About youtube quality - myTouch 3G, Magic Apps and Games

Hello everybody!
When i watch videos on youtube from a wifi connection I'am able to choose
to watch the video in high quality but when i watch through 3g connection I dont have the option to choose between qualities.
Do you know how can I do that?
Thank you

looks like youtube app automatically optimize based on your connection.

Is does, but i can choose in both situations..

Great news thanks
As core player does not have a trial, and is pretty expensive, could you do some screen shots of this feature?

just check out the video

Cool. Thanks. Pretty nice. Looks like I will be shelling out, after refusing to pay for software without a trial for more than a year now.
Anyway, any way to get core player to play .flv files saved from YouTube. I know it does not support it natively, but I wonder if there is a hack or not.

Youtube integration works like a charm but trying to use H.264 for streaming (highest quality) makes me lose ~75% of the frames.
I dunno I guess I didn't expect it to be perfect but it's totally unwatchable. The medium settings works fine but looks worse than the flash video bundle with tcpm. (The actual interface is retty nice though a bit unresponsive and it doesn't always bring up the video when clicking a video, thus making you have to change "view" to see the actual video. pretty annoying.)
That youtube integration looks kinda slick.
I have core player, and am very happy with how it plays the videos I have on my storage card. It's clearer and sharper than WMP or TCPMP.
I don't have the you tube integration yet. What advantage does it have over TCPMP? Does it upload faster, or play the videos better? Sounds like undac didn't find the quality to be all that great.

eeks, h.264 youtube LOOKS great, but as undac pointed out...it's unwatchable... dropped-frame city...
medium setting RUNS great but looks bad...
so still flash video player and tcpmp for quality youtube...
if you just wanted to watch a video asap and didn't mind the quality, well medium setting core player would work ...
I tried the new version and really like the YT interface. I played several videos via WiFi and 3G and saw good results, video's only dropped about 5 frames in 2,500 pretty consistant with both radios with h.264's and zero frames with MPEG4s.
To select videos, I pressed the "i" icon on the right of each video, then in the larger info screen, pressed the play icon. Worked every time and seemed pretty responsive as well.
Edit, Oops, that was with the stock settings (Medium), when I changed the network setting for YT to high quality, the Kaiser chokes as reported. It played 101 frames and dropped 1515! Is this strictly a Kaiser/Tilt missing video driver issue??? and other PDA's function with this setting??
Just tested several H.264 Videos over wifi. 10000k frames played 400 dropped - frame rate 25.68. Thats pretty acceptable to me.
Not sure why my is performing better than some. Yes I did check to make sure it was h.264 High.
any1 have the cab for this? I know its not free I have purchased it but for some reason handago didnt provide me with the link for new version they still are selling the old one.

I am sure they will have it soon enough. No warez posting is allowed here. Mobihand.com of course has it already and I have to say it really is working nice. Love the youtube interface and streaming is really flawless with hsdpa.
High quality (H264) YouTube playback over wifi on my HTC Advantage is virtually flawless in CP 1.2.1 - I have it set to use the ATI Imageon video decoder w/acceleration selected. Supposedly the ATI chip doesn't have the capability to do hardware acceleration of H264 but in CP 1.2 and 1.2.1 I get incredibly smooth playback of H264 video (not at 640x480 unfortunately).
Can anyone advise on optimum settings van CorePlayer?
YouTube doesn't look too good here either. Can anyone advise on the best video (and other) settings to use with CorePlayer 1.2.1 / TyTN II?

I would just suggest you make sure under video settings you have the qtv option selected.

The "default" setting for Youtube video's is the crappy 3gp mode
to get H.264 goto
menu -> tools -> preferences -> Network
and amend the "YouTube Format" to "h264 (High Quality)"
Also make sure
menu -> tools -> preferences -> video
has "video Output" set to "QTV Display" (I'd recommend setting it to GDI first, exit, restart, set to QTv, exist and then restart)
QTv mode has some quirks (it wont display some of my album art) but for video it's way better than GDI

bratag, can you post links to some youtube vids and your live benchmark on them over wifi at h.264?
I've only tested it a little and so far it seems great to me. Having Youtube integrated kicks ass. Here is a sample I tested:
with three bars on HSDPA and Youtube set to high quality...
Wolverine trailer
320X240 25 fps
1405 frames played
165 frames dropped
actual framerate 22.373
Im sure that larger pixel dimension files will drop more frames. But so far I am happy. This CoreCodec team is the heat. First the QTV overlay and now youtube. Props
It very much depends on the size of the youtube video. Anything over about 480x runs choppy. You have to go down to medium for that. But anything encoded at a lower size than that is fine

Stream Webcam to Phone

Anyone know of a program where i can stream video from my computer to my phone. Essentially i am asking if anyone knows if i can stream video from my computers web cam to my cell phone when away?! haha thanks!
Orb Cast
try using orb cast, you can stream web cams, video, audio, see pictures and just about anything on you computer from you cell phone. https://mycast.orb.com/
VLC
This program can stream out almost anything to your phone....just use various codec and size settings for bitrate etc. for best performance on your
end of the edge/3g network....I use VLC with the current settings...
Stream Video with these settings:
Video Codec: H264 32k
Audio Codec: MP3 32k
Video Size: .25 buffer 10000
wmv2 codec works the best as far as less buffering etc. but the H264 is beautiful considering the low bitrate of 32k...I'm on the edge network and
live in the sticks....I get about dialup speed most of the time...we are still
hoping to get 3G here soon...any more detailed questions please feel free to post...I know this was not to specific but most here are techy type people and understand without getting down and dirty...but if needed...let me know...
This method is how I am getting my DVB satellite broadcasting to my phone...love it...this make everyone sick when they see my changing channels via a webpage and watching my Sat. from my Kaiser/Tilt...love HTC so far...
Oh yeah...Core Player 1.2.5 is my client on phone for watching...as the TCMP
code I have no luck with but with the Core Player...cha-ching..almost anything goes...good luck...
awesome!! thanks!
247Viewer
There is a new app on the app store that lets you stream your home webcam to your phone. Search 247viewer on google. It works pretty well. I didn't have to forward any ports on my router.

[Q] Getting better video quality?

Is there any way to improve the video playback quality?
I'm a heavy user of Voddler (a swedish Netflix) and Plex (video streaming from computer). When I watch the movies I have a little problem with the quality. Small blocks appear on the screen during playback. Is there anyway to make them disapear?
Or maybe it's just my Wifi connection too slow?
But this also appear when I play videos from the SDcard. These clips are in 720p, but the phone should manage to play them better, right?
Hope you can help me!
Best Regards
Jimmy
Try MX Player to play videos. and of course WiFi bandwidth matters for Quality video playback.
Those spot depends upon the bandwidth you are using and stored videos depends upon the bitrate which used to decode the video. Try to use more than 3mbps bitrate videos and higher bandwidth for streaming.. You won't see blocks in these setup.

Embedded YouTube Quality

Hey folks,
I've tried searching around on the google machine and here for this but I've been coming up empty handed.
When watching a embedded YouTube video through the stock Chrome Browser the video quality is terrible and looks like maybe only 240p. On my Nexus 7 on Chrome Browser, the quality will change based on connection speed within a few seconds. My stock Moto X does not do this either on 4G or wifi. If I watch the video on the YouTube website through Chrome plays perfectly as well as the Application. I found no settings to change the quality of the embedded videos in chromes minimal settings menu.
I've resorted to long pressing on the video, grabbing the link, pasting it and watching it on the YouTube mobile site which is tedious and should not be necessary.
Any tips or suggestions as to how to get the quality to improve. Or does anyone else have this same experience?
Any ideas...?
