I'm trying to get back to the point where I could access Youtube Mobile and I can't.
A little while after I got my Kaiser (Feb 08), I changed some setting to send me to the regular Youtube site rather than Youtube Mobile and give me the option to watch or save the movie. I can't remember at all what the settings were. I've since flashed the rom on my phone multiple times and the settings are still that way. The Save on the setting is unreliable, and whenever I try to watch it tells me to get the latest Flash player (which I've downloaded and installed repeatedly).
I just want to be able to watch Youtube vids every now and then. Help?
Solution
1) Install HTC Streaming Media
and go 2 youtube in pocket IE, and when u click on 'watch video', Streaming media will open up
Video quality/speed/etc = 5 or 6 outta 10
or
2) Install the user developed Youtube Client which is based off the Touch HD/HTC diamond youtube player/program and use that. I think its available on this forum, search for it.
Video quality/speed/etc = 7 outta 10
3) Buy Coreplayer , rather inexpensive, google it.
Video quality/speed/etc = 9 or 10 outta 10

can they be watch on the phone through any browsers? I thought the opera mini would be able to since it is a java based browser but it didn't for me, still told me I didn't have the right plugin or java turned on.
any ideas?
i have yet to get anything besides PIE working with youtube. Opera Mini works inside of the java VM, and Picsel and Opera Mobile just don't work.
You should really use the search feature.
However.
I can view full Youtube videos using TCPMP and FLV bundle. If I click on a youtube link in PIE then TCPMP opens and starts playing automagically. PIE will open 3gp videos in Streaming Media from m.youtube.

this is the link for unlimited video with youtube on our phones
thanks for the info
when i tried to go to youtube in PIE it loads up the program but always give me the error media type not supported
I am going to try the instruction on the link when I get home from work.
anyone got the above method working on a Vario 3 on T-mobile UK web and walk basic? think they might be restricting it somehow.
Try using vTap, it's free and REALLY good in my opinion (it's all in one so you watch the video inside the app, not with external program - although it actually uses tcpmp, but it's embedded)
edit: and it uses less bandwidth (can choose between 4 settings combining normal/better audio, normal/better video... aaah you'll see, it's really great)

Works fine over wi-fi edit: also works fine over 3G HSPDA
I have searched the site and found a bunch of threads on viewing you tube vids, however there are so many post edits etc. that I can't follow which .cab etc we are supposed to be using.
I have downloaded that TCMP and the new version of flashget but still no luck.
Can someone that has a tilt please post what they are using and if it works on this thread - many thanks!!!!
I simply go the mobile version of you tube (m.ca.youtube.com). When I click on a video link the HTC Streaming application (which came with my Kaiser) starts up and plays the video. That simple.
Two notes, however;
1) Over my WiFi connection I need to configure my wifi router to put my Kaiser in the "DMZ - Demilitarized Zone" so as to allow full access to the internet. Otherwise the RTSP streaming fails and the HTC Streaming application complains about an inability to access the connection.
2) Streaming doesn't work over GPRS for me. This is most likely due to my cell phone carrier not allowing full internet access (much like when I don't have my WiFi router configured to put my Kaiser in the DMZ).
To use the "proper" YouTube, as opposed to the mobile version, you need these two .cabs:

I have both of these intstalled with duttys rom ver 4 and I still get the "failed to find network" error in streaming media when using 3g att or wifi. I used to have no problem streaming vids (besides it being really slow and chopy) over att when I was using an older duttys touchflo 6 for att.
I searched too but all I found was some blurbs about youtube changing addressed and wifi in DMZ mode (which neither seemed to apply)
but I am a tard so who knows...

Sorry I meant Flashlite...my error
I downloaded those two files that the previous poster suggested, still no luck. I also tried the HTC streaming file - installed that - still no luck
Is anyone really watching you tube vids or is this whole thing some sort of practical joke that I haven't been let in on - LOL
I'm not a noob by any means, I just can't seem to get this to work.
Figures too - because AT&T just "turned on" the 3G network today in my area - I now have very fast internet speeds, but no you tube (
ok......which youtube are you browsing? the mobile one.....or the desktop one?

Nothing happens when I click on a vid on the mobile site - it just sits there (Opera mini) doesn't show loading - nothing.
On the desktop one it says I either don't have flash enabled, or I need the newest version - which I have
I appreciate you helping me with this - I'm sure I am not alone on this issue 0 judging by what I'm reading here
ah, try using internet explorer
Follow these steps & pay attention...
Dude, Seriously...You may have read the thread, but you really need to pay attention to what you read. FLASHGET??? FLASH LITE??? Both of these have NO IMPACT on playing flash video.
What you need is:
(A) TCPMP either .72 or .81 (You said you have)
(B) FlasVideoBundle
Instal This:
http://rapidshare.com/files/87945596/FlashVideoBundle.CAB
After installing, make sure that the following files were all copied to the TCPMP root directory (i.e. For .72 \Programs\TCPMP or \Storage Card\Programs\TCPMP or for .81 \Programs\TCPMP\Player):
DiagVL.exe
DisableVL.exe
flvffmpeg.plg
flvsplitter.plg
MenuToggle.exe
VideoLoader.dll
These files must be in the TCPMP directory! It should do it automatically if you use .72. However, for .81 you must copy the files by hand.
After insuring the files have been coppied to the right directory, then launch TCPMP & go to preferences & set the file associations for the flash video, i.e. flv)
Note: without the current version of FlashBundle Youtube will no longer work. I have attached the most current version to the link above.
AND YES, you must use either PIE or (OPERA Mobile 8.65 (NOT MINI) with the macromedia flash player 7).

Dude, excuse the hell out of me...when neither the TCPMP and flashvideo bundle worked - someone suggested flash lite so I installed that as well...I don't think I EVER read where you couldn't use opera mini - thank you to you guys for pointing that out. I will try what you just posted, thanks for taking the time to help someone who obviously "didn't pay attention to what I read"
I can provide some insight, although I really new at this. I installed both cabs and can view all youtube videos through a portal site called ytpocket.com, using the search field at the top. This does not address the larger issue of how to play streaming flash videos from other websites. Specifically, on real youtube, I get the error message "youtube swf args not found" and the title bar of the error message is "VideoLoader." I have no idea what this means.
I also can't get the m.youtube.com site to play videos becuase the Real Player doesn't recognize 3gp files, and my attempts to associate these files with TCMP have apparently failed.
Hope this helps and hope someone smarter than me can solve these two problems! Thanks all.
dt, for the mobile youtube, install htc streaming media
I have been trying all day to get this working, downloading program after program, which proved to be nothing but a waste of time and aggravation of nerves. I want to be able to stream media then and there, without having to save it first. I tried tcpmp, wvd, flash lite 3.1, and al lthe plugins, still nothing. When i go to a website it keeps telling me i either don't have java enabled or flash is missing. i even got flash 7, still said the same thing. I mean youtube is pretty smooth, via you tube app, but if i am reading an email and i click on the link, it goes to stupid streaming media and doesn't even load. BOOO!
I am a CDMA Telus Diamond user. Is there anything I can do to just freely watch media on the web. I go through opera sites, still bummer. I have been on this all day, and am rather exhausted. If you can offer help, please do so without reproachful scorn. Much appriciated. What should I download, and how should i work it. Any chance of making pornhub work?
Yes, I've searched and searched, this forum and others and can't seem to get this to work. I've installed the Flash Bundle and TCPMP, in the same place and neither IE or Opera 9 will stream even youtube mobile videos. What am I doing wrong?
BTW, stock ATT tilt WM 6.1
Thanks
Google youtube play
its an awesome program that allows you to play videos as well as save them and convert them into audio files which is pretty sweet for ringtones
haha
Oh and if you really want it browser style try skyfires new browser
opera mobile 9.5 is still in beta and does not currently support video
Or flash the latest official HTC WM6.1 ROM. It is the STREAMING MEDIA PLAYER integrated and works without additional configuration even through Pocket IE.
download skyfire browser and you should be able to view youtube videos with no probs or any video

I flashed the latest official HTC WM6.1 ROM as soon as it was released from AT&T a couple months ago, and still nothing (not PIE not Opera, not Iris) will stream video for me except Skyfire.
Just a quick question... did you do a soft reset?
If so and it still doesn't work then unistall your tcpmp and flashbundle.
I was having the same problems until I installed this combination of cabs.
1 TCPMP-0.72RC1-ARM-PPC-recomp-03.CAB
2
Obviously, install to the same location, soft reset and let the videos begin. To see applicable websites go to start\programs\video sites.html
Hope this works for you.
a solution if you're willing to pay a bit
I used TCPMP with the flash bundle with no problem for WM 6.0, but started having trouble with the 6.1 version as well. My solution... go with the upgraded version of TCPMP (CorePlayer). Yes, you have to pay for it, but it can allow for direct search/play of Youtube videos. It's also a pretty fanfreakintastic media player. It's going to cost you about 30 clams, but for me, it's well worth it. I've been playing videos and music with it nonstop since WM 6.1 came out without any problems. No crashing, no excessive pauses, nada.
Hey guys, If I'm in the wrong area, I apologize.
I was wondering if there was a better youtube app for the HTC Fuze. The native youtube app, and the google youtube app are nice, but they do not play the full range of videos available on youtube, (ex. try looking up the music videos for "What you got" by Colby O'donis, or "Dangerous" by Kardinal Offishall, forgive my taste in music). You will not be able to find the music videos for these songs like you would on a desktop computer.
I've tried Coreplayer, and WVD player, but they either take a really long time searching or there is great difficulty finding videos.
I know this sounds funny but I'm quite surprised that there is difficulty for flash videos on winmo. I have a psp, and the youtube app is amazing (you also have the ability to go to other video hosting websites). Is there a youtube app that is equivalent to a desktop computer or the psp?
Thank you for your time.
ive been a bit dissapionted also in the phone because i tell everyone how much better the touch pro is than the iphone and then it cant do high quality youtube videos. please someone prove me wrong
if you go to the settings icon at the top and hit high quality instead of fast speed they look pretty damn good....
Yeah but if you're running a stock ROM the video skips because it can't process or keep the video and audio in sync..don't know what causes the problem. Not sure if that happens on cooked ROMs though
Have you tried coreplayer 1.3.2 youtube section after pressing views. It has settings out the a**! Hi,Lo,3g,FLV,H264 720p. Beautiful!! Try that if you havent!
But coreplayer is a commercial app, it is not free
btw I tried this software but was unable to make it work for youtube, it never finds anything...
