WM6 WMP11 Video Fullscreen Problem
Whenever I choose to go into fullscreen while watching a video on windows media player... it turns the video sideways... so it's the correct viewing if you turn the phone to the right if you're holding it in front of you. any fix? this wasn't happening in the beta... i remember there being a fix for the mda... but u could always change the orientation of the mda...
help? thanks!
i've had the same problem wondering if anyone knows the tips to fix it! appreciated!
I started 2 other treads about this issue at:

and also in HF:

I'll let you know if I find a solution for it.
yeah man, please let me know if you find a fix to this. no one else is having this problem? I'm using orb too btw... thanks!
I'm having the same issue. WM6 downloaded off T-Mobile's site for the Dash. Win Media player orients fullscreen video vertically.

It only happens with streaming video. If you play a local video (storage card) in full screen it works fine.
question about Video!!
is it possible to view videos on websites such as youtube on wm6? I don't see why it isn't possible just was wondering if im not seeing the correct method to it???
Regular videos can be viewed no problem, are you having issues with them? YouTube uses flash to display the movies, so it's a little different. You can try downloading the Flash Player Lite :

I haven't tried it on the Dash, but you'll need something like that to watch YouTube videos. Backup your Dash before installing as always. Good luck!!

I don't think anyone's been able to get youtube to work on the Dash yet. The FlashLite adobe product only works for sites that are explicitely written to take advantage of it...and the number of sites any of us has ever found that do that: zero.
You can stream in and/or download videos from tinytube.net. That site seems to be some sort of proxy that reads/converts video from youtube into a format that can be viewed on the Dash. Works well.

Add the following Key "Rotation" under HKLM\System\GDI\
e.g. [HKLM\System\GDI\Rotation]
Then Add this dword.

Glad you found it -- if you'd attempted a quick search here, you'd find that info had been posted weeks ago, and, you're just a quick search away from a wealth of info on how to edit the registry.

i searched, and still cant find out how to do registry edits. i'm really not interested in doing registry edits, just that one to fix the landscape thing, so if somebody could please put a step by step directions on how to do it, i'd appreciate it. btw, i just downloaded total commander, thanks
omar
ok, i'm playing around with total commander, and i found HKLM\System\GDI\. so wat do i do now? do i scroll down in that folder to the add value selection? or do i go to file and then edit? and where do i add the landscape=0 thing? under that new folder that i just made, rotation? and do i put it as:
"landscapemode"=0 or landscapemode=0? thanks guys
omar
this cab will install the registry entry
you tha man, thanks a lot
problem with playing videos on dash
hey guys, for some reason my dash cant play videos that i add through media player. any videos on there right now play fine, but when i try to open a video i just put on the storage card (through active sync), it says: cant find "name of file" make sure the path and filename are correct and that all the required libaries are available.
anybody know how to fix this? thanks...
btw, when looking at the file on file explorer, the symbol for it it is a white paper with a flapping window inside...
Does anyone have it?
I 'm looking for it from a couple of days but...nothing!
Don't know exactly what you mean but when you say Fullscreen I think it has to be a Video Player?

Thank you very much for your reply LordCoffe
Unlucky TCMP is not what I meant...when you go into manila photo tab (wich one that shows you al photos/videos) if you click to open a picture you can see that thanks to an app HTC album manager...but if you wanna open a video the app that do it is called HTC fullscreen player (or something like that)...
Normally this app is pre-installed but I miss it because I'm running with an ultra lite rom (from Swtos) that don't include this...
No helps?
Please!!
hi folks,
i wonder to know if you guys can still upload videos to your youtube account using the standart youtube uploader located in the video album menu.
every time i choose to upload a vidéo, i get the message that the task has been send to youtube,and then nothing,no more messages and no videos uploaded.
did youtube changed something?
i have my account setting configurate in Settings > Connections > Account manager.
Any clues about what can be wrong?
is there a .cab that update this function?
thxx for helping
best regards
Hi.
I've been playing with this a little, and I've found that my videos are being uploaded, but aren't accessible via the youtube app on the phone. If I go to youtube on my PC, then the newly uploaded vids are available when I log in to my account. But no matter what I do with the youtube app (even doing a search for the video ID, seen in the URL as v=xxxxxx), I cannot find them.
I'd really like to upload a vid and see the difference between captured video, and the same video uploaded and played back via the youtube app, but I can't
At a guess, I'd think that the search engine for the youtube app is different from the one on the actual website, and simply doesn't get refreshed as often.
It's still a FANTASTIC feature, regardless, and one that I'll be using a LOT from now on

I was just wondering if there is a way to watch other videos than youtube using mobile??
If so could u tell me how to make it work?
you could try youtubeplay or skyfire browser
thx for sky fire. the quality is not the best but it works
yeah I know but if they just make it 800x480 native not stretched it will be much better
This isn't rom related and should be moved out of this forum. Please try and follow forum rules when posting.
sorry but tell me one more thing how can i enable sound to this movies??
So?? doeas eny one know how to give sound to videos in skyfire??
Sound
I have sound with Skyfire (v1.0) (There is an icon at the start of skyfire and at the start of video)
Do you know Web Video Downloader ?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=427702
It's a good soft.
just restart your device or just reinstall it it often shows that problem with almost every single people and another option before doing that u should carry out is go to setting advance option untick your hint to mobile device that should do i guess...
hope it works mate other wise only option is reinstall it and ya before and after reset.
its not working maby its cos i have duttys rom??:/
And tell me where on startup is this icon??
try mach 5, it's got the speed of skyfire (same technology) but with opera's resolution. It also sports a dedicated flash video player so youtube vids and the like will play without any problems (and look great when compared to skyfire).
Yeah its really really grate but its for cash:/
Skyfire
When it loads the home page and each time I launch a video I have an icon of a speaker to enable or disable sound. Do you have the latest version ?
I notied how the built in social network engine on the touch pro 2 has been removed. Is there a way to re-ad this feature to the touchpro 2..? I have seen various CAB files to open this up on ROM's for the fuze/original touch pro but are there any that make it work with the touch pro 2..? Also, may be a stupid question as I'm pretty sure I know the answer... Does this phone have any capability yo go into the youtube app when clicking on a youtube link send via email or text message like some other phones... IE - Iphone, android, etc. In the past, I have seen windows just load up the default browser instead and we all know that opera does not support flash to make this happen. And even if you install the flash lite 3, half the time it will NOT work or the video frame rate will be poor. Is there a way around it or has windows mobile just not evolved to this stage yet..?
I thought that these were posted already in the forum but wasn't sure.

Youtube is also already built into the TP2 and should be in your programs. You can't auto-launch it with a link unless stuff gets hardcoded as Youtube Application links.

No, I'm talking about the social network engine within the HTC album interface that was originally introduced with the touch HD. It was ripped when TF3D2 was ripped. Now the newer versions of TF3D2 do NOT have it running. The way it works is, you take a picture or choose an existing in the album, then it will give you options to either send a pic to facebook or send a video to youtube. Also the network settings for this were located in settings. This is where you would enter & save your youtube and facebook login settings. Then there was an uploader option in settings to allow you to view your upload progress.
Youtube from Album
Yes, I remember this one, on my HD I was able to send several videos directly to youtube. but now with my TP2, the option to login and send the files is not there any more. The Youtube app doesn't have the option to upload videos either.
I remember seeing a post for this that had some other issues with it like other parts of the album not working once they got this working again....
any real solutions.
Keep up the great work guys,
Ali.
This is the only thread I know about for the TP2:

Not sure if its what you want but Microsoft MyPhone will share pictures etc. for you to certain networks...
