on phone ? can you get a direct link to youtube to pull up the app instead of the website ? that would be ideal. I currently am using a US tmobile hd2. its kind of annoying to not be able to watch videos that were texted to me. any help would be greatly appreciated !
After asking this question in a number of times, I figured it out to a point.
Make this change to the registry. It's the same tweak for the BBC iPlayer.
HLKM/Software/Opera/Prefs/User Prefs/Custom User-Agent
Change from HTC_HD2_T8585 Opera/9.7 (Windows NT 5.1; U; en) to HTC_Touch_HD_T8282
Embedded links on webpages such as Engadget still don't show. Links do show up on google and will play from the app. So not a complete fix, but better then nothing for now.

Flash / YouTube integration...

Love the phone, but that's off topic, long story short the only thing that REALLY bugs me is the poor way flash was integrated, or rather YouTube. I don't understand why it doesn't show the thumbnail in the browser and then take you to the YouTube player app when you click it like every other Android phone I've used. Is there a way to set it to do this?
I've also noticed that when I browse to a story in Newsrob (Google reader app) that has a YouTube video in it, it opens the browser and says some error message about (like it's expecting to be able to use the browser to show a video thumbnail that will take me to the YouTube app to play.)
Is there a way to fix this? The phone has the YouTube app, and the same browser as the Nexus One for example, so I imagine it's more of a disconnect somewhere and not something that would have to be in 2.2 or another update.
Any suggestions?

Flash lite should come installed by default IIRC, I can't replicate your problem on my phone (GS Korean version), but perhaps it's the site.
First, check your flash:
http://www.whatismyflash.com/
If that tells you you have flash then you have flash and it's enabled. I'm running 9.1.122
If that works, then, check this page:
http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/16/modded-game-gear-becomes-portable-home-for-n64-video/
(just the first youtube video I saw from my favorite gadget site) It shows me a thumbnail preview and loads right up when I click the play button from my SGS. If this works for you then perhaps it's not the phone's problem. Let me know and I'll check my settings, I can't imagine this is a flash lite issue since I think I have the same version of flash lite as the rest of the world. I hope you can replicate the thumbnail and video experience.
I meant to bring up that not all videos have thumbnails, so it'd be important that you had the video(s) in question checked against something with full flash. I probably haven't helped much, but at least you'll be able to know what version of flash you are running...if nothing else.
The steps worked and I was able to see the video thumbnail and it linked to YouTube... I guess my problem is with NewsRob and just from being used to the HTC Flash on the myTouch Slide.
When I go to the what is my flash link it just tells me I have no flash, or it is disabled.
Any idea how I get flash lite until 2.2 drops?

I'd like to do that as well. Is there a port of it from the Slide or another HTC device?

Open your internet. Click on "more" -> "settings" -> "enable JavaScript" & "enable plug-ins"
go back to http://www.whatismyflash.com/ and check to make sure you have flash enabled.

[Q] Vegacomb dim when more browsers or video players installed

Hi guys,
I have a problem running Vegacomb 3.2 Build 9n Update3. When I have multiple video players installed, when I press on a video (either in gallery or OI file explorer), I do not get list of installed apps to choose from, but the screen is just dimmed (until I press back). Same when I installed Dolphin browser and clicked on link. With one browser/video player this doesn't happen. I was looking if there can be something cleared (like defaults) but couldnt find anything.
Thanks
