Youtube viewing on mobile - XPERIA X10 General

For example : http://www.youtube.com/results?sear...&search=Search&sa=X&oi=spell&resnum=0&spell=1
When viewing on computer, when searching songs etc, featured video will be on the top, most of the time will be official music video.
However searching on phone using the youtube application, there wont be a featured video and even we have the direct link to the official music video, it can't be played. It will say "The video is not available for mobile"
Any ideas to make youtube searching be the same as computer and able to view those video that wont be available on mobile?

Did you use the youtube player to search the video... ?
Or just the webservice..?

I use both youtube application and browser to search but both is the same, can't display the offical music video of any songs.

try using another app like jetvd, u can search youtube that way and it plays videos that the youtube app cant. and if u long hold on it, you can actually download the video as well

lol.
Sure, write the content provider a strongly worded letter than you don't care for their copyrights and wish to view things on your phone.
The reason is they have the rights to show the video on a computer only. Those rights don't transfer to mobile devices or devices hooked up to a TV, like the PS3, Wii, or Google TV.

@isiyou125: OMG Thanks, it work now!!
@iead1 : You're wrong, the jetvd apps make it able to play it on mobile!

No. I'm right.
The app you're using is a way to circumvent copyright protection. Officially, YouTube doesn't have the mobile rights to that video.

Yea correct. Anyway I don't care about it when I still able to watch those video "not available on mobile" on my mobile.

www.tv-links.co.uk site and Windows Mobile

Don't know if this is the right forum to post this...
Anyway, some of you may be familiar with the site above. If you aren't check it out... it's great. Full lenth movies, shows, cartoons, music videos, whatever you would get on your regular TV, neatly organized based on titles and types.
I make extensive use of this site from my computer, and the shows encoded with divx can be saved on the hard drive. However, I seem to be unable to use this very site from my Wizard. Rather, the site opens just fine, but none of the linked content actually plays. I know this is a plugin issue of sorts, I just haven't been able to either find the right ones or get around it somehow.
Tried all browsers... Opera, PIE, Minimo and Netfront... nothing...
If anyone out there knows about it or has a workaround, please post it.
The thing is, TV-Links hosts links to the sites that actually have the video, and these sites vary. For example, a lot of the anime is on veoh.com, so you'd probably need plugins for the individual players.

This is the choice from our XDA's: http://m.youtube.com (I.E and Streaming Media Player)will do the rest.They are still uploading videos,so if you try to watch the same videos as they have on youtube.com it's not gonna be possible,but little by little we'll get it.
By the way it's also impossible for me to watch the videos from that website in the UK(which seems to be way cool. ;-)

YouTube Downloading

Hi, i know the touch diamond has a you tube application, but does it allow you actually download the videos and watch it later without any connections. or is there any other application that will allow me to download youtube videos??
Thanks !
Well I know you can paste the youtube url of the video on a site like keepvid.com and it lets u dl the file in mp4 format, and use the built in video player to play it smoothest
No, the YouTube application does not allow one to save the videos to the device, though I can say it is a great little application. They seem to have kept it rather basic, yet done a great job with it.
You have access to what I believe is all the videos from YouTube, so not like with the iPhone where you had videos compressed and put into a format suitable for iPhone.
With the YouTube application, you can Bookmark your favourite videos, search videos, see lists of top rated, featured and most popular videos, you can send someone links to the videos by email (not really looked at that feature) and there is the setting where you can have it on fast download or higher quality streaming and then there is auto which I think is based upon your internet connection speed.
To watch the videos, there is no better application out there that I am aware of. I also use CorePlayer occasionally too.
As the previous poster mentioned, you can access YouTube through your web browser, take the URL, copy and paste it in at Keepvid.com and then save the file to your device that way.

How can i download the youtube video after i watch on htc youtube player

How can i download the youtube video after i watch on htc youtube player
thx
Youtube
You can't, videos are owned by youtube.
there is a program that lets you do this. its called GETYTV
search for the video on the phone in youtube and then you can download the video as mp4 or whatever so you can bluetooth it to other people or just show it to other people from your memory.

i think that's not exactly what he meant. i think he wants to download the videos he's watching in the youtube-client. what you are proposing only works if you surf to www.youtube.com via opera.
btw: keepvids.com is a good site, too.

you use the GETYTV client to search for the videos and download them that way, so yes you cannot do it using the youtube application and it uses internet explorer by the looks of it. it works and thats it. nothing flashy

Searching YouTube on android is a bummer

is it me or it is it that youtube on android doesn't find the same videos as it does on my computer. For example like when you search for a certain music video on YouTube on the computer the official music videos would come up there but on android you can't find those videos..
That's happens for a reason. They do that so you buy the song. Because you have data everywhere, you can listen to free music every where. But the android app doesn't let you.
I think (remember I said think) that the m.youtube.com shows them, but I doubt it.
This message is brought to you by my Samsung Vibrant, using the XDA app.
I read somewhere that music video aren't mobile view compatible. So since then I have never found a music video, a real one that is.
Either east people are going to download them
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
the video has to be mobile compatible. it doesnt mattter if its a music vid or some guy farting on a girls face, if its not mobile compatible it wont even show up.
Why not just press the search button, rather than go to the you tube app?

[Q] Mobo player

I just downloaded mobo player and the codec file for it. I wanted to play video's directly on the internet on my xoom. I thought downloading this would help me but video's are still not playing?
I do not understand the media directory thing is there anything I am missing.
I picked media directory to be my downloads in my Astro file. This is right out of the box. I have done nothing to unlock or root this device.
Can anyone please explain to me what I need to do to play video's from a web page on the net. For example I went to a site for Las Vegas wanted to play video of Terry Feder show would not play?
I'm pretty good at following directions. I understand PC very well just learning about cell phones and tablets.
I only downloaded the codec file because the video still wasn't playing.
I do not want to do anything that will mess up my xoom?
Sorry I think I should have posted this in questions forum.
Did you try tapping and holding the video you want to play then selecting soft decoding? You have to do that to a large majority of videos for the xoom.
Yes I did. When the video appears on the screen there is a small blue dice in the center with a ? on it. There seems to be lots of videos that won't play. Is there anything in the codec file that I need to change. I saw the soft decoding for one of the video extensions?
Just found something that says default using soft decoding in settings I checked it. Still no luck. You tube videos play fine
When I tap the video the screen turns light blue but nothing comes up and their are no options available to select.
you said your trying to play videos from a site. What site and what video format? Link?
Go to metacafe.com any video it does not work. That is just one of the sites. I cannot tell what the video format is? How can i see that. On the right hand bottom of my screen it says autoplay ON. I do not know if that is from Mobo app or something else.
took a spin around the world wide web and seems the videos on your site metacafe are FLV files.
go to the market.. install one of these in the list and see if any will work.
not sure which ones are compatible with the xoom so just go in and check on the tech details. better yet go there with your xoom so it will filter out which ones will work.
you can also just search "flv player" w/o quotes in the market and see what you come up with.
https://market.android.com/search?q=flv+player&so=1&c=apps
That site seems to use a bunch of different kinds of video. Hulu videos wont work, but the flash videos will if you install flash, obviously. Moboplayer is for mp4, avi, mpeg, and other types of video commonly not found streaming on websites.
Just called Motorola and figured out that Flash Player needed to be downloaded. Do I feel stupid. I thought it came with it and was on it when I got it. I then went back to the site and the video played.
Do you think MoboPlayer will interfere with anything on my tablet. Should I remove it?
Or should I leave it. Don't even know if it works on the xoom. It did not work to get the FLV file working that is supports. Any input would be appreciated.
keep it. it can play other movie formats.
