I have mine show Chrome, Internet and Youtube, just fine. Maybe try uninstalling Firefox and Dolphin? Are you sure the links you are clicking are properly formatted youtube links? Sometimes strange or forwarded links are not recognized.

Maybe you have too many apps that can play the video and need to scroll down the list since its sorted alphabetically

Go into application manager and clear default on each one

I have the same issue! I have tube mate and it gives me the option to open with that and the browsers I have installed, but not YouTube! And I have no defaults on any of the apps offered or YouTube. Its weird why it won't give me the option! But I did find that if I open it in Firefox, when I click play in the browser, it gives me the option to open in YouTube. A long way to get there!

Youtube links in the Browser question

I'm new to Windows Mobile and just got the HD2 on T-Mobile US.
On my iPhone I was able to click a youtube link in an email or webpage and it opened the youtube app and played the video.
How do I do this in Windows mobile?
I even tried copying the link and then opening the youtube app and pasting it there...didn't work.
I haven't been able to view any video links yet.
Also, I can't seem to figure out how to sign-out of Google Talk.
In the HELP menu it says to select EXIT to sign out. I don't have an option to select EXIT anywhere.
Thanks,
Joe
i haven't been able to figure that out myself , but there is a way.
download skyline browser and make that your default web browser. skyline has the flash you need in order to view YouTube links.
Or you can install fixoperaflash from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=544770
Works fine for me.
@rickyoon do you mean skyfire ??
and i haven't had to do the fix opera flash i just installed opera ten enable plugins and i can watch youtube in my browser

Youtube videos from the Browser (Opera n etc)

Hey guys, I wanna know if i can play youtube videos in the youtube app after i click on a video on the browser..Like the Ipod.
Basically when i click on the youtube video/link in the Internet browser (Opera) how can i make the video play in youtube app automatically without viewing it on the web browser itself...
Sorry for my bad english
Thanks.
bump....any help ?
2 ways... 1.... make IE your default browser and it will load the mobile version of the youtube site. When you click the video, it will open the youtube app to play or option 2.... Click the link, into opera you go... Change tjhe youtube link that is loaded by adding an "m" in front of youtube. So it should read... www.m.youtube.com.(remainder of the provided link) then it will properly load the mobile youtube link. Click the video and the youtube app will launch.
Cool it worked...Thanks alot for ur help
Use Skyfire. Full flash support. Youtube videos will play directly on the browser

Ya, like dial-up circa 1995 slow.
i tried going to failtube with ie, it works a lot better than skyfire as far as quality is concerned. in opera, you can do the same by turning on "plug-ins" under the options --> advanced (or something to that end). it works sometimes, other times it doesn't. beats me why.

Flash player judder?

I've got the 10.1 flash and it was updated today too but any flash videos I watch are often juddering. It's almost like stop motion animation. Does anyone else's player play ok? If I use skyfire browser they generally play ok but I prefer the stock browser.
Also, on previous phones if I click a YouTube link from a forum the YouTube app would open to play it. On my dhd it goes to the YouTube site to play and then I get the juddery issue above. Is there a way of making the YouTube app open automatically when clicking a link?

On my phone all the flash videos play fine and in HD. (it played fine with the original flash that came with the phone, but I have now installed the one from the market to be sure to get the latest updates).
As for youtube, all the links open in full screen in the player (sometimes I need to click on the icon to get it to open in fullscreen).
The DHD comes with youtube 1.6, but I have updated it with version 2 from the market.
Could you post a link to a flash video youve watched that played smoothly so i can check mine?
EDIT: for example can you play this video smoothly?

No, this one judders as well. But when you play it there is a popup text that says "This video is not optimized for mobile devices". So, the website is at fault for not providing a web optimized video.
But this is the first time I have a problem with a video, all of the other flash videos I have come across always play properly.
You can try the videos on bbc.com, cnn.com, youtube.com, etc... Either you will get a popup asking you if you want to play the video in the play or you can play it on the page.

It's there, the only youtube version I see on the market is version 2.0.26.
Usually when you can't see something in the market it's because it isn't avaialbe for your area. I don't know if this is the problem you are experiencing.
Google also provides it at m.google.com/youtube , but I don't know if it's the same version.

watch youtube and multitask?

I cant seem to find a way to watch a youtube video and do other things on my tablet such as browse the web or open up another app. Ive tried the youtube app and the website but neither let me multitask and still play a video.
Is it possible to do so?

i don't believe so
while multi tasking on android; android freezes the app in RAM till you return to it
i believe the only android device that can truly multi task ie watching youtube and emails etc is the Sprint Kyocera but thats a phone

That's the closest thing you are going to get.
Dolphin browser mini lets you have a flash app play in a background tab. Not when you switch apps though.
Maybe this app will help?

Thanks for the link to Ghosttown..that's a great app. Only one little niggle with it though....
because it takes the video from youtube, it doesn't distinguish between the album versions and the live versions....it won't filter...so when you choose an album...you could get all kinds of versions of a tune, not necessarily the proper one from the album chosen.

Any alternative YouTube application?

Rooted 3.1. The YouTube app is taking hell lot of time to load.its buffering ....and keeps on buffering. Any other way to watch YouTube? Market search for other apps for honeycomb returned nothing. Will the Samsung app for the gamester tab 10.1 work on our Ionia?

The browser?
Yeah, the browser works fine here. Even with the HD streams. Every once in a while I find a vid where Youtube blocks "mobile" devices... I just open those up in Firefox Beta with a "Desktop Firefox" UserAgent (you have to install the addon "phony").
