I'm new to Windows Mobile and just got the HD2 on T-Mobile US.
On my iPhone I was able to click a youtube link in an email or webpage and it opened the youtube app and played the video.
How do I do this in Windows mobile?
I even tried copying the link and then opening the youtube app and pasting it there...didn't work.
I haven't been able to view any video links yet.
Also, I can't seem to figure out how to sign-out of Google Talk.
In the HELP menu it says to select EXIT to sign out. I don't have an option to select EXIT anywhere.
Thanks,
Joe
i haven't been able to figure that out myself , but there is a way.
download skyline browser and make that your default web browser. skyline has the flash you need in order to view YouTube links.
Or you can install fixoperaflash from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=544770
Works fine for me.
@rickyoon do you mean skyfire ??
and i haven't had to do the fix opera flash i just installed opera ten enable plugins and i can watch youtube in my browser

Hi
I cant get video`s to work on video google, they dont show up when the page loads, plus i hit the download button and theres no response, also when i go to play an internet flash game, the message comes up "PLEASE NOTE : To view this page properly, please enable Javascript and update your flash player.
Now as far as i know i have the latest flash player, so where do i enable javascript, didnt find it anywhere in IE options? I jsut assumed this sort of stuff would just work onm WM5..
Thanks

since i am facing the same problem 1,5 year later is there a solution to view streaming viedeos using either a newer macromedia version (i read something aboute flash lite 3) or something else using the internet explorer?
i did try to go to m.youtube.com and didnt manage to view any videos there also.
The only solution i have so far is to use the vtap program but i can't seem to view a small photo of the video before downloading it and also i cant fast farward it when it plays. This is why i am asking if there is a solution like for streaming videos from the S200. All i want is to view the videos like i view them from my pc . is ti so dificult?
(ps i am still on wm5)
thx in advance for any answer
nada????
oh well
it wasn/t so dificult after all.......
It just needed a lot of searching....
YOUTUBE is possible on pocket IE after all (and on WM5)
here is the solution (if there is anybody like me who didnt know it allready)

for youtube i just go to
http://ytpocket.com/
it emulates the youtube website and making it streaming with tcpmp. all the instructions are there as well the plugins needed are within the website.
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.
If browsing a random website, Why do embedded YouTube videos show up blank in Opera? Is there a way to make the video at least show the screenshot in Opera and when clicked, open up in the default HD2 player?
You'll need to wait for flash to be available for the HD2 or you could try one of the flashlite's which can work.
Also under one of the development & hacking threads there is a flashfix program which may or may not work for you.
Well I'm not really that interested in Flash working right now. My problem is why won't the embedded youtube video link even show up in Opera. I would be fine if it would show up, we could then click it and it should open up in the default media player...
Hi,
First off, I have done my research! I promised... looked through the posts (Wiki page/Tips & Tricks..) and can't seems to find anything pertaining to this.
What I'd like to know is:
- Is there a way to view YouTube video embedded in a webpage (Web Browsing using Opera Browser that comes with my HD2) by using the inbuilt HTC YouTube app - Eg. tap on the YouTube video on a webpage, HTC YouTube app starting automatically to play the video.
Thanks in advance!
Douglas
Ps. HD2 ROCKS!!!
Hi
As far as i Know (my HD2 is on its way and my HD on Ebay ) the opera doesn't have a flash support yet but the IE mobile browser on HD2 does have flash embedded which means that you get a flash player startet by tapping on your video
I've seen that also on a review on youtube....
Cheers,
LEE
Thanks for your prompt reply.
I'm really want this to work in Opera browser... I suppose such is life...
works perfectly in Opera 10 Beta 2...click the video and it opens in the streaming player.

Hi... Did u have to install anything other than Opera 10 B2? As I'd just tried it out, and YouTube content on the webpage just shows a place holder with text showing "Plug In Content"... Did I do something wrong..?
As far as I'm aware, the only browser which allows this is Skyfire. I use that for video and Opera for all other browsing (as Skyfire is a bit pants really).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=544770
Check out that thread. If you follow all the steps, you can also watch youtube and other flash sites in Opera.
It's also possible with IE and Skyfire.
I would prefer when browsing youtube, that it would open the youtube application, which gives better quality and speed.
The only way I've found for the youtube app to work is to stream from m.youtube.com with opera.
That's the only way I've got it to work its not the best as I hate the layout of mobile youtube but it works, like you, the youtube site on opera doesn't show any clickable links or videos for the hd2's youtube client to work with.
Well yes, I meant on m.YouTube.com, and other mobile sites. On a mobile after all.

And with Opera 10 final?
Tks!
youtube works on Opera 10 without need for m,
Are you sure?
My Opera Mobile 10 doesn't stream youtube, mobile or desktop version.
Having a look to Opera's and other forums, it can't stream youtube...
Mine does, search around this forum for /TX Opera Mobile10 With Flash /in the settings enable Plugins.
but it does stream youtube through the streaming media player instead of the youtube player and the quality is quite decreased....
If it streams via any external player it's ok for me, it is important that it doesn't play in browser, because quality is worst...
It's exactly what I'm searching for, mine actually plays in browser or doesn't play, so, how to make it play in streaming player or youtube or core player?
The latest version of Opera will stream youtube video and depending upon your connection it is either good or bad.......
Are you sure?
My Opera Mobile streams no video...
As title, whenever i open a youtube link in facebook it will not give me the option to open with the youtube app, just my browsers firefox, dolphin, interent.
I've updated youtube to latest version.
Anyone else have this issue? fix?

I have mine show Chrome, Internet and Youtube, just fine. Maybe try uninstalling Firefox and Dolphin? Are you sure the links you are clicking are properly formatted youtube links? Sometimes strange or forwarded links are not recognized.
Maybe you have too many apps that can play the video and need to scroll down the list since its sorted alphabetically
Go into application manager and clear default on each one

I have the same issue! I have tube mate and it gives me the option to open with that and the browsers I have installed, but not YouTube! And I have no defaults on any of the apps offered or YouTube. Its weird why it won't give me the option! But I did find that if I open it in Firefox, when I click play in the browser, it gives me the option to open in YouTube. A long way to get there!
