Downloading now...
After using it for a few mins... Cool new little app, but ide rather stick to using HTC streaming media/internet explorer combo.
Cons:
-Cant clear/erase any text in input boxes by hitting the back button, it will end up being used like a normal back button command and return you to previous programs/home screen. Very annoying, you will have to close the program and reopen it to reuse the search field.
-No option to sign into your own YouTube account like you can on m.youtube.com. I like being able to go to my favorites and my videos. You cant do this with this application.
Pros:
-Very fast and simple layout.
-The video buffers extremely fast and the video/sound quality is superior to HTC Streaming Media Player.
-Seems to be stable.
Youtube
Yes anyone whos new here u want HTC_Streaming_Media. Cab file, forget about anything else to use YouTube.

Seems like a nice YouTube app, except I can't get any sound on my Dash. Any suggestions?
Does this Youtube app, load an icon into programs? or does it make a folder in programs ?

Load a video then press up, mine had no sound til I pushed up on the D-Pad and got the players slid bar.
Not a bad app, but too limited, SvB4EvA review is spot on

Supported is a long way from native - it looks awful compared to Opera, blocky, gritty images, impossible to read anything without zooming...
The PC equivalent would be playing Quake in 640x480 on a 1920x1200 monitor...
how do you get it to change resolution?
yes okay it looks not as good as opera. but i think this is a really fast browser. i tink i will use this if i have only gprs connection and opera mini gave up
or you can use wvgafix3 to change the resolution =)
Meh stretched VGA =(. Good browser but that's the only bad thing about it, hope they'll change it one day.
shame its not full res on the touch hd.
Have they got sound working on video streams yet ???
this is nothing. still waiting on opera 9.7
Mach5 browser has same speed as skyfire but opera's clearity/resolution. Also, plays videos without any problems.
Here are the changes:
Skyfire 1.0 has a huge number of enhancements over the longstanding 0.9 beta:
* Thumbnail interaction. Now you can click on links immediately after the page loads without having to zoom in. This enhancement is especially helpful for high resolution phones, and for familiar sites where you know right away where you want to click. It makes getting to the content you want on the page simpler, quicker and more efficient.
* Improved Zoom. Double-tap or double-click to zoom over any element, including links, images or videos. The zoom interaction is smoother and more responsive as well. Best of all: when you zoom in you will get readable text instantly (beforehand, text was blurry and took a while to become sharp).
* Enhanced Navigation. When you navigate back or forward, you return to the last viewport (e.g. zoom level and portion of the page). Thus eliminating the need to pan and zoom into the section you were viewing on the previous page. Skyfire remembers even the viewport when you select a page from your history.
* Improved page handling. Enhancements have been made especially for AJAX-intensive sites such as Facebook and Gmail. If larger parts of the page get updated then the client will more quickly and accurately reflect this.
* iFrame handling. There's a solution for full-width iFrames in Skyfire
* Fast start. The developers changed both the sequence and behavior of the Skyfire launch so you get started as quickly as possible. You can type a search or URL in the Superbar while Skyfire is connecting in the background. You can put Skyfire to work before the start page is even loaded.
* Reconnect to last state. When you leave Skyfire in the background, Skyfire will disconnect to preserve battery life. Once you come back to it (after minutes, hours, days) it will reload the same page to the same zoom level and focus. Thus you can continue right where you left off. When you exit and start again, you will always land on the start page.
* Connection helper. There's a new mechanism in place to detect when connections cannot be established to Skyfire servers. If this is due to a network configuration (common in GSM land), then suggestions are provided to help out. This is especially useful if you are with a carrier/data plan that places restrictions on certain APN configurations, which interferes with Skyfire.
* Enhanced search results. Google results now include video, news articles, local results all blended on a single results page and ordered by relevance. Vertical search categories are still available.
* Improved RSS feed search. Find your favorite custom RSS feeds through the improved Add-Feed feature, found under the Customize menu on the start page. Search by site domain, feed URL, or even topical keywords.
* Easier sharing of RSS items from start page. Skyfire has exposed a simple “Share this article” link below each RSS story displayed on your start page to make it easier to share interesting items to Twitter and Facebook
* Remember last connection (Symbian only). Skyfire can now remember the last connection for you, so you will not have to choose a connection every single time. In addition, if you want to change the connection type while you are in Skyfire then you can do so.
sound is included. hm strange if i change the resolution to vga (wvgafix3) the texts and pictures are still noisy -.- dont understand that but i think a higher resolution will be not good for the skyfire servers.
waiting for 9.7
but i think 9.7 will be released end of the year. fennec also....
much better than the Beta's... I actually quite like this.

Same problem here...
Ok I'm coming from another phone where I'm used to certain things so I'm trying to figure out some things on the Incredible... any help would be appreciated.
1. How do I send MMS video? No matter what resolution I take a video at, when I try to send it through MMS I get the message saying it's too large. It doesn't give me the option to edit it and send or anything.... When I used other android devices (Hero and N1) there was an option to take "MMS Video" which I thought was pretty poor way of doing things since I could be taking a video that I then wanted to later send as MMS but didn't have the option if it wasn't taken at MMS... Shouldn't it just convert it and send it for you or something? Anyhow, I don't even see the "MMS Video" option so I figured they had fixed this and made it so it converts it for you but no dice...
2. In the web browser I can't view videos like on Vimeo etc... For some reason I was under the impression that this phone did flash? But I can't get flash videos OR HTML5 embedded videos to load. :-( Now on Vimeo, the video does appear to be there but when I hit the play button the loading bar appears, loads up to 100% and then nothing happens... and hitting the full screen toggle in the corner of the video window doesn't make it full screen either... What am I doing wrong?
3. On the mail client it doesn't seem to be rendering HTML correctly. Some of the formatting is broken and I have to tell it to load pictures each time I open a message. Is there a way to change it so it always loads all HTML and pictures? Also when I do click to load the pictures, the rendering is off and not sized correctly; I have to scroll side to side as well as up an down to view the full email. Also a lot of the text is unaligned especially around pictures. This also happens in the Gmail app too. How can I improve this?
4. In the camera App, the app works fine actually it's just odd that the controls are stuck in landscape mode and when I turn the phone to portrait the controls don't change with it... Just seems like something that should be addressed especially in out of the box apps.
5. Is there a way to arrange the order my friends are in on the people widget?
6. What's the default movie player on the Incredible and does it support subtitles/chapters? How do I get them on the device?
7. What are some good task switchers you recommend? Other than the default long press on home task switcher.
try skyfire browser for vimeo.. works well but unfortunately does not work for hulu

Got my desire yest and loving it. Having a small problem tho when i try and watch a megavideo.com link I get automatically redirected to some crappy jej share. com site. Anyone know a fix to this? Really want to watch tv shows through megavideo.
Thanks
Bump.
Does anyone know a fix to this? Like i said the desire seems to automatically re-direct when i go to megavideo.com to this j.jeshare.com!

Thanks alot man that worked, but now i have another problem
When i go direct to megavideo and press play its saying this is not supported - shockwave flash.
However i know that is wrong because when i go to another website which has megavideo links embedded, the phone plays them no problem
Hehe, sounds like you need to manage your own expectations...
The Desire is a very capable internet device. It probably has the best mobile browser I've ever used. But it is still a mobile device and as such, not all websites will work...
Yeah looks that way
I'll just have to use the embedded website to watch my megavideo shows, strange that it says not supported when clearly it is tho
guys, have you tried this application? it lets you download and stream any megavideo video, directly on your device, without using flash player and without the browser!

That's what I wanted to say, too. Dolphin Browser HD plays videos from Megavideo (for me at least )
Looks pretty friggen good. This is just part of the news with the announcement of the final tools being available.
They took an interesting route with YouTube. You use the browser to find the video and then it pops up a YouTube plugin/app automatically that plays the video.
You can see the other ones in action here (scroll down a bit).
It looks ok.
Don't see what's so interesting about youtube, I thought every OS except WM did that?

There really isn't anything interesting other than it's there. People were questioning it and saying it wouldn't come because it hadn't been shown off yet. It was one of the knocks on WP7 in the reviews of the preview/dev release.

I do too but it doesn't launch when I tap a video on a web page, I have to launch it separately and enter something to view it. In web pages I just have built-in Flash videos, which are very awkward to control. I very much prever external viewing.

True this would probably be alot more efficient.
Btw, I read somewhere in an RSS feed I can't easily locate that it's not a YouTube app, the browser simply launches videos in the video player. Using iPhone now I totally don't get what the fuss is about flash support as ios handles most videos on the web, not just YouTube. Maybe if I played flash games I would miss something.

I meant the clicking on a video in your browser part.
When I click a link mine asks:
Browser
Youtube
Skyfire
And
Would you like to set a default?
What about videos that aren't from YouTube?
Then youtube doesn't show up in the list.
And you have to watch the video in the browser?
Nope, I can chose how I would like to view it.
