Been getting the same thing, and trying to figure out why. I would love to know what the deal is. I was hoping to see how the plugin works with the wifi and all that.
As usual
Hello
I'm not an expert, but I can tell you that most of the important web sites, look for the users browser to render the site for them in the best way possible. When you go to google, maybe cnet, hotmail, en others, they recognize you as a mobile surfer, so they know they can't give you a 1024*768 website version. Instead, they give you acces to their "mobile version web site" with less width, graphics and texts.
Youtube has his services for mobile users in m.youtube.com, the videos are not flash videos like the full web site and you dont have full access to ALL the videos. They stream you videos instead.
By the way, it seems that My ATT8525 doesn't have the codecs because I couldn't watch any videos in youtube.
It's a registry key that determines whether or not you go to the wap versions of websites, connecting through wap.cingular.com or isp.cingular.com doesn't make a difference.
I found the key after a lot of searching, but I don't remember now which key it ultimately was. Also, I don't recommend changing it. Pocket IE was downright broken when trying to view the full versions of these websites after the key was changed.
Instead, I recommend hunting around for Picsel Browser, which is a far better solution for viewing fullsized webpages on a small screen. I'm pretty sure it was posted here somewhere so you can brush up on your searching skills and find it.
An even better browser for these things would be Thunderhawk. Thunderhawk is not free, but there is no question that it is the best.

Whats weird is now that I can go to the website, I can't use the FlashVideo Plugin for TCPMP to play videos off youtube. I had it working and now neither my treo or my 8525 work. Its so odd, anyone else have this?

would you need a holux bluetooth gps receiver to be effective? thank you!
Has anyone had any experience using this Video Player ?
VTAP is by far the best free option

This is by far the best web video solution out.
it searches all kinds of sites not just youtube
my only gripe is it fullscreens upside down on hermes.
I like it! Thanks.
Videos work great, and the Wikipedia is real nice.

Was wondering that myself. A bit silly. I just went into the Start Menu folder and deleted one of them. I think the smaller of the two. Still works fine.
I work for Veveo Inc. who provide the vTap service.
1. We are looking into the issue with the 2 icons in the programs folder. In the mean time, if you want to remove the vtap(1) icon, I have posted a process to remove it at this link: http://www.vtap.com/faq.html#rq11 .
2. We are looking into the upside down video on the Hermes phone. This has been seen now on a couple of HTC phones. I will post back when we have a solution for that problem.
Hi,
I have an issue with Vtap, it won't connect to the server, why??
It says "Server is temporary unavailable, please click 'retry' to try again.
It keeps saying that over and over again when I'm at home using WiFi. Interestingly, when I go to a hotspot location, it would work.
I have tried to reconfigure my router to put my phone in the DMZ to open all ports but it still won't work?
What is going on?
Btw, I'm living in Singapore, if it matters.
I really like vtap. I think its an awesome app and it pretty easy to use. Of course with T-mo US only being able to offer edge it kind of kills the overall experience for me. But I tried this with a WiFi connection and it works perfect with a high speed data connection.
Must say I haven't checked the wiki or the faq, but it is a real nice videoplayer for youtube etc.
aalvino keep it up

Hello All.. We have posted a new version of the vTap client. This version has a number of bug Fixes:
1 - Storage Card - Previously if you requested vTap to be installed on a storage card, it would still get installed into the main memory of the phone. This has been fixed, and vTap will now be installed onto the storage card.
2 - Double Icon - Previosly when installing vTap, there would be 2 icons created in the Programs folder. Now after installing, there should be only one icon.
3 - Proxy Issue - There was an issue when connecting through some proxies where you would not be able to play clips. An error would be reported indicating the resolved clip is empty. This issue has been resolved.
You can install the latest version of the vTap client by pointing the browser on your phone to www.vtap.com, and downloading the appropriate application.
Can it work with any site with videos?
I'm connected and able to download.....however, I only get the audio playback......no video. Instead, I'm getting a green screen with a bizarre purple stripe design....This is on 3G...

Hey aalvino,
I'm using an 8525 (Hermes 100) w/vp3G's WM6 v3.62 AT&T ROM. Not sure about the DirectDraw support. I'd like to add that I'm having the same issue with my WiFi connection as well........good audio, but the psychedelic color video...would've been cool back in the '60s.......

The easiest way to install vTap is to just open the Browser on your phone, and go to the site www.vtap.com. You will then be prompted to download the correct .cab file and the installation should start automatically.
There is any FREE program that I can receive TV stations, programs, videos, radio stations etc from all over the world, FAST and in high resulostion using my diamond???
Thanks!!!
Slingbox?
Give it a try.
slingbox is AWESOME! get slingbox HD for the diamond tho... its gunna run like 200 tho...
Look up Diamond TV. if its not here, it IS at ppcgeeks.com... there's like 215 stations to date... it WAS free but now its like 5 or 10 bucks... you can still get it for free if you can contribute to more channels or something likethat

Yes, but a one time fee... and it's worth every f...g cent. I was always looking to get TV on my baby, and now I got it, with HSPDA or Wifi an absolutely great image as well, with Edge reasonable image quality..... Swisscom TV has much poorerer image quality
Diamond Tv is a bit of a rip off. Nothing amazing really. Its just a load of bookmarks.
You can get all the channels for free here http://www.streams4pda.com/
Enjoy!
Try this, it's free...for the time being.
Works a little bit like sling.... stream your tv tuner on your pc trough your pda.

The guys of skyfire has released it. You dont have to register for the free beta.
Skyfire v0.85 The best internet browser
Description:
Skyfire brings the PC internet experience to your mobile. Watch videos on YouTube or Hulu, connect with your friends on Myspace or Facebook, shop on Amazon, or listen to music. If you can experience it on your computer, you now can do it with Skyfire on the go. Skyfire is fast, easy to use and available for free for many smart phone models.
What is Skyfire?
Skyfire is a free, downloadable mobile web browser that allows you to experience the internet on your phone exactly like on your PC. Now, you can use the full web from your mobile phone with unprecedented speed and simplicity – without the typical restrictions and limitations that current ‘mobile web’ efforts offer. It’s “The Web”, not some mobile web.
A brand new browsing experience.
Mobile browsing exactly like your PC.
With Skyfire on your phone you can for the first time ever shop, watch web video, listen to web music and stay connected on your social network -- just as you would on your PC. We're talking about full-featured PC versions of your favorite websites. Skyfire gives you speedy page loads, full audio, images and video. From Myspace, Facebook, YouTube to Hulu - it's the full web experienced on your phone.
The real web, served-up right.
Unlike other mobile browsers, Skyfire supports the desktop version of Adobe Flash applications so sites, including those that serve-up video and music, are rendered exactly as you would expect - just like your PC. You will instantly recognize the content, be familiar with the page layout -- which is not true for most mobile browsing experiences. We support all that's good about today's web - not just Flash, but also Silverlight, Ajax, QuickTime and more. And even better: Skyfire evolves with the newest capabilities without you having to do anything.
Go anywhere, see anything.
Not only do we deliver video and audio, we also deliver everything else you routinely do on the web. Get maps, check sport scores, view weather forecasts, read the news, check flights, and stay active on your favorite social networks. From the Top 10 of websites all the way down to the obscurest of pages - you'll do it all from your mobile phone just like you do on your PC.
Blazing fast.
Skyfire is faster than any mobile web browser you've ever used. You'll load web pages as fast as your PC and eliminate the long delays and error messages you get with other mobile browsers. Don't take our word for it, check out this bake-off by Laptop Magazine and see how we handily outclassed the iPhone 3G.
Easy to use.
It's easy to experience the PC web on your phone with Skyfire's clickable content and intuitive navigation. We know it's a small screen and that's why we made navigating intuitive with full screen, thumbnails and adaptable zooming modes. You simply and quickly get to exactly where you want to be on a page - navigating at speeds that make the experience enjoyable.
Quick content and simple search.
All the places you routinely visit are a click away. We have handy links to popular websites on the start page. Your bookmarks and your browsing history is just a click away. Better yet, you can even bookmark your specific view (zoom level, position) of content on a web page to get exactly to the right place in one click.
We made search simple. Use our nifty SuperBar to perform a search or enter a URL from a single field. We even suggest the most commonly used search keywords as you type. Plus the search results are from Google and Yahoo and are presented in easy to read tabs for each category: web, images, and videos, and maps. Simple and it's all a click away.
Plenty of handy features.
We're always adding new features as we roll out our beta releases. Recently, we made it easy to share and easy to find mobile sites.
Discover something on the web that you want to share? Now you can send it to your friends from Skyfire via a text message. We even shorten the URL to easily fit into a single SMS text message with room to spare for your own words.
Don't like the big web page on your small screen? Want to go to the mobile site instead? If we find a mobile version of the same site, Skyfire lets you know - then you decide if you want the mobile or full website. Simply look for a 'Mobile Version' link at the top left of a page. Skyfire even renders iPhone specific web sites nicely.
On the phone you own - and free!
You can load Skyfire on your existing Windows Mobile (version 5 or 6) or newer Symbian Series 60 phones in a few steps. In a matter of minutes, you can install it either over the air or via your PC. It's free - what more can we say. No need to buy an expensive new phone and get locked into a new contract just because you want a better mobile internet experience.

you are right champ but here is so many software that should not been here and a first "free" skyfire beta is really interesting.
I installed the cab but skyfire finds no connection ? It starts searching and runnes hsdpa on my polaris but i only see "connecting..." but nothing happens. Is this still limited for US citizens ? or only for wwe ROMs ?

Shouldn't be limited to the US, Skyfire's page gives the option for users outside the US and doesn't require the login anymore.
EDIT: Looks like they only have US, Canada, & UK listed for avail countries. Not bad though, ESPN loaded in under 5 sec, video playback is decent, but I still hate the UI.
0.8.5 does not work for me, in France... go back to v0.8.0.
Phone : Trinity
i begin to hate this skyfire idiots. why does a application ony run in three countries !

It's likely to do with regions. I tried accessing www.hulu.com from it, knowing that it won't work on a desktop browser as I'm in the UK, and guess what? Doesn't work as it knows I'm in the UK.. As all pages are pre-rendered on the Skyfire servers, that means that I'm being served by a Skyfire server in the UK. If I were being served by a US server, Hulu would have worked.
:bah
no wvga support
Skyfire works great here in Canada!
Got to get used to the browser but, overall, it's decent.
Well, it's a good FREE alternative to PIE.... no tough to beat
Im from Mexico and Skyfire works very well on wifi
I have a Blueangel
Skyfire is good. I have tried the previous version which didn't support surfing via-proxy setting. Has this version fix that?
correct me if I'm wrong..but this has been out for at least a month hasn't it? I've been using it for at least a month
last version doesn't work!
ok it installs loads then dont work just ses locating and nothing happens this is over wifi and it works as im posting this via opera any ideas?

No, because some of the Opera builds have been redeveloped by users here, not to mention the work it takes to obtain the builds. Skyfire is a free app for anyone to download. Big difference, pay attention before you decide to argue with my point.
Thanks daniel2020,
Now I can use Skyfire in my country, as I can't download it in the official website!!!!
It is working here, but there are a few considerations: it is not real VGA, Opera is, opera is more zoom friendly.
Does anyone know of a free mobitv-like program?
not free: spbtv
free: skyfire + tv site with live stream
mobitv
PocketStreamer is one I can think of.
I would have said Skyfire and Hulu.com up until last month. Now, for some reason, Hulu has blocked access via Skyfire.
Does anyone know why?
I use Myplayer http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=501131 in the uk and it works great.
Has any on ATT managed to get Mobitv to work on the Tilt2?

Hulu likes to keep their crap proprietary. Skyfire came out and stated the reasoning here:
http://www.skyfire.com/blog/2009/09/11/a-note-about-hulu-on-skyfire/
With Hulu blocking now, I've just about given up on mobile tv. I've tried just about everything, and really results are usually the same. There is no good US programming online.
A couple months ago watching Family Guy or a decent 10 year old movie online was nice. Now.... watching the weather forecast for Latvia or an Indian music video channel has left me sad=(
If I'm missing something, speak up please!

Follow the link in that response to the actual reply someone got from Huluu on the subject. It's amusing.
Their excuse is complete BS. There is no difference as a medium from watching Hulu on a phone vs. PC, since Skyfire provides a "desktop" mobile surfing experience anyways.
Perhaps the real reason is they feared apps like Mplayer that pulled their content without showing their full page, which I could see losing them some ad revenue. Still, it was only limited content to begin with. Their response if that's the case is a touch heavy-handed.
EDIT: Actually, since most of the networks charge for a mobile app to stream their content..... I guess it does make sense why Hulu was pressured to shut it down.
