I was experiencing broken/green flash videos with MIUI.
At first I set permission to 000 for /data/data/com.android.browser/app_plugins/com.adobe.flashplayer/.macromedia/Flash_Player/config.data
This does the trick for some devices, but not for the 2X (at least for mine).
So, instead I set the config.data like this:
DeviceCert=1
HeapSoftLimit=120
HeapHardLimit=150
HwH264=bp:108000,15;mp:108000,15;hp:108000,15;
ProductVer=11.0.1.x
In practice, I changed the fps to 15 and now the videos play fine!
Remember to give again permissions to the file if you have changed them!
It works for every browser, just change this folder in the path: /data/data/com.android.browser/app_plugins
Awesome!
But for a total noob, how would one go about changing the permissions?
Using ADB, i'd guess?

The easiest way is probably through rootexplorer..
You can change files permissions from ADB shell, or from a terminal emulator on the device by using the command "chmod nnn" where "n" are numbers from 0 to 7.
For example 777 give all permissions to all users, while 000 to nobody (except root).
Or you can simply use a root explorer program on the device
Hey,is it necessary to edit this for each browser?
If yes,I can't find the folder of dolphin browser.
BTW,is it limit the video on 15fps?
I think dolphin folder is something like "mobi.mgeek.TunnyBrowser"
For the fps I don't think the framerate is limited to 15 fps.
From adobe site:
A frame rate of 30 or 25 fps often overwhelms Flash Player. If the video is recorded at 29.97 or 30 fps, use a frame rate of 15 fps

When i try to edit the config data file with root explorer its blank... There aren't any letters, what am I doing wrong?
Sent from my LG Optimus 2X using Tapatalk
I know it's strange...but through ADB you can see file content...must be some kind of root explorer bug.
Try this: remove all config.data permissions.
Now you can edit the file through root explorer.
Save and set again permissions (give them all if you don't remember).
You're good to go.
Thank you SO MUCH for this fix! Works like a charm now.
Finally in can watch StarCraft 2 streams on Twitch.tv!
Thank you very much!
Videos in stock browser seems to work now!
But I could not activate the trick for Opera Mobile (which is far smoother and usable than stock browser...).
The similar folder in opera should be
/data/data/com.opera.browser/plugins_data/com.adobe.flashplayer/.macromedia/Flash_Player
in this folder there are the same directories "#SharedObjects" and "adobe.com" like in stock browser, but there is no "config.data" file.
So I copied the same file here, restarted everything.. butthe videos are still corrupted with opera
I'm sorry to say that probably Opera doesn't support config.data file
I tell you this because in the devices for which revoking permissions to config.data solved the problem, Opera seemed to work!
I've tested this solution so far only for stock browser and Dolphin HD.
No video bug has made it onto stock firmware.
After upgrading to Cyanogenmod 7.1 on Desire Z (g2/vision) and finding iplayer would only play audio I have done pretty much everything in this thread.
The best I managed was a forced downgrade of flash to 10.something and just ignore all the "update available" messages. I still can't play live TV, but recorded programs are okay. Frame rate isn't as high as it could be, but at least it works.
I resigned myself to this and thought about going back to stock or wait for CM9. Given all the problems I had getting notification lights and GPS to work on my "supported" Desire Z with CM7.1 I'm not holding out much hope of CM9 resolving more problems than it causes, so stock was sounding tempting...
Then the other day my other half was offered an Stock OTA gingerbread update for her Desire HD (2.3.5 I think). Guess what, her iplayer doesn't play video now either! Her flash is up to date (11).
Hopefully this is good news for the rest of us, if mainstream firmware isn't working on iplayer then they are going to have to do something about it. I'll make sure she places a suitable 1 star review against the app on the market.
Thank you,it works very well.

I don't know anythink about the YouTube HD app but the basic Youtube app allow to see in "normal quality" and "high quality".

Copy the *.apk to your sd-card and open the file with ASTRO. ASTRO is a free application that can be found on Market. This application can do much more that just install applications from a file (apk), it's recomended to have this app
Thanks for the file!
Oh damn, I've been waiting for this. I'll give this a try!
Edit: Doesn't work.
I guess wishing for HQ vids over 3G/HSDPA is still a dream... no pun intended =/
This worked flawlessly on my Archos 5 Android, thanks.
is this the same as selecting high quality in the original YouTube application?
The file downloads as a .ZIP archive, therefore, there is no .apk. At least, I could not find it when I unzip the file...

how did you get it working?? I'm having trouble getting it to run in the archos 5 android.
little tutorial maybe...?
are you guys serious? there is an option in the regular youtube app to select a higher quality. so i dont really see the need for this apk??? Im not trying to be mean by any means though. Just saying some people might have been a little misinformed
I think people are wanting to watch the videos in high definition, rather than high quality.
well as someone stated before our devices wont play higher than 430x320 res
anyone knows why i could only chose normal or high quality only when i am on wifi connection but not 3G??
(windows) search "folder options" > '"veiw tab" > make sure "hide extensions for known file types " is UNchecked..... rename "youtube.zip" into "youtube.apk
Does anyone have a youtube.apk that defaults to playing the normal (low) quality version of the video. I want to use it on a Eken tablet pc but it doesnt like the high quality videos freezes on the first frame even though sound continues but low quality setting plays ok
Download the zip
Extract the apk
Put it in your sdk tools folder
open command prompt
Navigate to your sdk tools folder
connect your phone via usb
type in command prompt:
adb remount
adb push YouTube.apk /system/app/YouTube.apk
Voila! It works, atleast these steps worked for me..
// Note: Thats how you get it on your phone..
Still doesnt default to highquality
Hey all need some help here got some mp4 movies that play till 1:11:35 then the video stops but the audio keeps playing. Btw I'm running cm6 black mod stable. Any suggestions?
There's alot of info missing in your post, such as the player you're using and how did you encode your movies. This makes it hard to find a solution to your problem.
I think I had the same issue for a period, but switching players helped. Though I don't recollect exactly. Here's a quick tutorial I put together awhile ago: http://digitaldeverell.com/?page_id=130
Maybe that could help???
Not sure of the encoding, I downloaded the videos they all play no matter what player I use but they all stop at 1 hr 11 min and 35 seconds up until then everything perfect. Could there be any kind of cap or time or MB restrictions? I work midnights with nothing really to do and would really like to watch some movies... thanks...
Oh, btw the video stops at 1:11:35 and the audio continues but when it stops the seek bar returns to the beginning of the movie. The rest of the video is there but it wont play past that time.
Are you trying to 'stream' the video? Try act1 video player ...
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
ive tried act 1, and several others cant remember all of them (deleted) but im not streaming them they were downloaded and work fing on my pc. Tranfered them to my sd card and played them, they all work fine... perfect audio/video until 1:11:35 and then the seek bar goes to the begining of the movie and the audio continues to play as if nothing happened. if i drag the seek bar past 1:11:35 the video is there but it plays audio from the begining of the movie...??? idk im like wtf. i thought about cutting the movies in half sumhow but dont really know how to do it. thoughts?
Well there's only so much cache room allowed, for most apps/ functions.
Is your phone rooted, and what ROM?
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
Yes, rooted running cm6 blackmod stable.
1:11:35
I am having the same problem here as well. I just went on a flight and encoded five different movies. One was encoded with AnyDVDconverter, the other three were done with Handbrake. The movies converted with both programs worked until 1:11:35.
I have tried a lot of different settings within each program every time with the same results, audio continues and the video pauses. If I seek past 1:11:35 the video will play, but the audio begins to play from the beginning with the slider bar returning to the start as well.
See how this appears to be an issue with the phone and not Handbrake, I wiped and flashed CM6.1 with the same results.
Any thoughts on what else could be done to have proper video playback.
Also, I have tried the Gallery, mVideoPlayer, and DoubleTwist with same results as well.
Thank You for any suggestions.
Solved:
found this solution in the CyanogenMod google code website, sorry I can not post the link
I solved the problem by executing the steps below:
1) adb pull /system/build.prop build.prop
2) open the retrieved build.prop file in your favourite text editor and change
media.stagefright.enable-player=true
into
media.stagefright.enable-player=false
3) adb remount
4) adb push build.prop /system/build.prop
5) adb shell reboot
After applying this fix, I have not noticed any problems with youtube playback.

That didn't fix it... From what I've found the files have to be less than 2mb due to SD card fat32 partitions limits. Irk.
Sent from my HTC Hero CDMA using XDA App
I had the same problem but couldn't find any solution on the net anywhere. There IS a simple, yet unelegant solution though:
Split the movie into 2 (or 3 if it's a very long movie) files.
In Handbrake, look at the total number of chapters. Do one pass for the first half, then another for the second half (ex, 24 chapter total, then do one file with chapters 1-12 and a second file with 13-24). Just name the movies "Title 1" and "Title 2".
Voila. Problem solved.

I downloaded the Gingerbread .apk from this forum but Rootexplorer says the install is blocked. So...
1) Is the gingerbread .apk going to give me full screen high quality youtube video? Or will I just get crappy cellphone video?
2) How do I install the .apk...if it is what I was actually looking for, of course.
I have the youtube app that came with autonooter but like I said above, even the HQ setting is bad.
from what I understand, DSP isn't working in gingerbread or honeycomb on the nook as of yet so no HQ video will play until they figure it out.

Wait what?? you downloaded the Gingerbread APK? file... I'm pretty sure that what you have there is the Gingerbread Keyboard Ripped to work on 2.1 and 2.2.......
and right now what you have is the best performing Youtube there is. If you are having issues with quality then its the youtube videos you are watching.....
Also it already does Full Screen... just rotate your device....
To answer your 2nd question, you will need to enable "Non-Market" Apps install. and then either Push the file to your device with ADB, or just put it on a SD card and open it with root explorer or another file explore program.
You can get to the applications settings by going to Nooktools app that came with autonooter, and going to all settings then to applications then you should see the option to enable "non Market installs"

Some confusion there. I pulled the gingerbread youtube apk from a thread around here on youtube that wouldn't run at all, hoping it would work. I downloaded it from my Nook so that must be why its blocked. Either way its not going to help. I'll just wait for an update.
And yes, I have turned it sideways....come on. I meant full screen HD.

Dig around for the file named "signed_YouTube.apk". This will play HQ vids properly on nook color eclair. You can run it from sdcard/system/app. If you get an installation error, open nook color tools and toggle Allow non market apps on and off then try again
Will do. Thanks.
Edit: That was the file i downloaded. I moved it to the sd card root and it installed. Not sure its any different but at least i know im current on the apk. Thanks again.

Another tip, in YouTube settings set it to start High Quality on mobile. This will default to HQ video when available. Look for videos in HD and tilt to landscape view. The video will take a few moments to buffer and start but then you can skip through it freely.
UPDATE 5/4: It has been determined, although it remains unclear as to why, that you need a modified kernel in order for this mod to work. It is my intention to get Hulu working across the Honeycomb platform, so if you have any input as to why Tiamat's kernel is required, please address it in this thread
Read Entire Post
Download links at the bottom of the post.
Using a modified version of the new (4/29)10.2 Flash update, created by imneveral0ne, from the Thunderbolt forums, and Dolphin Mini, with minor settings adjustments, you can enjoy smooth, clear playback of content from Hulu, in it's full browser format. This includes access to all content, including those deemed unavailable for access by mobile devices or TV's. The apk modification essentially changes the user agent of Flash as it appears on the net.
Previously, this has been possible using a similarly modified apk, changing your user agent to desktop, and viewing Hulu using an alternate URL, www.hulu.com/widget/player. While not only presenting an awful UI, this method of playback resulted in choppy video that often fell out of sync.
If you are currently not using Dolphin Mini as a daily browser, it will be easy for you to install it, and implement it as a single purpose browser. Just change the homepage to hulu.com. It's UI is conveniently matched to the design of Hulu's website, which makes for a clean experience. It's light and fast, and could be a daily driver for those looking for a minimalist browser.
The entire experience is smoother, Flash is behaving like it should. Selecting options from within the Hulu playback interface has been a nightmare, but with the updated flash, and HRI66, it's an entirely pleasant way to watch great content on the Xoom.
As for playback, you will find smooth playing video, at 480p. 480p looks great on the Xoom and the Tegra 2 handles it beautifully. By manually lowering the resolution of choice, to either 360p or 288p, you will notice the decrease in resolution, however, you should increase your available bandwidth and relax the stress on your processor, likely saving battery life.
Regarding HD, it is possible, with Hulu Plus of course, to play video in 720p . However, because hardware acceleration has yet to be enabled, the resulting video will be choppy and most likely unwatchable. This has been tested with an over-clocked Tegra2 at 1.5ghz. It would be fair to assume that when the Xoom and/or Honeycomb receive the update Adobe is referring to, 720p HD playback will be possible. In the mean time, 480p looks fantastic.
Also of note, true multitasking is possible using this mod. You can go back to your homescreen, open new apps, check your mail, and your Hulu video will remain playing in the background. You can still hear audio, and work during commercials, resuming playback instantly.
As for installation, this couldn't be easier.
1. Download modified Flash 10.2 HERE CHOOSE LINK #2 LABELED Flash 10.2 + Hulu_2.apk OR from this dropbox public link
2. Uninstall your current version of Flash using the Manage Applications setting.
3. Reboot
4. Install modified version of Flash 10.2
5. Install Dolphin Mini from the Market HERE
6. In Dolphin Mini, change the user agent to Desktop (Menu>Toolbox>UserAgent>Desktop) and change plug-ins to always on (Menu>Toolbox>Settings>Enable Plug-Ins>Always On). This will ensure Flash content plays back immediately.
7. Go to hulu.com and enjoy all the great content on the go with your Android Honeycomb Tablet!!!!
Instructions updated to reflect the following contribution.

One thing i would recommend, uninstall flash, reboot, then install the new version 2 hulu flash file. If you want to test if you have the right one installed, go to Flash Version and it should show WIN 99 99 99 99.

If you are having trouble, for example, Hulu is telling you Flash is not installed, please leave a post in the thread noting your model(Wifi or 3g), your build number(HRI39, HRI66 etc), your kernel(modified or stock) and your recovery. It has been determined that a custom kernel is required for this mod to work appropriately. If you have any idea as to why this may be the case, please dump your ideas in this thread.

It is my intention to have a tutorial for anyone who wants to watch Hulu on their Honeycomb tablet. When you say it doesn't work for YOU, I want to know why, so that I can help others who may run in to a similar situation. Of course it will work in the stock browser, as long as you change the user agent to desktop. This of course will be reset to default android upon restart, unless you are using a modified framework.
The goal of this post is show how you can consistently get quality Hulu playback without the need to adjust settings, more than once, upon the initial install.
Being that XDA is a community driven site, your input is appreciated. If you get a chance, see if you can get Hulu working under the conditions I suggested, and compare your experience to the stock browser with the user agent changed. I'd be curious to know the results.

doesn't work. tells me i have to install flash player.
i've downloaded the second link the one that says flash 10.2 + hulu and then uninstalled the market version of flash. i then reinstalled the the modded flash and installed dolphin browser mini.
I changed the ua string to desktop, but there is no add-on values. There's only a setting that says plugin support, and i checked always on.
I've tried it three different times and each time it can't detect the flash player in the browser.
I DLed from the Dropbox link, uninstalled the old flash, installed the new APK, installed Dolphin Mini and updated the user agent and plug in settings but I still get the message:
"Hulu requires Flash PLayer 10.0.32 or higher. Please download and install the latest version of Flash Player before continuing."
Bummer.
It does not work for me either. Hulu says that Flash needs to be installed for it to work. I tried to install it from my Xoom and to email it to myself and neither worked.

Thanks for reply i'll keep the files, but there must be a solution (
Various free video conversion software should do the trick. I've had success using the conversion feature of VideoLAN's VLC media player to 'convert' to .mp4; the video is full size, with sound, and at the original quality. The VLC media player could even play the temp_video file as-is, without any conversion...the conversion was only necessary to play with other players/to burn to DVD.
Hope this helps.
Found a utility that does the trick
I had the same problem. Some people claimed vlc would work, but it didn't. So I tried out this tool: http://grauonline.de/cmsimple2_6/en/?Solutions:HD_Video_Repair_Utility
It worked when I gave it a reference video (video shot from the same phone), but it only saves half the video unless you buy the license. After watching the video, I determined that I don't need the second half for the price they ask (29 euros), but at least I got half. If the author would only charge say $5 per video I'd probably buy it. In lieu of that, I simply joined the file together to create one file twice as long and re-ran it. In windows "copy /b file + file combined_file". This worked as a stop-gap, but the sound got really off at the midpoint. So, if you really want it to work right, I'd suggest paying for the license.
Credit to this person for pointing me to the tool.

DId you bought programm and got better result with or without added longer file? Cause for me full version got and maybe thats all there is to get- all ok but video or sound is going at different speed. So just readjust that in video edit programm. Also in options can select to divide files in seperate audio and video files and then combine changing speed only for video in video editing sofware.
Recovering the temp_video file
Dear all,
i know it is odd to response to a "long time ago" post, but i wish that this may help people who are facing similar problem.
I have just tried the app from the Google Play, MP4fix.
It requires the corrupted file, temp_video and a well-recorded file, i am not sure is it better to be a similar length for the well-recorded?
After processing, you can freely play the recovered file or paid to save the file.
Which means you can use another phone to Rexxxx while the phone is pXXXing the video.
However, it is better to pay for the developers who make this app.
VLC Works as of This Writing
I had this problem. Went looking for a solution and found this article mentioning VLC. On a Galaxy Tab A (purchased new in late 2017), VLC was indeed able to play it as-is. Renaming the file with the mp4 extension (no conversion) meant that even the Samsung Video Player could play it. Maybe Samsung improved the readability of the temp files.
I got the fix
I know this is 7 years later, but I just got this problem and got an actual fix for it. Go to your file manager and click on DCIM then on Camera then scroll all the way to the bottom and press and hold on your temp video and press share. Share it to your google drive and then once its on your Google drive, you can download it if you want to back on your device. Worked on my s7, hope it works for yall

I haven't managed to open or recover them somehow. I guess there are no viable solutions for this issue.
Sorry.
PS: Still, keep the files. Who knows, maybe we will find out someday.
