[android-developers] Re: youtube on android
Hi All, So back to the original question. As of today, does Android support Sreaming YouTube video in any shape or form? I have a new Sciphone G2 with the youtube app installed that connects to the site ok, but then gives a pop up saying Sorry your phone does not support the type of streaming video used by YouTube. The site browses just fine. Thanks In advance.

Hi Ebin, my reply is a bit late, but maybe it helps you. While Youtube uses a flash player on the web to play its videos, the video itself is encoded with some codec. To play it back in an application, you would not need full flash support (with all that SWF- Vectorgraphics-Actionscript stuff) but you would need to get the raw video data, and then some code that plays back this video. Flash would not be involed in any way then. There are Firefoxplugins and other desktop software which allow to save/download videos from youtube. Not sure if this is allowed by law and by the youtube agreements, but it shows that access to the raw video is possible. Maybe you can do some research in this direction... - Brian On 8 Mai, 06:55, ebin jose wrote: > Hi Brian, > > Thanks for the reply. > But I think I didn't make myself clear. > > We are developing a portable media player using android. > we wanted to add youtube playback capability also. > So i thought of adding new application which can access and playback youtube > content. > I couldn't see any application available in androd market. > I heard about flash player port news (from adobe).

[android-developers] Re: youtube on android
Hi Brian, Thanks for the reply. But I think I didn't make myself clear. We are developing a portable media player using android. we wanted to add youtube playback capability also. So i thought of adding new application which can access and playback youtube content. I couldn't see any application available in androd market. I heard about flash player port news (from adobe). I guess that code is not released yet. I was checking if there is an alternative way to playbackyoutubevideo's on android ? Is there an application that supports flash content playback on > android already (though I couldn't find any on "android market" or > related sites) or any development work is underway ?

[android-developers] Re: youtube on android
Hi Ebin, this is actually very easy. Real phones (developer and user phones) come with a preinstalled youtube application that performs very well. On the emulator, it is not present as far as I remember. If you want to lauch youtube from within your application, maybe this thread helps you: http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/27f9cc80512a52cd/29a524182b4f3c8d On 4 Mai, 06:51, "ebinjose...@gmail.com" wrote: > Hi All, > > I want to playbackyoutubevideos on android.
