Keep youtube buffer? - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I sometimes watch youtube video repeatedly (music video and stuff)
On iphone, I was able to buffer the video once and there would be no need to buffer again when you select to play from the start or any section of the video as long as you don't let it play all the way to the end.
Is there anyway to do the same on android phones?
It seems every time I move the cursor, it will re-buffer from that position even though I have already buffered the whole video.
Anyone know the solution?

TCPMP very laggy on Youtube

any way to fix the lag on the tcpmp for playing youtube videos? basically it will start the video, then i'll hear about 20-30 seconds of audio before it screen changes then 20-30 more seconds of audio, i have the settings set per the download instructions. the way i play the videos is i click on the youtube link and i see the option to save or play video, i hit play and it brings up the player. would saving it be a better way?
can someone help me get this player working properly, i can't get a youtube video to play correctly to save my life, i'm assuming i have the settings incorrect in some way or another, can someone tell me what setting they are using to get youtube to run smoothly, particularly the advanced, direct draw, gapi, and buffering tabs. thanks

Hi brianlb,
have you tried downloading a youtube video (save as .flv)? Does it play smoother after downloading? If not it is probably a settings issue.
The most important is to use Raw Frame Buffer for video settings.

Are you using ytpocket.com
please explain yourself a little better. I am able to stream YT content via ytpocket.com perfect if im in a 3G area. No lag what so ever. If i'm connected via EDGE or GPRS the video has to buffer every couple of seconds. you could even connect via wifi, and have no lag.

yes i'm using ypocket.com i've followed all the instructions on from there and had no luck, then i did a hard reset to erase everything, tried it again, and same thing, i've tried it on hsdpa and 3g and it's very laggy, bascially unwatchable.
bumping, trying to get youtube to actually stream and not lag a lot.
I'm using ytpocket and I keep getting an error saying "MMS protocol not supported!" even though I have the MMS box checked. And I have tried a soft reset also and that didn't work either.

[Q] Audio on videos always out of place?

Every time I play a video file that I didn't record with the camera, the audio is always behind the video and it's really bothersome.
Running Serendipity 7.
I have a solution
SOLUTION
The best solution I found was to use the VLC Media Player app.
It's still in alpha, but it's the best video player out there. (direct download)
Now there may be times where the video still loses sync with the audio (most of the time when you tap the screen during playback). All you need to do then is to skip to a random point in the video and skip back, or reload the video.
It's a pain, yes. But it's the best we can do for now. Maybe it will get better when the Beta/full version of VLC player is released.

Youtube plays videos in 240P.

Is it just me or is everyone unable to play videos in the usual 360p quality. I only get 240p videos even though I have enabled HQ playback.
NVM, found it 3 seconds after clicking post.
Go to Themes and Apps section. Someone has already found a fix.

[Q] Screen flickers while playing videos

I have a Samsung Galaxy S Advance i9070. Off late if I try playing videos one after the other the screen starts to flicker. The first video plays fine, flickering starts when i play the second video, then I have to bring up Task Manager and clear the memory. This happens only while playing videos, I tried the VLC player also but result is the same. 90% of system resources are free so it can’t be a lack of system resources that’s causing this. Is it a hardware issue, I re installed the stock ROM but even then same result.
I have this problem too but it seldom happens.

In my case ti happens every time I play a video, no exceptions.
Which player are you using to view the videos?
People say I'm crazy, but the voices in my head say I'm just fine.

i get this problem upon "ROTATION" (ie, orientation change) while playing videos in the youtube app, or playing html5 videos in the default browser app

[Q] Cannot play any video from any source on HD+

I recently (early February) factory reset my HD+ and then let it update completely to the newest stock software version before rooting it. Now, whenever I try to play a video, whether it is an m4v/mp4 file I manually placed onto the SD card, or a streamed video from Vudu, or a downloaded video from Vudu, or a streamed video from Google Play Movies, or a downloaded video from Google Play Movies, it won't play. At all. It opens up whichever video player I choose (I've tried the built-in player, BS Player, MX Player, and VLC), but the player will then load endlessly. I can't seek forward by clicking the progress bar. When I try to play a movie direct from the Vudu app, it buffers endlessly, even for a video I've downloaded. Same with a video from Google Play Movies. Sometimes the loading circle or buffer notice will freeze, and I'll get a notice that whichever app I'm using is not responding and if I want to wait or close.
I haven't been able to find anything about this issue that anyone else is having. Any ideas?
I'll take a wild guess that its from rooting stock.
