thats not what he means.
you need to find the mp4 link of the youtube video, as mediaelement can only play mp4 and not flv movies.
This probably involves some reverse engineering of how youtube codes its video urls. But there are some tutorials about how to make a youtube player with wp7.
They used direct mp4 links as well.
Good luck.

Use Core player, it is much better than TCPMP.

try this
http://www.freemake.com/free_video_downloader/
Its free and it coverts best ... n use h.264 mpeg profile at 1280*720 or 1920*1080
Most of the video codecs are already supported by note or third party applications should be able to play almost all formats..if you are having issues transferring huge files enable usb debugging in the setting(for files below 4Gb). If you are looking for a good converter try handbrake its very good and free but if you are not familiar with encoding it may be slightly intemedating, look for tutorials online.

Convert? "Convert"? Man, if you have to convert anything to play on the Note, you're doing it wrongz.

buddy go to application in setting's and click development mode and it normally transfer files ....
then download from market mx video player (the best) and it will play almost everything.
Dice player and RockPlayer are the best
this is the Samsung Galaxy Note - the stock player will play anything you throw at it. why encode in mpeg-4 when you can play .mkv? I don't see a point to downloading an external video player, period.
i have a lot of them and if you ned i can assist you with them.

No way, MX video player is the best IMO.
The Gnote can play many HD content, but when it comes to lets say a 1080p profile [email protected] with 16 reframes, it can't handle it, but MX video player is the one that gives me the most acceptable frame rate play under such a heavy HD video.

need help with xbmc youtube mx player error.

Hopefully someone can help me with this error I can't find a solution anywhere. I'm using xbmc on my transformer and it's set to use MX player to play most of the video on it. My only issue is that for all youtube videos mx Player keeps giving me "can't play this video" all other types of videos work fine. Is there a fix that I can apply that will allow mx player to play youtube streams? If not, is there a way I can set in the playercorefactory.xml to use the internal DVDplayer for only youtube streams and mx player for everything else? Is anyone else experiencing the same issue with MX player and youtube streams? Any help would be appreciated

I couldn't view any You Tube videos, so I sideloaded flash onto my transformer. This wasn't too successful, so then I downloaded the new YouTube app which is working fine.
As for your xbmc problem - I don't have the app, just know it is a multi media center/player.

Sorry, no. I was able to see video in the YouTube app whereas before I couldn't get any video to play in any browser. I know I had to sideload flash onto my TF101 - so whether it helped may also be a factor.
alright, so i find myself in same boat. Only thing is, I cant play Dailymotion videos which gives me same error using xbmc+mx player combo. have you found any solution?, I tried BS Player, Dice Player and making sure they were the external players by changing playercorefactory.xml file. but still no luck. I also tried switching decoder under mxplayer and all other players to only use hw decoder or sw decoder, but no luck.

[Q] Youtube videos HW acceleration

Can we have Youtube videos with HW acceleration ?
The way I play some youtube videos with mx player, I have hardware acceleration.
What way do you use?
Oh, for me all youtube videos play in SW, and the HW mode gives me an error.
I thought MX player didnt play youtube videos with HW, so it must be my tablet that doesnt make it.
Youtube uses H.264 and VP9. H.264 can be h/w decoded on any device, and there's only few SoCs that can decode VP9 (not sure if there're even real devices with them).

Thanks for the reply, is there any way I can set youtube to use h264 only?
How are you playing youtube videos in MX player? If you're downloading there's usually choice (mp4/H.264 and webm/VP9).

Im streaming them with mx player (the xbmc/kodi youtube addon handles the links).

do you just use the youtube url (youtube.com/watch?v=videoid)? i can't get MXP to play these links ... would be great if you can describe how you're setting it up
the only way I've been able to get MXP to load the urls is if I get the googlevideo url with signature
use tubemate ( m.tubemate.net ) to parse link and open from mx player. You can choose different quality of videos accordingly to your choise.

Play youtube videos?

Is it possible to play youtube videos by streaming using mx player?
Using kodi with the youtube plugin and configuring MX as an external player, the youtube videos cn be launched directly in MX. But I´d like to do this with only the MX app, without needing kodi
Can this be done???
Thanks
Yes. I'd also like to play YT videos in mxplayer. Are you going to add this feature?

Unfortunately, MX Player doesn't playback of the webpages with embedded videos. However, we will explore the possibilities and make it possible in future if found viable. Meanwhile, stay with us and show your continued support to MX.
