Ok Folks, I have an issue..

I am going to m.youtube.com .. when I select a video it opens realplayer and says 'failed to connect' .. ?? anyone know how I can fix this?
EDIT: When I open m.youtube.com using Opera and select a movie to play REalplayer says 'media file type not supported' ??

Try using TCPMP or Coreplayer and see if that works??
I havent managed to get this working yet since tmobile are tight...my next paycycle will get me onto the higher tarriff which allows IM and streaming.
EDIT:: ok i just tested it using wifi on my TyTN...when you select the video it opens 'streaming media' automatically and works no problem....most likely a problem with either:
a) your ROM....are you running a new WM6 ROM (LVSWs latest, Elf v2.1, custel ultimate...black shadow or schaps 3.30c??)
or
b) your provider, they might be blocking streaming content???

I have TCPMP .. How do I make it open that instead of Real PLayer? .. I'm not downloading the movies, I am trying to stream them, I dont know how to download them.

Go back to your Wizard and download TNT 2.0 Plays youtube fine

Sorry I didnt read ur edit.. I am using WIFI .. and I am running the Shipped Cingular ROM .. since Cingular told me yesterday that the update will be available mid to late july...

'Streaming media' in WM6 will do the job no problem...id recommend going for a cooked WM6 ROM dude....come on you still use a carrier ROM?!?!?!

I was using Black Shadow as of yesterday.. then I switched back to official ROM when cingular told me the update will be available in July... cuz I wanted to try out my push to talk .. .. Which ROM allows streaming media? .. <I downloaded flash player and regular Youtube plays videos but it is SOOOOO choppy on Wifi.. lol.. yes.. I'm cheap.. Laid off so I canceled my PDA connect..>

I believe you can use PTT with a non-cingular rom. Since you have a cingular rom atm just save off the EXT-ROM to your PC and flash a WM6 rom then copy back the MT_PC_Hermes_PTT_REG_070129.cab and execute it.

ALL the latest cooked ROMs have streaming media in them......when you go into the particular page just click on 'Watch Video' and streaming media connects automatically.

I seem to have a problem which is like the one you saw. Youtube works completely fine using wifi. But as soon as I try it with my providers connection (o2 germany) it just keeps saying network not found although im connected using HSDPA.
Anyone got an idea what coule help here?

Youtube movies?

Is it possible to get Youtube movies working on the BA (running WM6), and if so, what player do I need?
The TCPMP player gives me a "RTSP protocol not supported" error when trying to look at a Youtube movie :/

hi there!
there is some kind of plugin/addon, which allows you to download youtube movies to your pda....
just search this forum or google for it, here is ONE source!
hope that helps....
regards,
krz

I have that tcpmp plugin, and it does work most of the time. I've run into some files on youtube that still give me an unknown media format error. Not sure why.
The Avot Media Viewer that someone posted about here a week or so ago works great though.
http://www.avotmedia.com/
http://m.avotmedia.com/

The Avot is OK but it needs much work to be more than OK.
I use the vTap.
http://veveo.net/
Use the search bar to browse uploaded videos from any embedded video website (like youtube, metacafe etc).
You can also have a feature of searching into wikipedia articles!
Very cool...

After doing a bit more digging, I installed Streaming Media v 2.10 build 518.700 (from High Tech Computer Corp.) on it.
It's working GREAT!

hi everyone!
well, i installed the HTC STREAMING cab, which was included in xplode's cabs. i dont know, what version this actualy is...
anyway, i can playback youtube movies, but the performance sucks big time.... lots of stuttering, not enjoyable at all.... is it just me experiencing this problem?
is the BA oo slow to playback such vids?
or am i doing something wrong here?
thx in advance,
krz

you should check your internet connection too...

me again!
have to add, that i now have the FLASHVIDEOBUNDLE.cab installed, which not only gives me great streaming playback using TCMP Player (make sure u have installed the right version first!), but in addition to that gives me the oppotunity to save the flash videos to your storage right away....
VERY COOL CAB!!! KUDOS 4 THE (true) CREATORS!
btw: that STREAMING thing that came with xplode's cabs still doesnt work... (my internet connection is of course up and running!!)
cheers,krz

okay, after playing around a little bit and after installing/deinstalling/reinstalling HTC STREAMING Software, i am afraid i screwed up flv playback completely...
every time i try to load a youtube site,pocketIE crashes and my device freezes, leaving me with soft reset as only solution!
i tried to play back flvs on the youtube mobile site as well, with no sucess. nothing happens! the vids just dont load....

ARGH!!!!!
keeps crashing and crashing.... (pocketIE keeps loading, the suddenly freezes!)
when trying to play mobile youtube in pocketIE, nothing happens.... (just loads 0kb, then stops...)
can anyone load youtube.com without any problems?
can anyone play back youtube.com movies without problems?
HOW?
sorry for whining around here, but this really makes me go N U T Z

I read thru that post as well and as I wrote, I cannot play back m.youtube.com videos eitehr, it just sttarts loading and stops immediatly at 0KB again, thats it.
what streaming client do you have installed?
the one, that came with xplode's cabs?
or that one: RvBCrS_HTC_Streaming_Media.rar?

the easy and fast way, install my streaming media cab open m.youtube.com and it will stream with the player just fine, tested and working

thx, xplode! i actually did that. first time, i could not start the application, because of some error. i reinstalled the SDKCerts again and after that the error was gone, but no application starting either.... i really tried various times, what am i missing?

well did you installed audio manager also ?, inside the cab there is verinfou.dl which is needed for most of the HTC software, but if you install them both it will work

Online Movie Streaming.

Ive used search and aint find anything that had to do with this topic. If this topic has been created already please guide me to the right place. Im fully aware that flash player beta is coming out next month. And im also aware that there's an app called LukLuk in the market that does this. Now here is my question. LukLuk dont seem to work for me it keeps force closing everytime i try and load up the movie list. Im wondering if there are any sites out there to where you can stream movies from? Converting movies into mp4 format and then loading it up to our SD card takes to long. And even when we do get flash player, what sites will we be using to stream movies from? so what sites do you guys use? i have a rooted phone and also aware that the HERO ROM already comes with a flash player, but im not using hero because its very laggy. so brings me back to the same question... what sites can i go to, to stream movies from online? Thank you to anyone who will help me.

I dont know of any movie sites that'll work on the g1...believe me, i've searched...but there is an app called jetflicks that streams tv shows...only it's kinda expensive and it'll be a subscription service by October...there's also a program called doubletwist that'll easily convert any movies you might have on your pc to a format that's viewable on the g1...the good thing about this program other than it's free, is that it automatically detects whatever mobile device you have, no messing around with settings or whatever...hope i helped a little bit...but hey, if you do find a movie website compatible with the g1, hook me up, will you?

I dont think their are any that are worthwhile now.

What's included in this build?
I'm pleased to announce that this newer build is much, much better than the old beta I had made before (and that had been understandably ignored by pretty much everyone) here's what works:
-Flash Player. Yay!!!!. A build under 87 MB (original build, 89 MB with rev1) with full flash support, both in the browser and as streaming video. It's a resoruce hog, though, so use with care (you can disable plugins in the browser settings to deal with this)

Are you sure. from what im reading i was led to believe browser video works

Good luck finding a site, as soon as one gets popular it's host will shut it down or they'll recieve a C&D. If you do find one don't expect it to stick around for longer than a month. Just use Handbrake or Media Coder to convert your videos.

I wouldn't get cocky if you don't know what you're talking about ;-) ...I've seen videos of Hero's playing youtube videos, and surely Hero's would use the same version of flash as those in our builds...

I Will be sure to hook you up when i come across one. I Downloaded JetFlicks, Its a pretty cool app. 14 bucks aint really that expensive. But its pretty cool a good time killer while im at work. i remember when i had the T-Mobile Dash, there was so many sites that streamed movies. now i own a G1 and there's no sites at all. lol im really thinking about buying the Touch Pro 2. its a beautiful phone. I tested it out for a full 24hr's and returned it the next day because i realized how much i hated WinMO lol. but im really thinking about going back to it. lol

Just like others said don't get to cocky. Not all videos are in flash 10.

I know back before we even had cupcake I was able to go to nbc.com and watch tv shows.

some people have had success with orb but most can't get it to stream over 3g/edge.
I'm going to try tonight to see what I can get. If I can get it streaming video I'm buying a tv turner for the computer. It would be nice if I could just stream the videos I already have on my pc though.

I've also read that gmote could do it as well, I just wanted to try orb first because I already had it installed on my computer at home. I didn't have a lot of time to play with it so I had the same results as most people. Could stream via wifi with no issues, but wouldn't work over 3G. Hopefully this weekend I can play with forwarding some ports on my router or try gmote and get one of them to work.

I don't know about the OP, but i'm looking for an app that will allow me to stream video from my computer.
That being said I tried LukLuk out and it looks like it could be a great time waster but it keeps force closing on me as soon as I try to login. I can use Trial, but that only gets you trailers.

dont bother with orb you have to be in front of your computer to set up a stream and when it stops you have to start it from your pc again

Tried out gmote last night... and it can stream from your computer, but only jpeg, mp3, mp4, and some others... Can't do divx, or avi.. so not what I am looking for...

This was my experience as well - although Orb worked very well, it would occasionally stop on the PC end. I used LogMeIn to remote desktop into my pc from my HTC Mogul to restart it, but I got sick of doing this and decided not to use Orb when I switched to my HTC Touch Pro.

[Q] Flash player

Hi everybody,
Has anyone try to view flash video on the streak; has anyone issues with it and how did you resolve this? I am on a site which is broadcasting flash videos; my streak is charging them but nothing happens, any ideas? How can I resolve it? Do I have to download something? (I am running the official dell froyo update)
Thanks for answering

It SHOULD play the vids. I've tried iplayer on Wifi and it worked really well indeed (I'm using Steve's custom 2.2 build 1.4.1)
....thinks....ooh yeah - have you downloaded the flash 10.1 player from the market?

Adobe flash player
Yes I did but on some sites it's charging without playing...

hmm. any sites in particular? I'll try them on mine and see what happens (assuming they're respectable of course... )

Its a belgian news site : "rtl info.be"; the video's are charging but not playing.

well I've had a quick look and it's certainly downloading the vids BUT at work I just don't have a fast enough connection - a couple of bars of Edge is the best I get.
I'll try again at home, on Wifi. They seem to be quite big files.....

Ah just noticed - they're mp4 not flash! Hth?

Is there anyway to get BBC and ITV player to work on the San Francisco???

Just tried using SkyFire browser and thats not working too, if only flash would work

Then no it won't work since I've tried the ARM v6 modded Flash Player and it doesn't work on the iPlayer/ITV Player sites and apps.

Would upgrading to the 2.3 release not help this?

BBC made them kill the iPlayer streaming and even with old versions of the .apk they seem to have blocked it from accessing their streams.

There's beebplayer.
There's also catchuptv.com

Think you mean m.tvcatchup.com, only does live tv though
beebplayer hasn't worked (for me) for a long time now

read somewhere that bbc iplayer works on gsf 19 thru skyfire

I use stock browser
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA Premium App

I can confirm that skyfire can play iplayer files from video library I didn't manage to start the live stream video, but radio streams work fine.
I use GSF (b13), but this should work on other roms (there is no need for flash player).
