youtubeplay 1.0.0.11 - YouTube & FLV Player - now works on PPC2003

[milesmowbray]

This is my YouTube search/player application. Bit like the latest CorePlayer.

It allows you to search for videos in a nice friendly Pocket PC 2003 and greater app and then stream the full FLV video (not miniscule MPEG4 versions) within its own player.

This app can also download the FLV videos for offline use and also then extract the soundtrack to an MP3 file.

The app is written in a mixture of .net and C so you need the .net runtime, v2 or v3.5:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=e3821449-3c6b-42f1-9fd9-0041345b3385&displaylang=en

The video player overlay is hacked out of TCPMP and the FLV part is based on FFMPEG.

....CHANGELOG....

youtubeplay v1.0.0.11 updated 24/11/08, changes:

New - Fully works on Pocket PC 2003 now, found the horrid bug that stopped it
New - Will open and play VP6 (On2) FLV files, slow but should work
New - Uses newer version of FFMPEG SVN from a few days ago
Fix - Fullscreen should work if you start in landscape mode now

youtubeplay v1.0.0.10 updated 11/11/08, changes:

New - Added the facility to extract the audio as an MP3 from any saved FLV
Fix - HTC Streaming Media option should now work again
NOTE - I have now removed any efforts at getting this to work on devices with less than WM5, just wouldn't work.

youtubeplay v1.0.0.9 updated 27/10/08, changes:

Fix - "Failed to get security cookie" message, this was caused by YouTube changes. I have now entirely changed the way this bit works so that it is more like the flash player and should be a bit more resiliant to changes.
Fix - May work on Pocket PC 2003 devices again, please test.

youtubeplay v1.0.0.8 updated 10/10/08, changes:

Fix - -3 play error, which was caused by internal YouTube changes and some bad code!

youtubeplay v1.0.0.7 updated 12/5/08, changes:

Fix - Crash when switching to play video (problem on Kaiser ROM "Mobile Vista v1.3" and maybe others)
New - Added AppToDate support - had to change download location to my server
Fix - Can now reliably retrieve up to 50 results
New - Reverted config and results forms back to non fullscreen to enable SIP and menu
New - Hardware keys - dpad up/down = vol up/down, dpad right = ffwd, dpad left = back

youtubeplay v1.0.0.6 updated 8/5/08, changes:

New - All YouTube feeds now available
New - Related videos
New - Associate youtubeplay with FLV files

youtubeplay v1.0.0.5 updated 7/5/08, changes:

New - Added Save functionality
New - Added AV offset config setting to tweak lip sync
New - Added config setting to alter fullscreen rotation
New - Version number displayed in config screen
Fix - Landscape fullscreen now should be the right way round

youtubeplay v1.0.0.4 updated 7/5/08, changes:

New - Full screen application now - more space
New - Removed horrible toolbars, buttons back
New - VGA, QVGA, Portrait and landscape support
New - Config screen
New - Option to play smaller MP4 version of videos in HTC Streaming Media application
New - Buffer size configuration option
New - Option to set number of videos returned
New - Click on the search button again to get more results for same search
New - Load FLV video from file option
New - Made smaller
New - Video overlay set to GDI - better on Kaiser
Fix - Better error handling
Fix - numerous small fixes

youtubeplay updated 16/4/08, changes:

New black look
Removed buttons, added toolbar
VGA portrait support (only testing in emulator)
Click on video for fullscreen
Backlight keepalive

....

Things planned: Support for YouTube logons, video uploads, user favorites and better caching/buffering.

Things not planned: Other video sites.

Known issues: Square mode not quite right. Other character sets (Chinese etc.) don't work apparently. Close button sometimes takes a few pushes.

Everybody should note that this application will eat bandwidth, no consideration has been made for data consumed, so Wifi/ActiveSync or unlimited 3g only, be prepared for a big data bill otherwise. Won't work well on GPRS anyway as FLV vids are quite sizeable.

Comments / suggestions welcome.

[curious george]

Great! I'll give it a go.

CG

[hollywould]

Works Really good, great work. Its really smooth and easy to use.Good job.:)

[jiggad369]

WOW! GReat App!

May I make a request? Anyway you can make the "skin" a black color by any chance? My entire phone is customized to be in a dark tone and the white just looks very out of whack. Thank you very much for such a great app! Keep it up!

[ninjaz]

Great!!! I can't play with Coreplayer on my prophet, but this rocks! Wheel done, man. Thanks

[jpl69]

What can i say .....
Finaly i can see the real thing
Your the best.

[dzelaya18]

It just shuts down as soon as it buffers the video for me. It searches just fine and all, but right after buffering it closes itself. Tried a soft reset, but no change.

On a side note, would this be able to function as a stand alone FLV player? So that we could download FLV clips off the web, save them on the storage card and watch them later? I've tried the TCPMP w/ flash plugin solution but it never works for me.

[surur]

Very nice.

Can I make a few suggestions - Can the buttons be made larger and more finger-friendly, can the soft keys either be used for something or left out, and I dont think the d-pad does anything when the video is playing.

Also can the buttons be made rounder instead of square.

Surur

[nikjensie]

Great work. I would definitely like to see a Save Video function too though...

//Nik

[met3ora]

Can someone upload this to the forum please?

[dragonedge]

Already a regular program! would also love to see a download feature!

[jatt_inder]

sounds interesting...gonna try out soon

[mrmikemcguire]

Will this work if we are connecting to the internet via Proxy? I use tmobile..

[coney718]

Works well but one thing i've noticed is that when I search it doesn't give me that many options. Like i type in "Ric Flair" and it only gives me 4 videos to choose from. Obviously there are alot more than that, unless im doing something wrong.

[jriquelme]

Please upload to the forum... only 600Kb

[dogbeef]

awesome program! a few things though, i'm running this on a sprint mogul, no2chem 2.0 ROM, when i play the video in landscape mode the video starts towards the bottom of the screen and blocks the 'stop/full/cancel' buttons, i have to close the video by just poking in the general direction of where i THINK the stop button is...

also another suggestion, perhaps an option for more search results, right now i'm pulling only 4 or so and i would like to be able to get every video that's available.

besides that, this is an awesome program, thank you!!!

[cavalloz]

Still early version, literally just it going today!

Landscape mode and VGA are next on the list for testing and fixing.

Currently it is set to return only 5 results, just to make it quick! Will include some config options in the next few versions to change this.

Download function - noted, might also be able to include FLV to other format conversion.

Skins and finger friendly buttons etc. again noted but low on the priority list.

May work, why not give it a try. You may find the search works but playing doesn't.

[Justhim]

great app!
I installed it on my Touch Dual, but when i search for a video, he hangs when he is loading the results... I see some text comming in the result window and they I get the following error:

Maybe the error can help you... :)

[Infuruno]

Anyone upload to site plz rapidshare link keeps saying invalid session currently on my sixth attempt.

[Justhim]

I'll remove it when there's a updated version...

[robosiris]

BUMP . ....

[Infuruno]

Thanks! rapidshare was driving me crazy.
EDIT : Works fine on my Kaiser nice work.

[Bratag]

Wow - beats the pants of coreplayer. Great app - looking forwards to the version where number returned can be configured.

[dzelaya18]

What device?

Oh, sorry. It's in my signature. It's an 8525 (Hermes) with the official AT&T WM6 ROM.

[jriquelme]

:D Thanks!!!

Muchas Gracias!

Rapidshare sucks on my Country (Paraguay)...

Thaks Very very much

[lupes5]

Im experiencing a problem. I can search for videos just fine (only shows a few results which im sure will be addressed), but when i try to play, it loads the player, but as soon as it finishes buffering, it closes itself...

i see another user is having this issue as well


im using an AT&T 8525, with Pay's v3.05 wm6.1 Rom

[gu12u7]

i have an att tilt with wm6.1

i installed the app on my device, but when i try to load nothing happens. double clicked nada, soft reset, run the app again....nothing.

the icon for the app is a blank icon also.

any idea?

[GiZZy]

Will this work if we are connecting to the internet via Proxy? I use tmobile..

I tried but it gives me an error when i select to play the video,
Works flawless through Wi-Fi though

[bill_in_mtl]

Works perfectly on my Wizard

Thanks for this - will keep an eye on the progression of this software

Again, thanks

:)

[coheed22]

This is awsome i love it ty so much!

P.S. could you make the ui alittle nicer?

[kweng_ca]

wow, this program has great potential. its working excellent for the most part, every once in a while, it stops playing the video midway and then crashes. btw, im on a herald. Great to see a new way to watch youtube.

[met3ora]

I'm having quite a problem with the program. I click the shortcut to open it, I get the loading icon and then nothing happens, nothing opens.

[gobmonster]

This is an amazing app, can you get it to work with veoh and the other flashbundle sites?

[milesmowbray]

For all the people where it crashes playing the video, it is because I compiled all this for ARM5. Will do an ARM4 compile later.

This device has a Samsung processor which is ARMv4T only, this program was compiled for ARM5 architecture. Will recompile later and post it up.

[str8ridah]

great man!!!! thank in advance!!! iphone sucks!!!:)

[Morvale]

Works very well here on my Kaiser. Good work! :) Keep it up and i'm sure we'll see some extra's in it soon.

[milesmowbray]

Same version compiled for more processors (ARM4+), should work on all modern devices now. The only other change is a new icon.

Works perfect now!! This blows coreplayer's youtube away easily! Can't wait for updates.

My only gripes right now are the limited search results, and how the program looks. (I know you've already addressed both of these) Everything else is wonderful.

One issue I have is that when going to full screen, it shows in portrait for me, but upside down (right handed landscape instead of left-handed), not a big deal, i can just flip my phone over

[milesmowbray]

Screenshots

[flaviopac]

Can I use this app only to see youtube videos or also other sites?

[jatt_inder]

very nice app...working fine on hermes now with new cab...thanks alot..

mate is there any chance for integrating megavideo???

[l3v5y]

Works great on my Prophet! The only slight problem I have is if I turn the screen off whilst it is playing, it continues for a bit, and then shows the last frame in full screen above S2U2 which gets activated when I turn the screen off...

[acc0101]

It doesn't work on my prophet .. but always showing "Search Fail"

[aa125690]

Hey mate, could you please make an icon for this great program in next version?

See new version below

[milesmowbray]

New version:

1) Next button, allows you to retrieve more search results.
2) Slightly smaller thumbnails, this is the largest size returned from YouTube, no stretching now.
3) Video should now stop when the app loses focus.
4) Reduced the size slightly - should get smaller with every release as I get rid of unused code.
5) New Play/Pause and Stop buttons, Stop will return video to the start in the next version.
6) Now has icon

[milesmowbray]

It doesn't work on my prophet .. but always showing "Search Fail"

This usually means that the internet connection was not available.

[rolls1400]

Glad to see this app getting better!!! I am wondering about the stream buffer. I noticed a little lag and was wondering if we can put our own buffer value in. Also does it buffer when I hit pause? thanks again

[murrun]

simple yet powerfull app. thanks.

[meatlocker]

Kudos, man. Nice work.

[d3vil]

Could be more square-screen friendly, using it with samsung i780 in true vga mode, some screen space is unused...
Great work though, nice app!

[flaviopac]

Can your app play also other videos??

not only from youtube....

Nice Work! Runs pretty good on my HTC Cruise / XDA Orbit 2.

Another idea would be skinning. So that u can personalize it to ur phone.

Again, great work!

I hope this will be possible soon.....:)


:rolleyes:

[mtiberio]

Works fine on Treo 750 running WM6.

Only flaw is the pause stop etc buttons are under the screen. This is no doubt due to the Treo's square screen. If you tap the screen on the video at the spot where the button is behind, the button action works.

[surur]

Can this app be made smartphone friendly?

Surur

[dumpydooby]

Not as yet
I don't imagine it would be too difficult to make it a simple FLV player, would it?

Perhaps add an ability to manually put in a URL to an FLV? If you can make it follow redirect commands, that would also be helpful.

[A.J]

well for me the best way to view the youtube and download from it
www.ytpocket.com
with TCPMP 0.81
:D

[dzelaya18]

New version working great now. Would love to be able to use it on other FLV sites!

[thakidc]

thanks this worked great on my mogul. 2 suggestions, backlight keep alive, and ability to tap the image to go into fullscreen.

[indeo]

This may have been covered already, I read most of the posts. But is there any way to do the audio/video sync -400ms like you can in TCPMP? I think the video would line up quite a bit better.

[Mr_Gee]

Great app, some things id like to see though :-)
- "Keep alive" when watching a video
- I'd change "cancel" to "back"
- I'd also change the search layout to something like this (http://phonedifferent.com/images/2007/07/review/youtube1.jpg)
with the search box on top and the buttons next to each other at the bottom

and I found a small issue when viewing a video and you click cancel and want to view the video again the button is disabled, you need to select another video before you can go back to the initial one..

But it looks great and works like a charm :-)
thanks!

[bpack428]

I would also like to play other flv videos. Here are some specific sites I would like to see in the new version:

video.google.com
joox.net
quicksliverscreen.com

thank you and great work

[acc0101]

It's working on my prophet now..
Nice app but how can I stop searching while it's getting too long?
and it seems doesn't support Chinese search..

[coldsweat]

For all the people where it crashes playing the video, it is because I compiled all this for ARM5. Will do an ARM4 compile later.


thanks a lot for your hard work ;)

Not everyone lives in the USA! In the UK we format dates like this.

To be fair, 2007 is a different year from 2008...

Although, how many months are there in a year? I believe less than 16. (At least in the UK there are only 12)

Now... What does the new version do?

Supports any kind of internet connection although GPRS may be a bit slow.

[sackbauer]

one suggestion - can you please include version number in the file name of the cab file ?

[sackbauer]

... forgot to mention

needless to say that your application rocks !!

[l3v5y]

Just a little idea... Any chance of this supporting MoDaCos AppToDate standard: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=327990 It would be very useful given the number of updates etc...

[sackbauer]

jesus !!! did not recognise this before !
this is great if apps can be checked and updated as per modaco's app

[PoohBear88]

Very nice piece of software. I hope u don't mind if I shared it with the visitors on my software website (http://www.wm6software.net/windows-mobile/action/download_page/id/233). This software is what I was looking for. My HTC touch could not play any youtube videos prior to installing this. Props to you!

[mtiberio]

while I like the UI on the 3/16 version, it is much less reliable than the 3/15 version (from post #55).

Nice work, please keep it up, Could you start to version number the cab files?

just re-read my post; really sounded rude
didn't meant that- just thought updates are better in first post cause this thread is gonna be huge as this is great software :)

[anubis.genix]

i wish there was an option to open flv files from ppc.
i already tried the modificated tcpmp version, but it tells me the format is not supported :(

[surur]

I see what he means with less reliable. I had my first crash with the latest version.

BTW, can the up and down keys be made to control the volume on the video screen, and scroll the list of videos on the home screen. Also, when you click on the search button, can the text entry field be deselected, so the on-screen keyboard goes away automatically?

[tmz]

Thanks so much this app. F""""""" ROCKS... T M Z

[aa125690]

This one works fine now, thanks mate.

One more suggestion besides the others above: Could you make an option of setting a cache folder(in main memory or in memory card) for this program so that the videos can be re-played immediately when we want, but not cause downloading any data again?

[maxm]

great program, thanks! One issue though: it crashes when I enter Chinese in the search field

[nobrakes]

Nice app. Running well on my vogue. Is there a way to change the landscape view the other way? I looked in the registry and couldn't find the settings for that. I view my apps in left handed landscape (slingbox, tcpmp). Also, is there a way to go back to previous videos from the search screen? Just say I'm browsing the list of videos, and I go to the next page, can I go back to the previous page or do I have to start over from the beginning?

[mtiberio]

Could you describe "less reliable"?


Locks up when I go from full screen and or back. Earlier version did that flawlessly (even though I had to know where to touch the screen because on my Treo 750, the buttons were under the screen).

Have you looked into having your program open up flv files directly from websites. This is the best program for Youtube so far and would love to use it for other flv sites (google, dailymotion, etc).

[l3v5y]

If you read the first post, it states that milesmowbray is not planning on supporting other sites.

[hubyboss]

Great work. I would definitely like to see a Save Video function too though...

Thanks so much this app.

on my blackjack ii it doesn't work :(

it says there was an unexpected error

youtubeplay.exe
notsupportedexception

and then some technical mumbo jumbo

please fix this?

hrshytbone@earthlink.net

[l3v5y]

I think it's because the BJII is a smartphone rather than a PPC type device.

notsupportedexception implies support for the platform has not been implemented but it can only be fixed by changing some of the code.

[MavisPuford]

This app is amazing! I love you!


Now I can watch old episodes of Legends of the Hidden Temple wherever I am! :D

[kltye]

Awesome app! I think this is by far the most elegant solution to playing YT videos on WM. I do mobile device development myself, so I do understand it's really difficult to troubleshoot all these issues. I wouldn't mind helping you out with the UI changes everyone is clamouring for, if you want to continue working with the core functionality/stability issues.

And hrshybartbone, welcome to the forums. However, please learn how to report bugs - the term "technical mumbo jumbo" does not help developers at all. It is precisely the error messages that help us track down the problem to fix it. That goes for anyone else who might want to report bugs :)

great work!

would love to see rotation/landscape support and operation via the softkeys.

Thanks! :)

working Great on my Sprint Mogul (Titan)

no crashes for me yet using custom cooked no2chem 5060 ROM
can't wait for new versions/extra features!

keep up the good work, you're my hero milesmowbray!

[drakane]

Would it be possible to somehow display how much of a clip has already been cached (in % or at least kB)? Would help a lot on connections which are too slow to play a clip in real time so you can know when to start watching and to see whether it is still loading!

Also, on a VGA display the play, pause, etc. icon are really tiny, but i still manage to hit them...

Otherwise, thanks for a very convenient program!

This app is AWESOME! I couldn't sleep last night so I surfed Youtube with it and had a great time. Wow, very elegant solution and it works extremely well on my Mogul! Kudos man, thanks for the proggie!

[Menneisyys]

Great!!! I can't play with Coreplayer on my prophet, but this rocks! Wheel done, man. Thanks

Did you set the quality to H/264 / High? It switches to HTTP / H.264 and will play stuff otherwise not accessible because of the RTSP network restrictions.

[Menneisyys]

Wow - beats the pants of coreplayer. Great app - looking forwards to the version where number returned can be configured.

Did you check out the latest, 1.2.3 version of CP? Apart from the lack of stereo AAC+ sound (which soon will be implemented), it's VERY good. And, don't forget youtubeplay is based on the old and less efficient AVC / AAC libraries, meaning higher CPU usage / lower FPS.

Of course, youtubeplay's price is unbeatable and is indeed a decent app.

[Menneisyys]

well for me the best way to view the youtube and download from it
www.ytpocket.com
with TCPMP 0.81
:D

note that 0.81 is NOT recommended - it's a hacked, suboptimal version. use the last official version, 0.72rc1

[Menneisyys]

milesmowbray, any chance to implement a "related videos" list? It's painfully missing from CP 1.2.3.

Props to milesmowbray... nice app ;-)

For Bratag.... 'Beats' is a stong word with no facts to back it up....
CorePlayer 'lessens' the overhead by removing the FLV layer from the picture.. its as simple as that (if this is what your referring too).

PPL need to understand that like Real Audio/Video.... FLV and the Flash Container is a 'locked' ecosystem by Adobe and imho a poor design for the long run (its also not a very effecient container... why? For example Double stacking a fast MPEG-4 file into a slow FLV container is like trying put a 4" pipe in a 2" hole). We would rather ppl stick to using MPEG-4 or our Matroska Container both of which are open, fast and well documented containers.

Back to Bratag though... if you can benchmark and show that I am wrong.....

One last thing.... Current remaining YouTube CorePlayer connectivity issues will go away over the next couple of releases as we do two things....
- Automate the YouTube Quality Control 'seeking'... this will help incase one setting appears to hang (spinning buffering icon).
- Add Progressive Downloading... this way if CP encouters a bad connectivity problem (but can still access the stream) it will then just buffer the content and then begin playback.

[juiceppc]

Although a great concept I get better /quicker results and streaming with m.youtube.com and the Streaming Media Player combo.

[sonus]

Although a great concept I get better /quicker results and streaming with m.youtube.com and the Streaming Media Player combo.

To be honest, I used to be diehard fan of m.youtube.com, but streaming the REAL YouTube makes for awesome quality on our devices. m.youtube.com comes nowhere close to the level of streaming audio and
video quality you get from using an FLV solution like YouTube Player. Bottom line, m.youtube.com is really intended for lesser non 3G devices. YouTube Player shows the potential our devices really have.

This really is an awesome app, I would love
1. the option to see related videos,
2. have maybe 10 thumbnails by default,
3. and the option to at least see people's youtube comments.
4. the option to login and use saved playlists, vids, etc.

althought youtubeplay uses older libraries, it works loads better on my hermes...

coreplayer works fine on medium youtube video quality, but if i put it up to high quality, playback stutters, and is impossible to watch (3g and wifi have been tested)...

youtube play has great video quality and works wonderfully over 3g, with rarely any hiccups

so for me, youtubeplay is much better than coreplayer...i just wish the ui looked nicer :P

Even now Youtubeplay's UI is simpler and easier to use. I have bought coreplayer, but due to the tiny icons used in the UI and confusing design, not to mention inconsistent playback, youtubeplay beats the pants of it.

Not to get into a tit-for-tat... You totally skipped over what my point was... FLV is a disease and should be avoided at all costs on ANY mobile device for multimedia. Current reports of 'studdering' in CP with YT will be gone once we add the progressive downloading support. On your point is that the CP is confusing? I'm not even gonna go there. Also, if you look at our YT UI... its almost the same as the current m.youtube.com but we have omited some features till later on when we add it as a module with login, uploading, related, and bookmarking.

Strange, while developing this app I test it on a Kaiser which currently is running Dutty latest 19209 build. It obviously works fine here.

It just needs the compact framework v2 (or v3.5).

Any error messages?

[milesmowbray]

No idea, doesn't happend here.

But if you have found a video that always stops after 1 second, send me the reference and I can try it here.

EVERYONE: When reporting possible bugs/issues it is useful to provide as much info as possible:

What PDA? What version of WM? What version of Compact Framework? Exact error message?

Anything you think might help in tracking down the problem. If none of this is supplied I will just ignore you.

[milesmowbray]

one further wish: I dont know if it is possible but could you please add youporn feature? then my classmates would hate me for having that on my mobile ;)

I think this may lower the tone of the software slightly!

I don't really want to add any other video sites as none of them have a nice consistent API like YouTube:

http://code.google.com/apis/youtube/overview.html

Some have RSS feeds but these don't allow searches. Web page scraping is not going to happen here as the slightest change to the page and it stops working.

If anyone knows any video sites with an API then maybe I could look at adding them in the future.

Just checked and my ROM's running Compact Framework v2 (something else to upgrade in the next ROM release!). Just installed v3.5 (checked on cgautil.exe) and the same issue happens.

It installs fine, and shows the program icon in the Programs list. Clicking it produces the windows wait symbol for approx half a second, then the wait symbol disappears but nothing else happens - no program launches and no error message. Task Manager shows no extra applications running, but viewing processes in Task Manager shows youtubeplay.exe running with 1.53M memory usage and 0% CPU

Like I said, I'm sure it's something in the ROM - probably just something Dutty fixed and I don't because he knows what he's doing! :)

[C Brown]

Thank you sooo much this is a great app!!


This is my YouTube search/player application. Bit like the latest CorePlayer.

It allows you to search for videos in a nice friendly Windows Mobile app and then plays the full FLV video (not miniscule MPEG4 versions) with its own player.

The app is written in a mixture of .net and C so you need the .net runtime, v2.

The video player overlay is hacked out of TCPMP and the FLV part is based on FFMPEG.

Latest version will alway be attached here.

youtubeplay last updated 16/4/08, changes:

New black look
Removed buttons, added toolbar
VGA portrait support (only testing in emulator)
Click on video for fullscreen
Backlight keepalive

Things planned: Support for all YouTube feeds, logons. Saving/loading FLV to/from file

Things not planned: Other video sites

Known issues: Sometime crashes downloading thumbnails (rarely), landscape mode not right

Everybody should note that this application will eat bandwidth, no consideration has been made for data consumed, so Wifi/ActiveSync or unlimited 3g only, be prepared for a big data bill otherwise. Won't work well on GPRS anyway as FLV vids are quite sizeable.

Comments / suggestions welcome.

[LordDeath]

Thank you very much, this works great :)

Can I change the screen orientation for the fullscreen mode?

edit: And the playback is MUCH smoother than with coreplayer :)

[rosboy]

It just shuts down as soon as it buffers the video for me. It searches just fine and all, but right after buffering it closes itself. Tried a soft reset, but no change.

On a side note, would this be able to function as a stand alone FLV player? So that we could download FLV clips off the web, save them on the storage card and watch them later? I've tried the TCPMP w/ flash plugin solution but it never works for me.
Try Smart Flash with Macromedia Flash Plugin both are freeware and can be found on www.pocketpcfreeware.mobi.

[freaksey]

thnx! works great on my touch!

err... could you plz include something like a history or favorites menu until the download option isnt finished? that would be really nice of you.

[mrhocuspocus]

WOW! this is hands down one of the best apps i have on my phone now. Thanks dude. I hope you continue development of this, it already rocks.

edit: After using this app for a while im still impressed with how fast it is, will you consider an option to use the gui to search for videos and then when you click play it will open in TCPMP? I like alot of the features tcpmp offers, as far as saving and playing options.

He uses a stripped down version of tcpmp to make it run fast and have smaller footprint. I dont think there would be any reason to do this. If you want that just get the hacked tcpmp with flv support, use pie to browse then it plays with tcpmp.

Sure there is. First it wouldn't affect the app for those who didn't want to use the option. Second, you could save the videos. Third, you could affect the playback speed. Fourth, you could skip around in the video, during or after play with the slider. Fifth, its very cumbersome to navigate the youtube website using pie. I really dont see a reason not to do it, but its not my app or my call. Just a suggestion.

Has anybody tested this on a VGA Device? I loaded it up, and it looks good. I've yet to fully test it yet since I've been busy. But I was just wondering if the app was already made to be universal for any resolution cause it actually looks good I think in VGA.

http://www.lennysh.com/Axim/WM6.1/SS/youtube.jpg

Looks usable anyway....

[Ya Boi D]

Works great! Thanks

[l3v5y]

My only problem with this app (which is sortof evident in the picture in post #191) is the buttons at the bottom!!! They are all very close together, and with VGA, they are also small.

Also, in the playback screen, there is no need for the keyboard (which I assume is why the buttons are all on the bottom menu bar) and so could the buttons be placed at the bottom of the screen as buttons rather than items on a menu bar?

Gave it a brief run. It looks and feels pretty nice. Was slightly confused how to get out of full-screen mode for a brief moment as I was in a bit of a rush. (I had about ~30 seconds to check it out after installing).

A couple of us have had issues with Kaiser ROMs based on the 19209 build causing this same problem (although other ROMs based on the same build are fine). Might be worth trying a WM6.1 ROM if you experience this problem. :)

[sonus]

Awesome program but it has a critical issue on my phone. It crashes the HTC Cube on my Touch Cruise at first and upon a restart attempting to bring up the HTC Cube crashes the touch screen rendering it completely unresponsive. I did a hard reset and reinstalling YouTube player a second time yielded the same results.

I really love your program and would more than happy to provide you with any extra information so that hopefully a fix could be incorporated. Keep in contact! I'm really greatful for your awesome program.

Some more detail:
Installing and running YouTube Player causes the HTC Cube to eventually crash and stop comming up. A soft reset does no good, and after the reset attempting to call up the cube causes the phone to no longer be responsive to any touch screen input (I am assuming the touch.dll driver crashes). Thereafter, after any soft resets the phone takes longer to boot and any attempt to call up the cube will result ina non-responsive touch screen.

Seems its .NET error as Im using WM6.1 .NET V3.5 ; but I don't have trouble using TCPMP + Youtube Bundle running in IE.

Your program is much simplier and better if you can solve chinese support problem.

Thanks

Hi Guys,

on which Port the Programm goes out? On my T-Mobile W'n'W Handyflat only http and https Ports are free!

I got an error since i have the Flat!

[Menneisyys]

Which one of them?And is this to be installed on my smart phone of the pc :confused:

Please ALWAYS follow my articles, I've provided a link to the CF2 direct CAB file several times. See http://www.winmobiletech.com/sekalaiset/CF2SP2/NETCFv2.wm.armv4i.cab

Hi,

Is there anyone can run this app successfully on WM6.1 device ? I tried both wm6.0 and wm6.1 and the later one didn't work. No error message appears, the app just get closed : (

Wonder if it's just my device or this app haven't support WM6.1 yet?

A couple of us have had issues with the 19209 builds causing this same problem. Might be worth trying a WM6.1 ROM based on a different build as these apparently work fine? :)

The screen shot I posted earlier was from a VGA device running WM6.1 19209.1.0.2. It has also worked damn good on my Titan/Mogul which is also running 19209.1.0.2 and is QVGA of course. So I do not know what problems you have been reading/hearing about/having as I have had none so far..

Thanks for the correction, mate. I've edited my original post so nobody reads it and gets the wrong message.

Thanks again Lennysh. :)

[Freejack3]

Works great on my Sprint Mogul. Plays everything I've found on youtube so far, even ones considered mature, and best of all no jerkiness in the video.
Thank you!

It reads the search results and FLV from standard http:// (port 80), so you should be fine.

What is the error?

[lupes5]

thanks for the update miles, the new version works great...looks alot nicer as well....the new features are well appreciated....

an audio video offset would make this the perfect app, as the sound and video dont line up, however thats just a minor gripe, since its not too bad

also, an option to change portrait mode to left handed or right handed would be great, portrait mode on my hermes is backwards

either way, this prog is great, thanks for the great app

The Error Massage: Search failed, internet connection working?

With Palringo etc. it will be work...

[brousouf34]

Thanks milesmowbray for this useful software.

I would suggest one improvement : When the video is fullscreen, I would appreciate if it was upside down (rotate left instead of rotate right).
May be you could add a parameter for this.

(excuse my aproximate english)

had the same issue when I had my BT on and connected via active sync. Once I turned it off and allowed gprs/wifi connect I was able to search.

[LycanNyc]

Thanks for this..
Where do I get the requirements for my Titan and Vogue ?

No BT Connections are active! Only GPRS/Edge is always on!

Any WM6+ device will already have the .net compact framework v2 already on it. I think it's only WM5 that needs it installed as WM5 comes with .net compact v1 and this app needs v2.

Cool! With the forthcoming release of the new Symbian CP, I'm going to update the YouTube Bible; will also mention this.

[roman2113]

Love the save feature! Works great on my wing even though I have edge (sighs). The quality is excellent vs programs like vtap which make the picture all grainy and the audio sound like garbage. Thank you so much for such a great program! :D

[nir36]

pardon but where do you change the number of frames again?

[tortosiechen]

Great work!thanks for the excellent program u've made.works perfect on my touch.

v1.0.0.6 now available - see first post

[thakidc]

This new version works great i love all the extras that have been put in. I noticed that when you tap the quit button it exits the app and shuts it down, but when i hit my OK button it does the same anyway to make it minimize when OK is hit and close when quit is hit, i would like to leave the program running in some situations. Besides that the app is perfect oh if its a lot of coding dont worry about it.

[RetroElectro]

Nice program. I'm having some problems with the SIP. Previous versions had an icon for the keyboard but now it's kind of random how to get it to open. When I start the program, I get the SIP, but if I minimize it and tap on the text field it doesn't open. If I go to config and back to the text field, I can get the keyboard to show. Is it possible to have the SIP button again?

[McHale]

Just installed the latest version and it worked great.

In the config tab, how about a setting to AUTO rotate and play full 4x3 as opposed to having to click on the screen to activate. I know it's a little nitpicky but something I immediately looked for to change.

Great job!

-Mc

[l3v5y]

I love the new buttons, and the save/load functionality, but I agree with the above point about autorotate if possible...

[Genesis3]

Miles, any issues with my making an OEM out of this and cooking it?

[Menneisyys]

v1.0.0.6 now available - see first post

Great! Will soon post an update to the YouTube Bible; will also mention the new features.

[nikjensie]

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: GREAT WORK!!!

In latest version, I have a few issues:
* A SIP button would be nice as I sometime have problems accessing the soft keyboard to type in the search field.
* I have no text to the right of the right of the checkboxes in Config.
* Last but definitely not least... playing a clip in 1.0.0.6 casues the app to crash and shut down, so fast that I can't even see the error message code. Worked great in 1.0.0.5.

*EDIT*: Just tried again with 1.0.0.5 and 1.0.0.4 and the same error occurs so it must be a problem with my phone,
sorry...

I'm using HTC TyTNII with Duttys 6.1 ROM (Next to last release).

Keep up the great work!

//Nik

[nir36]

some of the videos work pretty slow.. it would be nice to have a reg tweak or a built in option to manually change the number of frames.

[thakidc]

Sorry seems my phone wanted to play jokes on me ignore my post GREAT APP THANK YOU for your hard work.

[padawan]

Anyone having any luck playing local .flv files from the storage card?

All I get is audio and no video.

[ghanem]

I am all of the sudden getting the "internet connection working?" error popup. The strange thing is I was using the app earlier with no problems. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling v 1.0.0.6 with no solution. I tried installing the v 1.0.0.5 also with no luck. Ive deleted v 1.0.0.4 so i cannot try that.

Hope this is easily resolved.I got the same problem when I changed the configuration
For example, I changed the "Results Returned", error accoured, replaced it back to 5, it worked fine..

[aa125690]

When I play the local *.flv files, I found that the video shown has a delay. It is a bit slower than the soundtrack. How to say... The speeds of both of them are the same, but not running in the same time - sounds come out a little bit eariler than the figures.

[aa125690]

In addition:

If the video can be controlled by the hardware buttons, it would be great.

The latest release works perfectly in my device, and no more errors... Great work^^!

[cjmedina]

this new one actually work on my tilt with duttys newest rom. i can watch the whole video. the only problem i have is if i change how many results to show it says no internet. ive gotten it up to 24 but after that i get the error. thanks for a good programs look foward to seeing the final release

This is embarrassing... I figured out why I couldn't play clips anymore... It's actually all in the text above... HINT: If you can't see the text to the right of the checkboxes... DON'T CHECK THEM ALL... sorry for the alert. App still rocks!!

Although I do still have a problem with the checkbox texts not showing, not a biggie though. I have had a another thought I'd like to ask...

Would it be hard to implement a Cop/Paste menu when you tap and hold on the search field. I know it's common in the WM system but I don't know if it'd be hard to implement...
