Firstly i`m loving this phone, coming from a SE T610, it`s a considerable leap forward for me !
Firstly, i have installed an app called pocket DivX, it wasnt behaving very well, so i uninstalled it in the remove programs page. I then rebooted but am still getting the what i can only describe as "dead icons" in the programs page, any way to get rid of these please ?
Also im having a few problems streaming videos from the internet, i go to a site like google video or youtube eg and it says i either dont have java enabled, or that my version is out of date, so consequently it wont show any video footage.
Also is it possible there is a codec pack for WM5 that would allow eg, QT,avi,divx,ogg,xvid and other similar file extensions?
hi there,
on my former MDA Compact 1 (T-Mobile Germany) it was possible to watch embedded mediaplayer-videos in PIE.
For example this link: http://jt.france3.fr/regions/popup....egions_corse_videojt_1920regional_corsicasera
With my Vario2 (Hermes) (T-Mobile Germany) this doesn't work any more. There is only shown a placeholder to load the recent MediaPlayer.
Any suggestions to fix it?
Greetings from Germany
Tobi
no idea anyway?
greetz
Has anyone had any experience using this Video Player ?
VTAP is by far the best free option

Haha hm...sounds like a neutral party post ...
EDIT: Seems to work real good. Easy to find videos and such. Plus wikipedia
Just downloaded.
This is by far the best web video solution out.
it searches all kinds of sites not just youtube
my only gripe is it fullscreens upside down on hermes.
I like it! Thanks.
Videos work great, and the Wikipedia is real nice.

Was wondering that myself. A bit silly. I just went into the Start Menu folder and deleted one of them. I think the smaller of the two. Still works fine.
I work for Veveo Inc. who provide the vTap service.
1. We are looking into the issue with the 2 icons in the programs folder. In the mean time, if you want to remove the vtap(1) icon, I have posted a process to remove it at this link: http://www.vtap.com/faq.html#rq11 .
2. We are looking into the upside down video on the Hermes phone. This has been seen now on a couple of HTC phones. I will post back when we have a solution for that problem.
Hi,
I have an issue with Vtap, it won't connect to the server, why??
It says "Server is temporary unavailable, please click 'retry' to try again.
It keeps saying that over and over again when I'm at home using WiFi. Interestingly, when I go to a hotspot location, it would work.
I have tried to reconfigure my router to put my phone in the DMZ to open all ports but it still won't work?
What is going on?
Btw, I'm living in Singapore, if it matters.
I really like vtap. I think its an awesome app and it pretty easy to use. Of course with T-mo US only being able to offer edge it kind of kills the overall experience for me. But I tried this with a WiFi connection and it works perfect with a high speed data connection.
Must say I haven't checked the wiki or the faq, but it is a real nice videoplayer for youtube etc.
aalvino keep it up

Hello All.. We have posted a new version of the vTap client. This version has a number of bug Fixes:
1 - Storage Card - Previously if you requested vTap to be installed on a storage card, it would still get installed into the main memory of the phone. This has been fixed, and vTap will now be installed onto the storage card.
2 - Double Icon - Previosly when installing vTap, there would be 2 icons created in the Programs folder. Now after installing, there should be only one icon.
3 - Proxy Issue - There was an issue when connecting through some proxies where you would not be able to play clips. An error would be reported indicating the resolved clip is empty. This issue has been resolved.
You can install the latest version of the vTap client by pointing the browser on your phone to www.vtap.com, and downloading the appropriate application.
Can it work with any site with videos?
I'm connected and able to download.....however, I only get the audio playback......no video. Instead, I'm getting a green screen with a bizarre purple stripe design....This is on 3G...

Hey aalvino,
I'm using an 8525 (Hermes 100) w/vp3G's WM6 v3.62 AT&T ROM. Not sure about the DirectDraw support. I'd like to add that I'm having the same issue with my WiFi connection as well........good audio, but the psychedelic color video...would've been cool back in the '60s.......

The easiest way to install vTap is to just open the Browser on your phone, and go to the site www.vtap.com. You will then be prompted to download the correct .cab file and the installation should start automatically.
This is for the touch, but I dont see why it wont work on the Hermes. Good luck.
http://s3.amazonaws.com/qik_production/clients/150/Qik_ppc_0.1.10.cab
If you didnt know, this is to stream live video to the internet. It can be viewed at qik.com. I installed it and it launches but then closes right away. Maybe someone who is better at this can have a look and see if it can be made to work.
edit:I extraced the .cab and see that the .xml file has this line; <parm name="OSVersionMax" value="6.0" /> and Im running 6.1. What can I use to recompress this into a .cab after changing that value?
Hey just an fyi
Thanks for posting. I thought I would let you know it worked on my vzw 6800. Previously when I went to dl it said not supported.
Give Livecast a try it works on the 8525
www.livecast.com

Same problem
Hi-- i just tried the kaiser version on my hermes and it works, but it closes as soon as I hit stream. I'm convinced its because I don't have a chance to log into my qik account and it won't let me stream to whoever's account my cab is set up for. I also don't see why it wouldn't work for mine.
I do use livecast, but I only get 100 mb... at highest settings 300kb/s upstream... usually average around 150 kb in practice, I get about 1.5 hours worth of video. So, i was hoping to be able to get more storage out of qik... if anyone has a fix or workaround for the qik cabs on a hermes I'd love to hear it.
Otherwise, right on with previous poster.. .livecast rules!!!

I wouldnt watch it over vodafone connection, you'll use the allowance very quickly!
What part of the site did you go on to get this working? I think I have browsed everywhere with my X1 and I cant see a part that tells me my X1 is able to work with iplayer..

it DOESN'T work on my x1. it did used to work when i'd updated the user agent as per this thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=450552&highlight=iplayer&page=2
I went to bbc iplayer site with no modification to user agent, I can browse all content catchup, Live TV but most of time when I choose a program either stream doesn't work e.g. BBC news or if choosing BBC 4 or any serie e.g. Top Gear I receive the message "Sorry, this programme is currently unavailable". I am using wifi, anything else I should do? thanks
btw, some of the series states "available until 14th, 16th dec etc"

i now get the same message where i didn't before. obviously vodafone don't want us watching iplayer over their network. :-(
Works over WiFi for me, with no modifications to the user agent.
Surely you wouldn't want to be using it over 3G/HSDPA?? Wouldn't that cost a fortune??!
Couldn't view Live TV btw, just Catch Up. (No complaints haha)
would it be something to do with location, I live in Sweden and no matter what I choose from Catch up it's always unavailbale. I guess same as when trying to watch US NBC shows, series...

Iplayer is supposedly only open to UK residents as we pay the licence fee to allow the bbc to develop all these toys ;P
