Video Player on HD2 - HD2 General

Whenever I download & view an online youtube video I'm not sure what player is being used? After selecting a video to watch I'm then presented with a screen that gives me 3 options. These are: Open, Save & Cancel.
I always select open, I then have to wait maybe 2 or 3 mins until the video downloads. Then a player opens up and I'm able to watch the video. After watching the video I then select an icon in the bottom right hand corner of the screen which gives me the options to either Delete or Remove All Finished. I always select delete. Although this has implications mentioned in another of my threads regarding storing these video files in a folder on the phone (see other thread).
The player that the phone is using I know is not Windows Media Player. But what is it? On my old Omnia i900 after selecting a video to watch, Media Player immediately opened up and began buffering the video. After probably 10 seconds at the most I was then able to watch the video. I didn't have to wait 2 or 3 minutes to actually download the file.
Any help on this would be much appreciated.

Anyone please?

Any help would be so appreciated. Thx.

Video streaming with WM6 on BA

I can't stream none of the video from youtube via htc streaming media.
Is there a fix for this? May be i installed one of the cert files wrong?
And what other sites does htc streaming media work on. I wish to test it
Hello –
What videos are you trying to stream?
I am one of the developer who worked on Avot mV which runs on most of Windows mobile 5.0 and newer phone with the idea of searching and playing any video from video sharing sites like YouTube, Google Videos, DailyMotion and other web locations.
Since you’re interested in streaming videos, you might want to download this application and provide the feedback to improve the product.
You can download the application by pointing the mobile browser to http://avotmv.com
Your program is very brilliant and its very efficient in some ways but needs work done for more control of its options.
Downloaded files should store on Card
I think its best for the program to download its video content onto the memory card instead of the internet explorer cache. I was wondering why my phone was becomng so slow and i kept getting these prompts about memory usage. I was looking in the folders for stuff to delete so that the phone wont be slowing down anymore, its was only till i realise it would have to be in the cache. A average user wouldn't have thought of this!
Stop & pause don't respond immediately while playing
I was trying to stop a video from streaming and it wasn't stopping, it took about 10 seconds to respond. I only had avotmv and PIE running.
Playing videos directly from youtube and other sites
It takes a while for the page to load on youtube and it never played. One time i heard the audio playing when i was using dailymotion.com but i never saw the video.
Suggestion: List the respective channels by their website name
I wish there was an option to list the respective channels by there respective name in the channels list. User would like to search by youtube alone instead of every video site. That option would be great for just searching one video site alone.
Its a gem in beta so far, if you wish me to keep working with you on feedback please leave a link to your forum and i'll appreicate it if you offer me a free copy of the software

Video not shown in HTC album

Hi,
I had a mp4 video encoded at 800*480 resolutions.
When i go to file manager and access the file directly it plays normally on the HTC album software itself, but when i navigate to HTC album is is nowhere to be found.
Can anybody tell me how i could make my video show on the HTC album itself so I can access it on HTC sense.
Thanks

Either put the video in one of the folders Album recognises (Videos, Pictures) or launch Album and press the Albums soft key to select the folder where the video is. I have several mp4 videos and they all show up.

I tried this but it doesn't work. It briefly shows "wrong" sign in an empty square when i select the video folder, then nothing at all ???
Any idea ?
I'm having an issue with HTC Album whereby recording videos works fine and their thumbnails are created but selecting the videos within HTC Album doesnt play them. Pictures can be viewed fine but not videos. Tried a soft reset which still doesnt do anything. Tried a hard reset which cured the problem then after a short while HTC Album refused to play the videos it created again only allowing me to tap on the video and then it just sits there not doing anything. Any help much appreciated.
I have same issue's. video's taken bij the camera no problem. Copied video's 800x480 for example the helicopter video, won't appear. others do!
Only MP4 & 3GP (H.264 AVC) videos encoded with the Baseline profile (using x264) will show up. H.264 videos encoded with the Main or High profile will briefly show up with an error and disappear when opening the Album or the folder they're in.
The Album can still play them though.
Or at least, that's what it does on my device. Camera videos are encoded using H.264 Baseline and AAC. Would like more input for that.
To fix, either open them manually (Use a file explorer, look for your video, open it with HTC Album (\Windows\HTCAlbum.exe)) or reencode your videos using the Baseline profile.

I'm not actually converting any types of videos for playback on HTC Album. The videos I'm referring to are the ones recorded by the HD2 camera itself and by default show up within HTC Album but refuse to play even though their thumbnails are present and visible.
I have the same problem as you are describing and wondered how I caused it. I have installed Core player and all the videos taken with the HD2 play without any problem.
I have changed some of the links in the program folder to suite my own preference but none of the links were broken. When I open a video via HTCAlbums, the screen goes landscape with a "loading" message showing, it also plays what just sounds like static.
Not sure what I might have loaded that is causing the problem, a couple of programs are "Change screen" and "hComber". I don't want to hard reset so I'll start by uninstalling these programs unless someone stumbles on to a fix??
Same here, records but does not play back. Has anyone found a fix.
Cheers
Same issue here. HD2 from T-Mobile Germany. This is ridiculous & very annoying.

I had this issue it was caused by the YouTube app I had installed, don't know if there is a fix.
Video playback not working
Did you ever fix your video problem?
I have same.
I can't play back video taken on my Fuze ever since I loaded a WinMo 6.5 ROM.

I am haveing the same problem,brand new htc wont play the videos i record at all any one found a fix.. really like everything else about the phone dont want to send it back becuase of this....
I also have this problem (or a very similar one). I can see the video files in HTC album, but pressing on it does nothing.
If anyone knows the cause or solution I would be very grateful.
Same here......I just returned from a week skiing in Italy, where I shot some videos of a nice girl dancing on the table outside at -5 degrees celsius wearing a mini skirt and a mini t-shirt
We were all packed in multiple layers of clothes and skiing outfits and we weren't really warm.
She must have had lots of 'schnapps', cause she didn't seem to be bothered with the cold
Anyway, I shot 3 videos, the first 2 display fine, but the 3rd just says 'Loading' and then nothing happens anymore.
1st video is 10.6 Mb
2nd video is 4.5 Mb
3rd video is 12.6 Mb (this is the one that doesn't play)
It doesn't matter if I play the video from Photos and Videos using the slider, or from Albums frm the Start Menu, or from File Explorer.
Then I hooked up my HD2 to my PC, and copied the 3rd video to the PC where it plays fine in Quicktime. However, I've noticed that the first 32 seconds of the video has NO sound. Sound pops up after 33 seconds, so maybe that's what's causing these issues in HTC Album ??? Or maybe that the recorded size is a factor ???
Same annoying problem here!!!
Don't know what caused it because it was working fine before, maybe some program or tweak I installed...
Thumbnails of my videos show on the album and Sense but when I click on them nothing happens, the videos worked fine before and I can still view them on CorePlayer.
¿Any ideas?
I had this problem when i installed the You Tube cab. I uninstalled it and HTC Album and video worked fine
When you talk about the youtube app you mean the HTC youtube app or the Original Youtube app for windows mobile? the one you can download from the mobile youtube web
I can confirm that at least in my case it was the HTC youtube app that was causing the problem, it seems I have to choose between youtube or being able to watch my videos!

Why do embedded YouTube videos show blank in Opera?

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...

Facebook video problem

I'm having trouble with Facebook video. Usually tapping on videos it will play the videos but now when I tap on the video there's nothing happening as if I didn't touch the screen. On images it works when I tap the images. Only videos I can't tap on it. Anyone else have this kind of problem?
Any help please? I've tried uninstall and install back it's still the same... I'm on stock unrooted
I sit with the same issue. There is a setting in fb that allow video to play directly, depending if you are on wifi or not. Mine is set to play video on wifi driect, but sometimes the videos don't play when scrolling down through the feeds. . When clicking on the video it still doesn't play sometimes. What I did and it works every time, when clicking on the video it opens the video and nothing happens. On the right hand top of the video there is 2 arrows pointing up and down or at an angle away from each other. That is to maximize the video. Maximize the video and it will begin to play.
