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.

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.

This only allows you to control VLC on your PC, won't allow you to play anything on the phone.
Zune will convert 99% of the media it can't natively play and it will do it pretty quickly and with very good quality. At some point in the future we will most likely be able to copy/past files onto the device and use 3rd party video software.

\what about youtube files . flv files ?
youTube files .flv files, I suppose can't, as I usually download the YouTube videos with iFunia YouTube Converter and then it convert the flv files automaticly for me.
There are 2 players that normally can play many file type.
VLC player and Gomplayer, VLC is free~
here you can get: download.cnet.com/VLC-Media-Player/3000-13632_4-10267151.html
No dice as of now. Not possible without usb mass storage support, how else would you copy&paste the files over? The Zune software will only sync files it supports.
I'd say convert your .flv files to a common video format that every device can use, like .avi or .mp4 to name a few. I do it for my music videos downloaded from youtube. Those file formats should copy over easily. If not, zune will convert them effortlessly.
sent from my MB200 using xda app
thank you all for the reply. but the hell if i am going to back to converting movies before playing them. gone those days when i wanted to put movies on my nokia phone because it couldnt play **** but mp4 or 3gp.
i think i will hold on for a while. plus the fact i cant purchase paid apps because i dont live in the US is a deal breaker too.
i guess i should wait for while. bummer, i really liked the browser and the interface a little of the device.
so .. any updates since then or still nothing yet ?
Nope I wish there was though. I travel a lot and take that time to watch movies and tv shows on my phone. I still have to carry around my TP2 while I travel now to enjoy my media. I completely agree that the days of conversion should be over now. I used to laugh at other devices that couldn't play xvid natively and now I'm in that boat .
I really hope this feature emerges either natively or through a 3rd party eventually.
this is why 3 people I know of traded back to android again. they thought they could just ftp over a movie fike (like on ios) and play it on the phone.
one of them actually said "so my phone.... can't. share a file..... with other PHONES?"
then the other guys shook their heads and continued moving music around between themslves. no computers, no chords, and no transcoding.
the one guy bought a galaxy tab along with a thunderbolt, and tried to craigslist his samsung.
all because there is no fole support. wow.
Semi-convenient workaround

After reading your post I decided to tinker a bit and found a semi-convenient workaround.
I tested downloading video releases for the iTouch and found that if I transfer them using the USB Device Enabler into the Storage\Video folder on my device choosing 'Don't convert just copy' when you transfer the video, then it shows up and plays back fine on the phone.
Obviously it would be ideal if i could playback any codec but for now this will do.
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.
Dolphin Browser HD was updated to 8.0.0 the other day, and prior to that I was able to visit sites like Twit.tv and ipad.tvcatchup.com and it would ask me which video player I wanted to open the stream with
I would normally pick the stock video player and it would play the stream
Now though, its just asking me to save the stream as a file and if I try to open it with any video player, it says it can not play this type of video
I did manage to get twit.tv to work with MX Video Player after finding a new stream link, but tvcatchup refuses to play
Even if I goto the downloads folder and tell it to open with the stock video player it refuses to work
I can't understand why a browser update would stop a video player working though
Stock .17 ICS
Anyone got any ideas? Ive tried different video players and they all fail to play the stream
cheers
Its one of those dreadful 'features' as I've come to find out, downloading the whole video instead of streaming, but it's broken :/ Should be fixed in the next update. If you managed to get ahold of the 8.0 beta instead of the 8.0 public release it should still work as before, its on the web somewhere I'm sure.

I`ll have a hunt for 8.0 beta thanks
Just worked out that telling stock browser to request desktop site allows streaming to the stock video player again but Dolphin I think downloads the wrong playlist file and subsequently the video player doesn't know what to do with it
EDIT - 8 beta does the same thing
EDIT - Found and installed 7.6.0 and all streams are working again
Hi community !
I'm refering to the huge community here because I have an issue with my TF700 when I'm trying to watch streaming videos on dpstream.net
We I have received my tab, I've directly installed the adobe flash player for ICS package.
I'm used to Chrome, so I installed it. When I was going to dpstream.net, I was able to watch movies without any problem.
Then suddenly (or not suddenly but I can't figure what was the trigger) I wasn't able to watch streaming movies anymore. BUT, when using the stock browser (so not chrome anymore), it was still working.
The problem is that, since yesterday, nothing is working ! Neither Chrome nor the stock browser.
What am I supposed to do ?
For your information,
- I'm able to watch Youtube from the browser (so not using Youtube App).
- I'm able to watch movies on dpstream from my laptop (so not an issue with my account there)
- When I'm clicking on Flash Player Settings (on my TF700 / Applications), it opens a browser but empty (no settings available).
Does someone has a suggestion to solve this issue ?
Thanks in advance !
What format is the video streaming in? If it's divix or avi then I don't know if those can be played through a browser. When I've tried streaming those formats I get a unsupported format icon. I can play flash video streams using stock or boatbrowser. I don't know about chrome as I don't use it. I think chrome does not support adobe flash player so it wouldn't work. You can also try setting the browser to load as a desktop and not a mobile site.
