Coreplayer 1.2.1 with YOUTUBE on Polaris

hello,
please poste here your feedback about youtube integration with new coreplayer 1.2.1.
for me that's working very well with H263 hight video quality and WIFI connection.

I like it too!!!
You dont have to download every part of movie, that u want to watch and it runs very well!

How are you guys upgrading your version? I am a registered owner however, I did not pay for Handango's re-download service. The Core site does not offer a download of a trial (so I can apply my reg code).
TIA!

Hmmm, I got mine through Mobihand and I got an email from them saying a new version was released. Logging into Mobihand gave me the option to download the update from my My Account page. Handango has something similar I thought. If not, is it OK to post the cab file here?

Is this version able to play .flv files and is the direct connection to youtube without problems ?

Is there any way to improve the quality of the video?

We do not support FLV... what we do is allow you to select the quality of the stream your device can handle based on the available streams hidden (to the public) on YouTube. Essentially YouTube in CorePlayer Mobile or Pro will _ALWAYS_ be better then even YouTube.com because there is no need for:
1) A web browser
2) Adobe Flash

hello,
there is no trial version, you can get it for 25$ at mobihand.com

I've got a fair bit of problems with this Youtube integration. Firstly I get a lot of file cannot be found errors pointing to rtsp://*.3gp links, even though I have the quality set to h264.
With h264 YT-videos I also get a lot of stuttering, particularly if there's a lot of action or detail. Some videos work perfectly. Some only work some of the time, and some are unwatchable. The audio plays, but the video stutters. Yet, it never stops to buffer. Shouldn't it? I can't find any way to make it download some of it before playing either.
What kind of throughput is needed to get these h264-streams smooth? I'm guessing 1Mbit is not enough.
I also did try the medium quality setting, but that was simply unwatchable. Pretty much impossible to make out any detail. Very grainy/blocky. Is this normal?
That aside though, I'm loving the feature, if I can only get it working satisfactory.

Betaboy, any chance Coreplayer can work with Hulu.com?

I've just downloaded CorePlayer v1.2.1 and have been playing around with it. I'm without WiFi at the moment, so I've attempted to play back over 3G, but I just get the download cursor. I'll have to try WiFi when I get home.
Although it has the built in CorePlayer button, is there anyway I could get it to kick off from the YouTube web page ?
The web page link kicks off the HTC Streamign Media app. Do I need to make a .FLV association with Coreplayer ?
Also, I'd be interested to know if it is possible to playback other Web Media Content sites, such as Google Video.
* EDIT *
Ignore this. I just saw the other thread of enabling the .RTP and .RTSP file associations. It seems to direct to CorePlayer now.
But I still haven't been able to view any content over 3G!

you'll have to wait 10-15 seconds until the buffer is filled enough to begin playing...
and the 'TODO' list has been updated in the other thread... i was going through my network related settings in coreplayer and may have found something

Could anyone tell me what shortcut I could use to start Coreplayer straight into YouTube mode ? I'd like to link it to HTC Home or the Cube.
Any ideas ?
Thanks

What do you mean by "youtube mode"?
You can't use coreplayer to browse youtube videos... only to stream them to your PDA...
But if you have a specific address for specific video that's another story... Otherwise youll have to search for the videos through Opera or PIE...

Coreplayer v1.2.1 has a YouTube icon at the bottom righthand corner (next to the Media Library one). By pressing on it, you can browse for videos. It seems as if an online browsing interface is built into Coreplayer v1.2.1 specifically for YouTube.
I'm trying to find a shortcut to go directly to this page.
I've also found that browsing YouTube via Opera does start Coreplayer (by having RTP and RTSP protocols compatible), but the video errors out.
So the only means I have of accessing YouTube content is using that icon from within Coreplayer... Hence I'm seeking a direct shortcut to link in from HTC Cube.

Decent Web Browser at all?

I got a new orbit 2 a few days ago, only to be dissapointed about the web browser capabilities.
I tried opera, but dont like how the fit to screen option distorts the page and desktop option makes the page become massive and difficult to navigate.
Also, is there anyway way of watching online videos SMOOTHLY?
The flash plugin works but its really choppy.
Not sure whether ill be keeping the upgrade, taking offers for it.

The choppy video is probably because of the driver issues (you can read more about it in the forums if you search a little)
And did you get opera 8.5 bundled with your phone? Opera 9.5 is much smoother and better looking than the 8.5 version (imo), and i'll suggest you try upgrading to it to see if there is any difference.

I watched the video regarding Opera 9.5 but its still not released, and by the looks of what I gathered from other forums, people are becoming impatient.
Im currently using Opera 8.65 and no it wasnt bundled with my phone.
So will those driver issues fix the choppy video playback?.
Normal videos saved to the device work fine its just the online ones that use a flash applet like dailymotion

Try Skyfire (you'll have to sign up for it), is really amazing, is very fast and smooth

Need to do some more research on it before you get it I guess.
Anyways, CorePlayer, TCMP player all play videos fine.
ALL browsers are FINE and work great for different things.
I myself use pocket IE for sites that are in mobile format, and opera 9.5 "beta" for sites that are not in mobile format. I would use opera mobile if it wouldn't install over my 9.5, instead of pocket IE, but all my text based sites work fine in pocket IE (ebay, paypal, howardforums, flickr, youtube, etc)
I don't really know who watches youtube videos or other internet based videos via their browser, I've always seen them being watched through TCMP, CorePlayer, WMP streaming or HTC streaming media.
There are no official driver updates coming.
I am unsure as to the technology that Dailymotion uses, but if it's youtube based then you should have no problems.
I think you are looking for a desktop in a pocketpc, which no one has quite yet. Maybe an HTC advantage, who knows.
Doesnt matter what phone you have, all software will run the same if the devices were made in the same time frame.
Oh and I assume orbit 2 is in Europe somewhere? None the less, Skyfire is available to U.S. numbers only apparently for it's beta. Maybe NetFront would work for you, try that. I hated it.

Have you tried Opera Mini? Their new beta v4.1 can be downloaded and really works great. My favorite browser so far.

try opera with limit paragraph on. that's amazing.

Opera 9 (beta) is working really well, especially for a beta. Panning in web pages is pretty smooth most of the time and as the above poster said, with limit paragraph on, reading articles on news sites, etc is doable.
The negatives are it is a beta so bugs here and there. Other issues are the touch keyboards (numbers only) don't work and neither does pocketCM (space between every character). I don't believe there is flash support in the browser either.
I use PIE for youtube/flashbundle combo.

whats flash bundle?

do a search on it. it allows you to watch videos from sites like youtube (the real youtube not the mobile version of it). those sites use flash video and the flashbundle is a plugin for PIE that enables that functionality in PIE.

I have the flash 7 plugin, is that the same thing?
Whenever i try and load the non-mobile version of u-tube on PIE,
The whole phone just crashes and i have to take the battery out!

You know there is a little round hole on the bottom of the device next to the USB called the 'Reset Hole"??? Put the stylus in it and you won't have to get the battery out....

Just search for TCMP and FlashVideoBundle cab files and install them.
When you go to youtube.com and watch a vdieo, it will give you an option of saving or playing the video. It uses the true youtube video not some crappy mobile version as said before, and it's really smooth. I watch cartoons and shows that way that i can't get on my tv, it's a life saver. really great quality and resolution for my cruise.

Try NetFront 3.5 for the ultimate web experience on a phone It's a class of it's own
You can get it here.

Picsel browser is fast and smooth and does a nice job of re-formatting, also reads .PDF files and a bunch of other things
Opera mini 4.1 is very good for browsing although I don't like the way you input web addresses, and lack of file save features.
And for tabbed browsing newest Opera or Pieplus

If the player on the page is based on Flash then possibly yes...

I just installed Flash 7 and it hosed my PIE. Froze the phone and had to soft reset. Could not view any page with flash content. I uninstalled and I'm back to being able to view with TCPMP. So basically flash 7 is not compatible with PIE... I was thinking about trying it with Opera Mini but didn't even get that far. Is Flash 7 necessary with Opera Mini or Opera 9.5?

Not sure what the fascination is with playing YouTube thru the browser. I am not a real big YouTube user but I find that vTap is more than sufficient at playing whatever it is I need.

How to get Hulu.com and Fancast.com working on WM

I usually dont like to ask for help, but I have exhausted my resources searching and trying things. I am trying to watch hulu.com videos on my windows mobile device. Things I have tried and failed are listed below. Any suggestions, fixes, or workarounds are greatly appreciated and will benefit the entire community not just me.
1: Using Skyfire hulu.com attempts to start the video and then comes up on the screen that hulu doesnt support anonymous proxy configurations and that you must be in the US to view etc.. I am in the US and have even tried using my PC's internet connection for the internet on my Mobile Device and it says the same thing.
2: Using Skyfire fancast.com tries to start the video but just says loading and never actually starts the video.
3: Changing the UA string to various other things.
4: Using Opera Mini, Opera Mobile, and Pocket IE. All of which do not get as far as Skyfire.

Uzard web browser nearly does it. It plays the ads on hulu, but can't load the shows in its viewer (tcpmp).
What would be awesome is a hulu downloader. Most of those are dedicated to porn, though, lol.

Just as you said, ads play but not the actual show. Thanks for the reply though I like the browser.

this has nothing to do with dev or hacking, please post in the correct forum.
moved to Q&A.

Browser with Flash Player

Guys want to introduce a browser that has Flash Player embedded.
How many people and even myself feeling we missed the Adobe Flash Player in the Browser Application "Puffin Web Broser Free" The Problem of the Flasher Player finishes him you can watch tv online trough the web .... The program is easy to locate the Google Market

Puffin browser
The Free version of Puffin browser works through cloud to work out the Flash content & JavaScript for your RAZR i
Well it takes a few seconds to prepare & it's ready to use.:good:
First thing that pops to your Flash experience is the limits of the screen - the browser dealt with it by introducing a small touchpad.
Well the free trial goes for 2 weeks, I'll give it a try.

MXQ Android TV Box & Amazon Video

Afternoon all,
Just looking for a bit of advice, I've recently bought a MXQ Android TV Box which I hoped to use on our main tv for Amazon Prime Video. I've installed the apk from the amazon website and logged into my account, I can see all the tv and films on offer although when I click to play the file I get the usual orange circle and then the screen goes black and I get redirected back to the choose a video. Seems to work file on my Samsung Tablet and Justop windows mini pc.
Any tried Amazon videos with one of these recently? Any help would be great.
Cheers
Dave

Looks like the trailers are working fine

I have had similar issues with the recent versions of the Amazon video apps. I began to think they just want their fire TV to dominate the tv. I now use a older version of their app side loaded from my 6 year old Sony goggle tv blue ray player which i never update.. It basically gives the Web site for the interface but at least it works. You might use yor Web browser and save the amazon video page as a bookmark on your desktop.

Tried dolphin, Firefox & Chrome to play the videos with no luck on the website. Same as you now though I found an old apk and installed that which plays the videos from the website. ?

I too have the same problem with Amazon prime video on my MXQ. Did anyone find any solution​

Same here
Any news about that, i have the same issue, the app installe dcorectly, but when i run the stream .. it says that the app encounted some error.

@RG GEIGER , @DaveG46
What version of the old apk did you find?

Sorry @neffly27 I've since switched to the fire TV cube which has its own set of limitations but happy so far. Anyway I'm not sure of the version of the app I used on my mx box but it was years ago from the original goggle tv on a Sony DVD player.
