Rockplayer, anyone having issues?

I was trying to play a MKV file that was 480p and all i got was continuous pixelation and lag. Does this phone not support 480p or does the player not support it?

Where can I download this, it doesn't show up in the market and the website points me to the market...
Sorry to be off topic, but that reminded me.

Looks like they just put a new version in the market. Works fine for me now that I finally found it.
Have you tried the new version?

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...

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

Hmm.
I've got it too sometimes. If I turn HQ off it works.
Very strange.

Turning off the HQ only works on the mobile web version of YouTube.

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?

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.

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.

Does the video you tried to watch support 1440p? Search for "2k demo video" or something and see if 1440p is available when you watch one of those.

I did not do anything special it just played search 4k video test you will find a couple great test videos.

I tried multiple 4k and 2k videos and didn't work. Im on firekat custom rom. Not sure if that matters

There's a certain process to follow. Look for it in apps and themes. It's posted there.

I got it fixed. All i did was install the app and clear the data and it started working. Nothing extra. Nice jump in quality since i was only able to see videos in 720p before.

Should be by now. It wasn't when the OP was made. I hade it before apk mirror too.
However the OP was to inform people they did not need to do the build prop edit anymore to get the 2k viewing.

New app updated from Google Play worked for me. But it wont work right off the bat. You have to force close app, go to the app settings and clear cache and data. Restarted YouTube and voila! Haven't had 1440p enabled in quite a bit

Anyone Know how to keep video quality at the highest? seems to change between videos. Nothing is settings.

Depends on the resolution the video was uploaded with. Some videos are low resolution, some are high. So you have to check each one. YouTube also streams in a lower resolution to get the video to the viewer quicker. Not everyone has fast enough Internet to stream 4k videos without buffering issues.
