Tweak to fix YouTube?

it sucks, but for the time being, im running youtube videos through safari. it's alot faster.

i heard changing DNS to google's dns might work, but in my case, it was just still slow.
 
If you have an iPod Touch 4 or iPhone 4, its because its loading the video in 720p.

Youtube App Buffer Fix:

Tired of waiting 2 years (or what appears to be 2 years) for your youtube app to buffer? If so, this is a hack for you. Thanks to

sidhant92, we are now able to have our youtube app stream the desired video in a bandwidth

desired resolution (not the 720p wifi death trap).

In order to apply this hack,

iOS 4.1-4.3.x

Navigate to:
Code:

/System/Library/CoreServices/SpringBoard.app/N81AP.plist

Edit
Code:

<key>720p</key>
<True/>

To
Code:

<key>720p</key>
<false/>

Finally, reboot your device.

I don't think you can differentiate the difference between a 480p video and a 720p video on a 3.5 inch screen...
