Searching YouTube on android is a bummer - Vibrant General

is it me or it is it that youtube on android doesn't find the same videos as it does on my computer. For example like when you search for a certain music video on YouTube on the computer the official music videos would come up there but on android you can't find those videos..

That's happens for a reason. They do that so you buy the song. Because you have data everywhere, you can listen to free music every where. But the android app doesn't let you.
I think (remember I said think) that the m.youtube.com shows them, but I doubt it.

I read somewhere that music video aren't mobile view compatible. So since then I have never found a music video, a real one that is.

Either east people are going to download them

the video has to be mobile compatible. it doesnt mattter if its a music vid or some guy farting on a girls face, if its not mobile compatible it wont even show up.

Why not just press the search button, rather than go to the you tube app?

can do this amazing stuff. This mobile application is called Avotmv and you can download this aaplication at http://www.avotmv.com it plays videos from you tube,google,dailymotion and myspace
the best news is that it's free and it will play on any phone windows mobile phone.My favorite part of about this application is that you don't have to have a specifc cell phone carrier.
Holy cow!!! this is the best thing that has happen to me after a long time. I love this application this is best video search application I have ever seen so far.
it works great on my windows WM phone. It plays videos without getting stuck and it's full screen what more can you ask for?

Youtube viewing on mobile

For example : http://www.youtube.com/results?sear...&search=Search&sa=X&oi=spell&resnum=0&spell=1
When viewing on computer, when searching songs etc, featured video will be on the top, most of the time will be official music video.
However searching on phone using the youtube application, there wont be a featured video and even we have the direct link to the official music video, it can't be played. It will say "The video is not available for mobile"
Any ideas to make youtube searching be the same as computer and able to view those video that wont be available on mobile?
Did you use the youtube player to search the video... ?
Or just the webservice..?
I use both youtube application and browser to search but both is the same, can't display the offical music video of any songs.
try using another app like jetvd, u can search youtube that way and it plays videos that the youtube app cant. and if u long hold on it, you can actually download the video as well

lol.
Sure, write the content provider a strongly worded letter than you don't care for their copyrights and wish to view things on your phone.
The reason is they have the rights to show the video on a computer only. Those rights don't transfer to mobile devices or devices hooked up to a TV, like the PS3, Wii, or Google TV.
@isiyou125: OMG Thanks, it work now!!
@iead1 : You're wrong, the jetvd apps make it able to play it on mobile!
No. I'm right.
The app you're using is a way to circumvent copyright protection. Officially, YouTube doesn't have the mobile rights to that video.
Yea correct. Anyway I don't care about it when I still able to watch those video "not available on mobile" on my mobile.

[Q] how to watch netflix movies on htc evo

Hi guys i have been trying to see movies in netflix and i can't. Is there anything out there that can make it possible for me to watch the movies on my evo.
Not yet. Netflix is worKing on an app. There was a dev forum about it but that was pretty much abandoned I think. Right now we just have to wait for a ruu to leak or until the official app its released.

Download swarm, get movies in avi format...works for me.
thank you. do you know any good app to watch full movies.
to open the avi format do i need another program or it will open once i download something.
I just use the stock playernow but I don't watch too many movies anymore on my phone. I did use the v player when it was free, the dev is charging now.
sorry to ask too much, but can you tell me how it works, because i just download it and it just say click on the add tab and i dont know what to do. thank you
Not sure what your talking about, what app are you using? What are you doing? Oh go to a torrent site, find what you want to download then click "download torrent" then you'll download a small file, drop down the notification click the link and swarm should pop up, hit that and the app will work its magic.
the one that you told me swarm but when i opened it says "no active torrents, click the add buttom above to add a torrent".
bro i went to 4share.com i put .avi just to download anything, and i download a video i did what you told me, i drop the notification click on the video and nothing happens it says cannot open the file. **** i guess movies it impossible for me on the cell. thank you.

watch youtube and multitask?

I cant seem to find a way to watch a youtube video and do other things on my tablet such as browse the web or open up another app. Ive tried the youtube app and the website but neither let me multitask and still play a video.
Is it possible to do so?

i don't believe so
while multi tasking on android; android freezes the app in RAM till you return to it
i believe the only android device that can truly multi task ie watching youtube and emails etc is the Sprint Kyocera but thats a phone

That's the closest thing you are going to get.
Dolphin browser mini lets you have a flash app play in a background tab. Not when you switch apps though.
Maybe this app will help?

Thanks for the link to Ghosttown..that's a great app. Only one little niggle with it though....
because it takes the video from youtube, it doesn't distinguish between the album versions and the live versions....it won't filter...so when you choose an album...you could get all kinds of versions of a tune, not necessarily the proper one from the album chosen.

youtube question

Is there a way I can get YouTube to run while I'm doing something else because sometimes I like to play songs and browse the net but once I leave the YouTube app the video stops playing is there a way to keep my vids going while doing something else?
Not that I know of but u can use an app called overskreen. Idk if you've seen it but its a floating browser and u can browse YouTube
