Youtube? Stuff like that won't work...
Mar 29 2008, 6:37 PM EDT
I have the Mogul... When I go to sites like youtube, and I want to watch a video, it goes to the windows media player, connects, then a message comes up saying "cannot perform the requested action at this time"..... I'm kinda new to this whole smartphone thing so I probably sound like a noob, but weren't we all at one time or another???? a little help would sure be appreciated... Thanks.

Thanks."attached is a link to the HTC Streaming Media Player. Unzip the .cab file and save it to your device. Then goto File Explorer on your device and open it from there. It will self instill. Make sun to instill it to install it to your device and not a memory card. Now, when you goto YouTube, it will work propely. http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=58145&d=1195040893 |

I am reviewing a Tablet pc for www.pocketnow.com and it doesn't have a keyboard. So I am writing everything on the screen. I am trying to see whet it's like using it as my only computer :-) |

I went ahead and downloaded the media player, then I went to youtube and tried to look at a video.... the player came up and it said "connecting" then a server timed out message came up.... tried it over and over and it kept happening... tried it on wifi and sprint network and the same thing kept happening... any ideas? am I doing something wrong? I even tried getting the videobundlepack1.4.2.cab and nothing.....

"you need to download 3rd party software called tcpmp"You shouldn't need it anymore. I hare the HTC Streaming Media Player installed and I can view YouTube just fine, without the flash bundle. Of course, if you want to view other video sites, then the the TCPMP fix is better |

U can go to vtap.com and download it to ur phone and after downloading go to settings, then today, then items, select it and it should show up on ur home screen. If not, reset the phone and it should automatically show up.

Hey Rainman, you seem like you know what ur talkin about with this stuff. I went to xda-developers.com and registered. Then I tried going to the link you provided above and I get a white screen that reads "404 - not found". Do you know why this is? However, I was able to go the vtap.com route as someone else suggested, but it is not the same as youtube. Do you have any suggestions?

I actually downloaded it on my laptop and then active synched it to my phone..... Because the download button wasn't showing up on my phone but it was on the comp... So there's that way you can go... |
