Playing video from the BBC Mobile site - HTC One X

I'm trying to watch videos from the BBC mobile sports site http://www.bbc.co.uk/sportmobile on my HOX but when I load the page I'm getting the message "Sorry your phone is not compatible to play media from this website"
Any suggestions on how I fix this?

Yep, it won't work in the built in browser (nor in Chrome).
However, it works fine in Dolphin Browser HD and Opera Mobile, both free in the market.

It works for me.....
Try enabling the flash player, not sure if that would make a difference.

Spot on, I enabled the flash player (which I had completely overlooked) and it works fine. Any idea why this is disabled by default? Is it to conserve the battery?

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.

I just posted a TCPMP player in this forum with all the plugins needed to play youtube and google video, search for that and youre good to go
Or you can always use Kinoma Free play... I been using this for a while and it is promising so far.

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

I´ve tried TCMP and Kinoma before creating this post... both unsucessful, but Skyfire is the one.
But again, thank you all for your suggestions.

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

I believe you need to download the streaming media cab. I will post a link with the download when I get home! you can't watch videos directly on the site with the Excalibur, instead the phone streams the media with a media player such as the streaming media player, tcpmp, wmp etc.

Is your data connection working correctly, meaning can you browse the web without problem? I'm using the Youtube app without problem on my Excaliber and the 3VO 2.80 ROM. Note, you do NOT need the HTC Streaming Media player on the phone, and in fact that can cause more problems than it solves.
Check your data connection settings.

That is not true. The YouTube application does not need any other ap to view the site and videos. The streaming media cab is NOT needed for anything anymore and on the newer ROMS can cause more problems.

I totally agree with you, there's no need to run another app to view youtube videos, I haven't got any trouble so far running youtube in 3vo rom.
how did you get it working? i'm also using the youtube app but it doesn't play the videos correctly... it shows me the preview image but no video, sometimes it play the video but it kinda freezes even tho audio is still playing... it's a PITA that i can't get the youtube app to work correctly

In my opinion, the best choice to watch youtube videos in Excalibur is COREPLAYER.

+1 .
Mobile Internet
Since the Excalibur doesn't support 3G, it is likely that YouTube will only reliably work over WiFi, because GPRS is too slow to stream the videos.
hi, i recently installed opera mobile 10 and core player to my p51, could any one tell me how to make opera to play youtube (or any other websites if able) videos with core player, my windows IE browser plays youtube videos with core player, but that browser sux bc its slow and it sux
Can you try skyfire, it's a good browser with native support for flash, but without wifi is too slow.
For the download search it with google, it's freeware

Megavideo problem

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!
