[Q] Youtube video on TILT2 WM6 OperaMini5.1 - General Questions and Answers

Has YouTube changed something recently (June 2011)?
Using Opera Mini 5.1 (last Windows Mobile version released) I have been able to view most YouTube videos through the HTC streaming app.
That is up until the last week or two. Now when I visit youtube and select a video there is no longer any "click to view video" text or any video placeholder.
I haven't changed anything on the phone.
I can play videos using Opera Mobile 9.5 through the streaming app, but that browser is so bloated that it shuts down all other running apps, nails the CPU at 100%, and then crashes if I open more than 1 tab. In any case, that indicates that the HTC streaming app is still set up as my device's default stream handler.
So, has anyone else noted any recent issues like this with Youtube on WM devices?
Thanks.

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.

Streaming audio and browsing at same time

So my last cell phone was the HTC shadow from Tmobile. It was windows based and could do everything this phone can albeit with older hardware tech, yet I could play a youtube video or some streaming audio from a website then go back to the browser and start surfing the web and reading other sites, while the audio played in the background.
The G2x is my first android device and not only does the battery life suck, but now I find that I can't even multitask! I've searched if the G2x or any android device could stream music/audio and browse at the same time and found no adequate answer. The only one that gave me hope was to hold down the home key and you'd get the last 6 apps you've used, but this still it does not work, and the music/audio cuts off the moment I want to browse in another window.
Is there anyway to listen to an audio on one window, open another and surf the net, while the audio is still playing in the other window?
I don't know exactly which applications you're using, but this works fine for me with Pandora -- keeps right on playing while I browse.
I think he is trying to browse and use sound from a youtube video at the same time. I have never needed to do this. If you get an app like Pandora and Grooveshark you can stream music and do whatever you want at the same time.
Sounds like he is trying to stream audio from a website via the web browser. the web browser needs to be on screen with the screen on and unlocked for sound to stream.
however if you use an app like pandora or soundcloud you can let it run in the background
Yeah, I tried playing a Flash-based stream in the browser; the OP is right, as soon as I switched to a different window within the browser or switched to a different app, Flash stopped streaming. Same thing with YouTube. I don't know why. The hardware and OS are certainly capable of it, as shown by Pandora, etc.
Try SkyFire.
Back to the days I was using Nexus One 2.2. I was only able to play BBC iplayer with Flash background was SkyFire. When you get video prompt when you're about to play flash-based player, let SkyFire runs on its own way. In which you can play it in the background.

I've. Tried it on dolphin, skyfire, stock and other free browers and each time I play a video on YouTube or an audio mp3 stream from a particular site then try and open another window to browse the audio cuts of. Only when I make that window active will the audio video begin to stream again. This feature should be standard, since all windows mobile smart phones can do this, no problem.

[Q] Youtube not streaming in Internet Explorer?

Last couple of day I am not able to stream Youtube Videos in Internet Explorer on my Samsung Omnia W with WP7.5 Refresh OS.
Earlier I was able to stream videos from Youtube directlt in IE. Anybody else noticed this issue?
Has there been any changes in recent days which I may have missed?
Make sure you're in the HTML5 trial of Youtube (go to http://youtube.com/html5 to check). Also, be aware that some videos are unavailable in HTML5. For those, you'll have to use one (of the many) YouTube apps.

Thanks. Yes, now Videos are playing after I joined HTML5 trial from IE.
But I dont understand what has changed recently so that Videos stopped playing, which were playing normally earlier.

[Q] Video links in the twiter and fb apps

ok, considering the jump to win phone
I have a few questions on how it deals with video links in email, websites and in apps
iOS6 when you click a YouTube within FB or Twitter apps it goes to a web browser with in the the app and plays it in that browser, or if you click open in safari if its YouTube it goes to the YT app
On android its similar
what does Windows phone do in these apps ?
A- if its a YouTube video
B- if its non YouTube but mobile friendly.
I basicly want how it handles YouTube video links, and non youtube
does it play with in the app, or does it fire up IE ?
I think it plays in a YouTube player and you can go "back" to return to social media app.

I haven't tried the Twitter app, but in general, either within an app or the built-in integration (available for both FB and Twitter), video links will open in the browser. What happens then depends on how you have your browser set up; the default behavior for YouTube is to launch the YouTube app, but I prefer HTML5 video so I enabled that option on the YouTube site and set my browser in "desktop mode" so YT serves it HTML5 video. For sites which don't have any WP7-specific functionality but serve HTML5 video, the video will work fine as expected. HTML5 video doesn't actually play directly in the browser - it launches a separate video player to do it - but otherwise it works just fine.

[BUG] or [PROBLEM]: since phone update, MX Player no longer default for browsers HELP

Background: Purchased MX Player Pro. Watch a lot of video in my mobile web browsers Chrome and Dolphin. Often for work (training). Used to be that in either mobile browser, I would browse to the video and when I told it to play MX Player Pro would be the player in which I watched the video, which is critically important and MX Player has video controls (like swiping to go forward and backward) that the system video player doesn't.
This morning my Galaxy Note 5 from Verizon got an update, update N920VVRU2BPG5. Since then, in both browsers on my phone, the video only play in the craptastic system video player. I've looked for a way to change that default and I do not see any options. Again, what I am trying to do is make it be the way it was, with videos played from either of my mobile web browsers Chrome and Dolphin being launched in MX Player by default, not the system video player it seems to have defaulted back to. (To be clear, we are NOT talking about setting a FILE default).
I don't know that this is considered a bug or not, but it's a giant problem.
What's the solution?
Thanks.
This *may* be a a different kind of thing, I've done some more testing in Dolphin and found that when I enable Dolphin Jetpack for Flash, it goes back to working properly. I'm not sure why, my two conjectures are either:
a) MX Player is not in the mix at ALL, but that the recent update swapped my browsing player from Flash based to HTML5 based, and HTML5 video players do not (possibly) support swipe gestures, or
b) By switching Dolphin Jetpack for Flash on, it enable dolphin to properly router the video playback to the MX Player.
Either way, that seems to be the fix for Dolphin, now I have to see if a similar fix can be applied to Mobile Chrome.
Thanks.
@sindyr
If chrome plays on itself it may not possible. If it's forwarded to stock player it might be different issue raised from Samsung's idiotic implementation of default apps.
FYI, in almost all samsung marshmallow devices if you select a app it's always set as default. Unlike LP there won't be a option to select once. Just go to Application Manager > Select Video (If Stock Player is default). From the "Set Defaults" option "Clear Defaults" & set the App Links to always ask. Now, Chrome will ask again to select. But, keep in mind that when you select the any other app it will be the new default.
It's not possible to intercept a html5 video from a browser. Nowadays most of the browsers are implementing their own mediaplayer based on android mediaplayer API.
