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?

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?

youtube vids in opera

hi everyone. i am wondering how many of you are able to view
http://www.youtube.com
content on your athena using opera or t'internet explorer?
I am presuming that most people at the moment are using t-mobile
devices and roms which come with bult in opera like mine. I saw a post for a new version of flash player for ppc so i updated expecting to be
able to view youtube movies.......
I have tried to update opera as well to 8.65b but this hasnt helped me.
Does anyone else have any luck?

Based on my research...there are mixed results - some can play YouTube while others can't. Someone reported that there seems to be a compatibility issue between the Flash available for PocketPC's and the Flash used to encode the video on YouTube. Another article above mentions installing the latest Opera AND Flash Player 7 for PPC. Apparently YouTube uses the latest Flash while the latest version of PocketPC Flash is equivalent to 7.x. Since 7.x isn't forward compatible then you can't watch the video's on your PPC until they come out with an updated version. This is what i found based on my Google searches. There is also a report that YouTube is making their site PocketPC compatible in May. If I find otherwise, I'll post it for you guys.

well you can play youtube vids with the new opera beta and latest flash player...at least on the jasjar
the only prob being that it is way to choppy at the moment

When you said it is choppy, could you also clarify what network were you using? Is is UMTS or HSDPA? What download speed was it when you made that observation?
Thanks for the info.

it was wifi...
the problem is that even after being completely downloaded the vids are choppy (as in 1-2 fps) during playback

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...

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.

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.

Good luck!!! untill WP7 and then the adobe flash release for it your going to struggle. Did i say struggle?! i meant suffer.
But at least it's better than what the iPhone has, which is no flash at all. There is a reason for it but i'm on the beer tonight and i can;t remeber the exact details but it has something to do with most sites running flash 10.1 and WM can't thanks to MS missing out a couple of API's in WM 6.5 that were planned to be there.

With IE mobile you can play flash. Only if it is on youtube.
Surf with IE mobile to www.pocketnow.com or wmpoweruser.com and click on one of the vids (linked to youtube). And volia it plays in HTC player.

I have not had any issues with flash sites in skyfire, what sites in particular where you having trouble with? the youtube app is best too browser youtube with but i havent found any site that dont work which require flash when viewed in skyfire :S

Hi,
I've just installed uZard web browser and it's played everything I've thrown at it - it even plays flash games, not just videos.
Cheers,
Inclement

Oh dear, looks as though the spin doctors at Adobe have got to you. Have seen flash 10.1 running on the hd2 and it looks great (have a look around the devs section on adobe website for video). Adobe binned it because there was no point in spending any more time, effort and money in releasing it for "a dead os", and came up with that excuse which, rightly so, points the finger at M$.
