It happened to me too, when i installed the wrong youtube app. Hard reset is the only way to fix it.
I have no problem with MM panel - works fine, plays music, video, photos. Video form camera, originally uploaded Bond trailer or Jazz Video, my .mp4 video - works OK.
I have also installed YouTube panel and I see no problems

YouTube videos open in Streaming Media with audio only, no video

When I first got my Tilt 2 I could play youtube videos fine, but now I just get audio, no video. When I launch youtube URLs they open in the browser and get redirected to m.youtube.com. When I click "Watch Video" it launches HTC Streaming Media, the About screen shows 3.10h (Build 1918.1332). The app connects and buffers just fine, and the sound is fine, but no video. The screen is just black (or grey actually, sometimes with random back bars). No difference in Portrait or Landscape mode.
I'm still using the AT&T ROM, I've installed a few apps but no media players. If I manually launch the YouTube app from \Windows\YouTube the video and audio are great. This About screen shows 2.6 (Build 1917.4121).
I searched this forum and the general forum for youtube and "streaming media" but didn't find an answer.
Did I do something to change the default player for RTSP? Should I even bother fixing the Streaming Media app or just figure out how to change the default player to the YouTube app?
youtube URLs never open in the youtube app as far as i know. but try a hard reset because even in streaming media, you should be getting video.
I've got a lot of apps installed and custom settings, it's not worth a hard reset just to get youtube videos when everythign else works.
Does anyone have any troubleshooting suggestions?
Have you tried Pyrorobs youtube update?
Streams fast and works allright.
It only doesnt support landscape atm.
Hello... First, my English is not very good, i using Freya ROM, 23138, it's very good... but i have sound problems when stream from youtube using Streaming Media, there is no sound, only video is playing, i can't set up eny other player to be default streaming player when i open opera mini and m.youtube.com to stream. How can i fix sound problem in streaming media when i watch youtube stream? Any codec, or fix, patch, reg key or something to fix that stupid problem? I try using TCPMP end registry change rtsp key, opera mini than doesn't recognize stream and then i see rtsp error, i have all plugins installed for tcpmp and youtube and codecs. Please help me to use streaming media, i like it, or setting up other default rtsp player (example TCPMP)! Thanks

[Q] Youtube buffering forever

I was trying to watch a youtube video. In the youtube app, it just shows "buffering... " and does not play. Using the browser, only the circular loading screen showed. Note that everything else loads like the comments, views etc.
However, i can view embedded youtube videos. Now im confused. I think it has to do with the youtube mobile player since the regular player for pc was able to play the embedded video.
Do you know any fix? Thanks.

[Q] video playback quality

Hey guys i wanna ask someone who have a xperia x2 how is video playback quality cause i have put many videos with many file type MP4 WMV and the playback was rubbish the picture isn't clear.
even though the phone is said to support HD video playback but when i play a 360p video it isn't clear.
another thing about the youtube app videos are the same not clear just like am watching a very bad video.
some one can help???
What are you using to play them back ... the built-in player?
I was not happy with it -- skipped alot and soethimes just stopped and needed to reboot ... I now use Corel player -- and that seems to work well ...
i used Media player and the slideview player. the videos did not work on core player only audio played.
as for youtube app is there anything i can do the resolution is very bad can you help?
and thank you any way.
Did you look at the settings for CorePlayer that are listed in XDA? when I first loaded it, it also did not play the video ... They are under tools, settings, then select the video page --- I have mine set to GDI video output, High video quality, Only for 50% smooth zoom, and the Dither box checked.
I think those are the only changed that I made from the default settings, but is was awhile ago, so I am not 100% sure ...
I don't use youtube, so I can't help there ... but there is a new app listed with Omarket that is supposed to provide smooth video -- but I have not tried it ...

Video player for streaming video in browser

Hi everyone,
On any phone I have had to date, videos from the browser that I wanted to watch in full screen mode were played through a video player app. On the essential phone, they seem to be played within the browser still (tried chrome, Firefox, and others). The video quality is pretty poor this way and I was wondering if there was a no frills video player that could be configured Las the default app for watching full screen streaming videos from the browser, and how that would be configured.
I hope this makes sense. I was surprised to see no threads on this topic but I suppose the grainy video doesn't bother other people, or a solution has been found an I'm not using the right terminology.
Any guidance would be appreciated
Most any video player you had on those other phones would work with this one. I've not seen any issues with video playback but... "My legs are grey. My ears are gnarled. My eyes are old and bent."
I've downloaded several video player apps (mx player, vlc, sbs player, etc), but none of them will play the video in the browser unless I download it. On my Samsung s8, if I choose full screen on a video in chrome it will ask what video player I want to use, and I select Samsung video player to be the default. This doesn't happen on the essential phone.
When I download it, the quality is as poor as it is in the browser full screen mode. My guess on that is the resolution for the essential phone is being reported in metadat or something to chrome so it is downloading the video in the only encoding it can find that would support that dimension. That's a total guess, but it's the only thing I can think of that's very unique about the ph-1. Is there a way to disable the full screen mode or tell the browser that my display has different, more standard dimensions?
