Flash videos

Anyone having trouble watching youtube videos or flash videos in browser? Mines keeps crashing when I try to watch a video in browser and in youtube app

You didn't happen to download the flash player from the market did you? If so there is another thread in this forum that has a link to the proper APK that is optimized for the tegra 2.

LOL.
And to be OT, flash videos are amazing and crystal clear at this resolution.

I agree, it even runs HD streaming perfectly on Amazon.com prime service.
Netflix streaming does not work, the webpage reports that 'its not compatible with your browser' seems stupid, but oh well.. now i have an amazon prime account!
Wish this thing would play mkv's. thats a big issue.

Netflix uses Silverlight bro. You wont be able to view any SL content until it's put on on the market like Flash player is. But it will never be put up so no need to worry about it

you can view Amazon Prime on your Atrix? I tried but the Watch now Link did not do anything.

New YouTube app with 720p support!

UPDATE: Please close this thread, theos0o has created a modded youtube apk that allows playing HD with any DPI! Get it here
-----------------------------------------------
http://www.engadget.com/2012/03/02/youtube-android-app-update-brings-hd-video-streaming-to-capable/
Need!
I went to Galaxy Note forums, they dumped the apk that allowed them to do that. Unfortunately, it's the same 2.4.4 YouTube, and I didn't notice any difference. No HQ option, only HD (how the hell is 480p "HD", I will never know).
So I'm assuming there's a screen rez or phone model number check that doesn't allow 720p streaming in the app.
I'm hoping our brilliant devs can come up with a tweak to allow for HD streaming on SGSII.
P.S: if you think there's no difference between 480p and 720p on SGSII screen - oh boy, have you been missing out, son.
P.P.S: I'm not an idiot. Before you down-vote the thread, actually get off your lazy ass and see the difference between 480p and 720p video on SGS2.
UPDATE: If you're running Youtube app v2.4.4 (GB) or 3.x (ICS), set your DPI in build.prop to 182 and you'll have 720p video in youtube =)
Calling on devs to make a hack for the app to make it always think you're running high-dpi, without the need to change it there.. That'd be awesome!

Do you feel that there is a perceivable difference between 800/854*480 and 1280/720 on our S2?

Yes, there is a very, very significant difference.
Watch any of the Starcraft II commentaries in 480p then try it in 720p. You'll just how much better it is.
I think it has to do with subpixels, pixels on samoled just don't traslate the same as on a regular lcd screen, I think. Whatever the reason, there's a huge difference.

Im on 182dpi rom and it seems that my youtube videos are in 720p... Tried in browser 480p and it is much more pixelated than hd option in youtube app... In the app the hd option is awesome...

I just set 182 DPI in build.prop and I got HD option!! Yay!! Looks awesome.
If only someone would hack it into always allowing for HD video, without the need to run high DPI settings..

Im on vertrema 4.8... I do it with dpi changer from market... Sometimes is necessary to wipe market settings to make it recognise the changed dpi...

The difference probably has more to do with the higher bitrate and less compression that youtube applies to 720p videos compared to 480p ones than with the resolution, since a widescreen 480p video at 852x480 is already larger than the dimensions of the SGS2 screen. The SGS2 has a normal RGB subpixel layout and even if it did have a pentile matrix or anything else, the picture would still get sent to the screen in its nominal resolution of 800x480.
That said, I can certainly believe that a 720p version would look better and is worth trying.

Yeah, I'm not entirely certain why 720p looks better than 480p, maybe because the down-sampling that youtube makes is worse than when the video is down-sampled by SGSII on-the-fly. Better algorithms, perhaps.
Whatever the case, I'm happy now =) I just hope someone hacks the app so that it reports high-DPI even when build.prop has 240 or whatever.

I Update the YouTube APP and don't play videos in HD, only on HQ, the SGSII doesn't support HD?

@theos0o, I have been using your Modded Youtube 3.5.5 on my CM9(ICS) Rom and it works. I get to see videos in HD(720p). Thanks for the great youtube mod.
Note: If any one is using CM9 nightlies Rom then the latest version of the gapps does not have the youtube app. Just download the modded youtube app from the above link and install it. If you had installed the youtube app from the play store then just simply remove it and install this one.

Benefist on the new Camera/Gallery app

So I just installed the New Camera/Gallery of 4.2 JB and ........... I found somthing funny and interest, when I make a recording with the original app of CM10 if I play the video on MX Payer and look in propeties it tell me that the video is 1280x720p at 11.6 kb/s and 27 fps , (sometimes 18fps) ......But with the new app my videos are recorded at 59.6 fps in 720p and 26 fps in 1080p (24fps on the cm10 app)
I´m on Sombody´s CM10 with those libs
Cheers
Sorrry for my bad english xD

upload a 720p video to mediafire rapidshare etc
i want to see if this is actually true.
10 second clip of motion should be enough

i think stock camera app is having video problems with autofocus on cm10.
Camera ICS/JB free version records at 29fps which the new camera app apparently does also
Your Stock is recording at 14fps at 720p surprisingly which is way less that usual 23-25fps
Can you do a recording at 1080p with new app im hoping we may actually have smooth recording for once at this resolution.

The links are to the sample videos... But if you type a simple query such "android 4.2 camera" into Google, what you want is right at the top.
The "Read the OP and posts" sentence was due to the fact that those sample videos were actually taken from a device running "Somebody's CM10", and that I asked previously if this thread's author was able to use Photo Sphere and in his answer it is clear that Photo Sphere does not work, but some other functions do, since he was able to shoot the videos...
Just a little bit of effort... Come on, it won't hurt... Oh, screw it. Here's the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1966606

[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

Yup, 720p only.

Your right! I did not know that. Google does own youtube since 2005 from what I read.

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.

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.

YouTube Version 10.05.6 enables 1440p playback

Just to let everyone know. I got an updated YouTube today dated version. 10.05.6 and with any mods it has 1440p video available.
If anyone needs the app let me know.

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 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.
