STREAM .mp4 Videos

Hey guys have you ever clicked on a .mp4 or .m4v (iPhone video/website) link on opera mobile or IE and notice that it starts to download!?
well how do I make it so it will stream the video with Coreplayer instead of downloading the file?
it seem like a very common thing that the iPhone and Android do but not WINDOWS MOBILE!?
so any toughts will be highly apriciated, maybe editing the opera registry or so somethig??
thanks
BTW I've searched EVERYWHERE and cant seem to find a solution for this

ARE YOU SERIOUS GUYS!? NO! one

STREAMING
Im in the same boat your in and nobody has an answer...i hate downloading it should stream like tyhe other phones do....somebody help!!!!

It's not that hard; what you need to do is look in your PIE cache for the file that starts the stream up. If you use the streams at TodayPda.com, for instance, you will find .asx files dumped for each stream you used. Just copy them to a folder on your sd card, then go to the file associations tabs in tcpmp's settings and check the box for metafiles. Then, you can open the stream up in tcpmp by clicking on the .asx file. If you go to shoutcast, a file called "tunein-station.pls" is dumped (I think in PIE it may ask if you want it downloaded, otherwise it's in the cache). You need to copy it and rename it (as all stations use the same file name). As long as .pls files are associated with tcpmp, then clicking on these files will open up tcpmp.
If you're talking about links that just download the entire video, you seriously have a problem with that? I'd call that a bonus, myself. The files usually download faster than they stream, and the video quality is better and you can watch them offline as much as you want. A lot of the 'streaming' vids that you see aren't really streaming, anyway. Somewhere on your device, a temporary file is being dumped and once the dump start, you start to view it. If you watch youtube videos over PIE, that's how it works. When the video is fully loaded, you can go to \windows\temp, and there will be a .tmp file that is the actual video.

streaming
wow now u know a whole.lot...definitely gonna try that but what would be ideal is clicking on a video or link and to watch it streaming just like in an iPhone. that is what we are looking for...is there a EASIER way???????????

I get what you guys are sayingand I knew that info already (not trying to be rude)
HOWEVER
I'm currently thinking of building a website for streaming media not to download as some people would rather have the option of streaming the Videos.
I have SEARCHED months for Tv series to movies, something like south park family guy, House, law&order to many more. Some complete series other movies Ready for WVGA devices and more newer type off phones.
All together comes to thousands of GB worth of media. so NO! CRAPPY 3gp quality as there are many website already like that so its most in https mp4 not rtsp.
anyways I'm still thinking about it as everything should be Ondemand and FREE! ( with some ads )
I was thinking something like:
www.HD2media.mobi

you could code an app that sets off the video stream (no idea how though )

This only allows you to control VLC on your PC, won't allow you to play anything on the phone.
Zune will convert 99% of the media it can't natively play and it will do it pretty quickly and with very good quality. At some point in the future we will most likely be able to copy/past files onto the device and use 3rd party video software.

\what about youtube files . flv files ?

youTube files .flv files, I suppose can't, as I usually download the YouTube videos with iFunia YouTube Converter and then it convert the flv files automaticly for me.
There are 2 players that normally can play many file type.
VLC player and Gomplayer, VLC is free~
here you can get: download.cnet.com/VLC-Media-Player/3000-13632_4-10267151.html

No dice as of now. Not possible without usb mass storage support, how else would you copy&paste the files over? The Zune software will only sync files it supports.
I'd say convert your .flv files to a common video format that every device can use, like .avi or .mp4 to name a few. I do it for my music videos downloaded from youtube. Those file formats should copy over easily. If not, zune will convert them effortlessly.

thank you all for the reply. but the hell if i am going to back to converting movies before playing them. gone those days when i wanted to put movies on my nokia phone because it couldnt play **** but mp4 or 3gp.
i think i will hold on for a while. plus the fact i cant purchase paid apps because i dont live in the US is a deal breaker too.
i guess i should wait for while. bummer, i really liked the browser and the interface a little of the device.

so .. any updates since then or still nothing yet ?

Nope I wish there was though. I travel a lot and take that time to watch movies and tv shows on my phone. I still have to carry around my TP2 while I travel now to enjoy my media. I completely agree that the days of conversion should be over now. I used to laugh at other devices that couldn't play xvid natively and now I'm in that boat .
I really hope this feature emerges either natively or through a 3rd party eventually.

this is why 3 people I know of traded back to android again. they thought they could just ftp over a movie fike (like on ios) and play it on the phone.
one of them actually said "so my phone.... can't. share a file..... with other PHONES?"
then the other guys shook their heads and continued moving music around between themslves. no computers, no chords, and no transcoding.
the one guy bought a galaxy tab along with a thunderbolt, and tried to craigslist his samsung.
all because there is no fole support. wow.

Semi-convenient workaround

After reading your post I decided to tinker a bit and found a semi-convenient workaround.
I tested downloading video releases for the iTouch and found that if I transfer them using the USB Device Enabler into the Storage\Video folder on my device choosing 'Don't convert just copy' when you transfer the video, then it shows up and plays back fine on the phone.
Obviously it would be ideal if i could playback any codec but for now this will do.

[Q] Video format downloading.

I just got my Transformer and I started to download some of my movies to the MicroSD. Alot of the movies that I tried to download wouldnt even download. I kept getting an error saying this device doesnt support WMV or MP4 format. And it stopped the download. I know these movies work on android because I watch them on my Inspire. Do I need to download an aftermarket movie player?

Don't just think that "it works on Android because it works on this or that model". If that were the case, mkv would be supported since Froyo, considering the stock player in the Galaxy Tab had no problem with them.
However your issue seems more simple than that! Try another browser, it might fix it. Also the two best video players for Android are Dice Player and MX Player. First isn't free but is awesomer.

if you are on win 7 then a message should pop up that has an option "Copy anyways" just click that

How are you trying to download them? What browser are you using and where are you trying to download from? If you mean your just trying to copy files over from your computer to the Transformer then as mrevankyle stated the warning should still give you the option to copy over your files regardless if it will play or not. If your trying to download from the internet then you might want to try something like a torrent app to download your movies as it's a dedicated downloading app.

[Q] How to play a movie on an android tablet

I have purchased an ePad 2.2 android tablet for my nephew. I've successfully loaded songs and music videos from my iTunes account to a micro sd card. I have been able to play them on the tablet with no issues. I also downloaded a couple of movies but I've been unable to get the movies to play. The odd thing is the file formats for the music videos are the same as the movies, (.m4v). Yet the music videos play and the movies do. I didn't convert any files to different formats. I'm only using the "My Video" app that came installed on the tablet to play the music videos. Yet the "My Video" app won't play the movies. I'm guessing it's because the movies have an index whereas the music videos are just plain videos. Also, to get my iTunes files from iTunes to the 16 gb micro sd card I simply did a drap and drop in folders I created called music, music videos and movies.
I've searched all day and have found nothing to help. Does anyone have any clue how I can get the movies to play? Is there an app I can download? I don't have access to download thru the Android Market. I've been using Amazon.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! U can email me at [email protected]. Hopefully I've included enough info to be helpful. Please ask questions if I haven't.
Thanks so much,
Dgj

The standard video app is rubbish but most video players like mx video player for example will play your files. Just try a few free ones and see what you prefer, you may find some at getjar.com which gives you free apps and is a respected site so you will find a lot of market apps free there.

Google Play videos are DRM protected.
You can't play those videos in any third party video players.
