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?

The other day I was going at it with a friend of mine who ones an iPhone 4 (I got Evo 2.2). Youtube app let me down.
When you pause a video the downloading bar also pauses. It makes you think it also paused the download of the video to cache. His iPhone 4 showed the video pause but still downloading. He scored a victory .
After further review I noticed that video does continue downloading to cache while paused but the bar stops displaying the download. After you click the play button again one can see where the download is actually gone to in the bar.
I was wondering if this is only on my Evo of is it a bug of the app. Anyone else has this issue???

We all have this, its just the application. I personally think the YouTube application is trash. If you ever try to rewind then the app throws away all the cache of the video and makes you redownload it and the subscriptions feature is confusing and doesn't just show new unwatched videos like it should.
Using YouTube's mobile site is actually better, I hope some work will go into the YouTube app though.
Edit: I'm using CM6 8/24 nightly with the latest 8/17 gApps package.

Yeah the New Youtube app is junk.. I hate not being able to see certain channels by default, the TP2 youtube app was soo much better.
When My friend shows me his IPhone 4 youtube app, I say to him.. is your Optimized for HD? he was like ... umm.. should be..... The picture turned out amazing on my evo.. he was still trying to do HD...
Videos don't look as good thru the browser. Blame it on flash. The app displays the hq videos much better.

Mine never goes through flash when I go to the site. I hit the HQ button and it uses some streaming video player to actually play the video, not sure exactly what app, but its really bare bones. I get decent quality.
Yeah the YouTube player sucks. Wonder why there isnt a better YouTube player or more to choose from.

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.

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.
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!

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.

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
As the title states, do we have a way to get hardware acceleration on adobe flash. I hate staring at terrible framerates on HD YouTube via their website and stuttering along on other video streaming sites. This is a dual core device, my phone shouldn't be outperforming it.
agreed, I thought 3.1 honeycomb was supposed to include support for hardware accelerated flash. Sadly any flash video 720p or higher runs real slow on 3.1. Including amazon video on demand and YouTube....

So 3.1 is not the holy grail of bug fixes everyone here is making it out to be... well who'd have thought?
Youtube works fine on my device. Tested with Dark Knight trailer on official youtube app.
Youtube performance
Works great on my a500 using honeycomb Youtube app - works just as well via stock browser on the web site.
What browser are you using to try to play video? Does HD video play in the native youtube app but not in your browser?
i think youtube app plays html5 ,not flash video
We are talking about flash 720p in browser not YouTube app....

So, I'm not the only stupid guy who's having that ridicolous streaming video quality!
I was asking in the primee rom thread but everybody had ignored me, same thing in the acertabletforum.com thread, and in the facebook page to support the unlocked bootloader (where I was teased as an idiot).
Youtube has some pixellated video, both in the dedicated app and in the website.
Same issue for all other kind of streamed video.
What we have to wait? Is that a Tegra2 issue? My Galaxy S and my Iphone 4 have not this ridicolous video quality...So, who's the guilty? -.-
Google promised hardware acceleration with the 3.1 update...but it seems something gone wrong.

Iphone doesn't support Flash so either you're talking about HTML5 or you've just figured it out how to watch flash movies on iGear.

Maybe you're forgotting this...I was talking about every kind of streamed video, not only a flashplayer based video.
And, you'll know for sure, some Cydia tweaks and Puffin browser, let see flash video in an iOS device.
i just figured out if you use a rom with an updated kernel to 2.6.36.4....the last 4 being the key flash hardware acceleration works great. At least on 720p.
Hey guys I'm not sure if you've noticed but with the latest YouTube app update with the new ui, it seems the video quality is streaming in HD but at 720p. I can definitely tell just by watching a video, it's quite jaggy then reversing to the older app it's back to how it should be.
Does anyone else have this problem? I really like the new ui and it's features especially how you are scrolling around, click a video and when you finish and go back it's exactly where you were scrolling to. Unlike the old version where when you finish and go back it's suddenly way up on the list and you've lost where you're up to!

Well, you're not the only one. I love the new YouTube app in that you're able to search for new videos while the current video is playing, but the video (even fullscreen) looks like ****e!!..particularly on the Nexus 10 with such an awesome display resolution.
I don't know what the deal is, but you're not alone.

Considering we have 4K video on YouTube, this is a disgrace. We should be able to stream EVERY quality, not only standard, 720P or 1080P.
