Are inline youtube videos supposed to work in native android viewer?

Hello,
I'm testing the new native android viewer. We are currently using the legacy viewer. I am wanting to have inline video - specifically from youtube, like we are able to do in iOS. Is this possible? I am still just getting sound and no visual in all of my tests. Thanks!

After some research, we've found that this is definitely Google's bug on Android and was fixed by them in later versions.

We're discussing now whether a) we could work around this given our current architecture, and b) whether it's worth the cost for these older devices. Either way, the experience is very slow on the older API and devices that ran it when you have youtube videos embedded in web views. Those devices simply aren't powerful enough. If the publisher you're working with owns the videos, I would consider streaming them directly, outside of youtube, in a native video overlay (we support streaming video on Android). The experience and performance should be better.

  • Import YouTube Videos (.flv) - 1 works/1 does not

    I was wondering if anyone might be able help me with a curious problem in Premiere Pro CS4 (running on Vista Home Basic).
    A client came to me to re-edit and update some old marketing videos they had previously uploaded to youtube. They did not have the source files anymore so I had to work off the youtube flash versions. So I played them in youtube and then copied the .flv files out of my internet cache into my project source folder. When I then tried to import both .flv files into Premiere Pro CS4, one of them imported fine, but the other came up with "The file appears to have no media data" error message, and would not import. Both .flv files play fine in the Adobe Media Player. The same problem occured in After Effects CS4 as only one of the two files would import.
    The client's files were quite long but I did find some shorter files that also re-created the problem:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T6oIwFGy9JI (4:06)
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M8ZfZ5eyeIA (3:45)
    Both are versions of the same retro music clip. Curiously it is the one that was more recently uploaded to youtube that imports fine. If you allow both videos to fully buffer you will then will be able to copy them out of your internet cache. If you sort by file size the youtube videos should be near the top with a filename something like; "videoplayback?id=4b0...". When you then copy the files somewhere else they will be renamed something like "video[1].flv". Then if you try importing them into Premiere one will work and one will not and come up with the "The file appears to have no media data" error.
    I assume that flash videos can use different video codecs but the generic error message puts a stop to my troubleshooting so I was wondering if anyone with more expertise might be able to shed some light on some possible causes of the problem. The fact that I can't get past is that "Adobe Media Player" can play all .flv files fine so why isn't Premiere Pro capable of just using the same codec?
    Thankyou for your consideration,
    Chris

    Thanks Charles (& Charles).
    All of your suggested workarounds worked great. I think what worked best for me was adding the "&fmt=18" to the end of the YouTube URL, which plays a .mp4 version of the video instead, and then after copying out of the interent cache and renaming, Premiere imports the video fine no problems.
    That site: http://keepvid.com works great if you don't want to clear your internet cache (as finding specific videos can be a little difficult) although you would be effectively downloading the same file twice, once to view it, another to download.
    If as you say the file was originally uploaded as a .flv file then those free converters do a great job at converting them to mpeg2's or other formats.
    As it turned out, in testing the "Any Video Converter (Free Version)" I think I found the source of the original problem. When I added both of those aforementioned test .flv youtube videos, the "format" column identified the video that did import onto Premiere as "FLV1" format, and the other which did not as "H264". I then tested this with a few other youtube videos and sure enough all of the FLV1s format videos did import into Premiere but all of the H264 .flv videos would not. They all came up with the "The file appears to have no media data" error message.
    So for future forum reference the simple definition of the problem appears to be that Premiere Pro CS4 (and After Effects CS4) will not import a flash video (.flv) that uses the H264 format.
    Thanks again Charles(s) for all of your suggestions,
    Chris
    p.s. During my testing I also tried copying a YouTube HD video (1280x720 .mp4 - Premiere identified it as a XDCAM-EX Movie) out of my cache after playing, and Premiere accepted it no problems

  • Sound on iPad Mini for youtube videos doesn't work

    iPad mini will play youtube videos just fine, but no sound. When accessed through facebook app, video tube, no sound. When accessed through YouPlayer, sound works fine. All other system sounds/music/etc fully functional. Nothing is muted, all volume controls that I can find are up.
    Any ideas?

    Obviously a problem with those apps then.
    You can try this:
    Make Sure iOS is updated to the latest version
    Reboot the device by pressing and holding down the home and sleep/wake buttons (power) at the same time until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
    If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings

  • My Embedded YouTube Video Doesn't Work in Safari

    Hi everyone,
    I have a YouTube video in my site that works in Firefox but does not in Safari. I have been searching everywhere for an answer. I upgraded my Flash, changed the tags, title and description of my video... still nothing. The message I get when I try to play my video is "Sorry this video is no longer available." The strange thing is, the video works in Safari when I play it through YouTube.
    What is going on here? Any help is appreciated!!
    Bettina

    We got this worked out via email.
    For anyone reading this and experiencing the same problem, it turns out that the issue has to do with private YouTube videos, which won't play when embedded in a web page unless it's your video (or you have permission to view that particular video) and you happen to be logged into your YouTube account in that web browser.

  • Converted YouTube videos no longer work

    I have been converting some YouTube videos for my own offline use for some time to view on my iPod Touch. I use a little program called TubeSock.
    Since 2.0 software was released for both iPod Touch and the iPhone 3G all of my converted videos no longer work. Apple changed something. I also have an e-mail into TubeSock to see if they have an update in the works.
    Anyone else experience this problem and if so any solutions?
    Ken

    If it happens again then you can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:
    Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
    *Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
    *Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
    *Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
    Clear the cache and cookies only from websites that cause problems.
    "Clear the Cache":
    *Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
    "Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
    *Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

  • Embedded YouTube videos don't work on Safari on the iPhone.

    Sometime after June 15, 2013, embedded YouTube videos stopped working on web pages on Safari on the iPhone (iOS6).   They work on Safari on the Mac and they work in the iOS YouTube app.   I see the preview frame and the play button, but when clicking the play button, the frame goes black and nothing ever plays.    This worked up until 6/15 and the pages haven't changed.      Did Apple do something to stop them from working on the iPhone recently?

    You may have turned off an option in Flash preferences to not allow sites to store Flash cookies on your machine. Some videos made in Flash and served from third-party (non-YouTube) pages expect to be able to store Flash cookies, so the videos may not work with this Flash option turned off.
    Go to [https://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager03.html Flash Global Storage Settings Panel] which is served from Adobe/Macromedia's site and check the "Allow third-party Flash content..." box, and the box for "Store common Flash components..." where you can then manage sites you have already visited. You'll have to reload the video page after you change this setting.
    Also, leave site feedback on those sites where you experienced the problems encouraging them to use HTML5 for serving video content instead of the proprietary Flash format.

  • Why has youtube video downloading stopped working?

    Until a few days ago, I was able to play and download videos from YouTube. Then, for reasons inexplicable and confounding, they have stopped downloading altogether. My software program for downloading is Speedbit's Video Downloader which works just fine elsewhere. So what has caused the problem with YouTube?

  • HT1414 HElP i got my iprhone 4 stuck in recovery mode  trying to update to I0s 7.  I have watched youtube videos but nothing works i have only 8g i dont know if that has something to do with it.  I dont want to download any complicated files Help me!!

    I got my phone stuck in recovery mode while  trying to update I0S 7.  I have watched countless youtube videos and read multiple articles to try and resolve this issue.  I have done everything but, When i try to take it out of recovery mode as shown it puts it right back in recovery mode.  This is a very annoying.  Please Help Me

    When your phone is in recovery mode, it's like it crashed.  The only way that you can get it out of recovery mode is by restoring, and this erases all your data as well.   
    You can believe what you wish by "reading all over the internet".  This is Apple's technical support forum.  We do know what we're talking about.
    since you have very important photos on your phone, why haven't you been importing them to your computer as soon as possible after taking them?  This is how the phone is meant to be used.  Keeping critical data on only a device which can be easily stolen, dropped and broken is just plain foolish.  Also, did you not back up your phone (as you should be doing with any computer) before attempting any operating system update?  As you've now just painfully learned, updates do not always go as planned.
    I'm sorry for your data loss, but let this be a very important lesson.  BTW, when was the last time you backed up your computer?  I'm sure you have important data on your computer.  Hard drives WILL fail.

  • Myspace and some Youtube videos don't work

    This problem must've been posted here before. I am using the
    newest version of flash and have java-scripting turned on but when
    I try to watch videos on Myspace and a few of the newer ones on
    Youtube i get this message: Hello, you either have JavaScript
    turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player. Get the
    latest Flash player.
    If the the video is embedded on another page I can see it
    fine. I have tried all the full downloads at softwarepatch.com etc.
    Has anyone figured out why this happens on some PCs?

    Ok guys, I think I have figured out a way to watch the vids
    with the ad-blocker turned on! (it worked for me!)
    First open-up the Norton Security Centre then click on:
    options > Web Content > Add Site > then type 'youtube.com'
    and/or 'vids.myspace.com'.
    Now click on that website (you've just inputted) and click
    on: Ad Blocking > Add > then type 'ad' and click permit. If
    that doesn't work try typing in: '
    http://youtube-' or '
    http://myspace-' then clicking
    'permit'.
    If you stil can't see em try doing what I did and checking
    out the logs in Norton by clicking on 'Statistics' in the security
    centre and then 'View Logs'. You should be able to see the html
    string that Norton is blocking from youtube and then tell it to
    allow it, using the steps mentioned above.

  • When i export my muse website my youtube video links stop working. Why is this?

    I'd like to fix this

    You can use Muse's publish feature to publish your site to a temporary Adobe BusinessCatalyst site, then you can assign the URL to that site.
    You can also purchase hosting from a 3rd party web hosting provider, and use FTP upload to upload your muse site to that location.
    Here are some videos & tutorials explaining the process:
