You Tube and Real Player

[AndyJPA]

Evenin

Initially when i clicked a you tube video within IE or Opera 9.5 the video used to open in a seprate player that came pre-installed with WM6.1 if i am correct i think it was HTC's own but i may be wrong. Anyway since i installed real player clicking a link in IE dose nothing and in Opera real player opens and throws up some unable to connect error.

Why has what appears to be the default program for playing you tube clips be replaced with real player

Uninstalling real player makes no difference either.

any help really appreciated

Cheers

Andy

I have been looking in the registry and have no idea what I am looking for, and don't want to make it any worse than it already is

guess I am just going to have to flash the rom again and do without realplayer

You could use a program like SkTools to edit file type associations. I think Dinarsoft's MemMaid also allows you to customize file type associations.

Also why don't you install the Youtube Player app? Makes watching youtube videos much easier then browsing for them in Pocket IE or another browser and having them load up in a video streaming app. Its all done within the app so you dont have to worry about realplayer or another app hijacking your file associations.
