[Q] problem with youtube video - G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I don't know if this has been covered but I've searched briefly but came with nothing.
I'm getting annoying stuttering every 5secs or so on youtube videos with youtube app(one I donwloaded off the market). Using flash works fine. Is there different version of youtube for tegra?
I'm using vegantab ginger rc1
Thanks.

How are you connected, wifi or tethered and are you using the You Tube app or the browser version?
For me wifi works fine, being tethered not so good & the YouTube app is more reliable.

any high def YouTube usually stutters for me wifi or whatever in any ginger rom.

There is no acceleration in gingerbread for the g tab yet because there are no drivers available. If you want video acceleration stick with froyo for now.

[Q] Best Rom/Flash version for video?

I tried downgrading to android 2.2 (vegan 5.1) and see if hulu / others will look better/smoother. I heard that the gingerbread doesn't have video accelleration. I'm still getting pretty spotty video.
Any suggestions? Anyone able to get smooth video at this point?
Oh, I'm also using the hulu fixed version of 10.2 and dolphin hd.
Thanks
I think you should get an iPad

Bottom line is if you are not overclocking then calkulin+clemsyn combo is the only rom fast enough for completely smooth video. I recommend the ipad.
PlayOn is a decent solution for getting Hulu onto Android, or any other device. Smooth hulu in the browser would be nice, but it's too much trouble for me personally.

[Q] Hulu, Netflix on Honeycomb

Hello All,
Has anyone gotten Hulu to work on Honeycomb? If so, which modded version of Flash did you use? What browser and settings?
I am currenly using Flashback ROM Alpha 5.5 (Android 3.0.1).
Does anyone have information on when Netflix will be available for
Honeycomb?
Thanks,
Paul
I have not tried it yet but netflix updated today to support a tegra 2 hc Lenovo tablet.
try it and let us know.
Do you know where I can find the app (.apk) to try this? It's not in the Market yet.

no sorry I do not
I installed the Modified Netflix app where the device check is disabled.
I am able to see Available movies, My Queue etc properly.
When I try to watch a video, I receive the following error:
Sorry we could not reach the Netflix service. Please try again later. If the problem persists please visit Netflix.com (1005).
How about Crackle? I have the app on my G Tablet and it keeps saying it has been disconnected. What do I do?
Newest netflix update works on honeycomb gtab now

Great!! Where can I download it? Not available on Android Market. Unable to download (due to device type) on market.android.com.

Edit: I can not confirm if this works, as the app says overloaded and will not fully load on my gtab running GtabComb b3.2
Edit 2: It works! The video quality isn't the greatest but it works. woot

Crackle works on my CM7. But no go on Flashback or Gtabcomb. With the Flash from the market on the HC ROMs, I get only audio and with the hacked flash the app starts to play the video and then backs out, just like it did initially when the Netflix app came out.
I will try the .apk and let you know what I find out...thx
I am running gtabcom 3.2, puffin browser, and flash 10.3 from the market. It works great on hulu, not sure on nextflick.
Netflix Works on Flashback Honeycomb ROM Alpha 5.5!!
The video is a little blocky when watching the first 10 - 15 seconds. After the video caches a little, video quality is quite acceptable.
Here is the link to the .apk: http://www.multiupload.com/XTEWL8CLCZ
Awesome!!!
Can't get hulu videos to go full screen, but at least its working. Thanks for the info.
Gtabcomb 3.3 runs the market netflix app perfectly.

if you do a search in the forum I think someone posted the netflix apk.
Hulu and Netflix
Don't have any experience with Netflix, but Puffin browser with Flash from the market will play Hulu videos. But Hulu videos are choppy for me. My 2cents worth.
It works!
I confirmed this app works on vtab GE edition. Thanks a bunch for the link from droidlife!

Hulu on the GTab

Is anyone currently able to watch Hulu either on the website or through the Hulu Plus app?
If so, what Rom are you using and what version of Flash?
I can get to the website and start the video but so far after it plays the first commercial the video will stop, the audio will play but the video freezes
OR
It will play until it gets to a commercial, it will play the commercial and ten never resume playing
OR
it wont even make it past the first commercial, it will play the ad but will then stop playing and get stuck on a black image...
Ive tried CM7, Flashback, Vegantab Ginger Edition (couple different versions) as well as multiple versions of Flash...
Having the same issues. 1.1bl, Vegan Ginger 7.1, Vgeezyflash.API 11.0
Having issues too.
Using the Flashback 10.0 alpha (Honeycomb 3.1) rom and can't get hulu or most flash items to load right/
If I click around and end up hitting play I'll get sound on hulu, but that's all.
I think it has something to do with later flash versions using Hardware Acceleration and the gtab not supporting it or something.
I've tried the stock browser, Dolphin for Pad, Dolphin HD and Opera Mobile/mini all with the user agents set to Desktop.
I've tried flash from these locations:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1076612
I always get the same result.
The websites I use to test are, newgrounds, hulu and a google search for "fart soundboard".
On Hulu I only get sound, on newgrounds flash items are just a blank spot and the fart soundboard will make noise if i click on it but I can't see any of the buttons I'm pressing.
I've read other posts of people saying the have got hulu to work but they fail to mention where the got the flash apk.
Get the PlayOn Mobile app and stream it as well as many others right from your pc to anywhere your connected to wifi, been using it awhile now and until we can stream directly from the site, this is a GREAT alternative

Thanks for the tip!
Update:
Using Opera Mobile 11.1 (with the user agent set to "desktop" in its settings, from this post and the latest version of Flash Player 11 from the Android Market get's flash based websites like newgrounds.com and my flash based eTextbooks to work correctly! So that's a decent enough work-around for my issues.
Hulu.com works better than with any other browser but still won't actually play videos.

Flash - Full screen video problems

Is it just me ??
I'm sure full screen video in youtube (not the app, by using the browser) used to work. Now when i try to watch a full screen video in any streaming site that uses flash just makes my browser hang.
BBC iplayer
ITV
4OD
5OD
Youtube
They all play the video in the small screen but hang when i expand to full
I've uninstalled flash and rebooted etc etc
P.S. tried using stock browser, Opera mobile, Dolphin HD.
Mine does the same, put it to full screen and nothing but sound, then when I minimise it, it plays the video back to small and just won't let me shut down the browser.

that's strange as my fullscreen still works fine in all browsers. maybe try clearing all data from those browsers then trying again. I've been using opera nonstop lately since they added back flash support. watched several movies through there on fullscreen by hitting the little fullscreen button on the box.
Mine does the same thing.....it really bugs me.

I'd recommend trying ICS browser+, I have the exact same flash problems on Opera and Boat; however, ICS browser plus handles going to full screen near perfectly.
Same for me, in all browsers I have tried!
When I try full screen I get a white block and I have to force close the browser.

Been using ICS Browser + today and i'm happy to say its working flawlessly !
All flash loads full screen and plays without issue and it actually works better than all my others as an everyday browser !!
Thanks Tekara

[Q] Can't watch any internet videos anymore, why?

I have an HTC Thunderbolt running Liquid Gingerbread v3.0 ROM version liquid.mecha.20111007.150023 with a kernal 2.6.35.14-imoseyon-4.1.2AOSP
My problem is that videos from the internet will no longer play, they used to play. I have tried both the stock browser and Dolphin browser to no avail.
Youtube videos in either browser will play audio but no video, just a black box. In the youtube app, no audio or video will load, just the spinning loading wheel.
In Vimeo I get vertical colored bars in both browsers with audio.
Videos from other sources either won't load or will play only audio with a black video box.
I had this problem a long time ago when I first installed this ROM. There was a Flash video fix I had downloaded from this forum that I can no longer find. Anyone know what I am talking about?
I fear I have installed a Flash video update that has broken video on my phone, that is the only theory I have. Please help, I would like to watch video again.

If his fix doesn't work for you then try using mxplayer and the codex for arm devices. The flash fix didn't work me.

Yea this version of flash worked for me too when I was running liquid 3.2 gingerbread
Also jesman you should update to liquid 3.2 and imoseyon 6.2.1 kernel if your gonna run liquid
To get Flash 10.3 working on the stock browser you need to do two things:
1) force stop the browser process
2) Remove all permissions for /data/data/com.android.browser/app_plugins/com.adobe.flashplayer/.macromedia/Flash_Player/config.data
*Fix also works for Dolphin. Just change com.android.browser to mobi.mgeek.TunnyBrowser
Changing the permissions restricts the flash plugin or the stock browser or the webkit or I dunno what from reading config.data. This file is screwing with video playback of anything over 240p.
What's weird is that the config.data generated for 10.2 and 10.3 appears to be identical, except for the ProductVer string. Since the file contains settings for h264 high, baseline and main profiles, there's probably some change in 10.3 to the way it uses this information.
Either way, this is a bandaid for those that don't wish to use Opera until the heart of the issue is found/addressed.
I claimed no credit for this post. Read it in a cyanogenmod forum credit goes to OneLikeSeaBass

Deleting the config.data file also seems to have the same effect. It rebuilds that after you delete so there are no I'll effects.

Ok, wow thanks guys for the feedback. I am going to give these a try later tonight and I will post back the results.
This forum is great!
The solution from heath2805 worked. Deleting the config file only fixed the youtube app. Thanks again!
