This maybe the dumbest question I come up with, but where's the video player in this phone?! I ended up downloading a different one from the Play store, but I just wanted to ask the question to see where the vid player is.
There's one that I tried, but it said I am not within the region to use it or something similar to that.
its in the app drawer i think. htc watch or watch havent used it yet so im not sure
nm its in the tv app just scroll right to my videos

Yeah, I tried the HTC Watch and Watch and those both said that my region is not supported when it started... I'll check out the TV app, though, and see how it compares to the one I downloaded.
Play Movies & TV is what I used to test before downloading my normal player.

So, I put bamf remix on the phone the night I got it so never got a chance to look at the original DLNA app, but have noticed there isn't one in the Rom. Is there a particular reason why, or a way to get it back? I downloaded an app, twonk I think, but it sucks. Any better solutions? Also I know on phones with hdmi out you could show your screen copied directly and play games on the tv. Can you do this over DLNA? Thanks.
i would like to know this as well
Connected Media in the app drawer. Is that what you're looking for?

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 ;-)

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.

I agree with Habarug, you can't play HD youtube videos on your phone, and still, i have no idea how to do this with my Hero

They should work if HD is turned off, but it doesn't seem to do so :/ I have no idead
this is just a suggestion for anyone that is having the same issues as me, which is simply constant lag/buffering issues with the stock youtube app. running on what i felt was a fast enough internet connection, i would constantly have buffering issues both on HD and non-HD (a lot more consistently with HD).
after looking for weeks, i found an app called TubeMate (http://goo.gl/mzrZT)
it is currently only available via the amazon app store. it seems to have a few other features besides viewing the videos (like downloading, downloading as mp3, etc..) but all i really care for is being able to stream a video in HD quality w/out looking embarrassed.
hopefully this will help some of you that are also experiencing this issue. if you aren't, well i'm really happy for you.
Since its a free app, upload the apk.
didn't realize DLing from the amazon appstore would be a big deal. but here you go.

I could be wrong but when I downloaded it the page said a "paid app free a day". Does that mean its a paid app?

you can get it here for free
http://www.androidfreeware.net/get-youtube-tubemate.html
for the guys involved in this thread so far, are you also experiencing buffering issues with your prime and if so, let us know if TubeMate helps out. i've certainly seen a HUGE improvement with all youtube videos to a point where i only stream HD now.
The app works great and also allows you to download video or save it as an .mp3
I have used this app for years on all my devices and on my prime since I purchased it. Wouldn't use anything else great app

i have installed latest tube mate app but can not download any video. it gives an error.
screen shot is attached.
please help
I use it to download videos, not stream. The UI is rather ugly ;P
Can someone clarify: Is this app a REPLACEMENT app that uses youtube (what I think it is)? Or is it an app that somehow optimizes the native youtube app (what I hope it is)?

it's another app that does not optimize the youtube app.
while i love it and still use it, i must put my disclaimer that the issue with the laggy youtube ended up being the Wifi/BT issue. beyond that, it still speeds up buffering better than the stock app.

I haven't had any real problems with streaming vids, but I might check it out regardless. Faster buffering is always nice.

Okay, just wanted to thank you for pointing out the app. It's great, love it. I' ve hit the thanks button.
the ui is ugly in this app but it works amazingly faster than stock app. plus it lets you download the videos or you can download them as mp3 to listen in music player. works great. I love the look of stock YouTube app but sick of the buffering on some vids. I have high speed wireless so no reason it should be buffering like that. this app eliminates that basically.
whenever i click to watch a video in tube mate it pops up asking me which player to use - youtube or tubemate- i choose tubemate but then the video doesnt load...anyone else had this problem>?
should be called buffer be gone!!
Gotta say +1000000 for this app, I use Crackle to watch some movies, took away all the buffering, youtube too no more buffering..... excellent app!!!
I'm looking for an app similar to screenshots but for video for instructional videos and such that will record what I'm doing on screen. any help would be awesome
Hmm.. hope you get a good reply, it'd be interesting to try out!

I did a google search and found this app....haven't tried it though
http://www.android-markets-info.com/helpful-tools/android-screen-video-capture
I also see one in Google Market...but says it doesnt work with Tegra 3...I'd watch that cause eventually he will update it for Tegra 3
There is an app called "MyMobiler"...He just did an Android update, but the Prime needs to be rooted (and I am not). It will put the Prime screen on your computer monitor, and you can control it with your mouse....and anything you can do on the prime (including copy/paste, etc) can be done from the computer....With that, you could use your computer capture app to capture that portion of the screen. I used to use it with my Win 6.5 phone and took some videos with it. Hopefully the anroid version will work.
The website for that is:

Good luck

I'm thinking of try to do this, but curious how do you see this working? Playing videos on phone storage, like a standalone player? or browsing videos on the phone? or something else?
Let's be clear I can't write a netflix or amazon app or any other proprietary streaming service.

On the original Gear, i could simply transfer videos into the pictures folder on the Gear, they would show up in the Gallery, and then I could play them.
Very simple.
Thank you for considering giving this a try!

There is a video folder on the Gear S already we just have to have it connected to the computer in order to use it so if you could unhide it somehow or integrated it with gallery

That doesn't mean the Gear S can play videos?. I would think that the Gear would need a player of some type and maybe Flash or Java?.

I did take a video that I made and converted it to a 3GP format. Tried to send it to my watch using gear but gear didn't recognize the video so I emailed it to a buddy who in turn text me with the video as a attachment and you are right. it did play just fine on the Gear S.
If there was a App that could see the video files on the gear, I would assume that if it was saved in the 3gp format it would be able to play. not sure about other video formats, I could play around with it and see if it will play something other than the 3GP.

Ok I'm waiting for some feedback on my other app, so I'm gonna switch gears for a bit and explore the video aspects. I'll report back wehn I know something.
Update:
So this how far I got in a couple hours.
Can access Video Folder
Can definitely write a video app to list and play videos from the folder
can rotate video to landscape or play portrait(Haven't figured out fullscreen yet)
Play MP4 with issue, should play MKV as well.
Plays Audio
We should easily be able t browse files on the phone as well and autodownload.
I'll do some more testing of video capabilities. More info to come.
You can see a demo here

Now for the bad news, this type of app needs to go through the samsung app store and I'm still waiting on myb dev setup for this. As soon as I get set up I will clean this up and release it through samsung, but it may take a while
Fantastic!

That looks great! You mentioned in your post about Portrait/Landscape....... If you do develop this, please let us have the option of either.....I prefer portrait, simply because when the watch is on your wrist, the is the normal viewing angle.
Thank you so much!!!!!

The video player has been submitted to the app store. This version will be free with no restrictions. If I make a more advanced edition it will be a different app, so you can continue to enjoy the free edition.
Now we're just waiting on Samsung......

Yeah this is my first attempt at submitting to Samsung. I have not idea how long it takes or how often they reject apps and for what reasons. We'll see.
This one is pretty simple so hopefully it won't take too many go arounds.
I was surprised to find my app works just as well on my gear 2.

If they say no(I can't imagine why) I will post the code. The app has moved to the next step in their process. Still no idea how much longer it will take.
Update: It has moved one step further in the process. it is now in "Under test verification"
