Right now, if I go to a site that plays videos in flash, like Break.com for example, it will play the video on the website as if it was a desktop. and there is almost no way for me to control it because the buttons are too small (pause/play, skip, etc). In iPhone that would pop out and be played with quicktime player or whatever that native thing is. anyway to do this on this phone?
I don't believe you can do this with embedded flash videos. And just for comparisons, neither could the iPhone (with flash videos, that is).
Yeah, iPhone couldn't play flash videos at all. Only I think HTML 5 videos.
I did figure something out last night though. In dolphin browser I set user agent to iPhone. I was able to get videos that iPhone would "pop out" to also "pop out" and play with MX Player. So that was pretty cool
I also found that if I hit the fullscreen button while watching actual flash videos, it seems Dolphin has a sort of built in tool for that and it actually shows full sized buttons for pause and stuff. Though it would be cool if any/all videos popped out to play on MX Player.
might as well change the thread title to "How can I watch porn vids"
^ lol. Upnplay + Dice Player works great. Another of my favorite players is Stick It. Allows a floating player window that you can move/resize.

Actually, get VLC, set up a Video On Demand stream with the built in VLM manager, and then open that stream with the player, and you should be on your way. As far as flash videos though, that'll take a bit more trickery and it won't be live at all... you'll need a lot of stuff, but I can suggest the software to you. Camtasia (you'll be using Recorder in Live mode), and VLC opening a Capture Device (the camtasia driver, and your soundcard), set up camtasia to record the video window for the youtube page, and open the capture with vlc using RTP as the output stream. Encode the video at no more than 256kbps, and the audio no higher than 128kbps 2channel, and you should be fine. I'm thinking I might have to open a whole other thread on doing loopy things with the computer to get video/audio onto the wizard that shouldn't be there, but that's for another time.
or just use orb.com and I think they do something with youtube not sure about that one, but streaming is good
has anyone actually used the kinoma play program on their phone there is an add for it here just wondering what others think of it
Yeah, i've tried Kinoma Play.
Good-looking player. But cant play movies.
U have to buy the pro version...
Plays almost anything.
I'm not sure what he's talking about it not playing movies. The only mobile format that I've had trouble with is AVI. I don't really undersatnd why it doesn't play it, but it doesn't. So I dl'd pocket Divx for those.
I use Kinoma for almost all of my YouTube watching, music listening, and picture viewing. I have an Audible account, so I use it to stream the morning paper every day, as well as audiobooks for the ride home. I also use it with my Orb software to stream music and movies from my home desktop. My only real complaint is that the menu system is kind of clunky. You have to press back, back, back to return to the main menu. There ought to be a shortcut to the main menu. Other than that, I'm very happy with it.
I did end up getting the paid version, but I didn't actually pay for it. They have a TrialPay link, so I signed up for a trial of RealPlayer, got the software, then cancelled the trial a couple days later.
Hope this helps your decision
If it can't play .avi files, I'd say that player sucks. Better check out Core Player first for your Pocket PC. Don't even waste your time.
I found this thread too, more information about it and the BUGS it has: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=433026&highlight=kinoma+player
They don't support any type of AVI files, if you read through Kinoma's forum the creators say that it is too much trouble to support AVI due to all the variants of codec. They also state that most movies/TV shows that are pirated are in AVI format and they seem to be taking the moral highground over supporting it.
Very good as a music only player though, very swish interface.
I absolutely love Kinoma. I bought the pro version since.. well, I love it. I don't like watching movies on my phone AT ALL, so that's not a problem for me. The Internet radio feeds, podcasts and Flickr, Youtube, Audible, Orb, idisk and other features are awesome. I'd gladly pay for it again.
I love it! I only use Kinoma FreePlay because the Pro version offers me nothing more that I need. Ever since I installed it and found old MacGyver episodes, I've been doing a lot less work.

Also see my related remarks in my past articles.
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.
title pretty much says it all, trying to view some videos sent to me via MMS from an iphone and they wont play. ive tried multiple video players: Mplayer, arcsoft, vplayer, rock player, act 1 player, yxplayer, and a few others i cant remember. i've tried to use other forums/threads to get an answer and nothing seems to work. what do you guys suggest?
try MoboPlayer
Moboplayer
moboplayer would help...but if rock player cannot play it, i guess your file has been broken while passing to your phone..
Good morning,
I would like to ask, why I cannot choose to play a streaming video (like youtube videos) with mx-player and I can only play the stream with the browser built-in player. I use opera browser, but I have already tested a lot of different browsers without seeing any difference; the browsers don't give me the option to use another player, they don't see mx-player as an appropriate app.
Also I tried, to copy and past the videos URL into Network Stream box, but it doesn't work anyway.
Thank You for the support.
I use tubemate to watch youtube videos with less res.
Instead of downloading you can select watch it and select any player you want.

I still would like to figure out if there is a way to stream/play youtube video's automatically to my MX player...
The reason I want to find out, is that youtube is fast becoming the new music player of today... just type in a search for a band/artist (ie. "michael jackson") or general selection like (ie: "salsa music") and you'll be listening for hours to your favorite music.
But using the youtube app or the native browser is not satisfactory, because they will both stop playing/streaming once you lock the screen of your phone.
So if I want to listen to my favorite music while running, I can not use these sources.
MX player has the ability to keep streaming/playing music while the screen is locked...
And that is why I'm looking for a way to stream from youtube to this player.
Help!?!
