YouTube Streaming Mobile: A "How To" WM5/M6/SP
YouTube Mobile--How to for Treo, 6700, etc.
It's to my understanding newer WM6 devices can do m.youtube.com streaming natively. On the Treo 700 and some other devices, this is not the case due to lack of RTSP codec support (not even TCMP or CORE will save you!). Thanks to XDA, HowardForums and duken2389 at TC, this is how it is done. :thumbleft: Download this file :arrow: LINK Inside are 3 more files. - Step #1.zip: unzip to your device and copy to \Windows - Step#2- Streaming_210.cab: Install to Main mem on device Soft-reset - Step #3-HTC_Streaming_Media.cab: Install to Main mem Now, when you go to m.youtube.com and click the "view now" link, it should launch this program and stream the content. It's "OK" quality, no iPhone :lol: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ WM6/Mogul Users Directions (thanks Stroths!) 1. Install cab from Step 3. 2. Soft Reset as instructed by the software 3. Enjoy TIP: Stop the player and exit out of it before changing the screen orientation on the 6800. Otherwise, it makes it hang for about 5 seconds. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j2...creen007-3.png http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j2...creen008-2.png |
Works great....Thanx!
(ETA: 6700) |
didn't worked in my hw6945... :(
|
Whoot
I am gonna try this today. I hope it works seeing that YouTube seems to be the #4 top website in the world. I have to go see what is so darn good! :D
|

i still wish tcpmp could do this rather than another media product having to be installed.. but what they hey, imma give this a try! |

Works on 6800/Mogul
I tried m.youtube.com and it would not play anything on my 6800. I followed your instructions and now it works just as you described. Thanks for the instructions Mal.
|
THANK YOU SIR
|
Works but not that much of a selection. Beggars can't be choosy i guess :D

I imagine in a couple of months it'll be most of their catalogue. For everyone else, glad it's working! :thumbleft: |
Ok, I tried this out and it seems to work fine. However, I think the install can be simplified and an OEM can be created. What is strange is that all the files in Step#1 should be getting overwritten by the cabs.
|
BTW, to test I did a hard reset and just installed cab#3 and it works fine. Can anyone else confirm this?

On a side note, there still doesn't appear to be a way to stream videos from the main youtube site, is there? I read a recent post that installing the Flash 7 player on the 6800 allows it to work, but I can't get it to work on my 6700. I am able to use the codecs and YouTubeDownload.exe to download and play videos in TCPMP so that's better than nothing, but streaming would be nice. |
BTW, I found vixy.net. It lets you convert a youtube video to various formats and download them. This is great for favorite videos you want to have off hand. I found that Mp4 format works great with WMP. If someone wants to post a full thread on this, feel free.

It appears that devices < AKU 3.x/WM6 need some of those extra files. That is, just doing Steps 2 & 3 do not allow the program to work for me on the 700wx. So some finesse needs to be done to make sure that certain devices get the necessary files while newer AKU devices just get the minimum. It should be able to simplified though to a single .cab, I imagine. |
Mal, thanks for your posting. In my mogul should I be able to watch youtube without installing any software? I get an error everytime I try.

Works flawlessly on the Q. I installed step #2 on my storage card by accident, but it still works great! Thanks Mal!! :lol:

well we would not need to be begars if someone here can figure out how to convert streams from the full library at the mobetube website ANYONE ???? |
thanks!
|
Thank u
|
Thank u

I have had this installed on my wx for a few days now and just installed it on my 6800. My only question/comment is in regards to the orientation switch. Why would it rotate to landscape (left handed) vs (right handed) the way the device naturally opens.
|
does this only work for youtube streaming videos.
|
Thanks so much. :P
|
Hey works great !
one question about the mobile versoin of youtube... How come the search is so limited ? I tried to seach fame... and it came up with 3 clips. The main site comes up with way more. Thanks again! |
Installed Flashplayer 7 on my Sprint Mogul. Went straight to Youtube. The video and sound plays but it's very choppy.

It won't let me install one single .cab from the first post... Just keeps telling me that it 'Cannot be installed', and to "Try a Different Location". The storage card prob wouldn't have worked anywa, but I couldn't even install it there.
Any ideas?? -Touche' |
Wow, it works - now they just need a decent YT site.
|
why not just get orb
Why not just use orb? It allows you to use the full youtube website
|
It works on my blackjack
It works on my blackjack!! :D
Tx. |
works great on my Q. Thanks!!!!!
|
Great...I just installed the #3 cab on my Mogul and I'm stuck in a resetting loop....it gets to the green Windows Mobile screen and then resets...
Anyone know a trick to avoid a hard reset? |
