Is it just me or does the epic not support any video playback aside from Youtube? On Facebook more specifically. I will attempt to view a posted video only to be greeted by my phone saying "This video type is not supported on this device". Yet my girls EVO will generally play the same video.

Wait, are you trying to play flash video on the Stock Epic4g? Because it would work on the Evo with their 2.2 update, but until you update to 2.2 you cannot play flash on the Epic4g.
I think he is talking about mobile videos like from websites that have a url like this m.xxxxxxxxxx.com

Im sorry. I should have included that im running DK28. Maybe ill try flashing back to stock eclair and check if that changes it.

Is there a modded .apk for Netflix floating around somewhere? I had the official on my Inc1, and no official yet for Inc2. I tried a modded .apk from the DX, but all I got was a white screen and no sound.
This is one thing I really miss from my old phone...that and root, lol...but alas I have GB, and I'm stuck.
Thanks guys

If you are in GB there is a patch out there that fixes the white screen. I don't have the link cuz I'm working. If you google search RMK netflix patch u should find it. But you do need root for this to work. If you don't have it sorry for the tease.

I get sound but no video with those.
EDIT: Well after installing the patch it's working great. I'm running gingersense rom.
I'm not rooted, but I'll check out the link in the 2nd post

As I said, I'm not rooted, and there's not an official Netflix.apk for us yet.

Best I could get with any modded apk on XDA was the white screen with sound, but now that I'm rooted, and running CM7 it works fine

Got it from there... when I open it it asks to update and takes me to the official Netflix app in the market, I'd say it IS the official app. But you are right, it isn't for US per se.
I was just letting everyone know that I got it to work without the patch.
I tried all the apks from the second post and none would install.
Sent from my Incredible 2 using XDA App
Yup! That netflix worked without a problem. I copied the APK into my dropbox folder for easy retrieval for anyone else needing it:

Tried it, no dice here. Installed fine, showed my queue. White screen, sound only.

Now the Netflix App is supported in the Marketplace....but I still only get a white screen with audio.

There is a modified skype app in the Hacking and Development section that supports video chat. I think you have to be on a gingerbread leak though. I'm on EG22 and it works great!

I would think it work seeing as how Skype owns qik now. But I could be wrong. Everyone I know has qik on there phones so that's what I use.

Skype works if you're on bamboozle rom. You need to have a modified skype app though. I believe from the I9000 xda thread. Look around.

ooVoo works best for me - but remember one important thing - both of you must be on the same software - if you want ot talk to your friend and he is on ooVoo, you must be on ooVoo - you can also have more than one video chat software on your phone to say accomodate another friend that has Qik, therefore you must be on Qik also.
Found the modded skype video chat its freaking awesome. First acceptable video chat from my epic and all my friends have skype. I'm on eg22 as well

What espn app are you using? I watch videos through my USA Today app just fine. I downloaded ESPN Scoreboard and it redirects me to the browser for videos. A more direct queston to ask, what issue specifically are you experiencing (force closes, random quitting, etc.)?
I'll download whichever app you're talking about to see what's up.
If you do the hulu hack, you would be able to watch videos from about every site. It is just replacing the flash lib. file. Google hulu hack, and it will pop up. I am at work right now, or I would post it. If I remember tonight, I will drop it here for you. Sorry I can't be more helpful. The Dinc plays well with web videos when you trick it out right. Good hunting....

Check out fring
I have never had an enjoyable experience with video chat on froyo. That's the only thing the gingerbread leaks can do better. That said on gingerbread:
Oovoo sucks
Fring sucks
Qik sucks
Modded galaxy skype is good
Gtalk video chati hear is good
However I have no 4g whatsoever so this is all on 3g
Hope this helps

Before searching , is Tango available for Free and on the market ?
Have to agree, and Tango is multi-platform, so works for iPhone users too...
I wouldn't put any of the leaks on her phone. Stick with an ec05 build they're solid. As far as a video chat app Im not sure of one for froyo. I think Skype only allows voice chat for froyo builds, don't quote me on that though.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
skype only works with gb (personally tested it) skype will NOT allow you to video chat with froyo.
it will even provide this statment when you first startup the skype app.
just go to the market and in the search box type "video chat for android" and it will give you all the apps. the only one that i like is skype. it was the only one that worked smooth for me.
SORRY! I COULDN'T POST THE APP LINK PAGE FOR YOU.
Tango works well on wifi/4g. It auto-searches your contacts and creates a list of who else has it.
That's what I use

I've got GTalk, but it doesn't seem to want to let me use video. My girlfriend is always on GTalk and I would kill to be able to show her what the hell I'm talking about when I'm shopping and I need her to tell me which item to throw in the cart.
I'm on a GB ROM, so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.
PS: To anyone wondering why only certain programs can do video chat on Froyo, it's because GB includes an APK that allows the OS to grab video from the FFC and provide it to the application asking for it. On Froyo, the app has to be written specifically to be compatible with the device to use the FFC.
here is a thread with modified youtube w/hd that i can confirm works on stock cm9 a5. he also has version for froyo/gb but i have not tested those personaly but should work. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1529715 i am running the wifi 3g black theme and works perfect. hd looks amazing. make sure download is apk and not zip. i had to download to computer then transfer to phone to get proper file. be sure to thank op of original thread for awesome work.
Seems to work for me just fine on CM9 A5. Only issue now is that Sprint's data connection, at least in my area, is horrid.
i have to use roam control anytime i watch videos.
Didn't the market update to 2.4.4 allow for HD playback?

"The catch is that YouTube HD res won't work on every Android 2.2 or 2.3 phone or tablet, as we're told it is set dynamically based on screen size and resolution." Richard Lawler engadget
Aha
I can confirm the Modified Youtube APK WIFI+3G working on Stock Rooted EL30 for the Epic 4G. Instead of the usual High Quality, the videos are viewed in HD.
It's a tough call, as the resolution is the exact same size as when it was HQ. But I *think* I can notice the higher sampling. Nonetheless, I rather have this then not ever have the option.
Great!
I like this! My 3G speeds suck but this YouTube doesn't have the weird video artifacts in CM9 like the other one did.
Works like a charm on mine with cleangb, thanks!
