My Feedback: So far, Amazing - No need to install any additional codecs, It plays all videos and in perfect quality with no buffering either. So download it today and post your feedback.

I tried this a few days ago on my Tornado with WM6. I could search for videos and found everything, but when i tried to play any of them, it said "Network connectivity is very low!!! Please try again after sometime"
I was connected to WiFi and EDGE while trying
Any ideas?

You need to install the app in the storage area and not on the storage card.. Even i had the same problem when i installed it on the storage card.

Turns out i had the old version. Installed the newest version (tried on both storage card and internal memory, wasn't any difference) and most videos were unwatchable due to the laggy sound. The picture was ok but the sound was horrible. Only one video I tried worked for me.
This app would be awesome if it worked!

I have this app installed to the main memory(recommended) on my 8125. I've only tapped on 1 video that was Sports that came up in channels. The video played after a 5min. wait. Problem: I tried getting a video using the search box option. The videos that matched by search came up on the screen. Every video I wanted to watch from my search took me back to the Today screen after tapping on that video. Does not work using search.
8125
2.25.11.1

I tested this application and it's great! Now I can seriously watch youtube videos on my PPCs and smartphones!
It has issues though..
I experienced low speed navigation.
I'd like 2700g support for my Dell Axim X51v.
I'd like a save video feature..
A full screen switcher would be great!
Finally, it could be good if you add a timeline bar.

I am having trouble using it. While I watch a video I have to keep clicking a hardware button to make the video move. The audio streams fine. It also doesn't take over full screen. Any solutions?

wrong post sorry

Not working on New Att Tilt 6.1

vTap - search and play unrestricted online videos (Youtube ect...) Excellent!!

A new startup company has come up with a great way to search and play online videos.
Download PPC version onto my Tytn and it works a treat!!
Try it from... http://www.vtap.com/
Cool, thanks.
Okay. This is cool.
- Has one of them "as you type" searchbars for video and wikipedia. Type in "kitten" and it shows in nanoseconds all the relative stuff about kittens.
- Really fast, as from software point and in downloading videos.
- Seems to have gazillion video sites.
- Plays videos really smooth. Has different quality settings and an audio only mode. (Tested with Wizard)
- Background and playlist mode for video downloading. Good if you're using cellular networks.
It does have few bugs and it doesn't really have a way to list videos like "top 10 from youtube", instead it shows a list of some news, sports and political stuff on the search page by default.
They also seem to be planning a java version for the functionally challenged phones
I recorded a quick overview of the software
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SWm5YkNsB6A
Btw, sorry for the quality. I didnt know that the youtube-online recorder does that.
aside from just playing "unrestricted" video, this is pretty brilliant
Brilliant piece of software.
Just one thing I noted immediately after its installation.
1) I tried to install this on the storage card. But it actually installed in the programs folder of the main memory.
2) After I installed this software I keep getting the sound I have associated with the event "Connection Established" ever few seconds though actual connection does not take place. As a fix I have disabled any sound for the event "Connection Established". Anyone else noticed this. My device is the HTC Touch.

I agree, would really like to filter the results by site (i.e YouTube only).
Since it downloads the videos in order to play them - I nice feature would be to beable to save the videos for later repeat views.
Pretty good app so far.
One way to filter clips in vTap
search youtube and select youtube group and then do search...pretty cool... they are doing search with in the group....

Wow, very nice, love how it shows all videos, organizes some into videos, shows all video sites, etc and is VERY fast in both displaying videos and information as well as buffering and showing the actual video.

I have contacted the support for vTap, and they have indicated that a fix should be available shortly.
Great news aalvino!, thanks
Works Great on my Touch!
Btw... there's a new version now that supports installation to storage card
great app to make youtube and other video sites work on a Prophet. But, I might just be dumb, I can´t find a seekbar or a similar tool that would allow me to jump to a specific part of the video I´m watching.
Is there something of the sort in vTap?
is there a way to fast forward or rewind the video in vtap? the arrows arent highlighted...
Very cool app but not at all new. I had a version of this installed almost a year ago..never did understand why people were having so much trouble with youtube videos when vtap played them just fine from the beginning. Good application
This is nothing new at all.
Vtap has been around for quite some time, i don't know why you have a new thread started for it and calling it a startup complany? I have had this installed since last year!
The post actually started last year...

Coreplayer 1.2.1 with YOUTUBE on Polaris

hello,
please poste here your feedback about youtube integration with new coreplayer 1.2.1.
for me that's working very well with H263 hight video quality and WIFI connection.
I like it too!!!
You dont have to download every part of movie, that u want to watch and it runs very well!
How are you guys upgrading your version? I am a registered owner however, I did not pay for Handango's re-download service. The Core site does not offer a download of a trial (so I can apply my reg code).
TIA!
Hmmm, I got mine through Mobihand and I got an email from them saying a new version was released. Logging into Mobihand gave me the option to download the update from my My Account page. Handango has something similar I thought. If not, is it OK to post the cab file here?
Is this version able to play .flv files and is the direct connection to youtube without problems ?
Is there any way to improve the quality of the video?

We do not support FLV... what we do is allow you to select the quality of the stream your device can handle based on the available streams hidden (to the public) on YouTube. Essentially YouTube in CorePlayer Mobile or Pro will _ALWAYS_ be better then even YouTube.com because there is no need for:
1) A web browser
2) Adobe Flash

hello,
there is no trial version, you can get it for 25$ at mobihand.com
I've got a fair bit of problems with this Youtube integration. Firstly I get a lot of file cannot be found errors pointing to rtsp://*.3gp links, even though I have the quality set to h264.
With h264 YT-videos I also get a lot of stuttering, particularly if there's a lot of action or detail. Some videos work perfectly. Some only work some of the time, and some are unwatchable. The audio plays, but the video stutters. Yet, it never stops to buffer. Shouldn't it? I can't find any way to make it download some of it before playing either.
What kind of throughput is needed to get these h264-streams smooth? I'm guessing 1Mbit is not enough.
I also did try the medium quality setting, but that was simply unwatchable. Pretty much impossible to make out any detail. Very grainy/blocky. Is this normal?
That aside though, I'm loving the feature, if I can only get it working satisfactory.
Betaboy, any chance Coreplayer can work with Hulu.com?
I've just downloaded CorePlayer v1.2.1 and have been playing around with it. I'm without WiFi at the moment, so I've attempted to play back over 3G, but I just get the download cursor. I'll have to try WiFi when I get home.
Although it has the built in CorePlayer button, is there anyway I could get it to kick off from the YouTube web page ?
The web page link kicks off the HTC Streamign Media app. Do I need to make a .FLV association with Coreplayer ?
Also, I'd be interested to know if it is possible to playback other Web Media Content sites, such as Google Video.
* EDIT *
Ignore this. I just saw the other thread of enabling the .RTP and .RTSP file associations. It seems to direct to CorePlayer now.
But I still haven't been able to view any content over 3G!
you'll have to wait 10-15 seconds until the buffer is filled enough to begin playing...
and the 'TODO' list has been updated in the other thread... i was going through my network related settings in coreplayer and may have found something
Could anyone tell me what shortcut I could use to start Coreplayer straight into YouTube mode ? I'd like to link it to HTC Home or the Cube.
Any ideas ?
Thanks
What do you mean by "youtube mode"?
You can't use coreplayer to browse youtube videos... only to stream them to your PDA...
But if you have a specific address for specific video that's another story... Otherwise youll have to search for the videos through Opera or PIE...
Coreplayer v1.2.1 has a YouTube icon at the bottom righthand corner (next to the Media Library one). By pressing on it, you can browse for videos. It seems as if an online browsing interface is built into Coreplayer v1.2.1 specifically for YouTube.
I'm trying to find a shortcut to go directly to this page.
I've also found that browsing YouTube via Opera does start Coreplayer (by having RTP and RTSP protocols compatible), but the video errors out.
So the only means I have of accessing YouTube content is using that icon from within Coreplayer... Hence I'm seeking a direct shortcut to link in from HTC Cube.

YouTube...quality

So ive noticed that there is a new (maybe old) feature on YouTube when i access from my PC for watching vids in high(er) quality...since it is YouTube that is offering this option does anyone know if we will be able to watch Vids in higher quality from our G1's??? they are still very choppy (opinion)
-MADE SOME "PROGRESS" OR DISCOVERY IN POST 10 BELOW
not sure if you are aware of this, but youtube plays at a higher resolution if you are connected via wifi vs 3g/edge.

ya ive tried and noticed a slight difference but wifi connection is not always available to me...
if you've only noticed a slight difference, then the video you are watching was low quality before it even made it to youtube
The higher quality option within the standard Youtube site utilizes h.264 with AAC.
As far as I know the G1 uses only the old standard .FLV through its built-in player when using WIFI.
When running on EDGE or 3g the G1 Youtube player player connects to the mobile .3gp stream.
The iPhone on the other hand uses the h.264 stream when wifi is connected, or the .3gp stream when in EDGE or 3G coverage (although downloading of the higher quality stream is available through the device with MXtube.
I own the two devices and will be doing a few comparison videos in a week or so. It is interesting that no reviewer has commented on the fact (or what I believe to be a fact) that the Youtube viewer on the iPhone is a lot nicer to use and watch on the whole, despite Google owning Youtube. Really they should have offered the best mobile Youtube experience on the G1.
One GOOD point about the use of .FLV streams is that they load a LOT faster. The same stream in h.264 on my iPhone can take many seconds to buffer - even with my 10mbps broadband connection - where the same clip on the G1 buffers almost instantaneously. I suspect that Youtube throttles their h.264 streams (for reasons best known to themselves) since I have no problem streaming the BBC's lovely h.264 iPlayer streams.
I suspect it is HTC who actually made the Youtube app, and that it will be improved, or even replaced with the Cupcake release.
Another problem which is slightly off topic and will NOT be improved with updates is that the G1's loudspeaker is vastly inferior to the iPhone 3G's (though much better than the pathetic iPhone 2G speaker).
Sound quality for me is very important when I'm watching videos on my device, and as I've swapped and changed between my G1 and iPhone over the past couple of weeks I've found the speaker quality of my G1 to be a source of great irritation being as it is just so tinny. and annoyingly positioned. Despite being only monaural the iPhone 3G's speaker is one of the best out there.
Me and my friend did a comparison, he has iphone and i have g1 obviously. Both of us are in 3g are and his quality blows g1 away. I agree youtube videos looks pretty horrible on g1 with or without 3g. Speaker is definately behind in the iphone wars also. I have noticed that i pick the videos up much faster than iphone but i would wait for quality. Alot of youtube videos are low quality video's however.
maybe someone can impliment a "force &fmt=18 string" at the end of every youtube video link that gets played to force the quality to be good. but of course, you would have to wait for it to load too, so they should make it an option when you press the "menu" button, maybe they could do something in the next custom firmware for root users.

thts actually a great idea as this code provides excellent resolution on PC's, and i wouldnt mind waiting as stated above i would rather have higher quality...
Has anyone compared the video quality when launching videos from the youtube.com website instead of searching for them with the youtube app? I believe the app normally searches m.youtube.com which has videos that are reencoded with a lower quality.
WOOOOO
so keeping in mind the "&fmt=18" code at the end of the actual vid URL i tried this...
1) go to the actual website www.youtube.com (not app)
2) search/click on any vid, it will ask you if you want to use the "youtube app" or "browser", Click browser
3)once the page opens you will see the flashplayer error, hit the menu button and "go to url" add the code "&fmt=18" to the end of the url then copy
4)go to www.keepvid.com and paste in the blue box then click download
5)scroll down and you will see 2 options to download make sure u click the mp4 high quality link...(not the flv link)
6)WAHHLAAAHH enjoy looks 5times better even though takes 5 times longer lol hope this is worth it for some of you
nice find. you can also use the fmt=22 addition to get HD videos from youtube.
on a side note, i was trying to find an easier way to do this and found that if you look it up in the application, you can just use Menu/share to send it to yourself. before you send it, you can add the URL extension of choice and when you get the email and click on it, it will ask youtube or browser. select youtube and it will play, but it seems to drop the added extension. if we could find a way to make it keep it, it would effectivly remove the need to use www.keepvid.com
and the 720p vidoes (if available) do play very well and look AWSOME on the phone!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pXfHLUlZf4&fmt=22 (the one i d/l to my phone to test a HD video)
I found a way to not have to d/l the video. just copy the link from www.keepvid.com and put it into the Meridian Video Player from the marketplace. It will stream it no problem, including the HD ones... (does not work with the youtube link and the added extension, but at least you dont have to d/l videos anymore)
If there would be a way to use longclick to have an option to open it in Meridian, you could do this probably from the youtube page even. Or if a similar option would be available from the mail app, then you just send the link and click!
Just to comment, but none of the youtube videos are anywhere close to 720p in resolution. They are indeed pretty good for streaming videos but those are probably about 800x480 or something along the lines of that.

[REQ] Dailymotion / Megavideo app

Today the main video app for smartphone is Youtube, which exist on Windows Mobile, Android, Symbian...
Recently Dailymotion made an app but only for iPhone OS, what a shame.
I know we can afford the mobile version of the site with almost every recent phones, but it's really not handy, and there is a huge difference between the contents of the full site and the mobile site.
About Megavideo, there is not even mobile site (is there ?).
The part solution is using the browser Skyfire, but, one more time it's not handy (have to zoom on the video frame and video is lagging).
So my question is...
Is it possible to make rights Dailymotion and Megavideo apps, I mean looking like Youtube app.
Thank you for your answers.
no way ? it's a pity...

How do you use this? As soon as I run the app there's a search box, when I run a search no results come back. I'm stuck. I'm using version 0.8.5
Hi !
I have updated my app to work with the new dailymotion website. .Net Compact Framework 3.5 is required. working with 3G/Wifi.
You can download the app here :
http://www.mediafire.com/?jyjyhwkofz2
The app is still in French only. I did not get enough time to work on it.
I will have some time to update it. I will post a Fr/Eng version soon.
Quick how to :
on the first screen you can make your search
When the search is done you automaticly view results, scoll up and down to browse the list.
Click on a picture to view/hide buttons :
-Quality : LQ an HQ. no HD yet
-Play or Download
Double click on the list to see the menu.
The last button allow you to select a different page.
Options :

-By default videos are downloaded to main memory.
Known bug/tweak :
sometime you can not close the app.
need some tweak to get maximum download speed
thank you so much. worked great on my hd2 with coreplayer.

[Q] PVStar+ Pro missing from Google Play Store? Anyone know why?

I'm not even sure if this is the right section to ask in, I've never really left my specific device forums before but here goes!
So I just upgraded from a Sammy S3 to a Nexus 6 and I had a paid app called PVStar+ Pro on my S3. It lefts you play Youtube video's while having the screen off unlike that POS Google Youtube app!
So I setup my new Nexus 6 and I just realized it's not here on this phone. So I checked my apps on the market, nope. So I copied my APK off my S3 over and but it doesn't seem to work right. I can't search videos. For example, I've searched Tiesto, Hardwell, the Wonderland Music Festival etc and it comes back with zero results. Plus I don't think it's fully PRO.
I tried checking out the home page of the dev but it's all in Japanese so I shot them an email and so far no reply.
One of my favorite apps! Just wondering if anyone knows WHAT happened to it? Even Google searching brings up nothing.
I have the same problem. My PVstar+ didnt show any search results what so ever, so I thought thay I might need uninstall/install it, but after I uninstalled it I noticed that it was missing from google store. After a while I found the .apk file on another site but the problem with the search results remain.
Too bad, this was my favourite player.

Wtf?! I hope it will be back... if they pulled it due to the reason mentioned above that is such a crApple-like tactic. I hope it isn't true. And if it is true I hope it will still be available somewhere else. Does the developer have his own page?

It was pulled for just that reason and no it won't be back. Google may have gone as far as removing it from devices.
Howw exactly can google remove it from devices? I saw other youtube background players are still there... anyway good job of it's true... no one will buy their service and probably use itunes instead. Really smart.

Its not that hard, They even did it awhile ago when an app was found to have a virus built in.

This was awhile ago but just a proof of it does happen. I am not saying they will just that they could.
No chance on the Itunes bit. Most wont even come close to wanting that POS software on their system.
So... does anyone have the apk for pvstar? It would be nice to attach it to this thread..
And since I like my own ideas...

Is it just on my device or the PVSTAR+ youtube search doesn't come up with any search results anymore? (when searching for a youtube video inside the app I mean)
Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. Try using the "Video search" button in the main screen. Be warned that Google can break search on Youtube remotely on any app – they routinely do it for old Youtube .apk's so you can't use them anymore.
I believe nothing new happenned in this case? I loved PVSTAR, so maybe there's some info from devs? Any homepage I can visit?
Thanks, and sorry for digging that up
I like PVStar+ cause its the only Youtube streamer I could find that 1) doesn't require me to log in to Youtube and 2) will keep playing in the background even when you X out and go to the desktop. The only problem is once you go to the desktop you can't go BACK to the app without making the video you're streaming start over from the beginning.
But yeah I haven't been able to find another Youtube streamer like this, so I'm sticking with this for now. Already saved the APK if I switch device (rooted with Titanium Backup).
Hi, I have noticed that pvstar+ is in the Amazon appstore and it is updated to 2.6.2 version, while my installed version is 2.5.11, probably the last that was available on the play store.
How can I install the new version from Amazon without lose all the cached music?
Fun on the appstore
Hi, I came to have the same problem as you guys, not finding the pvstar app anywhere on the playstore. But looking at other similar apps, the recent updates had the users mad because they couldn't listen to music in the background as well.
This is not one singular occurrence and I'd love to write one angry email, but I don't know where to send one...
This is a low blow.
Pvstar+ pro version, difference from free version?
updated below with answer to own question
The Pvstar+ which is free on Amazon app store in version 2.6.2, how does that differ from the donation "pro" version that was available from play (last version 2.5.9)? Did the regular non-pro version from play display ads? I don't remember it doing so, but I bought the pro very shortly after finding out about the app. The Amazon version does not display ads from what I've seen, and both amazon's 2.6.2 and 2.5.9 pro from play can still do background streaming.
Was pro just a support the developer thing with identical functioning as the free version? Cached copies of their respective play store pages don't seem to be available so no help there.
There was this issue with many videos not being played at all by pvstar+ before, possibly all videos that were only available in. FLV format from Youtube.
Pvstar+ is perhaps only a frontend in app format for the streaming site at http://sp.pvstar.dooga.org since the app needs to connect to pvstar.dooga.com to be able to play anything not in your devices local cache.
The developer does not seem to answer emails. Someone who is fluent in Japanese could give it a try to see if there are any answers to be had from the official source.
