Youtube movies?

Is it possible to get Youtube movies working on the BA (running WM6), and if so, what player do I need?
The TCPMP player gives me a "RTSP protocol not supported" error when trying to look at a Youtube movie :/

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....
regards,
krz

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!
Very cool...

After doing a bit more digging, I installed Streaming Media v 2.10 build 518.700 (from High Tech Computer Corp.) on it.
It's working GREAT!

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?
sorry for whining around here, but this really makes me go N U T Z

I'm not having any problems with Youtube after reading (and installing) this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=313961
Also.. Make sure that you use http://m.youtube.com with you PDA.

I read thru that post as well and as I wrote, I cannot play back m.youtube.com videos eitehr, it just sttarts loading and stops immediatly at 0KB again, thats it.
what streaming client do you have installed?
the one, that came with xplode's cabs?
or that one: RvBCrS_HTC_Streaming_Media.rar?

the easy and fast way, install my streaming media cab open m.youtube.com and it will stream with the player just fine, tested and working

thx, xplode! i actually did that. first time, i could not start the application, because of some error. i reinstalled the SDKCerts again and after that the error was gone, but no application starting either.... i really tried various times, what am i missing?

well did you installed audio manager also ?, inside the cab there is verinfou.dl which is needed for most of the HTC software, but if you install them both it will work

My Diamond plays no videos anymore!?!?

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 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!

Coreplayer / iPlayer & HD2

There seem to be some issues with coreplayer on the HD2. Couple of reports in the corecodec forums. Personally I can't play anything downloaded off iplayer - it crashes the phone and it needs a soft reset to recover.
Anyone else seen a problem?

heard you had to switch "play mode" - GDI or directdraw... don't remember actually, but have you tried it?
ah, found it.. from DD --> GDI (video output)

Yeah, my old version of coreplayer didn't work at all which was upsetting since it's a great player. Instant crash. I had to find version 1.3.6, that's working a treat.

I am using Coreplayer 1.30 for streaming the videos of myplayer 1.80. I have no problems at all.

HD2/myplayer/coreplayer
Hmmph. Hope this is the right place to post and that someone can help...
I wanted to get iPlayer working on my HD2 (T-mobile). Investigated various methods and got nearest with myplayer.
However, when coreplayer is invoked all I get is a dark screen with the player controls at the bottom, menu items etc, and a rotating-dots hourglass thing (sorry - don't know tech term for that). It seems to have loaded the duration of the stream but gone straight to the end of it (the position slider is all the way to the right).
I have set the video out to GDI.
I'm using a Wi-Fi connection (phone turned off).
myPlayer version: 1.080
CorePlayer version: 1.3.6 build 7427 for ARM
Sometimes in CorePlayer I get the following error and then the device locks up.
"File not found!rtsp://3gp-acl.bbc.co.uk:554/3gpclip/iPlayer (FFFFFFF8)".
Any ideas please?

HD2/myplayer/coreplayer
Hi All!
Similar to David Copus -[HD2/myplayer/coreplayer] problems. myPlayer starts up coreplayer but hangs on trying to load the stream video. I tried player through divx 0.9 also and asplayer
I have set the video out to GDI and RawFrame Buffer
I'm using a Wi-Fi connection
myPlayer version: 1.080
CorePlayer version: 1.3.6 build
Please help.
If there are also any support ideas on trying to run .avi
coreplayer and divx player run some but some files require AC-3 & some ATS or something? (Do i need to wait for coreplayer 2.0 or are there alternatives?)
Thanks

Any idea?
I seem to have the same issue as the above two people!
Coreplayer 1.3.6 working fine, using GDI, quite happy with that. However when I come to use myPlayer it just launches with a blank screen (although I can get certain "live" content to work - so far BBC News 24 and Sky News!).
Anyone any ideas?
(thanks)

Same here, except I'm using 3G and not tried RawFrame.
I've downloaded and played something via myPlayer, but if I try to stream I get the same as the guys above - it's as if it's jumped right to the end of the stream and therefore won't play. If I move the slider back to the beginning, I just get the "busy" animation ad infinitum.
Can't be doing with having to download everything I want to watch!

Guys, please help
I have an HTC HD2 and have successfully installed Coreplayer and MyPlayer. Every time I try to run MyPlayer I get the much mentioned error below:
myPlayer Exception
1.090
Execution error unable to invoke media player in the path:
\Program Files\SorePlayer\player.exe
....
________________________________
I have made the Video change to GDI in CorePlayer and it makes no difference.
P.S. I can only assume that the good people at CorePlayer are doing their very best to dissuade people from using their product. You need some persistence to get to the stage where you get their product on your device. Is it any wonder that iPhone and the app store is so successful?

I have been steaming iPlayer and several live radio and TV stations from all over the world with Skyfire - and over 3G! No problems at all

For CorePlayer use:
DirectDraw
Overlay format YUY2
uncheck all in DirectDraw tab
Most speedy for me about 2.7 Mbit/s

The error tells us that the core player application cannot be found at the location specified. Looks like a typo in the path.
I would suggest:
\Program Files\SorePlayer\player.exe
should be set to:
\Program Files\CorePlayer\player.exe
Best thing to do is to select "Other" and use the "..." button in myPlayer to find the application on your device.
Hope that helps!

Yes, Coreplayer crashes the HD2
Yes, me too. Got my HD2 yesterday. Stupid WMP won't play avi, so I shelled out for Coreplayer and the first 2 avi files I tried to play and it crashed the phone and had to do a soft reset. The files play fine on my PC.
Can't find any other avi player for the HD2 on the Net. Betaplayer and its variants are all versions of Coreplayer.
Any ideas, anyone?

I don't have CorePlayer, but assuming it works the same way as TCPMP, try choosing DirectDraw as your video renderer and YUY2 as your DirectDraw overlay format. Tick the "use device stretching" box and uncheck the others on the DirectDraw page. If all that doesn't help then change the renderer to GDI.
EDIT: as this post has been linked to a couple of times recently, I felt I should redraft it a little!
The full set of optimum video settings for TCPMP or Coreplayer (in my opinion) is:
- Orientation: left-handed
- Zoom: fit best
- Video renderer set to DirectDraw
- Smooth zoom to "on" or "always" (NOT to 50%)
- Dither on (for the times when you need to switch to GDI, e.g. for subtitles)
- In the DirectDraw properties, set overlay format to YUY2. Also tick the box that says "use device stretching when blitting" and untick the other two boxes.

Fix for Coreplayer avi problem
Fixed. The Corecodec support forum has the answer: go into Video Settings in Coreplayer, and change from DirectDraw to GDI. Both avi files play just fine now and the player is excellent.
Cheers,
David

And thanks to the people in this forum who made the same/similar suggestions. Cheers!

Core player problem...

Hello guys. I installed core player and I am trying to watch a video but, I don't know why, the playing is very very slow, with the software displaying many times the icon of "waiting status"... unwatchable!
If I try with in-built windows media player the same file is good and smooth...
the file is in .mp4
I also try divx player, but the GUI is very small and the buttons too small...not good for me.
any ideas?
Thanks a lot to everybody in advance.

More information please - what version of Coreplayer, what settings?

if wmp is playing smooth then why would u need coreplayer! if u wanna watch flash from browser....get skyfire.

sorry for few info, but i was in a hurry.
Core player 1.3.6
I have installed also the driver patch 1.1 by chainfaire (if it is related...)
My rom as in signature.

Go to Menu>Tools>Settings>Select Page>Video and then change the Video output to GDI. That should fix your performance issues.

THANKS
thank you jakem.
Now works perfectly. There are a lot of settings and I don't know exactly what they are. Unfortunateky I haven't found yet a manual on the net
But anyway, great software. I managed also to rotate landscape with BsB the software. Did I do it right or there was a solution inside coreplayer? (because sometimes it gets slow with few framerates)

There is setting for rotation. It's in the main menu .. take some time experimenting.
Actually I found that raw frame buffer video mode is a just few percent faster, but I may just imagine things.

I'm having the same problem. Videos stutter until they are unwatchable.
I opened the same video in WMP and it runs without any lag.
I selected GDI in Core Player and still the same performance continues.
I have the ChainFire driver installed, would that be related?

This happened to me yesterday.
And ironically, the benchmark was ok! only the playback was horrible. Couldn't find out what caused it. I removed Chainfire's patch but that didn't help. Had to hard reset at last.
And by the way, I tried all 3 video output modes, no avail...
Coreplayer 1.3.6

Windows Media can't play videos? (jagan I need help!)

I use jagan2's ROM and everything works perfectly fine. But I have an issue with it. The windows media in the ROM can only play music but not the video. I downloaded divx program but I still dont know how to play the videos I recorded from my phone because it still opens the video file with windows media instead of the divx. How do I do to fix it?

Thanks for the response! But can you suggest another program because Coreplayer doesnt have sound for some reason?

Have you tried the freeware TCPMP? It plays almost every kind of files out there Audio and Video. You can get it right here on XDA:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=636423
I'm using it on Jagan's Evo2 ROM and it works perfectly.
Good luck.

Yes, the above suggestions will work for you.
And yes in the new version it will be fixed. Still finding time to finish it.

what you mean that it doesnt have sound?
perhaps you downloaded the wrong version...or the trial one..also there is a thing in the program (a thing that can be scrolled, as in every another program.cause of my "good" english i cant really explain you what i mean and i dont rly think that somebody understands what i am writing here, however =D) that controls the sound.
i dont know.
but today i rewatched the "harry potter 6" with coreplayer and everything was super
http://4pda.ru/forum/dl/post/336158/CorePlayer.PocketPC.r7427.cab and i downloaded it from here (it's a direct link that doesnt need a keygen or a crack so enjoy)
what about the "TCPMP"..I never tried it, but cause it's freeware, it cant be better then the coreplayer =p
@jagan2, honey...this forum can live without you =p it would be better if the time that you are spending by answering questions here would be used on finishing the rom.thanks =D

Thx guys, i fixed it!
Btw, japan, I would like to try your ultimate EVO but is there a way to save the texts on my current phone because they are quite important and I dont wanna lose them from flashing new ROM.
