WMExperts Forum Member / hero zbop has done the impossible: Written instructions for getting the full version of YouTube working on Windows Mobile without needing a PhD in Computer Science. That's not m.youtube.com, (which only features whatever videos YouTube has bothered to encode for that site), but the full YouTube. It's not quite plug 'n play, but it's darn close. If you follow zbop's instructions to a Tee you should be able to manage it. They're a lot easier than the earlier mentioned hack. Check out the tutorial.
Here’s a slimed down version:
If you follow the instructions exactly and use the preconfigured TCPMP settings, you should be able to play videos smoothly if your network connection is adequate.
Installation instructions:
1) If you already have a version of TCPMP installed, uninstall it now.
2) Install tcpmp.pocketpc.0.72RC1.cab: link here
3) Install FlashVideoBundle.CAB attached below (this MUST be installed in the same location as TCPMP)
4) Soft-reset
Caveats:
Requires pocket IE. This plugin will not work with Opera, NetFront, Picsel, etc. However, it is compatible with PiePlus.
Tips:
- Use MobileLeap or Skweezer to compress the content. These video sites use a lot of still video images which are a lot of content to download. I've found the following method works well for me. Goto Home, click settings, turn paging to "Off" and Save. Now try these links from your phone...
- Try XCPU Scalar, it helps.
- If your video is scrambled, change the video driver setting from "Raw Framebuffer" to "DirectDraw."
- Google video is a mess, IMHO. They mix links to Youtube, Google and even AOL and they continue to index lots of videos that have been removed. In addition, the complexity of their javascript/flash code make it a bear to deal with. If you are using it, I'd recommend skipping their main page and going to their "Top 100" page instead.
- Veoh videos tend to be higher quality than youtube, so it requires a fast connection.
- When clicking on a video image or title, be patient rather than repeatedly clicking it. It takes a little time to load up TCPMP, especially the first time.
- The FlashVideoBundle will work with TCPMP .81Beta, however I wouldn't recommend it. At least on my 700wx, I've noticed that playback seems to be much slower, especially with higher quality videos.
- If you want to disable the pocket IE plugin, first exit IE and then run "DisableVL.exe" in your TCPMP install directory. To enable it again, run "EnableVL.exe"
Thanks - this helps - however my personal view - this is complicated..
Check out a cool application Avot mV - where you can watch all the videos from YouTube, Google videos, Dailymotion and more.. All the web videos could be search and streamed to the mobile phone directly..
Linear Mode
