Is the problem that Atrix cannot play 720p or above due to codec problems?

I have been through that forum and tried different versions of YT/ and installing methods.
New versions still plays better than older 2.4.4.
Many do play but a number don't - and unsure how to tell if they are HD etc (no icons in corner)
- various error messages - example attached
Since trying some youtube players (ie cutnpaste url - helps on many of them)
Same videos on S3 play no probs though...
MIght be something that I have to live with (1st world problems!)

The HD icon won't ever show in portrait (not enough room), but it will almost always show if you flip your phone to landscape.

Okay - but if there is a problem playing then there is still no choice to toggle.
NB: currently using YT4.4.11 developed by theos)o Buildv4

any further advice on how to get youtube to play with nuetrino v2.91?

any reason why videos that won't play in youtube will play in NextVid app?
Is there an easier way of copying url from youtube to nextvid?

Probably due to same issue with HQ Youtube videos huh?
How can I bypass the "This device is not supported by Netflix" that I get when clicking on a title on my Instant Queue, so I can see if it is working or if it just audio only. Is there a way to spoof the app into thinking I am on a supported phone? If so, please tell me how to do it. Thanks.
There is an apk that will not check for device compatiblity but yeah no video. For me it plays audio and then it kicks out back to the queue. I wish it worked. Anything we can do?
Can't tell anything without knowing what codec / format Netflix is using in this app. I'm sure they're using H.264, but if it's not H.264 Baseline Profile then our phone hardware can't decode it. And if it's larger than 640x360 resolution, our current codec can't handle it.
I don't have a Netflix account so I haven't tried to see what formats they're using.
The current codec we have is written in C++ with threads. I'd say that's at least a 10% performance hit right there; if it was written well, in straight C, it would probably have achieved the 800x480 that Qualcomm's original spec claimed.
Netflix released an updated app today with support for more devices. I get the main screen, then loading, then the playback screen and nothing .... black screen. Nerts.

I'm not sure what 'nerts' are, but the new video playback libs might be necessary... Anyone with those new libs given this new app a shot?

nerts = nuts = really mild profanity
I actually have the new libs installed already. I'm running a RHOD500 with the latest kernel, overclocked to 710 Mhz, in case that matters.

HQ YouTube works more or less. There's a little stutter sometimes, and some HQ videos start and then stop after 5 or 10 seconds, and some others play just fine. Oh, and the libs fixed video playback of the mp4 movies I already had on my device.
Weird thing is, YouTube under WinMo refuses to play HQ videos at all.
Nerts is funnier.

It used to. Some time back YouTube changed something, and now HQ videos play without sound (I was thinking they didn't play at all). Supposedly you can fix this by changing your network to "media," but I don't have that option any more since I upgraded to 6.5.

I just rebooted to see. Worked fine for me, I'm on 6.5 - but I used Opera... I don't know if there's some app that I should be using, perhaps it wasn't truly HQ.
Either way, if it used to then there shouldn't be anything limiting the hardware. Seems hyc went thru all that pretty thoroughly tho.

I'm using Dot's latest rom dated 04-23-11 and it does play HQ youtube flawlesly, unlike NRG's which for some reason have a little choppy sound while the video plays, or it could just be my old tilt2

I was using the HTC YouTube app. I tried it on two different 6.5 TP2s and they both do the same thing, HQ video plays, but no sound.
And your right. I know the hardware is capable, just somewhere along the way something in the software got screwed up on YouTube's end or mine.
Anybody try changing the build.prop to HTC vision or desire z or any of the phones that works with Netflix that's how we have it working already in my section
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
I don't think the new version checks to see what model you're running.
The new Netflix app has a LOT of compatibility issues.
They still can't get it working on most Huawei S7 ROMs, and that device can do 720p easily.

[Q] youtube wont work on stock hero gsm

Hi. I have 2 hero phones and a desire hd, so I love HTC. Anyhow my dad and wife use the hero phones and recently my wife complains that YouTube won't work. It says this video can't be played. Almost all videos are like this. My dads says he thinks his is the same but I will need to check.
The phones are not rooted and run 2.1. What can I do to fix this. All YouTube used to work fine when the hero was my own main phone. Would rooting and custom roms fix this.
Cheers des
Just a update. Videos older than about 1 year ago play fine, but newer than that won't play. I have installed tubemate and I can use that to watch newer videos, but it isn't as good to use as YouTube app. Also YouTube on the internet brings up a yellow ! when I try to play. Cheers.
Is this normal or am I missing something. Thanks guys.
It is because the new videos are played in HD. If you turn the phone to landscape, there is a HD button at the bottom. Press that and you'll be fine ... I hope ;-)
sent with love from me to you
Ok I tried this on both the hero phones and still the same problem. I can't play videos less that about 1 year old. What am I doing wrong. Cheers
hix
same me
i sometime i can play on youtube, now,i cant use flash play video
No one can help us ?
Try running the videos through Flash from browser m.youtube.com not Youtube app
Normally these kind videos run if you un check HQ option in the landscape mode
Post the video URL here, we can check if it works with an updated rooted phone.
This works for me. Where you see the HQ thing shows up just tap on it and it works.

the (adb install YouTube_signed.apk) should be (adb install signed_YouTube.apk). Good luck.

video lag in browsers

hi guys,
looked through the fora but could not find something maybe someone can help me out.
I have bad lag when i watch flashvideos in my browsers. all of them same lag. standardbrowser, skyfire, mozilla, dolphin.
Anyone with the same problem and even better anyone a solution?
Yeah I started thread couple week ago. It's in a q& a section. Unfortunately, there's no solution as of yet regarding video freezing but sound keep playing when streaming on network. Playing on wifi works fine.
One thing I found helps is restarting phone before starting Netflix for example or watching from browser.
Also note YouTube app does not suffer from this, so sometimes if it's a YouTube video embedded in the Page I just click on video link to be able to watch in the app instead of browser.

Yes I'm also suffering this problem. On network or WiFi on all browsers. Pain in the arse!

Flash doesn't lag on the GS3. But it does freeze frequently. If it lags then very likely you aren't actually using flash but the html5 player instead.
Netflix app does not actually use nor is dependant on flash. Also uninstalling flash completely, so that videos that do play, default to html5, still freeze while sound keeps playing, which leads to conclusion that it's not flash issue.

Try ICS Browser+ from Google play...
Flash videos did lag for me initially, so I tried clearing the application data but that wasn't possible. So I installed flash 10, which was incompatible, then updated it using Google Play to flash 11 and it seems to work better now.

[Q] How to get vimeo videos to be displayed?

Hallo everybody,
I am not able to display Vimeo video's at my Samsung Galaxy S2(ICS - 4.0.3. - not rooted).
I installed other browsers like Dolphin, Opera, Chrome, but nothing works. The video's are suites for mobile devices.
I stille get the error "This video can't be played with your current setup. Please switch to a browser that providers native H.264 support or install Adobe Flash Player.".
I can't install Adobe Flash Player, because it is't compatible with the S2.
What can I do? Is it possible to play Vimeo video's on the S2?

Hi Yanekx,
You also have to enable the mobile option at your video in Vimeo.

What about videos that are hosted on Vimeo but are embeded on another site like tumblr . Those wont work either. I have the latest flash player from the adobe archive, installed the latest Mozilla Firefox browser (said to be able to play H264 encoded videos), Opera (not the mini version) and ... urgh .. Chrome, yet still ... my S II wont run the videos. Tested on a HTC, they work flawlessly. I use Vodafone stock 4.0.4 ROM, non rooted. I did see however that on one Vimeo forum, one of the "staff" guys said that they are currently working on this issue (working that has been going on for apparently a year or so) but still no ETA on when it will be solved.

[Q] videos not streaming via chrome or internet on note 2

Hi.. this is my first post on xda. Not sure if im in the right forum topic.
Im using Note 2 -android 4.1.2.
Ive come across an unusual problem today. I tried streaming videos and none of the videos are playing on both chrome and the defalt internet app. I always used the default browser video player
When a video is clicked to play, the usual black screen appears but thereafter it just keeps loading with the circle going round in the middle (attached screen). But nothing happens. I have not installed any other apps since before nor any other mods.
What I have already tried.
I have resetted app preference under app manager and stil the same issue
Tried installing MX player and tried to load the strea ming video via mxplayer still same issue.
Appreciate your help.
