Does any one know if it is possible to run youtube video's as clearly as the Iphone run their youtube apps.
Hi,
I am not able to play the videos in official facebook app in main screen. I never had this issue in my htc desire. Youtube videos are being played in browser and for other videos it opens the video player but i get unsupported format error. If i open videos from main screen after clicking the thumbnail at bottom then everything is fine. i get YouTube app option for YouTube videos as well and other videos are also played in player.
Am I missing any settings in S2?
Any Help guys...
I was trying to watch a youtube video. In the youtube app, it just shows "buffering... " and does not play. Using the browser, only the circular loading screen showed. Note that everything else loads like the comments, views etc.
However, i can view embedded youtube videos. Now im confused. I think it has to do with the youtube mobile player since the regular player for pc was able to play the embedded video.
Do you know any fix? Thanks.
Hi everyone,
On any phone I have had to date, videos from the browser that I wanted to watch in full screen mode were played through a video player app. On the essential phone, they seem to be played within the browser still (tried chrome, Firefox, and others). The video quality is pretty poor this way and I was wondering if there was a no frills video player that could be configured Las the default app for watching full screen streaming videos from the browser, and how that would be configured.
I hope this makes sense. I was surprised to see no threads on this topic but I suppose the grainy video doesn't bother other people, or a solution has been found an I'm not using the right terminology.
Any guidance would be appreciated
Most any video player you had on those other phones would work with this one. I've not seen any issues with video playback but... "My legs are grey. My ears are gnarled. My eyes are old and bent."
I've downloaded several video player apps (mx player, vlc, sbs player, etc), but none of them will play the video in the browser unless I download it. On my Samsung s8, if I choose full screen on a video in chrome it will ask what video player I want to use, and I select Samsung video player to be the default. This doesn't happen on the essential phone.
When I download it, the quality is as poor as it is in the browser full screen mode. My guess on that is the resolution for the essential phone is being reported in metadat or something to chrome so it is downloading the video in the only encoding it can find that would support that dimension. That's a total guess, but it's the only thing I can think of that's very unique about the ph-1. Is there a way to disable the full screen mode or tell the browser that my display has different, more standard dimensions?
Right of the bat, I'm using an S8+ and so far I didn't had any issues with (true) fullscreen video Playback with for example YouTube (Youtube Advanced enabled Stretching to Fullscreen) or FireFox etc...
True fullscreen = No Blackbars. What's the point of watching a Video on a bigger screen like the S8+ when literally the space you paid more money for is unused/filled with black bars..... Yea good job.
Now here's the issue, Google Play Movies/Films doesn't have that simple & vital option. Leaving me with disgusting black bars that make the experience unacceptable.
Is there ANY way to make the video stretch to the screen just as YouTube Advanced stretches the video to the screen size?
