You want help? Give us more info...
* What are you using to watch youtube videos? Somebody tell me if I´m wrong but, you can´t watch youtube videos with the rom only. You need an app to do that.
Here are some...
1 - Skyfire
2 - Youtube.cab - It lags a lot...
3 - Coreplayer - I use this one!
* What connection are you using? Wi-fi?
Sometimes connection is too slow to stream the video.
So... give us more info so you can get a better help....
Regards.

Thanks Joe, I just mentioned the Rom because I thought it might have something to do with it. I'm using wi-fi and I'm loading video using the youtube program from google, I'm assuming that's the youtube.cab ? I've been test playing the same video and it seems like the video freezes briefly at around the same times everytime. Skyfire seems to be working but the screen goes blank momentarily throughout a viewing. Coreplayer, I haven't tried but I'm assuming clicking a link on youtube would open up the player to play a video? I'm hoping there's a better way because that sounds more memory intensive. Thanks in advance for whatever help I can get.

Okay the YouTube official app is a sham and judders even on a Kaiser with extra grunt, skyfire is going though a server so all depends on that, CorePlayer will play anything thrown @ it, RTSP of YouTube is good quality... Not exactly memory intensive

I think you should give CorePlayer a try... the youtube.cab (from m.youtube.com) sucks. If you are going to try CorePlayer, it has its own youtube search engine built in. You do not search using a browser, you do it using CorePlayer.
I hope it helps.

How do you use the search engine in Coreplayer? I can't seem to find that in Coreplayer.

This program it's better than vTap posted here at Xda-developers?
I never tried vTap but with this program, you install it, you go on real youtube (www.youtube.com) search like you would on your computer and when you click the video it launches the TCPMP media player automatically and it plays.
I downloaded and tried it but it doesn't seem to trigger Core to open.
I am using the core player. Must I be using the old one core player and not this new edition?
During the installation of Flashvideobundle.cab I keep "Installation was unsuccessful. The program or setting cannot be installed because it does not have sufficient system permissions"
Not sure why I had my phone all unlocked thru imei-check.co.uk ..
Any pointers .. Thanks

This would freeze up my phone but I'm going to give it another try. Don't have to choose vTap or this, just use both.

Great, thank you. This version: v1.4.2, works perfect on my i-mate SP3i .
But v1.4.3 can't run on my gadget!

Try this... FlashVideoBundle from Modaco
Or you can go to www.mobytube.net on your device, you can also download in flv faster than from YouTube.

video stalls
The plugin works, the youtube video is loaded in tcpmp, and after playing the video for 1-2 minutes, the spinning joy starts, and the video never resumes. Tried changing buffering/video driver/other settings/different video clips, but cannot stream the entire youtube video through flashvideobundle plugin (1.4.4). Stalls after a minute or so. Anyone else seeing this problem?

Go to my thread and get the video tools that will fix your YouTube Screaming Problem, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=362685. Install TCPMP/Player 0.81RC1 and the FlashVideoBundle.cab latest Version both to your {SD Card, Soft Reset Your Device}! Next install the Codecs Plugin Zip Pak to your {SD Card, Soft Reset Your Device}, no shorts cuts. The YouTubePlayer.cab is exclusive for pocketPC device ONLY. If you still have YouTube streaming problems get back with me, have fun dude.......!
Technology rocks!!!
The only thing that can better the feeling of "Eureka!! It works!" is the feeling of "Didn't I tell you this will work?".
Technology rocks!! Pun intended Thank you so much Technology!! The problem of tcpmp getting stuck is now resolved. Earlier, I had tried 0.81 tcpmp and 1.4.4 flash bundle, but without the codecs folder. It was those bunch of codecs that you mentioned that solved the problem
Thank you so much!!!!!
Initially I thought it was ATT Cingular that was blocking my youtube traffic after 1 minute, since I was overloading their network. So I went to the extent of setting up a squid proxy on my fedora desktop (on 6Mbps cable line), and pointing my WM6 proxy to this machine instead of cingular.wireless.com:80 proxy. I thought, perhaps the proxy has some rate limiting module. But even with my squid proxy, the stream would halt after 1 min. That meant the player was having trouble streaming, and it wasn't the network. Debugging is fun. Only nerds can appreciate it
Greatly indebted to you and zbob.

Help with viewing Youtube and Jogger

I am having trouble mapping the t-zone key to do something other than take me to t-zone, for example I would like for it to open iexplorer. I tried using info from a threads I search with no luck. Also, I have me trying to view youtube and have used several apps from various threads such as Youtube player, kinomaplayer, 10live, and tmpcp player. Each time I either get file now support or a file error. I am using php registry and was able to change volume slider to use it to scroll. Phone is using WM6.

Strange, I have wm6 on one of my Dash/Excalibur and I'm watching YouTube Videos with my TCPMP player, KinomaFreePlayer{The Best} and the new RTSP video player. It works like a charm with YouTube. Now it's mighty strange that it will not work like a charm on your mobile device, by the way, the YOUTUBE player is for pocketPC devices ONLY, it tells you that in the thread.............!
I cant find a place where I can download rtsp player. The one I download is just a play.dmg.
I Will Help You!

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.

From what Youtube has advertised, you should be able to view youtube video on your phone. You could also use TCPMP with flv plug-in to watch youtube video...
hi is there a link for that also.
Come on - do a bit of searching, you would have found it without waiting for someone to reply!!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=380387 - download the attachment under "CAB Download"
Get the Skyfire Browser and you can view the real websites in full screen fast including youtube, and zoom in. The videos work very smoothly.
Skyfire can run flash apps, videos anything, fast.
skyfire makes my dash power off randomly. it doesn't play youtube vids at all. any tips for making it work?
why not using htc streaming??

Skyfire browser has no sound

Hi
Have you any idea why Skyfire browser has no sound, running youtube movies on my HTC Pro2 ? This has the original WWE ROM and the speaker is on at Skyfire.
Thanks very much for the answer.

I thought I had this problem today, then I realised the trouble was that I was charging the phone at the time. If anything is plugged into the USB/charger socket it treats it as if it were headphones and disables the speakers!
Is there a way of avoiding this?
Speaking of Skyfire, I thought about downloading it today. How is it? Is it better then Opera??

The zooming is a bit more clunky - doesn't use the zoom bar - and, as I'm complaining in another thread, it doesn't seem to anti-alias the fonts properly, so text has to be significantly larger to be legible than is the case with Opera. But having built-in flash support is a major advantage. I tried going to the BBC news site with it, and you can play all the little flash-video clips that go with the articles. Playback is a bit jerky, but it works.
Flash support? That's all I needed to hear. Downloading it now!
Thanks dude!
EDIT: Just went on my favorite hiphop site that's known for its videos. Finally could watch these videos on my phone. Wow!

Duh, that's the only reason to use Skyfire! The only browser with flash. And, it's fast.
I didn't know Skyfire has flash player that's why I was excited when I went to the site.
