The quality really depends on the video your viewing, in the general though quality isnt amazing. 2.1 should bring with it a better youtube app.

start the video go still then press menu click on more you will get the option watch in hi quality.....i dont make sense the way they made it but hell you will have to do that on each video lol

It's like that when you are on 3G because not everyone got a fast 3G connection. When you are on WIFI it will switch to HQ by default.

Vevo!

I don't know how many if you were as frustrated as me that on google phones you couldn't watch the real music videos on the youtube app but it's finally here! Vevo! Works great

I'm diggin it, sure beats using the browser. Hopefully it works through the firewall at work so I don't have to worry about 3G being up to speed at that time.
edit: bah the ads still suck though... now I'm hungry for a mcchicken

About stinkin' time.

Looks like the app was removed from Marketplace. Anyone know why?

it looked ok...

I hope can help me to get this app, your my chance to get this cool app
Thanx
ps: the link above is the v 1.0 I need the 1.0.4

[Q] HD on the Youtube app?

Hey. I'm new here Thought i'd see if you guys could answer a question for me.
I was wondering if anyone knew exactly what the resolution of videos playing in the nexus 10 youtube app are? I haven't actually got my nexus yet, but I imagine it's the same as my S3, where the player only has a "SD" and "HD" option.
Is the HD just equivilent to 720p? Or will it choose the highest possible resolution for the video? I'm asking this because watching youtube videos in 1080p would be really nice
Thanks!

I am curious too since it does not lt you select.

Pretty sure it's 720p on the app for HD.
I'll do a test when I get home later.

I've been wondering that too

Youtube app will render videos to Hd720p. If you want full 1080p you'll have to use the browser.

Thanks for the replies.
That's annoying Would be nice if google could update the app for tablets so we can view 1080p videos without having to use the browser.

Google should update the app and give you the option because the browser page is not good in my opinion slow laggy and hard to use with a touch screen.
Why make a Google product and then hinder it with low quality video stream. Honestly its one thing that annoys me with with his tablet how soft videos look from the YouTube app. It does not do this amazing tablet justice , lucky I have nice images to look at lol

Yup, 720p only.

Your right! I did not know that. Google does own youtube since 2005 from what I read.

isn't youtube owned by google?

Its not Google that needs to update, it's YouTube. Google isnt responsible for apps not made by them.
Youtube just needs to start jumping on the band wagon and start supporting higher res streaming.

If google says jump, youtube says how high. They are their subsidiary.

With the Nexus 10 and its supreme display resolution I guess we can expect an update to the YouTube app pretty soon. I expect a 1080p option.
Yes, 1600p would be nice but don't forget at this resolution/bitrate many people won't be able to stream it anymore, at least not in an acceptable time frame.

How many people are tethering often enough to worry about that? I have a first batch Nexus 10, and I've always just used it on Wi-Fi.

It was a sarcastic question hence the face. Thanks for joining in on the conversation.
Nexus 10 doesn't come with radio for data hence me asking as if his Nexus 10 did.
I hope this explanation clears things up for you so you aren't confused by sarcasm.

Yeah it would be nice if they updated the app, but I suppose 720p isn't too bad on a 10 inch screen anyway.
Youtube only supports up to 2048x1536 at the moment anyway. Hopfully 1600p youtube will come eventually

Youtube 720p looks surprisingly good on the N10 to me. If they add a 1080p option I definitely hope 720p is still selectable.

Well, let me answer with some numbers:
I have a really high quality video on my N10 (the Timescape Trailer), it's 1440p and 33.5 mbit/sec worth of data.
Even with high compression a 1600p video would be like 10-20 mbit/sec or around 40 mbit/sec in very high quality.

YouTube very choppy

Anyone else find that while playing YouTube videos it's a bit choppy? I tested multiple videos and they all seem to be very choppy.

Just checked mine. No problems here, att version, but I did notice watching a video of a movie trailer through the browser was choppy

No problem here on the open D802 version.

Only with HD enabled. Unfortunately. Alot of other users (german android-hilfe.de forum) also say that its choppy with HD enabled (D802).
Apparently, it was the same on previous LG Android phones.

Quad core, 2.3GHZ, 2GB RAM, and youtube plays choppy ? unbelievable...

Issue lies within the LG Software.

Does this happen on wifi too, or just on the celluar network? I have verizon and no issues so far.

Tmo here, no issues on 4g, LTE, or wi-fi.

Getting choppiness on HD here as well. I'm using the Youtube app. Does anyone know of any good third party Youtube apps?

Go search smarttube the only downside it doesn't bring up you subscription feed. I connected my YouTube account and add it to watch later and then go on smarttube and they have a section for YouTube watch later
The issue that I have is the quality of video isn't very good. Its not bad until you see text on the screen and its kinda pixelated. Smarttube looks better on HD or full HD. Then my YouTube app

Thanks for the recommendation, will check it out.
I can't believe the default Youtube app still has problems up till now. It's a Google app for goodness' sake!

I have also brought thus issue up in the Q&A forum before. The only solutions I have found so far is too uninstall updates of the YouTube app and use the old one instead, or use the mobile web version.

Gonna try this. When I click on the YouTube app icon it also takes a little bit to load it's the only app that does this. Sadly I spend a lot of time on YouTube lol

No lag for me on youtube vids at all so far, Bell version of LG G2, that being said i will keep an eye out for any oddities, since my youtube app just updated itself this morning.

No problem here. Have you tried uninstall and reinstall the app?

Camera slow mo

Ok so I was using the camera yesterday and decided to test the slow motion feature which looks awesome. The only thing wrong was that there was no sound during playback. Can anyone confirm this or test it?

Can you upload the video to YouTube and post a link to it?
Nexus ONE

Hi !
Before being a gardener, I was a cameraman and as far I remember, there was no sound in slow-mo shoots. In my experience, even in an video editoring software (sorry, maybe I speak English with my french thoughts), when you change a regular motion into a slow one the sound disappears because of the time expansion - then you can put it back and stretch it, etc.

Sure, did another one just now, simple ball falling! Quality isn't that great but still no sound

Hey man, thanks for the input! The reason I asked is because my lil bro has an icrap and he was showing off his slow motion so I decided to fiddle with the note to see what it could do. The end result is a better video shot but no audio. Iphone had a quicker framerate, so not as slow as the gn3 but it also had audio.

Tell your brother that's not "professional" to have both audio and video shooted in slow-mo at the same time !:laugh:

Haha, I know! Still looks cool tho. Need people to have a look and see of its available to have both together! Plus everything sounds so much funnier in slow motion!

I tried and I get no sound on slow motion videos. So it will make your brother and his ''phone'' treat you as a joke, you and your ennemy's device... for a looooong time !
Like we say in France : Courage !

I'm sure you "can" hack it to allow sound. Why would you want sound in slow mo though? It is choppy since its recorded in real time then slowed.

No Sound!?
