youtube mobile problem

When I click on a link in youtube mobile the streaming application is launched, it says connecting for a few seconds and then it says "failed to find network".
I run Black Shadow.
does anyone else have the same problem. Any suggestion is appreciated.

Check the other thread
I'm about to reply there

about to reply where?
I have a similar problem, i get the "failed to connect" error. Under options i've set it to connect via media net and the internet and still not working.
I know i could install realplayer but then it doesn't auto open, i have to save the file then open it.

the Custel Cingular apps cab is causing the problem. do a hard reset and it works fine. A simple uninstall doesn't work. It would be great if someone could step in and tell us how to modify the registry to have the file type associations change to use the streaming player. I like the cingular apps, but it's nice to actually stream the videos (Maxim Mobile too)

Having the same problem as well.. i've been digging around the registry, but I haven't figured it out yet....

Wow thats crazy. If you click the link on m.youtube.com you get the error, but if you type it into manually into streaming media it works fine!

I used the disable proxy in the proxy manager folder and then it worked fine.
That is using Custel 2.5. And MediaNet.

Could you go into detail where the proxy manager folder is located? Thanks!

its located in a folder under program files but that doesn't seem to fix the problem the main issue is the file association of 3gp to realplayer. i know in sktools you can edit these file associations i haven't tried it yet though.

when I click a link.. it says loading and and does nothing.. realplayer or nothing pops up at all....
should it be using realplayer or tcmp player? i'm gonna try to reset and see what happens..

soft reset, and nothing happened...
let me know what everyone thinks.

I am running the new Elf Rom. Youtube loads right into Streaming Video..not problem.

Using Custel 2.5, and it opens in something called "Streaming Media for Pocket PC" version 2.10h (build 314.713) it looks like it's a HTC application that replaced Windows Media Player.
And when I posted about the proxy disable, that fixed the problem for me, it had just kept looping back to the opening page in m.youtube until I disabled the proxy.

i think the issue is that some people don't run cingular video and are fine because the streaming video app pulls up like it should and plays the video. For some of us that have cingular video realplayer is set to default 3gp so it tries to open it but for some reason doesn't like to play it. In order to fix the problem for those that have cingular video we have to resolve the default app for 3gp video back to the streaming media program or use tcpmp as it can open 3gp video.

Streaming Media Cab {YouTube}
Does anybody have the Htc streaming media cab, not the one in the Touch. I need the one, that comes in most wm6 rom! YouTube a must have!

I am running black dymond 3.5 and have the problem described in the first post. I click the link in youtube -- watch video and it loads windows media player and then says connecting and then after sometime it says failed to find network and then back to the youtube page again.
I am not using cingular video nor do I have real player.
I am using wifi connection as I don;'t have unlimited data plan.

amen to that. i just installed tcpmp and changed file associations and its still not working or pointing to tcpmp. this is a must have for me also.

For Mobile YouTube Videos "RTSP Url" only
No, the TCPMP/player will not work this time, You need a player that will host rtsp, [example] rtsp://rtsp.youtube.com/youtube/videos/ect... You need a HTC streaming Media player that comes on most of the ppc wm6 ROM. That's why I looking for the cab file. Again it works like a charm on my MDA running Core 2.0, but I need the cab file for another device....!

HTC Streaming Media Player Cab Is What You Need
I have HTC Streaming Media, version v2.10 build 1025.621 on my MDA running the Core 2.0. The streaming media player will automatic open the rtsp url on http://m.youtube.com! That's the player you need. I connect to mobile youtube using wifi!

Orb Streaming Video

Ok, so I just upgraded to Ricky's rom (wonderful!). All is well and good.. But i'm experiencing the same video problem I was on WM6. I am simply trying to stream video through Orb.. But I get no video, only sound.
Now, I have copied the dll's for the decoder and restarted my phone. Still, I get no video. TCPMP is the same (rc81).
Am I missing a step?
Thanks for the help!
Nick

disregard
plz disregard.. figured out that its an issue with codecs on my home box, they have decided to stream in black... Woops!

Slingbox, Orb, Lobster, FlashVideoBundle and Streams4pda All Works Perfect

I use the RC81 TCPMP/Player beefed up codecs version with extra codecs and Orb, SlingBox, Lobster, FlashVideoBundle. Streams4pda (Global TV) all works like a charm with Ricky's (17) version ROM. I have no problem connecting back to my home PC with any of my mobile devices.....!

this was one of the coolest features i've found thanks to this thread, i can monitor my entire house through web cams, and watch it all on my phone.

What program can i use to watch youtube or divx on my dash, and where can i get it? THX Sorry Newb..

Two months ... No new Base ROM Build

It is almost 2 months since Kavana sent us 080408. While Rick has given us many refreshes of content since, we are still on the same build of the WM 6.1 OS.
Judging from the frequency of updates for various PPCs and PPC Phones, and the lack of them for Smartphones such as the S620, it must be very difficult to get your hands on a Smartphone ROM.
Is there any likelihood of an update soon ?

for me, i'd like to see better support of bluetooth via activesync. Since the 6.1 upgrade i've not been able to connect via activesync via bluetooth. And truse me, i've done everything i can think of to get this to work. Tried both toshiba and bluesoleil stack with no luck.

Lets me guess, are you using a Dell laptop? I managed to make it work using toshiba stack. The steps are not like the ones floating around on the internet. Let me know if you are interested.

no, im not using a dell laptop, just a bluetooth dongle that uses the toshiba BT stack.... of yes! of course! i'd like these steps. Just pm me or aim me (or yahoo) as not to flood this thread with instructions for this, since its not related to the reason for this thread.

I've got a dongle that I think uses the MS stack. I can sync via bluetooth in Vista 64 no problemo.

I'd like to see the auto-complete in the To: field in messaging. This is supposed to be a feature of WM 6.1. I had it on my Moto Q9m running WM 6.0 and it is a big time saver.

Kavana is just in a deep sleep thats all lol.

I've tried several ROMs and i just can't imagine how to improve on Kavanas ROM. Everything just works. Great Job.

I would like to see a IE to be able to play streaming videos like youtube and so on.

Have you installed programs such as: TCPMP, CorePlayer, or the HTC Streaming Media Player? Each of these will play streaming vids (such as YouTube). As a matter of fact, Technology has posted several codecs in one of his threads which accompanies the TCPMP player. Last night, I watched a video on YouTube (via Excalibur) which was an uncanny resemblance to the quality on my PC! Crystal clear.

I see that you have mastered my picture pixel crystall clear video resoluton quality technology via the codecs pak for the 320X240 Screen(LCD Blue-ray HD)(LOL). You are the man, I know it works like a charm, now tell the other 50,000,000 people that, glad it works for you....!

Excalibur Screen 320X240 LCD QVEGA
With the Excalibur screen the video enhancement is unlimited with the LCD structure, thats why you are getting the super enhance video resolution quality, it accepts a digital signal better than a lot more expense device like the "Tilt"! Now to prove my point go to http://mobile.ardcorp.tv, this company broadcast in a high digital video quality for mobile devices (They Even Call It HDTV). This company offer the highest video resolution resolution quality for the Excalibur and several other devices. That's why I will never ever argue with people that will say, this is the highest video resolution you get for the Excalibur 320X240 screen, not true, that is a false statement as you can see for yourself...............!

Sorry for the delay, Solja! Tech will definitely point you in the right direction as to what to download from his threads. I've personally found TCPMP to be the best grade of quality when viewing streaming video (with the codecs in the thread I mentioned earlier). I didn't think it was possible for video to be as clear (and uninterrupted) on the Excalibur. I was using EDGE, mind you! lol Imagine what kind of quality a Wi-Fi connection would provide!

Youtube on Excalibur. Does it really work?

Hi everybody. I just want to know if I can actually watch Youtube videos on Excalibur or it's an urban legend?
I'm using Ricky's v24 no opera version and I tried to follow the definitive guide (well, not so definitive) to watch Youtube videos (found in this forum using the search), I also tried Htc Streaming Media (a .cab file someone posted here) and none of them worked.
I use Wi-fi to navigate most of the time, since I don't have a data plan. My router has no blocking stuff (I disabled all for testing purposes) and I'm using Internet Explorer to browse m.youtube.com, but so far I got nothing but a "failed to find network" from htc streaming media.
So.... I really don't know what to do.
If anyone does, please, share your knowledge with me. Thanks in advance.

Easiest way is to use Skyfire it's free, also i use CorePlayer to stream of mobile YouTube.

Dude... skyfire is the one.... How come such a software is not a hit? It's almost perfect.... I'm curious about it. I'll try to search for it later, but so far... what a great browser! the best experience I ever had. I wanna say thank you all, for all suggestions posted here, but I'll keep with skyfire.

I use skyfire, and it plays the youtubr videos, but without sound.. any idea?

I use a Program called Vtap. The Program is small and simple it searches youtube videos, myspace videos and more and streams without any problems. If you would like to give it a shot go to http://www.smartphonefreeware.org/download/vtap-0.143

If that floats your boat. Skyfire is a memory hog, it has over heating issues (battery and processor) it will be ad supported (as soon as it is out of beta testing) so look forward to clicking through an ad every page click... na, not worth it to me.

Vtap
I use Vtap by Veevo. It not only shows YouTube but tons of other video on the web. Plays great!

I have to agree with Bupahs... TCPMP is definitely the way to go (if you aren't using Skyfire w/ a high-speed connection). I have yet to experience a player with more crisp, clearer playback than TCPMP. I found that the trick is you have to access the Desktop version of YouTube instead of the mobile version. The mobile version won't allow you to use TCPMP, but the other version will. How can you tell the difference between the two, you may ask? The mobile version will use a black background, but the PC (Desktop) version looks identical to the one you're used to.

I installed HTC Streaming Media and I access my browser through the Java application that should be on your phone (it came with mine) and go to youtube and I'm able to watch videos perfectly fine.

I've had problems with skyfire locking up the phone. I find that opera mini is a great browser and Vtap for youtube

vtap works great. make sure to turn the quality up tho

found this youtube video. this guy gets it to work
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZfhMhCvaFY&feature=PlayList&p=9CE85817E31D29B7&playnext=1&index=2

Im not sure but can i not get this trying to use my phone to download no actual download link do i need to use a pc to download this ?
2009 Microsoft Convertion HTC S621 with no app locke on it.
came 6.0 preloaded running 6.1 standard.

kinoma works the best for me, tcpmp and htc streaming never worked. and coreplayer just froze everytime

video playback.... choppy

I tried putting a small video clip on my memory card. When I open it it plays like it's in slow motion, and it's really choppy. The audio for the clip plays in normal speed.
so a few questions...
Is there a best format of video files for my excalibur?
Is there mabey a player better than windows media player?
I hacked my psp a few years back. I was able to download full movies and watch them on it. I may be asking too much... but I'm wondering if it's possible to do this with my phone.
when I'm at work with my phone in my hand the ol' boss doesn't mind. Of course when I'm hanging on to a game system.... the **** hit's the fan!

Here you are a free bit of software that can recode videos http://www.erightsoft.com/SUPER.html download link @ bottom there is lot's of speal...
I use A-One FLV to AVI but it's not free, there is alot of software that can do it.
I recomended SUPER as i know lots of peeps use it, so set the resolution 320x240 keep bitrate down on video larger it is larger output file, audio can be set to mono and again about 64kbit/s and still be fine, .mp4 is a good quality for Mobile video or for even more compression .3gp
Re: Player TCPMP "to which is free" or CorePlayer "the pay version"

I've tried downloading TCPMP. When I try installing it I get a message that the install package isn't designed for my device.
this is where I'm downloading it from.
http://tcpmp.en.softonic.com/pocketpc/download#pathbar
Is there a different version that I need to use?

Try VLC Media Player you will want codecs CCCP is XP & Vista compatable "if you have any other codec packs installed then do not install"

well i actually wanted to start a mobile movie thread
like..i will be encodeing movies for mobiles..which will play without a hitch...and patches...
and uploading them on rapidshare or megaupload..
sooo what say??

what happens if you run out of battery in the middle of a movie, can you fastforward it afterwards and in an "easy" way? If it's possible, it depends on the video format, video player or both?
