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...

Veeeevo
Hi hello guys!!
I recently download the vevo app 1.0 and as it's installed it asked me for an update and linked me in market were I can't found the newer version.
Actually the issue is, as I live in Europe and that vevo is exclusively for the US & canada costumer , I do not have access to it.
So I spent 2days looking a in web for this newer version of the vevo app but in vain.
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

YouTube problems

Hi why I cant play new video from YouTube player. I also install the last version from Market but I have the same problem. Someone have this problem?

Never had that problem, can you not play your youtube videos from browser as a temp fix until you can sort this problem also what rom are you on?
Not to be picky but this should really go in the general section not this develpment section

Very strange.

"Videos off the internet." What the heck does that mean? Be more specific. The YouTube app? Embedded flash videos? Streaming video played through a media player?

Streaming videos through media player YouTube works fine

I would do a nand back up and go to NB 39 and see if that fixes it... If it doesnt then i would do a full wipe if you didnt b4 you went to CM 7.0.0 and see if that does it... or you could run a logcat and pastebin it and see if a more advanced dev here or on IRC Chat could help you with the error code

Google Movies on Rooted Xoom

If you rent a movie though the market on your Rooted Moto Xoom and try to play it in the Google movies app you will get an error 49 (rooted device not allowed).
But if you go to www.youtube.com in the browser and login you can then play your movie.
I have done this process on my Rooted WIFI Xoom with 3.2. (Desktop UA string). Just thought I would share...
This will only work if you are connected to a network. So if you can tether or if you have a Verizon Xoom you should be good to go mobile. Or you can always use WIFI.

How many movies did you try it with?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

one so far I wanted to put it on here so others can try... I will try a few more movies this week.

Yeah nice tip.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

Wait- so after logging into you YouTube you jump back into your Google Movies app and it works or.......?
Do you watch the movies on YouTube using the browser?

Watch movies on YouTube though the browser. Could of been more clear.

how smooth is the video? I kinda wish you could watch them offline but at least we can watch them

I only rented a SD movie in my first test I will try an HD soon the SD was very smooth.

Has anyone else tried this yet? What are your results?

just tried on my wifi xoom 3.1 with unlocked bootloader using the Bourne ultimatum (favorite movie) and it worked perfectly without a hitch.
this workaround will be useful until someone can figure out how to watch them in the movies app.

hmm... maybe if you did you tube sees the screen size in the browser and limits to 480...

im a newbie, so I apologize for the hand holding but can you please explain exactly how to view a Google video through the YouTube browser? I ordered a movie on Google videos and signed into YouTube, but where do I go from there? Thanks

if you type in"about:debug" (without quotes) in the browsers address bar you will get more settings. go to settings>debug>uastring and change it to desktop. then reload youtube and on the homepage there should be something like "don't forget to watch your movie" and that's it.

worked flawlessly, thank you

[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
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium

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.
