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\

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...
Hi.I'm if this subject has been discused already, but I couldn't find it. Anyway, does anybody know why my youtube embeded player in coreplayer does not work, although the youtube dedicted player in HTC Sense works? Thanks a bunch. I'm looking forward to your advice.
Doesn't anyone know what the problem might be?

Might be the same thing?
Does anyone have this problem I posted on the google forums here: https://productforums.google.com/fo.../report-a-technical-issue/android/Uj4K1IN_jno ?
Or is it only me?
Did someone manage to find a fix?
Yes
Yes, since I updated to KitKat 4.4.2 my videos are like this, but only happens in low resolutions.
If you go to settings and change the video resolution to 480p, sometimes 360p, it should be fine.
same problem
Is anyone solve this problem?
For me only appears when playing in non max resolution.
Although it's checked "always choose best quality" in youtube settings,
player sometimes start streaming in 480p for hd videos,
and this problem occurs.
ls there a way to force youtube to play only the highest quality?

Use the modded youtube version you can find here on XDA. Search. There you can force 720p if you like. I use it on my S4 Mini, and it's a great to take full advantage of the qHD resolution screen.
Am i missing something obvious i can't search for videos in the youtube app any ideas ? Thanks
Scrap that must have been a glitch went into youtube at least half a dozen times with no search option posted on here went into youtube search function on top weird ...
