YouTube video on HTC 3300

Hello, is it possibe to watch you tube video on 3300 , as soon as on iPhone for example , i've used Opera,but it doesn't worked with tube=(
any opinions?
what search says

Inspire-SS check this site out http://ytpocket.com/
Just follow the instructions where it says "Click Here to Install the YouTube Player!" The player mentioned is just a plugin for TCPMP. But unlike the way described in the thread posted by Rudegar you dont have to download the video from YouTube's main site using a downloader and then play it. You can just search YouTube from the http://ytpocket.com/ search box and when you click the thumbnail it simply streams the video from TCPMP straight away.
I tried it today and i can confirm that it does work. Plus the site is mobile friendly and can do the whole thing from your device as i did during a lecture this afternoon...
Nice and simple!

Yea i have that too because it also searches various other video sites as well as youtube but http://ytpocket.com/ has far better picture and audio quality. I use both though for different things.

Youtube Links

Greetings,
I was wondering if there are any hacks or apps that would automate the opening of youtube links. I use twitter a lot and clicking on links that lead to youtube videos open opera, but then, no videos. I have to copy the video name, open the youtube app and search for it. I would like something that would automagically open the youtube app and the appropriate video... any ideas ?

HQ videos

Hi
Is there a way to keep YouTube videos (or any other videos for that matter) playing in high quality, rather than having to click the left key -> More -> Watch in high quality every single time?
Cheers
you can find several apps that can download YouTube videos in the market
in the market type YouTube downloader and apps should appear
I tried a few and liked jetvd the best, however I use freedi YouTube downloader - its been discontinued but you can still download from the developers site an old version and install it.
I also saw that there's an app called freedi YouTube download helper but you need to have dolphin browser or login with YouTube account so I didn't bother with it
hope u got wat ur looking for
Just use Skyfire and go on the full YouTube site, it should automatically play them in HQ.

Fix for buffering on youtube!!!!!!!!

After googling fixes I came across this fix, it works for me perfectly. NOTE: THIS CAN ONLY WORK ON HTML5 ENABLED BROWSERS, IT DOESN'T WORK ON THE YOUTUBE APP, OR YOUTUBE VIEWER APPS.
Here are the steps:
1) Install Baidu browser from here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.baidu.browser.inter
2) Go here: www.youtube.com/html5
3) Click request html5 player
4) Enjoy
EDIT: THIS IS MAINLY FOR 3G USERS WATCHING YOUTUBE IN HD, AS THEY FACE THE MOST LAG/BUFFERING
Has there been a buffering issue then?
Doesn't it like depends on your internet connection?:silly:
it depends on your router wifi settings, youtube app is sensitive

[GUIDE] The Youtube Vanced experience in Android TV

This is not meant to be a comprehensive guide for installing and using YouTube Vanced, but to help with usage experience and what to expect if you try to use this AWESOME YouTube alternative app on an Android TV Smart TV device. I CAN'T GUARANTEE THAT THIS WOULD WORK IN "ALL" ANDROID TV SMART DEVICE.
I really don't know if there is a special version of Vanced for Android TV, this guide is for the regular app for smartphones.
What do you need?
- You WILL need a keyboard with mouse (trackpad) input for using correctly the app. There are many, expensive and generic (something like the Logitech k600 is great in the expensive side, and the little Chinese ones with RGB and Nokia old batteries should work too).
- Side-load the official app installer (Vanced Manager) in your TV (depending the manufacturer this is easy or not to do).
- Recommended: "Sideload Launcher" app by the great Chainfire (on the Android TV Google Play store), to be able to easily launch Youtube Vanced in your TV.
The app:

- You can side-load the Vanced Manager apk and install it in your TV.
- It can be directly downloaded from your TV if you have the possibility or can be downloaded elsewhere and copied with a pen drive.
- Then, the TV could have a way to install apps directly (mine does, a TCL) or you can use, for example, FX File Explorer that can be obtained from the Android TV Google Play store. It may ask for permission to install the Vanced Manager depending the way you do it, or give the 3rd. party app the permission to install it.
- Note that if you have activated "developer options" and configured to force-close any app on the device other than the main active one, Vanced Manager will fail when attempting to install the app.
The main problem using Vanced Manager in an Android TV:
- As is not meant to be used in a TV but in touchscreen devices, once installed, you can't even pass the main screen with a "regular" remote. This is because how inputs are detected. So, here is when the keyboard with a trackpad starts to be essential.
- Using a keyboard with "mouse input" you can pass the main screen and correctly download and install Vanced Manager. It's necessary to allow "unknown sources" and give permission to Vanced Manager for installing the app.
What to expect once installed:
- You need to configure it extensively and to your liking (In my case I disable all publicity and configure the general quality of the videos. I just want to see videos and nothing more with YouTube in a TV).
- Depending on the configuration it could be keeping the videos running in the background when you try to watch other things. This is solvable completely with the correct configuration in the app.
- Sometimes the inputs are not detected correctly, but with a "mouse input" available, it works almost perfectly. I recommend to activate accessibility controls to easily skip parts.
- "Youtube shorts" can be seen, but the app stretches to widescreen the videos and rotates the controls.
- If "full screen" is pressed accidentally, the app rotates the screen. This is solved by pressing "right click" mouse input equivalent in your keyboard (the "back" function). The curiosity of this is that everywhere it's said that you "can't see comments on YouTube for Android TV", but with this behavior of the app, you can! (but rotated ).
- You can "navigate" the list of videos with "two fingers scroll" or moving up and down with a cursor, if it's available in the keyboard [it may not be with a "regular" cursor (arrows) but a "directional" one (like a pad)].
Conclusions:
- For me, YouTube Vanced is amazing and even essential for many reasons that are not the focus of this guide.
- The few quirks of trying to using it in a type of device that the app is not meant to be used (like having a keyboard with trackpad as "mandatory") are totally surpassed by the benefits of having Vanced usable in a Smart TV.
Hope you'll be able to enjoy Vanced on your TV, and please give support to The Vanced Team!
Or you can simply use this app:

Would be nice to see a companion music app for SmartTubeNext. STN itself is freaking amazing. Casting to it works perfectly as well.
that would be sweet. but it works good for ur music also. its all on YouTube anyway

Of course! It doesn't have (for me at least) all that I like in Vanced (RIP), but thanks for the alternative. NewPipe is simpler, but works well enough too for my needs.

From Google Translate: "how you change YouTube Vanced as default app. when we ask google assistant".
Sorry but I don't use Google Assistant and, in fact, I have it disabled and the app uninstalled from my TV. However, you could try disabling the official YouTube app that comes with the TV OS to see if then Google Assistant detects Vanced as if it is the main YouTube app.
In some cellphones there is a section in the configuration that allows to edit what app should open with certain "link / triggers" that opens an app. So there you can check what app opens regarding that links, if you have the option to open apps instead of browsers in the cellphone enabled.
I really don't know if that exist on Android TV in some form. I didn't came across a setting like that if I remember correctly, nor anything related in the "developer options".

Saya benar-benar tidak tahu apakah itu ada di Android TV dalam beberapa bentuk. Saya tidak menemukan pengaturan seperti itu jika saya ingat dengan benar, atau apa pun yang terkait dengan "opsi pengembang".

Oke.terima kasih informasinya..di android tv saya coba tidak ada pengaturan untuk itu.hanya bisa di google chrome,ketika kita membuka video YouTube kita di arahkan untuk masuk aplikasi YouTube vanced

Okay, thank you for the information... on the Android TV I tried, there are no settings for that. It can only be done on Google Chrome, when we open the YouTube video we are directed to enter the YouTube Vanced application.

Yes, I was referring to something like that about cellphones.

Just to precise that you can use the trackpad of the shield app tv to avoid having mouse and keyboard. Then you control from your phone .

Thanks for the advice! In my case I tested the "cheap" chinese keyboards that come with trackpad and work well enough, but finally I bought a "Logi K600" wireless keyboard from Logitech, and works like a charm! (in my TCL Smart TV).
The ONLY thing you can't do for controlling the Smart TV with it is turning ON. That function works with infrared. But, you can turn it OFF.
Recent Android TV upgrades changed the way you do "backwards", but you can still do that perfectly with the Logitech keyboard.
