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...
Hello,
the phone played it befor, then after I deinstalled some software, it doesnt play any videos at all anymore!
It only shows a black screen and plays the sound!
Only the TCPM plays videos..
What should i do??
You need the correct codecs to play certain formats.
What exactly did you uninstall?
i have the same stupid problem....
i cant play video on youtube....
i thought that i need a codecs but i dont know which one....
note:as far as i remember youtube worked perfectly a week before
I've got the same problem,
I think it's to do with Coreplayer or TCPMP, once I installed these programs, Youtube videos wouldn't show any video only sound.
Because I use Coreplayer quite a lot, i haven't tried uninstalling yet. But I'll try it and use memmaid to clean the registry and see if that works...
hope you find something....
anyone experience thiss too?...... any videos i've taken with the camera won't play in the normal player, ie select the video from TF3D and press play, i get sound and no video again. The file will play through coreplayer though...
anyone else with the youtube problem get this aswell?

I know that!
Only the Videos, wich i made with the kamera for example!
I Deleted now the whole memory! And nothing happend! Still the videos are not showing!
The problem is within the Windows Media Player, and I cant find a CAB, to reinstall this! Or at least install the standart codecs new!
.......
So? Noone can help me?!?!
I really do not know what i should do!
I hardreseted the phone again, but nothing happens! Only a black sreen and sound is comming up..
Please someone!
i tried to install youtube but no luck still the black screen....
i cant play my own recorded video with the default windows media player...
i searched and found that TCPMP is the reason
we need to reinstall the codec...
any help???
Yes, one way, to reinstall the Windows Media Player or the other way would be, to reinstall the codecs.. But I've not found any cab (not on the phone storage nor on the internet)..
HELP!! I really would like to watch videos again!

It wouldnt be an solution for me.. I want to watch videos I took, over the TouchFLO.. And I don't want to open an 3rd Party app..
But however, I've installed the software..
And, the screen is even black in this software!!!
Please, could someone help me?!?! I really dont know what to do!
I'm searching for hours!
i tried lot of cab...
i think the only way to get it working again is to hard reset
After trying and failing to get xvid and divx codec movies to reliably play on Coreplayer or TCPMP, I decided to find a good converter, and used WinMenc to convert the files to .mp4 x264 format so I can play it natively on the device using the Windows Media Player built in, HOWEVER the Media Player looks like it;s going to load the videos, i.e. showed 'Loading...' with the white circle, but then it never moves on. The device is not crashed, as I can just exit out, but the movies will not play even in a format that the HD2 recognises. This is really annoying the hell out of me now, as all I want to do is play video on my phone, not really asking a great deal.
Has anyone got any advice for fixing this problem with Media Player 'getting stuck'? Cheers
Any ideas? Can WMP even be reinstalled or repaired? Seems a bit strange for an app native to the device to just not work.
what settings did you use for the encoding?
also, see kr00t0n's profile for winMenc, its the best soloution ive found IMHO
did u try this?

Yeah I'm using his HD2 profile buddy, saved as an .ini.
I think it's WMP to be honest, as it does the same on any .mp4. Currently, I can only get a very small number of films to run through TCPMP, but I can't identify what's causing them to work/not work. But WMP does not work at all!
I'm wondering if a hard reset might work on it. I'm getting seriously fed up with my HD2 though, far too many things wrong with it. I'm starting to think about flogging it now.

Yep, that one does it as well. Pissed off!
Why is there no universal media player for phones that will play anything you throw at it?? I'm looking for the VLC of mobile media player!

I converted a few films with a crappy free verison of some software can't remember the name tho. So far all have worked on all the media players I have used WMP, TCPMP and Core player. Are you on a custom ROM? Not sure if certain ROMS may have bugs in causing this.

I've used the normal HTC ROM and Artemis ROM, happens on both. I've tried all sorts of conversion software. Nothing ever seems to reliably play.
I'll be new to Android, and don't really know what is available. I did a search for Android Marketplace, and got "This is a showcase for some of the featured and top ranked applications and games available on Android Market. For a comprehensive, up-to-date list of the tens of thousands of titles available, check out Android Market on your handset."
It's not particularly easy to find stuff, when you don't really know what you're looking for. I will find out tomorrow what the marketplace is like, on the EVO.
But, in the few remaining hours before that becomes possible, I wanted to find a few applications to install and play around a bit and try to get a feel for the system.
So, what should I/will you install tomorrow (or later)? I'm sure I'll find some cool stuff on my own eventually, but some suggestions from current enthusiasts would be welcomed by me, and others I'm sure.
I figure everyone's got a favorite app or 5, how about some suggestions?
one of the neatest, but only useful in clear sky at night, outside, preferably in the country, is google sky maps.
fring rocks for syncing up skype and gtalk. you'll dig it for the new vid call thing, i'm sure
weatherbug elite is my weather app of choice
andexplorer is what i use to navigate through my sdcard
cubed is a good music app. very nice looking (app actually spelled with superscript 3, if you go looking for it on market)
chrome to phone is good for sending links to the phone, but i think it needs froyo
google navigation should come stock, but it's a rockstar
vlc remote
terminal emulator
others - where, layar, wikitude, and adfree for sure, if you're rooted
Excellent list, thanks!
About this one...

Thank, but I am looking for something to play my locally stored music and videos, not streaming.
I found and installed the cubed app, but it just says it can't find files in the playlist or some such thing, and the only choice I have is to exit. So a no go on that one also.
I'll keep looking
let me know when you find it the player!
im kinda disappointed that there is no flash viewer (*.flv) for files that reside on the sd card. unfortunately it looks like we have to wait for coreplayer to come out.

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..
