Youtube uploader : no videos upload

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

Facebook & Youtube social network engine..?

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:

However, it didn't work for me, I'm still looking for a solution.

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

How the heck do you find videos in HTC Album?

HTC Audio Manager is a fantastic piece of software, so how come their Picture/Video manager is so terrible? Maybe it's me, but I can't find:
1. An "open file" option. How the heck am I supposed to open a file in a specific location?
2. A "sort albums alphabetically option". Okay, fine, I can accept that it's going to scan and include every single album on my device. But how am I supposed to find anything if there is no way to sort the albums?
3. A way to show only picture files or only video files. If I want to watch videos, how the hell am I supposed to find them?
I am a lifelong windows mobile user, but it's this kind of thing that REALLY drives me nuts. You want email? Sure, but you won't get a "mark all as read" button, or the ability to create rules (hence reducing the email functionality to the level of the iFail). You want to watch videos and look at pictures? Sure, we'll give you great codec support but no way to actually get to the videos.....
Am I a total idiot or is this piece of software really that bad?

You'll need to browse to where your video file is. To do this, tap the left soft key "Albums" and navigate accordingly.
However, it doesn't support many video formats. So I use it only to play back video that's taken with my device. All other videos, I use Coreplayer.

For some reason, HTC Album wasn't picking up my "Video" folder that I created on my storage drive. In fact, it still isn't - I just got it to work but only by creating a subfolder within the main "Video" folder. It only sees the subfolder.
This brings me to my next question - right now, the albums list is incredibly cluttered. Is there a way to either sort it alphabetically, or make HTC Album recognize a folder structure? Instead of the vast jumble of random subfolders (all of my pictures and video are organized meticulously), it would be much easier to have a seperate "Pictures" and "Video" folder, with subfolders such as "Movies, TV Shows", etc under each one.
Is this possible?

Anyone know how to make HTC Album rescan? I deleted a bunch of picture folders but it's still showing them.

my albums are seperated into different folders based on what they are and it works great. I just browse into the folder from HTC Album to whatever i want to watch or look at.
Here is how you rescan the library.
under device, application data, htc...there is a .vol file. Delete this, and the music application will rescan your library.

Put.io WP7

For anyone using the file service Put.io, this app lets you stream and locally store MP4 converted videos.
This was my 1st WP7 app, learning the ropes etc - however I will not work on it in its current state (a redesign is required)
However, until the day I get my act together feel free to try this version for free and watch those videos easily
More dev updates will be found at X-Volt.com
P.s this can only run videos on a device that is not connected to the computer!

thx workshop2

I forgot to say, tap and hold items for the context menu (the only working options are stream/open video and download a video - if the file is local then it can also be deleted)

A few bugs?
Great app if I could get it to work. When I sign in an error pops up saying:
Error converting value "2558511245" to type 'System.Int32'.
I press ok and it continues to connect. I go to my files folder but I havent been able to get it to download. I get another error saying theres a problem with mediaplayer....Then it signs back in with your user key and api secret. So I start all over and try to stream the movie. That worked.....almost :/ I had picture, but no audio. I checked the movie from my laptop and the movie does have sound. It just doesnt have sound while streaming to my WP7 HTC. Another thing is there anyway that our user key and api secret can be saved so we dont have to sign in every time we open the program or it crashes? That's also happened a few times. It crashes and I get a black error screen with a lot of writing.
So I have been driving myself crazy trying to get it to work. Do you think you could fix these issues in your next update?
Thanks so much!

Oops, I forgot I had my API key being saved (bit of a security issue there...)
To stream video you can't have the phone connected to the comp, but it runs fine on my phone (Omnia 7) however sometimes put.io conversions arn't always perfect.
If you can give me some more of the error message (converting number to int) so I can fix that for you, but as I said im not planning on doing much with this application as im going to rebuild it once im less busy. You can only download/steam films that have been converted, and to download you hold down on the item to bring up the context menu, then click download.
You can find the settings saving error fixed in the latest attachment at the top of the screen.
Thanks

Thank you for fixing the save settings. I've been filling my put.io account up with converted .mp4 movies. I bought a subscription to put.io so that I can use the app you developed. However when I open the app on my phone, the movie list shows up, but I'm not ablt to do anything with them. They wont open at all for streaming or downloading and I don't have my phone plugged into the computer when using the app. I cant hardly wait until you have the time to rebuild this app. When all the bugs ahve been worked out I think this app will be amazing. Until then I wait in frustration.........

Well I will say it could be months until I am able to do anything as this was just a research application into WP7 development (I learned many lessons )
For the moment, if you could give me more details about the movies not working - does an error appear? What does it say? Have you double checked Put.io to see if the videos are converted? All this information can help me see if I can fix anything...
I know the Mango update brings more video streaming capabilites in the near future, maybe that will help.
P.s I hope you lying about buying a sub to use this app

No, Im not kidding. I paid for a sub to put.io I've been adding .mp4 files to put.io from mobilism.org. The files are in .mp4 format. If I add them from my computer through Zune, they work on my phone, just not through the put.io app. At this time I am not getting any errors popping up because Im not able to do anything at all as I mentioned before.
Out of curiosity, I added an .avi movie to put.io and then from the site, converted it to .mp4. I wasnt able to view it from the app so I reinstalled your previous app and signed in. The .avi movie file showed in my list and I was able to stream it. However it buffered a LOT. I tried to download the file and eventually the app crashed. So I added the latest updated app back to my phone. Which puts me where I am now, still not able to download or stream my .mp4 files. Am I doing something wrong??

No, it sounds like the application isn't working. Dont hold your breath for a quick fix as im extremely busy at the moment. Thanks for the interest though, makes me want to do it even more (btw, what device are you using?)

I have the HTC Surround. Ok, I'll just just check back now and then as I am very interested in using your app

After a lot of trial and error, I figured out how to get the movies to stream to my phone. I have to upload torrent .avi files to put.io and then convert them to .mp4 from the site. Uploaded .mp4 files wont work for some reason. However, I also found an app ~ yomomedia. With yomomedia I can rss my put.io files and stream them to my phone. The stream player lets me rewind or fast forward through the movie and also saves my place if I need to leave the screen. With the put.io wm7 stream player, I can only pause the movie. If I leave the screen I loose the movie all together.
Just thought I'd let you know

no way to refresh Samsung (native) Music app really?

Someone said to place all new music in internal and then it will be recognized.
Another way is to clear app's data.
Really? No refresh option? Cmon Samsung.

Well I had started the phone over at the time of my prev post..right now thats 3+ hrs ago and that shutdown / startup was after a total data clear in the apps settings Samsung Music app storage, and a unmount of the ext sd.
I just think it is interesting to see the difference in the Samsung indexing compared to the vlc indexing for my music. VLC takes upwards of a half hour. Samsung however has taken over three hours and is not nearly done yet. Of 7 or 8 newly added music folders, still only 3 have showed up (folders tab allows for sort by recently added).
It looks like a 6 hour indexing job or at the very least 4. Probably 6 as I just happened to look down and saw the tail end of some kind of toast notification of passing the first 10000 song point of loading.
Pretty tarded app. REALLY needs a refresh button if it is this slow to index.
But it does look good scrolling thru all the albun covers.

Just had a thought...hope it isn't screwing with my custom created artworks. That would be totally uncalled for.

No checking on a jpg file it remains at its original shape and size.

I have been watching this indexing of the music by the Samsung Music app, very closely.
It returned both positive quantities and negatives so far.
I consider this to be one of the best sets of native apps of any phone so far, but the music app being the only AOD enablable app for lockscreen music has me baffled and disappointed. Though not entirely.
On one hand it is really blows it in that it has taken over 6 hours so far and only 3 of 8 of my newly added folders have been loaded.
Additionally it misses the ball on SEVERAL of the artwork configurations which VLC (not supported in AOD) picks up easily.
First the pro column, it looks good in album view and scrolls real smooth, without using 7 GB for APP Data (which is what vlc takes to run my music collection) (where is it storing the data? is my question here); refer to screenshots 1, 3 &4 &8.
However, there is a small number of album arts missing, and more than expected albums in the 'Unknown Album' position of the 'U's in the alphabet. Which indicates to me that there could be some id tag misrecognition or unrecognition someplaces;
refer to screenshot 15 &16.
Finally the Samsung native music app sees the artwork as different in albums where different songs have different artworks, but only in instances where those arts and songs are nested in separate folders. Such as my version of the Pulp Fiction soundtrack.
In cases where the artworks were embedded separately in the songs of a compilation to show their original album arts, which is how I did the Word Of Mouth compilation, (which I also screenshotted here from the Samsung file manager which displays that in the file manager we can see the individually embedded songs embedded arts in its little file manager thumbnail) there is no individually embedded artwork recognition in the AOD enabled samsung music app. The lockscreen displays show that VLC will have these Word Of Mouth albun arts as different.
Seen in the remaining screenshots:

It's not the only AOD enabled music app. Good play music works just fine as do others.

I am of course speaking of the following always on display as seen in the following screenshot
(though I haven't tried those other apps) ...and not the screenshots in my prior post which are lockscreen shots.
Meanwhile after a decharge today from 100% down to now 44%, it has still not indexed my music files completely as at least one folder is still not seen atop the latest folders list. Most of them just showed up in the last hour or two though. About 24 hours so far since it started.
Presumably it must be storing all these artworks in the system, they are all there as I scroll the lists.
As my sd isn't formatted to the phone but only external.

Man, just buy a better sd card and dont blame the phone for this or atleast try to format this one and try again.

Man. Maaaaan haha. Don't tell people what to do. Aggression indicated stupidity thats just stupid you know. Literally. Loser. I bet you don't even keep any music on your phone. Probably using Spotify. Not me I'm from a different generation. We used to buy physical copies of our music albums, and carry them around with us. The music then was better too.
The phone must be using some sort of sdcard block by block scan eh. It still finding items on the thing. Not exactly a normal method to find files. I'm guessing it locates the head folder, but in my case it's a complex tree.
So if it is the sdcard being 500 GB card. That's a pretty good sized card anyway.
But it is still finding stuff screenshotted it then left it over night (after charge and restart) and it added some 10 more albums or so to the list.

It's not about size of card, but read/write speed, the slower the card the longer it takes for the phone to update the album arts.

I have no problem with this app. I have 6 GB music files in my SD card and it loads all albums and album arts immediately when I open the app. My SD card is Samsung Evo+ 128GB.

Slowly now. Latest rate appears to be finding about 1/hr. Samsung card. Singly written. Couple months old. EVO.
Also it is really fast to load those arts once it finds the absolute block in the SD cards file system.. VLC has always been ultra slow at loading all the music. If one were to attempt to enter an artist heading in VLC or album heading, it could take minutes to resolve the artist or album.
This app has its negative points, but it also has its positive points. I am not here to criticize the app. I am here making a point to observe it. Really pleased with the Samsung apps as I said in the op. The keyboard and the file manager I especially like. The points where the music app slips in finding some arts are probably gonna be repairable by changing out the few non functional music files on a case by case basis.

Seriously fast app for loading the musics and arts. real time jump anywhere in the list by track or albun. Very pleased.

VLC vs Samsung data usage stat for 300 GB of music. this app is like a window to my SD card.

Samsung s native music app is trash honestly.
I would recommend a alternative like vinyl player or black player.

Not pleased again. Used Smart Switch to do a phone backup, took out the sd card, put back in, restored the backup, and now it is re-indexing the music again. So once again my latest added folders are not here. Once again can't listen to my newest adds like Madonna's GHV2 for example, if I wanted to (with the Samsung music app, at least). Which blows.
I thought once it built its music index it would store it in the permanent. now back to square 1.

I'm glad i don't mess around with this stuff any more. I uploaded all my music to Google Play Music and never looked back. Available anywhere, on any device with internet and i can always download music from Play Music if i really need to. I don't have any need to carry thousands of albums in my pocket.

That's cool. is that a sharable playlist or what? I can't say as I've heard of that one how does it work? You pay a subscription fee or what?
I have purchased a few albuns off of Google play store but I don't like the feeling of staying connected to the internet. So I can't rely on the internet.
Really ridiculous this app is slowly reloading those folders again. This all started cause I heard from the Samsung store that they could replace my carrier version of the software with something from Samsung. Which they then failed to do. Not something I would do very often.

Massive deceleration curve for this indexing thing. Been screenshotting the progress over the past several hours. The window over thr albums holds it's viewpoint above the list. Say it was started in the 4th quarter of the Alphabet (by albun population) at album number 1200, after 400 albums are added it enters the third quarter by going through first the T's backwards from Tzolkin Date to T Rex.Then on into the S's rising towards the top but staying at a viewpoint of album #1200 in the list, which now would have over 1600
While the population happens over a graph of time on the x axis. The y axis charts the speed of albums added. The curve is hyperbolic deceleration over time.
Last time the indexing was being completed, I saw a few albums still being added. (before the restart happened today).
Between 5 or 1 (guestimated but def. odd numbered amount) entries appeared sometime after noon today as shown in the following two screenshots. Seen by the shift of the Title on the upper left into the right column. This happened around 60 hours after the start of indexing Tuesday evening.

I think send feedback to developer of app and till they fix the problem try another app , i use Poweramp for years for all my music needs
