Hi all, in these days, I'm doing some trials on my ATV1000 regarding Youtube.
I've found results, really interesting, that I would like to share with you.
The first is that: we can always watch youtube videos (on mobile devices) even without flash player installed (because, in m.youtube.com, videos are not in flash but in RTSP/3GP with H263/AMR) and so there is no reason to link video problems on youtube, that some ATV1000 devices have, to flash player.
We must consider that, on an android device, we need to install flash player, only for flash content on web pages or, if we want to enter youtube, or similar sites (with browser set as desktop), but in this case, videos will be unwatchable, because we will be trying to watch heavy, not optimized, flash videos on a device build with 800Mhz CPU and 512Mb RAM.
The second is that: we can have an higher video resolution (similar to MKV) on hd videos from youtube, if we set browser as: Ipad (but we need more bandwidth, if not, we can have problems with buffering).
Here is the link to video: Youtube Mobile and Flash Player - YouTube
In the first part, I uninstall flash player and I show that videos on m.youtube.com are played the same, also without it.
In the second part, I change browser setting from: android ---> ipad, and I show the improvement to the video after this change (even if, really, it can't be appreciated a lot, for low quality of my filming).
