Hi all. Has anyone tried streaming TV using WMP10 (& PocketstreamerPro) and managed to get it in FULLSCREEN? I'm really getting peeved off with a viewable image the size of a stamp!!
Videos are OK in TCPMP, but it doesn't support streaming TV.
Or does anyone know of any plug-ins for TCPMP which allow it to stream? really need some help here..... :?
The latest tcpmp beta (1.71b IIRC) support tv streaming and mms. You should give it a try. For other format, try PVplayer

Hi again. I'm struggling to find that version of tcpmp that you quoted. I can only find version 0.71. Is that the same? Probably not! Could you point me in the right direction of a download link please? Cheers.
I'm pertty sure 1.71 was a typo. Get the latest version here:
http://tcpmp.corecodec.org/about
Yes, sorry for this. The version 1 is planned soon, and we are still at zero versionning. BTW, PVplayer is only for operator coded TV or movies. TCPMP is suited for a lot of streaming channels, and can also guess the link of the stream if you provide it with the URL of the containing web page in the file open dialog.
You REALLY can stream Internet TV through TCPMP on wifi!!!

Hi again. I actually bought PocketstreamerPro, only to find it way too restrictive and quite useless (as WMP 10 only shows TV in a small window and I can't find a workaround for it).
I fiddled around with TCPMP to no end, and to no avail I might add. But then I checked back to find your response, which implies that you can definately stream through TCPMP using the 'File Open' menu. Well, as there was nothing to link to (I had no format for storing the URL), I couldn't do it.
So I found a website called TV4all.com and copied some of the URLs there and typed them into the URL bar in my browser, which opened up Windows media player on my desktop PC. There I saved it as a '.mru' playlist (also checked in associations in TCPMP in addition to HTTP and MMS) and copied that file onto my storage card. TCPMP could and did find this and presto! I'm now streaming in full screen to my betaplayer (it takes a while to actually start working though). I now have access to potentially hundreds of Internet TV channels! I will explore further, but is this the way you do it? or do you have a much simpler process? feedback is most welcome right about now!!
Thanks for your help thus far though.

thats because you're using mini while he's using a VGA device, the universal
The file open dialog is to input a mms:// adress, or the http:// of a webpage linking to your content. If you input the webpage, you will get after that the list of all available streams on this page.
Hi, I have a question...
I have this app called "Streaming Video" under Programs. I guess it was there ever since I had this. I havent used it though coz I dont know how. I wanted to try video streaming but I dont know which RTSP url to put.. WOuld you know anything about this? Thanks..
.... additional: i tried opening azn.tv and saigontivi thru the video streaming app and its not working..
Anyone got any good pages that just offer direct links to the feeds ? Nearly every site I find you have to go through multiple pages and some of them wont even show properly.
Hey, im kinda new here but im interested in playing youtube videos on my wm6 htc mogul, i tried the RvBCrS_HTC_streamer but it dosent connect and it keeps giving me an error messege about connection failed even though im connected by wifi, any apps out there that can help me please let me noe, thanx
There is a link floating around for the TCMP player and the flash bundle. I can fully play google vids and youtube with no problem using it.
Try searching google for Vtap, its a program that lets you access videos from tons of sites, and works well too. In my opinion, its alot better and faster than using TCPMP, and PIE, plus you can get more videos. Try it out.
thanks stevenewjersey got the tcmp player with the flash bundle, works freakin great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The vtap download says its not a valid ppc file, any reason for that killerkhatiboy009? I would love to play more then a few vids and if vtap would work i would use it, any advise
Be warned there are a few versions of that TCMP player and flash bundle out there. Make sure you find the latest. Alot of the early versions stop working after a while and require a reinstall of the bundle
any chance giving us a link or name to that bundle?

Hmm, thats weird, it installs fine on my mogul and runs great. I think you might have to unlock it or something is what i've heard, some moguls need to be unlocked (as in they can install and run all files, not as in they can use any network). I'm not exactly sure how to fix it, maybe someone else knows how to do it. Sorry. It is a great program, and I think its a lot better than the TCPMP and Flash bundle, as it has an interface, and gets a lot more videos.
It's improperly named, just change it from .exe to .cab and voila
The youtube hack no longer works. An error about sfw args comes up. Hope some1 fixes it.

How did you dowload the vTap application? You should just have to point your phones browser to www.vtap.com. It shoudl then point you to the correct .cab file to download. If for some reason that still does not work, you can try pointing your browser to http://www.vtap.com/pub/vTap_ppc.cab. Could you tell me which phone you are using?
For all your youtube TCMP Flash bundle problems go to the site below.
They update the page every time youtube changes their files.
Install the updated TCMP and Flash programs, and your back up and running once again. Enjoy!
http://discussion.wmexperts.com/showthread.php?t=148801
here is a list of all phones and the download for them http://www.vtap.com/wince_download.html
Skyfire.com looking absolutely amazing.... I'm sold when it gets around to release.
Coz Boogie @ PPCGeeks has posted updated TCPMP & Videobundle files that works on the Mogul/PPC 6800 for video streaming (including You Tube, Metacafe, etc).
Since the site is down, here are the files...
I can browse to youtube.com in my browser...I can click on "watch video"...then when the rtsp:// stream comes up, it opens windows media player, then I get "An unknown error 0X8007274D has occured." and it doesn't play the video.
I am not married to WMP, so if there is anothe rplayer that is faster, less bulky, like VLC but for mobile and can handle youtube streams, then I will be happy to use it, or can I get a flash plugin to make youtube work on my Titan lik eit does on a normal pc? with streaming flash?
Or if you have a way to make WMP work and not erro-out, then that's fine to, thanks.

USE TCPMP WITH FLASHVIDEOBUNDLE....POSTED ALL OVER THIS SITE SO TAKE A SEARCH...I heard to not feed the noobs when they post like this...Next time search and read...read...and read....then ask for help. Im a noob myself and have learned that by not asking questions that are answered a million times before...you tend to get help easier when needed.
I am not a noob. I already tried TCPMP or I wouldn't have posted this, duh!
I installed it, then put the designated files in the root dir. tried it before a soft reset and again after, and when i click on a video to watch in youtube it says "TCPMP does not support rtsp protocol"
So try not being so harsh sometimes, you kinda came off as a jerk.
-c
you'll need to download the htc streaming media player, becuz the wmp doesnt support it
If you only want youtube then download youtubeplay by milesmowbray its the pastest way to watch

Noob or not you should STILL read these threads and learn how to do things properly (Especially the instructions )
First download the latest Flashvideo Bundle CAB if you don't have it already.
Install TCPMP to your SD Card
Once TCPMP has installed copy the Flashvideo Bundle CAB to the TCPMP Folder that was created in Progam Files directory in your SD Card
From within the TCPMP program files directory initiate the installation of Flashvideo Bundle and save it to your SD Card
Then soft reset.
Once restarted launch TCPMP and check all the necessary file association options that you would need.
Now you can launch internet explorer --- visit youtube.com (full version) and you should be able to view Youtube videos automatically from TCPMP
though i am not sure what everybody uses youtube for so much. what does everybody watch all the time?? anyway....try veveo (veveo.com). love it b/c it searches more sites and plays great...good luck
Thanks for clearing this up CARLOS...Do I really come off as a JERK? I thought since I supplied the solution that I was being nice. And that I related to Him that I was also a NOOB(which he/she wants to deny) that I wasnt hurting his feelings. I merely pointed out what every sticky in every forum states...READ before posting.
If you just want youtube you can use youtubeplay...Think I found it somewhere on this site. Nice if your just using for youtube...built in player and downloader/streamer...metioned a few post above...figured I would post.

TCPMP doesnt work on my phone. There are two versions of the xv6800, some that work right, and some that are a pain in the butt...I guess for $80 I got one of the pain in the but phones. I cannot use any roms or anything other than stock rom/radio, so oh well. i can live with it for $80, lol.
besides, my friend has 3.1.2 on his xv6800, and mine actually runs fast on stock rom. so make me happy.
-thanks anyway

After following Carlos' directions...what happens when you go to play video...When you click on the vid from youtube...you should get a few options....play...stream...and I believe Link.... Is it doing this? IF TCPMP is erroring out check the tcpmp folder and make sure you have the flvsplitter and flvffmeg files.
that veveo works really good,i dont know why i dont hear more about it. just go to www.vtap.com from your phone and it goes right to the right install page, pretty easy
i followed the instructions to the letter...when i click "watch video" is still openes TCPMP then says "RTSP protocol not supported", and I have both the files for flash support in the TCPMP folder.
No worries, I uninstalled TCPMP and just used the youtube CAB file provided earlier in this thread and it works great Thanks!!

Are you going to youtube.com and not the Mobile site? You have to be at the youtube.com and choose the desktop version.From what I read the mobile site is in .3GPP which is not supported... I believe you can still download the videos and watch them in tcpmp.I never stream cause its always is choppy...NO 3G

I just tested TCPMP again to make sure that the flashvideo bundle still works.
It still works and doesn't need any updated version.
Who knows he might be using an old version of the Flashvideo bundle, he might not have the file association for flashvideo checked, or he isn't viewing youtube.com with pocket internet explorer.
I use TCPMP alot. I watch several movies on my xv6800. The quality isn't that bad either even when I stream youtube using WiFi.
Yeah wouldnt go without tcpmp...Streaming with wifi is great but when I stream on 1X service it blows...buddy has TILT with 3g and pisses me off....Could just be Stock rom....that was just a joke....I attached the same cabs I was using so it should have worked if installed correctly.
you tcpmp users are really missing out...i dont know if it is the decreased ram usage or what, but the cab file actually modifies the shell rather than installing additional memory hogging software...besides I can stream over both 3g and 1X with the youtubecab just fine.
its hard to find a 1X area where i live, but i tested youtube streaming on 1X, a 4minute video, played the whole way through without buffering. i guess im just lucky.
thanks for the cab file again guys.
-connor
Pretty sure Titans dont have 3g...or at least I havent heard of it or seen it....If your just using titan to watch youtube than youtubeplay is the way to go...But your very limited to playback on your titan...wmp doesnt support neary as many formats as tcpmp... Have you tried Downloading off of youtubeplay...It downloads in FLV and evertime I have used that and downloaded it has to play in tcpmp since I believe the youtubeplay player is only for playing streamed vids.
I've been trying to find a valid solution to stream youtube and other video sites. I think I am missing everything
I have tried the youtubeplay but that doesn't integrate into the web browser and it doesn't seem I can copy paste URLs to it.
and vTap doesn't seem to work. HFC Streaming Player just says connecting.
Any other idea's or help would be greatly appreciated.
I got this working just so everyone knows using the cab file from here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=FlashVideoBundle
I didn't know tha tpage existed before. I guess the other DL links I were using didn't work.
I tried using skyfire and it is awesome ....

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.

amazing that an XDA member of a xoom tablet has not heard about moboplayer. thats wild.. rockplayer is made by the same dev that made moboplayer. mobo player is a really great video app! a must have..
