It was just a few days ago that I’ve reported (http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=2129&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1) on the latest developments of playing back YouTube (and similar) videos on both Windows Mobile platforms.

Developing for Windows Mobile is so blazingly fast that immediately after publishing my article, a brand new and even better solution has been released, which doesn’t require any manual intervention to search and play videos any more.

There is an excellent tutorial, along with the two CAB files you need, HERE (http://discussion.treocentral.com/showpost.php?p=1319431&postcount=1) (related thread HERE (http://discussion.treocentral.com/showthread.php?t=148801)). Please follow this tutorial on setting up the new player. Note that, in order to play back videos on a touchscreen-less MS Smartphone (Windows Mobile Standard) platform, you’ll need THIS (http://picard.exceed.hu/tcpmp/test/tcpmp.smartphone.0.72RC1.cab) TCPMP CAB file (instead of the one linked in the tutorial) – while the other CAB file, FlashVideoBundle.CAB, can be installed on Smartphones as well.

After installing, just go to, say, YouTube and click any video on, say, the main homepage. The video playback will (almost) immediately start, after switching to TCPMP.

Compared to the MobyTube-based solution explained in my previous tutorial (http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=2129&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1),

The pros:
when you click a link in the REAL YouTube (and the other video repositories), you will be taken straight to TCPMP playing back the clip. No MobyTube searching / copy-pasting is necessary!
Smartphone compliance!
The cons:
not compatible with alternative browsers like Opera Mobile or NetFront; with them, stick to the MobyTube solution explained in my previous tutorial (http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=2129&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1). Note that it’s compatible with all PIE plug-ins (tested with PIEPlus and MultiIE; the latter on both (Pocket PC’s and Smartphones) platforms)
no pre-WM5 compliance

All in all, GO GET IT! You’ll LOVE it!

Wow!

Finally - a one step process.

I tried it tonight on my Cingular 8125. Very easy to install. Very good response on about 15 different videos. Only one video out of those 15 was somewhat choppy. Have not changed any of the settings yet, though, to try and see if there is improvement. But the rest of the videos played clean with sound matching video playback.

Time frame beetween clicking on youtube.com video and TCPMP opening it is only 1 or 2 seconds.

Okay - Friday I posted that this worked great for me on my Cingular 8125 with TCPMP. Now I have tried it on my Dell Axim x51v, which has the paid version - Core Player - with no luck. Does this Flash Video Bundle not work with the paid version?

How do I make YouTube videos work with Core Player?

You can't, sorry - ONLY TCPMP is compatible.

Menneisyys - can you guide me to a comparison between TCPMP (free Beta) and the Core Player (paid version)?

I have looked for something quick and cannot seem to find one. Figured you may already have one that you have done or know where I can find it.

Thanks.

Quick warning: IEM plugin-based YouTube tools currently don't work!

I've just been reported (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1462059&postcount=39) YouTube has changed the HTML layout; hence, the well-known IEM plug-in (http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&title=yet_another_great_way_to_play_youtube_go&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1) to play back YouTube automatically from IEM doesn't work for the time being. I'll announce at once when there's a newer, compatible version.

For the time being, you can still use the tutorial HERE (http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=2129&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1), as it doesn't depend on a plug-in and, therefore, still works.

As was reported (http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&title=quick_warning_tcpmp_based_youtube_tools&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1) some days ago, YouTube has changed the layout of their pages, resulting in the best IEM plug-in (http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&title=yet_another_great_way_to_play_youtube_go&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1) not working.

Now the author of the plug-in has just released a new (1.2) version, which fixes this problem. See his original post (http://discussion.treocentral.com/showpost.php?p=1319431&postcount=1) for the download.

BTW, there is also an interesting post on playing back YouTube videos via YouTube Pocket (http://ytpocket.ath.cx/) HERE (http://www.aximsite.com/boards/1059145407-post11.html).

One cannot download from that site, without being registered on that forum. Can someone upload the plug-in somewhere else?
