Hello everyone,
Are there any ways to have videos play while the phone is in locked mode like the music player? Sometimes i can only listen to my videos at work and with the screen on, battery life can only last several hours. Any help please? Thank you!
anyone any ideas?
this might work.
A definite work-around is to convert the videos to .mp3s and play them via the HTC Music Player.
Not sure if you would like that, though....
that reminds me of a cab I have called youtube play. it has the ability to make mp3s of the youtube video as you download it. sucks as a youtube player, but this functionality makes it worthwhile.

Anyone else try the little youtube button in coreplayer? Any video I open says "Unknown file format." Why do they have a youtube player if it cannot play youtube videos?
I'm still looking for the best way to watch youtube videos.
Thanks!
But it can play youtube videos, at least on my phone.
Are you playing them through coreplayer itself? When I browse youtube through opera it opens the videos through the streaming video player, but not coreplayer.
I believe that some of the YouTube formats have stopped working in CorePlayer as YouTube have played about at their end.
Had heard that a fix had be built for UIQ, but haven't got around to looking to see if a new version is out for WinMo

Yes. I haven't watched that many videos (it's not a regular thing for me) but the few I've watched were all played by the coreplayer itself.
OT:
I do have some problems with podcasts. does anybody know of any good podcast client for WM.
Thanks, well I just bought it recently so will have to wait for an update I guess. Also, does anyone else experience freezes in coreplay when changing videos? It doesn't happen everytime for me, but sometimes it freezes and I have to do a reset.
I cant get any videos playing on my nexus one!! Sometimes they only play the audio and the video is a black screen! Youtube works fine but podcasts dont work! The myPod app (for podcasts) finds the podcasts fine, but when i click to watch the video of it, only the audio plays and a black screen. Same thing with a .m4v on my sdcard. Black screen with audio. Anyone else have videos working?
.m4v is apple protected file right?
I had this issue with downloading files from NPRs app. I was told to just change the file extension and it would work, but it did not for me. If you install doubletwist (in the market) I think this will solve your issue. I was just reading a review of the nexus from an iPhone guys perspective and he was gushing over the app and how it played ALL of his video files..

I have no experience with it (but I will tomorrow).
anyone else get videos to work?
why can the nexus one read the audio of mp4 podcasts but not the video, only displaying a black screen?
The podcats on Revision3 stream perfectly. m.revision3.com
Listening to music via the youtube app is great for some occasions. Except you cannot turn off screen/lock phone or via away from youtube with it playing in the background.
Is there a way this could be altered so it can be used as a multitask?
Thanks

Sorry mate, but there's no way to do this, and it makes perfect sense that there isn't. It's like asking to turn off the screen on your TV but still have audio.
You're just gonna have to accept that it's not a music player, it's a video player.
There's some great alternative music streamers or downloaders though, such as grooveshark or nanogroove.
Both are available on xda - just do a search and they shall be yours
On my LG tv I can turn off the screen and still have audio. Good if you want to have a nice relaxing film on for background noise before bedtime.
To be fair aside from the fact that it loads fast and looks sorta pretty the YouTube application is pretty damn rubbish. I wont go into detail here but Im sure most YouTube users will be fully aware of its many shortcomings as I am. I'd like to think htc will work on these before adding the functionality of allowing videos to run in the background.
incidentally if you DO want this functionality then it is available in Coreplayer. just set videos to play in the background and when you're streaming you can freely switch between apps and still hear audio.
I have been looking on youtube everywhere but nobody has demo the music player so i'm guessing its the same as on the Hero.Evo owners can u tell me if it is the same or post a pic of the music player?
its the same
get real player beta hands down the best
the stock player is pretty decent, but the best music player i have used is MixZing. read the reviews, it's awesome.
for video playback get mVideoPlayer
does Mvideo play any container?(or most containers?)

it is a thin wrapper around the android video playback architecture, so it will play what android normally plays. your best bet is h264+aac in an mp4 container with the proper settings (basically anything the iphone will play, without protection). it also adds some nice features the htc gallery app doesn't have, such as saving your spot in your videos, subtitle support, etc.
Cool thanks I was hoping for something that would let me play my files unconverted but with handbrake it's not much of a hassle to convert
It's pretty much the same as the Hero, but it seems to do steaming MP3s and whatnot now. Before with my Hero, it would have to download them, and then I would have to play them.
stock music i'm sure is the same.
there finally is a music player with an eq, but i don't remember where it is. i think the apk can be found in the nexus forums. seems to work okay.
right now, i'm kind of digging 'cubed' (actually named with a superscript 3 on the market, but if you search for cubed, you'll find it part way down the list). beautiful interface, and widget. i finally may have found an app worth donating to, lol
I like meridian .. have tried them all..
i don't have android phone... do any of the media players allow you to create playlists from the phone? that way i can dump all my music on my phone and organize it on the fly.

mVideoPlayer is great. cheers
Does anyone know of a way to tell the cubed player which folders to look for music in? It keeps pulling in game sounds from sniper vs sniper....
I buy Downloadable videos from Amazon pretty often and they are in wmv format. I already know It doesn't work with the video player, so I tried others like Rock player. But when I tried playing it, it shows me a mess of colors and no sound. Also I tried to Play another wmv file and got the video to play but got no sound. Does anyone know of a better video player replacement other than rock player that will play files like these with success? Or maybe even a way to get Amazon videos to play On android?
