whatever video I try to play let it be my camera video, YouTube, other videos on web just a black screen is visible or just the video thumbnail. The audio of the video plays right and yeah I can get to see the controls on the screen. This is really annoying. Get me a solution for this!:crying:

For camera videos,maybe you could just download mx player from play store and give it a try.
For youtube and web,I prefer you to download puffin browser from play store and reply me weather it works or not.

I know it has been a while, but I'll suggest the solution that worked for me.
So, if you're having a problem with video playback in various android apps (e.g. you have sound, but no video - just black screen), try freeing some space on your phone. Use an app like FilesGo, CCleaner or CleanMaster, or clean the cache of some apps manually (Youtube, Facebook, Instagram, Soundcloud, etc), or just uninstall some apps you might not need anymore. Then reboot your phone.
Worked for me.
Same problem multiple apps
I have a chinese android car stereo, and am having the same problem.
Youtube, Amazon video work fine. But all other apps like Netflix, Hulu, xumo, Pluto, and vlc give me the black screen with controls and the audio works fine. From what I can tell the radio is running a skimmed down version of android 8.0
Any ideas I'm hoping I can install a missing component and resolve.
I discovered that an app that uses an overlay can cause this problem. Try to disable apps like Fluid Navigation Guestures or Blue Light Filter

So why I can't play youtube in background nor in browser (Not even in tabs wtf?) nor in app? Same with other music sites in browser. Also if I lock the screen music goes...
I got felling I don't have multitasking phone. But music can be played in background. I believe there is some mod or app that can do this? Dude we are in 2011 and s2 is one of most powerful phones. So what are guys at google thinking?
So what I need to do in order to play youtube music in background?
Feel free to voice your concerns eloquently to Google, http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/list
You cannot play youtube videos in the background, your alternatives would be to listen to music from music sources (isn't that what people normally do?) or download the music from the videos manually.
Your post is slightly confusing but am i right in thinking that the main issue here is that YouTube will for some reason not play on your phone yeah, it may sound very obvious but are you sure you have an Internet connection, have you tried with
WiFi?
I can think of absolutely no reason as to why YouTube will not work on your phone unless somehow your phone has become corrupted, i have the YouTube app and also YouTube in my browser and both play fine.

no, he means he can play youtube but as soon as doing anything else on the phone youtube will stop playback. Its the same with all our GS2s, even if you open youtube in a browser tab as soon as you navigate away from that tab to do something else, (even staying in the browser with a new tab), then youtube stops playback.
I agree it is quite annoying that its not capable of running in the background.

You're better using the TubeMate app.
It'll allow you to download the music/videos and play them as mp3 files on the stock music player. You can then place your samsung galaxy s2 into sleep mode and play music in the background.

That is an answer but do not a solution because do not give us a choice..
Even in my N900 Maemo5 (it is a 2009 Os) I can listen in background all the videos i want plus all the music i want.... All simultaneously.

Agree. This can be an useful app (If I would need to download something on android from youtube) but I still have no solution to the problem.
I want to listen music in background not download it. Or Imagine using s2 as a mp3 player connected to speakers. I would need to download all videos I want to listen. (not practical, time and space consuming...)
Now I still don't get it: Are android engineers so stupid at all, or what is the problem that the thing is still not implemented?
Anyone know if ICS will maybe bring it?

Videos are meant to be watched. Do you not understand this? I've already given you the correct place to report any issues/feature requests you may have. Also, just so you know, calling the devs stupid is idiotic. If you're so smart, write your own software to play videos in the background.
Maybe when you think about it for a few minutes, you'll realise the very idea does not make sense.
When i had the stock rom, i was watching a long video in youtube, then i started shaving, and i put the phone to sleep by pressing the power button, and the video kept playing, i was perplexed because i always wanted this from youtube, to be able to play with your screen off.
Videos are meant to be watched, but reviews and other stuff, or music with just a picture in stead of a video is not meant to be watched, so this would be an usefull app.
Btw: i was on 2.3.4 stock .
personally id like it as i often listen to music via youtube, would be nice to be able to leave it playing while i surfed the web at the same time.
Hey do any of you have the youtube apk for the version before this latest update? I dont like this update it pauses my videos if i lock the screen.. Plz help.. Thanks.

This is such a oversight for the youTube app on my GS2...
Watching a video and lets say I get an email, get a text message (Handcent pop up)...
Video stops playing completely and I have to restart it.... wtf??
Lets say I need to check or write an email / text - App minimizes but closes the video feed and audio with it, forced to restart.
Its annoying and un-needed.

It IS multitasking and to suggest otherwise is just being a troll.
The YouTube app pauses video because IT'S VIDEO!!!
Alternative solutions have already been posted, but people keep harping on about the YouTube app specifically. It is not intended to play videos in the background. It is intended to play videos and then, quite correctly, pause them when you go to do something else, so that when you come back you can continue watching. Videos are for watching.
The problem here is that some people are taking 1 aspect of the YouTube app (namely audio output) and then expecting it to act like apps that are specifically made for audio output. That's stupid, incorrect and unfair.
What the YouTube app does is correct. If you don't like it then complain to Google and let them laugh at you instead.
All that said, I do understand why people are asking for this. It's just wrong to blame the YouTube app for functioning perfectly 100% correct when it simply doesn't do something that you want. It's like complaining that your car doesn't fly.
Anyone that's really bothered by this would probably be better doing some googling on Java, the Android SDK and the YouTube API and then combining that knowledge into a solution that other members of XDA could use.

Thats excactly what i was looking for, only problem is that it doesnt stream in HQ, so the audio quality isnt very good.. Even though youtube is for videos, we should be able to lock the screen without it stopping, like the standard video app, if watching a longer video or listening to music at work and want easy changing of songs
try NextVid... it lets you minimize youtube videos while you use other apps
Sorry if im abit late on this, but this is how i solve this issue, the trick is to use flash instead of html5 (correct me if i am wrong).
1. download Maxthon Browser. (I found this browser allows you to have multiple tabs and flash will play in the background tabs unlike dolphin browser)
2. navigate to youtube (if it direct you to the mobile page, click on the desktop link below)
3. Pressing home button / or changing tabs / or switch to standby will not stop the audio playback (terminating or closing the browser will of course stop the playback)
down side is that if u mess up u could have overlapping audios from various running flash videos or youtube videos.
Using atrix thou.. donnoe if it works for sgs2..
I have been trying to watch recorded Web casts. On my s3 I could like on the video and it would just play it. With the s4 it will sometimes open the video player and I can hear the sound, but the screen is black. Then sometimes it will only download the video, which works, but I don't want to download them. I have tried a bunch of other video players but nothing has worked.
Aby ideas?

Hey everyone,
I've noticed suddenly that I have no sound on any clip playing from a youtube embed. Am I the only one? Thought everything was fine yesterday... Sound settings look ok and Vimeo embeds are working properly. I was checking out this page: http://www.vandijkmultimedia.nl/nieuws-blog/
I've restarted the tab, browser, phone etc. What should I do!
thnx!

I meant neither of those. The Youtube app (apk) works fine, forgot to check the webversion though. The site I mentioned has embedded videos, when played a mobile player starts and the movie plays without any sound. I have eventually removed chrome and re-installed. This has done the trick.
thnx!

Update,
I don't know what is it but when I play video on that Youtube app (v5.3) when I choice HD (and I know in desktop is REAL HD) is streaming poor quality like I don't know... VGA maybe
from CC to HQ is like from very poor quality to poor quality so that was not my point. I want to play 720p or 1080p videos like on desktop
Strange, because I do get pretty good quality, definitely HD (by youtube standards).

The viral floating youtube app doesnt support 480p or 1080p because google splits the streams in to. 720p works flawless and it hasnt any great difference with 1080p.
I forgot to ask you what version of android you have, if you have 4.2 jelly bean then adobe's flash player should work with every browser that supports flash playback (like firefox or dolphin). If you re on 4.4 kitkat though you need the hacked flash player as google removed from 4.4 some critical files that the flash player needed.

Yes i have 4.4 CM11 , like I wroted up, the haked flash work like a charm, but I switch to Dolphin browser because Boat browser do not played all hd videos on YT like I was thinking, but Dolphin does. Overall I think that Boat is beter browser than dolphin, faster, lighter and smoother but is something for something, haked flash player support Dolphin and is somthing in that flash code because videos that I can't watch on Boat are smooth playable on Dolphin.

I use firefox as a browser and if i want to watch youtube videos i switch to dolphin. Dolphin is not bad at all, its the only browser at the moment which can play flash videos in 4.4 kitkat with satisfactory results and supports plugins just like firefox.
Try Og YouTube from XDA. It's a modified Youtube APK.
There you can select the resolution like you do in the webplayer.
I'm running it and it works fine.
The only issue is, that you can't log in with your Google account.

Give viral a try. See sig
Use Flashfox or Firefox and download an add-on called youtube center.
For now I using Dolphin with jetpack and moded fplayer, and YT works like on PC no problem with 720/1080p
I dont really get it , why from the first place google messed up the resolutions.
Seriously... Why is this even a problem. Videos from the YouTube app look terrible. Sucks that we have to find a workaround.

Hi Folks,
This is really got me
I've come from a HTC M7 to a Oneplus 3. The in-browser video on the HTC M7 was great - you were able to control brightness, control the sound and search through the video all via screen gestures. Since moving to the OP3 it has a standard video player that has none of those features. You have to use the old school controls of the video menu bar - there's no gesture control.
I've downloaded MX and VLC but they're only good as standalone players - to play stored content.
It loads the same player on both browsers, Chrome and Dolphin... and it loads the same video player on the HTC :good: and the same player on the OP3
I've tried resetting default apps. I've looked in the App settings but I can't work what app it is that's streams within the browser? Is it part of the OS?
Thank you in advance!
The only thing I've found on this... If you're watching in Firefox, you can tap on the video and it gives you the option to watch it on MX Player... but there's no way to set this as a default?

There's no stock video player listed under apps, well there is, but that's for stand alone saved videos. I got in touch with Oneplus today and they said there's no option to choose within the browser... The guy said that I should suggest it for an update, which I did.
Firefox does let you press on the video and choose to open it in MX, but there's no way to set that as a default... Has to be done each time - bit of a pain.
