Hi,
1) I tried to look at the video site from OEAMTC (Austrian Touring Club) - http://tv.oeamtc.at -and the stock browser is not able to playback the videos there.
Actually I tried Doplhin and Opera as well, same issue. WIth Mozilla I could finally playback (very laggy) and download the files. They are .webm videofiles and can playback with ALL video Appy I have on my phone. Stock as well as QicPic and MX Player.
I also could playback the files when using the stock internet browser on my Nexus S, so any idea why the stock browser on SGS2 makes troubles on these videos???
2.) When opening the accuweather from the widged, then going to more / details, it always opens accuweather in english, altough I set my preference on accuweather homepage to german. Is there any setting identifying the browser to prefer german????? Any setting in Accuweather application that brings up the webpage in German? haven't found anything.
Thanks
Gescha
Can anyone confirm the behavior??

I found out the following:
.webm files cannot be opened with stock file manager, as they seem not to be known (unknown filetype) altough they are known by Rhytm Software'S Filemanager (and can be opend as Video file) or as they can be associated with Astro File Manager.
Is there any way to tell the Samsuns System that this file is a videofile and should be opend with e.g. MX PLayer? I guess then I can directly stream it from Internet application....
Any ideas?
Can anyone check.. would really like to know if this behaviour is normal...
In the meantime I do not expect that there is a possible fix.

ya there is a way..
go to my files and select any video file..
click on it..
a pop-up should appear asking you which program should be used to play the file..
check the use as default button and then select the mx player..
from now on whenever you play a video.. it will open in mx player unless you open it via gallery
also while streaming online you cant select a particular app through which the browser will play the vid..

Thanks. Actually for general purpose I could link MX Player to the .webm fileformat, and that also works.
For the Samsung Stock file browser as well as internet browser it still and immediately tells: this file type not supported, no program can run it....(and this although on astro file manager its already assigned to MX player.) So not even a chance to assign it by the normal way...

I have tried various apps. I have been able to connect to my network browse all files. Its just when I go to play the file it says wrong format. The funny thing is I can place these files on my vibrants SD and play them fine...
I am using trigger redux cm7 and loving it!!!!!
Anyone lol?

Files will stream if they are encoded to do so and are in a format that the vibrant can play. Mp4 files with the file info in the header would be your best bet.
Another option would be to use a streaming server/client solution like box stream and convert.it is available in the market.

What do you mean by "in the header " and I tried getting both those apps couldn't find anything pertaining to streaming or encoding.

When you have the Vibrant then you have AllShare preinstalled...you use it?
Cause with AllShare you can watch all the vids that are on your PC via Mediaplayer...all you have to do is, add the Moviefolder to the Mediaplayer Libary and you are good to go.
I have no trouble at all streaming everything to my phone, only old codec versions like XVID or DIVX are making problems, but those are really old.
There a, song I really want that's on Youtube, is there any way I can just download the audio with a app?

Not with the app, however, there are YouTube to mp3 converters on the internet. I think there is even one on the market

i've used that one in the past. works really well if you want to use your computer
Use JetVD. www.jetvd.com Download the regular version for the option to save both video or audio. Its free. Its an Android app. You have download from the website because the market app is only the lite version.

I use real player to download mp3's from YouTube. It allows you to download the video then has options to convert it to multiple different formats

TubeMate works quite well. You can download videos (even in mp3 format as well) straight to your device. I couldn't find it on the market, but it's a free app so I'll share the apk.

Have you tried Jetvd, that's what I use. Hasn't been available in the market for a while but google-able.

Tubemate, using on CM9 without a problem.

Maybe try using a user script (usersscripts.org) which allows you to download the video, possibly also the audio track? These are snippets of Javascript which inject themselves into specific sites when you're viewing them. I use one named "YouTube to MP4" on Firefox on my desktop PC. Since the Android browsers are fully functional I expect the same option applies there.
For this option, Firefox requires Greasemonkey addon, but I believe it's a native option on Opera and Chrome.
Also try tubeGod(tubex) its no longer in the market so you have to search for it(its free so no problems)
Much better quality than tubemate imo and mp3s dont come as large as tubemate either
I extracted the audio from a video a few days ago
Tubemate(17mb)
TubeGod(1mb)

Thanks guys tube god crashes but tube mate will do for now until I repair my laptop.

Tubemate's file size is big because it downloads the whole MP4 video and renames it as MP3.

may be wm editor doesn't support that format.btw which video format r u trying to edit.u can try other video editor.
...hmm, this is a phone-related problem? I believe it is all about codec.
Copy video to PC download Media Info check codec of file . Install codec pack .
Or use search as question has been asked .

Can't drag or copy and paste file..
Now problem solved by video converter software. Video file has to change format. From mp4 to avi or wmp.

Hello.
I'm looking for a video application that lets you browse your phone/sdcard like a file manager and click on the video files that you want to play.
I know RockPlayer can do this but I wanted to try something else. Does anyone know an app similar to RockPlayer?
Thanks!
Try Mobo Player

Thanks, but it didn't work as I wanted it to. Basicaly I have a few videos that I do not want to show up in the defualt video app so I have put a ".nomedia" file in the folder where these videos are located.
Mobo player found all of these anyway and saved them for easy access.
RockPlayer is perfect really but I'm just fealing a little paranoid I guess, because it has the "Phone Call" permission. Why would a normal video app want to "read phone state and identity"? I'm not sure how it works.
