How do I get the captivate to play streaming videos? - Captivate General

Sure, it has a youtube app, but what about playing vids from metacafe or other sites? I just get the little Adobe Flash error icon.
Is there a way to get Flash on this phone?

Do any browsers have YouTube support like SkyFire?

I'm on the list for the Beta2 but I can't wait until summer.
Are there any browers that support YouTube in a similar manner as SkyFire?
If you are waiting on skyfire for Youtube you will disappointed.. Get coreplayer its much better for that.
My 2 choice for you tube : ( Not browsers )

You have to download the FLV though don't you? I want something that streams.
Also, I want it to be able to play embedded video.

Franly, I don't understand why some people don't bother reading my past articles or, at least, use the search engine. I've answered these questions in the YouTube Bible at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=387986

1. I did search and will continue to do so.
2. I'm trying to find not just the best option for playing youtube videos, but for playing embedded YouTube videos.
3. My name isn't Franly.

1, The best method for quick research is searching for my posts using a keyword like YouTube; then, you'll find the related posts, Bibles etc. very fast
2, yup, it's answered is the Bible too
3, Sorry, I've misspelled "frankly"

No embedded operation (yet). However, it works with the plug-in, should your want to prefer it to the old TCPMP

CorePlayer 1.3.6 (7427) suddenly cannot play YouTube

Hi,
I have suddenly encountered the problem. I can search for videos but when I open the video to watch, at first I get the YouTube logo top bar in the player, and the "Loading" symbol, but these disappear after 3-4 seconds and nothing happens. I tried this on many videos. I haven't touched the settings on the player, and until a week ago I was watching YouTube videos without any problems.
Any ideas what can be wrong?
I have the same problem.At first i thought i did something wrong.I reinstalled application,then afterwards i even had a change of Rom and windows 6,5 reinstalled,then installed 1.3.6 version,nothing does not work on youtube.
Maybe youtube changed something?Should i send an email to the creators of the program?I am a registered user of it.
It is annoying as i would want to view youtube with my mobile.
Ya! My coreplayer cannot play the videos on youtube too. It displays sth like FFFFFFF(error code).Can sbd help us?
It's YouTube's fault. They are again changing something about the way their videos are encoded. No idea why.
The guy who created mVu Mobile Viewer - bik2000 - said so, when I asked him why I was unable to play YouTube videos from his program (which launches CorePlayer anyway).
I guess/hope that when the change YouTube are doing is final, CorePlayer will be released in a new version, which will once again be able to play the videos. Till then, the only option is to first download the video, then play it in CorePlayer or TCPMP.

Is there a way to download the the video from YouTube on the PPC? On the PC I use YouTube downloader (who also released a new version lately to cope with the recent changes in YouTube).
Thanks.

Cool app thanks
Well, until the CorePlayer issue is resolved, I'm using YouTube application to watch youtube vids on my PPC. I'm finding it very neat and I love it even more than CorePlayer.
This is how you get it:
From PIE (not from NetFront Browser or Opera).
Go to: m.youtube.com/app
Wait a moment and the .CAB download will start.
Install and enjoy.
I tried going to the link using NetFront Browser 4.0 and Opera 10 and I was directed to a page that says my device is not supported. So it seems you only have to use pocket IE to download the application.

[Q] Unable to play Youtube videos

So, I can surf the web, open YouTube, etc..however, when I click on a video to play, it gives me a 'connection error' message all the time.
What could be wrong ? I'm using the ARHD 6.6.7 ROM.
your internet connection could be bad...
did you install adobe flash player?
also, why not play youtube videos from the youtube app?
This is the youtube app I'm using.
Internet connection is good.

[Q] [CM11] Some videos not playing after flash

Hi guys,
I rooted my Nexus 5 and flashed CM11 on it. Opened up a page with a vimeo embedded video on it, and got a "plugin not supported" error - in CM browser, Chrome, and Dolphin. Same page worked just fine yesterday on stock. Youtube works fine.
I'm a noob at this, so can anyone point me to what's wrong?
link to that video?
Can't post links yet, but this is the page on which I was trying to play the video:

oh, ok. i see your issue. the video is posted in flash. the nexus 5 can not play flash, unless through a third party app. there are browser that can play it, they send the vid to their site then convert it and play it for you.

It didn't play on the page, but it was able to recognize it as a video and opened it in the video player that Chrome uses.

if not on that page, if directly via vimeo, it could convert the file type so you can watch it. i can watch youtube vids via youtube, because it plays other files if flash isnt supported. but if someone posts a youtube vid in flash, not in youtube.com, then ill get the same error.

Strange. It was on that page, I could see the video thumbnail and clicked on it. I guess I'll just get over it, not many vimeo videos out there generally.

¿Working Youtube Downloader?

Hey Xda community,
I can not find a working YouTube downloader application. I've scoured the web. I've been through countless searches of 'best Youtube downloader app's for android' articles. Not one works.
There's got to be one that works out there somewhere and I figure Xda is the absolute best place to ask.
Has anyone found a working downloader app? Maybe a browser extension or add on? Would love to hear...
I'm using a cheaper Samsung with no root possibilities running android Q
Thank you
Yes, it is a little bit difficult to find a working youtube video downloader for a mobile phone. Maybe you can use your computer to download YouTube videos instead.
There are a couple online ones that work for free.
Here's one:
YouTube to Mp3 Music Converter - YTMP3
YTMP3 is free YouTube to mp3 converter. It helps you convert and download youtube videos to mp3 or mp4 files for free. YTMP3 is the best Youtube mp3 downloader.
ytmp3.cc
You can use arktube, download it from browser then buy lisence from play store or just use the free version
Here's another free one:
MPG to MP4 Converter: Convert MPG Video to MP4 Video (Free)
Convert your MPG files to MP4 video.
www.onlineconverter.com
I recommend MiniTool uTube Downloader in this regard. It's 100% free and easy to use.
In youtube app, i believe there is a button to download the video to play it locally on youtube app, unless you want to download it as mp4
