Load Youtube Videos in Backround? - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I know this doesn't pretain completely to the Nexus 7 but is there a way to keep the video loading in the youtube app when I switch to another app while it's loading? I have slow internet so sometimes I need to give it a minute to load and it would be nice to do something else while it does. If the youtube app won't do it is there another app I could use?

Bump can someone help me out on this?

There isn't really a way to do this.
You can try the super video app (floating yt).
And maybe the N7 will get pre loading in the future. (It should download the video in the background)
Hope this helps

Anime fans.

Hey, has anyone been able to watch streaming anime from sites such as goodanime or gogoanime? I haven't been able to view them with Dolphin Browser and flash 10.1. Any success stories or can someone try on their evos? Thanks.
Bump, anyone?
Have you tried skyfire browser.. You can watch some flash videos using the certain feature of the broswer. Some sites will work, some dont.
Try pocketvod.com and report back
Both recommendations didnt work, thanks for the help though.

Once you got flash enabled this is anime on the go, its full free episodes without some kind of gimmicky membership. Watching Cowboy Bebop at work definitely lets the time fly by. Hope that is what you are looking for.

funimation works for me...
Hey, i watch fullmetal alchemist on funimation's site all the time with the stock browser and htc's flash lite, it works like a charm! just long hold on the video and play it in fullscreen, performance seems better that way.

flash content takes the longest to load, so be patient. I've had success over 3g and wifi... let me know if you have questions.
Funimation works like a charm, but sites like gogoanime or goodanime won't work.

kumby works fine
Kumby is like gogoanime and goodanime, none of them seem to work... Am I doing something wrong? I've tried to open them by double tapping and still a no go. Any recommendations?

YouTube slow?

Is it just me, or is the YouTube app really slow to load videos? And when I skip ahead or go back, it just refuses to go, even after twenty minutes of "loading".
I went to go to the play store to give a comment that is was being slow, and then I realized it said the app wasn't compatible, and the YouTube app we have isn't the same as the one from the play store.

I have this same issue. Youtube app is so slow in loading videos that it is unusable on my Nexus 7. Using Youtube via browser is a bit better but still way too slow. Does anyone know what might be causing this?
Btw, what do you mean by different app? I think nexus7 yt app is certainly the same app as the one on Play store..
Not for me. Videos start streaming nearly instantly on the YouTube app. I jut tried a random HD video. It started in ~one second. I tried changing the location slider and it responded fluidly.
In fact, this is one of the things I like a lot about the nexus 7.
I have noticed that while Netflix is very responsive its try difficult to get the position slider to nudge just a little forward or back.
Stock, rooted.

That is strange because for me, it just keeps "loading" forever when I try to watch a video (the menus and search etc. still work nice and fast in the Youtube app).
Maybe I should do a factory reset to see if that fixes this issue. My Nexus is stock, unrooted. I love the way this tablet handles but this issue is driving me crazy..

I've noticed youtube videos take a while to start but once they've started there's no buffering issues and skipping to different parts works fine,
It seems Nexus 7 doesn’t like my internet connection / wlan router (Cisco epc3825).
When using 3G connection (using my Galaxy Nexus as wlan access point), Youtube works fine. But with my 40mbps cable connection, it’s a no go.
This sucks, especially since my 1st gen iPad works fine using the same connection. I guess there is no workaround other than to buy a new wlan router - anyone know of one that would work well with Nexus7?

EDIT: I switched to Zyxel router and everything works fine again.
Guys, i had the same problem and i just went into play store and deleted the last update.... There are a bunch of bad reviews for the latest update... Give it a try, it might work for ya as well ^-^
I tested with the stock rom and it loads fast. With custom roms it loads slow. Check it out.....

Problems with youtube

I have been having some pretty consistent problems with my youtube app, and while trying to play youtube videos on Dolphin or Boat browsers in general. Mainly they occur when I try to play fullscreen hd youtube videos. While on the youtube app, the app quickly loads around half or one-third of the video. The video plays well enough till the point the video has been loaded and then gets stuck. If I try to go back or do anything at all the whole app gets hanged.
On the browsers, the problem is a bit different. Earlier on stock Roms, aokp pub and aokp by task650, and on paranoid android (all roms on 4.2.2) the browsers while playing videos in fullscreen hd would not only hang up but kill ALL background processes. I would then have to restart these processes (such as avast, orientation control etc). However now am on a rom called Vanilla rootbox which is a combination of aokp and PA type rom. Here the background processes aren't killed but the video wouldn't play at all in fullscreen, whether hd or not.
I have no problems playing videos in any size less than fullscreen in either the youtube app or the browsers, whether hd or not.
I have been wondering if my screen lcd density could be a reason for this, or if there is problems with the per app dpi I have set. I have tried changing them but haven't seen much improvement. this could be the case, what should I preferebly keep the screen or the youtube app dpi as to avoid this problem?
Any help would be greatly appreciated and thanks in advance to anyone who replies.

I don't really have a problem with HD videos on YouTube on full screen. I'm running just stock and only the YouTube app. I'm thinking that maybe you need to free up some more memory or check your wifi. I have noticed that when I had an antivirus app it slowed everything down and I had random reboots. Sorry if this isn't the answer your looking for, but its something.

I have more and less narrowed down the problem to being related to my screen density. With 320p youtube app is working, browsers hang on full screen mode for youtube.

I know someone else somewhere had a similar issue (YouTube would crash on going full screen), and they narrowed it down to an issue with having the Notification/Navbar at top/bottom hidden... apparently this threw off the screen size and pixel density enough to make You-Tube freak out.
Not sure if you have this option on those ROMs, and if you have it on... but thought it might be worth throwing out there.

scrapbook cannot play YouTube video

YouTube video gets captured as an image instead of a video or video link. Didn't get it to play on scrapbook at all.

You need to revert back to you tube old version if you want that functionality, by going to application info and clicking uninstall updates.

S Note does play/import YouTube video. That could be a work around, depending on how you want to organise your video's.

AHaaaa. . Thanks!!
Does anyone know the version that did work with scrapbook before the update. I have 4.0.23 and I like it cause when in landscape mode I still have the slider at the bottom. When I updated to the new version of YouTube it doesn't have the slider.
Take a sec and hit thanks if I helped or if you're in a good mood!

YouTube very choppy

Anyone else find that while playing YouTube videos it's a bit choppy? I tested multiple videos and they all seem to be very choppy.

No problem here on the open D802 version.
Only with HD enabled. Unfortunately. Alot of other users (german android-hilfe.de forum) also say that its choppy with HD enabled (D802).
Apparently, it was the same on previous LG Android phones.

Issue lies within the LG Software.
Does this happen on wifi too, or just on the celluar network? I have verizon and no issues so far.

Go search smarttube the only downside it doesn't bring up you subscription feed. I connected my YouTube account and add it to watch later and then go on smarttube and they have a section for YouTube watch later
The issue that I have is the quality of video isn't very good. Its not bad until you see text on the screen and its kinda pixelated. Smarttube looks better on HD or full HD. Then my YouTube app

Thanks for the recommendation, will check it out.
I can't believe the default Youtube app still has problems up till now. It's a Google app for goodness' sake!

I have also brought thus issue up in the Q&A forum before. The only solutions I have found so far is too uninstall updates of the YouTube app and use the old one instead, or use the mobile web version.

No lag for me on youtube vids at all so far, Bell version of LG G2, that being said i will keep an eye out for any oddities, since my youtube app just updated itself this morning.
No problem here. Have you tried uninstall and reinstall the app?
