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.

Youtube / video player problem

So I noticed now that youtube mobile now opens videos directly in the browser. Good idea, but buggy. It wont let the video go fullscreen in landscape (play controls and status bar wont go away)
Is there a way to make it so it will use the actual youtube app for videos again, not this in-browser player that force closes and, well, sucks?

Go to settings, manage applications and then go to browser and youtube and clear defaults...next time you go to a youtube video from within your browser, be sure to choose youtube app when the option comes up and check the default box.
There are no defaults set. It just opens it via browser, not the app how I would like

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").

works fine with marathon browser, but i use ff
You can try to sideload older version of flash and see if you face same issue.
And are you using Firefox Beta or just Firefox? Firefox beta seems to work better on android.
But my recommendation would be to use AOSP Browser, its the best browser for android imo better than firefox.

ya... ive tried about 5 earlier versions..all fail. can you go to youtube.com and play videos with firefox??
Yes I use Youtube app though its very good. If I try playing any video on youtube in firefox beta it opens it in the youtube app itself.

right!! but if in firefox if you request a "desktop version of site" then try to play the video in the browser....it crashes. can you try a test of doing that way for me ?? thanks
I tried using the desktop site the full screen worked fine. Only thing I noticed is the buttons like play, resume, full screen appeared blurred , not good. But full screen played fine, no crashes.
I have played videos on other web sites and they also play fine on full screen.
Why you are not using youtube app for watching videos?

not "fullscreen" in firefox in the options you check "request desktop site" after you load www.youtube.com, then try to play a video
I understood what you said before and I did check request desktop site too works fine for me.

Thanks!! I gave up..... flashed CM10 Kang 4.1.2................ now everything works fine!
Just as a question, did you use firefox beta or the normal firefox? On 4.1.1 I had to use firefox beta to make flash work fine, but on 4.1.2 firefox beta flash did only work in NOT Fullscreen mode and trying to use fullscreen made flash crash. Funny thing is, on 4.1.1 the same happened to the normal Firefox. But now on 4.1.2 I use the normal Firefox browser (nfot the beta) and the latest flash version from the archives and it works very goood, also in fullscreen mode no crashes. Hope I could help some people looking into this topic.

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!
