hello,
i have an omnia 7 and since a few days the m.youtube.com site does not work anymore. it opens the site, but there is no video to play (though it displays the video description and a sign where it says "video is loading"). then it redirects me to the desktop site (i think) but the screen stays white.
anyone has the same problem?
hm.. it works fine for me on my Mozart. I see the website, I see the video and if I click it, the youtube app opens and plays the file.
You could try using the HTML5 streaming - WP7 can play MP4 movies embedded in HTML5 <video> tags, and YouTube supports this - by going to http://youtube.com/html5 and opting in (on your phone). I usually use the desktop mode, which didn't launch in the (kind of lame) app anyhow.
hi i had this issue before on the address bar try https://m.youtube.com in other words the secure HTTP "HTTPS" for one reason or another the HTTP dint work for me.
I had the same problem, and manually specifying the HTTPS protocol worked for me.

I know mobytube worked perfect for me until youtube updated their website, about a month or a couple of weeks ago. im wondering if its only me who's experiencing these playing problems (the video opens in tcpmp, but doesn't play and later displays error: this type of motion jpeg is not supported) Im wondering if there is a solution to this, is it just my pda, or is it actually the site. Thank you!
is it just youtube or any streamin video, your isp may have bloked the ports.
It works fine for me. You may want to check to see if it's you ISP. Goodluck.
well, when I go on my computer youtube works fine, and I use the same internet connection for both my pda and computer (ad hoc). Only on my pda does it not buffer, as I described above.
m.youtube.com did you try this
Hi!
In the UK we have a website called iPlayer where you can access all of BBC's content from the previous week.
This website is available to two mobile phones, the Apple iPhone and the Nokia N96.
The way this is made available to the iPhone, is that the iPlayer website detects that it is been browsed from an iPhone, and therefore it gains access to streams that are encoded in 400Kbps H.264 video, 116Kbps AAC audio format, which the G1 should also be able to handle perfectly. However, when I try to browse to the iPlayer website I am prompted to download Flash, which the regular desktop version uses.
Now, I believe that there is three solutions to this:
1. Wait for BBC to enable G1 users to access the iPlayer the same way as the iPhone out of the box. - Ideal, but likely to take some time.
2. Mask the G1's browser to look like the iPhone's Safari browser - Best solution at the moment.
3. Wait for flash to arrive - Not ideal, you will get a format on the video that is encoded for PC users, and will probably even be unplayable on the G1 due to the high resolution on the video.
As most people would agree, we should try to mask the G1 browser as the iPhone Safari browser, I am not so much into the world of web browsers, so I do not now how to do this. I understand that we need to change the signature of the browser, but I don't have a slightest clue on how to do so.
Therefore I ask the know-it-all's here on the xda-dev forums!

Thanks a lot!

edit:
It seems that if you use the third-party browser 'Steel' you can choose what to mask it as, however, there seems to be no video streaming capabilities in Android?
The webpage loads as if it was on the iPhone, but when you try to select a episode, nothing happens...
i believe the steel browser in the apps can do this. correct me if im wrong.

You are correct, Steel allows you to pretend the browser is the iPhones, G1's, or Desktop.
(EDIT: I just read this and it sounds like an ad - I have no affiliation with Orb at all. I just got a bit excited that it was working so easily!)
So I've read forum after forum on youtube videos on mobiles (I have a kaiser/tilt) I've played with numerous methods, watched the crappy mini youtube vids and on and on. I was using Kinoma (I paid for it, very nice and I use it all the time) but yesterday I found the answer was so EASY!
A few months ago I installed Orb - (just google for link) It is free software that links your home machine to the net. It runs in the background on your home machine and allows you to link to any file you initially gave access to from any other machine on the www. I use it to stream all my recorded TV shows - including HD shows to my phone. It works great and I've really put it thru it's paces. Like having a mini TV tuner on my phone.
Anyway, TO THE GOOD STUFF. I was looking for other videos (movies and Netflix downloads to test) I had on my home machine and saw a link under the VIDEO tab called Online Videos. From here I can seach for Youtube videos, Google Videos, AOL, Photobucket, Yahoo, and Guba videos. Now I just found this last night, so I haven't looked at how it is done. I assume it is streamed to my home pc and encoded back up for my phone. but it plays the youtube video thru windows media player (as I have my settings on orb set). So it has to be re-encoded right?
AWESOME SOFTWARE - and it's free. I can't beleive that the answer was so easy and right in front of me for weeks.
Happy Streaming - Will
How it works...
So I just got home and had a minute to look up how orb works. From the orb webpage...
http://www.orb.com/en/orb_networks_...e_other_internet_videos_mobile_for_first_time
How Orb MyCasting Works
A simple download of the Orb software to an always-on Windows PC is all it takes to start MyCasting. Instantly, the Orb applications allows users to stream the YouTube RSS feed from their home computer to any Web-enabled mobile device with a browser. Orb automatically transcodes the video stream into the appropriate media format, bitrate, and screen resolution for the user's mobile phone. No specialized mobile software or separate carrier contract is required to enjoy Internet Video on mobile
Now I can't actually surf the full youtube, but any videos can be searched for and watched without any extra sofware on my phone.

I can do that already with the latest Opera 9.5 No need to keep my home pc or anything running.

Carty..
I stumbled across this site recent (moodio.fm), but can't get it working on my HTC touch. I downloaded HTC Streaming Media player, which can stream m.youtube videos, but can't seem to open moodio.fm radio stations. Anyone else come across this?
I'm on the Bell network btw, maybe Bell blocks certain ports?
Any help is appreciated.
I have an HTC Fuze and would also like an answer to this question. The streaming medial player won't seem to open Moodio links. Moodio is a great site with tons of great stations. Anyone have a fix to opening these links?
some times use mediaplayer streaming or realplayer or quicktime so being able to play youtube matters little in those cases
I would mess around with different browsers to see both on the computer and the pda
The Moodio site says the link should open with the streaming media application, and when you click the link it does bring up the streaming media player, but it does not load and gives a message that "media file type not supported".

anyone figure this out yet? I recall it working with some othe streaming app on the diamond, but since I've reflashed the ROM I lost the app.
Hello. I've been searching for a solution to this for quite some time and finally found a way to stream Moodio, from a totally unrelated thread here on XDA-Developers. It's a bit complicated, mind you, but so far it's worked for me every time both over WiFi and HSDPA on my Xperia X1.
Try the following:
1. Go to m.moodio.fm and log in.
2. Click on a station you wish to play. At this point, the HTC Streaming Player will launch and you will receive the "unsupported media type" error. You will also now have a file downloaded by Moodio in your My Documents folder called Listen.sdp.
3. Rename the .sdp file to .txt (either on the PC or with something like Resco Explorer so that it can be opened in Word Mobile. Alternatively you can install the HouMing File Explorer extension, select the Open With Program option, and open the file with Word Mobile, so as not to have to rename the file.
4. Look for the entry that begins with the string 'a=control:' and contains the 'rtsp://'. Example: 'a=control:rtsp://moodio-3.seeas.nl/3938994'.
5. Ignore the 'a=control:' and copy the part of the string that begins with 'rtsp//'. Example: 'rtsp://moodio-3.seeas.nl/3938994'.
6. Open your media player (in my case, the HTC Streaming Media player), and paste this text in the URL field. The station should then play as expected. (Note that you can also play the station by pasting this text into the address bar of your browser like Pocket IE, which will then automatically launch the Streaming Media Player and play it. At this point I save the file to Favorites in the HTC Streaming Media Player so I can play it any time I wish.
I thought I would post this since I have searched and searched and have not seen anyone mention this alternative with respect to Moodio.
Hope this helps those of you who, like me, have had no luck in streaming Moodio on your Windows Mobile device up to now.
Hi,
I'm the developer behind moodio.fm. I used an Xperia X1 myself for sometime last year and i'm very sure Moodio played on it without the need for this trick.
Have you tried different browsers? As far as i remember it only worked in IE.
If you provide me with your Moodio user name i can check the exact user agent string the phone sends and add an exception in our system to redirect these phones to the direct rtsp url instead of returning an SDP file.

Hello Oele. Wow, that would be fantastic! I can tell you that I joined Moodio some time back (I believe perhaps June or July of last year), and I have always received the .sdp file on my Xperia X1A since day one. I tried to find a solution back then and couldn't, so gave up for a while and didn't use Moodio. I recently decided to search once more to see if I could find something and this is when I came across the workaround described in my prior post. But if you can make it so that my device is automatically redirected to the rtsp URL, that would be wonderful. I have only tried this with IE, BTW, as that is the only browser I use. My Moodio username is queenv. If you need any additional information, please let me know. Thanks again!
Could you try again? You should now get a redirect to the RTSP url.

Yes! I just tried it and I certainly do! Now it just plays and I no longer have to do my workaround. Thanks a million!!!!
Hi all, using WVC on an android phone -
Although generally it works well, I get it stop every 10 minutes, I have to open the app, restart the stream and restream it. I am 99% sure its due to Androids aggressive battery optimisation, I have done as much as I can but cannot get the behaviour to change and now giving up on that.
I am wondering if there is any PC based alternative that has the same capability? Web video caster doesn't cast the browser tab, it finds the video stream in the page and sends that directly over wifi to the app which runs on the TV, its full screen and high quality and doesn't use Chromecast.
The TV's built in browser doesn't work for video sites, (probably missing a lot of plugins) and cast tab to the builtin chromecast doesn't work as it only works for "specific sites"
Any suggestions?
Do a Google search for "PC alternative to Web video caster?". You'll get dozens of findings ...
