Phone: HTC 6800
Provider:US Cellular
Windows Mobile 6.0
How do I play other video formats? Also i cannot go to youtube and view those videos either, or videos in general such as those from lorouchepac.com in the LPACTV sections.
Doesnt seem to want to play MP4s or anything.
Playing video on a 6800 mogul.
Harris,
Go on, search, download and install "TCPMP" media player. It will play lots of media types. There is an associations list so you can set what types of media you want it to work for. It will work before Windows Media player if you have one set for this. If you want WMP to work instead, uncheck the box for the particular file type. Also, you can download an application from Youtube to play the videos from the phone. Mine works quite well. hope this helps.

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.
Some of the Youtube downloads via Realplayer download manager don't play on ppc players like TCPMP and Coreplayer, I presume it is because they are flash 8?
Is there an on-line Youtube downloader which simultaneously converts the file into the correct format to play on PPCs with minimal loss of quality? It would be great if it had a search function online too. I have tried sites like mobytube but this one doesn't:
a) The search doesn't return all the available videos that you would see in Youtube website.
b) lets the user download all the ones that have been returned in the search.
WVD made by one of the forum members here is pretty awesome. You can also get a plug in to play flv on TCPMP. My phone is a lowly 200mhz model and it can play them fine. A lot of the sites listed in WVD also have a 3gp option for downloading, though they are usually at lower quality. The .72 (NOT .8x) version of TCPMP can play FLV4 (youtube "hd") movies with a plugin but it was nowhere near watchable on my phone. Would play a second and stop, play a second and stop, etc... My phone lacked the horse power.

I've been trying to download youtube videos onto my pc and then Syncing them over to my omnia i910. When I do so, I get errors. What formats do the videos need to be in?
I've tried downloading them from my phone with apps, but they dont really work well.
So can anyone tell me how to download them from my pc to my phone without these errors?
I'm currently using Ask and Record toolbar to download the videos.
if you mean wmp then that only support very very very few formats
if you want to play various formats on pocketpc get a players like coreplayer
or TCPMP
wmp is a pretty poor player in general
I have an HTC Evo, and installed the "arcmedia" media player because I needed something that would play .wmv video files. I installed dropbox as well, which is where the videos live. When I initially tried to play the video via dropbox, it said I didnt have a media player installed that could play the file. After I installed arcmedia, it will play, but only sound, via the default media player. If I download the video to the phone, and browse to the video with the arcsoft media player it will, in fact, play. So my question would be, how do I tell my phone that arcsoft is now the default media player? Anyone know? Should be possible, yes? Thanks!
Does anyone know whether having video flagged as a music video has different functionality on the windows phone than regular video files? Obviously it is nice that you can choose to see just music videos in the Zune music . But here are a few things that would be useful...
Having music videos play when the screen is off
Having a playlist of music videos
Having the video start from the beginning every time, rather then where it left off
Also, does anyone know of a utility on the Windows platform to change the "music video" flag?
I don't believe WP7 treats "music videos" any different from normal videos. If you want just the music (play in the background, make playlists, etc.), then using music video files (which are huge, plus require a lot more RAM and battery to decode) is silly. There are tools that can extract the audio tracks from a video file, allowing you to save them just as audio files, if or some reason you don't have the audio file already. It's been years sisnce I used any such tools though; a web search will help you more now than I can with finding them. As for the "music video" identifier, it's probably just a metadata tag on the file. Windows Explorer should be able to edit it just fine; right-click the file, go to Properties, then Details, and remove the tag.
