I got beef the youtube app, and I'm sure they wont listen to little ol me

Does anyone else have a problem with the youtube app, being that it doesn't choose to watch videos in HQ by default. For each video I find my self racing in the menu to choose watch in high quality before the video starts. If I don't do it quick enough, the play time toggle pops up and I end up fast forwarding to the end, and then having to go to the menu again.. Why can't youtube just play HQ by default on my beautiful screen?? Anyone else feel my pain?

Use the mobile website. It's better.

Hmmm my Vibrant seems to default to HQ. Wonder why? I did just get it yesterday.

If your on wifi it defaults to hq if your on data it uses lq.

It happens to me too. I just use www.m.youtube.com
Much better and you can see new videos from your subscriptions.

I hear that in 2.2 samsung will add a HQ button so you dont have to rush to the menu.

This is just what I was looking for. Awesome! Upgraded. The mobile site is just as bad guys, you have to go through hoops to get hq.

Hulu Plus is Working

Today's update must have added support. It didn't work previously on my N8000 so I'm guessing it didn't work on any Note. Apologies if this isn't news.

any news is better than no news...
but glad to hear its supported...thinking about getting hulu plus but the ads sucks

Ads suck and no rooted devices ... need modded apk

I installed this while unrooted and it worked. I then rooted and it still worked.
What's weird is that I can't use it on the same tablet running CM10.

It appears to work but actually streaming video does not. I have no ad blocking software installed and it stops after the ads in the begining.

Would you be kind enought to backup the hulu apk. and upload it. Cause i would really like to have it, but cant download from denmark.

Has anyone found a fix for this? If so can you share it with us?

This is pulled from a backup with rom toolbox

So one of those should do the trick for you, and also, when all else fails, ask jeeves...

Believe the only way is through the browser by a hack flash player until Hulu update it for compatibility on our device.

Curious, I tried both of these, but they won't install. I get the screen to install, but nothing happens when I hit the "Install" button. The "Cancel" button works fine. BTW, I do have the "Unknown Sources" checked... I am not rooted, but that shouldn't matter? I'm wondering why I can't install an APK???

That is pretty odd, but not being rooted, you shouldn't have any issues with the unmodded hulu app in the first place. It is still weird that it doesn't want to install though, have you tried restarting your device?

The stock Hulu app plays ads just fine, but it won't play the actual video. I've tried everything I could think of, including re-starting numerous times.

Stock version was updated tonight and now works. I too was just able to view the ads only, but now everything works! Yay!!

I can also confirm that the Stock version is now working. I can watch TV shows instead of just ADs. Previously mine only played ads.

Sweet! Thanks for the heads up!

Gallery issue?

Hi guys, I've been searching the Web for a while now for this problem and I hope I'm not the only one with it. But since yesterday when I'm on gallery the preview at the bottom of the screen doesn't disappear! If you play a video the play buttons don't go anywhere either. Is there anyone else with this issue?

Yep, same here. I was about to make a thread for it, but found yours. The preview at the bottom, and toolbar at the top NEVER disappear, no matter what I've tried. Also, when making photo selections, a woman's voice tells me that the "check box is checked" I can't find that setting anywhere either. Super annoying.
What the deuce?

Haha even restarts don't help =/ and yeah the woman is hilarious but creepy! I would love to ask Samsung but would have no idea where to start!

I was having this exact same problem and finally figured out what was causing it, at least for me. I installed NoLED and turned it on under accessibility. I didn't realize the connection at the time but then I noticed that the top and bottom overlays in the gallery wouldn't go away. I also got the freaky voice, even when opening websites. Somehow I correlated the issue as to having started after I installed NoLED. After I uninstalled it my gallery sent back to normal. It was either an issue with the app or having given it access under accessibility. Hope this helps.

Gallery works fine on my S4. I have several 100 pictures on it in lots of different folders, and it works great for all of them. Video playback is fine too, FWIW.

Well I've had lightflow installed since day one... So I didn't even uninstall it, just turned it off in accessibility. Yup, gallery is fine now. Odd glitch.

it's not just lightflow, it's for every app that you activate in the accessibility menu

That is pretty weird. Should of known it was light flow! Is there any way to report this to Samsung? At least we have found the fix. Thank you guys a lot!

App require Flash Player and S4 not compatible?

Is there any way to use apps like Justin.tv in Galaxy s4?
Won't let me play the tv channel cuz the flash player doesn't work for S4 devices

You must install flash player then use a browser with it enabled. Dolphin is okay but fire fox is more stable when it comes to flash.

You can find the adobe flash player apk in themes and apps

Justin.tv doesn't have the android app out yet- at least according to their site.
BUT, justin.tv does in fact work from firefox vers 24 (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mozilla.firefox) with flash 11.1.115.81 (http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/installers/archive/android/11.1.115.81/install_flash_player_ics.apk).
I have mine set up that I click to activate the plug in...I press it, wait a few seconds then the video loads. You need to kill firefox if it's running in the background when you install flash. After you restart firefox, you should be golden.

Well, in the nicest way possible- I'm not gonna d/l the one you posted and install it...(and I won't ask anything about the version or if it's legitimate or not). But I can say I'll install the one from the market I found by looking up the app by the filename of what you posted in the app store there's a free version for it https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=co.bantamstudio.streamiefree&hl=en and it does seem to have some playback issues.
By further looking at some of the user comments of that app, I would think that it's a general issue occurring with it and you may want to either spring for the paid version (for real) or contact the developer of the app. It would seem to be that they know best what's occurring with it and can make the adjustments for things to work as expected. Also, by the comments on the reviews, it sounds like the developer broke something when they did their last update.
EDIT: Pretty much says it all in the description of the app in the play store, buddy:
"FLASH IS REQUIRED. Streamie will help you install flash if you don't have it already.
Please rate Streamie 4 or 5 stars if you feel we deserve it. If not, please contact us and tell us how we can do better.
If you have any bugs please contact us directly so that we can quickly support you.
Currently only Justin.tv and Twitch.tv streams are available. We are working hard to add other video services to Streamie.
KNOWN ISSUES:
* The flash player will stop playing if you touch the playing video. This is a problem with the player that Justin.tv provides. We are working on a solution to this.
* Sometimes Justin.tv or Twitch.tv will take a long time to respond to a request. Try refreshing.
* If you have an ad blocker on your phone, it can take a long time to load the stream. This is because the ad request needs to time out."

Yeah, that's what everyone else told them too...and the links were already provided....it's not necessarily flash that's the issue, as indicated my previous post and by the OP uploading the apk they're using... So, that's a pretty good indicator it has to do with the app they're using- that - coupled with the information on the app in the playstore reviews/comments and known issues in the app description - as also indicated in my previous post...oh and it's also outlined how the installer for flash you mention (that was mentioned earlier in this thread) ends up also working in firefox as indicated in my post prior to my last one as well...so I think that's a fairly good indicator that flash or installing flash isn't the crux of the problem...
call me silly, but if I could take the liberty to take a wild guess here, I think it's the app....okay maybe not such a wild guess, but it's the streaming app they're using- as indicated in my previous post...

Wonder if it could be because of the os version too - 4.2.2 on the S4. I think the S3 & note are still on 4.2.1.
I know it was like that with the Crackle app & honeycomb on some devices there was issue playing for a bit.
Anyhow, glad folks got something figured out and/or alternatives.

YouTube overlay problem

I've been trying to play a video off and on all day, but this weird overlay keeps covering up the screen and I can't get it to go away unless I restart. It looks like the Chromecast overlay, but it's been uninstalled, plus I'm not on Wi-Fi. Can anyone explain this?

Unfortunately uninstalling the updates and not reinstalling them is the only way I can keep it off my screen. As Bsmith states, it does appear to be a known issue according to the comments being left on YouTube in the play store. It is also related to using a Bluetooth connection and the similarity to how Chromecast connects.
