Another GREAT way to play YouTube, Google Video & Veoh Videos for both WM platforms!!
It was just a few days ago that I’ve reported on the latest developments of playing back YouTube (and similar) videos on both Windows Mobile platforms.
Developing for Windows Mobile is so blazingly fast that immediately after publishing my article, a brand new and even better solution has been released, which doesn’t require any manual intervention to search and play videos any more.
There is an excellent tutorial, along with the two CAB files you need, HERE (related thread HERE). Please follow this tutorial on setting up the new player. Note that, in order to play back videos on a touchscreen-less MS Smartphone (Windows Mobile Standard) platform, you’ll need THIS TCPMP CAB file (instead of the one linked in the tutorial) – while the other CAB file, FlashVideoBundle.CAB, can be installed on Smartphones as well.
After installing, just go to, say, YouTube and click any video on, say, the main homepage. The video playback will (almost) immediately start, after switching to TCPMP.
Compared to the MobyTube-based solution explained in my previous tutorial,
The pros:
when you click a link in the REAL YouTube (and the other video repositories), you will be taken straight to TCPMP playing back the clip. No MobyTube searching / copy-pasting is necessary!
Smartphone compliance!
The cons:
not compatible with alternative browsers like Opera Mobile or NetFront; with them, stick to the MobyTube solution explained in my previous tutorial. Note that it’s compatible with all PIE plug-ins (tested with PIEPlus and MultiIE; the latter on both (Pocket PC’s and Smartphones) platforms)
no pre-WM5 compliance
All in all, GO GET IT! You’ll LOVE it!
not compatible with opera you say? is there a way at all to make it compatible or would this be too hard?
also would it be possible you could post FlashVideoBundle.CAB here to avoid registeration at that site?

nvm i couldnt wait so i downloaded it and here it is:
cool works well on the excalibur. Shame theres no skip forward or back though, just a weird speed control thing.
thanks
works great on hermes. pretty good. thanks
on my tornado i get an error: could not open url! i have a edge connection, and i use a orange proxy. i think cause this is the problem, in tcmp i don't have were to set my proxy connection.
the first error was on video.google.com. the seccond error: video not avaible.(may have been removed) i get it on mobtube, youtube.
Works on my Ameo , absolutely briliiantly - Really surpassed my expectaions of how youtube would ever be on a mobie !
OK ,so I am going Via Skweezer AND using a good HSDPA connection - but even so , the videos appear to load QUICKER than they do on my PC (mac actually) with a 6mb connection !
I suspect the performance would be not as good on a vanilla 3G connection - but that is hardly the hardware / softwares fault
Thank you very much ! only last week , a friend tried to impress me by showing me "youtube" on his n95 , which was really a pixelated , postage stamp sized picture , over a pre selected 10 or so videos - I can't wait to see his face when I show him this !
Works perfectly on my Trinity, am going to try and sort it on my Alpine (WM2003SE), will report back.
any help for me?
Still testing here. I have TCPMP embedded in ROM so I had to edit the CAB's default install directory to \Windows.
Google Video works while docked. Can't test YouTube yet because it's blocked here!

same problem here.
when cradled - works perfectly.
when connecting via 3g gprs and a proxy - doesn't work.
anyone else having this?
could someone without a proxy try to use his gprs connection to see if it works?
works great! thanks for the info!
Great piece of code .... works on my HTC P3300.

I have no proxy with my 3G connection, works great. But the files are quite large, around 20MB for 10 mins video, watch out.
im on edge going through proxy, doesnt work. just says video not available, may have been removed.
Just tested on wifi and it worked like a charm
Doesnt work through proxy which my GPRS connection uses, what a disappointment...
hopefully someone will fix this.
this is fantastic thank you!

Dear users,
I have some problems with my Wizard WM6.1.
When I setup winamp (shoutcast) to stream/send the audio, Windows Media will not recognize this link.
I use: 192.168.1.1:8000, and when I use Windows Media on my phone, it won't work. Same as TCPMP.
Anyone got something like this to work?
Thank you
did you test if your router and or isp have this port blocked?
Anyone know how to get Uni to view stream over RTSP protocol? I've searched and hunted. I've installed Streaming Media, TCPMP, WMP and tried playing around, but to no avail. I know TCPMP doesn't allow RTSP... but does anyone know how to do this?
(I'm currently using Tomal WM6.5 ß2)
nobody uses their Uni to watch TV? I can't believe that!
Anyone?
hi mate
sorry no idea about TV, but if ur talking abt streaming media thru net... then i use mach5 browser it has built in player..... i hope this is wat u asked..
Hi Jonny,
Have you ever tried mobiTV?
I used it in the past and worked great for me.
It is actually a trialware but you can make a trick with the mortscript and it will run forever!
cheers
No. MobiTV shut down in UK in 2007. Can't get for UK or Orange network.
Does anyone use myPlayer or WebTV? What player do people use with these apps?

Strange!
Very sad then. Another similar tool I can remember is Spb TV.
The core player works with streaming, I use it with MyPlayer, and movies, but it is commercial, you can look for a trial

Yes I think I will buy coreplayer, seems to do well. Is there any other program that anybody uses for about the same price that they would recommend over coreplayer?
Hello all,
I've been trying to (rather unsuccessfully) remote access my home pc's music files via LobsterTunes on my HD2.
I'm using TVersity to sync from my home pc to the phone and while LobsterTunes does find the media server and lists my media, when I actually try and play a track it just continually buffers?
Any ideas?
Thanks
I havent tried winamp on my hd2 yet, but i used to use it on my tytn2. it has a media server service. Allowing access to my pc.
i forgot about it till you mentioned it. hmmmm. may go investigate that again.

That sounds interesting, I've found WinamPAQ 1.0 after a bit of Googling, is this the version with a media server service?
Thanks
I just checked. Go to winamp.com and download free winamp to your pc. register for the winamp remote service (also free) and simply log in on ur phone browser. there is a mobile site, i dont have the address to hand.
I never use winamp, but my ps3 on my home network works better using this media service to stream films and music.

Cool will give that a try when I get home, thanks!
I've also just been looking at Orb, seems to be a fairly simple way to share media between your home pc and hd2, yet to try it though but will post findings if anyone is interested?
Noob here, I tried searching the internet the forums for months and only came up with WinMo solutions. Is there any way to stream videos from a home media server over wifi or internet to Android devices?
If not, can anyone give me a reasonable explanation as to why? If an app like Sprint TV and Jetflix can stream quality video to Android, why can't someone create an app that can do the same using Tversity.
