Another GREAT way to play YouTube, Google Video & Veoh Videos for both WM platforms!!

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!

Hi there!
Could this also work on http://m.youtube.com ? Would be nice!
Thank you for your time

3g/UMTS/HSDPA Video Chat?

With my laptop, I use a UMTS/HSDPA data card through Vodafone Germany to connect to the web. I just got done video chatting with my brother in Australia, it was awesome because I brought my laptop down to the street to show him my neighborhood. Aside from the crazy looks the native Berliners gave me, it was a seamless experience. SO, its obvious that the technology exists to do this with a UMTS/HSDPA cell phone, but what one? can anyone please help me, I really want to show him the rest of my city, but I'm not lugging my laptop on the S-Bahn!
Thanks!

ms portrait if it support the cam in the pda and he have the pc version on his pc should work i think
other option is normal 3g video call but thats pretty pricy
dont know of any other chat apps that support video in their pda flavours
msg and skype sure dont

Hi!
Does it also work with WM6 or only for WM5?
I am using Orbit 2, has anyone experiences with this device?
Greetings

Hi. i user this for a 3 month. http://mobile.vzochat.com. it.s pretty simple and works on my ipaq 514 from box

At last: resume support for Windows Media Player!!

The built-in Windows Media Player has always suffered from a major flaw: it didn’t support resuming the song from the last position after restarting the player. XDA-Devs forum member Wolfman-XP (the same guy that has also developed AVRCP support for GSPlayer) has fixed this: he has released a plug-in that remembers the last position where you press(ed) the Pause button. (Note that you MUST press Pause; as opposed to players natively supporting resume, this is a restriction – but not that a big one.)
Compatibility
I’ve tested it on the following devices:
- HTC Wizard with AMP’s WM6.1 ROM and custom WMP skin
- HTC Universal with WM6.1 Tomal’s ROM version 7.7
- HTC Vox / s710 MS Smartphone with the factory WM6.0 ROM (this January)
- HTC Oxygen / s310 MS Smartphone with the factory WM5 AKU3 ROM
- Dell Axim x51v standalone (no-phone) PDA with WM6.1
- HP iPAQ 210 standalone (no-phone) PDA with factory WM6.0
Of these devices, it was only on the HP iPAQ 210 that it didn’t work at all; all the others did, even the WM5-based models and the non-phone x51v.
Installing, using
Just download the hack HERE, in the first post, install it and off you go. Remember pressing Pause at the position you want it to remember.
After restarting WMP, it’ll take you to the Library (and not the Now playing) screen. To quickly return to the latter, on touchscreen-enabled PPC’s, click the Back arrow in the upper right corner; on MS Smartphones, just press the Back hardware button. (Alternatively, you can go to Now Playing / Play.)
Restrictions
In addition to not being compatible with the HP iPAQ 210 (and, possibly, some other devices), it isn’t able to correctly re-position in AAC files (I’ve tested both standard and HE-AACv2 files). WMA’s and MP3’s, on the other hand, work just great.
Note that...
I’ll publish a LOT of multimedia-related articles in the near future – stay tuned!

Opps! wrong place...

nice... Wolfman-XP you are the man
but Menneisyys what do you think how many people do use wmplayer...because of his pretty dumb,not flexible,and not natural interface,or the usage
tcpmp (called the core player these days) really put the standards high (supported files and intelligent interface without too much crapping around)
pocketmusic is also great...but wmplayer seems to be out of date and overcame

yeah you are right and i really really appreciate people's work around here
but it's MS it can't be that good anyway,untill there are about10-15 hacks which our good people developed and not MS
so we have a WMplayer mutation...a player that evolved from wmp ...and in the end after many hacks it will be a whole new player on a totally different base and with different features
i can't be that reckless (because my programming level is average) and ask if it would be better to make a new one instead of developing wmp
but thanks guys people don't forget good stuff and good guys

It is worth fixing what already exists and supports video as well as audio. It may not be the most intuitive design (simplicity is better) but it is what comes with windows and works with most codecs. mainly important for familiarity, and audio video capabilities.

compatability with IPAQ 210 series
I just wanted to say that I have an IPAQ 214 and the resume plugin works OK.
It wasnt a surprise when I read it wouldnt work- loads of software seems to be unable to cope with HPs install of WM6 - but I am happy to say this isnt one of them (at least for me ;-) )

Does the plugin also work on a htc diamond??
thanx...

Kaiser here, WM 6.1
While all the options work fine, I was curious to see if it worked with shuffle switched on. While you keep your playlist, you lose the last spot on launch and you get a re-shuffle. I can understand why. Any chances of getting an option to disable Shuffle on launch? When listening to a two hour long set losing my position can be a little annoying.
Despite this, very good plugin! I was looking for a way to get around the Camera closing Windows Media Player when it opened. While this doesn't fix that, it solves the missing playlists for when it does! Sweet work.

Was wondering if this will work with WMP 12, if so could someone please help this rookie as how to get this loaded into WMP. Thanks in advance....scotty

Is there any new audiobook software then???????????

Damd good question.

Major problem: slowdown after 24(?) hours:

Something very strange happens with my TP: when 'pocket player' is on the backround not playing any music, and i just put it just that way, the phone gets very slow: program icons come up one by one slow, scrolling is slow, icons in explorer come up slow and when i use touchflo (scrolling) in Programs, i get the grey screen, witch is easely fixed by putting the phone stand-by then wake it up.
Somethimes this also happens when using Ophera and once it happened when i closed RSS reader.
The only way to make my phone fast again is to hard reset.
And now without Pocket player, the phone gets slow like every 20-24 hours, hard reset doesnt help, i dont use Touchflo 3d and here is my programs list:
SOTI pocket controller
conduits Pocket Player
DinarSoft Memaid
Advanced config 3.2 (dint used it, reg is intact)
Coreplayer
Diamond Hologram
Sensorlock
Pocket Mechanic
Resco Explorer
SKTools (dint edited like Adv. Config.)
Spb Pocket plus
Spb Pocket weather
Pocket Islam
Pocket RAR
Microsoft net 3.5
ROM: 1.90.40.1 WWE
ROM DATE: 08/01/08
Radio Version: 1.02.25.19
Protocol Version: 52.33.25.17H
PS: my phone doesnt have google maps installed, even when i started it for the first time and after hard-resetting, WFT is this with the ROM!?!?!?!?!?!?

same problem here
first i think the problem is in conduits pocket player - something like "zombie" ... wrong closed program - but if it does without conduicts software ... .
i have same ROM and date (1.90.40.1 wwe migth be 1.90.401.1 wwe ? ) protocol 52.33.25.17U
look like the slow internet loading - like fast writing icon after icon and name of items
have you got the same result if you don`t start pocket player at all ?

I think its Pocket player, uninstalling it right now and i think i should look for a different 3rd party software for music... If i still get the problem, then ill send it right back to HTC, because it would mean i cant install anything, and that would be like TP but with Apple software.

It is conduit pocket player (3.7 is what I have) for sure!
I had the same problem, and finally decided to give up on it and switch back to media player.. Works nicely. Never had to reset again.

(all my pc's are powered by linux ...)

The same happened with pocket music, now i am triying it with Morth player, if the same happens im sending this phone back to htc.

can someone post his experience with pocket player on different rom ? (then 1.90.401.1 wwe )

reply to myself
so , I flash my raphael with dsc v15 , which is based on 1.90.405.1 ... and the problem is still there ...
annoing ...windows media player using a brutal amount of ram (over 70M , after a hour of playing - wtf ? ) and pocket player making my phone unusable ...
I`m annoied of whole windows mobile .... .hope someone port android on touch pro, because linux . ., is . .. linux

5 Apps that make the phone half useable
Androkidd, s2u2 , idialer- User Interface
Quick menu - Amazing little drop down menu to open and close apps quickly
AE button plus - remap the hardware buttons to 3 functions each like scrolling up and down, page turn etc
Resco File explorer and Registry - unfortunately alot of things on win mo have to be tweaked using tips from XDA.
Zoomer and Rotate screen and Bsb Tweaks - essential apps to mutitouch any app, rotate any app or apply essential tweaks.
5 Apps that make the phone half decent
TomTom - GPS navigation with a free city map of your choice

Coreplayer for Snapdragon?

there's one doing the rounds extracted from the tg01 which uses hardware acceleration. not legit though as its only licensed for use with the Toshiba

To be honest, have tried the Acer/TG01 versions of Coreplayer and in my test it's rubbish, mild increase on some file formats, normal version 1.36 of Coreplayer easily outperforms the supposed Hardware accelerated versions and these so called HW accelerated versions were unstable.

1-Resco explorer 2010 - It is very user friendly with a lot of function file explorer for HD2
2-Torchbutton - It is very usefull small program to enable led flash as a torch, you can add this to your program tab or assign as a button!
3-resco photo viewer 7.03 (multitouch support) - multitouch support and editing support software for viewing and editing pictures
4-googlemaps - ???!!! no need to explain
5-hicalculator - the best calculator for HD2 in my opinion with many (i really mean MANY) functions...
6-xdashutdown - for soft reset
7-coreplayer for snapdragon - for playing video and audio files support many formats!
8-spb wireless monitor - for measuring how many kilobytes or megabytes you use with your data,usb and wifi connection!
9-midomi 2.3(though it doesn't work correctly but i have to work on it) - just search then you will get what this is, it used for music recognition
10-foxit reader (for viewing pdf files and it is quicker than adobe reader )
and of course for those who are frustrated from htc messaging VITO SMSChat + registry hack(in order to make vito, the default sms application)

Yep, HTC Album outperforms it as well, much smoother and better quality with correctly encoded videos.
I still use the retail 1.36 for music and standard dvd/tv rips.

Coreplayer for SnapDragon
Can any kind souls provide the link to this Coreplayer for SnapDragon please?
Or at least point me in the right direction by giving the correct filename?
TIA.

Morphgear, FPSEce, Resco Explorer, CorePlayer, Pocket Player, allReader, Opera, Pigeon!, Twitter tab , google maps, rss hub, youtube application, xdaShutdown.

Very cool thread but to have value to it you should include what the app does, I'd say it's more important than download link.. I'm gonna add my list later

Coreplayer first and foremost! So, I'd love to try the SnapDragon version. I'd appreciate a link or a point in the right direction.
