Is there any way to watch You tube video?

I was trying to open with Opera, IE, WMP. Don't really know which application I need to watch it...I believe there is a simple answer for the question. But, I just don't know it...

So, no1 knows?

Watched this topic?

Have you read this?

it seems that all the solutions there are for downloading, converting and then watching. But I need it to work on-fly, without downloading, the way we watch it on our PCs.

Now Windows Mobile Phones Can, so why can't we?
I know I'm getting sick of seeing those stupid Verizon adds for the EnV that shows the huge YouTube logo on the screen, and wondering why my WM phone can't. I know my phone can do hundreds, if not thousands of things, that the EnV can't, but as long as there is ONE thing that a non WM phone can do that mine can't, I feel like less of a man. Where do I sign up mfrazz's 12 step program?

and is there any way to watch p2p tv on ppc like on pc?

I just intalled the newest version on Opera 8.65... its in beta right now... BUT IT PLAYS YOUTUBE videos!!!! WooHoo!!!

why it keeps asking for java or flashplayer (under wm6)?

does anyone know how to format the window so that I can watch the whole video (on youtube) using Opera?

Orb Lets You Play YouTube on Your PPC
I use a program called Orb to play YouTube on my PPC. It loads on your home PC, then you use any PPC browser to access it. It's pretty dang sweet. I have had hardly any problems with it.
orb.com

Well, there are a lot of ways to watch you tube video offline on your PPC. For example, you can just download a youtube video using youtube grabber on your PC then convert it to avi using some endcoder, and then watch it with TCMP or Core PLayer.
However, the main point of the thread is to get a way of watching youtube video on-fly being online with you PPC.
So, far the best way of doing that is using new Opera. However, it's not a perfect way

orb is the way to go. orb does it on the fly also. check it out.

It really is. The only problem I found about it is that the PC must always run the application and be online to be able to watch video from PPC, which is sometimes a problem for me. The rest is awsome.

the other nice thing is you can also view your webcam anytime also. I use it for sucurity purposes . very nice feature.

I think downloads are the only way to watch you tube videos. Try this site: mymobileclips.com, free registration, specify the format you want your videos, and you can get Google, Myspace, Ifilm, Dailymotion, Break, Metacafe, too.

I personally believe ORB is by fair the best thing to cross streaming\PPC lines...I have absolutely no problem watching youtube on my PPC using orb, and talk about an iPhone?? Who needs that when you have an 250 gig hdd with movies, music, pictures, and then are able to watch your local cable service thats at home while your out and about on a lunch break, and then to be able to access your PC and browse and download files from anywhere............ORB IS GOD when it comes to media and mobile devices....not to mention to gain access on my xbox 360 using orb as well without switching my external from device to device, and not using the lame media center....orbs great....just thought id mention it.

I've been trying orb and im a bit new to it. But from my understanding, orb will only work if you pre-selected the videos on your PC first right?
Is there any way to watch ANY youtube video? For example if you searched for one and want to watch it, you cant use the standard browser to see it. How does orb come into play for watching videos on demand? Will it only allow us to see videos that we have pre-added on our pc with the orb plugin?

Orb defines videos, pics, audio, files, etc defined in a specifc folder....when you setup orb it then scans the folders to save the content locations onto the orb server, so what ever you put in a specified folder, orb will pull it in for you.
With youtube, just download the plugin on orbs website for IE, install.....then login into orb on your ppc.....go to videos....then it comes up with an search for youtube....google...yahoo...etc, type in what you want to search, it then show it infront of you, click what you want to watch, then click play stream.
No pre-added video for youtube, just an search as if you were at your desktop.

[Q] Virtual Desktop Performance

Has anyone have any experience using the Transformer as virtual desktop?
I would love to be able to log in via the browser via windows small business server to run all of my work apps when necesary while on the road.
I read that there was included software to help with this??? (Can't find the review that mentioned it now)
(I apologize if there is a thread somewhere on this!)
Thanks!

That will be my first project once I get mine in, test it with couple of remote desktop apps. I will update you once I write a review!
I use virtual desktop, virtual viewer and pocketcloud on my EVO and they have helped when a PC/windows wasn't available so its worth it. It would be interesting to see how these apps behave on a tablet.

there's a built in app for remote desktop. I'll report back after I get mine friday.

The app built-in (since firmware update 1) is a free version of splashtop. It works very well.

forgive the stupid question...
But with a virtual desktop app, I know you can log into your computer and make the computer do stuff (run programs, open files, etc.).
I only tried it out once a while ago on a phone and it was neat, but altogether too difficult to really use on a phone. However witha tablet, that should be a different story.
My question is, can you load a media file one the computer and will it actually display on your tablet? Could I open Zune up on my computer and play a song and have the sound come through on the tablet? I imagine that's not possible... but a guy can dream can't he?

That is the idea behind splastop but i could be wrong.. if you wait and soon we will have mobile virtualization happening on these devices.

Holy cow, thanks for the fast response. And I just went to splashtop's website... That just looks great, exactly what I would want.

Is it better than Logmein Ignition?

from the videos, it look a lot better.
If you are looking for something like RDP, then pocketcloud is good app... which I prefer over a apps like logmein which require installation on the client.

Yes it can do all that. It even streams video files pretty well. It sends the audio to the tablet as long as you set your desktop machine to stereo sound.

I've used both, on my iPhone and now on my Acer (the trial, I'm not gonna buy it when it will be free on my transformer).
If you have a strong wifi connection it's awesome.
It's awesome that ASUS includes it for free.

Since I have a captive audience..
Can you log in, play music, then switch back to the tab and still have the music playing in the background (like if I wanted to browse the web from the tablet's apps while i listen to the music from the remote log in)?

splashtop
I posted a video (review II) on youtube with a little demo on splashtop
and another one (splashtop tutorial) shows how to set it up if you want to connect to your computer outside of a local network
go check it out if u'd like, sorry I can't post links here yet

Splashtop
Your reviews were awesome!

i just tried out Splashtop (the link is inside the Mycloud app btw not seperate logo) and it streams video and sound great. I tried it with Zune software and it worked great.

Video streaming app?

Hey what do you guys like for video streaming? What about Jetflix? I am thinking about trying it but Im not sure

Not sure peoples obsession with netflix lately, hell im watching netlfix right now!, i did use it on my htc incredible which was fully supported, untill they get it running on the charge i will continue to use Plex for video streaming i Love my PLEX available from market, used with a plex media server available plexapp.com on my windows 7 server with decent specs. I stream ANY of my 4 terabytes of video content stored on local hard drives. to my droid charge, if you have decent home internet along with a decent video collection i highly recommend it

Hey dabomb...ive been trying.to set up plex as well ..but for claritys sake, youre streaming your videos to your phone outside of your home network to your phone via 3g/4g? Or just within your home network?

I really like Emit Free but it only works locally right now. (WiFi only)
I've tried PlayOn, VLC, Gmote, SAMBA, etc, and never found a really acceptable solution for this until now.

Plex is in one word awesome. It works great inside and outside your home network. If you are having trouble accessing plex outside your local network go into advanced settings on your plex app flush the cache. This is a known issue and they are working on a fix for the next release.
I am assuming you have already forward your ports from your router.

[Q] Any good apps on the market?

Ive been looking for some decent apps for my Nexus one and i have been able to find very few that i like. If anyone can give me some apps that are handy or games that are fun it will be gladly appreciated.

I would think in order to get a decent response, you would want to narrow down what it is you are looking to do.
If you can think of it, it has an app. If it doesn't......start learning how to design apps and make some coin
But here goes with a few of my faves............
AudioGalaxy
For portable music from my HDD. Full access to my home music collection.
The best app in my opinion is AudioGalaxy. It has magic metadata that somehow seems to get all names and artwork right. It ports into your personal collection and can be streamed over data or wifi. You can make playlists on the go that store in a folder on your PC at home. It is simply amazing, and with even just a decent signal, it streams virtually flawlessly.
I can't say enough about it, other than GET IT !!
To top it all off, it is 100 % free. But I found it so good that I actually bought the add ons just to support the development of the app.
Hands down my favorite music app, and in the top 5 of my all time apps.
AirDroid
Wifi transfer your media/files from or to your Android device and PC. Uses your browser and has a cool interface that you can shuffle around like a desktop. Hasn't dropped a transfer yet. Free. Very cool app.
WiFi Explorer PRO
Same as Airdroid pretty much. Works awesome. Great support. I bought this before I found AirDroid. Both are great and transfer fairly fast for WiFi. Interfaces thru browser as well. Very good app.
ES File Explorer
Hands down my favorite file management app. Transfer files between phone/home windows shares/ftp server/bluetooth shares/online storage drives.
One of the most popular on the market. Somewhat customizable. Plain and simple it is THE file managment app in my opinion.
Tablet Talk
This app allows your non-3G/data enabled tablet (wifi only), to link via wifi or bluetooth to your data/wifi smartphone.
If you have your cell phone charging in another room and on, you can connect your tablet to it, and you can then text or call from it using your data/contract plan.
Very cool app. Comes in handy in various situations.
iMediaShare
VERY cool app !! this app acts as both a server or a client on your network. It can pick up other dlna/upnp servers, and connect as a client. Or it can act as a server, porting various media shares/local files to a specified device like a PS3 or a 360.
What is REALLY cool, is that you can web stream various websites, like YouTube or HD Nation by browsing the site on the app, finding the vid/s you want, and point it to the PS3. You then go to you media server section on your PS3 or 360, and voila, that video is onscreen.
You can search YouTube, and then view the whole search query. As well, on the PS3 you can copy these vids to your HDD.
What is truly amazing is the amount of web sites to choose from.
Motorz HD
Vimeo
Revision HD
YouTube
The White House channel
Nasa
TED
CBS
....and the list goes on and on and is growing all the time.
You can stick with the free (lite) version which has 80% available and standard definition video. If you pay the 2 bucks or whatever for the full version, you can access a few more channels but you get the HD channels as well.
I have a whack of HD music vids from YouTube, stored on my PS3 now because of the ease of this app. Simply awesome !!!!
OverSkreen
The coolest browser on the market ! It'a a floating browser. (I would link you to my YouTube clip on it, but I am still a noob so unfortunately I can't link you any of these and you have to Google them yourself)
Anyways, back on track.
Overskreen floats on your desktop to give you a windows effect. You can run one app, and have your Overskreen window tucked in the corner watching a mini youtube vid. Hard to describe, I suggest checking it out.
Very innovative. The app is getting better everyday, but is still new so it has some bugs. Either way, it may change the future of smartphones and tablets. Check it out.
Games
GTA III - no need for explanation. Only game I have. Pretty sweet. Costs a few bucks but worth it.
Wallpaper
Jumpgate - simply one of the best wallpapers for your Android . Burns your battery a little more, but it's definitely cool.
So there's a few for you. Not sure if you are looking for something else, but these are some of the most used and actually useful apps in my inventory.
I can add to this later as I think of more.
BUT........
If you really want to have fun and tinker. Custom ROM's is where it's at.
My Telus Mobility Nexus now has a lockscreen carrier name of:
Smell-us Slo-bility
...and my opening boot animation is the little Androids on the the Tron bikes that collide in an X shape and explode into the Galaxy Nexus logo.
Good luck. You've dived into a world of fun simply by picking Android.

Still DLNA trouble

Hi all,
Recently i created a thread about some remote connections that were not really working out that well on the TF300..
Nobody gave me a response so i try it again ..
Somehow remote connections wont work properly on the TF300.
Unified remote and DLNA features wont work. Sometimes i can see my laptop and stream music to it but an hour later i have to reboot, restart apps, enable wifi disable, whatever to get it to work.
This problem is also in the unified remote app.
Now this can't be a problem on the tablet because my dad, with exactly the same tablet got exactly the same problems..
Come on XDA help me

Few things first....
My net app of Asus is crap... use bubble upnp
Don't use WiFi direct... it is not supported yet in jelly bean
Sent from my HTC HD2 using Tapatalk 2

So what do you think is the best app for DLNA playback ?

Bubble upnp
Sent from my HTC HD2 using Tapatalk 2

Upnplay : free from the market. Lousy interface, but fast and reliable. Has ability to have unlimited cache (=available memory) to load song and video listings.
I also often use J River Media Center (paid windows app) combined with Gizmo (free on market) on Android. That's the only solution which works fast enough with a very large (>100.000 songs) music collection. You need to leave your pc on and have JRiver running though, but it works great for all music, video & pictures that you manage on the pc through JRiver. Really, really fast.
