Yeah NBC is one i would prefer to watch, but the other channels are ok.
Honestly, this and Justin.tv are probably the only ways your going to get the streaming stuff. So I'd be happy with what's available. NBC is the BIGGEST (along with Fox) of the networks that watch the web like a hawk for unauthorized content. Just try and look for Saturday Night Live clips, they are IMPOSSIBLE!

No,you don,t need to any 3rd party app,should try to find some other issue on your device,skyfire can view every type of videos.
Not an app
If you have a tv tuner in your home computer, you can use Orb to stream any channel that you can watch on your computer. Works great on my TP2

Have a look at this site:

It a mobile search for google video
You can also use www.orb.com. The app is great. The youtube videos play nicely on my 8125
Thanks guys for the feedback.

how did u get to view you tube on your 8125? i have orb 2.0 and it keeps asking me for some codecs.
You have to download certain codecs and install them from there website. The codec that i installed to get the youtube videos to play was the ffdshow codec.
what do you guys mean? go to tinytube.net on your phone and you can download any video from 6 different sources, including, google, myspace, and break just to name a few.
its awesome

I second that. Nothing to install, just download away.

You CANNOT view youtube videos with tinytube.net. Plus it seems im always being queued to view a damn video. Orb is faster compared to the quality...only downside is you have to have your computer running. Which I dont find to be a problem personally
but most youtube videos are on google and myspace anyway
It seems that none of the offered solutions properly play streaming video. Anyone found any other way to do so?

Kind of off topic, but a little similar... Is anyone having problems downloading streaming media from these sites? I have an AT&T Tilt and whenever I click on a streaming link that is flashed based, Realplayer will come up and tell me this file format is not supported. But, there is no option anywhere to uninstall this thing! I also tried adding all associations /w TCPMP but still no luck. Anyone else running into this?
What Happend To All The Porn Sites On The Flash Video Bundle?
None Of Them Work Anymore ;/
They still work - it's just that you've gone blind
I would guess they were affected by stage6 going down like just about every other streaming divx site out there. Don't worry, it's only a matter of time before someone else picks up the slack. Veoh is trying to, but I'm not sure if they host adult content.
Is there a Flash Program that I can down load for my PPC Mogul 6800 that will enable me to watch the vidoes on www.youporn.com ? I had a few flash programs but none of them work for that site...when I go there from my phone and click on a video it says "you need flash to view this video"..is there already a cab for this?

I jus viewed that site..and even set up an account but you have to "buy time" to look at something...That sucks..Thanx but no thank you..I dont want to pay for porn when there are many sites out there where you can view them for free like www.youporn.com ...that site is 100% free only things is that I cant view it from my phone because it tells me that I need "Flash Player" to view the videos. I just dont know which flash player I need for it to work. does anyone else have any ideas?
Sorry, duplicate.
I have the same problem with youporn. I have set TCPMP as my default player and set it as the player of FLV files, but it won't play them on that site.
I can download the videos to my storage card and they play fine from there with TCPMP. I think it would work if there is a way to tell PIE to use TCPMP for FLV files online, but I don't know how to do that, or if it's possible.
SlashGear.com HTC Touch HD Review Part 1 said:
Flash and streaming media is not supported, unfortunately (there’s a standalone YouTube app to view videos from that site).

SlashGear have posted the first of two parts of their HTC Touch HD review.
No streaming at all?! I have no experience of Windows Mobile so I do apologies for the ignorance.
But no flash streaming? Very disappointing.
What about streaming from an rtsp:// or an mms:// ? From what Slashgear said, that's out of the question too.
Am I right or just interpreting their sentence incorreclty.
you interpreted wrong.
they were talking about no streaming within the browser, think desktop youtube site. you could use third party player that can pickup the links when you click on a rtsp: link or whatever and open up the player separate from the broswer and do the streaming that way.
There's actually a built-in application to play Streaming Media.

Apart from the Youtube video application, there's a separate one I take it? I'd rather watch some factual programming such as CNN or BBC News rather than fake videos of Sarah Palin on Saturday Night Live and dogs on skateboards !

Opera supports Flash and straming without a problem, it just isn't installed. Go to Adobe or other sites, get Flash Lite and there you got your streaming and youtube videos...

Just for information: As far is i saw last time, the latest Flash Lite is not realeased yet. So its not on Adobe yet, but it is on the net, so just search for flash lite on google and you will find a download link
On my laptop and desktop, I can find official music videos of songs quite easily, but on the youtube app on the HD2, it's very difficult, seems like the searches are filled more with chipmunk versions of the songs that I am searching for.
So what I'm testy about is that the youtube app on the hd2 seems to be filtered so that you can't easily find the good official music videos.
I'm sure it runs tip tops for most of the users and I'm sure this topic will get 100,000 views without a single reply, but I just felt like making it aware that the youtube app is crippled.
That is all.
Haven't used it much to look for music videos, so I'll take your word for it. But for what I've used it for, it's fine. I don't like that it doesn't open if someone sends a link to you on an email or text, wish they would fix that.

I feel you! That has happend to me a few times. If someone talks about a youtube video on twitter or something it is a pain in the ass to find unless I know the title literally word for word. Also..It does work really well if I am bored and just want to watch some videos. So It doesnt not suck that bad
It sucks for channels too. I have added several to mine, It does not sort channel videos by post date, I follow several that post a few a week and vlogs would prefer the most recent to be at the top, I cannot seem to figure out the sort pattern it is using, it just seems to randomly select videos from the channel.
When i got the HD2 i thought id shift alot of my youtube viewing to it and get away from the PC, however that youtube app makes for so much work to try and find a channel's most recent video posts that i almost never use the app.
Really all its good for is viewing the "most popular" or "newest" videos that come up on the very 1st screen of the app, or if you know of an EXACT title to search for
The youtube app in the marketplace seems to do a better job with sorting vids, but its a piece of crap to use on the HD2, video quality is horrible. I dont know why there are 2 different versions of the youtube app

Yeah, If you get a youtube url from an email or text, it should open up the youtube app, how hard can it be to set it up like that? It's the littlest things like this that add up.
Like for example, I just youtube'd on my laptop "Like a G6 Far East Movement" and got their official music video, I did the exact same thing right now on my HD2 using the youtube app and it said "No Videos Found".
Something is filtering the HD2's search queries.

Just answered my own question looking at the about info on the HD2 youtube app, its written by HTC, whereas the marketplace one i believe is written by youtube.
The HTC app is great for viewing if they could just get the searching and the sorting of channel videos straightened out
If I use Opera to search the phrases that find the videos on my laptop, it will find them just fine on youtube.com, but my Opera version has no flash and I don't like Internet Explorer on the HD2. Oh well, It works fine, just doesn't find the official music videos some times, does a damn good job at finding the chipmunk versions of the songs I search for.
I wonder if this is a youtube/copyright issue...Hmmmmm conspiracy!

I forget the name of the addon, but there is one that uses the IE browser's flash plugin in opera and it works decently well with youtube. I tried it for awhile, but hated that whatever the addon does it must change the browsers user agent string because the "my account" features no longer work because it cant detect it as a mobile browser.
The addon here here on XDA, some searching aught to find it. I dont have a URL handy
Of course when you remove the addon it does not seem to reset the browsers useragent string to the opera default one. I ended up having to hardreset my phone to get everything working as it was prior.
Youtube and Youtube Mobile are two very different things. Youtube Mobile uses streaming .3gp media, while regular Youtube is flash based.
When a video is uploaded to Youtube, it has to be converted to .3gp format in order for most mobile phones to play it. Obviously when your talking millions and millions of uploads some videos get passed over. Go to www.m.youtube.com in your desktop browser and search for something, you'll see the same results you get on mobile.
Solution: download Skyfire and use real Youtube: problem solved.
Hope this helps.

Judging by the video quality of the videos in the HTC youtube app, im pretty sure it is pulling the .mp4 video files from youtube. Youtube by default serves up the videos on their website in .flv and .mp4. If you use firefox install a plugin called "DownloadHelper" and you'll see the videos available. Each youtube video page has about 6-8 different .flv/.mp4 files linked to it of differing video qualities. When youtube is completely unstreamable in the evenings, ill use downloadhelper to queue up downloads of the .mp4 files of videos i want to watch, and then just sit and watch them all using media player classic from the klite mega codec pack once they all finish downloading. using the .mp4 files and media player classic also has the benefit of being less of a resource hog. flash video playback will peg my CPU at 100% the whole time. the .mp4/MPC combo usually stays under 50%
I think the official youtube app in the marketplace, and the youtube.com that pulls up in mobile browsers uses the .3gp format which looks like utter crap on our HD2s.
agree... it's slow sometimes...
It's been like this on just about every phone I've had. They should really look into making it better, it bothers me as well
App download
Try downloading the app called skyfire it is a browser that activates the adobe flash features & plays better movies

Yup thats it, like i said though it changes something, likely the browser's user agent string, so the t-mobile my account webpage will say that you need to use a mobile browser to access this site. basically i think they've changed the user agent string to emulate a desktop browser so sites like youtube will load the full real youtube site and not the mobile version by default.
I wish that addon would leave the user agent string alone, because its not much trouble to scroll down to the bottom of the youtube mobile site and choose to view the desktop version, which i believe it remembers until you clear your cookies anyways so you dont have to deal with it that often

Yeah it does change the user agent in the registry. I found a key in "HKLM/Opera/Prefs/User Prefs/Custom User-Agent" that contains the agent I picked in the fixOperaFlash app. I wonder if one could simply insert the original agent string back (or delete the custom key entirely) with the flash bits still working properly?
Edit: Confirmed, I nuked the above key entirely. Started opera and it had reverted to it's stock user agent. Went to youtube, scrolled to the bottom and clicked the desktop link, then plugged in a video that I know is not available on youtube mobile, worked great. Tmo MyAccount seems to work properly as well.
i just want it to run like it does on android,when i was using my g1 i would search for videos on the browser and all the videos would pop up just like on a computer that wouldnt pop up on the g1 youtube app,then i would click it and play it through the youtube app just fine and great quality. They should of made it like that and i remember someone on this forum told me there was a regedit that you could do to make it do that on this phone but i dont know if you have to flash a new rom or get it from this forum or not.

I have noticed that on the app videos don't appear at the same time as on the desktop version, they appear like 6 hours later...besides that everything looks good.
I cant seem to find a way to watch a youtube video and do other things on my tablet such as browse the web or open up another app. Ive tried the youtube app and the website but neither let me multitask and still play a video.
Is it possible to do so?

while multi tasking on android; android freezes the app in RAM till you return to it

That's the closest thing you are going to get.
Dolphin browser mini lets you have a flash app play in a background tab. Not when you switch apps though.
Maybe this app will help?

Thanks for the link to Ghosttown..that's a great app. Only one little niggle with it though....
because it takes the video from youtube, it doesn't distinguish between the album versions and the live versions....it won't filter...so when you choose an album...you could get all kinds of versions of a tune, not necessarily the proper one from the album chosen.
