Thats what htc said....
Dont we already have a hq player on our nexus? Plz clarify
Nexus One can show YouTube in HQ, but you have to switch it to play that way.
There is a hack on xda you can try that lets HQ work without messing with anything.
Yea i read it clearer now....
Ah, my nexus one still eats evo for breakfast tho
They might taking about 720p since the evo has hdmi out.

"One painful omission is YouTube HQ, which Sprint made such a big deal about when they introduced the EVO. On the Epic, the YouTube app is unwatchable; it's a hideous mush of blocky compression. I don't understand why Sprint didn't give the Epic the same sharp YouTube video quality that the EVO has."
Port please?

You can click menu and watch in high quality, problem solved.

FYI: that android link goes to the post with a direct download to an .apk file that replaces your current youtube with the requested youtube hq. you still need to select high quality but it comes in the form of a button directly on the screen rather than going into the menu. worked like a champ and worth the quick fix.
Thank you for the YoutubeHD link! I was missing this version from Froyo! Much easier for the button to be on screen rather than hidden in the menu.
Thanks for the link!

Great, I switched to the youtube HQ app and now playback stutters in HQ mode. The old app played HQ much smoother. I was only looking to have the HQ setting be permanent, but I'd rather deal with having to set it manually than the crap I'm getting now
edit: nm, seems to have fixed itself! That always happens after I ask in public how to fix something..
double edit: or rather, it seems to be one video in particular that plays stuttery.. oh well, whatever..
Does this app work for a non-rooted Epic?

Yea, I can confirm that it works on my non-rooted epic.
I wanted to see if anyone has been able to have by default high res youtube playback on 3g connection. I know that the youtube app will play higher resolution over wifi but on my old htc devices I was able to stream high definition over 3g.
I'm also intersted in this.

any other word on this. Will there have to be ann app for it. It sux having to watch the awful quality.
this reminds me of the my old iPhone3g,,,, it sucks having to watch youtube in that kind of resolution,,, and with the phone not supporting flash yet... there is no other option
Bump again for this topic. I'm surprised it's not talked about more.
I just came from a Samsung Captivate and it has an option to run video in HD. It took a little longer to load the film, but was well worth it!

Yes, just people with HTC devices are able to watch HQ videos...
That sucks! I would have just gotten the HTC Surround if it didn't look so cheap and have such bad reviews.
We can only hope that either MS or a developer can come up with some software to fix this... as I wouldn't see this as being a hardware issue.
Buy a "RealTube" app, works fine on any handset.
I was at the best buy store today and looked at the nexus s and I must saw im very impressed. Anyhow the guy in the store was talking about it having youtube 2.0 and being able to edit videos is this true?

Youtube app is exactly the same as on my Evo as far as I can tell.
Do you see issue with audio sync when playing youtube video?
So I went to watch my favourite music video on YouTube (Earl by Earl Sweatshirt, if you're interested xD). Anyways when I went to load it in landscape mode, the audio would play but the video would not move. So I turned off HQ, and it started working great! Albeit, the quality was greatly dampered. I am on Froyo using Cyanogenmod 6, the latest release and I am using the latest release of the YouTube client from the market.

nope, the HQ videos uploaded since Jan or Feb 2011 have a higher resolution compared to earlier ones (640x360 as compared to 480x360),so they just dont play.the 320x240 vids play as usual,so in a way HQ doesnt exist anymore for our phones,unless you r watching an older upload.
This just sucks,if not HQ atleast there should be resize/fit to screen options in the player so the video doesnt get tinier on the already limited space.
Thanks for the clarification.
I was wondering why some HQ vids work fine on my magic but most of the time I have the same prob with Smokexz heh.
I've noticed while running Gingeryoshi 1.1, using the Stock Browser allows you to watch HQ Videos. But there is a slight delay from the press of play, to the actual playback.
Sorry for the bump of this old thread, but is there really no recent rom that allows for the play of HQ videos? Does anyone know if installing an old apk of the youtube app allows it?

yea i think COS-DS gingerbread lets you, pretty sure. I love Earl Sweatshirt, best 17 year old rapper in the world. And lets not forget Tyler the Creator.
strange did u try updating flash
a hard reset might fix it
There is no flash for G1 though...
so i just did a pretty badass lagtest of the S2, pulled up 20 tabs, and played a video on all 20 tabs. not even the slightest hiccup, pinchzooming as smooth as a picture, no lag whatso ever, as smooth as going to google.com
had some stuff running in the background too, i didnt set up for this video at all.. original out of box stock rom.. totally unstoppable!
check out the video by yours truely~
Use the movie code from the YouTube URL in your browser. For example, for: http://youtube.com/watch?v=iox1hzW_ODE use: [youtube]iox1hzW_ODE[/youtube_] -- without the _
EDIT: Hahahha, funny test!
One Piece FTW!

This guy literally eats flash for its breakfast and probably some for dinner too.

I would not say that at all. It still cant play bbc HD, or bbc standard def flash without skipping.
Not impressed.

To be fair that's probably more to do with BBC's shoddy application than it is flash or the phone. How else do you explain that other flash streaming works perfectly?
Yea , and it cant run crysis :s

I know what you mean. The beeb uses some bull**** which meant that the iplayer was not available to us Linux users for a long time even though we have flash capable browsers that played everything else.
Has anyone tried watching a 1080p flash video from the browser? Was it smooth or choppy?
Smooth as butter. I watched a ton of 1080p videos off YouTube and megavideo.

Buddy u keep trying to hold this over the sgs2 head. If every flash based site/video runs perfectly, it has to be something with BBC right? Don't b a b.

those were ALL 1080p.
loljk, idk maybe i should make a video of how many 1080p videos i can get and itll still be smooth.. wonder how many i would get oo
i wanna make a post or something where its just a whole page of embedded videos, so i dont have to do tabs, anyone got a forum they dont mind spamming with videos? ill make a cool video out of it!
That's because the ****heads at the BBC knows they'll be getting money from us every year regardless of the **** they produce. The TV licensing scheme is pure bull****, they should work for their keep like every other station.
@Killer Bee "Has anyone tried watching a 1080p flash video from the browser? Was it smooth or choppy?"
Very VERY SMOOTH. This was one of the first things I did when I got my first look at CPW.
I used to download 720p HD Videos from Tubemate for my SGS.
Now I don't need to download anymore. 1080p HD videos streaming straight from my SGS II >

are you watching them in desktop mode? were watching them from the webbrowser, not the app, and having desktop mode on, then click 1080p right where you normally see it on the website from your computer
