Yeah i have, i downloaded core player as wrll but it didnt work, when i played a video the bbc app would crash, then sometimes it would say "sorry bbc denied access" or there would be some random errors, or the screen would freeze and i would have to take out the battery, or sometimes the interent would not work, seems like a extremely bugg app, but no one else seems to have these problems.
Anyone in the Uk used iplayer on the X1, did it work?

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)

Just upped a video and tried searching on the mobile site. It was searchable and could view it with the HTC Streaming program.
This is why i made this post:

The whole reason for me posting this cab is because youtube changed the way that files are played. So the TCPMP and FLV plugins no longer work.
EDIT: There is a new flashvideobundle released fixing the youtube with tcpmp problem.. The link is below. Includes the right version of TCPMP also..

I can't watch any vids from that site, HTC streaming media says "No network could be found" Tried all my connections in the options tab.
It doesnt matter if I'm connected via 3G or through my local DSL connection via USB, same result.
I'm using HTC streaming media 2.20 (Build 1007.717)

Install this version over what you have now. open the options and make sure that the network is set to what you want it to be.

Seems ok for me, it open up stream media player and connecting......, still connecting......, only gprs availble right now, might take a little bit longger time. Looks going to connecting forever!!! No luck!
Could it be that youtube have blocked non-us ip-addresses?
When I click connect it pops up a dialog with a box that has:
rtsp://
In it. I tried putting http://m.youtube.com and rtsp://m.youtube.com - it errors with invalid URL.
Any idea how to proceed?
Found out that some mobile operators doesn't allow direct access to internet, hence rtsp protocol won't work.
However found that tcmp + flashbundle works great.
Note: this is for the non-mobile site, www.youtube.com
Might be a little more bandwith demanding.

Yup, as has also been explained in several of my Mobile YouTube-related articles. Unfortunately, the majority of them use NAT.

thanks!
Thanks,,, it works great on AT&T
Not sure if this is related, but I have both the flash bundle and the tcpmp installed and I still get an error message when trying to play something on m.youtube.com
error code is 0X8007274D
I tried this both in IE and opera and it's the same. Thanks
did this just recently happen??
i was at the beach with my friend yesterday and she told me to go on youtube to see somthing and the video wouldnt work.
I have a feeling T-mobile Uk block the ports for streaming video. i open the browser fine, go to youtube fine, open the link fine, streaming media opens and tries to connect and i get a network failed mesage. I tried it several times and got the same thing
FlashVideoBundle has been fixed and is on the first post.

I guess it's because Opera Mini re-directs the page to another one which re-processes the page itself so that you can view it on your mobile... Ok, the explanation is not very detailed and professional
Anyway, it works like that.... at least, I read that!
hey, so how do i use it? when i get to it it pops up real player. is there any free program to replace it? i tried tcpmp but that did not work.
thanks

This has nothing to do with the device or the operating system. It has to do with having the right application.
Use TCPMP with the flash plugins available. Works like a charm.
flashvideobundle only works for the main youtube site, not the mobile youtube site.
mobile version is horrible compared to the real youtube site,that flashbundle really helps plus gives additional working sites that currently work with streaming video and more sites will be added eventually as the project develops
ok, i had this problem wit mobile youtube and cingular video, it wouldnt play and some error messages....so i feel dumb sayin this but, while the video is trying to stream check the settings (options) cuz mine was set to run off "internet" so i changed it to "My media network" and BAM there u go
but wit real player----> first in windows, show all files and sort by NAME then find the file "realplayer" and open it...then just settings and options for sources can be changed
I recently came back to the HTC fold after a year of uing Nokias by being given a Diamond for my Christmas and I've given my wife my N95. I have spent the last week searching various forums to try and solve the following problem.
I used to use my old phone to watch programmes I had downloaded from the BBC Iplayer site. I presumed it would be as easy as using Windows media player on my PC to sync the content to the Diamond as I could do with my old XDA Mini S. Unfortunately it's not !! I keep being hit with error messages saying that it requires a licence. I have tried downloading it with iplayer downloader and renaming the .mov file to mp4 which at least gives me picture but no sound on the Diamond. It is all the more galling when I see my daughter just dragging and dropping content onto her Creative Zen mp4 player and it plays without any hassle.
If someone could suggest a simple and hopefully guaranteed method I would appreciate it. I ahve searched the forum for this but all the threads relate to streaming content to the phone. This isn't really an option because I am on Orange with a pretty meagre data package.
Second that...
Yeah, I'd like to know the answer to that one too. I can play iPlayer programmes on the device via the video streamer thanks to the information in this forum, but I get the same lisence error if I try and play a programme I've downloaded on my PC... even though the download actually says it's for mobile devices?
Can anyone shed any light on this?

You'll have to search the forum for that one my friend... I can't remember where I saw the information. You have to update one of the settings in Opera to fool iPlayer into thinking your device is a Samsung Omnia, then visit the mobile iPlayer site and click away. The videos stream throught the pre-installed video streaming app on the device. (At least pre-installed in stock ROM's, if you're using a custom ROM then the cooker may have removed it!)
Happy searching!
The device needs to support playback of DRM protected content, to be able to playback the stuff downloaded from Iplayer. (something like that)
Thanks for that
It's not the streaming of programmes I'm trying to do it's playing files I have already downloaded and want to transfer to my Diamond

Have you tried coreplayer ?
Not the answer to the original question I know but a bit of info for streaming iplayer direct from the BBC website. I use Skyfire browser which is fine, and pretty quick.
Problem resolved
I did as suggested and installed coreplayer and I can play the content. I'll go through what i did because I'm not entirely sure that Coreplayer resolved the problem or no.
I downloaded Coreplayer and installed it on the phone. Because I had deleted the previous downloads I used my daughters laptop to transfer a programme she had downloaded to her Creative Zen. After I transferred it to my phone I went into File Explorer and clicked on the programme rather than opening in Coreplayer it opened in Windows media player. A warning popped up as usual "A licence is required to play this file" and it offered to download it as before. I thought "here we go again it'll fail to get the licence and won't play" but surprise surprise it played fine. Now I'm not sure if Coreplayer installs a codec that allows these files to play or whether the phone got a licence off my daughters laptop that was designed for the Creative Zen but bottom line is that it works. So I'm happy
I don't know what I'm doing wrong!!
The BBC website says the iplayer will stream to the HTC touch diamond, and that you go to www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer to access it. I do this and try to watch a programme then it says it needs flash player installing. When you click on the link to adobe it's for pc's.
I've tried installing flash lite 2.1 but this doesn't seem to connect with the iplayer.
It's as if iplayer doesn't recognise I'm using a mobile device.
Searching on here has turned up lots of alternative ways to view iplayer content, but I was hoping to do it directly from the website like the BBC say you can.
Am I just having a blonde day or am I missing something fundamental?
iPlayer has been covered to death, with numerous solutions to get it working. My favorite, Myplayer - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=501131&highlight=myplayer. Simply an awesome app, another option is iPlayer - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=475641&highlight=iplayer, sadly don't think it's being developed any further but very good to just download the show you want (through wifi) and watch it later.
HTH.
Thanks for that, I'll give them a go.
At least I know it's not me being stupid!!
