Following on from my previous (and ongoing) thread about the YouTube app, I decided to give the Google version a go.
Whilst on the plus side it doesn't mess about with the HTC album and it does appear to work rather well, I have 2 problems with it.
Firstly there doesn't seem to be an option to play the clip in HD if it's available and secondly, clips are rotated on the wrong side of the screen. What I mean by this is that by default you would rotate the phone clockwise by 90 degrees rather than anti-clockwise by the same angle as in every other app.
Is there any way to change which way the app rotates the screen to play back video? I can't think of a way to play clips in HD but that surely must be hard-coded into the app.
google youtube
Well there are other youtube apps just go on google and type youtube app windows mobile . It will take straight to googles official youtube app.
went to mobile youtube site, downloaded & installed Google Youtube app on my mobile (ATT Tilt 8925 TyTN II Kaiser 100 , WM 6.5 light ahmedfikry).
after searching for a file, when i click to play it,
showing me error "Inter Error : ..\xplatform\util\imageutils. cpp:292".
after i click on the 'ok' on that error popup window,
Google Youtube app quits !
previously on WM 6.1 , it used to work fine.
any1 facing & solved this problem ?
EDIT :
when i went to mobile youtube website through the IE, files were playing with lot of video+audio jittering (stopping & playing).
but after installing the "Dvha79 AdobeFlash3.1 plugin.cab" (Adobe Flash Lite 3.1 by dvha79_ddt) , IE can now play smoothly.
I had the rotate problem on my ATT Tilt 2 in the past and I found that if you opened the phone up and then launched the app that it would rotate the screen correctly.
I now use the YouTube app that is cooked in the ROM (listed below) and it works just fine.

So I installed TCPMP, with the necessary plug-ins to get Youtube videos from the browser to automatically open them in TCPMP. It worked for a while but apparently youtube changed their system and both mine and my friends 8525 wont play them anymore.
Is there a fix for this yet?
same problem here using schaps 3.6a rom
Youtube changed something on their site, that's why it isn't working anymore until the plugin gets fixed.
Mobytube still works tho.
Mobytube.net still works. It's kind of a mobile sized search engine for Youtube - I found it quicker than navigating via youtube itself.
There is a fiX!

Hi,
I've just installed the latest WM6 rom on my 8525 and also installed Flash player 7 along with the java addons. I've tried viewing videos from youtube and mtv from both internet explorer and opera mini 4 beta 3 but any video i click it always says flash player not installed and click here to go to adobe etc.... Can someone help me configure it so I can play flash videos? thanks
cmon, somebody has to have an answer for this. I can't load any videos on standard pages for myspace, mtv, youtube, etc. it says javascript is either turned off or you dont have the right player. I downloaded flashplayer 7. Running mini opera 4 beta 3 and pocket IE as well as picsel browser.
Mobile browsers not designed for video
Neither of the browsers you are trying are capable of displaying flash based videos. The Opera Mini will probably never support them because it is a Java based browser for use on most any phone. There is a Windows Mobile Opera that is in beta, last I heard, that claims to support flash based videos, however the only thing I could get it to do was crash my 8525, forcing me to soft reset, at which time I then uninstalled it completely. As you will see in the instructions at one of the links below, there is one more file you can download that will play the videos, which seems to be accomplished through the link from internet explorer triggering the thirdparty app to open and strat trying to play the video.
You could try the instructions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=326225, however I have not tried them and can not confirm for you if they work.
The way I currently play these type files is using a program called AvotMV. AvotMV has a internet browser type feel to it, and when you play the videos it will automatically play them "full" screen (in portrait mode). If you want to try AvotMV, you can download it for free from the developers here here http://www.avotmedia.com/
the tcpmp and flashbundle works beautifuly. especially on a highspd connection. the newest version givesthe choice dowloading or streaming it. You will have to unistall flash7 as it will clash with flashbundle plugin. I posted awhile back if some could figure out how to get them to work together or at least independently on different browsers because the tmpcp flash plugin will only play videos not other flash content.
That explains it...
I have the official flash 2.1 from adobe for WM5/6 which allows me to use one of the spinning cube flash controllers. Would be nice if someone could figure it out because this does not look like it will work for me until a fix is made.
has anyone been able to get the HTC youtube player to work ?
when it tries to play a video on my vogue it just freezes ...
It works for me but the only problem is that the audio is always out of sync, always...

Same here with HTC Youtube on my Sprint Vogue. It's first screen is really nice, shows neat little summaries. But when one is selected to play, ugh! First of all, the player goes left handed on me, sort of upside down. And the aspect ratio of the area for video is rediculously w-i-d-e screen. Worst of all, it just freezes, curable only via soft reset.
So, my use of HTC Youtube is only to pick out a video. Next, I open up youtubeplay, enter keywords from HYt, and then download the FLV file rather than viewing it. Once D/L'd, I use TCPMP to play it nice and smooth, sync'd too.
Youtubeplay is available here:

Works perfect for me. First install the app, then the ravest fix.
I've found that the least troublesome way to use flash is to use Skyfire (mobile browser), plays pretty much any flash file inside the browser. It's also free.

You can also fire up Opera Mobile Ver 9.5 or higher and simply install the You Tube Widget.
When i open HTC YouTube app it doesn't load the thumbnails of the videos, only the gray tv icons! Does anyone else have same issue?
How can i fix this?
Thanks!
yes i have the same problem! i've searched for some answers and no luck. the google youtube works fine but it's not the same quality.
Me too! The same problem with HTC's Youtube client.
I noticed that under the history tab, some old videos i had viewed about a week ago had their thumbnails displayed whereas the more recent videos had none (an active internet connection is required to load these 'history thumbnails').
Also, from a "fresh" list of videos,if you click on the description button (!), a thumbnail sometimes loads on the description screen.
This leads me to conclude it's not the software, but somehow Youtube has stopped sending/changed the preview pictures that accompany the video description.
Is this just a temporary glitch, or does Google want us all to switch to its own viewer?
guys
go for the offical youtube app from google
its work for me and its faster than the htc youtube
demo video

download last version
http://m.google.com/youtube/download/binaries/L1/2.0.9/youtube.CAB
yeah o dont reallu like the google youtube version its faster but less quality. anyway i was having the same problem now is working fine. maybe it was a problem on the youtube server or maybe upgrading my sprint rom to the latest htc version fixed it.
Hi guys!
Before when i bought my diamond with the standard WM 6.1 Pro, i had a great youtube application built in but when i flashed it to Söderström 6.5 it's gone and i can't find it and it's not Google Youtube App cause i tried it and it takes years to Buffering.
Thx!
the google youtube app works fine for me is it the latest version 2.4.4? if not get that one
Google's official youtube app realy takes longer to buffer. Here is the official Diamond youtube app:

The best one is to go on your phone and navigate to m.google.co.uk. Then get the app and the newest google apps.
