[Q] Youtube video quality went bad after flashing. - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I flashed the newest OmniRom kitkat to my galaxy SII and everything is working perfectly except for the youtube app ....the videos are now pixelated and I can't seem to find anything about this subject online.
Videos work fine on the browser or videos that I downloaded..it's just the Youtube app that is pixelated..any solution for this?

It is known bug and no solution at the moment. You can use YouTube HD app wich is modded official 4x app. You can find it here at the forum. You can use also any different apps from play store - all of them work fine.

You can download Viral YouTube app. It's free and you don't need to flash it here:

YouTube not working

My GTab is running stock 3.1 I found as a CWM flash here after going to TW and not liking it. I remember being able to use YouTube on tw now that I am back on stock it won't work, justkeeps saying there was a problem loading try again. I doubt they are related somehow but can anyone help me out. I can't find it in the market so I can't uninstall and redownload. Maybe someone can post the apk so I can uninstall and try again? Any other ideas to fix would help.

Videos won't even play on the website. This is really weird!

Do videos work in any app? On my old Gtablet I flashed a "bad" ROM and lost all video playability.
Try clearing data on YOUTUBE as well as FLASH.
Clearing YouTube data worked. Thanks for the suggestion!

I am facing peculiar problem with Youtube on my Galaxy tab 10.1 3.1version. The youtube application plays a different video rather than the depicted one. Mostly the links play adult clips. Whatever i search only those different clips play but not the searched one. Anyone please help.

Super Video, Floating & Popup

I originally found this on the N7000 forum.
If you have seen the ability to watch a video while doing another task for the Samsung Galaxy 3, then this is it.
Pretty much the same deal. Works well with the Note i717.
I am running the Hybrid ROM in Tablet mode and this app works great.
You can find this app in the Play Store. Here's a demo vid - copied link from app description.

The split screen ability in the Note 10.1 would be another great feature to have now...
Great find
Here is the link for those who like clickies -> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=gpc.myweb.hinet.net.PopupVideo
Thank the OP, not me

Its an awesome app.
Btw, this app already comes pre-installed in the HYFR B4 ROM.
Is it safe for an app to collect a device's imei to their server? The EULA claims that it is used to verify the device. It is in the privacy policy.
thats similar to stickit..i have used for a while now.. idk which one is better though

the one you posted is better looking..im trying it out now!!
Compared to Stick It, this app is better. I really like it! Great Find!

What's the name of the video player? Because I've used only1 rom from the beginning and I've never seen that feature.

OK all, while this app seams to have everything I would want it has one major thing I don't want LAG. just wondering is it doing this to everyone or just me? What I mean is this, when it plays a video it plays about 2 sec then buffers, but in the youtube app the same video will play with no issues. I am useinf the free version and have un installed and re installed it already. Also I am getting throttled speeds on ATT however as I have said youtube works just fine. Any ideas?

I haven't experienced any lag as of yet. Both on Flapjaxxx's UCLE2 and CM9.
@spade1031
No lag here and I'm still on FJ's GB ROM.
With more use I've noticed it seems to be only YouTube and only.the hd videos, any other site with hd works fine and the YouTube app with hd works fine. Might just be that I'm throttled, I'll post back after my new bill cycle and update. Just asking is anyone else throttled and working right? By the way I'm only getting hspa+ in my area. But still a GREAT app for anyone, thanks again for sharing.

EDIT: working fine now that I'm not throttled
Been playing with this for a couple days, pretty cool, no real issues to report on paranoid android.
Full screen low framerate
App: Supervideo (HW Decode)
I am experiencing low frame rate when switching to full screen. When the video is floating, it's perfectly fine.
Is there anything I can do to fix this?
App: MX Player (Free)
Full screen is perfectly fine.

[Q] m.youtube error, need help.

Hi, I've tried a lot of roms and I noticed that this error doesn't desapear.
When I go to m.youtube.com and try to play some video I get this error:
"Cannot play video.
Sorry this video cannot be played."
I tried every single rom and the issue persist.
Do anyone know how to fix this?
I hate the quality of the 360p "HQ" quality of the youtube apk. And the 720p apk doesn't work for me.
Thanks.

If u have SQL lite app, u can open the database for Google services framework and in one of the databases there are settings for YouTube to use a proxy. You can try disabling it. Just going from memory. Let me know if u need more detailed directions. Not sure exactly what that really changes but worth a try.

I was searching for a thread about youtube problems and I found 4 of them.
Is there any solutions?!?!? I'm on Neutrino 2.9 and with any browser, except opera mobile and firefox, I keep getting the message "Sorry this video cannot be played" it's really annoying so I beg you all, if someone knows how to fix this please help!
It seems that all the browser do not redirect the video to the youtube app (vimeo video works flawlessly)

Video player / you tube problems

I recently broke my phone and had it repaired, now I can not play any videos using stock app, including videos record using my phone. Also you tube videos will play for a second then pixelate and say unable to play video. I've tried playing you tube from the browser, but still nothing. Now I can play my videos I record using v player, but I would like the others to work. Please help

Please tell us your current rom version ....and kernel please ...
It's nearly impossible to trouble shoot this problem without more information.
In addition ...are you rooted, if so have you fixed permissions for your apps, and is your YouTube apk the latest version ..
These problems can be troublesome, and I'm sorry for all of the questions, but it helps rule out the obvious problems first ...g
I'm not rooted, using stock ROM 4.0.4 ICS, kernel 3.0.8. Yes latest you tube apk

Try reverting your YouTube apk to the previous version in the play store ....by uninstalling the update ....
Then don't allow automatic updates ..
Also ...go into your player apk, and YouTube apk under the applications menu and wipe the cache and data for both apps ....then reboot to test ....g

Force YouTube APP too play 480p

Hello,
Since my Internet is too slow to play videos on the youtube app in "HD" and the "no HD" option looks bad, is there any option to force the youtube app to play videos in 480p? I am missing detailed settings for the video quality in every HTML5 environnement. Using flash is no alternative for me, cuz its bugged on my device. Maybe there is an alternativ YouTube App i havent allready discovered?
Hope you can help me.
Ps: Sry for the bad english.
Tried tubemate? Extensively used to download YouTube videos but it can play em too! All resolutions!
Ps - It's not present on play store. Download from tubemate.net
Download only from www.tubemate.net
There are many fake malware versions in the Play Store and other sites.

You need tubemate as mentioned above...

Hey guys. Thanks for the tip. Well I now can download videos in every resolution I want, but it seems tubemate uses the same engine to play vids compared to the YouTube APP. So i can only chose between HD and some ugly resolution.
Yeah, maybe. I never use Tubemate to play videos. If the YouTube app doesn't do it for me, I download the video.
