Need help! How to open youtube links in youtube app?

How can a youtube link displayed in the browser be opened via the native youtube application, instead of the HTC flash player, wich is much more blurry and has lower resolution than the regular app?
I didn't read throgh the whole forum, but I tried to ask on other sites, but didn't get response.
Please help!

Go to settings --> apps
Find HTC flash and clear the default settings for it. Then next time you open a link it should ask for your choice of app.
All guesswork, but seems the only way to do it.

HTC Flash Player has no defaults to it. Clear defaults button is gray.
The same goes with HTC Streaming Media.
What are you talkking about, cymru?

Flash / YouTube integration...

Love the phone, but that's off topic, long story short the only thing that REALLY bugs me is the poor way flash was integrated, or rather YouTube. I don't understand why it doesn't show the thumbnail in the browser and then take you to the YouTube player app when you click it like every other Android phone I've used. Is there a way to set it to do this?
I've also noticed that when I browse to a story in Newsrob (Google reader app) that has a YouTube video in it, it opens the browser and says some error message about (like it's expecting to be able to use the browser to show a video thumbnail that will take me to the YouTube app to play.)
Is there a way to fix this? The phone has the YouTube app, and the same browser as the Nexus One for example, so I imagine it's more of a disconnect somewhere and not something that would have to be in 2.2 or another update.
Any suggestions?

Mine opens the youtube app when I select a video in the browser on you tube...i did flash the latest firmware,don't know if its something in there.
You could try enabling plugins in the browser settings....just an idea.

plugins are enabled, but still the issue. is there a way to install flash light or htc's flash player (from the slide for example) on this phone?

Flash lite should come installed by default IIRC, I can't replicate your problem on my phone (GS Korean version), but perhaps it's the site.
First, check your flash:
http://www.whatismyflash.com/
If that tells you you have flash then you have flash and it's enabled. I'm running 9.1.122
If that works, then, check this page:
http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/16/modded-game-gear-becomes-portable-home-for-n64-video/
(just the first youtube video I saw from my favorite gadget site) It shows me a thumbnail preview and loads right up when I click the play button from my SGS. If this works for you then perhaps it's not the phone's problem. Let me know and I'll check my settings, I can't imagine this is a flash lite issue since I think I have the same version of flash lite as the rest of the world. I hope you can replicate the thumbnail and video experience.

I meant to bring up that not all videos have thumbnails, so it'd be important that you had the video(s) in question checked against something with full flash. I probably haven't helped much, but at least you'll be able to know what version of flash you are running...if nothing else.

The steps worked and I was able to see the video thumbnail and it linked to YouTube... I guess my problem is with NewsRob and just from being used to the HTC Flash on the myTouch Slide.

When I go to the what is my flash link it just tells me I have no flash, or it is disabled.
Any idea how I get flash lite until 2.2 drops?

I'd like to do that as well. Is there a port of it from the Slide or another HTC device?

Open your internet. Click on "more" -> "settings" -> "enable JavaScript" & "enable plug-ins"
go back to http://www.whatismyflash.com/ and check to make sure you have flash enabled.

cant play videos in stock players

When selected it only darkens the screen...but nothing
Plays fine on mobo player.
Tried recording and playing, but get the same issue. I can open and play it on the movie editor app..
So much for being anxious about the damn update

Are you updated to 3.2 ? Sounds like some people had problems with the 3.2...

Nego_0, it works UNTIL you restart your TF. Once you restart, it is back to needing to apply your fix again. Again, it is fine until you restart. Try it.
The problem seems to be when it needs to load the "complete action using" screen for the user to choose the program, the screen does not show up. If you apply the fix Nego_0 is suggesting it will work. The you can choose the default player such as Moboplayer and then it will always load through Moboplayer as you select your file even after restarting. This bug is reported and members are actively looking for a solution. For now the work around seems to be choose a default player.

I was reading a lot of TF users about this bug after the 3.2 update, I have a WW version and just updated to 3.2 a few hours ago, hoping my TF will not show this kind of bug, BUT to my dismay I am now one of those experiencing videos not playing in the gallery, I just have to dismount from the dock and rotate my TF everytime I boot up from now on or have to choose another player as a default to by-pass this issue. But I was wondering why others did not experience this bug. I updated mine attached to the dock. I am just wondering those who did not experience this video bug maybe they updated to 3.2 without the dock. If anyone who doesnt have this video bug can please confirm if you updated to 3.2 attached to the dock or not. Thanks.

This is not a TF specific bug. The issue also occurs in the XOOM version of 3.2.
If you select a default video, image, browser, etc app you will not experience this bug since there is no need to ask you which application to use to complete the task. This is why some people see the bug and some people do not, and why it seems to only happen with certain types of files.

Crackle update fixes A500

Seems like the latest Crackle update has resolved issues with the A500 not being able to display video. I have been waiting on this for a while. (sorry if this has already been reported)

Nice ive been waiting on this...i searched but cannot find the new app, nor the update. Care to share?

Since it is a free app, I'm assuming it is ok to share it here.
Here it is...
Crackle
However, I only get audio, no video.
Running Taboonay 2.2

Anybody getting video?

nope...

No video or sound for me, just black screnn.
I downloaded straight off the market.
Running taboonay 2.2 w/ richards 3.7.

Works but finicky on startup
Im running market version of crackle on stock 3.2.
Its kind of quirky.....if you open the app and choose your movie or show, you will then get a split screen. black screen with blue swirling circle at top and movie info at bottom.......when you see this just hit the home button to exit out of the app.
Then reopen the crackle app and wait a few seconds and the movie will start.
Tap on the movie to see the full screen button at lower right.
Works every time on my machine.

Changes in Update 3.2

Hey guys,
So I recieved the new 3.2 update today on my US Wifi Galaxy Tab 10.1 and there's a few changes that I have already noticed:
1. Samsumg removed the bouncy effect (similar to the one the was in Apple devices) that was in the browser, settings menu, Android Market, and anything that scrolled and has replaced the effect with the normal Android effect of a blue highlight that gets bigger as you try to scroll more at the end of the page (Possibly has to do with Samsung vs. Apple court case?)
2. Now when you're watching a video on youtbe and using full screen the bottom bar is fully gone and there isn't that random line that was there before !
3. The menu button looks a bit different in the Android Market and Youtube app, almost bolded or popped out (no new Android market btw. It's the same old one so we still don't have access to the music store from the Android Market).
4. Now when you click on a contact icon, when the list of all possible things of contacting them (Google Voice, Google Maps for directions, Gmail, Twitter, etc) shows up entirely and you don't have to scroll left and right).
5. QuickOffice HD seems to have been updated (but not to the newest 5.0 version that is on the Android Market). The icon has also changed and now it says "Pro" and "HD" on it (which is what the Android Market version icon is like)
6. Browser seems a bit faster but I'm not sure about that. And the tablet in general feels overall faster.
Anything else that you guys have noticed? (Besides the button that changes app screen sizes that normally comes with 3.2)

Aboutebug settings changes now seems to stick.

all share is available.

Web browser seems alot snappier. App drawer and pages scroll smoother aswell.

Good morning all!
I'm glad that you got the update on your Tabs. Can I ask you what the better if I fill up its batteries and then update it, or if I plug it in and until filling up I'm updating? Did you notice any problems while updating? Is this update deleted anything from your device? Or everything stayed the same?

There's a little icon next to the clock to turn an app into full screen

This update was for the WIFI version only right?

Allshare is present now

does the screen shout button function can be changed? , like in galaxy tab 7.7 its function can be changed and also the mini apps can be edited or even removed in the 7.7 ?

how is there no updated market YET??

The browser definitely is faster.

Has anyone had issues with home screen auto rotate lag? I updated to 3.2 and it now takes 2 - 3 seconds to rotate. With 3.1 it was almost instantaneous. I also tried the widespread fix by long pressing the home screen and choosing a section other than add widget with no results. This is very frustrating.

Yes, it is especially noticeable when you turn your tab 180 degrees in one motion. ( top becomes bottom)

OK, so I decided to change my wallpaper from a static image to a live wallpaper and the rotation improved immensely. That is so counter-intuitive, but see if you can re-create it.

The Market update comes with Android 3.2.1.

I just noticed that Swipe is present after 3.2 update. Was it present before 3.2?

Yes. It was present in the Touchwiz 3.1 update

Dice player compatibility, anyone? 3.2 wifi user reported diceplayer broke in this ver. I'm on 3.2 3g and it fixed video playback with diceplayer. I was having issues with 3.1 previously.

Id like to add.
Previously on 3.1, 180 degrees rotate will make a 90 + 90 rotation
With 3.2,it fades out and inverts the screen, and fades back in.
Hope this information is useful.

Agreed with all of the above.
However, I get a lot of gapps Force Closes. Can anyone suggest anything besides a full wipe?
