Rooted 3.1. The YouTube app is taking hell lot of time to load.its buffering ....and keeps on buffering. Any other way to watch YouTube? Market search for other apps for honeycomb returned nothing. Will the Samsung app for the gamester tab 10.1 work on our Ionia?

The browser?
Yeah, the browser works fine here. Even with the HD streams. Every once in a while I find a vid where Youtube blocks "mobile" devices... I just open those up in Firefox Beta with a "Desktop Firefox" UserAgent (you have to install the addon "phony").

So I noticed now that youtube mobile now opens videos directly in the browser. Good idea, but buggy. It wont let the video go fullscreen in landscape (play controls and status bar wont go away)
Is there a way to make it so it will use the actual youtube app for videos again, not this in-browser player that force closes and, well, sucks?

Go to settings, manage applications and then go to browser and youtube and clear defaults...next time you go to a youtube video from within your browser, be sure to choose youtube app when the option comes up and check the default box.
There are no defaults set. It just opens it via browser, not the app how I would like

I cant watch youtube videos anymore. When i click on a youtube video, it just shows what looks like a black and white film clip with the words loading video...
I use skyfire and yes it's set to android and default in the browser settings.
I have flash player 11 installed. I can watch the youtube video if I download it ans play it with mobo player or mx video player
Ant Ideas?

yeah, the youtube app works great but have some inconvenient like we cannot change the volume
Can't you just change the volume normally? I don't even have to exit the app. Seems to work for me. Anyways the youtube app works well, video quality is great.
had this working on 4.1.1 fine. updated to 4.1.2 and now after countless combos of firefox and flash player versions, playing flash crashes the firefox browser. AAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHH! can anyone help??
Did you try AOSP browser? I am using CM 10 4.1.2 rom and latest flash is working flawlessly on both Firefox and AOSP browser.

works fine with marathon browser, but i use ff
You can try to sideload older version of flash and see if you face same issue.
And are you using Firefox Beta or just Firefox? Firefox beta seems to work better on android.
But my recommendation would be to use AOSP Browser, its the best browser for android imo better than firefox.

Yes I use Youtube app though its very good. If I try playing any video on youtube in firefox beta it opens it in the youtube app itself.

right!! but if in firefox if you request a "desktop version of site" then try to play the video in the browser....it crashes. can you try a test of doing that way for me ?? thanks
I tried using the desktop site the full screen worked fine. Only thing I noticed is the buttons like play, resume, full screen appeared blurred , not good. But full screen played fine, no crashes.
I have played videos on other web sites and they also play fine on full screen.
Why you are not using youtube app for watching videos?

not "fullscreen" in firefox in the options you check "request desktop site" after you load www.youtube.com, then try to play a video
I understood what you said before and I did check request desktop site too works fine for me.

Thanks!! I gave up..... flashed CM10 Kang 4.1.2................ now everything works fine!
Just as a question, did you use firefox beta or the normal firefox? On 4.1.1 I had to use firefox beta to make flash work fine, but on 4.1.2 firefox beta flash did only work in NOT Fullscreen mode and trying to use fullscreen made flash crash. Funny thing is, on 4.1.1 the same happened to the normal Firefox. But now on 4.1.2 I use the normal Firefox browser (nfot the beta) and the latest flash version from the archives and it works very goood, also in fullscreen mode no crashes. Hope I could help some people looking into this topic.
As title, whenever i open a youtube link in facebook it will not give me the option to open with the youtube app, just my browsers firefox, dolphin, interent.
I've updated youtube to latest version.
Anyone else have this issue? fix?

I have mine show Chrome, Internet and Youtube, just fine. Maybe try uninstalling Firefox and Dolphin? Are you sure the links you are clicking are properly formatted youtube links? Sometimes strange or forwarded links are not recognized.
Maybe you have too many apps that can play the video and need to scroll down the list since its sorted alphabetically
Go into application manager and clear default on each one

I have the same issue! I have tube mate and it gives me the option to open with that and the browsers I have installed, but not YouTube! And I have no defaults on any of the apps offered or YouTube. Its weird why it won't give me the option! But I did find that if I open it in Firefox, when I click play in the browser, it gives me the option to open in YouTube. A long way to get there!
