How I can look videos in streaming from megavideo with the hd2?
(sorry for my bad english)
download skyfire or just use internet explorer
with ie doesn't work
with skyfire when i click "play", it opens an advert
Sky fire doesnt seem to rotate atall I noticed which is pants for flash videos like iPlayer. Does anyone know if it is ment to rotate horizontally when you rotate phone like IE and opera do?

I don't use Skyfire, so I don't know if it's supposed to rotate, but if it doesn't then there's various threads on here explaining how to enable rotation for applications.
Probably the easiest way, though, is to use BsB Tweaks.

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:

And TCPMP 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.
I've had my HD2 since yesterday and just noticed that pinch to zoom is not working on the sample video file in the album app or video clips I've recorded.
It works on photos, opera browser and a few of the installed apps but not on video. Has anybody else had this problem.
Yes i've noticed this aswell, I just assumed they had taken out this feature (after all, why would you want to zoom in on a video?)
cause you might have spotted something that you want to zoom in on?
pretty logical to have zoom to zoom in on stuff
maybe just a registry hack would be sufficient?

Thanks, already do that.
I think my provider "orange" removed pinch and zoom for opera.
Anyone else has the pb ?
altough I don't miss that feature, I was wondering too why I can't pinch-zoom like you saw in all those videos.
I have the standard EU/English retail from expansys and pinch-zoom doesn't work with any video.
mine doesn't zoom in videos either
It's not another post about if it's possible to have xfire messenger on wm but this: http://www.xfire.com/live_video/
I don't know if I'm the only one but I never been able to have flash active x working on my uni, nor ie, nor opera.
Actually even the application to play youtube movies on the uni don't work for me, but I guess it should.
So, is there a way to make a web browser play flash things, or edit some lines in the youtube application to play thoses movies, or something else to make it work ?
So far the only way I found is to use remote desktop, which give 0,8fps and a very low quality sound.

Try using skyfire... just google or search over here, it's a freeware and plays flash videos flawlessly...
Thanks a lot, since I tryed netfront which wasn't able to play this, I though it would be the same for all browsers.
Though, I can't put movies into full screen, nor with the virtual cursor of skyfire, nor with fakecursor (my touch screen is dead), are you able to ?

well it doesn't support fullscreen,,,, but i mostly use zoom button to make it somewhat around the display size and focus on that part only... you can hide the top and bottom bar ... somewhat like full screen.... the only browser that supported fullscreen playback was mach5... which is not a freeware...
Ok, so you can install Flash for Opera but it sucks - it makes the phone unstable and slow. However it would be great if you could do the same thing you can do on the iPhone - that is whenever there's a YT movie you see the play icon but when you click on it it opens the YT app and it runs the movie in it not in the browser. Is there a way to do the same thing on HD2 with Opera?

I don't know about Opera as it isn't my fave, but install Skyfire and abra kadabra Youtube and other streaming sites work fine
Yes go to the mobile version of youtube which is.... m.youtube.com

That's not what I'm looking for I think I was misunderstood. Sometimes when you read a page there is a YT movie embedded on it. On the iPhone you can click on it and watch it in the YT application. Here all you have is the border of the movie with no info. So you even don't know the URL of the movie and as result you cannot watch it (well you'd have to view the code of the page and search for the URL).
install skyfire, its much better so long as you don't mind not being able to pinch zoom.

I don't like Skyfire's interface. I'll just have to wait for Opera 10 - if it supports pinch zoom cuz now (in Beta 2) it doesn't...

When you go to m.youtube.com you are provided with thumbnail of the video clips. Tap on it and the video automatically plays in the built in HTC youtube application full screen.

I got it . But I was writing about the situation when a video is embedded on some other site than youtube - like toucharcade.com for instance...

What you are talking about only works in IE built in on the HD2. I just did it and it worked fine. Check out this short video I just made with it working in IE on the HD2.

No - I meant embedded video files on websites like here for instance: http://prowokacje.com.pl - as you can see if you open this website in Opera you won't be able to view embedded YT videos. As I can see it should work in IE (video in the post above) but IE sucks . I'd like to see the same feature in Opera or Opera opening YT movies in the YT app.

As I already said in the first post fixoperaflash makes the phone unstable and it freezes the browser. YT movies work muuuuch better in the YT app. Ok, I see there's no resolution of my problem right now so I'll wait for Opera 10 with Flash and pinch zoom.
I am also looking for the answer to this. Some cooked ROM's have this working. I know that the stock t-mobile one will NOT do this weather its the mobile youtube or full version in opera. There must be some reg edit that makes this possible. I know IE on the HD2 will do this properly out of the box but I don't use IE for browsing the web on the HD2.

Hi
Can anyone tell me if I should be able to watch flash videos from the BBC news website? I am using stock opera 9.7 and I can't view them. I know that the device is not flash 10 compatable (gggrrr) but am unsure if I should be able to view the videos embedded on the bbc news site. Can anyone else??

It used to be possible to play them in Internet Explorer, but I've a feeling the BBC may have changed the format recently. I don't think they'll play in Opera Mobile 10, either, even though that does have some flash support. Your best bet is probably to use Skyfire.
They work in IE just fine for me, even the watch live streams for bbc2 ,3 etc work the only videos that dont work for me on the BBC site are the Live bbc 1 stream and iPlayer which show green and garbled stuff
Opera has never worked on the bbc videos for me at least, always moans about no javascript enabled or wrong version of flash
just tried to use IE and when I click a video IE crashes and closes. very anoying.....
Try, http://get.skyfire.com/.
thanks, i have used skyfire and it works ok but seems v slow compared to opera. I was trying to see if its possible just to have one browser that does everything! I guess not. It's very annoying and the only thing that really niggles me about the HD2. You'd think browsing would be the thing they'd really want to sort but no..... we still have to use 2 or 3 browsers depending on what we want to do. A bit of a joke really......
I hope some clever bod here can somehow get flash 10 to work on the HD2 seeing as it now seems that Adobe aren't!! I wonder if I could sue adobe? You spend £300+ on a handset as they say the HD2 will be the first WM device to support flash10 then a few weeks after I splash out they announce that they are no longer doing so!!! ggggrrrrrr

Lol I use Opera 9.7 for everyday browsing and I have Skyfire, Opera 10 and IE installed for 'backup browsing'!
