I'm trying to watch the Sony E3 confernce on my S4 from the gamespot page. I dont seem to have any option to make the video go full screen. Is there a way to do that? I've been using Chrome for my browser if that matters.
thanks!

It's not another post about if it's possible to have xfire messenger on wm but this: http://www.xfire.com/live_video/
I don't know if I'm the only one but I never been able to have flash active x working on my uni, nor ie, nor opera.
Actually even the application to play youtube movies on the uni don't work for me, but I guess it should.
So, is there a way to make a web browser play flash things, or edit some lines in the youtube application to play thoses movies, or something else to make it work ?
So far the only way I found is to use remote desktop, which give 0,8fps and a very low quality sound.

Try using skyfire... just google or search over here, it's a freeware and plays flash videos flawlessly...
Thanks a lot, since I tryed netfront which wasn't able to play this, I though it would be the same for all browsers.
Though, I can't put movies into full screen, nor with the virtual cursor of skyfire, nor with fakecursor (my touch screen is dead), are you able to ?

well it doesn't support fullscreen,,,, but i mostly use zoom button to make it somewhat around the display size and focus on that part only... you can hide the top and bottom bar ... somewhat like full screen.... the only browser that supported fullscreen playback was mach5... which is not a freeware...
I dont know if its just me but I dont see an option for HQ when playing videos which are available in HQ
Im running Fresh Rom .53
when I click a link it always launches in the browser flash. It automatically goes to landscape mode..
Is there a way to set it to launch the video in the youtube app or in the new HTML5 ?
Ive searched for this topic but have not found anyone talking about it so I assume maybe its something im doing
Whenever I watch something using the YouTube app, once it switches to landscape it shows the seek bar at the bottom, all the way to the right of that there is a HQ icon. If it is grey HQ is off, tap that icon and it will turn red indicating it is on.
The same applies if I go to YouTube through the internet browser.

I think the explanation is that Android 2.1 Browser does not have HTML5 video capabilities. I've tried a 2.2 Froyo ROM on my Evo and it DOES show the HD option.
GReddy the YouTube site was updated yesterday. It runs using Flash now. I have the same problem as the op and I'm stock.

Yeah I'm stock and when I use the youtube website it luanches the vid in HTC flash player so there isnt an HD option blahhh
Eek, you guys are right! I stand corrected. Even in the stupid video release by YouTube "Introducing the New YouTube Mobile Website" shows an HQ button that does not exist.
I dont know why I had to jump through hoops to get the HQ button but in the addy bar type "about:config" without quotes of course and go into settings and change UAString to Iphone, it throws up an occasional error but ive gotten most videos to play, the browser probably just needs some sort of update on the html 5 support
Some of the roms pop up a query box to open in Youtube app or HTC flash player. Obviously the flash player is the flash lite crap one so quality sucks. This can be changed by the developer.
eg. Nosense asop like does this. So all youtube, even launched from the web, plays in the evo player and you have the HQ option.

I get that when I follow q YouTube link from another site because those are links to full YouTube. The new mobile site is redesigned and doesn't offer this.

Not to hijack this thread, but on my iPod Touch the HD ones show. So maybe it has to do with HTML 5 then?
I can select high quality on my moment. Have do go through the menu to do it.

when i type "about:config" i just get a blank white page with no options. are you on stock rom?
I may go ahead and try EVO-NonSense(AOSP Elements) rom.. i realize the first thing i do is get rid of sense when i install a rom so why have it there in the first place.. :-D
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.

And wow ghostown is a really nice app
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.
So i side loaded watch espn using the .apk from my thunderbolt, but the video is not fullscreen. Does anyone else use this app and is able to get the video full screen. I've tried searching google and found some others having the issue on other tablets but no solutions.
The menus are full screen, just when it loads the video it's not. Id appreciate any help.
