[Q] youtube app 'cannot play video' - XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey, i have trouble installing the youtube app for X1.
I used this tutorial:
- In order to get things moving, you’ll need an X1 (obviously), the YouTube application for your device (originally for the HTC Touch HD) and of course the YouTube panel itself. You can find the YouTube application for the X1 right here, and the panel is available here. Install the application first, and the panel after that. You might also need to run this installation file, if the panel is not working. If you’re using a non-English X1, you’ll have to check the comments below for a work-around. -
+ i modified the file in windows folder of my X1 from 0409 to 0413 (dutch code)
the application starts and loads perfectly but then says with every video 'cannot play video' after few seconds of loading time.
It has nothing to do with 'lack of edge/3G/wifi connection because i used this app before i did a hard reset on my phone. but now it wont work again
please help, thanks

TCPMP & flash bundle error

I've installed tcpmp & flAsh bundle to watch youtube video but I get this error when I try to play or save any video...
"Videoloader"
youtube swf args not found
Please Help
same error here.
I'm getting youtube vids fine, and i use TCPMP with the FLV 0.4.2 plugin (not sure if that's the same thing, but if it is, you can shoot me for my lack of knowledge)
I Use the one from Dutty, and it works good.
I uninstall and reinstall also the dutty but it gave me same error.
Is the program should be installed on the pda memory or on the sd card?
Are you viewing them on the website or YouTubePocket?
No, i use normal www.youtube.com

Uninstall any versions of tcpmp & flash bundle, then Install the versions below - tcpmp first, then flash bundle, then soft rest. That's it - full youtube vids will work now.
is it working now for you? I mean, at this time. Isn't possible a problem on youtube? Isn't it?
I've got always same error as above... It seems it cannot handle video with the core player

Wow, I thought this was impossible. I've had Flash installed once and it froze the hell out of PIE and Opera. Maybe I'll try these and see what happens.
I should probably also ask what browser you are using? Opera Mini isn't cable of Java and flash right?
**UPDATE** Gave it a shot in Pocket IE ad it says Media file type not supported. I got Tcpmp installed as well, leats I think its a current version.
I'm using IE on wm6.
Hi,
I experienced the same problem with the same configuration.
I think youtube's currently modifiying its way to display the video through
the desktop version of the website.
Unfortunately, the Htc device's owners (maybe the others mobile WM6 owners)
would not be able to display the youtube's video in the future.
I hope it will not the case !
I'm using WM6 with explorer on my xv6800. I removed all other TCPMP and Flash bundle versions and installed the ones that agrif78 provided earlier. Still sadly no dice. I still get the same errors whether I choose "play file" or "save file".
please bookmark this page
it updates whenever youtube changes its files
http://discussion.wmexperts.com/showthread.php?t=148801
then just possibly, we may have fewer posts about youtube and tcpmp
Ok I installed the newest version of vTap This little app will allow you to search specific videos and play them, so if you happen to know the title of a video clip you want to watch, this works great. It also displays the web address of where the video is located and I have successfully played some from the youtube. However it will not allow you to play videos directly from the website.(or at least if it does I have not figured it out, maybe someone could shed some light on that tidbit of info?) In short, you can seek out specific videos by title and watch them, but you still can not watch them directly from your web browser on the youtube site. But at least maybe I can still watch some of my favorite funnies until someone smarter than me comes up with a better solution. I'm pretty new with the whole smartphone and pda scene so if I have left out anything then please feel free to correct me. I hope maybe this has helped out some folks.
sorry about that ekw. I just noticed the post. Thanks for the info!
flash bundle
i got it to work. the main thing is to remember to do a soft reset after installing player and bundle
Help Plz!
plz, i'm installing the flash video bundle on my WM6.1 and i have this error:
Failed to install. Could not install the program or the configuration because it does not have the necessary permissions system.

can someone help me with siriusCE been searching forever!

wmp10 says something about the player supporting the format im trying to play and tcpmp says it cant open url. ive searched everywhere.
can someone please help
thanks
try siriuswm5 from geekstoolbox.com
sirius
i posted a thread a while ago
http://www.geekstoolbox.com/
this is the site you can get it from directly
awsome got it to work on WMP tcmp says i dont have the correct codec
i used the standard windows media player and it worked perfectly
See my related article in the Wiki
New HTC Kaiser, AT&T ROM 1.62.502.0
SiriuCE 2.0.1sp
Windows Mobile 6 Pro
Updated the Channel list fine, logs in fine
Using WMP10, it is invoked saying it is 'locating' and after what I think is 60 or so seconds, then returns the error "cannot play the file. The file is either corrupted or the player does not support the format you are trying to play"
Using TCPMP 0.72RC1 (latest) I get "Can't open URL"
I've tried variations of soft resets and switching players, so far no luck.
You mention a wiki article, but i am unable to find it in the long list of links in the XDA-Wiki page...if you think that might help me resolve this issue, can you link to it please?
I wonder if this isn't a compatibility issue with the latest Compact Framework that ships with this ROM/WM6? Not sure at the moment how to remove this....thoughts?
Thanks very much
UPDATE:
Resolved.
Uninstalled
Reinstalled from GeeksToolBox: http://forums.geekstoolbox.com/showpost.php?p=3292&postcount=2
Added WM9 Codecs: http://forums.geekstoolbox.com/showpost.php?p=1983&postcount=3
I also installed TCPMP from that link, but didn't need it.... soft reset, loaded SiriuCE, and bingo - Sirius on my Kaiser under WM6.

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 .

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

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

Missing Plugin?

Hi brothers & sisters,
Recently, I tried surfing youtube with my kaiser and using Opera 9.
But whenever I tried to view a video, it says either I do not have the latest flash player or my java script has not been enabled.
I downloaded the latest flash player 7 and my java script has been enabled, but still I am unable to view.
This applies to some of the application in facebook and other website.
What is the missing plugin?
What should I do?
You help and advices are very much appreciated..
Thank you!!!
Try HTC streaming Media Plug in. On HTC site

I tried http://www.htc.com/www/supportdownloadlist.aspx?p_id=13&act=all but still unable to find that plugin.
You won't get a plugin for OPERA as of yet!
OPERA states clearly on their BETA notice that "Browser plug-ins are disabled by default due to non-existent or incomplete system" and "Flash plugins and embedded video streaming do not work."
http://www.opera.com/products/mobile/download/
You will have to wait for a later BETA Release or for the final (commercial) version!
As already suggested by jvfowlerjr, you can use the STREAMING MEDIA PLAYER - easiest way of doing it:
Open Pocket IE, switch its view to SINGLE COLUMN, go to YOUTUBE - enjoy! The SMP will start automatically each time you click on a video.
Ok, so I am trying to stream videos from youtube through pocket IE, but every time I go to open a video, it opens in mobile real player. How do I redirect it to open in htc smp, so I can actually watch videos?
try as follow:
TCPMP0.72RC1 with FlashVideoBundle (search forums for thoose) and you will able to play streaming from IE.
If you are located in United States - then try Skyfire browser.
And next time....
SEARCH! It has been covered bazillion times.
I hit search and was directed to this. I am in the US, and do use skyfire, but it's a pain in the ass when you can simply boot up piocket ie with your homepage set to mobile youtube. I' assuming then a tilt can not do it this way, or...?
Yes, it can!
I am not sure what ROM you're running on your device? The factory WM6.1 HTC shipped ROM has the streaming media player integrated.
I have somewhere a CAB installer (taken from a ZINC II) but I am not sure if that would run on WM6.0. I also don't know if you would have to extract the CAB and copy it manually to your Tilt due restrictions in the installer (as I said: it is taken from the ZINC II on WM6.1), however, getting it on there shouldn't be hard to do! If you want to give it a try, the file is attached below!
Sorry, I had to pack it in a ZIP file, the FORUM UPLOADER did not accept it as CAB - simply extract, copy to your device and try to install! If the installation does not work, get a CAB EXTRACTOR and extract the CAB file, then copy the content to your device.
If I am violating some copyrights, please drop me a line and I gladly will remove the attached file! It is the official ArcSoft Streaming Media Player without the HTC branding. Since this player is integrated in every official WM6.1 release (which is available for all TYTN II's) I don't think that posting the file is against copyrigths.
First, click on the link in my Signature to get you the easiest and best Searching results.
Sercond, What you are looking for in Opera 9.5 is Flash 3.1, So use the plug in search for "Flash 3.1 Phouki Opera".
That should anwser all your problems when you find that thread at Development ande Hacking forum..
Cheerz, Good Luck,
PS: Flash Works.

Cellular Video restored? How?

I'm using aruppenthals rom and would like ot get CV back on this device. There is a post on NAFT's thread (v3.2 ... 4 Flavors Total) where he says to go to post 4 and download the modified Opera.ini file, drop into Windows\Opera9 and install the cab file to make this feature work again. I can find neither file anywhaere. Can someone tell me where to find theese items and something a little more specific than 'somewhere in the 148 page thread.
you can use these two cabs and it should work again for you. one is the CV and the other is realplayer not to be confused with REALONE player. the actual controls will be a little garbled in the player since this was a cab Sakajati (chef) extracted for the tilt (qvga). vids play fine though.

All in one solution
Use the attached file, it an all in one solution. It will install Real Player and Cingular Video and it's much smaller footprint. Just remember to change your user agent to HTC-8900 with Advanced Config and to run the Hidden proxy.
only problem with that cab is it will keep asking you to save them to the device first. my cab will stream them, no need to save them.
I've tried both with no success. Either way Real palyer does not even open. The 'Streaming Media' player opens and then errors out saying something about not being able to. I'm guessing that it is not set to be the default player in this rom. I'm using rup's 3.3 .
First off you need to change the Opera.ini file. Its located (some ROM's may vary) in the "Windows" under the "Opera9" folder.
Lately there have been a lot of errors "File re-entry not allowed" with Streaming Media Player. I think it is a compatibility issue with the ROM's.
If you are getting this error there is no need to change it to Real Player if you don't want to. I am not going to take credit for this, just in finding it. I would give the page where I found it, but unfortunately I cant remember where. Below is a cab, install it to your device and it should play video again just fine. The only problem right now is the fact that the player doesn't match the screen size, but at least the videos play.
Both these files are in my CAB FILES BELOW on 4shared under AT&T Fuze, cab's, "fixes".

They won't work because streaming media player has registry settings to open when you click the button to stream the content. Most custom ROM's now come with it built in and make it uninstallable.
In order to change the "streaming content" to Real Player would require you to change those settings. Can be done, but without being able to delete the streaming media player, to me its just a waste of space.

So I'm resurrecting this thread because I'm sorta in the dark here. First off, it's taken me forever just to find a download of the AT&T CV cab file! (This is actually more about the blood feud between me and the XDA search engine. )
I seem to be missing something, though. Where do these two cabs, Opera.ini and Diamond Streaming Media, fit in the whole CV solution? Am I still supposed to install the 'ATT_Cellular_Video_v2.cab', but use this streaming media cab instead of the RealPlayer cab above? What if I already have streaming media installed? (Which I do. Using EnergyROM 3.0)
Also, for god only knows what reason, when I tried to start CV after installing the cab provided above, it started PIE, NOT Opera. And it said it couldn't find the "http://cingularvideo.cingular.com", which is what it defaulted to.
I've seen about a dozen postings about the Opera.ini file, but none of them tell you what to do after that! I suppose if you've gotten the "only on 3G" error, you're already far enough ahead of me to know that!
Anyway, If the CV app tries to get to a site that doesn't even exist, where do you go from there?!?
Hell, I don't even fully understand what the "CV" app itself does, if you can go through a browser and have some streaming video app installed, then what does this app do? Obviously, I've never even gotten that far!
BTW, I have tested to make sure my device it attached to the web. I can reach anywhere else. I'm also set up to use wap.cingular, and I have the hidden proxy installed.
Basically, I need help understanding which of the above installation files goes with which, and what the CV app is supposed to do when it starts, since I assume opening IE to go to an address it can't reach is not standard behavior!
Any help will be much appreciated! Thanks!
P.S. The Opera.ini cab above contains an "Opera.ini.txt" file. Shouldn't it just be Opera.ini?
