Is there any way to watch You tube video?

I was trying to open with Opera, IE, WMP. Don't really know which application I need to watch it...I believe there is a simple answer for the question. But, I just don't know it...

So, no1 knows?

Have you read this?

it seems that all the solutions there are for downloading, converting and then watching. But I need it to work on-fly, without downloading, the way we watch it on our PCs.

Now Windows Mobile Phones Can, so why can't we?
I know I'm getting sick of seeing those stupid Verizon adds for the EnV that shows the huge YouTube logo on the screen, and wondering why my WM phone can't. I know my phone can do hundreds, if not thousands of things, that the EnV can't, but as long as there is ONE thing that a non WM phone can do that mine can't, I feel like less of a man. Where do I sign up mfrazz's 12 step program?

and is there any way to watch p2p tv on ppc like on pc?

I just intalled the newest version on Opera 8.65... its in beta right now... BUT IT PLAYS YOUTUBE videos!!!! WooHoo!!!

why it keeps asking for java or flashplayer (under wm6)?

does anyone know how to format the window so that I can watch the whole video (on youtube) using Opera?

Orb Lets You Play YouTube on Your PPC
I use a program called Orb to play YouTube on my PPC. It loads on your home PC, then you use any PPC browser to access it. It's pretty dang sweet. I have had hardly any problems with it.
orb.com

Well, there are a lot of ways to watch you tube video offline on your PPC. For example, you can just download a youtube video using youtube grabber on your PC then convert it to avi using some endcoder, and then watch it with TCMP or Core PLayer.
However, the main point of the thread is to get a way of watching youtube video on-fly being online with you PPC.
So, far the best way of doing that is using new Opera. However, it's not a perfect way

orb is the way to go. orb does it on the fly also. check it out.

It really is. The only problem I found about it is that the PC must always run the application and be online to be able to watch video from PPC, which is sometimes a problem for me. The rest is awsome.

the other nice thing is you can also view your webcam anytime also. I use it for sucurity purposes . very nice feature.

I think downloads are the only way to watch you tube videos. Try this site: mymobileclips.com, free registration, specify the format you want your videos, and you can get Google, Myspace, Ifilm, Dailymotion, Break, Metacafe, too.

I personally believe ORB is by fair the best thing to cross streaming\PPC lines...I have absolutely no problem watching youtube on my PPC using orb, and talk about an iPhone?? Who needs that when you have an 250 gig hdd with movies, music, pictures, and then are able to watch your local cable service thats at home while your out and about on a lunch break, and then to be able to access your PC and browse and download files from anywhere............ORB IS GOD when it comes to media and mobile devices....not to mention to gain access on my xbox 360 using orb as well without switching my external from device to device, and not using the lame media center....orbs great....just thought id mention it.

I've been trying orb and im a bit new to it. But from my understanding, orb will only work if you pre-selected the videos on your PC first right?
Is there any way to watch ANY youtube video? For example if you searched for one and want to watch it, you cant use the standard browser to see it. How does orb come into play for watching videos on demand? Will it only allow us to see videos that we have pre-added on our pc with the orb plugin?

Orb defines videos, pics, audio, files, etc defined in a specifc folder....when you setup orb it then scans the folders to save the content locations onto the orb server, so what ever you put in a specified folder, orb will pull it in for you.
With youtube, just download the plugin on orbs website for IE, install.....then login into orb on your ppc.....go to videos....then it comes up with an search for youtube....google...yahoo...etc, type in what you want to search, it then show it infront of you, click what you want to watch, then click play stream.
No pre-added video for youtube, just an search as if you were at your desktop.

help watching tv on wm6

hey guys.
this is probably a newbie issue, but i can't seem to get any of the tv players to work with my phone.
i've downloaded the trial to HandiTV, Pocket Live TV, and SPB Online. all HandiTV opens a link to media player, and when media player accesses that link, it closes down without giving an error, and obviously without working. SPB online took forever loading the few channels it had and never got to it. Pocket Live TV either said "error" or "access denied" wih some channels, and with a couple actually said "Playing" but nothing was playing on the screen.
i'm testing with the ActiveSync connection. my goal is to get a program that will let me watch over WiFi as I have free WiFi access at the university and plenty of time to myself between classes so i would like to watch tv in that time :-D
please let me know what i'm supposed to do to get one of them to work! Preferably HandiTV as it seems to have the best selection of channels
thank you!

If I am not mistaken, all of those programs require a subscription to the service they offer...so that may be your problem.

nope, all the ones i'm trying are "demo" or "trial", so i should be able to "try" them before purchasing them. i've been able to get Pocket Live TV so work with some channels, but nothing that i'm interested in watching.
oh well, after reading it seems it's never going to be a true tv watching program as i'll be watching whatever they're sending online. when i originally downloaded the programs i was hoping for something like off-the-air tv reception or something
why dont they make a tv tuner that you can plug into the usb port and then do it that way? i'd pay for that!
EDIT: well apparently they make something similar to "it". I can buy a SDIO tv tuner for about $150 from Hong Kong that will work with the wizard. To get the SD card to work though i'd need a SD-to-mini adapter, so about $200 all said and done and i can have a self-powered tv antenna hooked up to the phone...huh...that'll have to wait!

[Q] Straming via Wifi

Hi,
I have a question. I have acces from my phone (legend) to my pc through ES file explorer via Wifi (shared folders on both sides). I also have approx 100gb mp3s and i don't wanna tranfsef few of them everytime i wanna listen something. here's my question. can i stream music on my hdd (pc) to my phone while they're connected with wifi ? es explorer gives my only a 50sec sample when tap "play". i should add that pc is connected to lan with cable not with wifi adapter. great thanks for help

- AudioGalaxy (free and easy)
- Subsonic (mostly free - server is becoming donation)
- CIFS Manager and whatever player you want because it'll mount as a virtual share on your SD card like ES does except it'll be accessable from any program as though it was right on your phone (only will work over wifi in most cases and you have to be using a device which has a cifs.ko module compiled specficially for it).
To start out -- id try audiogalaxy -- but its going to take a really long time to index a huge library -- FYI -- leave it overnight or something.
Edit -- without wifi whats the point? In that case Audiogalaxy works okay over mobile data out of the box -- subsonic will probably need port 80 forwarded from your router when you want to use it. They're going to consume a lot of mobile data though.
Lately I've been using CIFS Manager when on WIFI at home and Audiogalaxy for elsewhere. Cheers.

100GB of music? DAMN! lol

100Gig - I remember when my library was that small ;-)
I just wrote a review on Audiogalaxy and it's one of my review applications which is staying on my phone, so I'll also suggest trying it out. While the bitrate seems a little too low at the moment, it is just a beta and is still good enough quality for casual listening - That said, a lower bitrate is going to help keep costs down, should you wish to stream over mobile networks.
I'll agree, a large mp3 collection will take a while to fully index but a decent broadband connection will help that. It's also really easy to get started on audiogalaxy (took me under five minutes from first visit to the website, to playing my first track on the phone.)

thanks for help. i just saw today that Audiogalaxy is released, i think that'll do . Btw, i used to have about 550gb of music but sadly i had to erease my whole disk because of failure ;//

Bloody hell! You win! I lost around 350gig for the same reason and now have only around 290gig in raid (thankfully raid, I lost one of the disk set last year but no data for once!)
I have been hearing of some cloud like applications out there for push/pull of files to/from pc to android, so that may make another alternative, especially for offline usage. I'm thinking of implementing both because it makes far more sense to be able to access certain data remotely, rather than trying to figure out what I'll want syncing before I leave home.
Oh and if there isn't anything that quite fits the bill, perhaps it would make an excellent dev project for me.

Subsonic serves me and my terabyte of music very well (roughly half the teratyte is FLAC). The reason AudioGalaxy is not something for me is because I like to do everything folder-based, not via some database/index.
I am currently trying CifsManager too. But it appears my WiFi is pretty slow, so for streaming Subsonic's buffering/caching is much appreciated. Another advantage of Subsonic is that you can tell it exactly what and how you want stuff re-encoded. You can have it set up so that if you are on WiFi, it will automatically stream your MP3/FLAC at their own max quality. Then when you go off WiFi with your phone and want to listen over mobile data networks, it could stream it to you as 128kbps MP3 file for example (on-the-fly transcoded from for example your high-quality FLAC).

@jjwa - That's an excellent answer! Thanks for that, I think I need to take another look at Subsonic.

tried the mhl adapter and...

uhg. the videoplayer in media hub doesnt support mhl. it seems intentional because it wont even mirror the phone screen, it actually shows it mirrored for a second and displays a mesage that it is not supported.
kinda makes media hub not worth having. why wouldnt samsung just put drm protection on a filetype that plays in the normal video player? this is lame. why would i rent a move to watch on my phone with no possibility of playback on a tv? they'd get many more rentals if it was more flexible this seems more like a way to show off than a practical aplication. i dont think it can stream over dlna either. it would be much more useful if i could use it on a hotel tv when i travel or my home tv with a dock.
come on samsung. we need an update! asap!

Yep, I tried it yesterday as well and it didnt work. Thats very dissapointing. Who wants to buy a movie in media hub but only be able to watch on their phone? If you buy the movie you should be able to watch it wherever you wish....

I really hope someone makes a hack for HDMI mirroring like the Droid x has...

I used with slingplayer. It worked ok, I think it doesn't have the horsepower to get it really smooth. But it was ok. Are the media player files drmed? I'll only use it to spend that $25 credit. I'll probably just copy and rip the movies I buy. Did anybody try other media players/movies?

ya know that's probably it. they are drm'd and in a proprietary format. they probably fear that if you had video capture on a computer you'd get around all that and dont want people ripping their movies.
the on board video player works amazing. dont use 3rd party apps, it supports mkv's and such. plus it putsout 1080p when used with mhl, the screen turns off and it switches to a highres mode and powers the mhl exclusively.
a better solution would have been watermarking the output. so that movies if ripped would have evidence of piracy in which case the user could be reported if they distribute it.
i wonder it that's what the update is about. maybe if we spoof the build.prop it wont force the update and then who knows? that might kill it altogether though and other version might only mirror, not use hi res. maybe there is a way to squash the update, an apk that can be frozen or something?

Samsung's response to me when I inquired
@CYNlKALOPTlMlST: @Samsungtweets @samsungmobileus Why can I not use media hub on my tv? #Infuse4G http://ow.ly/i/brzA
@SamsungMary:
@cynikaloptimist Due to licensing rights from the studios, Media Hub content unfortunately can be played only on Galaxy S devices. Sorry :-/

[Q] Stream PC audio to Windows Phone

Hi,
I would like to be able to hear all my Windows PC sounds on my Windows Phone via Wifi. Ive been searching for quite long time now with no luck. Anyone knows better?
Cheers

QloudMedia, http://app.qiss.mobi/ , http://www.windowsphone.com/en-US/apps/a6a48d5e-a249-42c9-a552-3111c26051e6
Not an audio only, but video (transcoding "on the fly") and pics too

Neat! Thank you! Will give it a try as son as i can
but if isnt it too much to ask, isnt there any free alternative?
also my initial thought (belive i wasnt very clear) was to use the phone as a kind of "wireless headphone" since i could watch game stream, online web radio and so on w/o beeing in front of the pc.
Qloud doesnt seems to do that, or am i mistaken?

No. With QloudMedia you can stream existing audio/video files to your handset. To be able watch something directly from you PC screen, you may try any remote desktop apps (but they are also paid).

im trying "pc remote" and it is really great, but it doesnt have the audio feature,
do you know any?
