Youtube working with HTC streaming media

Hi all,
This is my first post but I hope it will help. Also, beeing french, it might be crawling with mistakes.
I've been looking around for a way to have youtube working on my Kaiser. Here is what I wanted :
- possibility to launch youtube videos from the m.youtube.com site
- possibility to watch TV (from the SFR portal page)
- using HTC streaming media to play the videos
Here is what I did not want :
- using youtubeplay (which is a great app but I like to be able to search or to play specific videos)
- using the TCPMP plugin (for no specific reason except the I was deadlocked on using HTC streaming media)
My config is :
- HTC Kaiser
- ROM : ROMeOS v4.1 with some tweaks for french (keyboard mainly)
- SFR Illymithics (France)
After several unsuccesfull atempts (despite searching the forum), I finally found a solution.
First, I installed the HTC diamond streaming player found in this forum (thx P1Tater for posting it). Appart form updating the app to a newer version, I did not change the fact that I couldn't play videos. The error message was always the same : "error connecting".
Second, I added the following REG key :
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\StreamingDShow]
"OpenOriginalUDPPorts"=dword:00000001
Videos are now working perfectly.
For the record, I did not find the solution. A friend of mine had the same problem with his Diamond. He found a cab version of HTC streaming media which seemed to work. I tried it on my Kaiser and except for the VGA interface, videos did work perfectly. I then compared this app with the one listed above and I found 2 differences :
- the above reg key
- a newer version of Emz3GPStreamingFilter.dll
The new DLL did not seem to improve anything so I just droped it.
Since the Diamond working cab was sent to me by email, I don't want to post it here 'cause I do not know where it's from. It's called Tom's HTC diamond streaming media (or something similar) if you wish to look for it.
Well I hope this help.

Thanks for your feedback but.... the m.youtube.com already works fine with the french shipped rom, isn't it ?

I don't know about the French shipped Rom. If you mean the WM6.1 FRA found here, it did not work for me. I did not try going back to the the SFR ROM which is still in WM6. i tried several other Roms (French or others) found here but had the same issue. What's your Rom based on ? Any preferences on the existing roms ?

Thanks for your post. I am facing the same problem ...
the registry key that you mention, how did you find it?

Nice, I'm going to have to try this out. I keep getting the "connecting" issue.

for your first post this is good work and another way of getting youtube to work for people.
-youtube player works great
-skyfire as well
add your tweak to the list (although I haven't tested it yet I acknowledge you and your friends discovery)

Well, as I explained, after trying several version of the streaming media app, I finally stumbled upon one that actually worked. Since it wes for VGA, I had to find what difference there was to other streaming media app.
I do not know what this reg key means or even does. I just point out that whithout it I could not get youtube video working.
-youtube player works great
-skyfire as well

Well, I know youtube player works. However, you can only see predefined feeds (or maybe you have another version of the player)
I do not know about Skyfire but it says you have to be in the US to get it so I ll have to wait for the first official release.

Thanx alot!!

Maybe the solution
I had that problem to.
it wasn't even possible to connect with messenger .
what i did was..!!
I have disabled the proxy using of my g/3g/HSDPA connection and it works fine with streaming media on my tytn2 kaiser..!

I screwed htc media...
I think I screwed htc streaming media.
I have an XDA Orbit II with htc streaming media 2.2 (built 1026.711) pre-installed. I could open Youtube videos from Explorer with no problems.
I installed flash player 2.1, real-player and TCMP as I was playing with Opera 9.5 (as many of you…)
The result is that htc streaming media (using Explorer) is not associated with youtube videos anymore. I have removed all other players form the ppc but it still doesn’t work. Every time I click on a video I just see the opening bar for 1sec and that’s it.
I tried to re-install htc media I found in the post but It doesn’t work (installation unsuccessful).
Does anybody know how to configure the htc again?
I went in the reg but I don’t know the keys to change.
Please help

I'm very thanks for you

I've downloaded HTC diamond streaming player from the link and added the registry but still won't play after showing Buffering activity for 7 secs.
Help please....

Great! Thank you very much for this registry key:

Thanks.

Is there any youtube downloader that is working on this device?

bbc iplayer on android

is it comeing to android ? i think i read somewhere is was like 2 weeks ago cant remember exactly where is this true?
and is there any tv sreaming apps for android?

Search Marketplace for "Beebplayer"
Works well over WiFi - No download and its not offical.

Has anyone got this working on 3G in the UK? Or anywhere for that matter?
I keep getting "Cannot play this video" which apparently means the carrier does not support iPlayer (?)
Does this mean that T-Mobile UK block the iplayer ports? Could we get this to work with an ssh tunnel or something?

It doesnt seem to be in the market anymore????
Anyone have the apk?
Cheers

It is still in the market, just a bit hard to find. You need to search for 'beebplayer'
Attached the apk (zipped) anyway.

Cheers for the zip!!!
Thats totally weird I did of course carefully search for beebplayer and I never got a hit?!
Anyway I'll try the apk, thanks.

for any who can't get it to work, it needs 1.5 firmware.

This is an impressive implementation, and the only choice to hand, however as the owner of both an iPhone 3g and a white G1 i have to say the the comparison between the two shows up just how much better the iPhone h.264 streams are to the mobile streams used via the mobile iPlayer portals.
It's a shame these streams can't be utilised by the developer, but I imagine the G1 just doesn't have good enough graphics acceleration to cope with it

Getting the iPhone streams on there was my first choice - in fact all the code to resolve the streams is in beebPlayer but unused. The problem is that the G1 can't play the iPhone streams.

Actually, the G1 is more than powerful enough. The problem is that the iPhone streams are in a .MOV container that the G1 video player can't decode. It's annoying - it's SO close to being MP4 which would be perfect, but of course Apple had to ruin the party!

Does that mean if the streams weren't in a .mov container we'd be able to use the direct iPhone iplayer page using the Steel browser and the iPhone user agent spoof option?
That would be pretty cool.
Impressed as I am with this app the mobile streams are just too poor for me.

Hi DaveJ!
Is there any chance you could put server/port options in beebplayer (or release source code) so that I can play around with getting it to work through a proxy? I'd love to be able to use this app over 3G...
Thanks for making a great app! (and great maps )

Nearly... the next issue there would be to deal with the media player spoofing, as iPlayer checks the HTTP request and expects it to be exactly the same request and behaviour as the QuickTime player on the iPhone, and is actually the trickiest bit to copy.
In Python, this was fairly easy to forge. On Android's Java however, it likes to make forging this very difficult and is what gave me most of my problems when I last tried it.

This is theoretically possible, but is actually pretty similar to the iPhone media player problem - it would need a custom video player app, rather than the one built-in to Android that beebPlayer currently uses (beebPlayer never touches the video streams itself.)
I'm already toying with the idea of a custom video player which would deal more pleasantly with errors (particularly "Video cannot be played" could use a better description!) but it's not my priority right now unfortunately.

Have you seen the Windows Mobile implementation of iPlayer done by a guy here at XDA-Devs? (It's called myPlayer)
That can use VLC on a desktop PC to re-encode the BBC streams to more suitable sizes for mobile devices, this also gives the option of viewing live tv channels (which the BBC now broadcast online) as the mobile app uses telnet to command VLC to open the BBC stream, convert it on the fly.. then streams it to the phone.
Would be great to have something like that on android, and may help with the quality issue of using mobile streams?

Any chance we can make use of get_iplayer?

i like this app. im only really able to run it over 3g when i use adrenalin

since running JACs hero roms beebplayer is working for me on 3g as well as wifi with t-mobile UK.
I don't know if this is a change in T-mobile's blocks on streaming or because of the hero rom. but shhhhhhh keep it quiet, I don't want TMob to switch it off again...

MyPlayer
Any chance you could get together with the developer of Myplayer for Windows Mobile? I really like Beebplayer, works a treat on my Hero ... but I'd really really like to be able to listen to Radio 5, which Myplayer lets you.
Cheers

what a great (not previously found) app.... thank you.
Been watching the wifi stream over 3G without a problem couldnt ask for anything more.
t-mobile UK
JF ADP1 1.5

great app,
this app is great!, couldnt find it with a search on the market place, if you have trouble, view all applications in the marketplace and keep scrolling till you see it, i couldnt find it with a search for some reason,
this app works like a charm over wifi, really fast and great quality,
i have a g1 and on the network "three". I have no problems with using beebplayer over 3g, the app also tells you the download size just in case your on a limited data plan.
this is a must have application, just wish thier was on for demand 5, and channel 4od.

Audible Player Skins [WVGA & VGA]

VGA is just a scaled version of the QVGA.
WVGA is an iPod-like Look & Feel. My apologies
To install, unpack in your "Program Files/Audible/Skins" path.
Enjoy!

Excellent! Now my Xperia looks as it should with Audible.

Nice skin, but do you guys use the Audible player?
I like what you have done, and I know this is a little OT, but I could never get that prog to work. I tried it multiple times on a Wizard, and then on my Tilt. I would always have trouble accessing the library, or it would tell me that I had no connection, when I could surf or email fine. When their support people wanted me to wipe (as in hard reset) my phone to troubleshoot, I gave up on the mobile app. I was so happy when I found Kinoma that I bought it just for the Audible support. I usually put books on my Zune, but I stream the morning paper every day to my Tilt.

Does anyone have a skin for Audible Player that will show correctly on the Treo Pro?
Thanks in Advance!

Green Skin for WVGA (480x800)
Put everything from the zip file into /Program Files/Audible/Skins. Screen shot attached. Enjoy.

Thanks Theory! Nice, clean skin.

Long timo ago till this threat was opened, but:
I use a HTC HD2 with WVGA resolution.
I copied your files to the destined folder. I am able to choose f.e. the ipod skin. But this is huge: I only can see the upper left quarter of the skin!!!
Has anyone an idea why this happens?
The original green skin is ugly and seems also not the right resolution.
Thanks for your answer!
Ps: I installed audible player at the storage card. May this be the problem?

I have the same problem like Prisonierung.
I'm using a HD2 and the AudiblePlayer is installed to the storagecard.
Is there a solution?

Audible Player For Htc Hd2?

You need to install the format 3 version first, then audible manager asks you to update. After this you can play all formats.

Hey gus,
i got a problem with the resolution, no matter which skin i choose... they all look pretty similiar, i just can see the upper right corner.
I'll attach a picture to show you what i mean.

Quick question about music player

I'm the former owner of a Kaiser and I really love that phone I'm in the process of replacing the screen but in the meantime I bought a G1 and I kinda fell in love with it but there's still 3 things I miss 2 I don't think will every be on google os is tomtom, windows live. and htc album manager so my question is can htc album manager be cooked or flashed or pushed to the android ? I really liked the music player cause it had audio manager which was the equalizer so can this be done or is there an equalizer for the g1 I have the audiohack and the headphone booster there's like no overall sound cause I use my phone as my mp3 when I'm driving so the external speaker is louder but distored and the headphone boost is not that great. Any input is greatly appreciated

I don't believe there is any third party player that has an equalizer or whether the HTC Music app from the Hero has one. Nothing can ever ported from Windows Mobile.

yea I figured that when I first got my g1 and tried 2 download winlive and it said it can't be run on google system oh well maybe microsoft will make a winlive app 4 google one day. and maybe on of these great devs on here will make a equalizer 4 the g1

But you can get the GPS program now, its called CoPilot. And if you want to log onto windows live messenger, can't you use meebo?

Is the CoPilot app in the market or is it a software program ? Also I didn't use the windows live messenger I just liked the live search guess I did say windows live forgot to put the search on there my bad but thanks 4 the input I really appreciate it

CoPilot is on the Market for like $35 or something. Its a full nav software with online updates as well as offline navigation. From what I hear, definitely worth the money.

yea it does especially if u can update it online and it's free. Sounds awesome thanks will look into it

[Q] HD7 confused owner?

Hi every one i hope you guys could help with my hd7, i just got it and very happy with it but there is some stuff i dont understand like for example why i cant not stream online radio like on my hd2 if is a windows device and its thru windows media player. no flash, i feel like windows 6.5 could do more and after using android on the hd2 im cosidering going in to a tmobile g2. but i love windows more than android because of the online streaming, is that something they working on or should i go back to hd2. thanks

You could get a Zune pass and stream music not free though but very good

i keep in touch with local news and music back home the zune pass is for all those artist that are lucky to get a record label.

I found several apps that will stream music, you can try "iheartradio" app. It has you select a region and has local stations (a bit behind the actual broadcast if you listen to both simultaneously) and there are specialty stations. There is also "Slacker" I like "iheartradio" a bit more though.
