Please read http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=969&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1

Have a look at this site:
http://www.srobbin.com/mobilevideo/
It a mobile search for google video

You can also use www.orb.com. The app is great. The youtube videos play nicely on my 8125

Thanks guys for the feedback.

how did u get to view you tube on your 8125? i have orb 2.0 and it keeps asking me for some codecs.

You have to download certain codecs and install them from there website. The codec that i installed to get the youtube videos to play was the ffdshow codec.

what do you guys mean? go to tinytube.net on your phone and you can download any video from 6 different sources, including, google, myspace, and break just to name a few.
its awesome

I second that. Nothing to install, just download away.

You CANNOT view youtube videos with tinytube.net. Plus it seems im always being queued to view a damn video. Orb is faster compared to the quality...only downside is you have to have your computer running. Which I dont find to be a problem personally

but most youtube videos are on google and myspace anyway

It seems that none of the offered solutions properly play streaming video. Anyone found any other way to do so?

I followed these instructions and the work very very well on my WM6 Kaiser.

Kind of off topic, but a little similar... Is anyone having problems downloading streaming media from these sites? I have an AT&T Tilt and whenever I click on a streaming link that is flashed based, Realplayer will come up and tell me this file format is not supported. But, there is no option anywhere to uninstall this thing! I also tried adding all associations /w TCPMP but still no luck. Anyone else running into this?

tcpmp flv plugin

anybody tried this yet. my phone is currently not working well right now so I can't try it.
u can download the plugin here:
http://handheld.softpedia.com/progDownload/TCPMP-Plugin-for-Flash-Video-on-PPC-Download-43412.html
basically it will play flv files over the internet via mobytube.net. mobytube.net is a search engine for google video, youtube, etc....
can anybody confirm this works? this might be our solution for full youtube on our phones.
i hate m.youtube.com. too little videos to watch.

what is tcpmp....ive seen this mentioned in other post and felt dumb to ask
thanks for the tip...i will check it out once I get on my computer at home.

TCPMP means "the core pocket media player."

lol @ dude,,,it is thing, that M$ may learn from.

regular youtube.com videos (not m.youtube.com) play fine on my 8125 with nbd8.0 and adobe flash player 7....so I don't know why people are finding all these workarounds for youtube, since it does work. It's just kinda choppy, but I think that's because I don't have an external memory card to buffer big amounts of data...

found adobe/macromedia flash player 7

Sorry if this is old news but I've been looking for something to play flash on my XDA for a while but I couldn't find a mention in any forums, so I tracked this down on the adobe site
http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer_pocketpc/downloads/player.html
again sorry if it's old news but you never know someone else may have been looking for the same thing
Edit reason - realised people may skip this if they thought I was looking for a copy rather than I'd found one, also attached the file just in case it disappears from the adobe site

won't play
i've downloaded the flash player and installed it..but i still can't watch videos from youtube??? any suggestions on how i might fix this???

Good luck,

You're right! I was looking for this. Many thanks.

Actually for watching youtube videos flashplayer 7 is not enough, because, if I am right, the video streaming feature (which is used by every video site) has been introduced only in flashplayer 9.

Hi,
This tool will help you to enable flash support into your Opera browser: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4255967&postcount=21

Online Movie Streaming.

Ive used search and aint find anything that had to do with this topic. If this topic has been created already please guide me to the right place. Im fully aware that flash player beta is coming out next month. And im also aware that there's an app called LukLuk in the market that does this. Now here is my question. LukLuk dont seem to work for me it keeps force closing everytime i try and load up the movie list. Im wondering if there are any sites out there to where you can stream movies from? Converting movies into mp4 format and then loading it up to our SD card takes to long. And even when we do get flash player, what sites will we be using to stream movies from? so what sites do you guys use? i have a rooted phone and also aware that the HERO ROM already comes with a flash player, but im not using hero because its very laggy. so brings me back to the same question... what sites can i go to, to stream movies from online? Thank you to anyone who will help me.

I dont know of any movie sites that'll work on the g1...believe me, i've searched...but there is an app called jetflicks that streams tv shows...only it's kinda expensive and it'll be a subscription service by October...there's also a program called doubletwist that'll easily convert any movies you might have on your pc to a format that's viewable on the g1...the good thing about this program other than it's free, is that it automatically detects whatever mobile device you have, no messing around with settings or whatever...hope i helped a little bit...but hey, if you do find a movie website compatible with the g1, hook me up, will you?

I dont think their are any that are worthwhile now.

g1 cant play flash videos unless its running a hero build

What's included in this build?
I'm pleased to announce that this newer build is much, much better than the old beta I had made before (and that had been understandably ignored by pretty much everyone) here's what works:
-Flash Player. Yay!!!!. A build under 87 MB (original build, 89 MB with rev1) with full flash support, both in the browser and as streaming video. It's a resoruce hog, though, so use with care (you can disable plugins in the browser settings to deal with this)

Are you sure. from what im reading i was led to believe browser video works

Good luck finding a site, as soon as one gets popular it's host will shut it down or they'll recieve a C&D. If you do find one don't expect it to stick around for longer than a month. Just use Handbrake or Media Coder to convert your videos.

I wouldn't get cocky if you don't know what you're talking about ;-) ...I've seen videos of Hero's playing youtube videos, and surely Hero's would use the same version of flash as those in our builds...

the only video that works is youtube...but its not really true flash.. you click on a youtube video and it take you to htc streaming app. its doesnt play on righ ton the website like skyfire, or on a pc.

I Will be sure to hook you up when i come across one. I Downloaded JetFlicks, Its a pretty cool app. 14 bucks aint really that expensive. But its pretty cool a good time killer while im at work. i remember when i had the T-Mobile Dash, there was so many sites that streamed movies. now i own a G1 and there's no sites at all. lol im really thinking about buying the Touch Pro 2. its a beautiful phone. I tested it out for a full 24hr's and returned it the next day because i realized how much i hated WinMO lol. but im really thinking about going back to it. lol

Just like others said don't get to cocky. Not all videos are in flash 10.

I know back before we even had cupcake I was able to go to nbc.com and watch tv shows.

some people have had success with orb but most can't get it to stream over 3g/edge.
I'm going to try tonight to see what I can get. If I can get it streaming video I'm buying a tv turner for the computer. It would be nice if I could just stream the videos I already have on my pc though.

Maybe someone can correct me, but I have heard gmote can do that... I have been meaning to try... Just havent had the time (when I remember to try)..

I've also read that gmote could do it as well, I just wanted to try orb first because I already had it installed on my computer at home. I didn't have a lot of time to play with it so I had the same results as most people. Could stream via wifi with no issues, but wouldn't work over 3G. Hopefully this weekend I can play with forwarding some ports on my router or try gmote and get one of them to work.

Ya this app works very well. Its an off market app. I think it use to be in the market but got taken down. Just a simple google search will get you the .APK file.
And it is Free

I don't know about the OP, but i'm looking for an app that will allow me to stream video from my computer.
That being said I tried LukLuk out and it looks like it could be a great time waster but it keeps force closing on me as soon as I try to login. I can use Trial, but that only gets you trailers.

dont bother with orb you have to be in front of your computer to set up a stream and when it stops you have to start it from your pc again

Tried out gmote last night... and it can stream from your computer, but only jpeg, mp3, mp4, and some others... Can't do divx, or avi.. so not what I am looking for...

This was my experience as well - although Orb worked very well, it would occasionally stop on the PC end. I used LogMeIn to remote desktop into my pc from my HTC Mogul to restart it, but I got sick of doing this and decided not to use Orb when I switched to my HTC Touch Pro.

YouTube instead of Streaming Media Player. How?

How can I make clicked links in Opera to YouTube videos, etc. be handled by the YouTube player itself instead of the defective "Streaming Media" player?
Tried a search... came up with no answer.

Sorry mate, but the only way I know to do this is to use IE. That works exactly as you ask.

Hmm, I've never seen that. For me flash videos play inside the browser, be it IE or Opera (after applying flash fix for the latter).
