Picture in Picture (no streaming content) - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I have a question about a feature. The picture in picture is an awesome feature love it. But is their a hack where I can use youtube or Netflix to achieve this. Not just videos already installed.

you would need an app like floating browser or OverSkreen and use the web to view netflix and youtube.
i dont think there is a PiP video player that will play from the apps themselves......if i wrong i would like to know this as well.

This is what I have been using for YouTube. Netflix support coming soon. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.myboyfriendisageek.stickit

best player for Youtube

hi...im running stock rom....videos off web sites play fine with flashplayer 10.2 but youtube videos are a little jerky and staticy......any better way to play youtube vids?
Youtube app from the market would probably do the trick.
I think a youtube app is part of the stock rom...is the one in the app market different?
No, should be the same thing. But you had said videos from websites play fine, so I figured you were watching youtube from the website.
The app is just a dedicated app for youtube so it will be the best bet over the actual site.
if the youtube app doesnt play decent then its probably your connection.
ok gotcha.....thanks a lot
You might want to search the market for the YouTube app anyways - it might have an updated version from what you have installed.

default video in TP

i cant seem to find the default video app on my transformers, is there anyway to view videos without flicking through the gallery? because i lots of pictures and its Pain in ass to find my videos thanks
I don't see anything that says video. But if you use the MyNet app it shows you the videos on your TP as well as being able to check your lan, etc.
thats lame the video app only comes up when u click on video file in gallery o thr other means

With root and titanium backup, I just removed the youtube app that comes with stock.
After that I was able to reinstall youtoube from the playstore, choosing version 5.3
That version plays everything perfectly in HD.

Ok, thanks for the Info I'll check that
Update,
I don't know what is it but when I play video on that Youtube app (v5.3) when I choice HD (and I know in desktop is REAL HD) is streaming poor quality like I don't know... VGA maybe
from CC to HQ is like from very poor quality to poor quality so that was not my point. I want to play 720p or 1080p videos like on desktop
Strange, because I do get pretty good quality, definitely HD (by youtube standards).
Either install flash player and firefox, or dolphin browser and dolphin jetpack or install viral youtube app. Take a look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2579795

The viral floating youtube app doesnt support 480p or 1080p because google splits the streams in to. 720p works flawless and it hasnt any great difference with 1080p.
I forgot to ask you what version of android you have, if you have 4.2 jelly bean then adobe's flash player should work with every browser that supports flash playback (like firefox or dolphin). If you re on 4.4 kitkat though you need the hacked flash player as google removed from 4.4 some critical files that the flash player needed.

Yes i have 4.4 CM11 , like I wroted up, the haked flash work like a charm, but I switch to Dolphin browser because Boat browser do not played all hd videos on YT like I was thinking, but Dolphin does. Overall I think that Boat is beter browser than dolphin, faster, lighter and smoother but is something for something, haked flash player support Dolphin and is somthing in that flash code because videos that I can't watch on Boat are smooth playable on Dolphin.

I use firefox as a browser and if i want to watch youtube videos i switch to dolphin. Dolphin is not bad at all, its the only browser at the moment which can play flash videos in 4.4 kitkat with satisfactory results and supports plugins just like firefox.
Try Og YouTube from XDA. It's a modified Youtube APK.
There you can select the resolution like you do in the webplayer.
I'm running it and it works fine.
The only issue is, that you can't log in with your Google account.

Give viral a try. See sig
Use Flashfox or Firefox and download an add-on called youtube center.
For now I using Dolphin with jetpack and moded fplayer, and YT works like on PC no problem with 720/1080p
I dont really get it , why from the first place google messed up the resolutions.
Seriously... Why is this even a problem. Videos from the YouTube app look terrible. Sucks that we have to find a workaround.

I downloaded an older version of YouTube, 4.4 something and it shows HD videos fine.

Play videos in app instead of browser

Hi,
for some time now basically all browsers switched to integrated video playback and I hate it.
The integrated player is simply said pure ****. Is there a way to disable the HTML5 player and open all videos in websites in a player app (e.g. MX Player)? I watch videos in fullscreen anyway so there is no problem with an app opening instead of this laggy **** player. (Also MX Player can run in Background while playing Youtube for example).

If it's an embedded Youtube video and you have the Youtube app, you can click on the link on the top portion of the video (or click on the Youtube logo) and it will open in the app.
Yeah, but it's not only about YouTube. A lot of news sites I regularly visit have their own videos.

How to use default video player instead of website video player

Hi.
I have been using UC browser for very long time to watch online videos. Uc has its default browser which is very handy to use.
Now the India banned the UC browser, its time to switch.
Now i am switched opera, the main issue is that when i play the website video it uses its own video player istead of default opera video player.
How can i use the website video to different video player, tried every browser firefox, dolphine, brave etc. However everyone is playing the same website video player which is very difficult to use.
So please suggest me how to do so. Used the mx decoder method by making it default also but its not working.
Waiting for someone to guide this poor soul toward the heaven....:angel:

Hi. You'll need to be more specific. Online videos as in what exactly. Embedded videos on websites or video streaming sites.
Can you give some example of the online videos for us to refer?
Personally i use samsung internet, with its useful built in ad blocking plugins..
You can try to check your browser settings. Here is mine on samsung internet.

Thanks for your reply,
I think i am talking about embedded videos, However, the Samsung internet works after applying this smart video assistant.
Can you suggest some more type of browsers having the same feature??
