So I installed TCPMP, with the necessary plug-ins to get Youtube videos from the browser to automatically open them in TCPMP. It worked for a while but apparently youtube changed their system and both mine and my friends 8525 wont play them anymore.
Is there a fix for this yet?
same problem here using schaps 3.6a rom
Youtube changed something on their site, that's why it isn't working anymore until the plugin gets fixed.
Mobytube still works tho.
Mobytube.net still works. It's kind of a mobile sized search engine for Youtube - I found it quicker than navigating via youtube itself.
There is a fiX!

Have a look at this site:

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.
--M
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?
Is it possible to get Youtube movies working on the BA (running WM6), and if so, what player do I need?
The TCPMP player gives me a "RTSP protocol not supported" error when trying to look at a Youtube movie :/
hi there!
there is some kind of plugin/addon, which allows you to download youtube movies to your pda....
just search this forum or google for it, here is ONE source!
hope that helps....
regards,
krz
I have that tcpmp plugin, and it does work most of the time. I've run into some files on youtube that still give me an unknown media format error. Not sure why.
The Avot Media Viewer that someone posted about here a week or so ago works great though.
http://www.avotmedia.com/
http://m.avotmedia.com/
The Avot is OK but it needs much work to be more than OK.
I use the vTap.
http://veveo.net/
Use the search bar to browse uploaded videos from any embedded video website (like youtube, metacafe etc).
You can also have a feature of searching into wikipedia articles!
Very cool...
After doing a bit more digging, I installed Streaming Media v 2.10 build 518.700 (from High Tech Computer Corp.) on it.
It's working GREAT!

hi everyone!
well, i installed the HTC STREAMING cab, which was included in xplode's cabs. i dont know, what version this actualy is...
anyway, i can playback youtube movies, but the performance sucks big time.... lots of stuttering, not enjoyable at all.... is it just me experiencing this problem?
is the BA oo slow to playback such vids?
or am i doing something wrong here?
thx in advance,
krz
you should check your internet connection too...
me again!
have to add, that i now have the FLASHVIDEOBUNDLE.cab installed, which not only gives me great streaming playback using TCMP Player (make sure u have installed the right version first!), but in addition to that gives me the oppotunity to save the flash videos to your storage right away....
VERY COOL CAB!!! KUDOS 4 THE (true) CREATORS!
btw: that STREAMING thing that came with xplode's cabs still doesnt work... (my internet connection is of course up and running!!)
cheers,krz
okay, after playing around a little bit and after installing/deinstalling/reinstalling HTC STREAMING Software, i am afraid i screwed up flv playback completely...
every time i try to load a youtube site,pocketIE crashes and my device freezes, leaving me with soft reset as only solution!
i tried to play back flvs on the youtube mobile site as well, with no sucess. nothing happens! the vids just dont load....
ARGH!!!!!
keeps crashing and crashing.... (pocketIE keeps loading, the suddenly freezes!)
when trying to play mobile youtube in pocketIE, nothing happens.... (just loads 0kb, then stops...)
can anyone load youtube.com without any problems?
can anyone play back youtube.com movies without problems?
HOW?
sorry for whining around here, but this really makes me go N U T Z

I'm not having any problems with Youtube after reading (and installing) this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=313961
Also.. Make sure that you use http://m.youtube.com with you PDA.

I read thru that post as well and as I wrote, I cannot play back m.youtube.com videos eitehr, it just sttarts loading and stops immediatly at 0KB again, thats it.
what streaming client do you have installed?
the one, that came with xplode's cabs?
or that one: RvBCrS_HTC_Streaming_Media.rar?
the easy and fast way, install my streaming media cab open m.youtube.com and it will stream with the player just fine, tested and working

thx, xplode! i actually did that. first time, i could not start the application, because of some error. i reinstalled the SDKCerts again and after that the error was gone, but no application starting either.... i really tried various times, what am i missing?
well did you installed audio manager also ?, inside the cab there is verinfou.dl which is needed for most of the HTC software, but if you install them both it will work

has anyone been able to get the HTC youtube player to work ?
when it tries to play a video on my vogue it just freezes ...
It works for me but the only problem is that the audio is always out of sync, always...

Same here with HTC Youtube on my Sprint Vogue. It's first screen is really nice, shows neat little summaries. But when one is selected to play, ugh! First of all, the player goes left handed on me, sort of upside down. And the aspect ratio of the area for video is rediculously w-i-d-e screen. Worst of all, it just freezes, curable only via soft reset.
So, my use of HTC Youtube is only to pick out a video. Next, I open up youtubeplay, enter keywords from HYt, and then download the FLV file rather than viewing it. Once D/L'd, I use TCPMP to play it nice and smooth, sync'd too.
Youtubeplay is available here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=385227&highlight=youtubeplay
And TCPMP here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=380387&highlight=TCPMP
Works perfect for me. First install the app, then the ravest fix.
I've found that the least troublesome way to use flash is to use Skyfire (mobile browser), plays pretty much any flash file inside the browser. It's also free.
http://www.skyfire.com/
http://www.opera.com/mobile/
You can also fire up Opera Mobile Ver 9.5 or higher and simply install the You Tube Widget.
I have been trying to get the Youtube play to work without success. I installed all the pieces but whenever I try to open the TCPMP plugin I get a notice crash.txt, send to developer, the program will now close. I cannot enter any configuration to make changes.
tcpmpplugin-v0.42c
tcpmp.pocketpc.0.72rc
youtubeplay.cab
The videos play, but there are some issues like stopping and closing, which I believe might be fixed if I was able to enter the configuration settings.
All are installed in the system, in the same directory.
Any help will be appreciated
Solved
I found an updated file if anyone is having the same issues.
tcpmp-0.72RC-ARM-PPC-RECOMP-01.cab.
imho then the 2 standalone youtube apps are better then using tcpmp
I use the ones
called youtube and the one called youtubePlay
I installed the rom from stock a couple of days ago, and the phone restarts whenever i try to watch any video from the gallery, or a youtube link with the player
What i did so far:
Disabled hwa for youtube, restarted. The app doesnt seem to be working properly, it doesnt seem to be applying changes, though it unchecks the apps.
Installed Adobe Flash Player downloaded from adobe's site. Youtube keeps restarting, aswell as the gallery video player.
Installed dolphin mini, chrome and played youtube videos from the navigator. Still restarting.
Installed MX Player, set it to sw only, seems to work for local videos, youtube still restarts the phone.
A couple of things i noticed from other posts:
People that installed the rom from another version dont seem to have the problem.
hwa aplication needs to be restarted a couple of times, never showed adobe flash for the support.
I guess the problem is in a particular library, that doesnt get step over when you upgrade roms, and the issue could be a memory leak of some sort because all the players play atleast a couple of seconds of the video.
I cant post on developers, it doesnt let me till i get 10+ posts.
Anyone has any idea of what to try? Maybe pinpoint me to the library that could be the issue, and where to get it / replace it
Thanks in advance!
In mxplayer settings sw decoder set it for both local and for network.I've set it for audio too be sure.

Did that, but i cant get any youtube workaround
Any ideas about the libraries?
Well what i tried to get a workaround to this problem is this:
Uninstalled the youtube app, using a root uninstaller or whatever.
Set the browser as default to watch videos from the site, it works fine.
Downloaded MX Player, set everything to software, works fine, not great, but fine.
Another issue ive found is that the CPU governor or scalling freezes my settings whenever i try to change its type, i tried a couple of apps like setCPU, and the problem remains. I can live with that.
Ill post here any news i get from the phone, since i cant post on the devs thread yet
Workaround?
rm /system/lib/libstagefrighthw.so
(of course backup first )
This seems to provide a quick solution.
(With Deadline scheduler & HWA on...)
PS: By comparing 20130703 vs. 20130709 libstagefright.so as Quarx suggested few days back they are quite the same according to their sums. Differences are libstagefright_soft_aacdec.so, libstagefright_soft_aacenc.so, libstagefright_yuv.so, libstagefrighthw.so - on which *hw.so does for me...)
