Youtube

anyone notice you can watch youtube videos(not mobile youtube) in pie after downloading the flash plugin?

I have already been doing so but by using the TCPMP and "FlashVideoBundle.cab" technique because PIE was never able to play videos directly from the youtube site. Opera 8.65 on the other hand could.
But maybe they have changed something lately at youtube and the videos work directly in PIE.
Could you please comment how is the video quality. Is it choppy?? because that is how it is on Opera 8.65 but on the other hand very smooth on TCPMP
Regards

How do you use the TCPMP and "FlashVideoBundle.cab" technique? Do you start with PIE and then, when you give the command to play the video, the TCPMP pops up and plays it? I have tried it several times and typically the Streaming Video player that comes with the Kaiser pops up and takes over. I have adjusted the TCPMP by checking the MMS and the video profiles etc., but cannot get it to come on line and take over from the native (Streaming Video Player) Kaiser program. Any thoughts?

When I installed TCPMP I too faced this problem that when I clicked on a movie in youtube the default streaming media player would pop up and not be able to play.
The only thing that I did which corrected the situation was :-
Start TCPMP player, navigate to Options / Select Page / File Associations / and check the following boxes in addition to the ones already checked by default.
MMS Protocol
HTTP Protocol
Flash Video
M3U Playlist Files (M3U)
Hope this helps

it is choppy but I think it is because there is no way to resize the video to fit the screen.

I tried everything but streaming media keeps coming n as the automatically preferred player..

Getting Streaming Video or Audio

I haven't been able to get any audio or video streams to work on the kaiser. I have tried both IE and Opera. With my treo 750 windows media player would open and the stream would begin. With the kaiser, I get a message re: save or open stream. Neither selection works. Any thoughts?

Bump please. I can't figure this out.

Pocket Player will stream .pls and other formats as well as wma. I found that the best way to do it is to set up PP as the default device associated with all media types (omfg I wish I could uninstall WMP). Then maneuver to the streaming link on your mobile browser (dito for Opera over PIE) and click on the streaming link and PP should open and pick it up. Works like a dream.
I always use KCRW to test streaming capability - it's the most reliable and stable I have found (not to mention it's also an awesome station...). Click on the "Listen" link and then look for the "Stand Alone Player" links. I prefer mp3 streams.
Hope this helps.

Youtube on Tilt

Is it possible to watch youtube videos on my tilt? i go to youtube.com and click on a vid and it says file type invalid and it's showing real player as the program to play the video, i downloaded TCPMP, went through all the instructions to get it set up correctly, but still the same thing, is real player the default program? if so how do i change that? so windows media or TCPMP is the correct one? thanks

Either get vTap (google it) or HTC Streaming Media. It has been posted here before very recently.

Couldn't i just make TCPMP or windows media player the default player? would that work? if so were do i make either one the default player, i couldn't find it in either program.

The HTC Streaming Media proggy will fix your problem. vTap is a self-contained app that pulls videos off google and youtube. Take yer pick.

just go to www.ytpocket.com it works the best out of all the you tube solutions ive tried

you just need tcpmp and flash bundle. Search on this forum. I've installed them and working youtube and all other flash base website playing fine on my tilt. Just browse through youtube, click on the video, tcpmp just opened by itself and play the video.

Thanks for the help, i've give these ideas a shot.

Tap http://m.youtube.com/ in your mobile browser. Vids will automatically launch in Streaming Media.

Anyone have a link to HTC Streaming Media download? i did a search but didn't see it.

that didn't work for me. Vtap however does work.

ive noticed that no matter what you install youtube will not work on some tilts

now i have the htc media player, i went to youtube.com, which takes me to m.youtube.com and i click on a video to see and it says failed to find network, it brings up the htc player now instead of the real player, but i get the same results and cant watch video, do i need to do anything w/the htc media player settings?

may be this link might help

ok, i've tried eveything mentioned here and some things mentioned on other threads and i still cant get youtube to work, the only thing i haven't tried is vtap and the only reason why is because when i go to install it on my TILT, i get an error that says " the file Vtap_pcc" can not be opened. either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of it's componets can not be found.
I deleted it from my tilt and tried it again, i made sure it was from the tilt selection on the vtap site, but still same error, Anyone able to help me with this, i've been working on this issue going on 3 days now.
also the error i'm getting when i go to youtube and click on a video link is "failed to conect to network" it opens up the streaming media player, and after about 5-10 seconds i get that error and it closes out.

did you find the HTC streaming media cab? That's what fixed it for me. vtap also works quite good.

I don't know if you tried the link I put above. Also look at this one: LINK

i used ytpocket on my wizard and now my kaiser. you can stream or download. works perfectly

I have HTC Streaming Media pre-installed on my Vario. I have since installed RealPlayer.
Now when I click on a YouTube video in IE nothing happens.
If I do it in Opera it tries to load the video in RealPlayer and fails with "Request failed".
How can I make the videos load in the HTC Player instead?

Ok I've got a tilt, so I've got the HTC Media player installed and I can now access m.youtube.com with no problems. However I would like to have access to the classic youtube.com however when I click a video it takes me to an error page saying to install flash player etc etc
What's the deal? Did I miss something? I thought the HTC player would handle standard youtube as well

Youtube Java app

So i installed the new Youtube java app on my tilt and i can get it to load up but when you try to watch a video it says "This phone can't stream videos". Heres the url to download it:
http://www.google.com/m/download/youtube/download?make=Nokia&model=N95&ver=v1.0.1
Maybe someone can get it to work.
p.s. i know its not meant for our phone.

I guess - YouTube will release the version for WM also

no there is no direct link right about now u have to ues the player and the buddle

why don't u just use vtap...??
much easier....

does vtap view youtube videos? whats the difference between vtap, youtube. java?
tvos

I've tested vtap some time ago. It has downloaded 2MB of data without displaying anything. Maybe other people don't have this problem, but I don't want to test this buggy app anymore.
For Youtube you don't need anything. Just visit http://m.youtube.com/ and watch the videos. The Kaiser (at least the TyTN II) has a stream player built in, which plays the videos very good.

vTap is a fantastic program!!! I have it on all my PPC's. Just like all programs there is a problem EVERY now and than, but overall it's a very solid (and free) program....
m.youtube.com does not have every youtube video. It's only the most popular ones. vTap has ALL youtube vidz streamed directly from tha web.....
If you want a service LIKE m.youtube.com go to ytpocket.com. You need to install TCPMP with tha plugin (which is at ytpocket.com )....
And are you SURE that m.youtube.com uses tha Streaming Media player? I haven't used it since it first came out, but I don't remember needing any programs.....

Tell me? Why would I suggest a program in a thread about playing youtube videos..... which doesn't play youtube videos?
Yes, it plays yt videos along with Google Video and other webclip sites. It also has a search engine for wikipedia....
vtap is program. youtube is a site which plays webclips. Java does not come into play in this at all. Most stuff on a PPC does not require Java because it has an operating system....
Any more questions....??

In the meantime they have nearly all videos (about 95%)!

If you are using GPRS/EDGE or UMTS without a flatrate m.youtube.com is the better way because there the vids are optimised for mobile devices. Of course the quality isn't very good, but not everybody is using WIFI.

Is there a decent player for tilt ?

ive tried like 5 different versions tcmpc and youtubeplay and I cant anything to play consistantly. any suggestion ?

What do you mean 'play consistently'? Are you having problems with music playback, or movie playback or both? Or are you having problems playing youtube video's through TCPMP? Perhaps you can elaborate

thanks for replying? Im trying to play a video off of youtube and the first second will start to play, then it will freeze up. If its not possible so be it. I just want to know if this is normal or is there something I can do to fix this

Are you on EDGE or 3g? It could simply be a buffering issue if I'm not mistaken. Have you looked into Coreplayer instead of TCPMP

I'm personally having serious problems playing videos off the non youtube website but can play videos (with lots of pauses for buffering) from the mobile youtube site.
If you're simply trying to play videos from the mobile youtube website, then I suggest you download the FLV plugin for TCPMP and configure your settings correctly. The correct settings can be found on the ytpocket.com website.
I don't know if you have 'flash video bundle' installed which some have said has helped them watch videos straight off youtube. It personally didn't work for me and so I've given up, but try viewing threads detailing issues simmilar to yours.
Flash Video Bundle

Edited to add: Coreplayer can only be purchased, it's not a freebee like TCPMP

well most of the time the phone displays HSDPA. I hope buffering is all it is. My cellular video plays fine. Ill try the coreplayer thanks.

Why not simply use vTap?
It can prebuffer the video or it can play directly from site if you use flv!
Also with vTap it is realy simple to search and you can watch videos from other sites too!

Is there anyway to get Coreplayer to launch directly from Youtube, or do you have to access it directly through the player. Also, do you know how to create playlist from videos viewed from youtube in coreplayer?

I've found that Streaming to TCPMP, with FlashVideoBundle, does not "keep alive" the connection. If I'm surfing the web everything is copasetic. I have Tweaked my phone to kill my Data Connection after 3 minutes. Surfing the web, it doesn't kill it after 3 minutes, or it reconnects supa-fast. But If I'm watching a You Tube Video via TCPMP if I'm not careful after three minutes 15 seconds the video stops and I notice my connection has been killed.
