YOutube vidoes hardly play.

So I have a Hero... and at fist it had bad quality until I found out that the setting could be changed. Now, my problem is that I can only play 1 out of 10 videos I try and play, it sucks... is there anything I can do to fix it and is anyone else having this problem??

yea, alot of videos dont work from the youtube app, even more dont work from youtube via the web browser + going through the browser gives ****ty quality
lets hope htc fix this up in 2.0/2.1 when they release it with the sense ui!

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
i heard in 2.0 most videos work cause of flash 10?

So I need 2.0?? How do I get it?
Also, is there maybe a differnt app or program that allows me to play youtube videos that isn't the one that comes with the phone? links if any plz.

are you on the stock rom? i'm using modaco's 3.0 and haven't got any problems, either on 3g or wifi.
there might be some media player apps that play streaming videos. on windows mobile, i used to use 'coreplayer' to stream youtube videos, worked well. there's gotta be one or two on android that do this??
btw, where is the setting to change the quality?

android really needs a coreplayer i miss the youtube on that works flawlessly
*EDIT*
maybe i spoke to soon

nice!!! android needs this!

yes.. please.. what to do.. to fix this ??
I dont like.. that we have a youtube app.. that is 1/10 working!
any one.. have ideas ??

I think Youtube are using some Flash10 exclusive coding techniques that our beloved Hero can't handle due to the Hero actually don't have a full blown Flash10 support...

This would make sense, except that before I got the hero I had the mytouch and youtube app worked great with little to no problems (I've tried it on both a stock and rooted rom on both hero and mytouch). I'm having a hard time understanding why the hero has problems with it.
I do find that sometime if I go into a task manager and kill youtube and start it again it works for a bit. It seems also that changing the quality of the video causes it to quit working too.

I must be very lucky every single video i tryed to watch worked fine with stock ROM...
Maybe is connection related...or just pure luck

They should work as if I'm not mistake the youtube player links to the mp4 feed, he may need to update his rom to the latest version which plays smoothly.

HTC Video playback prob?

Hi,
Has anyone else had bother with video camera playback on HTC's photo/video icon.
When i capture and try to play back........nothing.
The file plays fine on coreplayer fine.

thats what happens when you install youtube on a t-mobile rom.
only solution i've seen is to flash with a proper rom.

The swines,
I can't get a ROM 1.66 from HTC, they say it's not for my device....
Is there a way round this.
I'm gonna swing for Tmobile.

look in the rom forum for hspl.

Thanks, got it now.
Just hope my bottle does not crash when i put this update on.........

Recording video in background

Hi there.
Anyone knows the way to continue recording video with HD2 in background?
I'd like to both make video recording and use the GPS navigation program.
Since the functionality of standard video camera application on HD2 is rather good (sound recording, different types of recording, nice quality) I failed to find any good alternative for it. I know only two programs which are positioned as video register programs for PDAs and both them are not suitable due to a number of reasons. (both apps I'm referring to are oriented to Russian market, AvtoDVR and MyDVR).
May be anyone knows the register key which allows to continue video recording after sending the camera application to the background?
Thanks for help!

I second the request.
I subscribed to a thread which has since long been dead, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=597003 where we were asking for this exactly (and a little more, as well) and AutoDVR came up too.
There's a problem tho: it's pay2use, and a program with banal background video recording shouldn't be (but AutoDVR still offers other interesting features, like video looping through MJPEG format, and gps speed watermarking), and it is severely messed up on the HD2 (as in, not useable, as soon as you switch it to background/lock the phone, the video gets garbled and the program interface does, as well)

record slow motion

Is there any way, app or setting to allow the hd2 to record in slow motion. Because it's an awesome and nifty feature on the omnia 2 but I can't find in the hd2.

no one replying....does that mean there is no slow motion video recording for the hd2.

the problem is wider than that.
I could find NO recording application altogether for the HD2 that was even able to record in background (none at all other than the stock one actually, even without background recording capability, none that worked at least), so let alone the possibility to find one that does exactly what you look for.
I'd say your problem is easily solved tho, you can move the video on your pc and easily edit it with a tons of free tools available both for the windows and the lonux platform.

camrecorder lag

I found a big problem in camrecorder wih my HD2 at beganing i was used android on SD card and i faced this problem now i used it on nand and the same problem still exist the video recording always lag and very bad sound and video recording
i used alot of android roms
if any rom or program or solution to this problem ?

Try download LGCamera & LGCamcorder (urm.. they should come together I think) from Market.
I used this on my HD2 running Hyperdroid and video recorded are very smooth!
