View Youtube Files Using Flash Player - General Topics

My Browser (whether it is IE or Opera) will automatically calls out Windows Media Player when I visit Youtube and try to watch the streaming video. And everytime, WM Player will not be able to read this file. Any help out there on how to fix this problem?
This happens even after I have downloaded Sompy player.... And I suspect Sompy player will not play flash video files as well.
Thanks.

rule of thumb: always read at least the sticky threads (and try to search the Wiki) before asking for help. You will want to read the Youtube bible, which is a sticky just abive this thread at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=387986

TCMP and youtube - flv plugin

i didn't see anyone posting this before - i just found out about this plugin, i tried it and it works! for all of you who are tired of converting flv to avi in order to watch it on your ppc, theres a solution. it also comes with utilities to ease the downloading of video from youtube.com, i tried, also works a charm. good luck, and thanks to the creators!
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=196939
I don't able to play the video:
I put the 3 files in the tcmp folder (in sd card)
I don't able to play the video on the you-tube page
and I don't able to play the video flv (downloaded by youtubedownload.exe) on the player
I run O.72 version with the plugin of 0.81
How you get it successfully?
thanks
Enough only to put the two files .flv in the root TCPMP.
With the others files you are able to download the tape directly on ppc,enough to launch YouTube Download on device..

you mean .plg files i assume. but right, that's what you should do. then also you can edit options>preferences>file associations in tcpmp so then you can launch tcpmp doubleclicking flv file (it is called flash video in options)
uvz: i don't know what's wrong - it works with tcpmp v. 0.71 - my plugin version is 0.2, have no idea how can i help :/
ok, I found the reason..
The 3 files I downloaded was all exe file (??)
I download the zip folder in other place and I found the correctly .plg files.
So now I can play the video on tcpmp, by downloading with the exe.
But I'm not able to stream video directly from you-tube page: it's normal?
I can only download the video and then play with tcpmp, or there are a possibility to open and play directly from the you-tube page by streaming with tcpmp?
Finnaly... I'm now able to play .flv files... horray!!!
I've copied the flv plugin to the TCMP folder and I think they're correctly installed. However when playing youtube vids, it connects to HTC Streaming Media which unfortunately doesn't run vids on my Kaisser.
Do I have to remove streaming Media so that youtube would connect to TCMP when vids are selected? How can I select streaming media into my TCMP?
Would appreciate any feedback. Thanks.
TCPMP streaming problems with WM6
I have an HTC touch cruise with wm6 and I am unable to stream flv files.
I have installed the TCPMP program and I think I installed tcpmp plugin 0.4.2.
When I install the plug in, do the files automatically install themselves in the TCPMP root file??? and how are they identified.
It shows in my settings/system/Remove programs , the TCPMP and TCPMP plugin are both installed Could some one please post step by step install instruction or direct me to one .
Thanks

unable to view rtsp video on my o2 xda

hi all,
i have installed real player in my ppc to view the rtsp video stream. now the link of the stream in on a web page. when i open this web page on my ppc and click on the video stream link.....it automatically opens windows media player(which does not support rtsp video stream).
i want that upon clicking the video stream real player should open and start playing the stream.
is there any solution for this problem. in case this issue has already been addressed before in this forum, can someone point me in the correct direction
TIA

1, welcome to xda-dev
2, always search the Wiki first when you have a question. Your answer is at http://wiki.xda-developers.com/inde...nt (RealAudio and RealVideo) on my Pocket PC?
hello sir.
thnx for the response.
the problem is a bit different from what i think you have perceived.
i'm able to play the streaming video (rtsp) if i put the url "rtsp://xyz" directly in the player itself.(i'm using platform4 player). so that means the network is not the problem.
when i click on the link in web page (that contains the url "rtsp://xyz")....it opens the windows media player(which is obviously unable to open rtsp stream).....
what i want is, on clicking the link, instead of opening windows media player i want it to open platform 4 player..
i hope i'm clear enough.
thanks again

Flash Video Bundle / Adobe flash Player

I have both these programs on my TC, but I can't see any videos! I know that IE has to be used to use adobe, but it switches to opera when I go to youtube, and it says I need the flash player. Then I read about this blueray high def mobile player on another thread so I put that on too. Didn't do a damn thing. Can anyone tell me the problem and if it will work how to make a cube button to open it??
You need the TCPMP player installed first. Then install the flash bundle in the same place where you installing the TCPMP player, that is storage card or the main memory for both.
Now go to the YouTube site using PIE and click on a video link. The TCPMP player should start playing. In fact for this procedure you really don't need the Adobe flash.

Problems opening youtube videos

hello all,
i have the htc polaris(touch cruise) and i installed the flashvideobundle and the TCPMP player for playing youtube video's because the streaming media player isn't so good..the first time i opend a video it was played by the TCPMP player but now its opening with the streaming video player...i looked in the option etc.. but i can't see a way to open the videos with the TCPMP player..
reinstalled bundle and core player and still it opens with streaming video player.
Does anyone have an idea how to do this.
thanks
In TCPMP going to Options->Settings, Select page->File associations and marking Flash video checkbox might help..
Do you actually browse the full desktop version of youtube or do you use the mobile version?
Clips from the mobile version are NOT flv (=flash) files but 3GP video files which always open in streaming media. Use the "Video Sites" shortcut in your startmenu to navigate to youtube. If you still end up at the mobile version, see at the very bottom, there should be a link saying something like "take me to the desktop version." It should work that way.

I tried both.with opera browser it always opens the mobile version could not get it to open de desktop version.with the regular internet browser i opend the desktop version and it stil uses the streaming media player.
Ok i found something..i used 3G to connect(before i connected with WIFI) and i was able to play the videos at the desktop version with the TCPMP player.using my wifi it plays with streaming media player.
But connected with 3G on the youtube mobile it stil uses the streaming media player..its a shame because mobile version is damn faster...
But still any recomendations are wellcome....
thanks schaggo and johnsonc
hi,
i used to have the same problem than yours it was my provider sfr that blocks streaming in daylimotion and whan i connect with wifi all works.
I have the same problem. TCMP (with flash-video-bundle) doesnt start if I click a video at http://m.youtube.com. I tried several options, but it didnt help.

Because videos on m.youtube.com are NOT FLASH VIDEO FILES, they are re-encoded to 3gp format. Every cellphone with GPRS, even the most stupid Nokia and Motorola can play 3gp files off m.youtube.com.
Go to http://www.youtube.com/?nomobile=1 with Pocket Internet Explorer, Opera doesnt work.
If it still doesnt work: uninstall the FlashBundle, softreset, reinstall the FlashBundle (be sure to use the lastest version from their homepage) and it'll work.
Again:
m.youtube.com = stupid for all cellphones, NOT the same as regular youtube, almost no movies, re-encoded to 3gp by youtube
Opera doesnt work, it doesnt support the FlashBundle plugin
I suggest to unset Opera as default browser and then use the Video Sites shortcut in your Programs menu.

tcpmp youtube question.

How can I make youtube/flash videos open up in TCPMP instead of WMP. I have the setting on TCPMP to open flash/flv files but it still does not WMP is currently giving me an error because I installed and uninstalled some plugs ins that cause some issues for WMP.

yes I did. Youtube(mobile with opera 9.5 diamond build) use to open with tcpmp but once I moved to wm 6.1(official rom) it started to open in WMP. Then after installing the 3g2 and other codec plug in for wmp it stop working, even after uninstalling it. And yes I read that page twice.
everytime I try to play a youtube video with wmp it says there is a source error. Anyway to fix this issue?

For starters, WMP doesn't support those file types. So, make sure you have installed the FLV bundle to the same location as TCPMP, and make sure .flv is an associated file with TCPMP. As mentioned above, this has been a very popular subject, so be sure to search for this. Playing youtube videos is probably the easiest thing to achieve these days, it is very simple.
I don't think you understand. I can play youtube files fine with I.E. and tcpmp. However, with Opera 9.5 and youtube mobile pages which they don't work well anymore. I was able in the past to get it to work before. The opera would open the files up in WMP and play them. But once I installed these plugins for wmp http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=366471 WMP stopped playing it citing a source error. So I uninstalled the files and still the same issue still citing a source error.
So, what I want to know now is how to make opera open the files up in TCPMP like I.E. does, or maybe even get to work in WMP again. Thank you.
anyone have both WMP 6 and 6.1 defualt codec dll and such?
Ok, didn't know you were trying to open through Opera. If uninstalling doesn't work, you prob need to hard reset, considering you altered the system file, and the uninstallation didn't revert it back to normal. I'm not even sure Opera will open a YouTube video in TCPMP. I believe it is coded to open out of PIE. I only use PIE for YouTube really, just use ytpocket.com. Makes browsing YouTube quicker and easier. Also, the vids you were plaing before in WMP are low quality .3GP files.
really? I was wondering why the quality was terrible when compared to TCPMP. Well on that subject I some how just lost .3gp support on my device also. The 3gp file my camera phone records won't play on wmp, and plays on tcpmp but with audio errors(I installed the plugin to get the camera phone videos to work with WMP again).
anyone please?
can you make opera mini open youtube files with TCPMP like it does with IE and flash bundle?
