A way to get HTC Youtube to work? - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General

Summary of post: Is there a way for me to get the HTC Youtube application to work on Schnap's Windows Mobile 6? The videos load, but an error always comes up saying the video can't play.
Full post:
So here's my situation: I recently caved and got media max unlimited for the Hermes so that I could fully enjoy it. One of the biggest reasons for me finally getting it was the ability to watch TV online and, of course, Youtube.
Unfortunately, I was unable to get the TCPMP flash trick to work correctly, but I was happy to find that 'Youtubeplay 1.0.0.11' was able to work perfectly fine. However, while I thank God to whomever developed it and don't want to seem ungrateful, I'm admittedly a bit disappointing by how it only shows five entries for each search, and the lack of screen real estate usage.
Recently, however, I just discovered the HTC Youtube application (yes, I suppose I'm a bit behind everyone else), and it was epically awesome. Only problem is that I can't get it to work properly on Schnap's Windows Mobile 6. The video would load, but then an error appears. From what I gathered on searching through the forums, people say that I would need to get a ROM with the HTC Youtube application cooked in for it to work?
I'm somewhat attached to Schnap's WM6, however, so I'm hoping someone could provide a way for me to get it to work on it? I'm willing to try just about anything.
Thank you in advance.

Nevermind, I was able to get it to work with big thanks going to the people here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=395338&page=18
For anyone who wishes to know, in order to get the HTC Youtube app to work on your favorite OS, just install the HTC Youtube app and the ravest Youtube fix. I tested it myself on Schnap's WM6 Pro 4.31 and it works awesomely.
To anyone who wishes to download either:
1) HTC Youtube App - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=472940
2) Ravest Youtube Fix - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=ZGQJ3H0R
Hope the best for all!

WM6 Flash player/lite Htc touch

HI,
I want to start itask, but there comes a mistake. I need a flashplayer, but the version 7 did not work. What can i do????
Is there a Download for Flash Lite 3?
Flash Player for Wm6?
Help me please..
Flash player
I have the same problem....htc touch....
Wow, rhov23 talks about this in the very first post of the the iTask thread, which I'm sure you've read all the way through...
I won't tell you what program you're talking about because all that will do is discourage searching in the future. I pointed you in the right direction, go search.
Hi Azimuth , I have been trying for months to get flash player to work, I tried Htc streaming media player, Vtap, as well as Tcmp. I wasn'y happy with any of them..I just want my Pie to be able to play flash files embedded into the web sites. I tried to search the post you mentioned above but I still don't understand... is it the one with 108 pages? If you can, can you make it a bit clearer for me? I don't understand what iTask is as I am a neewbie at these moblie applications. Were you referring to this iTask download? It doesn't seem that this is for me. Thanks for your post but I am still lost. I found another post but it was way to complicated for me to change the registry, etc. Hope you can help.
Thanks in advance,
Shelley
alright, even though OP doesn't deserve to be told what the application is, what he was looking for is Flash Lite v2.1, in order to use iTask (btw, READ THE FIRST POST OF ITASK, IT IS TALKED ABOUT).
What you are looking for is currently impossible. There is nothing that will show embedded videos from places like YouTube (embedded as in right in the browser), except for Skyfire, which is just slow and choppy so it doesn't count. The closest thing is FlashVideoBundle 1.4.4
That's all I'm telling you, you're going to have to search for it (searching is easier than making a new post/thread, keep that in mind).
wm6 flash player
Hi Azimuth, thanks for your reply. I have already tried tcmp with the flash bundle you mentioned, but was not satisfied. I am not particularly interested in playing youtube videos or being limited to the sites outlined in that program. You said what I am looking for is impossible but if it worked, wouldn't adobe's flash player 7 for ppc do exactly what I am looking for! Play flash files embedded into web sites? Unfortunately for some reason it loads but doesn't work. I appreciate your input very much and believe me I have been searching to the point that I see double...lol. Take care and if you have any other insights please do not hesitate. Thanks again, Shelley

What you want is not possible.
Technically embedded Flash works with Flash Player 7, but the problem is Flash Player 7 is so outdated, everyone uses more advanced versions of flash, and therefore, they do not work on our phone. There is only one website that I know of that works: homestarrunner.com
skyfire works perfectly on my phone...not choppy at all and will play everything i have thrown at it so far
Thanks
Well, I would like to thank all of you for taking the time to respond, I really appreciate it. Thanks for clarifying things as well as your insight and suggestions. All of this was very helpful. Sincerely, Shelley
What a waste of time
Why would take the time to reply to a message for legitimate question and tell them to run a search. Most people have ran searches and not found anything and that's why they are posting a thread. I for one have problems with finding a flash player that works. At one point in time I found one for my touch (running WM6.1) then did a hard reset and can't find it anymore.
I have tried FlashvideoBundle, Adobe flash 7 for ppc phones, Streaming media and others with no luck.
With WM6 flashvideobundle was awsome. Skyfire is decent but doesn't have the option to save videos or play them in TCMP.
Any help would be appreciated, but if your gonna tell me to do a search, don't waste your time (I search every day for about an hour at work). Seems WM6.1 is killing me.
Flash for PPC doesn't work any longer, because of what Azimuth21 explained
there are 2 flavors of flash,
- Flash Player, which allows you to run swf files form the phone
- Flash Lite 2.1, which is used by the/a browser
Adobe has created a new version of Flash Lite version 3.1, this one does
play nice with most websites, unfortunately it only works with the newest Opera builds, not with PIE..the new Pocket Internet Explorer will though..
Downloading the video's is not possible because they are embedded,
use WebVideoDownloader for that (it's buggy though)
Hope it helps, but you could've found this using the search
Flash works with skyfire, opera 9.5(new builds) and internet explorer 6, so far it works best with skyfire imho.but not great there either.

Thank you Mr. Gee for your input, but I did figure out how to get flash to work and save the videos to my phone. Maybe you can run a search and then you will know how to. Hope this Helps!

care to share your find with us? I've been looking everywhere but haven't been successful so far. tried flash 7, flash lite 3.1 and still nothing
this is a dead thread, the last reply was 5 months ago...
anyway he probably meant the tcpmp plugin, it allowed you to click a link in pie
and a popup would ask you wat to do with the file, e.g. play or save
search the dev & hacking forum for the cab file

eagerly waiting for my HD2 have some questions

Hi I sold my telstra touch hd and briefly went to google for a month and had the droid. It was a fair phone and had a great UI and i liked certain things such as google navigation the handcent sms, google voice. However certain deal breakers started to arise, I could not surf the internet and talk on the phone at the same time, there was no sirius radio application, the soft keyboard was terrible, the mms still needed work, i missed copy and paste, i didnt like all the "green" that was everywhere, no decent attractive music player. Anyhow I went promptly back to ATT and ordered the hd2 telstra. I know how to hard spl my phone put in roms etc, my questions are:
1. what is the most commonly used navigation software for winmo or what is the best to use with the hd2? I have been searching but can't seem to pick one, is there a cab around here? is it already bundled with hd2?
2. what roms are being offered that do no include htc messaging? I seem to have only found one. Does anyone know which chefs there are that offer this? i went on htc pedia and it seems like miri and dutty dont offer this removal yet for hd2.
3. is there a voice to text cab available much like google 2.1's voice to text?
4. i want to install facebook panel onto the hd2 and i think i found a thread that tells you how, or does anyone have a tutorial?
5. google just released a web app for iphone for their google voice, has anyone tried this web app on their hd2? or what is the best gv dialer to use at the moment?
6. is pandora now available for hd2?
i think thats it your help is most appreciated, please dont attack me if these are similar questions asked before, i did go over the forum and searched thank yu
is there anyone that can help

You can just remove it yourself. That's what I did.

I don't know if the "Oz" version comes with it but in the UK it comes with a trial version of Co-Pilot as part of the rom although its not that hard to add other apps instead of this...at the moment Igo,Tomtom,GarminXT and Navigon seem to be the most popular add ons (tried them all myself and TT's winning for me so far as I'm pretty familiar with it although I do like the "live" services you get with Garmin )

i read about that however if you remove it you lose the mms functionality and they havent figured out how to put that back, im looking for a rom where the chef got rid of it themselves and its just the pocket outlook sms with mms as well
can anyone else answer my questions?

Fully integrated youtube!!!!!

If your like me one of the few features that I've been jealous of on the iphone and droids ( booo) is integrated youtube. When they receive a youtube link via text or email it opens up their youtube player. Not the web browsers.
It took a while for me to get it working right but now we have it too!!!!
Check out my post on ppcgeeks
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=125307
Works perfect! The speed could be faster, but I guess that's a HTC Youtube issue, because this C++ program is very small! Would you mind if I cook this into my roms?
Thanks for your great work!
Very nice!
You posted this on ppcgeeks:
Actually even if you dont have the htc youtube app you can benefit from this app. Whenever you click on a youtube link it will open the mobile version of youtube in your browser. In other words if your receive a link http://www.youtube.com/watch........... it will convert then open the link Http://m.youtube.com/watch...........
Is it possible to play this link in youtube without converting it to the mobile version of youtube? Because a lot of video's are blocked in m.youtube so you can't watch it on your mobile. They work if I play them in the brower with the normal link.

Please Clarify, I'm not sure what you mean. What I meant was for those without the HTC youtube app, they can still benefit from the app that I made. Because in order to play youtube videos via RTSP ( core player or streaming media player ) you have to open up the mobile youtube website and this app does that automatically when it detects that you dont have the youtube player

Cook Away!!!!!
Although your more then welcome to cook it into your rom, I ask that you please do not share the cab directly, instead point to the thread.
Secondly, give me a shot out in your thread.

By the time the youtube app starts my app has already closed and is not! running in the backround, so the slowdown is all HTC's fault
I have no idea what it means to "cook away", but from the another part of your question I understood that I'm welcome to cook it xD
I have a link to my rom thread in my signature, so you're welcome to look into it.
Again, many thanks for that genius program.

Hey Jackos
I think we might have had a translation issue, when I said "Cook Away!!" I meant that you're more the welcome to cook it into your rom. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help.
I only ask that you give me a mention in your roms thread. Good Luck, thanks for taking the time to bless us with your ROMS
Haven't tested this yet but I'm going to test this today. If this works, it'll revolutionize how we experience Youtube on our devices. I'm sick of Opera trying to open the videos by itself and then failing miserably.

An email with a youtube link opens up the youtube player which is great. But, other html links do nothing. Your program may not play well with jzbrowser mortsript which when an email html hyperlink is clicked allows selection among multiple browsers and then places the clicked link into the browser's url go textbox.
Can you modify your program to work with jzbrowser mortscript app?
Thanks.

I was about to ask the same thing...im not a member of a lot of places so it would be nice if it was posted here as well. Im not trying to be difficult or anything but I think it would be a benefit to others who are like myself who dont like to go to a hundred different sites for info. Call me old fashioned but I love my one stop shop in xda
I'm using Sprint TP2. I texted myself a Youtube video link. The youtube app loads, but it comes up as "Connection Failed. Please Try Again."

Yeah, and it's not just that. I don't think it would make since for me to register with a message board when I'm just going there to get one app. I'd probably never return to that site unless there was someting there that I needed.

What do I do with my PPC 6700

I bailed out on my sprint account years ago. I've been able to cruise the wireless net where hot, but what else can I do with the phone.
Is there any hope of reactivation or even selling the unit
Has anyone successfully flashed an android o/s on it ?
Sorry for all the Q's
Tony
Just found mine in a box of old stuff wanted to know the same thing , It was a great phone but now without phone service to it wondering what use it will be ?
This forum will not allow me to post the links to the Android and Familiar downloads and instructions. So, I will try a message.

I have the same issue with an Alltel version of the HTC Innovation, PPC6700.
Can it be revived anywhere?
Im working on putting the android system on mine and hoping to remove the phone applications and use it as a media player. Im not too sure what else I can use it for.
I am planning to use it as an in-car mp3 player.
For now I will just use the windows 6.5 that is on it.. but it would be nice to get android or a base linux distro working on it. I want it to offer windows networking (samba) so that I can just drag songs on to it from inside my house.
I'm actually a bit excited to put it to good use. I currently just use it for windows phone development (testing).
I too just unearthed two of them & put the tinkerbell 6.5 ROM on both of em. Needed to do some in-building antenna troubleshooting and they worked GREAT! I had wanted to make them little video players for the kiddos, but i'm afraid they'll dial 911. So for now, they sit patiently on my desk.
Do you have any info on the tinkerbell ROM?

[Q] Various questions or thoughts...

Hello,
I had my Magic for 4 months now and I think that I'm done "playing" with it; by that, I mean trying different ROMS, apps or tweaks !
I sticked with CM6, a classic choice but a wise one I guess. However, I'm still left with several questions or thoughts :
- Is there a way to get a nice general rotate animation ? Rotation just prompts when the phone is tilted and I find it to be a rather abrupt transition. App "Floating Images" offers what I would want to see on all my system.
I guess it's not possible but if tweaks exist, I'm listening...
- I can't install Flash Player. It is nowhere to be found on the market for me. Can't install it from AppBrain either. Titanium Back-up says it is installed on the phone but the package is crossed-out.
Is this a common bug with CM6 ?
- Is it possible to have decent video playback performances with the HTC Magic ? I briefly had a HTC Mega before and with equal (even lesser) specifications, the Mega, using WM6, offers great video playback of various kinds of file ! How come it is so hard to read even a small video on the device ?
I tried several apps but the result is always the same; buggy...
- How can I get a transparent notification bar ? I found a lot of threads but nothing for the Magic specifically...
I would have other questions but that's it for the moment !
Thanks !
