Best YouTube Player - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Does anyone know the best you tube player that will work well with 6.5?

This is a question and belongs in the Questions and Answers section... and you can try using the official HTC one or YouTubePlay which is made by a member on the forum. (Use the search function and you'll find it)

In my opinion the youtube app of kinoma play is the best.

Hi,
you can also try ffplay. Its free and open source. http://www.ffmpeg-wince.org ... Bye

i have kinoma free play, its nice but some youtube videos don't play. have the htc youtube app(haven't ever had a problem playing videos) and also have the official youtube app
i like the HTC one the best. kinoma has cool animations but as i said wont play alot of the videos. and the official app plays good. best quality out of those 3 have got to be the HTC app(which has a choice for quality if you have a slow connection)
easiest one you get working on any windows mobile device and watch all the videos would be the official youtube app http://www.youtube.com/yt_mobile_app

why don't you just use the Official YouTube application from YouTube.com this is the link m.google.com/youtube

Is community-added DivX support possible?

Hi all,
So, I'm trying to establish whether it is possible for the community to add DivX support. I see commits like these:
https://www.codeaurora.org/gitweb/q...it;h=69023cf85787ff454ce0549f532f9aecfad2ae29
https://www.codeaurora.org/gitweb/q...it;h=208bf6e29780fd15bfd0f6d6575a26ae78591378
that add at least the start of DivX support. But I haven't been able to get it to build, and even then, it's not clear to me if things like a DSP firmware image or something else (presumably proprietary) is required.
Any insights?
Edit: this was originally posted in the Development section, as it is a development question, but it has been moved to General. There is no question that many people would like Divx and other codec support. This thread was supposed to be specifically about getting Divx support in OpenMax/mm-video working.

Using a program from the market I was able to watch a 720 MKV on my nexus the picture was fine and sound was fine.
Only issue was video was delayed while sound went full speed, other then this it was awesome looking.

Re: DivX support
i don't know what app the other guy is thinking about, but you can find in the market "yxplayer" (trial) and with it you can play at least videos like avi etc etc kn your N1. i think it wilk be hard to find a full free app for that goal. if you find, post here the name please.

How to play HD Videos?

Well, the WMV files will play but it's slow & jerky.
so isn't there to play HD AVI files on htc HD mini?
AVI will play!, but if 720p and above won't.
I searched so much and couldn't find one?
Strange it's Microsoft Windows Mobile! I don't believe, it must have!
We see on our Computer Windows has a Great Media Player
Thanks
Can't play at MP4 720p & above!
In the Album, I see the Picture of the Video!
but when press it, a Black screen will display! looks like it's it's finished?
Can't play at MP4 720p & above!
but lower yes.
So the problem is the Windows Mobile or htc HD mini? or needs a Software Codecs?
Thanks

Well any idea?
Have you tried another video player like CorePlayer?
Maybe the CPU is not strong enough to play that files...
Yes I tried CorePlayer Before!
But I Never seen too Worst Player
Well Codiak, the CorePlayer doesn't play HD or so Jerky plays!
We need to be Powerful and should play HD Videos!
I Don't think the Phone is Bad;,
I think the Windows Mobile or the Players aren't Good!
So any another ideas?

wait for Android to be fully ported,and try Android players.
btw why do you want to play HD videos on HALF VGA screen resolution?
FULL HD=1920x1080
HALF VGA=320x480
p.s. i converted some videos on 720p and didnt work,then i converted to 480p and works fine,and looks very good,clear and bright..just like HD on TV,give it a try

Well, tzacapaca
Like I said on top; Can't Play 720p AND Above, But Lower Yes
And Why I will play on my phone, Because it's need time to be converted, much files, quility lose, transferring files, to be sure high quality, and... etc...
And the World is Going to be Full 3D xHD experience on MicroPhones,
about the Android Yes you're Right.
Dear tzacapaca,
If I really Spamming, I will Delete this my Question Sooonest as possible!
So Tell me Now Should I Delete IT? Say: YES! or NO!

Well, tzacapaca
I'm Sorry for Spamming, but I don't think it's absurd to play HD Videos on mini, I know no need to view HD Videos on mini! I'm wathing the Video both 40'inch LED TV and phone via USB, so if two files it will eat space, one's better than two..
And I see, I can't delete this mine Thread by myself...

But there is no fun in watching hd videos in such a small screen.

Does the Xoom block YouTube content?

I know the iPad will block lots of content, for no reason?
I accidentally discovered this after watching a Vevo video on my laptop but then when I tried searching for the same video on the iPad, it wouldn't even show up in the results.
Don't have my Xoom yet to test out.
Nope the android youtube app for honeycomb and froyo both have Vevo videos. I haven't seen any mobile blocked videos like I used to on my phone six months ago.
I was not aware of blocked content on the iPad, but no, by the looks of the the Xoom has everything youtube normally would.
I may have done something wrong, though I don't know how I could have, but "I Need a Doctor" by Dr. Dre from his VEVO channel would not play/load. Said it could not be loaded on mobile.
I tried this video on the Best Buy demo when I went to look at it. I was trying to think of a HD video I could play to try and see how it displayed. Since I just watched it previously, I knew it had 720p.
Can anyone play it on their xoom?

Vevo has it's own app, they don't show up in the normal android app, I don't think they ever did. Possibly different licensing issues at play here.

The Vevo app works fine on my Xoom..... till i go to play any video
If anyone else has Vevo working on their Xoom, Please let me know.
This may not help. But the VEVO app works on the XOOM. I watched some videos on it yesterday. Just remember to press HQ on each video or it looks like ****.

This is it. Google has some licensing agreements that prevent playback of videos on Mobile phones, but it's not bulletproof.
If you can't find it using the Youtube app, just go to youtube.com in the browser and you can view the video natively there.
With above.
Uploaders can specify wether they want to allow mobile devices to be able to search/view the video, at least with the Youtube app.

Soooper annoying. At least with VEVO app you can view music videos that were previously unavailable.
I recall with the EVO, the YouTube app blocked even more content.
VEVO will crash repeatedly. I had to use spare parts and turn off the Compatibility mode and now vevo works great.

Best Video App for the Xoom?

Hey,
Wondering if anyone wants to recommend me a video app for the xoom.
Ideally, play files without converting (i.e. mkvs). also optimized for larger screens.
heard about rockplayer - but apparently you cant get the paid version. dont mind paying for no ads.
in the meantime anything else?
search is your friend; endless posts about this topic in the Apps thread..
I would reccomend Rock Player. It isnt in the market so you will have to go to their site to get it. It is free and will play pretty much any video file there is.
rockplayer. freecoder. org

moboplayer
I also second Moboplayer -- it's been able to smoothly play videos rockplayer couldn't handle
I gave this a try and it does play things the stock player cannot. Although it still cannot play high profile 720p files properly, still, a very good player so far.
Yeah, It still fails on 720P high prof MKVs -- it's a bummer. But it handles AVI's better than rock player(though it chokes on 5 channel audio - 6channel is fine)
Moboplayer plays my avi, xivd perfectly but has issues with audio from MKV's. Sadly, I have to install multiple video players to play my videos. I have over 5TB worth of MKV's. I'm going to have to re-encode, if I ever want to play them on my Xoom on one video player.

+1 for mobo
Vital player works great

moboplayer is great too
Moboplayer plays literally everything that I throw at it. I always dl movies and tv shows from all the file sharing sites and it literally everything plays smooth.

Any high profile 720p mkv file does not play with moboplayer. More specifically, it will try to play but without sound and severe stutter.
After trying numerous video apps, the best one I found is PlayOn. Early on I had issues with some video files but after updating to the latest server software, I was able to play all my video files (avi, xivd & mkv's) perfectly. PlayOn player is free but you have to pay for the server software.
I'm willing to pay if it plays all my video files w/o conversion but I found it best to convert it to the Xoom screen size & shrink down my 8GBs+ 1080p MKV's to 2GB+ for when I'm traveling or watching while eating lunch at work. I use DVD Catalyst to convert.

YouTube HQ not working right?

So I went to watch my favourite music video on YouTube (Earl by Earl Sweatshirt, if you're interested xD). Anyways when I went to load it in landscape mode, the audio would play but the video would not move. So I turned off HQ, and it started working great! Albeit, the quality was greatly dampered. I am on Froyo using Cyanogenmod 6, the latest release and I am using the latest release of the YouTube client from the market.
Sent from my HTC Dream
nope, the HQ videos uploaded since Jan or Feb 2011 have a higher resolution compared to earlier ones (640x360 as compared to 480x360),so they just dont play.the 320x240 vids play as usual,so in a way HQ doesnt exist anymore for our phones,unless you r watching an older upload.
This just sucks,if not HQ atleast there should be resize/fit to screen options in the player so the video doesnt get tinier on the already limited space.
Thanks for the clarification.
I was wondering why some HQ vids work fine on my magic but most of the time I have the same prob with Smokexz heh.
I've noticed while running Gingeryoshi 1.1, using the Stock Browser allows you to watch HQ Videos. But there is a slight delay from the press of play, to the actual playback.
Sorry for the bump of this old thread, but is there really no recent rom that allows for the play of HQ videos? Does anyone know if installing an old apk of the youtube app allows it?
