Hey guys and gals, I have tried launching a .asx (streaming windows video file) file through netfront. Even though I add it to the list of external applications in the browser settings, when I click on a stream it just opens a new window and does nothing else.
So far the only browser that works with streaming video is PIE, Opera takes up too much memory unfortunately. So does anyone know how to fix this?
This is really getting on my nerves. Has no one else tried streaming video content through Netfront? I want it to work!
I responded to another post you made about this before seeing this specific one: You are close and it really doesn't take much more than setting the association properly in NF. It went very smoothly when I set it up when 3.5 first was released. I gave up using the browser since it requires more ram than my puny Treo can offer so cannot be of much further help than this.
But trust me it works once you set the association properly so keep trying...

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!

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!

Could this also work on http://m.youtube.com ? Would be nice!

Hi all, has anybody got the installer for VLC windows mobile?
I had it installed on my wizard and it worked great, but have recently switched to the HTC Panda, and upon searching for vlc mobile, i have found that development on it has stopped and the download links are gone o.0
If anyone has a link or a copy of this then it would be greatly appreciated, I do have all of the fiels for VLC i believe on a memory card, however just runnig that doesnt work, i figure due to the codecs or something
well then, after that i just found it with ease, i feel kinda stoopid now
anyhow, found it on the sourceforge
http://sourceforge.net/projects/vlcpocketpc/
works great for playing all types of media
I use VLC player on my computer and I love it. TCMP makes a version for your computer as well.

Always follow my articles - I've mentioned this title in my Radio Streaming Bible.
In general, I don't recommend it at all - CorePlayer / TCPMP are far better / more optimized. It's very rarely that you'll find the WM version of VLC better.
well ...tcpmp for ppc = vlc for pc
i use it and its fantastic.
uses less memory and plays video without jerks even if ripped at 1.5 mbps (on a magician)
Good Evening,
I recently seen an advertisement for www.joost.com, where you can stream some full length movies to a mobile phone. It was tested with an AT&T Tilt using skyfire. Well...I downloaded skyfire, just to find out there is no support for vga screens just yet.
Are there any mobile browsers that will allow streaming video, or maybe a plugin for opera mobile??
Thanks gang!
Two side notes,
I had heard Opera was capable of playing music built into a myspace page, etc with an included flash player. Mine does not however, am I missing anything?
I had also heard the Fuze was supposed to have a dedicated You-tube application. I also have not found this. Again, am I missing something?
Thanks!

skyfire does work on vga it just messes up when you rotate the screen so start it in wichever direction u want the screen to be
use orb you can stream any media from your computer to your phone its free
and you can download the youtube app search on here
Skyfire will load, but how would I manage to get to a website without an OSB or the physical keyboard(which would mess up the screen)
I only want it for that one website...opera is fine for everything else
As soon as i enter in a website with the osd...it messes up the screen.
Any ideas?
Salam/Hi.
I have seen lots n lots of people asking for youtube support on this forum and i have seen many experts here to cook ROMs too. There have been countless suggestions to run youtube streaming methods n small applications but eventually everything fails after performing for a couple of days. While this may be regarded as a result of frequent changes by youtube admin in streaming process yet i have a simple point to stress..why everything still plays in browser of our normal PC..and why not a ROM should be cooked which (by http protocol as in desktop PC) should be able to play on Universal. Give it a serious thought plz. Thanx for reading.

WM6.1 (various cooked ROMs)
Hi
I ALWAYS use the standard WM internet explorer, TCPMP 0.72rc1, and flashvideobundle, and it has never failed to play youtube. If you use Tomal's later roms you only need to add flashvideobundle (about 800k) and away you go. No reg settings, no server settings but you do need to select flash video box in "TCPMP/options/settings/select page/file association" I just select the lot! As an added bonus, it gives you the choice of saving the video too. Maybe you have tried it, but if not give it a go.

I also forgot, there is skyfire browser to. but I think it is only supported in USA and UK at the moment. However it runs nearly all flash sites very well.
I have WM6.5 on my TP and I used to listen to Lex and Terry radio show on it when my local radio show turned them off at 9am. I drive a long distance so it entertains me for the drive. Anywho, now they have "secured" the URL so you can't stream it anymore unless thru the web browser on their site. Since Opera will not play it I am stuck.
I did manage to get the streaming link, and it works on my computer but I don't know how to get it to work on my phone:
http://a1871.l4072211870.c40722.g.l...wlexandterrycom&SITE_ID=11513&STATION_ID=LTTX
It works on Windows Media Player on my comp, just not on the phone. I tried Coreplayer and WMP.
Having the same exact problem as you.
Me too. Bump.
I emailed Peter and he said:
"When we moved to the new site, part of that came with having to "secure" the stream... meaning that there is no URL to give, you have to listen thru that browser, which doesn't work on most smart phones... sorry.
hopefully an app or the software for your browser will come about soon."
Maybe if he gets a few more emails he will make an available URL we can run through CorePlayer.
P.S. I don't think the URL I posted works anymore.
It will work in Skyfire. However since Skyfire will timeout after like 5min of activity you have to keep touching the screen. Anyone know a workaround so Skyfire wont time out?

The SkyFire timeout is the worst feature ever.
i downloaded the playlist file and it opened with kinoma.
kinoma is asking for username and password.
so my question is what is the user and pass or where can i go to create my own user and pass.
sorry to digg this post from the grave but i found it through google while trying to figure out how to stream lex and terry since my current radio station dropped the show.
does anyone know where i can register.
I always use spb online, and in there there is a radio application which you can open a link
