I've just put a few videos onto my missus's Legend, but I can only play then via 2 methods.. 1... download Astro (or similar!) and find the video in here.. or 2. open the photo viewer and scroll through all the thumnails until I find the one I'm looking for...
Is there a way to create a shortcut to the video player on the home screen? or will I need to download a standalone video player?!

Hi there, I was wondering if the phone can play video clips on the browser?
For example, if i go on youtube the video does not play, it says i need flash player or enable java? I downloaded flash player 6 and installed it on my phone and did a soft reset and videos still do not play!
Is there any way in which i can get videos to play of my phone?
Thanks.
www.tinytube.net
Is the only option via tinytube to view videos to download the files vs. streaming? If I choose the stream option my media player says "RTSP protocol not supported!" I can download and view videos, but would sure like the steaming option.
With this site, you put in the address of the youtube video you want then it generates a .flv file which you can rename and save to your memory card on your phone (any site that uses this format will work). Then you can use TCPMP to view it directly, flv files are really small and this method works great.
I got Tool Sober as my first try and it looks good.

Why not use the Flashvideo bundle along with TCPMP to play videos?
This is integrated into PIE after you install the software and you can view and save videos with out using another website.
does this work for non youtube flv files too?

This is for rapid download and save, through a PC, ultimately so you can have them in a folder for offline viewing. Flashvideo is great for watching when you have a data connection, but there are times I don't want to fool with it, like at the gym on the treadmill.
I like to have music videos playing in my car through my stereo and this is the best method that I can think of for downloading them in batches to my phone for later viewing.
METHOD #2: Open youtube or any other site with the .flv ending and allow it to buffer fully. Then go into your temp file and resave that file what you want with a .flv ending. Save that to your storage card and boom, music videos on the go (without a data connection of course).
Hi, i know the touch diamond has a you tube application, but does it allow you actually download the videos and watch it later without any connections. or is there any other application that will allow me to download youtube videos??
Thanks !
Well I know you can paste the youtube url of the video on a site like keepvid.com and it lets u dl the file in mp4 format, and use the built in video player to play it smoothest
No, the YouTube application does not allow one to save the videos to the device, though I can say it is a great little application. They seem to have kept it rather basic, yet done a great job with it.
You have access to what I believe is all the videos from YouTube, so not like with the iPhone where you had videos compressed and put into a format suitable for iPhone.
With the YouTube application, you can Bookmark your favourite videos, search videos, see lists of top rated, featured and most popular videos, you can send someone links to the videos by email (not really looked at that feature) and there is the setting where you can have it on fast download or higher quality streaming and then there is auto which I think is based upon your internet connection speed.
To watch the videos, there is no better application out there that I am aware of. I also use CorePlayer occasionally too.
As the previous poster mentioned, you can access YouTube through your web browser, take the URL, copy and paste it in at Keepvid.com and then save the file to your device that way.

I installed this, entered the filename and clicked on the DOWNLOAD button - nothing happened.
Any ideas?
Hi All,
Wonder if you can help - When I browse to youtube it defaults to the mobile view, which is fine - When I select the video I want to watch it opens up the stream in the "streaming media" application. It seems to buffer correctly but when playing back, the video quality is terrible, very jumpy, very blocky and the sound isnt too great either.
Is there anyway to solve this? I have tried installing the flash cab and viewing the videos normally on the youtube page, but it doesnt display the youtube vids. I have also tried to install the HTC youtube app, but it breaks my video playback - It works if I install the full htc hd manilla cab but then my phone really lags in file explorer when viewing the windows directories etc..
Is there something I am doing wrong?

Try CorePlayer, the quality is much better, but the app is not free.
is there a way to use that video player as the default player for videos?
If I recall, associate your video files to the HTC_VideoPlayer.exe
How would i go about that

yes, how would you do this? I prefer the HTC Video player over the 3rd party solutions but I can't find a good gui to access the videos aside from the ugly File Explorer
Total Commander perhaps?
The pictures and videos tab
Go to the pictures and videos tab.
Go to albums lower left.
Go to albums again on lower left and this wilol bring up a list of all of your pics and videos on both device and storage card.
Click the one you wish to play and from there it will use the HTC player by default.
Ugly route, but it works.
