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.

Have you been trying to play youtube movies on your Dopod U1000? It used to be a process requiring conversion and the picture quality was not good. Not anymore.
Check this out:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/tcpmpflvplugin/
I've tried it and the picture quality is sensational. It is exactly the same as if you're watching it on the desktop.
Another thing I noted is that on some movies, the download program gives an invalid id message, although it would work for most of the youtube movies that I tried. I don't know the cause. In such situation, you still have the option of doing the download via the website stated in the link.
It only works on TCPMP though. This is not a problem for me because I happen to have chosen TCPMP over others all along.
Enjoy

If I am going to youtube and select a video, it is saying I am having JavaScript turned off or an old version of Flash Player.

Hi
It's a plug-in for TCP and not for the browser, so there are two files included
to download the video's (one for windows, the other for WM5).
Download the file, and start TCP open the downloaded file and play.
good luck.

try vtap , any youtube or web based video file, no messing with files it just works . and it actually finds what your looking for.
its no brainer IMO
I like vtap - but it is, I believe, only youtube and googlevids (and wikipedia) and some people have said the quality isn't 100%
It's still what I use most tho.

played around with vtap too. wouldnt say the quality was unacceptible, but i found it stopped quite regularly. i find the tcpmp plugin excellent - no worse really than its desktop counterpart, except for the annoyance that after a while PIE throws a wobbly and refuses to comply giving the error 'video not found' and neccessitating a full restart of the program. i am using the pk black touch 2.0 rom -has anyone else had this problem?
on a second note, id love for this to work for other video sites
I use the PK 3.0 ROM where the tcpmp is included in the ROM package. How do i go about it when wanting to install the FlashVideoBundle cab file in the same location as the tcp-player? tried just downloading another tcp and put it on my sd-card and then the FVB-cab in the same place, but that didnt yield anything to write home to mom about ;-)
mobytube.net is another way to do this.

I found that if i reinstalled the requisite TCPMP file then run flashbundle it works perfectly. It didn't work with the built-in TCPMP for some reason. Don't install to your SD card as there's no point - you've got 256mb onboard to play with anyway!
Posted the cabs I used so you should have no problem.
Apparently this can play google video but I've had no luck - does anyone now how to do this?
Is it possible to get Youtube movies working on the BA (running WM6), and if so, what player do I need?

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....

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.

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!

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?

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...
Did you know that there is an easy way to stream youtube videos from PIE (Pocket Internet Explorer) using TCPMP? You just click the video and a menu pops up so you can choose if you want to watch or download the video, works just like on your pc.
Check it out here: http://discussion.treocentral.com/showpost.php?p=1319431&postcount=1
By the way, it is very important to download the FlashVideoBundle.CAB provided on the site. I used another version and it didnt start any videos, only timed out after a while. Then I downloaded FlashVideoBundle.CAB from site and it worked like a charm.
You would also need to install the FLV plug in for TCPMP if you dont already have it, you can download it from this site: http://tcpmp-plugin-for-flash-video.softonic.de/windowsmobile
Remember to use Internet Explorer, it will not work in Opera!
Good Luck!
I know this Youtube plugin for PIE with TCPMP 0.72 from Hermes.
Does play google video and others too.
Working great, if not working after some time Youtube changed something on their site and you'll have to install the updated plugin. Newest version is 1.44 by now.

Cool little program, but I cant seem to find how to download videos with it, or is that even possible?
Vtap picture resoultion is not as good. Also the selection of video is not as wide, I think. Is this what you have found out too?
vTap is probably better suitable for smaller devices with less power!

I have been spending the last hour or so testing out vTap and here is what I have found.
1. The Video quality is poor compared to the direct streaming solution with TCPMP.
2. I am unable to find any way to download videos, which I think is a great disadvantage!
3. Not all videos that shows up in the search query works!
However, vTap is defenetley a very fast and usable program. It performs very quick searches and the conversions are quick! I also like the wikipedia function.
I think however that this program is better suitable for devices with smaller screens and less cpu power, I will test and see how it performs on my "HTC Touch" before I can say that for sure tough, I will let you guys know as soon as I can!
But as far as viewing and downloading videos on my "Athena" goes I think I will stick to the first method that I mentioned!
Branko, I'm not sure why this keeps happening, but I would go a minute or two into the clip and it will just freeze. I saw this posted on another thread. So I came here, downloaded the version you linked to....yet the same thing. Is there a setting I need to change or something?
I have the two files in TCPMP, I dowload the latest version Flashbundlepackage, and I'm using IE to play the clip.
I will go to google full, select the first video just to test, and will pull up TCPMP but after a minute.....FREEZE.
thanks for the links though!!!
Try to download to device!

If the video starts without a problem and then freezes after a while then it cant be a problem with the codec, dont quote me on that tough.
What I would check if I was you is if the video freezes even if you download it to the device and play from there, if it doesnt freeze when playing from device it´s probably a slow connection or problem with youtubes site for the moment. (Happens alot!)
If it freezes even when you have downloaded it, I would try to reinstall the TCPMP and all the codecs!
Please tell me how it goes!!
vTap IS better for small screen devices!

Ok, so I have been playing with vTap on my little "HTC Touch" now for a few hours, and I can confirm that the program INDEED is better suitable for small screen devices with less CPU power!
Anyway thats my opinion, it´s for everyone to decide for them selfs what they want to use in the end!
So let´s hear it guys, what is your prefered method on Athena?
Thanks Branko,
After I reinstalled all of the codecs, it continued to freeze. So tried to adjust some of the settings, still to no avail. Then i noticed that I want to view it in "fullscreen". So I decided to to let it play with out "fullscreen". Behold, the problem was fixed.
Literally, if i keep it in the un-fullscreen mode (not sure what its called) it plays just fine. Its one of those things I wouldnt have figured out at all.
So there we go, atleast a fix on my end, is to watch all of the playable clips in the un-fullscreen mode and it will play just fine. I assume that if the file is small enough, I can download and play in fullscreen mode.
Thanks alot for your help Branko
You should be able to play in full screen mode too!

So there we go, atleast a fix on my end, is to watch all of the playable clips in the un-fullscreen mode and it will play just fine. I assume that if the file is small enough, I can download and play in fullscreen mode.
Thanks alot for your help Branko

You should be able to play in full screen mode too!
Try to completly uninstall TCPMP and all codecs and then install everything again, that should work!
What do you use to play Youtube videos?
Is there any more programs or ways to play videos from "youtube" and other sites? Please share!
I have just voted and then read the thread - I am the only one who has voted for vTap!
I must admit, I am only an occasional user of youtube and love vTap's simplicity (and the wikipedia search) and for my usage it works fine, especially given the complexity of the alternatives.
Different people want different things - I want something simple (like me).
Good luck in finding your ideal solution!
App that can save Videos?
Is there any application like "vTap" but where you can actually save videos onto your device instead of only being able to watch online?
I would love to use such a program!

I have started a thread on their forum with some suggestions that I think should be implemented into vTap.
Why dont you join in and see if you can add some more suggestions and see if we can get them to make this little program even better in the future!

Did you know that there is an easy way to stream youtube videos from PIE (Pocket Internet Explorer) using TCPMP? You just click the video and a menu pops up so you can choose if you want to watch or download the video, works just like on your pc.
Check it out here: http://discussion.treocentral.com/showpost.php?p=1319431&postcount=1
By the way, it is very important to download the FlashVideoBundle.CAB provided on the site. I used another version and it didnt start any videos, only timed out after a while. Then I downloaded FlashVideoBundle.CAB from site and it worked like a charm.
You would also need to install the FLV plug in for TCPMP if you dont already have it, you can download it from this site: http://tcpmp-plugin-for-flash-video.softonic.de/windowsmobile
Remember to use Internet Explorer, it will not work in Opera!
Good Luck!

Hi, where do I put the FLV plug ins once I've downloaded them??
Thanks in advance

Sorry I've just read the readme file like I should've in the first place, apologies
Guys,
Technology for youtube on Athena has already moved on beyond recognition recently. I don't use TCPMP anymore.
You could use youtubeplayer from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=385227
Youtubeplayer 1.0.7 lets you download and save the files.
Or Coreplayer, the latest version 1.2.4 lets you watch but not to save it yet. Of course, it can aso play flv files previously saved.
If you're not using realVGA or only using 192dpi, both the above user interface are very nice. If you're using 96dpi, then coreplayer's interface is the most beautiful.
If you want to do a little more indepth research to understand why coreplayer is one of the best way to go at the moment, read this "youtube bible":

Thanks
Works great guys, thanks for the work and information
since everyone is telling (youtube etc) that the buildt in mp is crap.

in many movies on youtube they say that the coreplayer has blue screen flickering with video palyback (with video out cable)
I have been looking at CorePlayer, the WindowsMobile PocketPC version, and under notes it says:
CE/Windows Mobile/PocketPC/Smartphone
---------------------------------------------------------
- Does not support the Qualcomm MSM7200 QTv chipset (we only support the MSM7500)

Doesn't the TP2 use a Qualcomm 7200 chip?
Edit: no idea why it says the above, but I bit the bullet and bought the app and it works soooo sweetly =)
I used coreplayer on my tytn2 but it won't run on my touch pro 2 it fails to start everytime ????
just downloaded an ipod movies .mp4 video and all it shows up as on the built in media player is perfect sound but a green screen ??? why is it so hard to play video's on my phone
I'm using Coreplayer 1.3.2 Build 6909 for ARM atm on my TP2. Had no problem with the install, and it runs all my Xvid/DivX movies just fine.
Mediaplayer, wont show any files in its library so i stopped using that, for music I'm using that crappy Touchflo player (library is too limited for me)
For Vid's I really recommend you to use Coreplayer, it plays music as well, although I haven't tried that yet
just looked at their site and they want me to pay $29 for it !!!! it may be annoying not to be able to watch certain movies on my phone but it isn't worth parting with the much money. I used TCPMP player previously before it became commercially Coreplayer, it worked on my tytn and it was free, since it's become commercial I guess it's no longer an option.
MP4 Player fix for TP2 PLEASE!?
I'd just like to take this moment to say AHHHHHH!!! I'm about to pull what little hair i have left OUT!!
Ok... I've dug through 1000s of sites and forums, 100s of downloads, installs, uninstalls onto memory card and or directly onto my phone. Downloaded even directly to Desktop computer to open / transfer / unzip to removable, then active sync, drag drops, etc... etc...etc...
I had a good TCPMP Player on my winMo5.0 phone that lasted me the last couple years. Now on TP2 WinMo6.1 It doesnt work and i FINALLY found a new one to download and hear people DO have it working on theirs while others don't.... the player they sent with the device beyond sucks!! and I am unable to view flash on the fly..
I even PAID for the download and recieved NO help whatsoever so I'm here after a YEAR of great advice from you all...
I downloaded TCPMP.pocketPC.0.72rc1,
ran the .cab and all seemed to work correctly and even have the shortcut in my programs.. I click on it and receive this pop open:
::::Unexpected program failure. Please send "crash.txt" to the developers. Program will now exit::::
I read some on people saying there is a fix or an add.. please help this long term beginner... PLEASE... I would pay if anYONE could make this simple.. I need to use my phone and cant risk dinking around tOO much with it.
AnYthInG... PLEASE?!?!
gOOOD mp4 player that has been tested and you can walk me through step by step
OR if Im to use the player on the phone currently, how can I create an option for it to auto replay until I can fix the TCPMP so I can move smoothly through the frames
GREATLY appRecIated in AdvAnCe!!!
Which Coreplayer version for us?
I see there are 2 arm versions of coreplayer. For the TP2, would I get the "Pocket PC / Arm" or "Smartphone / Arm" version? Both say they are for Windows Mobile.

This forum does have a search facility, you know. Had you considered using it?
Download the version of TCPMP that you'll find here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3275845&postcount=172
Then go into the Settings screen, the DirectDraw page, and tick the box that says "use blitting instead of overlay".
