How to watch video's on Youtube
Jul 6 2007, 5:48 PM EDT
When I try to watch a video on youtube it says I have java turned off or I need to update my media player. Do I have to purchase another program to watch video's on youtube? 13  out of 13 found this valuable. Do you?

I have experienced all of the above

I am a pissed off user of this unit. As a stand alone unit it works perfectly except for when my ear feels like it is on fire from the heating issue explained above.

Then I have the At&t Rom Upgrade that was a disaster. I lost Icons, internet explorer didn't want to work, but I was able to figure that out. I lost the capability to connect to the internet with my PC SINCE the upgrade.

The youtube problem I have also. You would have thought that was addressed with the Rom Upgrade but I think video access is a feature that we have to PAY for. Far as my music I am like someone above also I have YET to get my shared music library to play on the unit itself.

If this is suppose to be like a mini computer in your pocket then I expect the unit to have all the features and capabilities of its big brother and not have to pay EXTRA!

Customer Suport from At&t is a joke as they read off a script. No one thinks outside the box to help you and they are quick to point you to HTC. I will be calling HTC tonight to get the internet sharing complete will update on how that works out.

By the way "xdadevelopers.com" is a junk bot search site. Don't go there. 2  out of 3 found this valuable. Do you?

Funny I should read this. I JUST got off the phone with AT&T after not having internet for 2 weeks (since the rom upgrade). They were a little behind in their support pages they were following, but we did get it to work. The big trick was: after you set all the 'defaults', you need to cycle power. They were saying 'no you don't'. I do find it disturbing that they didn't pass the correct install guides/support info to their telco support folks...or us for that matter.

Next, 'shared' music. Hell, I can't get the 1G mini-sd to work properly period. music? 1 song at a time. pictures? yeah, like you really wanted to save them to your card. updating media player: i don't see a card or music on a storage card...what's a storage card? ...they really didn't make this a simple device to operate, and i've owned it 7 months. i'm going for the phone set that comes out as a mfg response to the iphone. i could give a rats .... about windows mobile 6. oh, flash player...that's a luxury enjoyed primarily by my full blown computers...ha!

"When I try to watch a video on youtube it says I have java turned off or I need to update my media player. Do I have to purchase another program to watch video's on youtube?"
There are a lot of forums and a lot of claims stating ... " this software , that download , etc " will work and allow you to view youtube on your mobile device. Unfortunately despite everyones claim that this and that program will work.... pretty much seems to be a false claim. ( Hey I could be wrong , someone probably has something that will work ) As of now. Youtube and Google video use flash player 8 ...the latest flash player for the 8525 is version 7 . There are many programs out there to download your fav youtube videos on your phone and convert the file so it will play... but i've yet to come across any that will actually stream. However if someone has heard of a flv. file streaming program ....do share ;-) Do you find this valuable?

I am using HTC Mogul and I can watch youtube from my phone. You need to use tcpmp to watch it and the instruction are here:
http://www.sprintmogul.net/Forum/tabid/54/ptid/370/page/1/totrecs/64/threadid/344/forumtype/posts/Default.aspx

This most likely works for whatever phone you use as long as it is windows mobile 5 or 6.

THere are two different programs to download that will stream youtube and google as well out there . VTap is works great on any pocket pc or smartphone. It's actually a bit cooler than streaming from youtube because not only do the search results include videos from you tube., but google and daily motion as well . Do you find this valuable?

Thanks ! Since posting that statement earlier i've loaded Vtap , Avot ( similar to vtap ) and TCPMP with a video bundle that actually lets you stream from youtube. The later mentioned being the cooler by far. A few replies up is link posted by " silversurferdude " that can direct you to get the TCPMP bundle onto your phone. I'd highly reccomend that . ;-) Do you find this valuable?

Glad that works out for you !! For those people that are going to try, make sure you don't miss the part that you should access the non-mobile youtube website. I also tried video.google.com and works great.

PS. sprintmogul.net server seems to be down at this moment

I downloaded and tried to install the two programs listed on the sprintmogul site. The FlashVideoBundle.1.2.CAB loaded fine BUT the TCPMP 0.72.RC1 said that it would not install because it was from an untrusted source. Any ideas? 1  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

When I installed it (on my Mogul and Q), it warned me the same thing, but I was allowed to install anyway. Perhaps your device does not allow this? I don't know if there is a configuration somewhere on the setting for this, perhaps you have to tweak the registry. I'll let u know if I find something about it. Do you find this valuable?
