On the latest OTA is there a way to at least make YouTube play in the app instead of the Web browser?

I believe there's an option you can set in the build.prop that will let you choose. Unfortunately I can't remember what it is atm because I have been meaning to do the same thing.
I'm able to select it in 'app associations'

yeah,im on Stock with goodies 2.08 and any time i tap on a video for youtube in facebook it loads up in the browser.
Settings > App associations > YouTube link > YouTube
Even after the latest update with YouTube in the app associations the browser still overrides YouTube links in the browser and facebook. I have installed Chrome and made that the default browser in app associations and this has fixed the problem. No matter where the YouTube link is it always opens up in the app now

When I click on video links on facebook, it shows me a list of browsers to choose app which will open video. there is no Youtube app in the list.
I tried clear defaults / delete data for both apps: Facebook and Youtube but without any results.
The problem is, that the link is redirected over Facebook. So the App does not recognize it as a YouTube-link.

I really wish facebook would give us an option to disable this crap. I don't need this. Really really annoying. That's what's going on. Android will open up youtube videos with the domain youtube.com but facebook makes it m.facebook.com/something or another and youtube doesn't know that domain.
So I don't have any intention of Rooting my phone and I took the OTA update today that gave me Android 4.0.4 and Sense 4.1.
I can't remember if on Sense 4.0 in the App Association menu if YouTube was in there. It is in Sense 4.1 and gives 2 options for YouTube Links. Use the Browser or use the YouTube App.
The Problem I'm having is I have it set to use the YouTube App however it will only use the browser. I have sent a YouTube link to my phone via Text and Gmail and both times I click on it, it will open the browser. Also in the Facebook App YouTube links will open the browser and not the app. Can anyone shed some light on this issue?
I just checked and mine is set to you tube and videos open directly in you tube. I haven't been able to verify Facebook yet. Sorry, I'm not much of a help and I hope you can figure it out. Maybe try rebooting by holding the power button down for 10 sec. since the phone has gone through a lot of changes.

I sent myself a link to my Gmail and it opened the app as normal. Facebook opens the browser. And while in the browser clicking on links still uses the browser. I had to install chrome and make it the default so this would be resolved.

Facebook opens in the browser for me too, but this doesn't bother me enough to switch to chrome. But thank you for the info.

I know what you mean. I can't believe HTC wouldnt make an app association work with its own browser.

The map association seems to have the same issue. I have the map association set to open maps, but when I click on directions from the browser it opens up the website and not the app.
This is more of a headache than the YouTube association. Anyone else having the same issue, or have a solution I can try?

I can confirm that this an issue with the stock browser and map links. Seems that the stock browser overrides the app associations. I have installed Chrome and everything now opens in the appropriate app. If you install chrome you must make it the default browser

Since updating my S3 to JB, all YouTube videos open in the browser instead of the app. How do I get them to default to the app instead?
I've tried resetting app preferences, Internet browser, YouTube app and nothing.
Any help would be appreciated.
Had the same issue. When you browse by Firefox, it does the same but in the last instance before playing the video then finally opens it in YouTube player.

You can blame apple for that. It was included in their lawsuit so it was removed from stock browser. Dolphin browser does the trick for me.

Agreed. I also think the default browser is still the best. Don't like that Chrome doesn't have an intelligent full screen mode like Samsung's browser.
Any fix for this yet? Really don't find Chrome as smooth or quick, but need the YT app since the video quality is so much better than the browser version...

how can apple make google stop using its on application? it's like telling apple they are not allowed to use Itunes anymore....
Really hate apple... They think they invented the world..
I bought an S3 just because of this lawsuit. Would buy an Iphone, after the lawsuit i searched more about GS3 and discovered how much better it was :laugh:
Go to settings --> apps --> all --> browser --> clear defaults.
Now go back to a link to a YouTube video and now choose the YouTube app selecting "Always".

Its not working. Link to youtube from facebook dont open in youtubeapp, only open in my two browser.
What does it take to play a video on this phone. I've tried different browsers ...chrome, Firefox and opera....It doesn't make sense to have almost super phone that won't play videos consistently.... Videos are huge part of websites and web marketing and hard to believe these phones aren't capable..... Some play some don't.... Any comments or suggestions appreciated...

I guess you didn't Google? Google: 'save facebook video on phone' and you get an app in the first line of search results...

Because you made the video player the default app to launch whenever you tap facebook videos if you're on 4.3 press and hold the home button then tap the first option to your left now look for clear defaults tab. You'll see all the default apps there for specific stuff or the longway by going to settings manage apps look for your default video player and tap clear defaults. Then your problem will be solve. Next time read before you tap

Im pretty sure that i didnt choose any video player as default, i even double checked and cleared defaults from gallery, but still facebook automatically plays the videos using a built in video player in facebook.
I think that the new update of the facebook app, doesnt allow anymore external applications to play the video, it plays the video from the application itself.
Are you sure this is not happening to you

Solution!
Well the only solution is:
1. If you want to download a video, first of all go to video comments and type something.
2. then go to your profile main one where you see Activity LOG.
3. after that you will see your comment log, tap on it and now you can choose tabs..:!
