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
window pop up say:
Network connectivity is
very low!!! Please try after
sometime.
But i can play youtube on my phone

New Application

The application is called Vtap. You can view youtube videos, google videos, web cam videos, or any of the available video source online and it will format it for your device. It also has wikipedia. Just google vtap and give it a try, or type in your browser www.vtap.com to download for your device.

Wow
Works really good. Thanks for the post.

I think I found ........
I think I found my permanent video source for my wizard. And its free.

Skins
I just change the skin to night sky, and it matches the HTC touch theme. The other colors are classic, pulses aqua. I wonder if we can make our own skins for this app.

this is truly amazing.

Just my opinion after trying vTap that TCPMP route is better. You can go to the actual YouTube site via PIE, just click on the video of your choice and TCPMP plays it. But as I said, just my opinion.

Can you save the videos?

Post software link
I can't do the SMS route and going to vtap.com with my Axim doesn't work either. Can someone post a direct link to download the client software?

Good software. Have a few bugs but works great at my HTC Touch.
Here is the direct link to download: http://vtap.com/alldevices.html#5_ppc

vtap puts two shortcut on my programs list vtap & vtap(1). I remove and re-install and same thing. Just wondering why it places two shortcuts???

Great software. When I click cancel on the video player screen it shuts down the application and I am forced to restart.
Would be nice to filter the results by site (YouTube , BBC ect...)

Really nice piece of software! Seems i have trouble streaming though even on low quality settings, might be the net at my work lol.

Thx for your inform. I will try it!!

http://vtap.com/alldevices.html#5_ppc This link no have WM5 PDA downloads!!
So sad sir!!.

Of course it does its the same for WM5 and 6, the second link to be more exact. And for someone else who asked it is possible to save bookmarks with this program. And for the other gentleman who mentioned the multiple shortcuts in the programs menu I suggest you take a course on file managment with Total Commander. *HINT* Windows->StartMenu->Programs

I installed Vtap but it will not connect to the server and it tells me to try again later. Why does this happen? I use WiFi connection from home to test.
I also have tested it in the hotspot but to my surprise, it works fine in the hotspot. So, is there any port that I need to open or something?
This also happens to AvotMV. When I click the video clip, it just says buffering but nothing happens. Does anyone know what causes this? '
I also have TCPMP installed with the flashvideobundle. But I don't think it has anything to do with this, does it?

Just wanted to say that this program works great!!

this is a great app, i was testing them on my wing and its very cool! thanks alot

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.

You Tube app, no videos

Anyones youtube app working?
Not loading popular, featured, cant search.
Or just me?

Access the internet using PIE (not Opera). Minimize (keep it running), then rerun YouTube.

I had a similar problem after flashing a cooked ROM. Youtube app installed but just sits at "Connecting" when trying to view a video. Installed Irus' youtube fix cab file and now it works great.
Thanks Irus for the fix! Wish I knew what you did you actually fix it.

Youtube not working
My issue is somewhat different so here it is. My friend has an iPhone we both went to the same website "www.bodyguardz.com" and clicked on the link to play the Youtube video of a television station's test of of the bodyguardz protector. The iPhone plays the clip my Fuze does not. Just a blank area where the video should be.
I tried this fix
http://www.modaco.com/content/rapha...app-is-installed-functional-on-the-at-t-fuze/
for the problem but it still does not work. To me it seems as though WM6 does not have a file association for Youtube. Any suggestions?
Thanks,

[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...

Ive personally used Megavideo lot of times on my HD2. Use Internet Explorer instead of Skyfire. When the Video Starts playing, switch to full screen mode for Smooth Playback.

Dailyplay still doesn't work on my HD2:

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 Tcpmp is selected (in the main memory not in SD Card). You can select any other player. (Tcmp is a bit slow)
-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.
