I use CorePlayer+a specific cab file to get youtube on my TC from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=339269&highlight=tcmp
Don't know if that helps?

no go, even in opera...
it just says failed to connect everytime i try... same in ie.
dont really want to go and install new .cab files with whatever in them to get streaming to work, there must be a way to adjust settings to have it work like everyone else.
can anyone tell me what the port settings should be?

I have exacty the same problem as you!
My rom is in French....
I don't know if it helps but you are not alone....

Hello
I am also experiencing the same problem. I open a website in the Explorer which in turn opens the Streaming Video applicaton which after a short time indicates that it could not connect to the network.
If any one could help with this I would be very happy.
I have the English ROM and have Vodafone (business) as provider.
Cheers

I have the same problem, but only if I choose a WLAN connection. With 3G it works fine. Maybe anyone can tell me his settings for WLAN streaming with PocketIE.
Thanks in advance.

I've been having similar problems since last Wednesday, when my Orbit2 artrived from O2.
I've been tinkering and getting very frustrated but have found out some useful info (for orbit 2 users anyway...):
Streaming works with built-in apps in Wifi just fine with these settings:
in start>settings>wifi(configure network adapters)>network adapters tab: on the pulldown menu, "set my network card connects to" = Work
In Streaming media app menu>options> "connect via" = Work
the links from both opera 8.65 and IE work fine and open the streaming media app, which connects, then buffers, then plays just fine.
I still can't get streaming over GPRS, 3G, or HSDPA. I upgraded my O2 contract, so they didn't send me a new sim. It took me and O2 customer support 3 days to work out I needed a 3G sim card. I got one for free from my local O2 store.
I still had problems so called O2 CS again. Now comes the real joke. Apparently O2 does not support video streaming on 3G or HSDPA. When you try and stream video, O2 CS reckons that the network reverts to GPRS speeds, but maintains the 3G or H-connected symbol. Since GPRS speed is insufficient for streaming, it returns the dreaded "failed to connect" error in the streaming video app.
I've tested the speed of the 3G and HSDPA connections and get 121-124 Kbps on normal browsing/downloading but I can't work out how to test the speed as it tries to stream so can't confirm that it has reverted to GPRS...
I used this to test speed: www.dslreports.com/mspeed?jisok=1 (selecting the 5K test then the 1 Mb test)
I get a speed of 386kbps using USB-PC, but haven't tested WiFi.
386kbps and even 121kbps should be fine for streaming 3gp video, shouldn't it?
Has anyone else heard this about O2 and video streaming reverting to GPRS, or was the O2 CS guy just talking crap?
I've tried installing an old TCPMP and the flash video bundle, but it crashes my phone when TCPMP loads. I can't find a trial copy of CorePlayer 1.1.3 and don't want to pay for it without knowing that its going to work...
SO... if anyone can confirm or deny video streaming using any software on O2 Orbit, I'd be very grateful.
Finally, I also "fail to connect" when I use the USB-PC cable to try streaming using my PC's internet connection I've tinkered with as many settings as I could think of and still can't get it to stream video on anything except WiFi. This makes me suspect some sort of port settings because the speed of USB-PC is fine, but I'm not sure about setting ports.
I'm going to call O2 CS today and shout at them again. I've been with O2 for years now and remember having to alter and delete various parts of O2's "mobile web" settings and "O2 active" settings to get things to work smoothly on my HTC wizard/XDA mini S so maybe this is the solution... I'll post an update on the situation here.

wlan streaming problem
hi..
i have the problem that the phone tries to go to 3g every time i try to stream media..
i just updated to the new german rom. the old one worked fine using windows explorer .. but opera won't let me stream using w-lan.. (and i don't have a data plan)
is there any way found yet to stream youtube etc with opera..
i have 'work' as my setting in both the wlan and streaming media setup.
if it is a new plan to make me get a data plan are there any good apps to help me get round it and reactivate my wlan??
thanks

I had this problem, but fixed it. Not very helpfull atm, as phone is in for fixing atm, will have it back by tomorrow, and post my setttings, if help has not arrived yet..

I have an Orbit2 with O2 and as far a im aware they do not support streaming .It is annoying having a great device but can not go on u-tube.Has anybody found a way around it? I have read the Streaming bible here but did not work.

streaming Media problem

hello
I just installed Dutty's Official WM6.1, i am trying to check out what i can do with streaming media(my Tilt is less than 5 days old) i can go to youtube with no problem, but when i click on a video streaming Media launchs, gives me a warning about connecting to the internet, says "connecting..." then nothing happens. it does this on both wifi and 3G
Any idea what i am doing wrong.
Thank you

Did you set the configuration to MediaNet for the connection?
Also...Since it's Dutty's ROM did you think of posting there? Or searching & adding your post to one of the existing Streaming Video threads instead of making redundant thread?

is proxy disabled? next time, post in the thread that the question pertains to.

anyone got streaming media working on o2 uk?

hi folks,
been searching for a few days on xda and google re the above, as i keep getting connection failure.
there doesn't seem to be a difinative answer. some have got it working, some havn't.
if anyone has got this via hsdpa i would be grateful if they could advise settings
cheers
chris
ps i have got increased data speed enabled by the network
one of the main queries ive got is simple, if other apps connect (tcpmp+flash, youtubeplay) cant see any reason why this does not???

this has always been a problem for me too, even using wi-fi...can never connect to youtube for example....anybody?

I think this is to do with O2 doing Network Address Translation web access over HSDPA / 3G / GPRS and i don't know how to get past this. Youtube needs to push data to your handset via UDP so fails. Mine works out the box on WIFI tho. Is UPNP is enabled on you router?
I've had no joy getting this to work, perhaps someone from O2 can comment?

I had also been trying for ages to get it to work (over HSDPA/3G) but never managed.
youtube mobile works over Wifi, I found.
I found this thread extremely helpful in clearing up some of my queries and explains why somethings work and others don't.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=313961
What I did in the end was buy CorePlayer. Works perfectly over HSDPA or 3G with youtube. I'm still having major problems with other types of streaming media though.
If you don't want to buy CorePlayer, try TCPMP and the FlashVideoBundle trick. I found this nowhere near as reliable as coreplayer though.
Sorry I can't be any more help re Streaming Media player, but as I say, I just gave up in the end.

Hi,
I'm running the Diamond 6.1 ROM (can't remember it's official title, but the file name is udK_Diamond-R3_Polaris_WWE.zip
I can run youtube videos fine with this ROM. At the moment i'm connected on wifi, the hsdpa connection round here is patchy, so i can't test that, although i'm pretty sure i've run streaming video over hsdpa on this ROM

Are you certain that the device is using mobile.o2.co.uk as it apn for the data connection to o2. Sometimes the devices also have wap settings (through proxy) and this can be the default connection choice. If you check connection settings and delete any wap profiles (not needed) just to be certain.
sorry if this is stating the obvious or insulting your intelligence, it is not meant to. It is just that it has not been mentioned in you post.

YouTube Player not working

This is probably something simple, but it is driving me mad. The internt browsers (opera and IE), work. Google maps, works. Syncing emails, works. Weather updates, works. Youtube player, never finds anything. In the top rated menus, it just says no videos and when I do a search, it just sticks on searching, never does anything.
Can anyone help?

I use Vodafone here in NL and Youtube worked fine in Opera but the Youtube app didn't play the videos.
I found out that Vodafone here in NL, by default, uses a proxy setting in it's sim cards. I removed the proxy and the Youtube app works great now.
The proxy also prevented MSN Messenger from working on my Touch Pro.
Maybe your telco does something similair?

Hmm strange thing i can download the headers but when i want to stream (play) the video it doesn't work then on 3G network. It only works when i'm connected to WiFi.

check the t&c's of your contract.
Many networks do not allow streaming of video over their network.
Many do not allow messenger.
many have a proxy that screws things up.
if when the proxy is turned off, it works over wi-fi but not over GPRS or 3G it means that your network is blocking that function over the network.
you may have to upgrade your data bundle, or just live with it, but check your contract terms.

I have removed the proxy, I will have to check with T-Mobile. Thanks guys

I have the same issue but you just disabled the proxy at Settings/Connections/Connections? Is it really that easy

@ lostprophet.
as you're with T-Mobile UK, remove the adult filter from your account as well. that's what i had to do on mine.

Ah of course! I forgot about that. I keep meaning to do it but I don't have a credit card so I have to go to the shop and show my drivers license, but I haven't had my first bill yet so I have no accout details.
I guess I'll have to wait till the end of the month, thanks for the input
EDIT: Worked Out how to remove the lock, still no videos and nothign in the T&C's about video streaming. Looks like I will have to give them a call

Recently the proxy has been blocking push mail for me aswell, not just with my Raph but with the Hermes aswell.....i assume theyve messed with the port blocking and etc..

Right, proxy is off, content block is off, still no luck. mrvanx or rhedgehog, your both on t-mobile uk, I assume it works for you?

Fraid so.
on the £12.50 wnw+ which does allow streaming. the £7.50 wnw standard does not.
check the content lock though. it took about 24 hours before it was removed on my account. even though the my t-mobile web site said it had been taken off, it still was hanging around in the background for a few hours....
Dunno about them messing with the port blocking, haven't used a proxy in years so can't comment on if it's changed or not!

How did you get the 12.50 package? I saw no mention of it on thier website, or in the T&C's. Is there a higher limit on the data cap?

You can always ring them to upgrade to the web'n'walk plus plan. I take it it works with a wi-fi connection. If not then try soft resetting.

yup.
there's 3, or at least there was when i signed up for it last february.
£7.50, 1GB, no streaming, IM or VOIP.
£12.50, 3GB, Streaming, IM, no VOIP (Although i have trouble getting IM to work)
£25, 5 GB, do what you wish (ooh. Neverending story reference, man i'm a saddo!)
i think they still do them.
Edit: IM seems to be working today!

Vodafone user just have to disable their proxy and then everything works/streams just fine. Just disabled it on my Raph now i can watch my YoopToob on 3G again.
Thanks bozotheclown for the tip

YouTube with EDGE in the US..?
How do you guys think the touch pro will handle the YouTube streaming on an EDGE connection in the USA..? Does it degrade the quality to spped up performance like the iPhone..?

it's only really got the two quality settings.
High quality, and fast download.
I guess on edge it would buffer for quite a while on the high quality. I know where i am in the UK, i either get GPRS (No EDGE on t-mobile UK) or HSDPA, and on GPRS it really stutters. but i guess on edge, which should be at least twice the speed, it may be bearable.
the fast download is just horrible to watch, and i wouldn't recommend it! I'd wait until either the NA version comes out so you can get 3g/HSDPA, or until someone here figures out if it is possible to activate that american bands on all devices.

Gotcha, another Q... I have the pro in the US under at&t. I un-checked the proxy and I can now surf the web and also use the youtube app which by the way still streams fine under edge but the quality is not as good (like the iphone) but I can not send any MMS messages. I keep getting this forbidden error after it makes an attempt. I just xchanged my plan over today from the iphone so maybe I should wait till tomorrow to see if that changes anything on at&t's end. I did confirm the mms settings are correct in the MMS server settings and still nothing. I also noticed that many phones like the tilt require a proxy, not sure about the tytn II. but there were some setting with a proxy CAB file that wwere not set up on the pro... Do you think this is required..? I would think not as I was able to send MMS messages just fine on my 9502 imate when I had it.

Hi. I had problems with YouTube also (it was showing "No Videos" all the time), and solved them simply deleting all contents from YouTube folder (mine was on Internal Storage - I own a Diamond). Hope it helps.

Youtube has a problem with the network

All too often the Youtube app on my SGN101 says there is a problem with the network.
But everything else has a perfectly fine connection to the internet. The same clip will run fine on other devices in the Youtube app.
Anybody else experience this and maybe even have a solution?

Same here lag is huge and ff does not work buffer not filling.
No solution found patience wil do.

Same here. Since Friday I have been having issues, "Server Not found"
When i connect via the browser all is good. It's driving me nuts!

I have since noticed that i have the same lag with google reader as well. I will often have to hit "retry" several times until it actually loads.
Usually (and suspiciously often) it will work on the third try.
What kind of works with youtube links is opening up the youtube app separately, if necessary hitting retry until it works, then going back to your youtube link and clicking it. Then the youtube app will find the clip.

Delete widget, go to app manager, force stop, clear cache, clear data. Re-add widget, all will be ok, remember to login your account again.

I use tubemate instead, If I like the clip I can generally download it and have it to show to others....

I used the one for mdpi. There are tweaks for streaming videos and stuff, noticed a big difference

OK, found the problem!
One week prior to my post (above), SPRINT sent me the AIRAVE unit. Connect as they instructed and all was well.
Then I lost YouTube and the PlayStore on the GN 10.1, my TAB2 7.1 and my GS3, all of my lappy's connected fine.
Finally found the solution on the SPRINT forums. So if you have an AIRAVE and are having the same connection issues here's what worked:
Connect in the following order:
cable modem + router ---
Connect AIRAVE to one of the eithernet ports on your router ----
Connect the other end of the cable to the YELLOW port on the AIRAVE
Reboot everything...
Hope that helps!
