[ 2.2 only ): ] YouTube! <Updated with UI overhaul> On Market! [Google Standalone]
http://www.appbrain.com/app/youtube/com.google.android.youtube
above is the appbrain link. alternatively you can search YouTube on the Android Market to update your YouTube!
it's awesome.
watch videos while reading comments! or go fullscreen! always view videos as HQ!* UI overhaul! words cannot describe it. go check it out!
still can't comment in-app though. awesome nonetheless!
edit: *just found out that the update is only for android 2.2 ): Eclair users will still have to manually switch to HQ. sorry ):
how were u able to update?
im still getting installation unsuccessful even after removing the stock youtube.apk JPM...
Can you share the .apk file here please.
Thanks
Edit. All good I just had to reboot after deleting..
Works fine here, downloaded onto my JP6 firmware.
App is great, but the widget is too huge... doesn't match all my other widgets at all If it were smaller it would be great, has transparency and all.
This should be it.
And the best thing is:
Playback during LOCKSCREEN!!!!!!
This should be the first UI change for gingerbread! i hope it is!
Very nice
The new youtube app is wicked the play it plays a small video when in portrait mode i love it.....
Installation was unsuccessful at first when downloaded straight from the market...figured it had something to do with the current youtube app I still had so I uninstalled that and tried again and installation went fine this time.
It looks GREAT! And videos seem to load faster now for me with this app..or maybe I'm just imagining things. Either way, it's a huge step forward. Super polished. Great stuff! Here's to hoping this an indication of how sleek and polished Gingerbread will be.
I get a network error [400]both on wifi and 3g...
Market just let me update from old to new.
No need for any uninstall.
Installed with no problems, running a JPM/JP6 voodo pre 6 concoction
For those who cant get this working......its froyo 2.2 only!....sigh

I don't see any option for HD video. There is "HQ" but it's definitely not giving 800x480 (480p) resolution.
I don't know why they don't enable it, this and some other phones should be perfectly capable of streaming 480p.

The HQ logo must be red colored i think...
it was working in the previous version..
Great improvement. But it would be better if it cames as an automatic update.
By the way the videos are not HD but HQ

Hello Guys
Any pk missing you can find it in slideme,org, Thanks my Friends from Romania
This new app is wayyy better than the older one... Also, do you think that they're finally using the GPU for this app, as everything (including scrolling) is VERY smooth
If Gingerbread is this smooth, I'll be extremely happy.

why is the android app for youtube so incredibly bad?
Whats the difference (I haven't tried the iphone youtube app).
used both before, and I dont see much of a big difference in both? Reasons for saying so?
When you go to a different point in a video using an iphone or an ipod touch the video doesn't take anywhere near as long to load. Also when the video is fully loaded if you go to a different point in the video it loads straight away.
However, with the android youtube app if you go to a different point in the video it doesn't load straight away even though the vid has fully loaded.
That's my major gripe. Also the seek bar on the android youtube app isn't as accurate.

Seems perfectly fast for me... less than 2 secs if it needs to buffer, and less than a sec if its already buffered.
there are Lots of Android YouTube Apps, which one are you talking about?

He is probably referring to the pre-installed youtube app... which works perfectly fine for my SGS.. not slow as the TS says..
the preinstalled one is very poor, the actually website is better than the app/

...my one´s also working like a charm. Maybe it depends directly to your network. Even WiFi or HSDPA working fast and smooth, w/o any problems.

You mean HD quality? There is an option in 2.2 but in 2.1 you'll have to use some Youtube HD apk...
There is an option in 2.1?
I have mine set to high quality as default?
Ah I didn't know that. There wasn't an option in JM1 and before so I thought there isn't an option in 2.1 today, too. Sorry. 'Cause a lot of custom roms offer this as a feature for 2.1.
How did you set it to high resolution?

Hello,
on JF3 you had to hit the menu button during you where watching the video, and (that´s what´s i remember) there where an option to watch in HD.
On Froyo it´s on default if you where online in Wifi network.

Here: http://hotfile.com/dl/76354711/484d5ec/YouTube_v1.6.19e.apk.html
Download and install this Youtube client if you're on Eclair.
Here is the same with wifi on the Youtube clips are by default played in HD resolution.

Just look for it in the market, it will update the built in one.
does any one have the latest youtube .apk file on the market? v2.0.26
I tried to update but failed on installation..
Hmm... try deleting the original .apk from the system...
Back it up too*
Tried both removing it and trying the market again. and downloading the apk and trying to install it (which also failed)
Also tried to install via adb..
pkg: /data/local/tmp/com.google.android.youtube.v2.0.26.apk
Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_UPDATE_INCOMPATIBLE]
Not sure what to try next...
Edit: got it working....
Removed the original app.. Renamed the apk of the new app to YouTube.apk copied it to /system/app then install from the market over top (mostly so it has the market link for new updates)
I'm on jm6 and it worked perfectly from the market. No issues whatsoever.
There is an option to set all videos as hd from the settings in the app.

Works with JPM aswell.
deleted, posted in wrong youtube thread
Thats odd.. I'm running JPM.
Where the option for HD in settings ? I don't see that?
Just wanted to let everyone know about this thread. This modified APK allows for HD YouTube playback without having to change the LCD density of the screen. Be sure and DL the 2.4.4 version for Froyo/GB.

I have this version of YouTube installed on my phone and it works flawlessly.

Well, it's not really a leak since the source is available - the XBMC guys have chosen not to make an APK available yet because it's not complete (lack of hardware accelerated video playback comes to mind). Anyway, the APK is from here: https://www.miniand.com/forums/forums/1/topics/136. It may be worth looking there from time to time as they say they plan to keep the APK updated.
Interesting. Wonder if the skins work like the linux version

So far iv only used 3 skins, 2 work perfect and the 3rd also works but there are some menus you cant assess like when you press left arrow on remote/keys.
Its not playing my MP3 over WIFI but it plays Videos in MKV and other file formats with sound but low FPS,
Movies,Pictures and most other things work fine when played from the SDcard/stick
UI is very small but usable.
Looks very promising

Im finding the menu issue is present with my favourite skin... Neon. Although I can get the sideways ones to pop out sometimes. I eventually managed to get the movies into slide view.... After lots of swiping and button pressing. I still dont know what made it pop out. Havent managed to get the to pop up when the view menu is at the bottom though so I cant get out of slide view.
All my mkvs etc play awesome straight from my network drive smooth as hell looking great

Crashes
Anybody else tried playing with this?
I had an old version that ran, but after downloading the nightlies lately, non of them run, they crash with an error that they can not load libxbmc.so, I checked the app libs folder and it is present and non-zero but it still doesn't load.
Anyone have any idea why?
My GS3 is stock, rooted 4.0.4 (BLG8).

Whats up XDA!..... Its your boy Jose.... Im making this thread because I have seen some people wanting to get play 1440p videos from YouTube... Well every since the new Youtube Update it killed the 1080p and also 1440p Resolution .... I don't know why Google did that...
But anyways here is how to get old Youtube (Previous Version) into your Device and enjoy that Beautiful Screen
Now this is the way that I got mine to work ...
1. Delete your Recent YouTube from inside your Device .... "Uninstall it" or Use "Root Explorer Pro" or any file explorer ..
2. Uninstall all YouTube updates .... ReBoot...
3. Install the Youtube apk that I provided (Or any other Version that supported 1440p) ReBoot Final time ...
4 Enjoy ...

Crap... Mods can you guys move this thread to the correct place ....
Oh and also forgot to say ....
**Make sure you disable Auto Updates from the Play store**
Anyway to remove update from play store? Would like for it to never update.

Here is a UHD video I shot yesterday with my note4 at the airshow in Ft.Worth TX. Blue Angels. This was the first time using the video camera. There are plenty of good parts and some just flat out blurry parts. Zooming in while chasing a fighter jet a mile away was actually not to hard. Given some practice I could make a much better video. There's this one below and other 1080 vids of the airshow
"Ft. Worth Alliance air show 10-2514 HD" on YouTube

After installing the new app from here,try going and clearing app data in application manager, then re-install it, reboot,,try again

Try deleting your cache your application data ... Reboot install ...
Did all that no go.... I mean ive never even been able to get 1080p and ive always had the best of the best in phones
Wierd! I had this working before with stock rooted but now that I run FireKat rom I top @ 720p too!
I have cleared data and cache and also boot into recovery to fix permissions to no avail!
I had all the same problems, what fixed it for me was to clear youtube cache and data, uninstall then reboot......then go back and uninstall any updates again, then navigate with root explorer to system/app and delete the youtube.apk from there, then reboot again and install the version in this thread......then for the hell of it wipe youtube app cache and data followed by a final reboot.......then it worked.
Hope this helps
It works. You just have to make sure all reminisce of the app are gone. Then reboot install and reboot again. On our phones 720 and 1080 look about the same honestly
You have to delete all your YouTube data to make it work if not its still gonna be doing the samething ....
Here you go it's there but I am not able to select 1080 or 2k SO it's worthless.....
