Videos playing?

dragonking37 · 08-31-2010, 07:49 PM

So after Froyo does anybody else seem to have a heck of a lot of trouble getting videos from youtube or even just a link playing?

Personally, I haven't had trouble. I've noticed that the videos won't buffer fast enough and I'm constantly having to wait while it buffers enough to play. For YouTube, I use the native app, so I definitely don't have trouble with that. What kind of phone do you have, if you don't mind me asking, we might be able to help you out better if we know that.

Droid and the youtube appt has the same problem. I'm using Skyfire browser that plays video with some type of program beside flash but its been problimatic too. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

The Droid has had HUGE problems after froyo, skyfire isn't the best browser neither though. Did you have these problems while running 2.1 or 2.0 before froyo? Worst case scenario you can always root it and downgrade firmwares. I have 2 friends that had the exact same problems and they ended up calling VZW and got Droid 2s for free. I think Verizon has acknowledged this problem with the original Droids.

I love my droid! I think they did it on purpose. They want us to turn over our droids so they can downgrade us to droid 2 where they will have more control over us. Nope, no probs before Froyo. I will stop by VZ and have them check it out but if they wont give it back call my lawyer for me. Thanks for all the info too. You were very helpful.

Ok so my son has a droid and got his permission to get Adobe Flash but I have not so I went to google search and found the beta version. It seems to be working well. I will keep updating if anything goes wrong. Thanks to everyone

Problem I have is with the Actual Youtube application.
Not really a big problem sometimes when I click on a video it just says "Cannot play this file" but if I hit back and try it again it will usually play after 2 or 3 times of trying.

Yeah, youtube has been doing that for me too but I didn't know if I tried it a few times it might play! Thanks
