Youtube Videos Now play on Blade?

[Guest replicant6]

My Blade can somehow now play youtube videoswithout using an app. I was on Facebook (using stock browser) and clicked on a video that a friend had posted and I was automatically redirected to the youtube website and the video played without any problems. I then tried a number of videos on the youtube website and they all played flawlessly. I thought the Blade couldn't play flash videos?

It's not playing flash videos. It's playing youtube videos.

There is no such thing as a "flash video". You can play certain types of video files with a flash player. The phone just plays them directly from youtube, there is no flash involved.

Hmmmm I'm confused now, I thought you had to have Adobe flash to play youtube videos? Still, the matter remains, until recently, I had to use the youtube app to play videos but now I can directly play them on the youtube website and via Facebook. So, something has changed?

Maybe it uses h.264 or WebM instead of Flash.

Guess it'll be WebM or WebP cos Google dropped support for H264 altogether ....

:D

Some people on XDA ported the Flash Player to ARMv6 devices. So it can run flash things.

Re-encode the downloaded video on your pc. I use Miro video converter with the nexus profile as suggested by someone on these forums. It allows the video to be hardware decoded on the phone which reduces the likelihood of a/v sync and lag issues.
