change your user agent to ipad. then u will pages the same way ipad does. at least until flash is released for xoom. then u can view in desktop mode and get a full browsing experience.

Hi, when I watch HD videos on Youtube (version 4.0.8E), the video doesn't look HD at all. It's far from looking sharp. This is running off HSPA+ as well as WiFi. Those same videos on my Galaxy S 4G and also on my 22 inch monitor definitely look HD. Although, HD movies I've transferred onto my phone look HD. So it's definitely the Youtube app with the issue. Anyone else getting this?
hmmm. no issues here. version 4.0.8E
There is a YouTube apk floating around here that forces HD onto our phones instead of just HQ. Its in the Android Development and Hacking forum.
Or....click the first link that comes up when you Google YouTube HD xda

This! And also on wifi it should be HD. I'm also wondering if this is a tmo thing. I recall on my Sprint s3 it was HD even on 3g. It would buffer a lot though due to low bandwidth. Don't have it active now to double check.

On my Galaxy S3 YouTube has an option to preload videos over wifi. I can do this for either all subscribed channels or my watch it later list.
This feature doesn't seem to appear on the YouTube app on the NX7. Though I'm sure they banged on about it at the IO.
Anyone know how to enable it?

Hmm it was there in the settings. Did they update the Youtube app with 4.1.1 or something?
It's coming...

Hey guys,
Long time Android user, and a very proud one at that. I recently got my Nexus 7, and I'm extremely happy with it.
I was shocked to see that some "flash video" works in the default Chrome Browser? I have not installed Flash or any other add on that I can think of. But I'm pleasantly surprised to see that I can view and play some videos on website which I believe is using Flash.
For example:
http://ca.ign.com/articles/2012/08/03/new-super-mario-bros-2-review
http://www.comingsoon.net/
These sites work perfectly fine with my Nexus 7 Chrome Browser.
However, how come these don't work on my Chrome Browser for my Galaxy Nexus or my Sony Tablet?
The Chrome Browser is the same version 18.0.102523 on all 3 devices.
Can someone explain why is this the case?
Thank you all for your on going support in these forums.
Bill
This Question was resolved... see last post.
HTML5.
what he said
I figured as such, but is HTML5 video not enabled for Chrome Browser on the Galaxy Nexus?
Bill
I looked into this further, and I've confirmed that the Galaxy Nexus plays HTML5 videos fine on sites that specify it is HTML5 videos, but its weird that those sites above still don't work. Can those that own both a Nexus 7 and Galaxy Nexus confirm that these play on both devices?
Thanks All,
Bill
Codec support maybe if it might be opening the video directly from website

Hey Guys,
Thanks for your confirmations... I finally figured out what was causing the problem... although I feel this is a bug:
When you view a website with the "request desktop site" option checked (which I prefer),
the HTML5 video links are broken. It's not Flash, as I initially thought it was... its HTML5.
However, if you view the desktop website using the website's "View Full Site" link instead of using the Chrome Browsers "request desktop site" option, the HTML5 video links work!
Thanks Everyone.
Is there any possibility to get flash on chrome of nexus 7 in future?
Not in Chrome, but maybe on the stock Android browser.

I just installed the new firefox beta and the flash package. Had to tell the tablet to install apps not verified. No rooting req for flash.

That's a website bug most likely. When you hit "request desktop site" in chrome, chrome gets the desktop site, not a desktop redirect from mobile (which is how it should be). Those websites probably don't have HTML5 video on a desktop site. When you click their own "View Full Site" link, they still know you are on a mobile device, and still give you the HTML5 video. They should just give HTML5 to anyone without flash.
Hi,
Is there anyway to fix or improve de Web video player? Because the stock one really suck, once I get in full screen, all the button (Play/Pause/Go Forward or Backward) stops to work so yeah it is pretty much annoying.
Edit: I'm talking about video player in Chrome Browser
If you want some website to test out, http://youtube.com (Please don't tell me use youtube app as there is no app for other websites)
Thanks
Am I the only one having issue 0o :S ?

The standard Nexus 7 is not supplied with Flash. Yeah, I know Google decided not to include it because it is yesterday's technology! However it can easily be sideloaded. Just google it. Make sure you install. Version 11.1.115.11. There are problems with some of the other versions floating around.
Have you tried another player like "dice player" or "mx player"?

1. I wasn't talking about flash at all but the Web Video Player itself
If I download these apps, will it replace thw video player on Chrome?

You'll have your choice between the player you install (mx is a good one too) and stock.They won't "replace" stock though, it'll still be an option.
