Ok. I just got through searching the forums and the net and came up empty handed so I am going to guess that this is not possible right now. But just in case I'm wrong, I thought I would post my question here where the experts live. Here's the question:
Q. Shy of downloading the video and playing it back with a different application, is there any way to change the playback speed of a YouTube or embedded video upon first launch in Android?
I have explored the html5 route and no Android browser I found can do this.
I also explored some different applications claiming to offer this but none were actually able to change the video playback speed without first downloading the video.
I have something like this for my PC now. It would be very nice for my GN3.
Thanks.

I really want to know this too. Surely a solution exists now?
The latest Firefox for Android supports variable speed playback on pluralsight.com. Nothing else I tried would.

answer me. When i go on my wi-fi and browsing through the sites some
sites are really messed up looking, i mean like everything is out of place.
Is it because the site doesnt support mobile surfing or do i need a program

no browser as yet (correct me if I am wrong) is capable of correctly displaying flv video content within the browser windows (flv movies as used in YouTube and similar sites)
I did manage to get a version of Web&Walk to do it some time ago but it stopped after a short time.Even then it only allowed a tiny part of the video to be played.
Best way at the moment as I'm led to believe is the following

I purchased the digital version of Alice In Wonderland. It does play on the HD2 with Windows Media Player. When I tap menu, then full screen, the movie plays in landscape, but does not fill the entire screen. There is black on all 4 sides of the picture. I looked in options, and there is a check mark in the box for "scale to fit window".
Is anyone else having this problem? What am I doing wrong?
Thanks
I did search for an answer but found nothing. Why isn't my movie filling the entire screen?
Same Problem
Okay I'm finally getting back to my same old problem. No one responded before so here are more details.
Searches tell me that the HD2 will play wmv right out of the box. That's true if you use Windows Media Player. I can't get HTC Sense to even find my wmv file when I point the album right at the correct folder!
So I play the wmv with Windows Media Player and it won't go full screen.
Is anyone else having this problem? What's going on?
mmm every one knows windows media play is ****...try core player or TCMPC players their the best for watching video files
Thank You

Thanks for the reply. I've seen coreplayer recommended but there is no trial version to see if it will take this wmv to full screen. I'll look at TCMPC. Do you happen to know if either of them play videos full screen on the HD2?
I finally blew off the digital version that came with the DVD. I took the DVD and ripped it to a mp4 using DVDFab7. I have no idea if I've selected the ideal settings but it worked. I can play Alice full screen using the HTC Album.
trial version to see? yes it plays full screen..
1st rule google.com
2nd Search
3rd rule trial and error
3rd ur wasting my time and others time by posting this instead of actually reading descriptions and searching around!
hence why u had no replys
Wow, I cant help in anyway here, but I think the response given is totally uncalled for...
Of course I searched!

Of course I want a trial version to test it out. I could waste a lot of money buying every single app I want to try. I did search around and saw posts here and on other sites that said coreplayer doesn't have full screen acceleration.
I always search, I'm not new to xda.
Thank you Gstq10000, for your reply.
well for ppl who want things to happen things happen...soz i found a trial version of core before i bought cause i actually googled it...
it would be one less worthless thread on xda if ppl read the rules and used google and xda search
To the OP: What it sounds like you're experiencing is a resolution conflict. I've recently been experiencing this as well, and the "quick fix" solution was to reduce my display resolution when watching one of those videos. While I have little doubt that it has to do with the codec used to encode the video, I don't have a solid explanation for why it is that some videos have a maximum resolution after which they simply refuse to fit to the screen whereas other videos of similar resolution are all too happy to scale to fit even if it means enlarging the pixels so the video will fill the screen.
Perhaps a more knowledgeable traveler could shed some light on why this occurs if not also on a more permanent practical solution.
**Edit** I apologize for the necromancy. I failed to check the last post date before submitting this reply.
I'm pretty sure I am not breaking the cardinal sin of asking a stupid question with an answer right in front of me. If I am, I am truly sorry. I searched, and did not find any threads on this.
I recently modded my TP with CM7 (I'm very new to all this). Everything went fine, no issues here.
I plan to use it to play video's from time to time, pre-loaded in case there is no net at the location, etc. I use astro file manager on my phone, and since I love it, I grabbed it for the TP also. Problem is, it really seems like it cant see anything.
I am thinking the folder path mappings are off or something? I see that I can define where I want "external storage" to look, (default is... /mnt/sdcard)?
I even tried to take a screenshot and got... "Error: /mnt/sdcard/tempshot.bmp (Permission denied)" Screenshot saved to null
Anyone know what I'm missing? Thanks!
-- Ps, if I can get this sorted out, my main question was which video files are supported for playback with this CM7 rom through the TP.
These were answered before, but for the most part buried in threads. Your external SD is actually listed as EMMC and it's not in your primary directory, you actually have to go up one.
Android should play most formats it would normally, but as this is still alpha, there is no hardware video acceleration, so anything higher resolution then a internet video will most likely be choppy.
There are some video players that people have had luck with, and overclocking the processor also can help until we get hardware acceleration.

Ah ok. I was somehow able to get the stock filebrowser to see my directories without a problem after I poked around a bit. I then ran into what you already answered for me . Video's do indeed seem choppy... I think I'll try to reduce the quality of an avi I have and see how that go's.
I'm not ballsy enough to OC anything. It took me a lot of guts to flash the damn thing anyway, thanks for the heads up though.
-- figured I'd post how it turned out.
I used Xilisoft HD Converter and converted using the android specific output setting, and 640x480, runs great using double twist.
Hey all.
Just wanted to share with you a series of youtube videos I'm doing covering all aspects of the TFP. I'm well aware that many of you in this forum are far more knowledgable than me about getting the best out of the prime but it's thanks to little help posts and stuff that I've learned the things I've learned so I thought I'd share my knowledge as I learn more and more and enjoy what the prime has to offer. I've tried using the youtube link button but it doesn't seem to set them up as videos so I guess you'll have to use the links. I'll update this thread as and when I make more videos. Thanks for watching and commenting in advance
Thanks
THANKS. AS I ran out of them. YouTube button is easy to use. Just press it. Then add the YouTube video code in the middle. Make sure no spaces are in-between. I had a hard time at first figuring it out. The spaces are what messed me up. Now its very easy to do and works. It would be better for you to convert links to embedded videos. To keep everything centralized and within this thread. If I get a chance, I might look into converting them for you. It is alot of videos though..lmfao. or I might make you a little how to on it.
Will be checking these out soon.
Thanks for your efforts.
Setting up a bluetooth mouse
Here's another one

And here's an attempt with the youtube button. Still doesn't seem to work for me
See only this part " jethnymDlmY" needs to go in-between [YOUTUBE]exAmplecode[YOUTUBE] Best way is go to desktop YouTube site. Then on video page, click share that's underneath video. A code will pop up like the one you just tried to post. Instead of the whole thing, only grab the last part of code /last part. Then come back here. Make your post. Press YouTube button. Then paste code exactly in the middle. Make sure no spaces. Then press OK or whatever and video should be embedded. That's exactly what I did with what I saw you try to post. Put last part of code in between both [YOUTUBE][YOUTUBE] And here's the embedded video
Awesome. Thanks for that. I've worked out how to fix it - done one video. I'll do the rest soon.
Videos now fixed and embedded. Thanks to demandarin. More videos coming soon

Hi there, not to disrupt the cleanliness of your thread here, but:
Did you happen to catch the app that would let us stream chosen content (say YouTube as the most obvious) over other apps? I'm pretty sure I remember just such an app being named at some point and have since lost the thread.
Don't know to be honest. Sorry
This is a two-parter. Things didn't go quite as planned because of the tablet and applications. That's why I did it though; to show if it could be done, how difficult it could be to do and what the final end product would look like. It shows how, productivity wise, tablets just still aren't up to the task.
The first video is actually the final product of me recording stuff with the Prime tablet and editing it together using the Movie Studio app.
The second video is of me editing the first video together.

A pretty cool news app here for you. News Republic.
MX Video and Swipepad
Two vids today. One about MX Video
The second is about an application I came across after it being mentioned on here actually: Swipe pad - a very cool task switcher/app launcher app.
Today's video is a look at a variant of the News Republic app I did a few days ago. This one is called Appy Geek.
might be time to make vids of newer apps n stuff. like overskreen, stickit, etc...more hardcore apps that'll gain interest. also, how come you just don't organize all your videos into the OP? instead of being spread throughout the thread where posts integrate with them and vids will be lost in the pages.
just a tip. good work regardless
I have a new 1.5g dual sim clone s4. It is running Jellybean 4.2.1. Everything works well except for Netflix. Youtube runs great, video capture is good. I read the forums and did a search, most of the info is before this type of chip is used. I need help fixing the phone. netflix will only do audio, and it will show the captions. We can use the tool bar to fast froward the movie and it will show the movie clips, yet when it buffers to that point in the movie it will buffer and the screen goes dark (video won't play at all) but my question is this, WHY? what had occurred in the chinese making these knockoffs that this would happen? I have tried older versions of Netflix, called netflix, troubleshot the phone with them and no luck.
I have rooted my kindle, I have rooted my HP pad, but this seems to be a minor issue with the phone and 4.2?
Simply reloading a new rom or "here's a new download" doesn't answer the question of why is this happening???? Is it a simple fix I am not seeing? These phones are unlocked and supposedly rooted already, what am I missing? Thanks from a father who wants to learn............
